Continued from pace three briefest, but from that day to this the dream of a young girl has been with me. I have not seen blm for years. 1 may never see him again. It was the part of a girl just coming to woman hood so suddenly and uninvited to sur render to a mun; but, having done so, I have never since been able to break the bonds that have held me to blm.

I raised the sash and listened to what be said. Pointing to two young men on the ramparts, be told me that they would furnish blm with the weans to enable blm to make a mark in the world if I would give hint a kiss," She paused a moment,, then contin ued: "I shall never forget that young and enthusiastic face, full of eagerness; the Intellectual cast of bead, the" 'Tom hare forgotten!" exclaimed the general, starting up. "It is I who have been true to my dream. Yours has passed Into mockery. It is the man who Is true, the woman who wor ships a fancy that has faded." "You are" "The man you kissed. Thank heav en, who bus guided me to yon, to thank you for that favor. To it, to you, is due all that I am today. With out it I should have remained here, thankful for an occasional crumb drop ped by some patronising noble. By it I have received the confidence of a king.". He was standing when he said this, and she, too, arose, peering into bis face o if to recall an image she had long held in memory. "Yes," she said presently. "It la the bead, but the features are ranch changed. . I did not recognise in the ftinn of today the youth of yesterday. But I, too, have changed. After all your boasted constancy you bare not recognised me."
