RUTH'S JOURNAL.
Make the charred logs burn bri1itr.
I will show you by their blaze,
The half-forgotten reconl
Of by-gone things and days.
Bring here the ancient volume,
The clasp is old and worn.
The gold is dim and tarnished,
And the faded leaves are torn.
The dust is gathered on it
There are so few that care
To read what time ha written
Of joy and sorrow there.
December 1, 1800. I wonder if the
reality is ever equal to the. anticipation?
It has never been so with ine. For yeara
the thought of seeing Roger Sheldon
again has haunted me, aud often, in
imagination, my hands have touched his
again, and I have seen in his eyes the
look I know so well. But it is all over;
we have met and that is all. No, not all.
Am I disappointed in him? No, no, far
from that; he is grander, nobler than
when I saw him last. The change is in
me. I did not realize there was a change
till I went to the glass after he left mo
and tried to i'ook at myself impartially,
as with unfamilar eyes, les, it is a sad
Iv changed face that I see. not mu
cu
like the one he looked at long ago, when
I was a fair girl of 20. I know I was
i..ir then; I may say it now, while the
grave sedateness of middle age is coming
to me so fast, hurried on by the 10 years
that have passed since he saw me last.
They had been hard years for me.
After father's death, when we found our
money was gone, there was no one to
take care of mother and little Annie but
me. I have done the best I could. I
know they have been comfortable and
happy ,Jand even now I am not sorry that
I answered Roger's letter as I did. Let
me think; that was five years ago; he
wanted me to be his wife, he said, and
offered Annie a home with us; but I
could not help imagining that it was out
of pity ho asked me; besides, I did not
like to burden him; so without explain
ing my reason (I knew he would not
listen to me if I did), I told him it could
not be. Xo doubt my letter sounded
cold, though God knows there was any
thing but coldness in my heart. I kept
hoping ho would write agiin, but he
never did, I might have remembered
how proud he was. Still I have never
given up the hope of seeing him. It
has been the one thing to which I have
looked forward. So I was not much
Kurprised this afternoon, when Annie
came running up to my room in such
haste, to see his name on the card in her
hand. 1 knew he would come some
time. It was not until I was in his
presence and saw the look of surprise
that came over his face when he saw me,
that I realized how much I had changed.
He recovered himself in a moment, and
we talked like old friends, nothing more.
I suppose I should have been satisfied
with that; but, as I said at first, the
reality did not quite fulfill the anticipa
tion. Any way, my dream is ended, and
I must take up the burden of life again
this time with nothing before me to
brighten the prospect. But pshaw!
how foolish and wicked lam; I have
work to do, and 1 will not mourn over
what might have been.
December 14. The days glide away so
rapedly that I cau hardly find a moment
in which to fill these blank pages. Since
Roger has been here parties, sleigh-rides
and excursions to the city have followed
each otherso fast that we do not get rest
ed from one before another is proposed.
The neighbors seem determined to make
his visit a pleasant one. He was alwavs
a favorite, and these ten years, that have
taken so much from me, have but added
dignity and a quiet self-possf ssion to
him, which his lun-loviug boyhood
lacked! From many of these merry
makings I havo excused myself on the
plea of not having time. I find the old
trouble likely to reassert itself if I allow
it too much latitude. I did not look
longingly after the gay party that started
out this morning after evergreens with
which to decorate the house on Christ
mas. The weather is perfectly delight
ful for this time of year. It seems more
like Indian summer than anything else.
Roger and Annie brought up the rear, as
usual. How pretty the dear child looked
in the new cloak I sat up so late last
night to finish. I was well repaid for
the loss of a few hour's sleep when I saw
how pleased she was to find it done this
morning. She dearly loves pretty clothes
and she should have them.- What differ
ence would they make to a middle-aged
woman ? What ! tears again. I must
be getting childish. It is high time to
put up my pen.
December 20. I thought I had had '
trouble enough, and really felt as if I
could not endure any more, but I sup
pose I can. I have discovered that Annie
and Roger love each other. They have
not said so, it is true, but I can see it as
plainly as if they bad. I am a little sur
prised that Annie has not spoken of it to
me, for generally I am but the recipient
of all her confidence, but this, I suppose,
is different. At first I could not realize
that she was anything but a child; why,
ten years ago she was only a little girl
seven years old, and yet I was only sev
enteen when I loved Roger. I only hope
he may be more happy in her loving
than I have been. She is, at any rate,
very happy now and Roger seems con?
tented yes, and happy,' I think. I often
find him looking at mo with a sort of
pitying expression. I wonder if he does
not guess my secret. I try to control
myseii, out sometimes, wnen j. see tuem
starting off together, IV can hardly keep
back the tears. I fear I am getting ner
vous and cross, for Annie asked me only
yesterday if I wa3 not well, which, per
haps, was her gentle way of showing me
that I was not good-natured. Well, this
torture will not last much longer, for he
is only waiting to spend his Christmas
and New Year's at home. Ten days will
soon pass, I suppose; before he leaves he
will ask my consent to tak Annie away.
Heaven knows the old house is dreary
enough with her; what will it be without
her? .
