UU1ET HUTU ; Oil, U1VES HACK. Sho was very quiet, my friend Huth Karle, Keposo wasincvciy line of her form nnd every leaturo of her pretty face. Tho soft waging hair, brown in tho shallow and fleck ed with palo golden gleams when the sun shone upon ilj tlie solemn blue eyes, tho straight white brow all very quiet to inten-sity. She never blushed or trem bled, or went into ecstatic of ad miration, or fear or fun; her smilo rose on her face and lit it, n the full moon does the sky on a still summer night, and every tone of her voice was low and musical, Some called her cold, hut I who knew her so well would have latmhed at them. In one sen tence she could embody the sentiments nn other girl would have spent nn hour in de- iniating. In one glance she cruld reveal a perfect tempest of joy, or love, or scorn but the glances were rare nnd the words rar er, but Ruth's heart was usually sealed casket to all about her. A quiet interest and sympathy in others' weal and woe, .1 peace ful sort of happiness only those were on the surface and the torrent of cmotiou rolled on silently benealh. Why, of all the men on earth, Ruth Bhould have given her heart to my cousin. Charley Campbell, I could not guess. How he flerv and emotional to a degree, acting on impulse altogether, loving everything that dashed and glittered and made a noise adoring martial music and passionate poet ry, and always smitten by talkative, blacb hatred, waltzing, coquettinuhelles ever fell in love with quiet Ruth Karle was still stranger problem. When one fine August evening he bounced into our parlor where was fcitting alone, nnd informed me without parley or preface, that he was engaged to Ruth, I in my astonishment exclaimed should have as soon imagined a mad bull en gaged to a ring uovc; anil was very sorry afterwards, it was such a foolish, singular speech. Still it did describe my feelings e.v actly Everyone wondered, Young girls "won dered what ho could see in such .1 quiet girl;" young gentlemen "wondered how sh could like such a wild scapegrace." Ilut when, at last, she came to me one day, and with both hands in mine, said, "iilary, you do not know how dear he is to me he is m life." I wandered no longer, for I knew that Huth had given him one of those irresisti ble, unconscious glances of hers, and shot him through the hcarl. I think they were very happy all that bright autumn; and when the winter came the quiet contentment of Ruth's (ace dcep ened, and every evening he was at her side reading or singing, or talking to her in soft loving whispers. Was she laming down my wild cousin? Could mortal woman dosuch seemingly impossible thing? Were all the wild oats sown all tho scrapes over? It seemed so. The carilesi hoy was maturing into th igh-bred man ; passionate and impulslv till, but with higher aims and better prir ciples The winter rolled away, the bright spring came, and when the fragrant apple blo'som were upon the trees, Ruth told me that th' ay was appointed Cor her bridal, nnd w rode out together one morning to purchase satin and lace, and muslin for the bride's attire. Going home together with the par cels stowed away in the bottom of the ve- licle, we met Cousin Charley, his cheeks aglow and his eyes dancing with suppressed merriment. He waved his hand to us and we paused. 'Tako me in, won't you," he said, plead ingly. "I have been to call upon you and of course found you 'not at home.' You have a ecat for me, I know," I signified my approval, and he jumped iu and sea'ed himself beside Ruth. "The 'I'etral' came in to-day," he Baid, as wo drove along. Did you htar the gun? She is a fine veel, just from India, with a set of the yellowest passengers you ever saw. Liver complaint is as common among them as among French geee, and pepper is tlie chief article of their diet. Such tempers 11s they have, too; it would puzzle Ruth herself to keep quiet among them." "How do you know so much about them? I inquired. Oil, I've been to break fait with one of their number," replied Charley; "an old na bb who is as rich at he is ugly, and who has tho handsomest wife by the way, an old schoolmate of yours. .Mary." ' Who is she?" I asked, He replied by another question "1V you remember Kato Ulynn? 1 "Kate lilynti? les. Is she the nabob's wife?" 'Of course she is. I met her coining olf the boat this morning. She knew mo at nuce. We had a desperate flirtation long ago, She is one ol tho red-hot, mad-cap girls I used to like before I knew my snowbird here, and my face remained in her memory. Sho introduced me to her husband, and he invited mo to breakfast, I revenged my self for the spices which burned my tongue, by burning the old fellow's heart with jeal ousy, and talking myntcriously of old timei. lie did not invito me to call again; but she did, and I am going," "Charles Canibbell, I am nshamed ofyou," said. "Oh, it's nil nonseme, Mary," said Clmr- ey. "Here is my safeguard; ' anil his arm tole about Rulh's shoulder so decidedly, lat I wm obliged tn change places with 1 1 1 it) minedlstely on account of the publicity of 10 street. Throughout that ride he seemed to over- nw with merriment. He intimated the old man a manner, his conversation mid his frown; told extravagant stories of the lady's smiles and attentions, and made 11s laugh by description of the saucer eyes of the na bob's black servant who waited behind his chaii. Ruth smiled placidly upon liltn nil the while, and seemed perfectly contented with his nccout of the flirtation. What shall 1 do when you elope witli the nabob's lad?" sho said a we alighted. Follow me and shoot me throush the head with a revolver," answered Charley. "It would be easier to elope inysell with the nabob," returned Ruth quietly. "You would not be worth (hooting." "There spoke ltuth," laughed her lover. 