It un the day uflor tho funural, an J Dr. Ortj cum.) Iii to hco me. lie Lad callod at the hotiHO every day for six years, anil habit waa Btrong. But when tftor a little conversation nion the weather, a few inquiries about my lu aUli, and a hit of DftlghNirliood down, he fluMcuy aMkuil mo to bo hin ivifo I was too sur Iriod to auawer. At last I managed to ahl what in the world ho win ted to marry me for. "Chiefly, Margaret, because I love you, and Locanpe I Lave thought that if you do not al ready, you might love me; you aro free now." ; "That's it exactly. I am free, and for the firot limo iu my lifo, and you want to put iuo in honde again." "No, I don't I promino you that you should have all tho freedom you want, and that I would tako tho tonderest earo of you." ! d:m't want to ho takon earo of. Auut Jane B.ii.l tljn liad Ui.i'U cro of mo s!l my life, and at tin) !a:d moment nho wondered what I would do when hhe wis gono for some one to look after mo. I've never had a moment of abso lute and ei.tiio freedom all my lifo. I don't want to (x.uplain, aud probably I should do rijclit over n;jain what I have done, but becauso in tho early yearn oliedionce to authority mado it necessary, aud in later years becauso of an undne scnsH of gratitude, and tender regard for a r-ii-k wouitin's feelingH, I Laro been as much in loiuls as the veriest slave. I've gone bed when I wanted to sit up, and risen when I wanted t eileep, have eaten when I wasn't hun gry tho dishes that I didn't like, bavo diessod tnyHclf in colors I detested, read aloud till I was hoarso from Baxter's Call when a dimo novel wiyild havo been a relief, Hung when I wanted to cry, all for tho sake of a woman who lovod mo, but whoso love was tyranny. "And you think I'd do tho saino!" "I don't know, perhaps not : You're Under and kind, I know; but I want to bo free; I want to do Just as I ploaso a whil. Now if I married you I should foci that some slight re gard for your opinions and wishes would not unreaHonalily bo expected of mo, and I tell you that I ain determined to consider myself, Mar garet Sinclair, aud her wishes and opinions first, for a while at least. In short, doar Dr. Gray, I am going to try and realizo that I am free."" ; "And wh&t, may I ask, do you propoo to do with this freedom?" "I don't just know mj-nelf. It in said, and truly, that a race enslaved has to learn to u.ie its freedom; so with me. I havo not decided, aud in tho vorv fact that I am free to decide as I wish lies a charm. Perhaps 'twould interest you to know that I took my breakfast in bed this morning, and that I ordered just what I wanted, and delighted Susan with the excel lence of my appetite. Then 1 put on tho dress I liked best, and even this evening have worn those red roses at my throat Lo yon know, Dr. Gray, lhat I have not worn a rose for rive long year? You smilo, and I know it teems a little thing to you." "You are wrong; it does not eeem a little thing. I am glad to see you with tho roses; they are made for you, Margaret; I under stand mid appreciate what your lifo has been; I know what demands Lave been made npon you, nd how bravely you have met them." "Xo, I have not met them bravely; I've se cretly rebelled all the time; aehamed to take praise that I don't deserve." "Never mind, it is over now, and I am glad; though, to tell you the truth, dear, I think that while you needed this discipline, it etaid wit'.i j-ou. and now it "may ba Ui-t you need something diUereiit ; tliat too will come." "I don't be!ievo that exactly. It seems to mo thing I've not had have been the very things I've needed most Do you know that a great wonder roniea over mo noinetimes as to what sort of a womau I would liave been under dif ferent cii-cMnstanccs. I try to impgino myself how I would have looked aud acted and felt" "I know it's old-fahionod nowadays to talt of discipline, and to belicvo tht '.ye aie led in ways that "co now not of, for a purpose, but I do 'heliuve