SELECT STORY.
STORY SUGGESTED BT THE HO
TURE GALLERY OF AN ANCIENT
HOUSE.
I sal iu tlio dull, ntlll, lonely house,
long nftcr tlio enrly dinner hour, wait-
tu; lor Homo ouo to conio in itnu bi'cak
tlio opprcsuivo silence. I would havo
welcomed nnytlilns that could havo
been called sound. Nothing to be
heard during tho long, nuiet hours but
tho lickingof tho greilt clock, nnd loud
er still, tho great cathedral notes of my
own heart, which beat so that 1 could
hear every pulsation as it rang out the
assuranco that I "still lived."
Suddenly I seemed to havo a desire
to look on tho family portraits which
ting, not in a gallery, but all along
tho walls of tho long, dim hall. Tho
afternoon was chilly and damp, and so
dark from an approaching shower that
the largo room in which Iliad beet sit
ting was tilled with tho shadows which
were thrown upwards from tho lights,
for oven at that season the hearth at
my grandfather's was novercold.
1 know that tho history ot ail these
dumb yet eloquent beings of tlio past,
save one for many, many lioure bad
bcon spent in my childhood wandering
up and down their Btaircase, with my
litllo hand enfolded in my grandfath
er's, whoso own portrait vas anions
them. 1 remember how difficult it was
to nnaociate tho bent and aged form,
tho silver hair and sunken oyes, with
the broad shoulder, bright chestnut
curls and flashing orbs depicted on tho
canvas. It was a great mystery to my
childish mind the creat mystery of
nature, and though recognized by us
all, is yet unsolved. This slraugc,
mysterious pnnoiplo of , decay, acting
upon that only which is breathing nnd
sentient ; nover renewing itself, but
waiting year after year, while only tho
inanimate crows fro-m with each re
luming spring.
It was not to my grandfather, how
ovor, that I owed my entiro knowledge
of tho pictured forms. That would
lavo been too far beyond my compre
hcnsiou, that lnnor history ot their
"... 'Alt
ivcs. litit so much timo had I spent
with him there, and soiutimato had 1
become with them, for ho had always
called them by their names, as though
they wero living being'-, that it only
made mo yearn for a deeper revelation
of their lives as I grow to appreciate
siioh hiBtorios.
To his daughter, a womau of strong
cultivated mind, but Irom somo Borrow
in hear early life, of somewhat melan
choly, perhaps morbid: tendency, I
learned to fill up the outline which fath
er had only begun : and at fifteen the
portraits had a charm tor me beyond
description.
"And this is the one called Marga
ret, I said to rny aunt, as she camo m
and carefully wiped the light dust from
tlio pictures.
bho turned upou mo with an inquir
ing glance.
"flow do vou know 7 Bhesaid quick
l.v.
"Because giandfather always said to
that picture, '(iood moruing.Marcarot;
sometimes it was 'dear Margaret,' " I
answered.
Sho sighed and tried to turn tho sub
ject, but I could seo that she glared at
the portrait sovcrai tunes, and mem at
me. At length she said :
"You are really getting to bu
voting lady, Helena! it seems so
strange. You havo always seemed so
very childish until now ! It is only this
month back that I tiavo noticed that
you aro as tall as I am." Sho paused
a moment, and then resumed : "I used
to think that you rosemblo this very
picture, but your mother would nev

I longed to ask why, but there was
something about nor that provented
me, especially as I had frequently no
ticcd with wonder that this portrait, al
though tho best by far in tho collcc
tion both in tho faco itself and tho ar
tistic uiorit, was placed in a corner of
the staircaso in a bad light, and with
every appearance of neglect or want of
appreciation. It was now only that
saw it to advantage, aud that was be
cause tho whole staircaso was darkened
by tho passing thunder storm, and the
skylight at tho top of tho long upper
hall blew off, nnd tho red lightning
streamed upon the pictures. 1 had
been gazing at them as I paced tho
hall, for in thunder showers I was over
unquiet und ri.-stlons, and I was often
attracted to tho 'Margaret'' that it was
no marvel that atthatmomout my oyes
should havo been tixed on that lace in
stead of any other.
That momentary gleam 1 How it

probably, seo her again. 1 never
thought of tho rain that streamed dow
in torrents through tho open aperturo

