As matters stood, and with their present understanding he was perhaps her best adviser. Wilford called to see her on the following day but Margaret's door was shut against him, and she beheld her husband's friend no more. And the blissful day came on slowly, at last, to the happy lovers for happy they were in each other's sight, and in their passionate attachment. And the blissful day arrived.

But I don't think that. I believe we should all do good to everybody." Folklore: Ex-Slaves Paulding Co., District 10 MARY BELLE DEMPSEY Ex-Slave, 87 years "I was only two years old when my family moved here, from Wilford county, Kentucky. 'Course I don't remember anything of our slave days, but my mother told me all about it." "The man who owned my father and mother was a good man."

"Take me back there," she said, "and let me lie on the grass again. It is so long since I was there, and I've suffered so much since then. Wilford meant to be kind, but he did not try to understand or know how I loved the country with its birds and flowers and springing grass by the well, where the shadows come and go.

Wilford, who had passed beyond her criticism. Sybil Grandon, too, stood back in wonder that a simple country girl should win and wear the laurels she had so long claimed as her own; but as there was no help for it she contented herself as best she could with the admiration she did receive, and whenever opportunity occurred, said bitter things of Mrs.

There is a new black silk for her in the trunk, and one for each of the aunties, while for you there is a lovely brown, which Wilford said was just your style, telling me to select as nice a silk as I pleased, and this he did I think because he guessed I had been crying.

When Wilford first returned from Silverton he had, as a sore means of forgetting Katy, told his mother and sisters something of the farmhouse and its inmates; and Juno, while ridiculing both Helen and Katy, had felt a fierce pang of jealousy in knowing they were cousins to Morris Grant, who lived so near that he could, if he liked, see them every day.

"Pray put some animation into your face, or Mrs. Grandon will certainly think we have been quarreling," Wilford whispered, as he lifted his wife from the carriage, and with a great effort Katy tried to be gay and natural. But all the while was she fighting back her tears and wishing she were away.

"Did you love anybody three or four years ago, or ever that is, love them well enough to wish to make them your wife?" Katy could feel how Wilford started, as he said: "What put that idea into your head? Who has been talking to you?" "Juno," Katy answered. "She told me she believed that it was some other love which kept you a bachelor so long.

But Mark did not care who was watching him, and continued his attentions until Helen wished herself away, and though a good deal surprised, was not sorry when Wilford abruptly declared the opera a bore, and suggested going home. They would order an ice, he said, and have a much pleasanter time in their own private parlor.

Short was the interval between ambition's crime and love's revenge with our poor Margaret. Wilford might never know how cruelly his bitter words wrung her smitten soul. She did not answer him. Paler she grew with every reproach deeper was the self-conviction with every angry syllable. She wept until he left her, and then she wrote to Michael.
