I was always glsd when my rounds happened to load through Sandridgo-by-Uio^ioa; there were many place* whe/o I met with kind friends enough, who ware pleased to aco tho old peddler, who had senrod them for so mxny yuan, ■boo lb or wera children themselves, some of them, but somehow I likod tho tramp to Sandiiilgo beat of all my journeys. One bright spring day I camo to Sandridge in tho afternoon, and as 1 neanxl tho place I atoppod to apeak to an comrade of miac, who was breaking stone by the roadside. "Any news cm yonr i mked, when we had passed the tboo of day to each other. "NewaP ho grunted, wiping his mouth with tho back of his hand; "now*, you say? Well, there's mote tiowi than I care for, anyhow:" and then nwiuacd his work, "Oomo, Sammy," I aaid, laying down my pack, "you're put out a bit. What's Up? "WJial's up?" ho repeated— ho always had such a Lrcoozno way of doing that, had flam Pen fold—' •well, a billet's up." "What's thai?" I s.kod. "Why, Just this; thoy ain't got room for the soldiers that are quartered at Ley, aq they've handed them onto us; and nolther with your learo or byyer leave, in stalks a great six foot fellow; right in to yer house, with a piece of paper b his hind. ' Ibal'a Us billet,* aajs he, and there slays as free pa yon please, whether y6u want hlxq or not" 1 laughed at Sammy's grievances, and reahouldering my pack, prepared to

walk on. •♦Oaing to Ben Byder's," asked Sam, with a parting grunt. "Ay^K •Than yon won't get lodgings there," : he aaid, with a grim satisfaction; "ho's got a billet, too." Somehow I did not like tho idea of » rough soldier being quartered at Ryder's house, though it was no buaboss of mbf. It didn't seam just right of Ben toward his motherless girl, but pYaps it wasn't any fault of his. Anyhow, I would wait before I came to sqj hasty conclusion on the subject • X Up IhodifTI teded with my load, end as I n oared tho lorn Akioo come out to ! meet me as usual, but, Vh other it was ; fancy or not I couldn't \n her face 1 seemed to look paler and grSi'cr than it ' used to be. She wore her uhg^ i girl's dreas of ooaxao homo-spty- but ' stuck b front of it was a cream c\md 1 rose, a thing I never aaw Amice 1 before b my life, flbo wasn't girro\ 1 frippery of any sort JJ "Oomo b.PeuI/* she said, b>l ding out h«r hana toward ma. iTohftre as tired as you can be, I'm aure." \7djI the same welcome as ever; but thare waa something b the nag of her voice that told me thai I wasn't altogether wanted there that day. or at least I thought so. However, sitting down in tho vetch, I stopped on for some little time, making her tell mo all the goealp of the villisge. Of course, the arrival of th o soldi en oame up among other things, and by the flash that ovanprcaa the girl1! pale cheek, as aho told me this bit of nevB,I felt auro that the mischisf was done, and that Amloo Byder was heartwhole no longer. * , ? ' Did vour soldier give yon that' rose, my lass?" I naked suddenly. For the first time b my life I aaw Amice angry, flho did not vouchsafe any answer to my question, but. rising from her aeai, she turned abruptly away and busied herself iu tho house, getting some refreshment for me, which 1 hardly deserved after toy impcrtbenee. As I smoked my pipe peacefully in the porch, I thought il all over, and made up my mxnd that it .was hblhbg to xne if Amice had*a lover. Her father could look after her interests belter than I could; only soldiers were such queer chaps; they often pretended whet they never meant, and I waa too food of Amloo to see her treated in that way. Huddealy, as I sat la the qutet spring sunshine, a aiwa man toitmguplhe ascent that led to Ryder"! cottage. His red ooat hanging on his ana showed him to be a soldier, His bat was off, and I oould see his (sot distinctly. • v . * x V Am tee," X salted out loudlr, ♦ 'Amice, ooxne hexe,"* ' Then as she beared me, 1 continued; "J* you the man that is quartered here, at yonr father's house?" For a moment she looked out a little enxkualy; then said, quickly; "Tea, that's him, Panl."^ ! Without another word I left her and walked down the steep rood withb a . • - Avi"v*^ **«-\\ \\ •' • '