Esther, who was calling "Helena 1" at
tho very top of her shrill voice, and
whom I saw, as I looked up, busy
with tubs nnd pails to catch tlio mun
datioti.
I only watched for another gleam
and I did not, watch altogether in vain
but tho second was a pale, wliito streak
that gavo a strango beauty, too mourn
ful to make mo wish for it again i ant
I ran iuto my room, shut the door and
throw myself on to tho bed while teaiu
(lowed irom my oyes.
Aunt Esther camo dustling in, stal
led from her usual moody stato by tho
passing storm. "Mercy, Helena!" sho
exclaimed, in a voicu that came sharp
aud ringing to my oar ; "why don
you co in o nnd help us to stop tho
rain t"
I laughed outright through my tear
"Can you stop it, aunty!" said I.
Sho caught sight of tho glitter on my
wet check and was checked in a mom
ent from tho almost ftngry words sho
about to utter. "My poor child," sho
said, "you aro really frightened ; Ho
still dear, and I willoooioto you as soon
as tho man gets tho skylight closed
again."
When, half an hour later, sho
(tamo to uiv hodsida I was iust wakin
from a dream in whioli Aunt Either
was standing on tho edgo of tho roof i
tho act of throwing "Margaret into
largo cistom in tlio stroot, and I was
holding out my hands to break its
full.
"Don't throw it, mint!" I Bcreiiined
out to her, and awoko to seo her cover
iug mo with a warm blanket, for sho
saw that I wasohillod and trembliug
"Now, aunt, toll about that picture
I havo seen it by this lightning, as I
shall never sec it ngaln, and I want to
now its history.
Sho mado some feint of not being
willing, but I do beliuvo that alio was
dying to relate it to me. Tho shower
was not vet over. It was nearly daik,
and tho low, blaok clouds still camo
rolling upward, and tho long, mutter

boards wero nnueti down ovor u more
securely, for no ono in tho houso ever
thought of keeping it open to light tho

Aunt Esther placed herself in tho
largo flowered easy-chair which had
been my dear mother's when sho was
living. Her tall, thin prim figuro roso
up straight nnd perpendicular, and her
long, meagre hands woro folded on her
lap. Her hair was folded plainly ovor
her forehead, and was still, in some
places, dark and glossy, but just nbovo
the temples thoro wero two largo spots
l silvery whiteness, that looked as it
two Biiow-hnnds had been pressed there
to hido something aching beneath.
"1 do not know that 1 call lell you