it; and when I see you or anyone sot in placed not of your own seeking', and from which yon cannoi in honor or reason get away, I think that there is a moaning in it be yond our reading. Time may make it clear; if not time, then eternity; I iio not believe that it pas foleiy to make your aunt comfortable and contented though i-he was really neitir that you have been kept by her side'so lorfjy" "Very well, there ought to bo some compen satfon, and perhaps my diseixdica is what makes me so 'sweet.' Truly Dr. Gray, I heard Misa Smith eay that ni:o, meaning mo, was 'just as sweet as she could lie,' and l'vo had no ambition to be clcsced with tho saccharine order of women. Do yon withdraw 3'our pro posal, sir, upon hearing that'?3 "No, mv proposal remains ;'.but can't you withdraw the 'No'" "I cannot I'vo'hcd discipline enough, you saidt what should 1 m:trry yon for?" ".May be I need discipline"." "Seo'k it elsewhere, -thou; I'm not to be in veigled out of my freedom vet" "By and by, then;-" "Dr. Grav, you remember Lawrence Hml bnrtV" "Yes." - " I was engigod to him ouco, and I loved him, and I'm afraid I have not quite ceased to love him." "If he couio-'j back to'vou now that you are fnev" "Then I shall know." "And yon will tell me; no, you will not, for I fhall not neerl telling; I shall know." Then we walked dawn the long path to the gate. I gathered a handful of the choicost flowers fr him; but as wo parted he touched the rue at mv throat and said "Give 1140 this." and I "did. W'o leaned on the gato in quite' the "asliion of your.g people, so I said to him, at rl;i;!i he fuciihed, then he asked, "How old are you?" And I answered him unhesitatingly and as ri.ui'.ly as if ha bad asked my Christian name, hupi.-o.sing he did not know it already. "I am thirty-oue , years old, Dr. Gray; to J old, I know, to feel as absurdly yonng as I do. You me 1 don't fcei as if I'd really lived any yet, Mid I want to live a fidl life." "God grant ' you may," and then arid" here in the gathering twilight ho loaned over aud kissed me, and in a minute moro he was gone. 1 hen I went into the house and sat down and thought about it It had never crossed my mind that Dr. Gray cared for me. He had loeu my aunt's physician for six years. His coming was part of tho plan of every day. I had had no time in these last years to think of l.ivcrs. - Tho ono lover of my youth had left mo becauso I would not leava the woman who had eared for mo through the vrars wbu.i tio ono elne cared for me, for him. That shi was helpless and stricken was not to him a ftaliicient reason. So he went his way. And I kept him in my heart, and when after long while the sharp pain left me, still the ten- tiernr-HH roniaineu, anu. elf I io iked and hope! iiuoui saying 11 10 my that ho would come bark to mo. I'robuMv had my life been different, I should l-ing Uifore have p'ut him out of my thoughts. As 1 S lid. I felt that my lifoj lay yet before me. To the young gii Is who knew ino I sup pi 8. I was oldjjiit in spite of the cares that I had known, in srit'' of the emptiness of the years, I could not rid myself of tho feeling that I was young. Perhaps it was becauso of this very "einp'ti. iess that I felt eo; no one has a right to feel old who has not lived a real true lilt, and I felt that I had not The years alone do not count. It is what fiila tho years. I wondered as I sat thinking about it all if 1 were 1 ea!ly hearties. I conld not help know ing that the woman who was sleeping that night under tho Mowers that tender friendship had litd upon her grave, had really been ofter hard and " unsympathetic and tyrannicaL I eouid not helpVnowiug that my life would bo freer and gladder and better now that she was freed from her Bufferings. But there was no touch of hardness in my thoughts of her. She was dead, paes.nl beyond tho ills and burdens ( the body, and I was wise enough to know tnat manv times these had msdo hor spirit th8 woak nnbeantifnl thing it