v.-n alwaya astatnUug chaUane ta nay

Mai;y art evening of the Ion, awoet

with the gentle, little, old Creole lady,
hsrelf as frsilr and delicate ai a l;t of
:or old Series china, litenl:io; unrrcar

with flowers, Itrhlttd the old cathedral,
uad now nnd then lietvreen thelre.-V.iiathe
lines of tho liouaea the niaat.of the ships
atuhorttl lu the river showed sharply
silhouetted against theaVy.
Hero old Hjililjette would brine; madame
hrr el-its f ertncre and n-e would sit
silently together ns friends may, or quite
naturally, as If there could ha nothing so
i:if-.rctiti in the world. She would be
in apeukln of tho great su:;ar jilant.i
t.iti'itt on the Teche, where she was liorn
.m l tjrew te wninhvvi and married. I
thin X that ere : after tiiro senr years of
t :ty lifo ahit wu homesick for the waving
cane-fields and the country.
'Au." nho would say with a sigh, "there

tomh liiteao mauy little ninrlile houses;

been for years!
Ah, I Jenieniber how the roses and
jes-viiiiine lilitoiued there and how the
wi:id Mew over it. One would no, mind
lyinjr m if one might oulr ret there."
and m.nd.ijue would cmsa herlf sadly,
thinking, perh.ipe, how soon ahe mnat be
laid iu Mine r)iiief city of the deud.
Ono erciiiiirf when we 1..1 been Tery
quiot for .1 Imijt time and i-.i.idanie had
iiei-n .e.ikitic more than usual of the
oh aufdenly tin fast aned a i!lmoml
briMM-h fr ii hrr throat and handed It to
aw f ir my ir.srwvthni.
I had efleu not U ed it before and won
dered at its curious aettins;. Two ilia
niotuls of unusual aie and brilliancy
f rrul a contra alxiut which am.il.er
tnes In loops formed a raiu eudiug
in a true loser's knot.
"They aro funis of the Pierrepont dia
rin!.," ahe aiid In answer to tuy look of
ini(uiry.
Presently she stretchel forth her with
rrs.l oht baud aud took th brooch, and
'.:wiUu it now so it caught the litit and
tI:i.-.hod It, bark in dairying rays, now so
tht-ro was only a dull red jr!w in the dii
n tuds' fiery hearts, she told ma their
a', try.
Souietimasj hn spoke in broken Eng
li'h, HometiTies ohe spoke in French, and
otire w hcu ahe spoke of the old plantation,
lifo she used the soft, twrtt patois of the
creolo negroes.
Muit jears ago, she aald, when her
grxndfather brotight his beauttfal yonng
bride to the great nuir.ir plantation in the
Tirchc, he iiuve her, auion oiher wedding
Cifts, a Riipvi'b ott cf tUamouda, every
pieco of which bore the aame desicu
twin stones, he and she mi-ht faucy,
bound toKethcr la a trne lover's knot.
Ah, but they were happy, those two, on
tho rjre.it rich plantation. Cliildrou were
born to them, and the bright years,
tree con a ted, slipped by until, corning
tui'.Urnly as a storm in summer, death
claimed the gay young husband, and the
tomb f the "faniilie Picrrepont" iu the
little cemetery behind the rb;el was un
sealed to adtuir another tenant.
After that time dragged itself along to
tho wife whose heart, was buried In her
hnsband's grave and she lived only in the
memory of the time when he and she had.
be-u together.
P-r haps hrr mind became tinssttled
from too loni brootline on one subject;
;erhap the anj; U of the good God aent
her comfort so: who knows? Hut she
tame to believe that her husband was
traiting for her jnt beyond the gates of
death, not old as she had grown, but in
the beauty ami freshness of eternal
youth, and it was her faucy to go to him
when she died decked aa aha had been as
a bri le. She would touch the white
satin of her wedding gown with caressing
fuiKrrt and hold the diamonds against
her withered cheeks.
"Ah, but he will welcome imvtnlne
Aiphon.se," she would say, with a smile.
Filially, the idea that aha haxl changed
in all the years since Lis death, so that he
miuht not know her save by bis gifts,
took KeHsion of her and became a ter
ror not to l thrown off. Suppose, after
she was dead, they should refuse her this
pitiful handful of all the riches she was
leaving. What if she should fail to know
him and she should mi a the husband
she hud so loved lu that strange other
world.
T! e. th.-.ncht banntnl lier lik ft tor-M:-nt?nj
pirir, and almost on the day lie
'oro she diet! she took her two sons down
- tlio li:tle chapel aud on their knees,
'ore the holy mother of sorrows, maila
- 'lent swear upon the crucifix to fulfil
'rr Iat wish. So when she was dead
they put on her once more the wed. '.ing
'.Town, and faxtenett In her snotr-white
li iir the tiara of flashing diamonds that
had gleamed there, when it eras black as
rMcht. On breast aud throat aud wrist
they put the es .he hail w- n
t) em on her bridal day, and then the
coffin lid was acrewext down and the
"tomb familie Pierre pont" received still
another tenant.
There were only a few who knew that
a fortune In diamonds was bnrled In old
Mme. Piirreyout'a crave, and by and by
It win ha!f forgotten. The sons married
and drifted int the vortex of city life,
n-i uwi.iil; to tiie o!i lu iue forafew uccks
tU'.tl.ii tlij b'.i.L.-nr griudiui; sea-ou. aud iu
cor. rie of time tho estate passed iuto the
hands of a uew generation who knew
tiot'iing of the buried jewels, c-nve as a
hnlMeeTed family lojrend that tho old
ner-roes told them with bated breath.
I.adame paused for a longtime. The
nol-w cf tliO city Cocted up to tin on the
b.!cony. Somebody was gointi along the
street hnmmintf an air from "Xoruia."
"Amorsc those who knew of the burial
of the ti. tmonds in the tomb," she said
after awhile, "was the son of au old
nel-hlior on the Teche, named Francois,
who, l ie the ricrrcponts, tlrifted iuto
K:w Crlaans. lie had not been fortuual.
lie had seen his plantation, acre by acre,