'You would never break your heart over me, snowbird, ' Anil, somehow, n sort ot dissatisfied tone was in his voice, as he ut- tend tho word at least I imagined there waj; hut it was gone before he handed us out of the carriage. We were working on the bridal outfit slowly. Day by day the dainty garments grew beneath our fingers. We sat together n a little quiet room, looking gardetiward, which Ruth called her own. The window opened inward, and a red ro'e vine without fluttered Its leaves and fragrance in upon us. Soft lace was looped about it nnd about the bed. Tho floor was covered with white mat ting. Thero was a great "sleepy hollow," or a chair, in one corner, nnd a marble stand against the wall. Over the mantel hung the picture of a sleeping child. It was a quiet room, just fit for quiet Huth, and no she sat in the soft shadow of the fine branch es, sending the needle iu and out of the 6nowy muslin, and humming n low, plain tive tune, I med to think that I never saw any one so beautiful. Charley came every eveuing; and as I watched the two sauntering nrm-in arm by the river si le, or sitting by the piano sing ing together, or listening to each other, 1 used to please myelf witli fancying the hap py married life which lay before them. And still tho wedding day drew near, and tlie orange flowers which wero to deck Ruth's hair were building iu the conservatory. Charley's old uncle, a wealthy bachelor, who had adopted him in his boyhood was often with in. lie seemed to take an almost fatherly pride in Ruth's gentle beau ty and purity. And I knew of a rich trous seau which was in preparation for the com ing day. How peacefully happy we al were. I have often wondered since that there wero no omens in the sky, no whispers in the air,no black clouds anywhere to warn us of the coming storm. I stood on the verandah one night look ing at the moon. Charley had bidden adieu to Ruth, and was going away down the path At the gate he paused for me. Wrapping my shawl about me I went down and stood beside him, Never in my life had I seen sorrow seated beside Charley Campbell; but she was with him now. His eyts were heavy his cheeks Hushed, his head bowed upon his bosom. I looked at him in terror withou the power of uttering a word. He spoke first. "Mary," he said, "do you believe that Ruth loves me?" As her life, I answered, 1 am sure 0 it." "He shook his head. "I am not," sail he. "When a woman loves she blushes and trembles; she can never wear so cold and placid a face, so unperturbed a mein she is quickly jealous quickly moved t tears. The passionate love of a warm heart ed woman passes all things. Mary, I do not believe Ruth ever loved me, or will ever love any one," "Have you had a quarrel?" I asked, breathlessly. "A quarrel? Xo! I wish we had. A quar rel would show some feeling to be touched, Ruth is n beautiful, loveable crea ture, too good for a wild fellow like me; but a man might as well worship n marble statue. She is freezing. She chills me. "You are speaking blasphemy?" I gasped. "Rurii is on angel." "I like n spice of the devil," .muttered Charley. "Well, no matter. I'm n fool, perhaps. Oood bye, Mary. Whe'her Ruth loves mo or not, I have loved her. I sup pose that should content me. He was gone among the shrubbery and I went back to Ruth with a deadly horror at my heart. When he came again lie was the same ai before, ami seemed to have forgotten the conversation utterly. I had not called on tho nabob's lady, nor she on me. We never suited each other. I caught a glance of her carriage often, and three times I had seen Charley's face look ing out of tlie window as it rolled by, And, ut last, a faint breath of scandal reached my ears, and I heard tho name of that bold, handsomo woman mingled willi Charley Campbell's iu a way I did not like. Ruth heard nothing of it, however, and the wed ding day was near at hand. It came at last. The guests were there. Music and llower-perfumu tilled the houee in ner own room, uuiu r.arie (ircsseu in nor floating robes and veil, waited for the bride gtooui's coming. I heard, as I sat by the window, the quick roll of a furiously driven cnrrlit It pained at the gate, borne one leaped out and rushed along the path and up tho stairs. The door was dashed wildly open and Charley s uucle stood amongst us, He held a written paper in his hand and hi eyes started from his head with passion "Hois gone!" ho shouted "Cloue will that wicked woman. He has dared to write and tell me so. I have disinherited him and I curse him with every curse that can light unman. May he beg his bread from J "r to door! May oh, God !'' Tlie wild voice broke, and he fell with blood starting from his lips, full length upo the floor. When wo raised him he was tlem In the letter cliitolii.il by his uncle's stilleuei: fingers we read the words: "When you lead this I shall be far away I liy to-night with the only woman who ev loved uie.