was. I was gl-id and gratoful for all that hho bad done for me ; I forgavo her for what she bad failed to do. Tho old place wss mino. A dear old place it va. An old brown house, with miny porches and verandis, over which grape vines and houev-hiick'u-s trailed their grace and giory. An oid-f jsl.ioned tfowor-garden. where sweet will ams and marigolds and larkf-pnr barely LeH their ground against heliotrope ai.d p .nsy nd dog-lilies. Aa I lookod out upon it all the next, morning, and saw tho sweetness aud beauty of it all, I was glad just aa if It were all seen for tho first time. I had trulv in me the "npirit of nnweiried youth. The" bees honey-laden hummed hi. hor and thitli tr. th linrtorflr. ton tiff of the towers, like a winged blossom of purple, ard gold, fluttered xne luingieu ouor 01 roeq r .Every i-enH was ministered to, and 1 waa man. and glad too that the aweetucaa and beau ty could so thrill aud delight me. I had gotten more out of stinted life titan cianv git from the world that lies at their foet I decided to go to California. I Lad never been anywhere, hardly oul of my native atate. I had money eunuch for my ne.Mbi, enough to make it possible for me to gratify my 'reasonable tauten and inclination, and not enough to 1111 me with busineaa care and anxieties. I found that noma acquaintances of mina from a neighboring town had some friends who were going, and after a amall amount of inquiries and exrhaiigo of reference, we de cided that a journey together might bo mu tually j leasaiit. Mrs". Davidson prouiiaodjto "aee to me" as nho expressed it, and hor husband promised all sorts of kindneaa, and their daughter. Miss llessie, who was ten yeara younger and twenty years wiser in all the ways of the world than I, proftjriBed herself de lighted. It si-iimn tome that tho chief disadvantage arising f rojn having all one wishes travel, bx.lt-, friends, and the thousand and one things that we want or grow to want ta that tho very abundance, th! verv gratification dulN the cd'i of our ple iHiiro. It U in obedience to the great law. W cannot have the. apple ex ccpt the apple blossom pcrinli, nor the rose sv.; by the Hlay:iur of thobnd; I don't suppose that over again vo-Ud it be possible for me to feel the keen d -li-ht that I felt in the first long journey. Everything, from my traveling suit to the august porter, brought me pleasure. Mina Bessie read ; what timo she was rot readint; she criticised tho passengers in a amall, weak, iudisiriiniiiating fashion. Her father and mother, having taken the trip before, found nothing so entei taining aa the lunch trinket, and napping. In a most democratic and stocking faahion I made acquaintances and even friends. The man or woman who fails to do this In traveling is thereby much the loser. There is hipvily no monopoly of information or wisdom in this world, and the veriest little child may have something that we have not, and who, from any fancied notion of dignity, fails to ac cept tho good that comes, wakes a mistake. And what a curious medley of people can be gatherad in ono first-claas California-bound car. I found the mau who had traveled every where, and who was continually telling ef what be saw in Paris or Iiondon, or en the Alps. The Ruiallod-iouled American who secretly de spised everything of America, and didn't quite dare to say po. And the statistical travelor who kept his K'lide-book in his hand, and who told tho length and depth of verv river, and the height of evert- mountain. Tno woman who always collected specimens and relics, and that other who talked about "perspective" and "light and shade" arid "effects of color" in a parrot-like fashion. It was when we were crossing the plains, the great, wido. weird plains, the dreary grav plains, that inspire one with a wonder as" to what they have of or for tho world so ghost-liko and anomalous ars they in their separation from it that the true chnracter of tho traveler comes to the snrface.