was his oxvn best pat rou. and grew grayer

"II Lad brought with LIm from the

japonic in an earthem jir, ami around
her he wreathed all tho love and t cud er
nes tuat ha Blight have civeu, uuder
happier auspices, to wife and child and
home."
Madime ceased sneaking for an Instant,
and then she said abruptly:
"M-a ami. the wisest of us do not
know how such things happen. It is In
the hands of le bou iJieu, I say. and I
should know, fwr I married the inau I
loved, but one drty there hpr-ned Into
the shop a fine rn'ien, young and hand
some and iray, n r""l parti for anyone.
"And what w..l he Lave Is it Ijimar

Is as If Le had been seeking her all his
life. Ms fol, it is love! And Celeste
"Ah! there are no young demoiselles
like her now. She was enough to make
any msn forget when once he had eeen
her eyes. Eh bien, as I was saying, the
handsome m'slen was entranced. Every
day be Cads his way to the shop, nnlil at
last it happens as one mi-lit aupiKtse and
he wishes to marry Celeste. Very w ell.
Hut it happens also m'.sieu has a mother
who is aghast at the Idea.
"What! her son marry a shopkeeper's
daughter! A s'rl wi.hout a d-.t: lu vaiu
Is it represented to ber that Francois is of
the Ilr.-.iouots, that Le Las met with
misfortune.
She will not listen. Francois is in de
spair. It will break Celeste's heart. Day
by day he sees her grow thinner and the
color fades out of her cheek. It Is b:ore
than ho tan stand.
" 'Do uot despair, my child. he cried
one day. kivsic Ler adieu, ie bon Liieu
will provide.'
"That idcht he started on a Journey
hack to the old home. I could fancy how
every familiar landmark must havesmnt
Linilike a blow, and called out to him
that be was Kolng l-ack to dishonor.
"IIaknewth.it within the 4d Pierrepon.

