LEILA SUMNE2 ;
"Ilo.ue afr.iin ; afUr five long1 years of
absence, to feel myself at home again ; and
60 Lltle change, ho 'one missing;. It is al
most too good, too much to bclieva."
Thus mused Adrian Yalle, as he strolled
thror.gli the quiet stixetj of his "T.Ilive
vilijg-e, the liiorulng utter his r- turn from
a four years' wandorinjj iu Europe.
Adrian was a yrnngf physician, an I he
came home, the j-rouJ bearer of certain
certil'icates of distinction, from one of the
most celebrated medical colleges ia Taris.
IIo was an only son, th pride of an tvg-ed
Father, and doting mother. And well ho
deserved tliis affection, both f,r his talents,
of which he woe justly pvou l ; of l-.is hand
some face, and fin.', ui tnly form, of h:3 in-dust-y,
witiioat w'.iic'r tai msi gutol
must lang.ii.a in o'jscurity, bui niijt of all
for Lii kind, loving dispoLlLion, and tcuJer
llOAll.
As he walkeil alcr.g the: familiar street,
the five yeax3 seemed but a day. The long
rows of houses, embowered in their lovely
groves of green shrubbery; every tree,
even th,- djwy grass beneath h;jf----t, s-?e.a-ed
the same h? had trod iive yv-:;:-s b.f.re.
Anl wre t'.io icrauts of tlis2 Loaios
changed ?
Adrian hardly diuod asi h'xiself the
qu.stien.
There was onjliotn , anl ono invnt'? of
tint home, whosj i nigj filljl ail Ids
ti o.igiits of whom he had drear 1. 1 day
an I night, and towards wliose dwelling lie
was slowly dire, ti.i his stfs, with ming
led feelings of fe-r, anxiety, and hrp?.
Leila S -.iai.cr had be.n t'.ie idol of hia
yui.Lh.
Long before hs left Lotu', s'io hid given
h'.m her saefel promise ti it no oLhjr man
Coid 1 ever cJi h -r wiTe.
As ha walked on toward tho be.m! Ifn'l
cottage where she lived, lu wondered in liis
heart if she wre changed.
Hi left l.er a chill ; s'.i3 h i.l g'ren h:m
her child's heart an. 1 rrpmUc. Aotdd the
regard him the s.ime ? Ha l no other im
age crept iiito Iter heart ? Ehj was a wom
an now ; w.t3 tins out. vara ciiango all that
awaited hint. .
Almost before ha knew it, he was poind
ing in front of the gate le.uling into Ool.
S'lmner's gt o m Is.
If j p lUjjd an 1 locked up the long ave
nue, the vows of oir ,j.tic inapl'-s on either
silo, the b-'uutitr.l evergreen hedge, the
saioolh elvety lawn, the fr.i grant flower
gudeii, the fe-unt iln, Si-arkdng and flish
ing in the mom Lug sua, all exactly as lie
had left it.
The mcel:mg-birl ar.d yellow-winged
canaric-P, Leila's pet birds, were hop. ing
about in their br'ght-hued cages filling the
air with their gay caroling-? ; the luxuriant
rose and hoaejsuckle vines shaded the
wi le piaz.za, wh ,-re he h.vl spent so many
happy evenings with Leila.
And would tdie knew him now ? sun
browned and heavily bear dad as he was ?
He opened the gate and walkjd rapidly
up the graveled path towards the housj,
juiit as a white-robed figure, slender and
grocefulasa willow, flitted past tho low
open win lo w.
The next instant he stood, within the
doorway, and a little brown silken heal lay
on his shoulder, a blushing girli3a f ace was
lifted shyly to his.
The lovers met, after years of separation;
and e.'.eh felt that the other's hoirt ws the
Bime; time or absence had no power to
change.
Adrian was welcome! by CoL Sumner,
in the same cordial, hear'y manner as of
old ; heft id long looked upon him as a so.i.
