was among the bygones, a thing
again to he talked about, and offering
him her hand, she looked for an instant
earnestly*into his face, then without a
word, hurried from the room, while the
doctor, with a sad, heavy heart, went in
guest of Guy.
“ Refused you. did you say?” and Guy’s
face certainly looked brighter than It had
before since he left the doctor with
Maddy Clyde.
“ Yes, refused me, as I might have
known aha would.” was the doctor's re­
ply, spokep so naturally that Guy looked
. up quickty to ase if he really did not cars.
But the expression of the face belied
the calmness of the voice; and. touched
with genuine pity, Guy ask Mi the cause of
the refusal— ‘'preference for anyone else»
or what?”
“ No, there was no hue whom ahe pre­
ferred. She merely did not like me well
•enough to be my wife, that mas all.” the
: doctor said, and then he tried to talk of
something else; but It would opt do. The
wound eras yet too fresh and sorq to bo
covered up, and in spite of hlhtaeif the
bearded chin quivered agd the manly
voice shook as he bade good-by to Gay,
and then went galloping down the avenue.

Tw o years pass quickly, particularly at
school, and to Maddy Clyde, talking with
her companions of the coming holidays, it
hardly possible that two whole
re re gone since the eventful vaca­
tion when Dr. Holbrook had ao startled
her by offering her his hand. He eras in
ape still, and another name than bis
the little office in Mrs. Conner’s
yard. To Muddy he now wrote frequent­
ly ; friendly, familiar letters, such as a
brother might write, never referring to
the past, hut telling her whatever be
thought would late rest and please her.
Occasionally at first, snd mere frequently
afterward, he spoke of Margaret Ather-
stone, Lucy’s younger sister, s brilliant,
beautiful girl who reminded him, he said,
o f Maddy, only she was saucier, and more
o f s tease; not at ail like Lucy, whom he
described as something perfectly angelic.
Her twenty-fifth birthday found her on
s sick bed, with Dr* Holbrook in attend­
ance, end this was the reason given why
the marriage between herself snd Gay
was again deferred.
There had been
canny weeks of pain, succeeded by long,
weary mouths of languor, and during all
this time the doctor had been with her
as the family physician, while Margaret
■Iso had been constantly in attendance.
But Lucy was much better now.
She
could ait up all day, and even walk a lit­
tle distance, assisted by the doctor and
Margaret, whom name had come to be
almost as familiar to Maddy as was that
o f Lucy. Maddy did not say much to
Guy of Lucy, but ahe wondered why he
did sot go for her, and wanted to talk
with him about It, but be was so changed
that she dared not. He was not sociable,
as of old, and Agnes did not hesitate to
call him cross, while Jessie complained
that be never romped or played wtib her
now, but sat all day long in n deep rev­
erie of some kind.
On this account Maddy did not look
forward to the eomlag vacation as Joy­
fu lly aa ahe would otherwise have done.
Btill, It was always pleasant going home,
and she sat talking with her young friends
o f all they expected to do, when a servant
entered the room, and glancing over the
group of girls, singled Maddy out, aay-
lag, aa be placed an unsealed envelope
in her hand, “ A telegram for Miaa Clyde."
There waa a blur before Maddy’a eyes,
ba that at first she could not see clearly,
and Jessie, climbing on ths bench beside
her. rend aloud:
"Tour grandmother is dying. Come at
once. Agnes sad Jessie will stay till
next week.
GUY REM ING TO N.”
It was Impossible to go that afternoon,
but with the earliest dawn ahe was up,
and unmindful of tbs snow falling so rap­
idly. started on that sad Journey home.
It area the first genuine storm of the ara-
son. and it ssemsd resolved oa making

tion was reached, and Maddy, weary and
dispirited, stopped out upon the platform,
glancing anxiously around far tha usual
omnibus, which sbs bad Utils hop* would
ba there on such a night I f not, what
should ahe do? This had been the burden
of her thoughts for the last fow hours,
for ahe could not expect Guy to send out
hia horses in this fearful storm, muck leas
to ba there himself. But Guy was there,
and It was hia voice which first greeted
her aa ahe stood half Minded by the snow,
uncertain what she must do next
“ Ah, Mr. Remington, I didn’t expect
this. I am ao glad, and how kind it was
of you to wait for me!” ahe exclaimed,
her voice expressing her delight and amp­
ly repaying the young man, who had not
been very patient or happy through the
six long hours waiting he had endured.
But he was both happy and patient
now with Maddy’a hand in hia, and preen­
ing it very gently he led her into the la­
dies’ room; then making her alt down be­
fore the fire, be brushed her snowy gar­
ments himself, and dashing a few flakes
from her disordered hair, told her what
ahe so eagerly asked to know. Her grand­
mother had bad a paralytic stroke, and
the only word she bad uttered since .was
“ Maddy.” Guy had not been down him­
self, but bad sent Mrs. Noah aa aeon ae
Fanner Green had brought the nears. She
waa there yet, he said, the storm having
detained her.
“ And grandma?” Maddy gasped, fixing
her eyes wistfully on him. “ Sbs Is mat