she at length said. "There is little

I had read many romantic talcs but
thcro was that could actually bo told
by lips something, too, that was con
ucctcd with a mystery, of my family at
loast, and I experienced a now and do-
ughtful densatton.
1 cannot givo any idea ot it in my
aunt's lauguage, for so fearful was she
of approaching it too nearly, so vaguo-
ly did she talk ot persons and subjects
in connection with it, and so olten did
I question her of mallors without
which being oxplamod I could not
grasp any meaning to hor words, that
I prefer telling it in my own abrupt
and blunt way.
Margaret, then, was tho sister ot my
grandfather, tho only and idolized
daughter ot tho family tno pet of
four or live brothers, all older than her
self the graceful, beautiful, accom
plished representative of tho female
part of tho Greenwood household.
That she should ho petted and ido
lized was not strange, for no lovelier
being had ever dawned upon humanity
no brighter, happier impersonation
ot youth, intellect and gracelul beauty
over beamed upon a household than
Margaret Greenwood.
All that wealth could procure was
lavished upon her enjoyment ; all that
lovo could deviso was poured out like
water al her feet. Throughout tho
household Margaret's comfort and hap
piness wero tho engrossing thomcs. In
trilles, as in things of magnitude, there
was a positive passion to nunistor to
hor gratification. Not a dress did she
hang upon her dainty little person that
was not imported especially lor use.
Not an ornament graced her that over
saw tho light of an American jcwol
caso. Copely painted her, it was true:
bat Copely was tho princo of portrait
painters at that period, and his pictures
will ever be recognized as perfect in
individual expression ; possessing an
inimitable charm ot altitude, an indes
cribablo beauty of coloring, and though
last but not least, an adoption ot cos
lume combining tho richest material
with tho most faultless simplicity in
its shaping j reproducing only thoso
classic methods of drapery which aro
ever new and beautiful. There aro few
families which would not like to boast
of ancestral paintings from tho hand
of Lord Lyndburst's father.
Well, Margaret's husband must bo
imported, too : and when Walter
Groenwood (my grandfather) returned
from IvIinlHU'g, whero ho had finished
his education, he brought with him
young Leonard Bruce, and at 1(5 Mar
garet was betrothed to him. Never
was a moro perfect match to all appear
ances. Both wero surpassingly hand
some, both highly intellectual. Jvich
had a certain individuality of look,
character, expression, so different from
all others around them, aud so well in
keeping with each other. And yet
Margaret did not lovo him. Sho was
blinded to her own true feelings by the
stato ot tilings around her. iter sud
den and 'evident admiration, her broth
cr's enthusiastic friendship for him, tho
interest which ho excited in all who
saw him, gavo a sort of blind compul
sion to her conduct in consenting to
become his wife, nnd she tacitly al
lowed tho preparation for hor marriago
to proceed. It was celebrated with all
the parade which could bo brought to
bear upon it, and envy itself admired
what it did not duro to depiecate.
Margaret was queenly in her mar-
miago robes : but her eyo did not onco
turn with a confiding glauco to the
noble figure by her sidu. Thcro was
an element plainly wanting, which,
when present, sanctifies tho simplest
bridal absent, tno grandest ceremon
ial sinks into a falsehood.
It was a heavy stroke to tho family
whon thoy found that Leonard Bruco
determined to tako his wife to Scot
land. Thoy had itevcr dreamed of it.
Walter Greenwood had always suppos
ed that no would settle in America lor
Leonard had always lavorcd tho sup
position. But after a fo.v months of
journeying, and corresponding time of
rest and cnioyinctit, ho languished lor
his native hills, and beforo tho autumn
had ripenod to golden gfaiu, thoy wero
on their way to Scotland,
A few short letters from Margaret
told them from timo to timo of hor
prosperity, of tlio beauty of her Scot-
tish homo, of tho sweet pootio associa
tions which it recalled and strengthen
ed : but nover of her happiness. Child

no word had over boon written oxcopt
in tho most casual and indifferent man-
por. After a fow years thoro was nn
ovuiont bitterness, nun oven contcmp
tuousucss, in hor slight refereneo to
him which could not but pain those
who loved her. Walter resolved to
visit her, and after a fow months' ab
sence he, too, returned, sad and cvi
deutly distressed, but inexorably silent
as to his Minora appearance or appa
rent stalo of mind. Loving his sister
us ho did, it was not possible that ho
could still his trouble heart while there
was a shadow over her, and finding it
impossible lo foibear showing some, nt
least, of his real feelings al home, ho
went to Kuglautl.
Ilo was crossing tlio channel from
Dover to Calais, when ho observed two
figures on board, one of which remind
ed htm ot Margaret, ma lauy was
evidently disguised, for various unnec
essary mulllings shrouded her person,
and her faco was enveloped in a thick
veil i but tlio graceful turn ot tho head
could not bo concealed, and that was
Margaret's. Walter almost fainted,
but ill a moment ho laughed at himself
for Ins absurd tears, and withdrew
without haying been seen.
A second time ho saw them, and sho
was loaning on the arm of hor coinpan
iqn and evidently weeping. Her hand
pressed to her eyes, outsido of her
sister's I And yet again ho suffered
himself to be in tho presence of this
mysterious group without ascertaining
if ho knew them.
But this man 1 What could ho have

