She placed Lucy’s letter in bis band,
and Gay read It. with a heart which ached
te its very core. It was cruel to deceive

ly o f him, bat to lose Maddy was to his
undisciplined nature more dreadful still,

spair, for be read his fate in Middy’ s
face, and when her lips a second time
confirmed her first reply, while she ap­
pealed to bis eense of honor, of justice, of
right, and told him he could and must for­
get her. he knew there was no hope, and,
man though he was, bowed his head upon
Maddy'* hands and wept atormily. mighty,
choking sobs, which shook his frame, and
seemed to break up the very fountains
e f his life. Then to Maddy there came
a terrible temptation. Was it right for
two who loved as they did to live their
lives apart)— right in her to force on Guy
the fulfillment of vows he coaid not lit­
erally keep? As mental struggles are al­
ways the more severe, so Maddy'a took all
her strength away, and for many min­
utes she lay so white and still that Guy
rousad himself to care for bar, thinking
o f nothing except to make her better.
It was a long time ere that interview
ended, hut when .it did there was on Mad­
dy'a face a peaceful expression which
only the sense of having done right at the
cost of a fearful sacrifice could give, while
Guy’s bore traces of a great and crush­
ing sorrow as he went out from Maddy'a
presence and felt (hat to him she was loot
forever. He had promised her he would
do right; had said he would marry Lucy,
being to her what a husband should be;
had listened while she talked o f another
world where they neither marry nor are
given hi marriage, and where It would
not be sinful for them to love each other,
and as she talked her face had shone like
the face of an angel.
* For many days after that Gay kept his
roam, saying he was sick, and refusing
to see anyone save Jessie and Mrs. Noah,
the latter o f whom guessed In part what
had happened, and Imputing to him far
more credit than he deserved, petted and
pitied and cared for him until he grew
weary o f it, and said to her savagely:
“ You needn’t think me so good, for I am
not. I wanted Maddy Clyde, and told her
so, bat she refused me and made me prom­
ts » to marry Lu cy; so I'm going to do
that very thing—going te England in a
few weeks, or as soon as Maddy is bet­
ter. and before the sun o f this year sets
I »Kail Ke a married man.”
p 'After this all Mrs. Noah’s sympathy
was in favor of Maddy, the good lady
making more than one pilgrimage to
Honedale, where she expended all her ar­
guments trying to make Maddy revoke
her decision; bat Maddy was firm in
what she deemed right, and as her health
began slowly to improve, and there was
no longer an excuse for Guy to tarry, he
gave oat in the neighborhood that he was
at last to bs married, and started for
England tbe latter part of October, as
unhappy and unwilling a bridegroom, it
he, as aver went after s bride.

CHAPTER X X I
Maddy never knew how she lived
through those bright, autumnal
days,
when the gorgeous beauty o f decaying
nature seemed so cruelly to mock her an­
guish. A t last there came to her three
letters, one from Lucy, one from the doc­
tor, and one from Guy himself. Lucy’s
she opened first, reading of the sweet
girl’ s great happiness in seeing her darl­
ing hoy again, of her sorrow to find hin^.
¿o thin and pale, and changed In all save
bis extreme kindness to her, his careful
study of her wants, and evident anxiety
to please her in every respect. On this
Lncy dwelt until Maddy’s heart seemed
to leap np and almost turn over In Its
easing, so fiercely it throbbed and ached
with anguish.
The doctor’s next was opened, and
Maddy read with blinding tears that
which for a moment increased her pain
and sent to her bleeding heart an added
pang o f disappointment, or a sense of
wrong done to her, she could not tell
which. I>r. Holbrook Was to be married
the same day with Lucy, and to Lucy’s
sister, Margaret.
“ Maggie, I call her," be wrote, “ be­
cause that name is ao much like my first
love, Maddy, who thought I was too old
to be bar husband, and so made me very
wretched for a time, until I met and knew
Margaret Atberstone. I have told her
o f yon, Maddy; I would not marry her
without, and »he seems willing to tnke
me ss I sm. We shall come home with
Chiy, who la tbe mere wreck of what be
waa when I last saw him. He ha* told
me, Maddy, all about it, and though I
doubly respect you now, I cannot any
that I think you did quite right. Better
that one should suffer than two, and
Lucy’s is a nature which will forget far
sooner than yours or Guy’s I pity you
all.”
This almost killed Maddy; she did not
love tbs doctor, but the knowledge that
bs was to marry another added to her
misery, while what be said of her decis­
ion was the climax of the whole. Had
bar sacrifice been for nothing? Would it
have been better If she had not sent
Ouy away? It was anguish unspeakable
to believe so, and the shadowy woods
never echoed to ao bitter a cry of pain as
that with which aba laid her bead ea the
ground, and for a brief moment wished
that she m i g h t / I s ,,
There was Guy’s letter yet to read, and