December 24. Christmas eve has
passed. I keep too busy all day to think
much. Rhoda and I have worked as if
all the world were to diue with us to
morrow. "What a notable housekeeper,"
said Roger, as Annie brought him inro
the dining-room to see the great center
piece of fruits on the dining table, and
what she called "Ruth's noble array of
pies" upon the sideboard. Her work of
preparation, dear child, had been to
weave bright garlands of Christmas
greens and bright berries to decorate
our sober rooms. Roger helped her,
aud the work seemed well fitted for them
both. Their cheerful voices camo to me
across the hall as I, the maiden sister,
un romantically worked in jthe kitchen.
Lightly they chatted, and jsomolimes a
sound of happy laughter or a snatch of
song fell upon my ears, , mingling with
the droning tones of old Rhoda's com
plaining voice, as she gave' me an elabo
rate history of her battle with the rheu
matism. And this would j be the way
through life. Toetry aud Ipleapure for
them, loneliness and distasteful work
for me. Did they ever think of that?
Later, as the twilight brought a cessa
tion from labor for mej the silvery
sound of sleiffhbells camd nearer and
neared, and Gen. Atherly's black horses
pawed impatiently at the door while
their owner ran in to ask me to take a
! sleigh-ride and see the moonlight on the
lake not vet frozen over. I went with
delight. "I was so tired and nervous I
could hardly have sat the evening out
with the sight of Annie and her lover
torturing me yes, wicked that I am to
sav it. when her happineesi ought to be
my dearest thought. But whv, oh why,
could she not have loved some other
than him? I was glad, too', that Roger
nnnlil pa tli At I w not altogether
( slighted, and that even one as fastidious
as ueu. Atnerly sought my company,
When I came in, flushed and exhila
rated with the rapid motion and spark
ling winter air, Roger stood alone In the
library, caziner fixedly at the book
shelves.
"Alone I saui gayly; "anil growing
literary.-1
"No. he said quietly, "not very lit
erary, for I did nol even know that I
was looking at the books. I am waiting
for Annie; we are going to hear the
choir rehearse the Christmas anthem."
Then Annie caiue in. dressed for the
walk. j
"How pretty vou look Ruthie!'' she
said, running up to kiss my cheek, still
coltl from the outdoor air. j "lour eyes
glisten like stars, and you re so rosy and
bright that I am sure you enjoyed your
sleigh-ride.
Then I said lightly, (for I was so glad
of an opportunity to say it before
Roger) : "Yes, I have had a lovely time.
There s nothing l enjoy more than a
sleigh-ride."
"Behind Gen. Atherly's fine -horses
with the general for an esoort," added
Roger.
"Yes, of course," was. my laughing
reply.
Then they went off, Annie, as usual, in
the wildest spirits. ltoger quiet, but Tin
doubtedly as happy as she. How could
he be otherwise? Then I sat down at this
old secretary, which was my grand
father's, with my cloak still on, to write
these trivial records of my daily life
But even the written confidences to this
unresponsivo oook are a relief, it is
better than sitting lonely, watching the
strange and ghostly flicker of the fire
light on the walls, and tracing sad
tures in the glowing embers as they
from the great, half -burnt logs.
But there was not much' time for
pic
fall
rev-
erie; for before I had finished my writ
ing, they came back. The' rehearsal was
short, and it was not late, but Roger
a . - 1 ---
would not sit down again, j ie tooK my
hand to say good night; we were alone
for a moment. Annie had left the room,
probably the words he had said to her
on their homeward walk were so tender
and precious that she could not take
leave of him with even a sister's eye
upon tne parting, so she waits for him
in the hall.
"To-morrow will be Christmis," he
said, still holdidg my hand. "Will your
friends keep you so busy then that I
dare not claim a moment of your time? I
have somethinur to sav. Will vou come
to me in this room before your guests
have come to-morrow?" j
1 said yes, wheu he summoned me
I would come, and controlled my voice
so that I am sure not a tremor betrayed
what it cost me to keep so Calm, so cold.
when l unew. oh. so well, what was
wanted. He will ask me for Annie
uoes he think me stone.' Will no
thought of the past come to him when he
tells me. me, of his love' for another?
Was it thoughtlessness orwanton cruel
ty that prompted him to select the time
and place that witnessed j his first love
story, to tell me of his second. I am no
coward, but I almost doubt if I have the
strength to carry me through such an
interview. i
December 25. Annie went to church
this morning; I had said before that I
could not go out, and she: did not urge
me. I went into the library and watched
her from the window. Roger met her at
the gate. He will go with her, I thought;
but with a gay greeting she went on, and
he came into the house, into the library,
where I waited for him. I preferred to
be first in the room: it was easier than to
come in at his bidding. 1 I turned to
meet him. but in spite of my schooling I
was strongly agitated, and I sank into
the chair which he had quickly placed
for me.
"This is not the first Christmas day on
which you and I have met in this room,"
said he, with . no joy or triumph in his
tone, but rather a deep dejection in his
look and manner. j
Ha waited as if for an answer, but I
did not speak. What could I say?
