But, Uli 1 however my lonl hath linocd, 



Bhe was roused from her revery by the clatter- 

 ing of aborae'a hoofo, and looking tip expecting 

 to meet Fakxt'8 glowing face triumphant from a 

 race with Oscar, Fahkt'b horse bounded Into the 

 door-yard— riderless. With the wings of fear ebe 

 flew down stall b, but light as wero her steps the 

 Doctor heard them, and was at her Bide ere she 

 reached the gate. At first he hnew not what had 

 happened, bat as Mart's white face was turned to- 

 wards him, be saw the riderless horse quietly 

 grazing at a little distance. 



" 0, Fanny I My Fanny 1 " waa his Btarlled ex- 

 clamation, and springing upon the reluctant ani- 

 mal, he rode rapidly down the road. 



Mary stood gazing after him nntil distance and 

 dimness shut out bis retreating form. Her thoughts 

 seemed divided, for though pale and anxions, she 

 murmured to herself — "My FazinyI " 



The Doctor had ridden but a short distance be- 

 fore he came upon the missing party, at the road- 

 side beneath a large elm. Oboab, his hat thrown 

 aside, and his damp brown locks pushed back 

 from his pale face, waa kneeling upon the ground, 

 supporting the half-fainting Fanky in his arms. 



A pang Bhot throogh tho Doctor's heart Not a 

 pang of anguish at the thought of her apparent 

 Buffering. Ahl Felfish human nature! Perhaps 

 be had hoped to he the first to lift her Inanimate 

 form, to pillow her aching head. The thought, if 

 each a thought he had, was nnwortby of him, and 

 was bat momentary. Fanky waa not hurt, only 

 stnnned by the fall, and was soon able to return 

 homo. She Insisted upon being permitted to ride 

 her own horse for, "Poor Rollo," Bhe Bald, »'he 

 only entered a little too ardently into the spirit o* 

 the race, and forgot that his mistress was on bis 

 back." So her guardian lifted her to the saddle, 

 and walked by her tide, holding the bridle rein. 



Seeing her return thuc, was a great relief to 

 poor Miss Wait, whose heart had been well-nigh 

 breaking with suspense. 



Although uniDJored, Fanny did not seem to re- 

 cover her usual health and spirits for Borne days. 

 Her sleep was short and restleae — she was silent, 

 and cared little for eociery of any kind, Oscar 

 was devoted. lie did everything in his power 

 which might contribute to her amusement, and 

 certainly succeeded admirably. He had almost 

 completed bis studies, and I suppose was qultea 



A few days after this occurrence, Oscar went 

 home for a short time, and it waa astonishing to 

 see what a difference there was in Fankt. II er 

 guardian was seriously alarmed, and talked of 

 starting for Saratoga Springs immediately. 



They were seated on the piazza, Dr. Wauner, 

 Miss Wait and Fanny, when a visitor called and 

 Misa Wait left tbem. The Doctor thought a walk 

 woald do Fanny good, so drawing her band into 

 hia arm, he led her down the garden path to where 

 a rtutlc bridge spanned a little, purling stream, 

 which seemed ever to whisper — "Don't tell! I 



But I nil! not tell, for I cannot, what they said. 

 I only know what followed. They stayed a long 

 time, longer than was prudent for an invalid. So

ESCULANUS, SENIOR AND JUNIOR. 



[C, Q ,-! 



Tana day by day did Mary Watt, nnknown to 

 him, loek deeper and deeper into his heart, and it 

 is not strange that a shadow gathered about her 

 own. Hot that she was jealous or envious of the 

 love that, her woman's inBllnct told her, waa being 

 freely Uvished upon another. No, Mary was per- 

 fectly unselfish. Could she have looked into the 

 future, and seen there the fruition of her friend's 

 hopes, the perfection of his fancied happiness, she 

 could have been almost content. Not guilt, to be 

 Bore, but almost As it was, she saw nothing be- 

 fore him but disappointment, and that the deepest 

 which man can know at his time of life. She 

 could only await the issue In silence and anxiety. 



And Oscab? We have said little of him. There 

 has seemed to be nothing of importance to say. 

 Absorbed for the moat of his time in his studies, 

 the ladles eaw little of him except at table, or 

 in the evening, when he usually sang with Fanny, 

 played cards with them, or walked out with her. 