massive Iramcs, except tn (Scotland.
What could ho be to Margaret Bruco 1
Walter attributed his own fancies to
his disturbed feelings about Margaret.
ilia ideas were all tho more unpleasant
becauso he could givo them no form.
His picture ot Margaret a Ufo had not
risen into any shape, but a dim, toro
boding consciousness ot evil tilled his
mind, and when ho landed in Calais he
was nervous, worried and exhausted
by his own vaguo and restless cino
tions.
A fow weeks in Paris had a sedative
effect upou his mind. Tho thought
less, careless gayety of the Paiisianh
infected him also, and with ' youth,
health and wealth to enjoy, he became
the life ot tho circles in which ho mov
ed.
One night at a masked bull, ho ex
perienced a renewal ot his uneasiness
at tho sight of a figure whoso height
reminded him of tho Scotchman. Again
with him was tho lady whose motions
had seemed so much likeMargarct's,and
again ho saw her liana. It was like
his sister's and had tho samo shell-
shaped nails which in hers had been so
often admired. There was not a singlo
jewel upou it, not even acirclotof plain
gold, but high up on her arm, as it was
revealed by the falling back of the
sleeve, was a broad baud of gold, so
pure aud line that it needed no clasp to
retain it in its placo. Walter rcmcm
bcred thai he had folded just such a
band around his sister's arm on the
night of her mariiagc.and she had nlav
fully promised that it should always be
worn.
Himself closely concealed by his
mask, he availed himself of her com
paniou's momentary absence to address
her in English. His first accents seem
ed to penetrate her to the heart, for
sho uttered a faint shriek and fell to
tho floor. A dense crowd thickened
around her, effectually barring tho on
trance of the tall figuro which stood by
tho door, ilo had apparently no ap
prehension that the lady who was
fainting was his companion, aud he
made no attempt to pass. Had he
done to it would not hayo been easy to
prevent him, for his powerful frame
could have lorccd a way tlirougti
the crowd of agilo and sleudor
Parisians with small efforts on his part
waiter toro oit tho lady's mask, and
tho long, beautiful hair foil down in
rippling waves below her waist. It
was Margaret I Without waiting for
her to revive he took her in his arms,
boro hor, unresisted, to the street, and
placed her in the first carriage that of
fered. She did not awake from that
death-liko swoon until she was carried
to a chamber, and then sho revived to
.seo only Waltor. Ho forbore to ques
tion her then, but waited until she was
fully rostored, and a violent burst of
grief had relioved her. Then sho' sat
iu calmness until ho should speak to
her. Sho did not daro to ask him a
question, but hor eyes watched tho
door as if she expected somo ono to cn-
ter.
"Ho will nover come, Margaret, you
will see him never moro," said Waltor;
"or if ho indeed should enter hero I
would like to kill him upon the thresh
old."
Margaret shuddered, and then she
arose from tho bed, and falling on her
kuecs bofore her brother she faltered
out her long, sad confession, her peni
tence and her Borrow. They were
words that burned into that proud
brother's heart most deeply, but thoy
wero nover again uttered by her to any
luiman being, and never repeated by
him. He crossed tlio seas again, with
tho wreck of what was Ids sister, and
boro her to his homo onco more. Leon
nrd Bruco and his children were there.
Ilo could not bear the solitudo of his
desecrated home, aud ho had come to
leavo his littlo ones with thoso who
would lovo them, and then to becomo
a wanderer.
Margaret was dying. It was touch
ing to witness her meeting with
her children : but to Leonard
sho was impenetrable uilont. Melt
ed by her sufferings ; by the approach
oi tier dcaih which seemed now so me
vilablo : by tho lovo ho had lavished

tho perfect, tho wondrous beauty which
stole over her face, ho poured out his
lorgivencss aud his assurance of his ro
turned affection. She hoard him, and
turning her eyes to tho wall bIio utter
od a singlo word "Hector." It was
the last.
Leonard Bruco aud Walter loft the
country again togothor, and wandered
in foioigu lands for two yours. When
thoy returned, tho children wero trans

CON815J. A letter from ox-Congressman Pound,
of Chippowa Falls, in which tho writer
says ho will oppose Mr. Blaine and
support Governor Cleveland for tho
Presldenoy, was mado nubile last week.
Mr. Pound is perhaps tho most distin
guished republican in Wisconsin, and
his opposition to Mr. Blaiuo witl cause
a profound sensation throughought the
northwest. Ho has for years been an
unwavering leader in the republican par
ty, always stipportimng tho ontiro tick
et, nnd has been very prominent in its
councils for 20 years. Ho was a lead
ing member of tho slate legislature in
18GI, lH(iO, 1307 and 1809. Ilo was
elected lieutenant governor in 1809,
and was in 1870 elected to congress
from tho cighfli district, then embrac
ing moro than half tho area of Wiscon
sin. Ho Bervcd threo terms of con
gress, taking a prominent part. Ho
was chairman of tho Committee on
Public Lands in tho Forty-seventh
congress. At tho end of his third term
ho voluntarily retired from public lifo
to devote himself to private enterprise.
His repudiation of Mr. Blaino proceeds
from no personal griovauco or disap
pointment, but from a linn conviction
that the republican nominco is not tho
man for tho place. Mr. Pound has
thousands of friends in Wisconsin. Ilo
was a close friend of Garfield, and was
strongly urged for a cabinet position.
Following is Mr. Pound's letter :

