and every one appeared to know It save
Jack.'
, Poor, busy Jack: It wan all w-wk
with hlin and no sympathy. Iu tUe
morning be hurried to the fields, he hur
ried from the table, at night be hur
ried to bed that he misht be the early
riser that the next day's labors demand
ed. Thus it was, per bap, that he did
not notice the shadows that deepened
in her eye. At first, with a tittle en
couragement, she would have told him
all and cried It out on bia shoulder, aud,
perhaps, together they might have
learned the lesson of endurance. But
now her heart bad crusted over and
hid beneath its surface ber sorrow. Suf
fering, doubt, grew in noxious luxuri
ance in ber soul's garden and threat
ened to choke out timid lore. For this
she blamed him. She said, over and
over to berself. that be did not cjire.
and then, out of loyalty to him, denied
it, but at last, against her will, she bad
admitted the truth of the accusation.
Finally she bad told it to the dog and
wept into big shaggy mane, and he bad
listened gravely and with Infinite pa
tience, and licked her-; hand In foud
sympathy. But of late it seemed to ber
that he bad deserted ber cause, and, as
if to reprove ber discontent and set an
example of fidelity, left ber aide to fol
low bis master all the day long. , And it
bad come to this! She would answer
the pleadings of ber soul; she would
leave him. She would go home, back
to noise and bustle and life; back to
friends and Tolcefol companionship.
Strengthened with sudden resolution.
eb? sprang to ber feet and looked at the
ciock. mere was time to eaten the
down train. She had money of ber
own, the remains of ber spinster sav
ings. She would take the pony and
leave at the postoffice a note that would
explain the story of it all to Jack- With
ne-vons -fingers she set about tidying
the room. When this task was finished
she placed upon the table Jack's lutieb-
eoa- noting with a tender smile some
of tbe things sbe bad brought wltb ber
and which sbe was about to leave (lie
dainty tea urn. the sugar and cream
holders that Jack had laugbed at for
their amallness, tbe cap witb a brokqa
handle that was reserved for btm be
cause of its size and solidity. Wbn
tbe table waa set sbe corered It wttb a
pink net, and turned to . lay out ber
pretty traveling dreo that sbe bad
worn but once before.
The train pulled Iu with a rattle and
clang of brakes and sbe dimbed atoard
and saw tbe bouse fade out of sight lie

; rerollectton, sbe sat np and powsed br
