A FATAL MISTAKE. 153 ‘‘And so Iam; Iam coming to Yonkers to see you,” he answered, smiling. ‘*My darling,.do you not know that all the world is changed for me now?” It certainly was for her, she thought, with a tender little smile, and then she said: ‘‘Have you a card anda pencil? I must tell you where to find me, you know.” ‘‘True. How stupid of me not to have thought of it,” he returned, as he searched his pockets to find what she wanted. ‘‘T thought it better to write it than to tell you,” she said, archly, ‘‘ fearing you might forget.” ‘*T own that I am not in a condition to remember anything to-night, save that you love me and that I have won you,” he whispered, putting pencil and card into her hand. She wrote the street and number of the house where she lived, and gave it back to him, and he put it away without even looking at it. And thus the moments sped swiftly on until they landed, and that delightful homeward sail was over and had become one of those events to be remembered and treasured when, in the dark future, they should look back upon it and wonder if as bright a gleam of happiness had ever really existed in their lives, Mr. Sherbrooke accompanied Mr. Rosevelt and Star to the station where they had to take the train for Yonkers, and found comfortable seats for them. ‘‘T shall see you again very soon,” he said to the old gentle- man, as he took his hand at parting. ‘“‘T trust so. We shall be glad to see you at any time; and many thanks for this day's pleasure,” Mr. Rosevelt replied, heartily. ‘The obligation is all on my side,” Archie said, with a meaning glance at Star, which made the color come again and her heart to bound like a roe in her bosom.