There were scrt nms and tears and terror n the house; hut there upon the floor, sat Ruth palo and motionless, her bride's veil abbled iu tho dend mini's tilor)d,nnd her eyes closed ns though she never wished lo pen them, I'eoplo said sho bore it bravely, when they aw her, In .1 little while, quietly and as uy ns before. When the will was opened, ml It was found that Charley Cambell had een disinherited, and nil tho property was eft to Ruth, nnd thought that nil was over; ut I, -Mid I only, knew of the canker worm eating ut tho young lictrt day and night. Six mouths passed by, and we heard nothing of the false lover. Wo never spoke him to Ruth, or among ourselvs, and II the lovo I had for him turned to scorn. At lat one day a letter reached me. It was post-marked C- , and was from a comparative stranger, who had written to me as Charley's only relative. Oh I what a tale was recorded in tlio-e lines. I can ouly give the substance. Tlie two had fled to Curope nt first; thence when tlie dread of pursuit was over, they had returned to this country. Then for the first lime they had lean of the loss of Charley s furtuno and poverty seemed staring them fully iu tlie face. Their debts accuinuUted and the change in circumstances brought chango In aflection. They quarreled madly, each re- irouched the other, and the white hand of lie woman was often raised against the man ho once professed to love. Sin-branded, beggared, poor Charley Campbell paid the penalty of his crime, and worse was yet to come. They were in a carriage one day, driving toward a dwelling place, fur debt had turned tflem from the old one. They were quarrel- rellng in suppressed voices, and looking lint hate into each other's ejes, when a sight arose before then that struck them dumb with horror. There, in the middle of the road stood tho woman's injured husband, with a pistol in Ids hand, pointed at them. v hither he infant to tirrtuthcr was never known; but the ball entered her heart, nnd he ftll forward with a scream. The explo sion of the pistol frightened the horse; he became unmanageable and dashed forward lown the hill, crushing the driver beneath the wheels, and stamping on and mangling him. "We think him dying now," the wri ter continued. "His right arm has been am putated, nnd he is prostrated by pain and loss of blood. He has need of the friends whom ho has so much oflVnded; will you forgive him and como to him?" The letter fell from my trembling fingers. Huth had stolen to my side unseen, nnd had read it also. Down at my feet she knelt, and buried her face in my lap as might a grieving child. Neither of us shed n tear, but we sat thus for an hour in utter silence. At lat she spoke. "1 have a favor to ask Mary. Promise mo that you will crant it." "Anything, darling, I replied." "Let me go with you," he murmuted "Let us nurse him if lie is suffering, and be with him to the last if he should die. lie was almost my husband once, my dear, Oh, take me with you I" "Do you remember how he has wronged you, Ruth?" I asked. "Mary," she answered, rising to her feet "do not misunderstand me, I would not leave him know my presence. I do not seek to bring myself to his remembrance. I will go with you as a maul or nurse; a coarso dress, a servauts's cap, and the curtainet light of a tick room will keep me frdm hi knowledge. 11 he recovers he shall never know that I have been near him. I only seek to see him once again, and do wlut lit tle good I can, for I loved him very dearly. Mary very, very dearly!" Who could withstand her? Vo were off all tho world beside to hold you for one mo- tnont f 1 my breast to-press your soft Hps to Imp but once ngaln," She had stolen from the shadow; she crept toward the bed; she outstretched both arms toward him, as a mother mlghtseek to clap ti ee more her lost child; and still something I1e.1l her hick Irom the bosom where she longed to nestle. gul 11 he spoke, and this lime he uttered nly her name : "Huth, Ruth, Ruth?" but hot tears were ill ills eyes, and they broke the spell which kept her from hlin. The coarse cap lay on the ground, tho gilden hair fell over her white forehead in glit tering masses, and with a low, trem'tlom cry she cast her arms about him, pillowed his thin c'teek on her bosom, nnd gave back Charley Campbell the quiet heart he, had well deserved to lose forvever. He has It still, and it is very dear to him, dear that I believe no words could tell its it I u e. hince the hour when tho words wero poleu which united them f'irever, each has trusted in the other to the uttermost, nnd there are no happier people in tho whole length and breadth of the land than Charley nd his quiet Ruth."