Suddenly bo rais«xl bis cjta and they met mine fulb Ah me, how Lis face changed aa bo did i so. "What do you want uov? ' ho gaipod out. "Only to let you know that I am here, and con gueaa tho game yuu are playing," I returned- "As long as you remember that you're safe frum BC. Forget it, and i shall keep silence no longer." With a rough laugh he turned left mo standing alone; then I slowly remounted tho rocky path with a heavy weight at my heart, and prepared xnyaeff , for what I oould asy to tho girl who was waiting lor my return above. She stood watching mo from the porch, where tho ' rose* were oruwlng b their wild beauty, i ana I ooala soc s wandering sort of look in her faou as I came ncarlicr; but aho never spoke a word or asked a single . "question. I was a bit out of breath after my tug up-hill, and aa what I had to say wanted all tho calm rims and quirt nova I oould muster, I waited silent for a 1 time; then look her hand b my withered • one. . 1 "Amlco, xay bus," I aahL "I've known yon sino© yon wore a woo thing iuldling > a boat hare, and seen you grow up into ( the woman you are with near as much prido as your own father oould do. and . un tho strength of thai old friendship I j want yon to m^ke mo a pruxnlsc." | No answer, only aho held her head a i bit higher, and looked me straight !n Lho ] faoo unflinchingly. "Will you gmut an old whim, Amice?" I said again. | "I must wait until I hear what il is I first, Paul?" aho replied. | "Well, it'a this. I*vo a strange fancy « to bo cno of tho guests at your wedding. I Ainice, and tho promise I want from you 4 is this: flvo days before your zaarnago send mo word to come to IL" - I flho laugnod merrily, her old unoon- ' acious laugh, that somewhat hurt mo to J hear. I "0. you silly old Paul," she aaid, 1 blushing slightly, "i» that all joq'to boon making such a mystery about? 1 Weil— yes, 1 promise, } 1 looked at her earnestly, "Amino, " I said, "you havo given mo r your liTomlao, and I trust you. What- t ever persuasion you may get to tho oon- \ you. give mo your honest word c that old Paul, tho peddler, ahsll oomo to j your wedding?" t "Yea," she said, MI do, Paul, roaliv * and truly." „ Only a few months passed a war before i the summon s I Lad been fearing j Amteo was going to bo !mamod and s

wrote to bid mo oomo to tho wedding, Thero were few railways in thooe days, remember, so I had to start on fool and walk day and night b order to reach Bandridgo b time, and a heavy jaunt it was, for I waa not so young as I used to be. Many greotingi mot my care, and many a laugh was rail ad at my eony appearance, for I looked trmvri-otAbsd and weary enough I warrant. At last I reached the iittlo ljch-gato leading into tho old cboreh-janL and there my apint almost failed me, for on the groand Uy the pretty flowers that tho children had thrown before tho brtdo aa aho walked up tho path. Bui, nervmyself foe what waa before me, I entered tho open door almost unnoticed. I saw Amico as aho stood In her gown with her beautiful head drooping on to her breast. I only at her, I say, and tho sight givo courage; no man living shoufwiann her while I livvd to prevent It, bat xny Jaak was a hard one for all that. Htepking forward through the little crowd of Jktegcre that looked on, open-mouthed, me, I made my way toward the «4?!v chancri: J ©sited out aloud, holding 11111,1 not go on." them, «UrtieS& ^ knowing how tSL^* DOt wilh^k^d te1SvCOT?riffi T* . k1XoU 1 Aatees lace «• "la this true?" asy* rvfrJrJ: , , his voice shaking a little wi5?JL ho felt.

For a minute something seemed to oaxae btqtny threat and prevent me from speaking.