Time sped ou gilded wir.gs to the happy
lovers, and each day seeinsd to reveal some
new charm, some as yet undiscovered trait
of mind or heart, which s?rve I to draw
them nc.rer together, till tl.eir very exist
ence seemed blended into one.
Oh, this rosy-tinted, s Iver-line 1 cloud :
"Love's yovtr.g dream," it envelopes all
around, it hides all that is dark, it reflects
its brightness so vividly on all that sur
rounds us, that even the leaden soaibre
Lued storm-cloud, is hidden for the time.
About b'ix wnths P.fter Adrian's return
. he received a letter from one of his class
: mates, a young man who for a brief time
had attended thestme courser of lectures
i with himself, and was a graduate of thj
same college in France,
j liis name was De Vnnx, and though
A Irian had only tnown him about a year
lie greatly admired Lis t dent.
1 Socially, thore was about him a sort of
mystery a rqicea, reserved manner,
taouga we'd acquainted, caused a teeimg
of d trust or suspicion, a something that (
seemed to say, ''I am acquainted with this .
man, and yet I know nothing of him." j
lie w.-ote Adrian tha.t he wished to visit 1
America, and remain a year, perhaps twt
yeurs, or permanc-ntly if it suited him.
He came, and receive ! a hearty w elcome. ;
Adrian intro luci'd him to his friends. To
Col. Sumner, who had traveled extensively,
he proved a very ccng nial companion.
He was a splendid chemist, and his rare
research, and scientific knowledge of this
magnificent branch alone, charmed and al
most facinated the stately old gentleman.
He became a constant visiter, anl a valued
friend.
He knew from the flrst of Adrian's be
trothal to the beautiful Leila, but to all ap
pearances be neVer thought of her, hardly
noticed her presence, only to oViterve the
usual forms of politeness.
T'ut a close o'jserver would have noticed
the dusky fed light that gleamed from be
neath h'.s long black lash.s, when, believ
ing himself unnoticed, he would sometimes
allow his eyes to rest for a moment on the
slentler, graceful, well-developed form,
and bright piquant face of the lovely girl.
As for Leila, she once remarked to Adrian
that the sight of De Vau.t m-do her feel
chilly, she declared she could think of noth
ing but a serpent, ahateful crawling reptde,
whenever she saw him, at which Adrian
leoked horriGed, shook his head, and
assured hei that she s idly misjudged his
friend. .
Col Sumner was an old fashioned gen
tleman, and adhered stiictly to the rules of
Isospitality.
Tims it was that guests, whether their
visit was of lo"ag, or short duration, never
left hi3 house without receiving refresh
ments. LeiK's presence was usu.dlj required,
and on these occasion., De V..ax with true
French politeness, wcali al.-.-ays present
her a gloos of wine
For mouths together De VaaT, would
drive a-most daily with OsA Sumner, to
whom hia soeLty seemed al.:.ejt indispen
sable fo agreeable and f.iein.itjng could he
render himself when lie those to do so.
He seemed to m ur.t ii.i his extreme re
serve ami reti.tom.f only co far as concerned
his own iudiidu d affairs.
A few months after De Van e's arrival,
Adrian proposed to open an ofSce t:.g t"ier.
Theme was but one physician in thexlaee,
an aged man, atid n old friend of the
family. He warmly seconded the wishes ed
the youme; man's fatniiy and friends, that
he should le.ixitii in lusuati.-e Iowa.
Adrian consented willingly, for several
reiiSons, the elnef of whi'di w is, that by so
doing he could be near the object of his
affection.
De Vaux was a valu ible partner, and in
a few months the two young pr irtition
crs were aide to control considerable prac
tice. Mouths passed of unalloyed happiness to
the young lovers
The time was set for the marriage, every
prej ara'.R n was being made- for the wel
ding, such as beSttcd the fair and beautiful
bride.
Hut as the days wore on, it was noticed
that Lcil 1 grew pile, ner.ou, and res less.
At firet this f-xc ited no alarm, but she con
tinued to grow worse , she svmcd to lose
all her sprightlinrss of manner, to grow
thin and very pale She complained of
great weakness and lassitude.