We had these all ou board, besides others not so easily classified. The long," long iourney was accomplished at last, aud we found ourselves in that strange, fascinating city of 'San Francisco. I enjoyed everything so much thit to snch traveled peo- Flo as tie Davidsons I was quite a marveL Mr. vidson. however, declared that it was a do lighfful thin" to see a woman who had not ex hausted all the pleMuras of liaipg, and he was a most patient and painstaking eeort npon all occasions. And right In tho m !4st of our pleasuring Bessie Davidson was stricken with fever. She had rover lieen seriously ill hi her life; she bud been everywhere, inhaled all sorts of evil odors and malaria, climbed mountains, ridden str.mge bursas over distracting! v precipitous T-aths, and no evil had befallen her, but right hero, and for no good cause or provocation that we cor.ld poo. she was sick. Mrs. Davidson wns an admirable woman, and in seasons of health a very excellent com panion, but in a sick-room she was a failure. Sho was ono of those women made for fair weather only, not to be called tipon in case of storms. Nurses there were plenty to be hired, but Bossie in her own little mind had decided that she didn't like nurses of that order, and with a flattery which was in tended t; compensate for the selfishness, she elected me to take care of her. Xo one else had so soft a hand or so mag netic a touch, no one else knew just how to five the medicines, no ono else could keep ti!l without making a noise about it, she aaid. Tho "1octrir said since she eo much wished it, it would 1)0 beet for her to have me with her. It was the inherent contrariness ef all things. I had resolutely pet about being free, and I found stumbling blocks set In my way almost the Ci st thing. Of course I could have said that my own heal tl). pleasure and all that would suffer by resigning my plans, but I didn't say it I established myself acting manager tn the sick-room, and for six weeks watched and cared for the sick girl Tart of the time she was very sick, but finally she began to mend, and the great nameless "dread gave place, to joy at the prospect of her recovery. When very ill she was ouiet and amiable, when she was gaining, and had reached the "toast aad tea" stage, she was as exacting and fretful as it waa possible for women to be. Had I been a hired nnree I would have left her, but for love's sake I was with her, and for that I endured. And they had all been so good to me. and were so grateful to me now. And then Bessio would put her arms around my rreek and kiss mo and eall me a darling, and beg me not to mind a word she said. I ha.l done much serving without kiss or caress when I longed for both, and I enjoyed the pet ting she gave me and forgot everything else. She was a sweet shallow woman, amiable and good in a negative sort of fashion. Very correct and conventional, and it must ba ad mitted a trifle tiresome at rimes. I felt in looking at her that I could have been made into half a dozen snch women as ebe. and had poroething left- over besides. I wondered how anybody with the whole world to choose her own from did not find more w'aerewith to fill and glorlfv lifo, forgetting that a pint enp can only hold the measure full. Thc-n when she was sr.friciently recovered we resumed our journeying, visiting the nlaces of interest down on the books of all tourists. Of all who gaze on the wonders of canon, of falls, of mountain and sky, each one gathers into his life something different from the other, each after his kind Bessie tried to bring away the glories of Yosemite, its divine waterfall, its eternal rocks, its wells of granite, its oaks and pines, and shivering poplar trees, its domes and peaks and pinnacles 0:1 a little piece of canvas thirty inches square, and she wis in her own mind persuaded that sho had succeeded. We went home by steamer. Then came my davs of wretchedness. Not many of them it is triie. but enough to make me say very fer vently my prayer for those who go down to the sea in'slnps." Again, in perfect harmony with the inherent contrariness of all things in wlu'-h I have a band, Bessie was not sick. She was in passive enioyment of the splendors of sea and skv, and in active en joyment of a flirt ation with "the handeomeM and most intellectual gentleman she had ever met If there was anything that would shake her eoul toils foundations it ?;sis the prosjvwct of an uninter rupted flirtation, ""and here it was. Her views of ti e subject of beautv and intellect differing somewhat from mine, fdid notplaoe great con fidence in her statement But the oemon re leased nie after we were a few days out, and I . cared once mot e for the things of this lifo, a regard for which had been totally and entirely destroyed while in the grasp of the fiend of the sea. 1 had a little desire to look well in the eves of this paragon of Bessie's, lust why I could not say, but I made myself look as well as tho rigors of a sea toilet will permit " and had the satisfaction of seeing thai I reallv looked verv little worse for my illness. I believe I have" not stated that I was what people call a'most lieautifuL If it hadn't been for a nose of too aspiring tendencies I should have been decidedly so. But that member reso lutely forbade niv'indulging in vanity, and in truth when 1 looWl in the glass it was that unlucky feature that I saw, not the waving, glossy red-brown hair that was full of snn shine"'or.e' minute, and dark with shadows the n- xt, not the large hazel eyes nor the red mouth with the white teeth, nor the fair clear com piexion, but always that pngnacious little nose.