he reached out his Lands and took It It
was treasure Koing to waste, at best,
there in the crumbling ld tomb where
the green lizards sunned themselves and
the grass struck its roots deep Into the
crevices letwtn the bricks.
"The mart old woman and her foolish
whim were already half forgotten. No
one came to the tomb to pray or weep,
even on All Souls" day no one brought

"Waited A governess at Brayton
Ixde. Oua capable of teaching music
and languages, and bringing good refer
ences." "At Brayton Lodge! Dear old Bray
ton, my own home!" cried Lucille Bray
ton, throwing down the paper and burst
ing into tears. "How csgi I ever go back
there as governess, and see It owned by
strangers; aud yet, what else oCersiUelf?
I cannot f-tarve."
Almost desperately she sprang up, and
walked about the little room for a mo
ment, then picked up the paper aud re
read the advertisement.
"How I wonder who owns the dear old
place now!" she mused. "Is there any
girl there now who is as happy as I was
who, perhaps, has my room, loves the
flowers aud walks as I did. Has a lover,
perhaps, and rows with him on the lake
in the moonlight evening. Oh, Loyd,
Loydl Why do I torture myself in this
way" she broke off, suddenly throwing
herself 4n the little old lounge, in a- pas
sion of tears and grief. -1
Hera was truly a sad story.
- Ten years before, a petted only daugh
ter, surrounded with. every luxury and
aClanced to one whoee devoted love she '
fully returned, sorrow had singled .her
out as a target for its arrows.
Firat, her lover was called abroad, and
In mid-ocean went down with the fated
ship on which, he Lad taken passage.
- Then, juat as her heart seemed breaking
with, its weight of grief, a terrible blow
fell over her home uone other than the
death of her father by Lis own Laud, aud
the sudden terrible knowledge that he
had succumbed, first to one temptatiou
and thou to another, intending iu time to
leplace all, but driven to desperation at
last by the accumulation of bad luck and
wrongdoing.
To make what reparation they could,
the heart-broken widow and daughter
gave np their home ami everything they
possessed, and then went away to cover
up their shame and grief in a part of the
world where they would be strangers to
all.
The year that followed had been one
continuous struggle with sickness and
poverty, in the midst of which Mrs. Bray
ton quietly folded her tired hands over
her broken heart and died, leaving Lucille
alone in the world.
After that, overcome with loneliness
and a longing to two her old home, Lucille
tlowly drii'ted back to the place of her
kPPy girlhood; .Lad just to night arrived
In the little village, taken a room in the
hotel, aaked for the paper, and read of
the KOVerness wanted in Ler old Lome.
"I can at lea&t go and see the dear
place," t.he said to herself the next morn
ing, when after a ui-ht spent iu sleepless
sad memories, she ate her breakfast with
out seeing one familiar face aud ttartcd
off.
"I don't suppose I will do, because my
references are too far away, and I will not
let them know who I really am."
How familiar was every turn and by
way of the little Tillage and the road
leadlngoffto the Lodge. Lucille's eye
were so continually blinded with tears,
that she hardly noticed tho few passers
by. and no ono noticed her.
Veiled, and in her plain black gown, she
bore little resemblance to the lx-.iutiful
Lucille HraTton who, iu other years, had
dashed gayly over these roads on her pony
or in her phaeton, the admired of all ob
servers. At last the dear fsmlHar towr, peeping;
above the trees, rose in sight, and then
only a few steps, nnd she was at the pates,
stretching hospitably open as in oldeu
times, with the smoot h white drive rolling
away beyond under the shady beeches.
"I must I mint control myself," nho
murmured, leaning for a moment against
the lichen-covered stouo trate-pillar.
"But. oh. Low hard it is! And how little
everything Is changed! I hail hoped to
Cud it so, and yet Low doubly hard it
makes it V. lrf-ar! '
Slowly she went on, winding in and out
the wide shady drive until the house was
reached, aud every step revealed Low