so.
After much earnest and soliictous de

republican party, but rather to promoto
its true purposo and strengthen it for
future good work, to support tho dem

pelled to obey my own best iudgmcut
and souse of duty m this single and ex
Inordinary instance. Being a lifo-loug
republican and tho recipient of many
iistiiiguished honors, state and nation
al, it is due my political associates, so
often my cordial supporters, aud ray
self that tho reasons for departure from

No one will deny '.hat the essential
worth, if not tho porpetuily of tho le-
publio, depends upon the maintenance
ot political and peruonal integrity as
well as prudenco and justice m its leg
islative, judicial and administrative
branches. It is truo that detection and
correction of crookedness aud infidelity
of tho t-xcculivo branch of our govern-
inent are most dithcult while long mun
terruptcd control is certain to invite
abuso of power and opportunity. The re
publican party has enjoyed nearly twenty-four
years of continuous administra
tive authority, and whilo its history is
resplendent with glorious achievments
and hallowed by memories ot unrival
ed statemenship, patriotism and prow
ess, thcro havo crept iuto its human
machinery many grevious abuses and
ailment, demanding correction aud
cure, which may or may not bo accom
plished by tho party in which they aro
engendered. Happily tho work of
purification and reform has been pro

uato should bo a man whose public life
is a guarantee that tho good work will

best typo of political integrity, states
manship and republican principles,
Mr. Blaino is not such a man, but,
tu my opinion, embodies most in Amer
ican politics that is menacing to pub
lie morals arid integrity in government,
With n long publio career, mainly din
tinguishcd tor a sort ot (tccinmatory
and pugilistic statecrafi, ho is not tho
inspiration of a single valuable policy
or tho author of an important statute,
but, on tho contrary, has often suggest
ed and supported unwiso and bad aud
opposed good legislation. With a reo
om clouded by suspicion and accusa
tion of jobbery and corruption undo

onisms which havo torn and weakened
our parly in tho past, invading tho ad
ministration ot the lamented barhcld
with demands of personal vengeauco
so virulent ns lo inllamo llio spirit of
assassination and culminating in tho
uoicai ot judge I'Oiger and consequent
election ot Urover Cleveland govornor
of tlio iunpiro state. Mr. limine s
friends iustificd thoir deflection, which
defeatod a most excellent man, by tho
plea of lraud in ono proxy at tho stato
convention. Such excuse pales to
whiteness when compared with tho dls
honorable methods employed to secure
Mr. Blaine's nomination. Hero many

But returning to tlio candidate. The
acknowledged leader of his party at

pending tlio presidential campaign, so
diuhoartenlug to our party's causo that

Himself a speculator, enjoying n for

record relating to subsidies, class legis

readily satisfy the honest inquirer of
his uniform support of monopolies nnd
inditlercnco to the common weal. .Lit
tlo wonder that ho omits in his letter
to refer to or explain tho causo of tho
great disparity in tho distribution of
this marvelous increase of wealth accu
mulated during tho period he chooses
for comparison ; that ho fails to note
tho fact that tho oiio-thrce-hundrcdlh

ouo man, while others rank little below,
and his own palatial icsidencc, com

suggesting more than an an average

that ho is silent on tho subject of inter
state commerce, the regulation of which
is demandod by all producers and lo
gitimato traders. Great corporato in
terests command non-interforenco. It
was a lame defeuso of his devotion lo

ho feigned to rebuke, may servo to par
tially conceal the truo inwardness of
this affair, as did his garbled rendering
of tho Mulligan letters first mislead
many charitable peoplo touching tho

The disingcnuousnesb ot his letter ot
acceptance is further betrayed by its
significant silence touching the events
oftho past threo years. Bringing

would havo revealed the notion in

With no pronounced issues between