Col. Sumner at last concluded to seek ad
vice. Cut the family physician shook his
head gravely, the attack seemed So sudden
and rapid, and as remedy after remedy
failed utterly, he was almost iu despair,
and acknowledged that he wa3 co.npltely
pnzJed. Adrian was greatly dijtresiod,
as the symptoms continued to grow worse.
De Vaux prepared a medicine to be taken
three times aday, aud her father persuaded
her to take it, though r,he complained of
feeling weaker after each dose.
What would these kind friends have done
could they have known that this very mod
icine which she had been taking for months
in different w.tys, soiuetinie'S in wiue, and
in other ways, tint this deadly po:son was
t'.e whole cause of her illness.
At last Leila was confined to her r.om,
and most of the time to her bed. No one
was allowed to see her but her father,
Ae'rian, and the two physiciins.
The family physician, Dr. Adams, contin
ued to visit her though he felt that the ease
wits- a hopeless one.
In agony of mind, almost equal to doath,
Adrian watched tie progress of the strange,
unknown disease.
It b.thled all their skill, and she liecame
so changed that her intimate friends would
scarcely have recognkod the once freJi,
rosy, beautiful girl.
It was plain to the distressel lover that
he must give her np; the chirk angel Death
had singled her out, and she could never
wear bridal crown on earth.
She was utterly unable to sleep without
the aid of a powerful opiate.
Thia Dr De Va- prepared and adminis
tered. Under its .-duence she would sleep
soundly all night, to wake nnretreshed in
the morning, more wearied and weaker than
before.
One night her father, who had never left
her beeUide all day, prepared to administer
the usu.J medicine before leaving her for
the night.
He did not see Dj X aux, when, on mak
ing hia naual daily visit a few hours before,
adroitly in ana jo to exchan ye the lit M
'paper containing the opiate powder and i
leave another in its place, more deadly and
fatal in its eJect.
Too weak to refuse, Leila swallowed the
portion, and almost instantly sank into a
deep sleep.
Leaving her to the care of the nurse, a
middle-aged woman who always slept in the
room, CoL Sumner retired to hisroom. Ex
tremely fatigued, he fell asleep almost be
fore his head touched thj pillow.
lie was awakened before daylight by the
hurrying of feetj.a 1 unusual noise. Spring
ing from his bed ho threw on his dressing
gown and rashel out into the hall-. At the
foot of the stairs he met Mrs. Clair, the
nurse, who, with lit id fve and motionli
lips, pointed towards tlie door of Leila's
chamber.
In an instant the aLirmed father was by
the bedside. There lay his child, just as
he had left het the night before, her lips
and eyes half open ; the long silken hair
hung down over the snowy pdlow, the face
colorless as tho linen itself, lie raised the
siight form, he shook anl tried to rouse
her, all his eCort3 were useless he was
dead.
Col. Sumner, distracted with grief refus
ed to see any one.
To Adrian the b'OT was equally great
Weak and sick in body and mind lie wan
dered about like a lost spirit.
About three d its, or the third night af
ter Leila's buria , the b r j ived lover worn
out with grief and lo ss of sleep, threw him
self, all dresses!, on his bed and fell as'eep.
He dreamed he was p using down the street
and tV. it he s it Leila follow Di Vaux into
his oiaee. He tried to go after her, but ti.e
door w.us closed and fatene i thro igh which
he h:il pa3-se-l. B it while he s ood look
ing at the door the window of tho labora
tory above his heal was raise! and the
girl's white faee appear .1. With a will
TleseocLing e-.Tpej.ssLou of bnth face an 1 mo
tions .--he reached her t!:ui whitj Lanli to
ward him and seo;m?d to wave or beckon
hiia toward her. As bhe did so, De Va.ux,
with a f. 0 black anl fierce with passion,
grasped her by ih 5 shoul ier and drew her
back. At the sauu Lutint ha awoke and
sprang from the bed. Iu a moment his
mind was cle ir, he knew he h id been
asleep and dreaming. He sat ilov.-n in a
largo arm-eli lir by tha open window and
t-i'jitglit of hLs drea.a ; it was only a dream
after all, but its e.Teet wi-j triple is tat.
