TH.VT was wlint Terence Daw- nay bad always called her, ever since they bnd met ami loved each otlier. Uo was Ic In-land now with bis regiment, but bo wrote very regularly to his dear llllle girl, nnd tliougli there was no ques¬ tion nf any foinial engagement lie¬ tween (bem, be hnd assured her tbat their umlerstanillng was as sacred a bond to hllll ns nny public betrotlial, and of course she believed him—for she was youu.tr, nnd sbL' laved bim.
She wns thinking of hliu as she walked down Hie path (o meet tJie postman; this was her letter day, and Irish letters alwnys came by the mid¬ day mall tn the Devonshire village where she lived within sight and sound of the moaning sea.
It was late lu June, and tbe summer wind tossed liei- pretty hair against Ihe cheeks, which were soft nnd flushed like a pench The postman was coming up the bill: a suiUe erossed bis weather-beaten face as lie caught sight of the waiting flgure.
"Tivo letters. Missy, lbls moruing," ho said, ns ho sorted Hiciu from bis bundle; that's all. Miss." Two letters!
She went out on the diff side with them; one wns, of einir.se, fiom Ter¬ ence; how well she knew his dear, un- (Idy writing! Sbe smiled as she put It Id her pocket; tbat must be kept as n bonne bouelie.
The other one wns In riulte slraiigo liaudwrlllng, and she tore It open, look¬ ing at Its contents with bewilderment. A blank sheet of paper Inclosing a small uewspaper cutting met ber eyes. What could It meau 1 The color fndeil from ber cheeks.
"We undei-staud tbnt nn Interesting engagemeut will bo announced before the end of the summer, and wc may safely ofTer our good wishes to the beauty of the year, Jliss .Snrgeaul, at tho same time congralulaling the gal¬ lant fiancee on bis luck. Mr. D.iwnay Is well known In Dublin, where bis regiment Is nt present (luartered."
The little lilt of pnper fell to Ibc ground. Of course It was not Intel It could not he true. Someone was try¬ ing to make mischief between tliem. That was all. Why, he was liers-be had been hers from the very flrst day thnt they bnd met! The newspaper did not know what It was talking nhout; she eyed tbe env(dope with disgust; wbo bad done this lliliig? And who wns Miss Sargennt? Terence had never mentioned her.
She pulled bis letier out of her iinolt- et and opened It, reading It with a sudden chill which (lueuclied Hie hap¬ piness  In  her preliy eyes.
".My Dear Mtlle (ilrl-I have hardly n moment for a letier, so I nm afraid tills win be very short, but there Is so much lo be dime here Just now, what ivllh polo and gnndnoh-H knows wliat else liesldes. Hint I bnve enough lo do to get everything done In the day. I'm going dowu to slay near Cnrk next week wllh some peopli' called Saf- geant—Jolly bouse nud nu eud of gay- etles, of ciiuise; I wish" (lieie soiue¬ lhing bad been scratched outi "I could have managed to run over to ynu, dear, but It's quite Impossible. Vou nee, there are nur maneuvers coming nn. nnd I must lie wilhiu easy I'eiieli nf lieailiinnrters. I dou't knnw that there Is nnytbing of Inii'iest to tell ynu.

"Tereiice." The suu was bidden by a thick ebuid, Ihe Bea mnancil on ibe rneks lielniv, nnd a light wind nillliil the waves. It Iniikeil like a cliiinKe lu the wealli¬ er. Ilul the girl dill not iinili.,. the signs of change. Iier ey.'s were ll.teil iiiisceliigly ou Hie letter In ber hand.

Of course, Teieuee was n lliri'. ileiir liny, Iiui as to nuyiliiuit .Isi'-slie lauglied at the mere Idea. She was sirlvliig for a lilglier desiiny than that, in spite nf all the snciety paperii uud tluir rum-
tmth for onoe.   Bhe did so trlth a mri- ous feeling of pity.   Tbe boy waa In euch earnest. "It la quite true." "Dawnay stac-ered to his feet For a few terrible minutes be Itwked at her In    silence—a   silence    which frlghKmed her.
"Then Heaven help tbe mnn who loves you!" he said, and turned nnd left her.
Terence Dnwnay sat In his quarter* with his bend burled In bis arms; the cool dawn crept In tbrougb Ibe win¬ dows on the motionless flgure; fot hours nfter hia return from tbe ball be bad not moved.
Presently he raised bis bend and looked almut him with haggard eyes, lie got up BtllBy and drew a long breath.
His Infatuation wns dead, lie had cnlled It love In bis youthful Ignor¬ ance, but the iM'wUderlng light of trutb had dispelled thnt Idea forever. What n fool hc had been! lie stood fnr a moment looking out on tbe ntlli, gray morning, nnd. with a sudden flood of remorse, reinemtiered tbe let¬ ter to which there bnd Iieen no an¬ swer; (he letter which In a moment of bis blind Infatuation be had written to Ills dear Hltle girl. He loved bor— loved her. Dear Heaven! hnd be thrown away the substance only to flnd himself striving to grasp n shad¬ ow?
"Wby bnd she never written to bhn? Had sbe given him up witbout a word, without even  n struggle? The Ihought pnralyied him. Truly he wns to be sorely punished for his madness.
Ills eyes fell on a revolver hanging ngainst (he wall. But he turned nway with a grim smile; be was not tbe sort to run nway from trouble when he found himself face to face with It. lie wns uo coward, at least
Then, with an exclamation, he selied n lettor which was stuck up on tbe inautelsbelf—possibly put there by bis servant on the previous evening.
It wns a letter from bis dear Ilttio gill nfter nil! For n minute or two lie hardly dared to open It; then be (ore It ojx-n, nnd read Its short con¬ tents  with eager eyes.
"I should have written to you before now. tny dearest—for you are always that-ouly 1 bnve been very 111, and nm only now up on the sofa, and cao only write these few lines to say that I love you—denr; I love you so much thnt I must do what seems to be the only thing left for mc to do, nod tbat Is to give .vou your freedom. 1 don't blame you, dear-1 shall never think batJly of you. Alwaya believe thnt I love you beller thnn anything on earth. I sign myself for tbo last (Imc. Your Deor Little (ilrl."
Twice be rend the little heart-broken Ie((er. A knock at bis door awoke lllin from bis mlsetablo thoughts with n start.
"Eight o'clock, sir," said bis Ber- vniit's voice.
"Ckime lu, Stevens," he shouted, as a sudden Idea flashed upon him. "Put some things up In my liag. I may be nwny for n dny or two, and Just get my serge out, will you?"
He was still In bis mess dress, bnt bis mail paid no attention to tbat; lo n few minutes he wns In Is usual un¬ dress iiiilfnriu, and striding over to tho colnnerH quarters.

The spider Is not an Insect, tbougb proliably nlue jieople out of ten would class It nnder this term. With scor¬ pions aud Iiilles spiders form a class 111 the animal kingdom kuown ns Araebnlda. This name Is derived from a mythical jiersonage called Aracliiie, tbe daugbter nf a purple dyer nf Lydia, wbo wns fabled tn have cliallfBgcd Minerva to a (rial of skill lu spinning. So Indignant was Hie goddess nt this act of boldness (bat she forthwith tiansformcd the bap- less cballeuser Into a spider, presum- nlily lu order tbat she might bave tbe best possible opportunity of practicing the art on which sbe prided herself so much.
