have hesitated for a single moment with my answer bo wife M matter stands 1 would rather you Would wait until the end of year before you plight your troth Of course neither of the twain would listen to this proposition and thus it was somewhat in anger at their decided refusal that Egbert Vail forbade their marriage and ordered Walter Lindsay from the house In anger only for when the next rising sun shone warmly into the old man's chamber he awoke repentant of his rashness of yesterday and re- solved to bid these two loving ones spoed en their journey through life But when he came out from his room and down to where his family were wont to gather for prayer he found that in the night Walter Lindsay and Agnes Vail had rone out into the world and without his bloating Low to work In vain did plead a tu and dire necessity as a reason why he should be given em- ployment Bound as was his logic there were men who fancied themselves better than he and it waa to such as taran to work whom be applied for II Whun Walter Lindsay had nes Vail to be his wife he not have foreseen the manner in which his parents would receive the news of his marriage else he would have hesitated long are he took so decided step wards its To him life was all brightness He had always his own way and he could not have been made to believe that he took any woman as his wife to his father's home that the

Scotland Five years have nearly passed sinos Walter Lindsay and hb fair young wife came to dwell in In that time the cottage which at first they had rented had become their own They had one child a lovely little bud of future womanhood on which both parents doted Walter Lindsay had by careful to the duties that went bis risen from the position which he had at Bnt accepted and was now foremen It was a morning in early spring He and Ais wife were standing on the piazza enjoying the wealth of golden sunshine that Uy everywhere about them The tiny crocus peered forth from winter bad moved by the soft warmth of its rays and opened its beauteous eyes upon the new life that for a brief season it was to enjoy Not unlike the life of a man is that ef the crocus It comes into life ia fullness of a great beauty While yet its Somehow old If r Lindsay had heard qf his son's marriage two days before that son came in person to apprise him of it and present his fair-haired bride to him And in these two he had nursed his anger to such an extent as to make it something really terrible In vain did his wife attempt to soften down wrath In vain did she shed tears and plead that he would forgive their boy for the sake of the old time when his childish ways and prattle had been the comfort of their lives tell you No r he said in the angriest of tones He is not worthy of forgiveness It was not that to gratify wishes I gave him money with which to spend the summer in the country in idleness but he must needs repay mj by beneath him in station and thereby bringing bis name No no 1 can never forgive him er I never T And the old man was true to word for when Walter Lindsay rung the bell at father's home the servant from the basement door aad handed him a note be hastily opened and read When he had finished he oast one withering look of back his father's then turned to his fair young wife and took her arm within his own saying as be did the world lies all before us my beloved and my

But ana did not she only locked her husband in follow seem rightest a passing storm sweeps them to the ground and it is gone But when the of the year shall come again it will bud and blossom into a new beauty like the soul of man eut down in his pride aad strength and laid in the grave will rise again to dwell forever in the Master's kingdom This loveliest of mornings Walter Lindsay lingered longer than usual by the side of nis wife Was it because some inward prompting bade him enjoy that which was his as though it was the last time he should sea her in this world I know not Bnt when he turned and traced his down the walk and through the gate out into the long road that led to the shop his eves had looked for the last time into those ef the woman he loved If one foresee events how much of the misery that most of us have to endure might be If on this particular morning Walter Lindsay have seen the grim monster Death t as he in and about the shop he might have remained at home and then there would have been no broken-hearted woman and fatherless child in the cottage on which the sun so lovingly this morning It was to be a busy day at the shop They had completed a huge
