It was in Juno when the rosea were at their height, and 1 put the letter in a bed of roses. It was not a weolt later that he told me ho was engaged to Jennie. 1 was never so amazed in my life, but bo was so very odd about it, so stern and cold, and treated mo somehow as if I was to blame, that I did not daro say much to him. I thought ho blamed me for hurrying his proposal to you, and that your rejection stung him into proposing to Jennie. She really killed him, driving him about into society, to the city for tte winter, breaking up all his old habits and really overtaxing his strength. I warned her that his mother died of consumption, and that ho could not bear so much excitement, but ho would not heed mo either. He did not seem to care." "I can tell youl And ho is dead now. I lovod him long before lie married Jennie." "But why, then, did you refuse himl" "II I never refused him. lie never asked me to marry him." "Love him?" "I may love him again now that ho is dead," the young girl said, sadly. "Why, Bertha I Bertha 1" tho old lady cried, "you aro not grieving for poor Charlie!" Threo years lator, Jlrs. Ferguson calling upon Bertha English one morning surprised her sobbing over a photograph of Charles Barker, buried ono week beforo. She did not try to hide tho picture as the old lady canto up to kiss her, but put her head down upon tho broad breast, and sobbed still moro bitterly. "Oh, no, no! How can you show that to anybody!" "Oh, I am not ono of tho sensitive kind. 1 do lovo him, and I mean to try to make a man of him 1 Bliako him out of his dreamy ways, I mean, and put some life into him." ! "I hope you will be very happy," Bertha said, and endured her evening of martyrdom as best sho could. "Charles Barker! I did not know ho was one of your adorers." "Oh, yes, for quito a long time. Ho proposed to-day, and I accepted him. Shall I show you his letter J" But, sweet as she was, Bertha was proud, too. Only surprise was to be read in her voice. "Charles Barker,'* Jennie whispered, with a sidelong glance to see if tho shot told. 4iWho?" asked Bertha, lightly. "Remember, you have so many lovers, 'he' doesn't help mo one bit." "I am so happy I must tell somo one," Jennie Ralston panted, pulling Bertha to a sofa and cuddling close to her, like a baby. 4,Just think, dear, ho loves me!—ho loves me 1 And he has asked mo to bo his wife." Tho basket, duly delivered to Miss Jennie Ralston, was for tho first time thoroughly examined. Tea was over, and Bertha English was in her pretty drawing-room, alone, singing sweet melodies by twilight, hoping a littla that Charles Darker might call, when thera was a rush, a flutter- and she was caught in an embrace that dealt destruction to all her pretty ruffles and lac63. then attracted by their beauty, admired and petted tbem. i "Mary," Bhe said, "put on your hat and take this to old Mrs. Worth with my love. I had intended to out her some flowers today, but this Is prettier than I could arranged'Mary obeyed, and Bertha took up the thread of her musings. "Deary me!" old Mrs. Worth said, "Miss Bertha Is very kind. Thank her for me, Mary." • Then she, too, fell to admirlrfR tho flowers, until she suddenly remembered that it was her son's birthday. What could she give him that would delight him morn than these pretty floral trcasuresl She put her card aud a line, "With mother's love and birthday greeting," on the top of tho fra-, grant heap, and sent the basket to Mr.j John Worth's bachelor apartments. It was| late in the afternoon when that gentleman found his present, without the card, which had slipped off.