It waa the knowing how pore and good

Then he wrote of the doctor sad Mar­
garet, whom he described aa a dsshii__
brilliant girl, tbe veriest tsaas and Madcap
in the world, and the exact opposite of
This letter, so calm, ao cheerful In Its
tone, had a quieting effect on Maddy,-who
read it twice, and then placing it in her
b°to«n. started for the cottage, meeting on
the way with Flora, who was seeking for
her in great alarm. Uncle Joseph had
had a fit, she said, and fallen upon the
floor, cutting his forehead badly against
the sharp point o f the stove. Hurrying
an, Maddy found that what Flora had
said waa true, and sent immediately for
the physician, who came at ones but
shook his head doubtfully aa he examined
his patient. There were all the symp­
toms o f fever, ha said, bidding Maddy
prepare for the worst. Nothing in the
form o f trouble could particularly affect
Maddy now, and perhaps it eras wisely
ordered that Uncle Joeeph’e illness should
take her thoughts from herself. From the
very first he refused to take his medicine»
from anyone mve her or Jessie, whs
with her mother’s permission, stayed alto­
gether at the cottage, and who, as Guy’s
sister, was a great comfort to Maddy.
As the fever increased, and Unlle Jo­
seph grew more and more delirious, his
cries for Sarah wera heart-reading, mak­
ing Jessie weep bitterly as she said to
Maddy:
“ I f I knew where this Sarah was I ’d
go miles on foot to find bar and bring
her to him.”
Something like this Jessie said to her
mother when she went far n day to Aik-
enside, asking her in conclusion i f she
thought Sarah would go.
“ Perhaps," and Agnes brushed abstract­
edly her long, flowing hair, winding it
around her jeweled fingers, and then let­
ting the soft curls fall across her' snowy
arms.
“ Where do you suppose she is?” was
Jessie’s next question; but if Agnes knew
she did not answer, except by reminding
her little daughter that it was past bar
bedtime.
The next morning Agnes’ eyas were
very red, as if she. had been wakeful the
entire night, while her white face folly
warranted the headache she professed to
have.
“ Jessie,” she mid, as they aat together
at their breakfast, “ I am going to Hone-
dale to-day, going to see Maddy, and shall
leas* yon here.”
*
Agnes was not the same woman Whom
we first knew. A ll hope o f the doctor had
long since been given up, and ss Jessie
grew older the mother nature was strong­
er within her, subduing her selfishness,
and making her far more gentle and con­
siderate for others than she had been be­
fore.
T o Maddy she was exceedingly
kind, and never more so in manner than
now, when they sat together talking in
the humble kitchen at the cottage.
“ You look tired and sick," she said.
“ Your cares have been too much for ope
not yet strong. I will sit by him till he
wakes, and yon go to bed.”
*
Very gladly Maddy accepted the offered
relief, and utterly worn out with her con­
stant vigils/ she was soon sleeping sound­
ly in her own room, while Flora,.in the
little shed, or back room of tbe house,
was busy with her ironing. Tipis there
was none to follow Agnes ss M , went
slowly into the sick room where Uncle
Joseph lay, his thin face upturned to the
light and his lips occasionally moving as
he mattered in his sleep. There was a
strange contrast between that wasted im­
becile and ■ that proud, queenly women,
bnt she could remember s time when in
her childish estimation be was the embodi­
ment of every manly beauty, and the
knowledge that he loved her, his sister’s
little hired girl, filled her with pride and
vanity. A great change had come to them
both since thoee days, and Agnes, watch­
ing him and smothering back the pain
which arose to her lips at sight o f him.
felt that for the fearfnl change in him
she was answerable. Intellectual, talent­
ed, admired and sought by all he had
been once; he waa a mere wreck now, and
Agnes’ breath came in short, quick gasps,
ss glancing furtively around to see that
no one was near, she laid her hand upon
his forehead, and parting his thin hair,
said, pityingly: "Poor Joseph.”
The touch awoke him, and starting op
be stared wildly at her, while some mem­
ory of tbe pest seemed to be struggling
through the misty clouds, obscuring bis
mental vision.
“ Who are you, lady? Who, with ere#
sod hair like hers?”
“ I ’ m the ‘ madam’ from Aikensidv,"
Agnes said, quits loudly, ss Flora pdssed
the door. Then when she was gone she
added, softly: “ I ’m Harsh— Sarah Agnes
Morris.”

upon hi* face, the smile of perfect happi­
ness breaking through the rain of tears,

trust, which that look betokened as he
continued gating at her, but said to her
not a word. Again her hand rested on. his
forehead, and taking it now in his he held
it to the light, laughing insanely at Its
soft whiteness; then touching tbe costly
diamonds which flashed upon him the
rainbow hues, he said: "W here’s that lit­
tle ring I bought for yqp?”
She had «ntiripated title, and took from
her pocket a plain gold ring, kept anti!
that day where no one could find It, and
bolding it up to him, said: “ Hers it Is.
