She leaned over the garden gate as
she Bpoke, this veritable' village gos

poke bonnet, from which the cluster
ing gray ringleta peeped, the keen
blus eyea that seemed to read your
very thoughts, the trim little figure,
clad always in ample skirts of Quaker
gray or sombre brown.
Never was there a wedding, funeral
or christening m the village without
this estimable lady's presence. What
a harmless little body-she appeared
and how incapable ofcarryiEg about
that wonderful budget of information!
How nicely she imparted her knowl
edge to her listeners, beginning with,
'Well, I dou't mmd telling you'" or
'They do jsay, but of course you can't
believe anything,'' and ending with,
That's between you and me; it will
go no further."
I was in the garden that morning

brightest mantles. It was quite un-necessary-for

It mattered little to me, whether
the new curate was young and un
married, or a portly old fellow with a
wife and grown daughters. At heart
I disliked this interfering old woman
who had broken in on my reverie.
I thanked her kindly for her advice

She shook her head wisely, and was
off before I had time to recover from
the cruel thrust that had opened the

past. .

We were seated m the garden, one
afternoon in early autumn, Robert
Kathleen and I. She was, looking
unusually handsome in a drees of soft
ndian mull. My lover bad justrpaid
herji well merited compliment, for
which he was about to make a gra
cious reply, when Aunt Martbo came
to us.

spoke, will you gather some grapes

quest. Kathleen was at his side in a
raent, while I refused to join them,
eigumg a severe headache.
They do not want me, I reasoned
ith myself.
I watched them as they walked
away together, &e carrying the lit
tle wicket basket and ohe tossing her
bright curls with that coquettish air
that came so natural to her.
I cannot tell you what tempted me
to follow them. It must have teen
some even genius. Slowly I follow
ed down the pathway, tak.ngr every
precaution, not to be observed. Seat
ed upon a little rustic bench, I could
see every movement of my lover and
Kathleen.
How lovely she looked standing in
the orchard, the sunlight" " falling
athwart the loyely upturned face, on
which smile rested! Never was
seen a tairer vision. , Her sleeve of
soft texture falling back showed the.
shapely outstretched arm. '
Sometimes a peal of merry Jangh

The basket was full to overflowing,
and still they lingered; One bunch
of luscious grapes, the last gathered;
was in Robert's hand. He stooped to
place it with the others, when their
eyes met, their hands touched. . Was
I dreaming? Alas! no. I saw him
stoop and kiss her fondly. -I waited

or the new curate, Young and fool-

not buy a new bonnet for all th hew

Slowly we walkeds to church on
that bright Sunday morning, Marcia
hatting gayly and I, dressed ia the
plainest of dresses, walking silently
beside her. . - .1
I had not fully recovered fronj Mrs.
Griggs' unkind remarks, and was de
termined to show her my disincli na
tion to set my cap, as she termed it,
by appearing in au exceedingTVjnnbe-
commg gown. 1 was rarely aisap
pointed, on catching a last glimpse
n the mirror, to find that notwilh
standing my plain toilet anil my
wentysix years I was still a jretty
woman, and to hear my mother say
as I stopped to kiss her, How well
you're looking Mattiel . ;
How crowded the little village
church was filled to overflowing.
Every one was there, even that hate-
ul Mrs. Briggs. I caught a glimpse
of the great poke bonnet as I walked
quickly to my seat.
They were singing as we entered,
yet I scarcely heard them, feeling
rather-embarrassed, at coming late to
be gazed at by the entire congrega
won.
I sank, wearily among the soft cush
ions, gladly taking refuge behind a
arge palm leaf fan kindly proffered
by a partly old gen tleman beside me
Now a hush, a slight flutter among
the congregation, a- rustle of gar
ments, with now and then a subJued
whisper as the- pulpit was rolled to
he cBanccl and the new curate as
cended,
He's just lovely, whispered Jarcia
pulling softly at my sleeve. Do look
at him, Miss Kenwood.
I kept my eyes down cast. If ev
ery woman in thj congregation cast
glances of admiration I was deter
mined to do otherwise, x

the text. Clear and distinct were
the words of the speaker. The first
worcls had c msed my heart to beat
wildly. How like thit' voice, of long
ago that rich, soft voice that pleaded
for my lovel I listened like one in a
dream, until I raised my eyes to see
betore me Robert Preston.

One thing 1 was determined upon
I must leave the village. I dared
not trust myself further.- Reason as