I have another interview in my mem
ory," he continued, rather sadly,
"which belongs to a time long years ago
when I ventured to hope that you loved
me." i
"Why," I asked in my
"why does he torture me j by
those other days?" It was
thoughts,
recalling
not until
after long moments of
silence that I
could trust my tongue
thought voa had long ago
that."
"I cannot forget it,"
would I if I could," he con
to Hay: "I

he said, "nor
tinued. com-
ing close to me and seeking my eyes
which I had to keep averted or they
would havo betrayed rae. 'Do not think,
Ruth,'' he continued humbly, "that I
ever thought myself worthy of you or
your love. Ever since I could rmem
ber you had been my ideal of all that
was beautiful, and my love grew for you
with my growth. I hoped, when. I had
made myself more nearly your equal,
that you might love me in return, and in
this very room my tongue broke through
the bonds I had set upon it, and I told
you in wild words of love that would
never die; but I did not ask you then to
give me hope, for 1 knew I had spoken
prematurely; Then I went away, hop
ing to make my fortune more worthy of
your sharing. At first disappointments
came to me; but when I heard of your
father's death and your Iobs of property
I conld keep silent no longer, and wrote
the letter asking you to be my wife.
Your answer, though kind, showed me
how presumptuous I had been. I am a
proud man, Ruth, and I resolved you
should never know how I was hurt, so I
wrote a letter as cold as yours, but I did
not send it home power seemed to pre
vent. I never intended returning, but I
could not resist the desire to see you
once more. When I came to the door
and Annie opened it I could almost have
imagined it was you. I think she must
have considered me a strange acting
person; for, knowing I was so near you
bad a great effect unon me. When I
heard the rustle of vour dress. that after-
noon, and looked up and saw you beforo
me, so little changed in appearance
only, if possible, mora beautiful -I
-at - a .
could hardly speak; but you were as
self-possessed and friendlv as if I had
left only the day before. I acknowledge
1 was terribly disappointed. I hardly
knew that I had dared hope. Still, I le-
solved to wait a few days and see if I
could change your opinion of me, and
seeing Annie every day has helped me
wonderfully. She is such a dear, kind
girl, that no one can help loving her.
When I would be most despondent, she
always had something encouraging to
say. I must leave to-morrow, and
Ruth, I could not go without telling
you"
"1 know what you would say, 1 in
terrupted, for I felt that I could not en
dure hearing any more, and must mjke
the interview short if I wished to con
trol myself. "Take her! she is worthy
of even you, but what can I do without
her?" And then the tears would come.
Roger bending over mo took my hands
away from my eyes and said:
"What do you mean, Ruth? Who is it
you are giving to me?"
"Why, Annie, of course," I said. "I
have known all along that, however
much you may have loved me once, you
love her now.
"Yes, as a dear younger sister, I do,
but for a wife I want my first, my only
love yon !
I could hardlv believe mv ear3 had
my trouble been only borrowed trouble
after all? Then I thought of Anuie. If
she loved him, I must give him up even
then. I was just telling him so, when
the door opened and a merry voice said:
"Oh, you dear old goosie, did you
think I wanted him for myself? What
would I do with a husband? Especially
with such a grave one as Sir Roger?"
Then she danced away again, and a min
ute after I saw her romping with the
children, the merriest one among them
she is a child after all.
After a while Roger said: "So you
were a little jealous of Annie, were you?
We are even, theu, for l must confess I
felt anything but kindly toward Gen.
Atherly. It was only Annie's repeated
assurances gave me one more trial to win
your love,
Aud so through these dreary weeks
happiness has been knocking at my door
and I never knew it. Oh, this merry,
merry Christmas day! will lite ever
look dark to me again, now that Roger
has come back to me. tender and true
and faithful through all these dreary
years? tlow could 1 do him such injus
tice as I have? but never again will I
doubt him; my 'trust shall ba as
perfect as my love.
Our dinner was a merrymaking to the
aunts and the uncles and the. gay young
cousins, but to me, with my new found
happiness hidden in my heart, it was
like a dream. I heard, and yet I did not
hear, the cray conversation carried ou at
the table and the compliments upon mv
housewifely skill that were given as freely
as the viands were diseusseJ,
Roger hal not been invited, as noue
but relatives were invited to the family
dinaer. But Annie had secured a whis
pered conference with him as she let him
out, while I was receiving the guests,
and betwoen them they concocted a little
plan which was a revelation to the aunts,
who, in their minds, had long destined
me to a life of single blessedness. I sat
at one end of the table. Annie at the
other. Rhoda had brought in the great
Christmas pudding and placed it in front
of uncle John to supplant the giant tur
key his skill in carving had conquered,
and in the excitement of the children at
the lighting of the brandy, with which
it was saturated, Annie skipped unper-
ceived from the table, returning with
Roger, whose unexpected knock at the
door she was waiting for, and ceremoni
ously installing him in her seat, she
crowded in with tho little cousins.
There were no explanations needed;
the look that Roger gave me, he all un
abashed, though I at first felt some dis
may at such sudden publicity, told all.
even if Annie's nods and whisders had
not confirmed it.
