over a letter she had. just finished read

Ler letter was from Ronald Kerhaw cleerless
bngfc t, nandsome, brilliant Ronald who
would not love him?
And to think that out of all the gay ,
prettor, stylish young ladies in the little
village, he.had selected this little pure
tinted flower upon which to bestow his
time and attention through the short,
footing summer; and when he went
away he had pressed his lips tenderly,
reverently, to her white- hand , and whis
pered: "I will write yon a letter in Sep
tember, dear Lena!" -And
now September had come, and he
" had w ritten a long, long letter, full of
love and tenderness, and asking her, at
its close, to be his wife.
It neemed so strange, so unnsnal to
the poor, lonely little girl, that she could
scarcely btrlieve it. It could not be pos
sible that he loved her.' -
Why, Ronald was wealthy and tal-
' ented, and ohl so noble and handsome
a perfect "Prince in Fairy-land" he had
saemcd to her, and ' the was only the
daughter of a poor, hard-working me

- rejdy driving the dark clouds from her
life's horizon, and its tenderness and
rapture stealing down into her heart.
And only list night, down on the
moonlit veranda, Elmer Crawford had
whispered the same sweet story in her
ear, and, though she did not love him,
she had nlvwut whispered "yes;" for oh!
she was so weary of being poor; so tired
of this "shabby-genteel way of living!
She did so long for a beautiful home and
all the rare luxuries of life, and Elmer
, was rich he could give her all these.
So she had almost said "yes," when,
suddenly; something seemed to whisper,
. , "wait!" and the words had died on her
lips, and she bad promised to give him
his answer on Sunday.
And, now, she was just sure that it was
her "good angel" that had told her to
wait, for here was this letter from Ronald,
and she was so glad she had not said
"yes" to Elmer.

and she and her mother found them
selves almost penniless. Then, with the
quiet energy and self-will which she had
inherited from her father, Lena obtained
a situation in the factory, despite the op
position of her friends and her mother,
and entered her new field of labor, ail
unused to work as she was, with a cheer
ful heart and willing hands; for she told
herself, ss soon as Ronald received her
letter telling him of her loss, he would
come and urge a hasty wedding, and all
her trouble would be at an end. ;
.So alia worked away in the bright,
spring sunshine, waiting patiently, yet
engerly, for her expected letter from
Ronald. -: :.
Meanwhile, she could not help
acknowledging to herself that Elmer
Crawford was the best and kindest friend
sue had la the villager he had assisted
her ia obtaining her situation, and
shielded her by his quiet attentions and
care, froti the cruel insults of her ene

times he uvan came ia to spend an even
jag; tut he was so perfectly cool and

that ttlt'i grew to trust him, and feel a
sense ol security from insult and harm
when he (was at her side.
Three i'eeks passed, but Lena's letter
did not came; at least she was only sur
prised and t disappointed, but, as day fol
lowed dayV and still it came not, her
heart sank lower and lower, and lower,
hope died otat of her life. Returning
from the factory in the evenings, she
would enter S the posfioffice, slowly and

"Well," said her mother one evening.
when two months had passed away, "I
guess youH not receive a letter 'soon
from Ronald Kershaw! Read this, and
then I think you will wish you were not
a factory girl. I alwaya told you he
would not come back!"
Lena silently took the pWer from her
mother, and, with steady feyes, read the
marriage announcement oft Ronald Ker

a single motion to expresslthe great pain
she was suffering. . ; ..
"Where did yoi get this paper?" she

poor little heroine j
She arose in the morning, pale and
weary, but very calm and self-possessed
and went to her toil with a heavy heart,
but smiling lips. . i j
Elmer joined her at the gate and she
felt more than ever his considerate and
kind attention and care. She was sure
he must know her trouble, yet he care
fully avoided the subject. ; :
How she lived through the days that
followed she never knew; but at last she
settled down into a quiet calmness that
was worse than grief ; and so the days
passed slowly by, and summer came.
One evening she was Bitting in her
little parlor, alone in the twilight, when
Elmer entered and sat down beside
her. .. ., -I'-"--.
"Lena," he said gently,'' taking her
hand, "I cannot bear to see you work so
hard you are killing yourself, dear! O,
Lena, will you not give me the right to
take care of you? : I know you do not i
love me, but oh! darling. Iam willing '
to wait lor you love, if you will only let

In the silence which followed Lena
could almost hear the beating of her
heart. j j . .
Why should she not say yes? Ronald

to forget him, and be happy with Elmer?
She would have a beautiful home, a
noble, loving husband, and all the lux

Slowly, she reached out her hand and

It is true that every chicken in a