He thought of his l.ist brde, of his groat
grief, till overcome 1 y emotion, he wept as
only a strong man in the depths of s. first
great sorrow c-111 we 'p.
At last he grew calmer, aal nnxble to
endure the silence of his chamber, h rose,
pat on his hat and walked oat into the Ki
l.'Ut street. Aa he stepped from the door
the city clock struck two.
Involuntarily, he took the rovd towards
their olSee, and in a lew momenta stood be
fore the door
Looking up he was surprise I to 833 a
light burning dimly in tiia windows of the
laboratory.
He stood gazing at the win low and .
thinking of his dream when the shadow of
a form passed between the window and the
j "De Vaux up at this timo ?'' he thought.
"I wonder ii' he is preparing to go out."
I IIo pushed open the door, and walked up
tlie thickly carpeted stdts. The door of
the reception room stool open, and he p uo
ed through, expecting to see Do Vaux, but
' he was not there; he laid his hand on the
' knob of the laboratory door, as he did so
he was startled by a deep heavy groan; he
listened a moment, what could it mean?
! Was his friend biek ? Ha-1 he a visitor or
' patient? If so it was a strange place for
I them to be in.
j He paused t. moment, hesitating whether
or not to push open the door and go in.
when the same deep sig iijg, almojt groan- 2
ing, struck Lis ear.
Instantly his hand grasped the door han
die. It turned, and the door softly opened
! a few inches What a sight met hia aston
ished gaze Opposite the door, on a large
table, originally intended for a dissecting ;
' table, lay the body of a young woman. I
Over it stood De Vaux. He was chaun i
. O I
the thin wh.te hands, and murmuring in a
low voice, word of tenderest endearment.
Every moment he would stop, ami bending
over tho still form, pre3 the moot 2aasion
ate kisses on the pale white lips. He rais
ed the beautiful h;a l to his shoulder, and
straining the frail form to his breast, whis
pered almost Eereely:
"ISIy darLng ! coma back to life and love
Oh, Leila, my own, my beautiful one, speak
to ine, look at me."
The eveUIs ouivere l.thetalo li-s moved.
Stupefied, Adrian stool rooted to the spot.
What could it mean ? Who was the dead j
girl? The name Leila! What Le.la? (
How came she here ? Was Dr. De Vaux a !
grave robber, ws that the body of bis Lei-
la? Dumb with horror and astonishment,
he stood and gitzed through the partly open
: ed door.
j He was aroused by the faint sound of
carriage-wheels. Do Vaux started; s.-izing
a large heavy blanket, Ua co.ii.nem; ed wrap
ping it around the stdl form.
' Fulling the parlor door softly together.
Adrian pos3ed out, down ttalrs inu the
street.
The avenue was thickly sludded with
trees, and moving back into the shadow ha
stool stid and waited.
The next moment a carriage drove up,
and stopped before tha door. The driver
got down, and putting his hand to his
.'.ill, l-i - u;...i.. ,,qj ......
turned
and opened thj earriaga door. I
Adrian recognized tlie man.
De Vaux appeared, c.u-rying in Lis arms
something wrappel carefaWy in a large
blanket and shawl. As he attempted to
lift his burden into the carri g a part of
the blanket fell back and revealed a face
horror of horrors-, it wa indeed the pale,
Lfele3S, dead faee of his lost L.ila. De
Vaux laid it on the seat, got in himself and
closed the door.
Tlie carriage stui te 1 ani relied almost
noiselessly away down the de3erted street.
A Irian Voile &tood and gazed in bewild
ered horror after the retreating vcldcle.
The moment it paused out of sight he
awoke from the benn:i:b-d stupor which
had for tho moment ptralyzed Li3 whole
beiig.
