TOO HANDSOME TO BE HOIftST.
"Blue is the flowrt called the forget-me-not;
"Wear it upon your heart d thiak
of m
Floweret and hope may die,
Yet love with us will fctaj,
That cannot pass away,
Dear one believe !"
Major Renshawe was galknt and
handsome, and looked every inch a Sol
dier, notwithstanding tho fact that he
sang s.ftly this little German love aoog
to a very pretty girl.
Lottie Fay .shook her cttrl head
doubtinly, and "turned away that Ke
uii'ht not see the tears in her eyes.-
Everybody had warne 1 her against
the dashing young officer, who had
been in town for a few wpeks drum
ming up recruits for the army. But
for all their warning", Lottie liked him
very, very mufth. alto-o'her she wat de
termined that ho should never kuow
it

trifle pale as ne buinra d the quaint Ut

he lifted hor shin fingers to his lips.
Will, lit'Je one," hefai , "this will
never do for me. I might stand here
forever, but I must nor. Guod-b)e,
g.od-bye. ! If the gray coat spare me,
1 shall st'e you a-'in sme d sy "
With that he sinned ha'f sadlv at
her downcast luce, and went stnUiujr
uwav in ihe ineotlight.
Oce he paused to 1. ok buck, kissing
his hif.d to thepir! whotood watching
rum. He caught the flutter of a white
handkerchief, and then went on, while
Lof ieapod up the path to her home.
Weary, weary months waited Lottie;
a ymr two yrars.
One July d;y, when all thu air Was
friirrant with 'be new mown hay, Lottie
wassiit:nif o-t in the porch picking
(iver raspberries for tea.
1 p the w.ilk came Aunt Hannah
presently. She had been making calls
in i he viil-ige. Sho sat down in the
doorway to rest, and fanned hen-elf vig
orously with her sh-ide h t.
"We 1, Ch-rlot e," she said, "it does
beat all how things come to pass."
"Why, Au'itie, what has C 'm to
pa no a- V quired Lo tie rather absent
ly, as fhe dislodged a woira from a par
ticular fine be:ry.
l,Why. you know," proceeded Auut
Hannah, with a slightly maliciouB em
phasis "I alius told you that thut air
fljor whas his name Hensaw "
"ReDsawe," corrected Lttie, lather
faintly, as she bent lower over herdirh
of raspberries.
"Well, Rensiwe. I alluasaid he was
too han'some to be honest, and I hain't
no faith in hia mooning around arter
you. 'Twasn't likely that a jiay, da-h-mgchap
of uch stle would lemember
a ei. untry girl two hours urter fche was
out of sight. And heic he i back in
town stopping at the tavern with hU
wife, for I was in Ruh Henderson'
sittiog room and seen them with my
own eves out on the pizzy, walking arm
in ami, her dress trailing a yard behind
her, and she smiling at him the sweet
est. Iiu'h says they c.ime last night.
You sec, now, how well 1 knew him.
In the evening, L -ttie, walking idly
up the road, I eard click of a hon-e's
hoo s behind her; S'ie stepped aside,
as she reeogniz d the rider Major
Fiank UeusJiawe !
Pooi Lotiie cltsped her hands and
watch d him eigerly, u: conscious thai
he had seen and recognized hor
H: re gned his hor.e and di-jmouut-ing,
walked dirfaeily toward her.
"Well, Lottie, how do you'do ?"
Thi- wos the. most commonplace of
grentin.s, and Lottie stammered rathor
incohirentiy.
'1 I thought you did uot see
me
He laughed.
"Well, I had an impression -that you
were close by. Come, haven't yon
aomcthiog to Fay to me after these loiig
years ? Do you not remember the old
day.i, 8weetheatt V
Lottie moved ou in a very dignified
way for so small a person.
Renshawe kept by h&r aide, looking
ai her With a comical mixture of astoB
meht and dismay.
"I remember nothing that it is a weak
ness to remember' she said inthe cold
est of voices.
But his quick glance had caught the
quiver of the of the sweetest motith in
the world, and so after a moment's si
lence, he said, with eager earele$nes:
"Oh, then you have decided to live a
life of si gle blessedness, like Aunt
Hannah, Decause of the sinfulness of
man
i
For her life Lottie could nt have re
pressed that little laugh, for ReDshan-es
diawl was inimitable.
"For shame, lit le one," he said fac
ing her suddenly, and f-rciog her to
lo k at him. "What do you m. an b
treating your o.sn true love in this
f.shion ?"
He was laughing at her. His bonny
blue eyes were full of repressed lun.
He caught her hand in his, and she
could not free it.
"For shame yourself, M'Jr Ren
shawe 1" she flahd out at l-ng'h, half
.ryim. "What right have you to
talk so to me '("
'The be.-t of all rights, my dear; I
iove you."
"I hate you," cried Lottie desperate
ly.
He was quite grave now, and said
lather sternly:
"Is th:it true, L ttie ? Do you ha'e
rue ? Then you shall tell me why."
Ltti" beiian t feel very much as if
she was the guilty party.
What businPi-s had he to look and
ta'k po whan hia wife was. a' that very
moment, pophapp, watclioji f r his re
turn ? Huff noble he looked ! Not
the loast bit like a villian, and yet he
had been m-'.k'ug love to htr, and he
was a married mn.
"Major Renshawe, I think that you
had better r turn to your wife."
"My wife!"
Frank Ren-hawe threw back his
head and burst into a cle-rv ringing,
meny lauyh, which woke the ec oe
about them, and swept tl e Ust cobweb
of distrust from 1 otfie'd mind.
He dropped his horse's bridle, and
let the animal wander away to nibble
it the grass, while he drew Lottie c 03e
t his heart.
I have no wifo, Lottip; but I have
drpamed many time in the last tw
year of a little grl whom I would like
for a wife, if i-he can forget that she 're
members nothing that is a weakness to
reaiembor.' -And if any one has o!d
her that the lady at the ho'el is my
wife, that peson has made a grand
mistake, fr the ldy is my sifter."
"You were a litt'e goose," he said
later, when Lottie told him how Aunt
Hannah had cautioned and surmise .
"irou were a little goose not to
know that 1 loved you to distraction
before 1 went awaj; but I did n it like
asking you to pledge yourself t mc
then, for, as a soldier, my fate was un
cei tain, ; ud there would be years of
dreat y waiting :
"Ah ! and co you think the yers of
waiting we'eoot the more dieiry b -cause
I did not know fyou caied foi

Forgive me, dear," he said. "In
trying 10 be unse!fi-h I emmitted the
very fault I endeavored to avoid. But
why did Aur.t Hannah dou' t m ?"
"Jhe . a V fa t3 ed Lot i ".hat yo .

another laugh. "Well, Lottie, in thit

you in any bit of treachery, I nhall At
once give your sweet face the credit of