No, Guy answoiad, and ask ad if he
should not restore from the. dainty little
feet resting on the stove hearth the Over­
shoes. so full of melting snow. Muddy
cared little for her shoes? or herself. Just
then. She hardly knew that Guy eras
taking them off, much leas that, aa he
bent beside her, her band lay lightly
upon his shoulder as she continued her
questionings.
“ She is not dead, you ssy; but do yon
think— does anybody think shall die?
Your telegram said ’dying.’ ”
Maddy was not to be deceived, snd
thinking it best to be .trank with her,
Guy told her that the physician, whom
he had taken pains to see on his way to
the depot, had said there waa no hope.
Old age and an impaired constitution pre­
cluded the possibility of recovery, but he
trusted she might live till the young lady
“ She must— she w ill! Oh,
by did I ever leave her?” sad burying
her face in her hands, Maddy cried pas­
sionately, while the last three years of
her life passed la rapid review before her
mind—years which she had spent in lux­
urious esse, leaving her grandmother to
toil in the humble cottage, and die at tbs
it might be, without one parting
word for her.
The feeling that perhaps she had been
guilty of neglect was the bitterest of nil,
and Maddy wept on. unmindful of Gay’s
attempts to soothe and quiet her. At
Inst, as she heard a clock, la the adjoin­
ing room strike eight, she started up, ex­
claiming, “ I bars stayed too long. I most
go now. Is there anj conveyance here?”
“ But, Muddy,” Guy rejoined “ yon can­
not go to-night. H ie roads between here
Honedale are one unbroken snow­
bank. It would take hours to break
through; besides, you are too tired. You
need rqyt, and must come with me to Aik­
enside, where’ yon are expected, for when
I found how late the train would be, I
sent back word to have your room and
parlors warmed, and a nice hot supper
to be ready for us. You’ll surely go
with me, if I think best.”
Guy’s manner waa piore like a lower
than a friend, bat Maddy was in no state
to remark it. She only felt an Intense
desire to go borne, and turning n deaf
ear to all he could urge, replied:
“ You don’t know how dear grandma
is to me* or you would not ask me to stay.
She’s all the mother I ever knew, and 1
most go. Would you stay if the ooe you
loved beat waa dying?”
“ But the one I love beet is .not dying,
no I can season dearly, Maddy.”
Here Guy checked himself, and listened
while Maddy asked again if tbsre was no
conveyaaca there as usual.
“ None but mine,” mid Guy, while Mad­
dy continued fain tly:
“ And you are afraid it will kill your
homes?"
“ No, it would only fatigue them great­
ly ; It’s for you 1 fear. You’ve borne
enough to-day.”
“ Then, Mr. Remingtoa, eh, please send
i. I shall die at Aikenside. John will
drive me, J know. He used to liks me.
I ’ll ask him,” and Maddy waa going in
quest of the Aikenside coachman, when
Gay held her back, and said :
John will go if I bid him. But you,’
Maddy, if I thought It was safe.”
It Is. Oh, let me go,” and Maddy
grasped both his hands beseechingly.
I f there was a man who could resist
ths eloquent appeal of Maddy’a eyes at
that moment, the man was not Guy Rem­
ington, and leaving her alone, be sought
out John, ssking if It would be possible
to get through to Honedale that night.
John shook his head decidedly, but
Guy explained Maddy*s distress and
anxiety, the negro began, to relent, par­
ticularly aa he a w hia young master, too,
waa interested.
“ It’ll kill them horses,” he said, “but
mabby that’s nothin’ to pleas* the girl.”
“ I f we only had runners now, instead
of wheels, John,” Guy mid, after a mo­
ment's reflection. “ Drive- back to Alken-
aide as fast as possible, and change the
carriage for a covered sleigh. Leave the
gray* at bom* and drive a pair of farm