Like a madman he ru shed up the street
toward the residence ot Colonel Samaer.
To aroujj the yrlef-stricken father and his
whole household w.t3 his act. A few mo
ments sufliced to expliin the cause of his
great excitement.
Colonel Sumn -r, h-tlf afiai 1 t'aat Adrian
had lost his min 1, iu vde h iste to oSey hi ;
directions. He ordered thr horses to be
saddled, one for himself, a s con I for Adri
an, and a third for a stout, mid lie aged
man, who hal been a long time in his em
ploy. To .ether tlie thfee went out in pursuit of
the wretched man who had done them so
great an injury.
On the road they had time to discus and
decide the best course to pttrsue. That
De Vaux would attempt some desperate
means of defense was no more than they
expected.
After about two hours good riding, they
came in sight of the carriage. Luekily
they h id not mistaken the road.
Colonel Sumner, followed by the others,
ro de up to the side of the carriage, and or
let-ed the m in to stop.
The niau obeytfcl.
H aring the no.r3, De Vaux opened the
window on the side next to them aul look
ed out. Instantly comprehending Lis situ
ation, he sprung to the opposite door, twist
ed it pen, leaped to the ground anl .Lu ted
into a tnickct oi' pines whieh grow close to
the edge of the road.
As he disappeared into t!i3 thi.ket he
whirled saldeulyaud lire I two pistol shoU.
One ballet hit Colonel Sa niter's horse, in
dicting a wuid ne.ir t'ie shoulder, the oth
er just grazed A-I-t 'k .-.ir.. anj eligat.ly
singe I his h iir.
Do Vaux was never seen a-aln.
In the cirri ige thjy found Lrllai not
dead, but abve, an i su.Eciently conscious
to understand what hod happened. Though
to all appearance deal when placed in the
vault, she had never been entirely uaeon
scious. De Vaux procured keys and took her from
tho vault the night alter her buri d. From
that lime he h id been continually adminis
tering antidotes to the potion he had given
her, and with perfect success.
The poioou she had taken toward the last
was not calculated to destroy life, but to
! suppress coaseiou j.ie ;s.
They drove rapidly home, and sent for
Dr. A lams, and in a few hours she was able
to explain in some degree the horrors
thro.igh which she had passed.
Hut for weeks the spirit of the unfortu
nate girl hovered on the verge of the grave.
Gradually the d.sea3e yieldel to ju Melons
treatment, and she regainel finally her
health, buL it wa3 long before the was t'ie
same br'ght, rosy, hijpy Leila, once the
joy and delight of all who kuew her.
But time Wings all things to pass, and a
few mouths after t te supposed death of the
expectant bride, th youug lo .-era met, and
in the presence of a la. -go circl of kind
friends, were joined iu that holy, sacred
union; that real death alone can disunite.

Captain Boynton, the American itho
jumped from an oeein steamdiip off the
coast of Ireland, and swam thirty miles
during one of the most terrific galea of the
eeason, lias been giving so ue very success
ful exhibitions of his swimming dress upon
the Thames. Vast crowds of people line
the banks of the river every time that he
appears, and watch with the greatest in
terest his movements in the wa..or. The
cthr day he went down to Wapping OM
Stairs and put on his swimming clothes,
consisting of an india-rubber suit in two
parts---oae covering tlie chest, arms and
back of the heal ; theothe.' the legs and
feet. This is put on over an ordinary suit.
After being adjusted the pirts are indited
by four tubes, and when full of air the
weirer steps into the water without the
slightest fear. Captain Boynton raised
his nag, ate his lunch, read a book, blew a
horn, and went through a variety of per
formance to the great delight of the
crowds ns-mibled upon London Bridge and
along the bauks of the river. He was loud
ly cheered. At Temple Stairs he came out
for a moment's rest, without showing any
tymptotn3 of fatigue, and 60on after
plunged in again anl started for Putney.
The success of this swiuiniing dress has

Lcrly denies its existence. Spontaneous com
