noticing the change, at once resented it ac

exceedingly sensitive disposition, and there‘
fore quick to take offence. He had met her
on the street, and accompanied her home;
but. instead of going into the house, accord-
ingto his usual custom, he left her at the
gate, with a cold bow, and as he turned
away, muttered to himself some words, not
at all complimentary, in regard to woman's
cuprice.

The next meeting was at a large party,

" How pleased Miss Weston seems with

“ Indeed," he returned quite fiercely, “you

me. And the next time ahemet that game-
man, she made out a pretty,shsdowy use of
injured innocence, taking care to leave the
implosion upon his mind that Helen had
been very ill-natured and abusive. But
still, in spite of her arts and wiles, she could
not flatter herself that she had gained much
power over him, He called sometimes, and
at parting was quite attentive, but she often
found him observing her with a smile that
was anything but aedulous,and after awhile
die began to hate him mostheerlly, although
she would not abandon the sttempl to sub-
jugate him at last. or, at least, to make
Helen think she had done so.

One day the young people were all going
to a picnic some distance from Beardstown,
and it ‘so happened that Helen, Lilly, Mr.
Temple and Mr. Mosely went together in
one carriage. It wasan' awkward arrange-
ment for all concerned, excepting lb
Barnes, who, radiant and beautiful, in a
simple straw hat. with pink ribbons, man-
aged to lacunae the discomfort of the other!
as much _es possible.

Helen had never appeared to greater dis-
advantage, and reserved and unwmfortable,
she leaned back in the carriage; her face
usually so bright and sweet, looked almost
sullen by the side of her animated compen-
ion
‘ ‘ 0h"crledelflty;‘ueywuc fitting rap-
idly along “ what lovely flowers! How
tempting they are."

" Shall we stop and gather some ?" Ed-
vard inquired

‘ If you twill be so kind " pod turning
it Helen, “ I know you think such things
foolish, but I am a perfect child where low-
ers are concerned—l love everything in na-
ture so dearly.“

The carriage was stopped, and jumping
out Mr. Temple and Lilly gathered as any
as lheir hands could hold—but after they
were seated again. the former arranged a
very pretty bouquet, and greatly to the as-
tonishment an‘d disgrln of his fair compen-
ion, handed it to Helen, saying, with a dim-
deuce quite unusual to him-—

“ Will you accept this, Miss Weston ?"

The quick flush and soft light in the eyes
that were raised for a moment to his, caused
his heart to throb with a. pleasure that was
only too plainly revealed—and if Lilly could
have managed slyly topm Helen out of the
carriage, she would have done it at that time
with marries relish and enjoyment. Bntvery
soon after this, not only Helen, but she her.
self wee tamed out, for the horses took
fright and Ir. lonely, who held the reins,
found them totally unmangeahle, and in
turning a corner their light wngou was over-
turned, mmwh; them all out in Meat
unceremonlou manner.

“ Oh, Mr. Temple,” cried Lilly, al‘ebtlng
utter helplmsneu, “ I do believe that I have
sprained myanelsz" and «extended we

Mr. Moody flew to Helen‘s aid, who de-
clued herself quite unhurt,slthough a little
dizzy.

“ Well,” he said,‘ “ Temple, if you will

horses,mdsce what has become of them‘
and the pieces of the wagon.” .

“Hr. Temple,” cried Lilly again, “ifyon
will only help me ever there to that little
brook, I slimld like it so much.”

He of course cared his arm, and assisted
her to ,the place designated, and she was
about to invent some new excuse to detain

utterly regardless of the basket of unsold

staircase, to a room where a pale, neat look—
lag woman, with large brown eym like her

little ones were contentedly playing in the
