At least siu-- was my feeling ss I glanced at the invitations to a little moonlight excursion on the lake which were handed in by John while we were in seated at our cosy lireakfast-tabl- e Snow Cottage, one lovely morning in June. The note waa directed to Mias Lottie and Miss Cornie Whittaker; not addressed, na previous envelopes had been, to the Misses Whittaker, which would of course include Elixubelli WhltiuHer. spinster. The last word I announced almost audibly, with a bitter smile, which attracted the attention of my pet. Cornie, who said, tenderly, Slater Elisabeth, does your head ache this morning? How my heart yearned over that favorite slater of mine, the very Image of her lost father. We were now laying aside the sable mites worn for three years in token of our loss, but It seemed to me that I should always wear the calm, sober tints of second mourning, and in my inmost soul the memory of that idolized parent would be enshrined. My own mothpr I cannot remember; aha drooped anil failed when I was an kind and Infant; and my indulgent as she ever was to me, was not one to call forth the ardent affection, which but few had power to awaken in my heart. Gentle, dignified and reserved, she had bequeathed these same characteristics to her eldest Lottie. child, the golden-haire- d But Cornie was like our father, the same buoyant spirit, strong will and impulsive affection, the same dark, curling hair and eyes of laughing blue. I thought of ail this as I watched her fondly on that June morning, and recalled how I had been a second time orphaned when her mother was taken from us fifteen years ago. Since that time, when Cornie was four years old, she had been to me as much a daughter as a sister. IjOttie. who was five years her senior, had always been so and womanly that I could never regard her as needing that loving watchfulness that our younger sister seemed to require, and the relations between us could never be so tender and affecstep-moth- t O er, self-relia- !

Instead of Memory waa sumbusy recalling the mer, and how often I used to see my since lust sight of for many yeara. Ours hud been one of those youthful attachments which but seldom ripen Into first and only love. They are often lint "the prelude to ths strain, before the aoeg is sung. We were on the verge of nn engagement when Will was suddenly recalled to his distant home, and 1 had seen him no more. Yes, foolish as it may have been, 1 had always kept one corner of my heart sacred to his name, and it was with a st Taupe thrill that I heard he was again near me, and that I soon should see him. That day he called with his friend, Harry Mills. He was a tall, inun, polk, lied, refined and fascinating in ills manner, I could hardly Identify him with the slender youth that 1 had once known; hut he referred so gracefully to our former acquaintance mid expressed so much pleasure at renewing the intercourse so suddenly interrupted, that 1 felt perfectly at I' ed r, fine-looki- ng ease. How pleasant were the days that followed! We called each other Will and Lizzie in the most friendly way, and Lottie and Cornie seemed already to regard him In a very sisterly manner. We read, walked and talked together, and night after night his deep, rich voice would accompany those of my sisters, while I played the old familiar tunes upon the piano. I fancied that my own voice might have lost a little of its early sweetness, ami so did not attempt to Join the others, whose melodies were so harmonious. Several other invitations were sent an of yore to Misses Whittaker, and I was fast forgetting that I was an old maid, when, at an evening party I overheard the envious and remark, JiiHt Bee that Elizabeth Whittaker. What youthful ulrs she does put on! Trying to catch Mr. Loftus, 1 dure Ray. How thane words rang in my ears long after the lights, the music and the dancing were nhut out, and I was alone In my own room. How I catechised mynelf, and tried to reanon with ray poor, foolish heart. Yes, I had been trying to look young, anil had appropriated Will's attention as a matter of course. What right had I to monopolize his time? Wan it not far more likely that he would choose Lottie or Cornie If Indeed he were to pay court to any of us? Even this was by no means certain; he might go again as suddenly aa he had come; and 1 was startled to find what a nad void his departure would make in our circle, and still more in my own heart. I soliloAh, Ellzalieth, Elizabeth quized, "take warning ere too late!" The next morning I rose with a new resolve firm in my mind; I would not yield to the sweet delusions of love would not, unasked, give my heart. The world should not have cause to laugh at the silly fondness of an old maid. Strengthened by these purposes, I was the better fitted for the trial that awaked me. That very day Will Loftus came, and inquired for me alone. I caught a quick glance passing between Lottie and Cornie as I left the room, and there was a more rapid pulsation nt my heart as I entered the cool, dim room where he was seatpd. Elizabeth, he aald tenderly, as he took my hand, do you know what priceless treasure I have come to ask? I hardly dare to be so bold, and yet. faint heart never won fair lady, and I must not lose iny courage. How very timid he has grown!" I Can he not see that he has thought. but to speak in order to win?" I smiled assuringly, and he proceeded. "Do not think me prrr'pitate in my affection, though the acquaintance has i I I been so brief, for I cinnot lie mistaken in my feelings, and only wait your permission to offer my hand to your pet Cornie. You stand in the plai n ' sister, i v&-v, ' . of a parent to her. and therefore I asked your consent." Ah, Will, Will! It was well you could not read my heart just then!