 She seemed his constant and appropriate compan- 

 ion. Polite and attentive as he was to every one, 

 there still seemed a brighter gleam In his eye, a 

 pleuaatcr tone to hti voice, when Fanny was 

 near. His manner seldom indicated more than a 

 brother's feelingB towards her. In factthey would

 Misa Wait paid little regard 





sigh that she noted how each day Fan 

 learned to listen for Oscar's step, how her eye 

 would brighten, and as quickly droop before bis 

 earnest gaze— how bhe would sit and listen bythe

Mary was silent. She felt the truth, and she 

 waited, acre that she should hear it

 Dr. Warner "theaweetett little note." Had t

men, it might have tamed his head.

He returned, of course he did ; bat not as Fanny 

 hoped, cheerful and calm. He was taken sick on 

 reaching New York, aod Oscar went to accom- 

 pany him home. He waa sick sorno time, and 

 nurelng, more care- 

 ful tending, than Mary and Fanny bestowed on 



m. Mary, especially, seemed his good angel. 



Br heart was in nil she did. With Fanny, a feel- 



g akin to remorse added ardor to her efforts. 



Bnt he lived and recovered. People tell of broken 

 hearts. If there are aaeh, I think they belong 

 those who are nnsnstained by a purer, diviner 

 love than mortals can give. Dr. Warner was not

 them, he was paler, graver tbao ever before, and in 

 blaok glossy hair a thread or two more of gray 

 had intruded itself. But his mein wbh dignified, 

 self-poBsesacd nod kind. Inasmuch as he thought he 

 had erred, he humbly accepted his disappointment 

 as a punishment. Towards bis ward, hiB manner 

 was as ever kind and fami'i-ir, thoagh somewhat 

 more quiet and falherly. AS to her, she felt as 

 though she had helped him to delude himself by 

 her playful coquettishness. A consciousness of 

 this threw over her conduct more dignity and 

 grace, while It did notBeem to diminish her affec- 

 tion. Her recent experience had divested her of 

 much of her childishness in teaching her the re- 

 sponsibility of womanhood. A henutifal woman 

 she was fast becoming; but we m net not linger 

 over her development. 



Two years passed away. Fanny waa twentyone, 

 and in fall possession of her right?. But she did 

 not seem so strenuous in maintaining them as in old 

 times. At any rate she relinquished the right to 

 her hand, heart and fortune to Oscar Warner, with 

 as much grace as if it had been a favor to herself. 

 Oscar had graduated with credit, and already had 

 some practice. Soon after the wedding they left 

 for Europe, (is Oscar intended studying

How poor Mary wept when Fanny was married. 

 And Fanny kept her company in It with equal 

 energy. Fanny was losing her dear and sisterly 

 friend. Mai . i lot! in that

Her step bad grown a touch leBB elastic, her 

 ringing voice was a tone sweeter, and at times 

 seemed tempered with swallowed tears. The car- 

 mine of her cheek had softened Into peach color, 

 and her manner, when not excited and fitful, was 

 more subdued than was natural 



Her guardian thought she studied too much, or 

 lhat the eat too long over those slippers which she 

 waa embroidering for bim. So two hours were 

 aet anluo from work and atudy, to he devoted to 

 recreation. In v&tu Fanny remonstrated, and Miss

 seemed heavy enough without knowing that the 

 day when " BoIIu " threw me, I learned for the first 

 time that Oscar loved me, and I tvld him that some 

 day I hoped to be Win bride." 



Miss Wait soothed and caressed the excited girl 

 as well as she was able, though her own tears fell 

 fast, and her heart ached both for her and for that 

 noble heart which Bhe knew must suffer and bear 

 alone. She did not sleep much — I think no one 

 did iu that house that night. The next morning 

 she arose early, and descending to the dining-room, 

 found on her plate a billet which enclosed another 



"Dear Miss Wait:— Business of an unexpected 

 nature, ha* culled me to New York tor a few day*

That note was henceforth to be one of Mary's 

 precious possession*. Fanny bad no seorets from 

 her, therefore she showed her the note which was

 liness. Wuuld to heaven I could recall those 

 words of mine. If I can moke arrangements lor

 few days. Whether we meet again or not, think 

 of me leniently as ynur misguided 



And what did Fanny do? Why, she threw the 

 letter from her, and went into a passion of tears. 

 Then, partially arresting the flood, she stumped 

 her foot, sud cried,

Miss Wait was going bacV to her lonesome old 

 farm-house, or perhaps to seek another situation. 

 Greendale was to be shut Dp, »nd Oscar nnd Fauny