"No: to find Im- tiIum , nnbrclirn?. and Ton can hardly Bay that . 1 were lpoVing jforine nere onue ruinci Thank yon for'so much as that" Meantime Bessie had looked from one to the other and back again, and on her transparent little face waa plainly to be road, "What does It all mean, any way:" I answered her unspoken question by, "We are old friends, Mr. liarlburt and I." "Why didn't you say so?" she asked. "now could I when you nover uiwitiouod the name to me?" "Indeed I did!" "Maybe so; but my (tear, If yon had said that the angel Gabriel was your coinpaguon de yovage I should not have known it" Women are sometimes Just a little spiteful tod rudo; only sometimes and only a little, and this was one of the occasion. It was easy enough to aee that Bessie did not believe a word I said. Sho let mo sue that It was true, nevertheless, I had no rocollec tton of hearing the tiatno. I was glad to see Iawronce Hurlbut I aaid over apd over to myself that I was glad, bnt aomehow I kept wondering why it was that I did not find more that I could say to him ; why I did not find more intoroiit in what he said to mo. And I said to myself day after day, to-morrow or the next day this strange feeding of distance between uh will wear away. But it did not; and the days went by, and it dawned upon me that I had kept iny heart true for five yeara to a mau for whom after all I cared nothing. Ho was slow to boo this, bnt I, mado him un derstand. He desired, ao he said, to resume the old re lations; indeed he said, "Whenever yon will, Margaret, I will le glad with all iny"hoart to make you my wife." "Do you love me?" He hesitated. It is curious how a woman feels, but though I did not want to marry him, though I did not love him at all in lover's fash ion, I was sorry that he could hesitate, and was ashamed that I was sorry. "Say no ,' Lawrence, and bo honest " "I have thought of you all these years, Margaret " "And I've thonght of yon all these years, and thought I loved vou, but I didn't, and you don't love me not a bit; but I like yon, and shall like you all tho betfer for being honest." And it e.ided thus and there, my dream of so long a titna And by the timo tho voyago was ended ho and Bessie were engaged. And I found out what I ha 1 nursed hor back to life for. She triumphed over me in hor littlo fashion. I had planned to remain in New York that winter, had found or been found by some relatives who were "near enough to have a moro than a atrant-.-r'a interest inme, aim yet not mo near as to laiiu anything Tor "relation's sake." I took m :ch delight in an tiein.iting mv coming plea-'-res. But alas! I bad but iust nettled to the very delightful condition of things, when on re turning from a rido one day I found a letter forwarded to mo from my old home. It bad been to San Francisco, "and 'had followed me up. It was from an old friend, the only girl friend I ever had. She wrote: "I am passing through deep water. Ty husband died only last week, niy children are ill, I am broken in nirit and iu holth I want vou to come to me VVe vowod an enduring friendship. I boe you to come. " Tho letter had been over tno weeks on the way. My friend hved not moro than fifty miles from my home, but strangely enoutrh in her grief she had forgotten that I was not thero. I packed my trunk In the midst of many ex postulations from my friends. "It's sheer nonsense, Margaret," said Mrs. Bliss. "Your friend, it seem to me. can find some ono nearer who will help her; the idea of your giving np your winter hero, to nnrso and comfort a woman who has lost her husband as if it were so strange a thing to be a widow." "It s strange to her anyway. "Sho'll get used to it. "I s'pof-o so; we do get used to hard things. but between this and tho getting used to it aro long droary days of agony and loneliness. I must go to ner thero is no other way. I loved her, and she needs "me." And I went ent into a house where every thing spoke of sorrow, whore tho bereaved wife kept herself in her darkened room and the children almost bald thoir breath for fear of disturbing poor in am in v. I he waves anil the billows had gone over them and they wore overwhelme-"! It was real sorrow, snch as darkens the whole world to those upon whom it falls. It was a cruel change for me, but somehow 1 adjusted myself to it readily. It was glorious October weather, and I opened the windows and lnre-1 my friend from hor boil to look out upon the autumn glory. I let her talk all she wantod of her loss and her grief, and let her cry in my urnis. I didn't toll her that her hushnud was better off and he ought to be reconciled, but T per suaded her out to ride, and after a whilo to walk through the woods glorious with thoir scarlet and brown and crimso-i. And many and many a struggle did I havo before I brought that about I looked over the children's clothes, took turns sleeping with them for they conceived a mighty affoction for me, read to them and told stories till I was tired, and alarmed about my mental and moral condition, and sung till my voice failed. I superintended the domestic machinery, and kept the wheels from utterly clogging. And I grew weary a good lnuriv timcR. but it had its agreeable side.