If there was nny one especial gift upon which Mrs. Ferguson prided horself, it was her talent for match-making. Her large, spacious house was full of cozy corners and tiny nooks, curtained, carpeted and daintily furnished, where a tctc-<i-tcte was a luxury not to bo despised. She had a positive genius for effacing herself and all other superfluous people when John and Juno wore to be brought to understand each other, and she was constantly oil tho watch for Johns and Janes to benefit It can not be donied that Willstown, like the proverbial republics, often proved ungrateful, tho wrong Johns being frequently being paired with the Janes of their special abhorrence, and it had been more than onco whispered by disappointed wooers that they "wished Mrs. Ferguson would mind her own business." j Havinsj made her discovery, Mrs. Ferguson noxt attacked the victim. How he shrank arid quivered when his cherished secret was dragged out and spread before him I could never describe; how every nerve shudderfed and recoiled as Mrs. Ferguson urged upon him the necessity of immediate action, can never be told. It was like tearing open the petals of amoss-rosobud, and then bidding it to bloom to full beauty as if it had bees suffered to softly unfold itself in the sunlight. I I "You must propose soon or ypu will lose j her," Mrs. Ferguson had declared. "Why, i she has a dozen adorers. Do you suppose i they will all shilly-shally as you do*" ] She worried and badgered him until he I actually wrote his proposal, which she un- ' dertook to deliver. It was (is unlike the courting of which ho had dreamed as moonrays to gaslight, but he did ask to have his j lcfve returned, and begged Bertha to bo hiswiie. Only instead ot "Bertha," being ( once started with a p,en in his hand, ho ,wrote "darling," and "dearest," and "my ' own sweet love." j Once possessed of this document Mrs. j Ferguson b'camo poetic, resolving that It j Vnr, i tiot be delivered in a cotiimon-placo i euve!- nr\ bur, as fcHi*ed such natures as that 1 uf a.;r. ■phov.-.la ;W*d#8owerp;'W}rifid ia rosea tt:id siaofeifrcAl i$ j It was not entirely tho fault of the pretty girls either, for Charles Barker was a man to whom women naturally incline, gentle, dreamy, poetic and exceptionally handsome. Had ho lived in the present rage for the aesthetic, ho might have been accused of affectations, of posing for admiration; but it was with him a sincere adoration of art, a dreaming poetic temperament, that could lift Itself out of tho commonplace surroundings of hiB life, and dwell in an ideal world apart. Wealthy, and not very strong physically, Charles Barker devoted his life to his books, his pen and his pencil, never attaining to tho highest excellence in poetry, music or painting, yet possessing talent abovo tho average amateurs. And into his dream-life there crept a reality that filled his heart and brain with new visions and hopes. Ho fell in love 1 Rather, ho softly, tenderly floated along upon tho music of a swoet voice, the light of a fair womanly beauty, till, scarcely conscious of his own infatuation, he gave to Bertha English the whole love of a heart as yet untouched by a woman's charms, i That sho was an heiress, wooed by others, tho gentle bello of more than 0110 sociui 'circle, did not trouble him for a moment, lie scarcely asked if she loved liirn, content 'to worship her. Thoroughly unpractical, full of visionary, ideal dreams, ho did not try to plan a future; seeking liis love in hor home when he was sure sho was alone, joining her in woodland rambles, tilling his portfolio with sketches of her face, and writing poems to her out of tho fullness of his heart. And therein ho erred, for Mrs. Ferguson, "clearing up his rubbish" one morning—a tusk sho never trusted to a servant—upset his portfolio and plunged into the vory heart of his secret. She was delighted! Bertha English would hare been her own choice 'rum all tho world of women, Sho had been so afraid that Jennie Ralston would succeed in her brazen-faced endeavors to captivate Charles that sho had fairljj trembled for him. It was true that ho seemed to bo serenely unconscious of that pretty, saucy damsel's eudeavprs to win him, but tin 'e were times when Mrs. Ferguson feared his own absent ways might draw him into some avowal that Ills sensitive honor would compel him to repeat. But tho moro persistently sho drovo him into her coziest nooks and corners with tho prettiest girls In Willstown, tho moro ho avoided her parties, bo they luncheons, teas or evening gatherings. "Poor Charles!'' his aunt would sigh, "ho is so shy, so reserved! He will never havo the courage to woo his wifo, and It is my positive duty to help him!" 1 It may thereto • bo imagined what a "thorn in the flesh' was to this scheming lady to have under ' -r own roof, daily at her table, a nephew v o, at the mature ago of twenty-eight, was, in spite of her ceaseless endeavors (I had almost written persecution) still a bachelor. , But nothing would ever convince that benevolent old la ly that if marriages wero started in Heaven, she was not a special agent upon earth ' - forward them. im I wkm VOL.