And the desolation iiu'it iiiod. mv frioud's health returned, and hor wisdom rose above bor grluf and helped her to take up her bur dens again. And I was more glad than 1 could have been by the pleasures I h id foregone. Still the wonder grew in my mind, whv it was laid down that the thing that I planno 1 tn do was always the tiling that I was prevented from doing, "and the thing nnthonght of and ndosired was always the thing at my hand to da And I d;dn't like it any better than ever. One bright dav in November I went out to ride, taking with me the youngest and the lidest of the children, loin was a terror. "Helen's Babir" were not to bo compared to him. lie was not oiuy ono of thoso children who wanted to see the wheels go round he want.sl jo make them go. And this special afternoon lie was a trsric aiore persistent, more active, more r-ertis'a- jiously, diabolically mvent-ve man unaL I had used all sorts of strategies to kc-p i.im i arithin bounds, and had by di::t of (icriUj.s...ii and cajolings kept him from pitr-hing head long out of the buggy, or from frighten ing the horse out of his staid senses, but alas, it was to come, and no foresight or planning was to stand in the way. I don't to this day know just how it hap pened, but we were near tho village where we were going for tho daily mail, when by soma means I think the chief agency was a branch of sumac he succeeded in laving the last straw on the back of our much enduring horse. In an instant he began to run ; the child be gan to scream, not with fear but actual delight, and I clung helplessly to the reins. I turned to the screaming child beside me, and lifting him in one hand by his coat collar I set him through the open back of the buggy. As we tore down the street I looked and saw that he sat despairingly but safely in the dust of the street I no longer tried -to check the horso; I let him go. As usual, men and women showed their im becility by shouting and runnfrg at the fright ened beast - Probably if let alone he wonld have kept the road, bnt being denied that, and determined to go somewhere he "valiantly charged on a carriage hitched in front of the village drug tore. I saw what was coming I saw my helpless ness. Dim visions of a bruised and broken body flashed before ma. I saw all the past in that half minute, and over the thought of all others rose tho thonght of one man, I saw one face. ' I seemed to hear the words, "Margaret, I love you !" Then everything blended and crashed and blinded me. When I came to myself in the little back room of the drug store and saw Dr. Gray's face bending over me, it seemed quite the most natural thing in the world, and the most de lightfnL Saying, "O I am so glad!" I closed my eyes in absolute indifference to all surrounding ob jects. Broken buggies, broken bones even were nothing Dr. Gray was there. I was fearfully bruised and shaken, and my right arm was broken. . Somehow they took me home. I never bad a very distinct idea about it, and it was not un til the next morning that they allowed mo tc talk. I slept soundly, sweetly, with th9 feeling I was at perfect liberty to go to sleep, and with . the further half-consciousness that my slum bers werefbeing watched as I bad others. Ittwas more a feeling than a thought, for the magic in the little white powder prevented thonght When I awoke it waa to meet Dr. Gray's eyes, and to feel his strong gentle touch on my Land. 1 "Well, Miss Margaret; I see yon are enjoying your freedom in rather curious fashion; how ever, if anybody wants to get run away with and break their arms, and frighten thair friends half to death, I. suppose they ought to be indulged, particularly as they've uwaya DIE.