UnUtly time had touched the place.
The new owners had uiado no changes.
Evry seat, arbor, aud statue were the
same, aud unchanged ns to position.
Two children on tho shady stone porch
sat on the s.ime ornameutal settee she
had alwsys used, ana" at the sight of Ler
one of theut jumjied up.
'I s "poet you're our new governess. Do
you want to see mamma?"'
"Yes," answered Lucille, with a great
exertion at sT-adyiu- her voice.
Abd the child at once disappeared into
th house, leaving his sister staring shyly
at the stranger.
A ploasaut-faced lady soon appeared la
the doorway.
"Will you walk in, please? It is Tery
warm without."
i.ucille did so, more by sense of feeling
than sight, for memories were overpow
erine;. "You come in answer to the advertise
ment. Miss "
"Lathrop," said Lucille faintly, and
pushing aside her Teil with reluctance ns
she remembered ber fear-stained face.
But the darkness of the room only re
Tealed its excessive pallor nothing
more.
"1 would be pleased to secure the po
sition; aud can teach music, French, Ger
man, and with a little study, Latin. But
1 am a htranger here, and my references
are from places and peopleso distant that
I did uot kuow whether you would be
willing to accept them."
- Two keen bright eyes had been search
ing her face as she spoke, and their owner
was making up her mind in a hurried
decisive way characteristic of her.
"I think I would be willing. Are joa
fond of children"
"Yea, madame."
"And have taught before"
"For three years, in a family from
whom I bring a recommendation."
A few more quest ions and answers fol
lowed; and then, almost before Lucille
realized it, she was engaged, shown to
ber room, and a boy dispatched to the
Tillage for her trunk.
"Can it be possible, or am I only dream
ing!' she murmured, sinking into the
chair by the window, into the very room
that had belonged to her governess.
"Father, mother, do you know that I am
nt lmine Home! Oh, what a bitter
mockrry! I muat go away again! I can -never
bear it!"
But she did bear it, and .oon learned to
love those who now called it home.
Mrs. Morton whs a widow, with a frank
Impulsive beart.that was boon won hy the
stranger; and tho children fell promptly
in love with their new governess, who
never grew tired of strolling, alout the
grounds with them; and telling the most
wonderful stories, of how another little
girl had once lived in their house, and
done so and so.
It was a life nenrer happy than any she
had lived for ten years; ami many, many
times the truth hung to her lips when
talking with Mrs. Morton. But she
never spoke it.
"Such a piece of news," said that lady,
coming in one day with an open letter in
her hand. "My brother in couiiny
Lome."
"Yes," said Lucille, with po" it e interest.
"The one you call your favorite Is he
coming to visit you?'
"Visit me Why. this Is his honse,"
langhed Mrs. Morton, throwing down the
garden-hat. "And with such a lovely
home as this, he leaves me to do ns I
pleaBe here, and goes roaming around the
world after a girl he loved years ago.
This was her home. Wbv, Miss Lath
rop" "Oh, it is nothing," interrupted Lucil,
ghastly pale. "Only a Hitch in my side.
I have them frequently. But I was inter
ested in your story. 1 did not mean to
interrupt. Go on, please."
"I really don't know all the particulars,
often as I have heard them," said Mrs.
Morton. "But they were engaged, and
aa I say, this was her houte; but her
father forged or something, and killed
Limself.and the girl ami Ler mother gave
np everything and disappeared. But I
forgot to say that just before that my
brother bad been called abroad, and was
reported lost at sea, but had escaped '
death in the miraculous way that tciiie
people "
But with a startled cry she interrupted
herself and sprang up, just as Lucillo
sank from Ler chair to the floor In utter
insensibility.
It almost seemed as though life would
not return, but Mrs. Morton, together
with the servants who rushed in at her
frightened cry, were indefatigable, aud at
last they were rewarded. i
"Do not speak!" Mrs. Morton ex
claimed, as the gaze on her face grew
rational, and the white lips began to
tremble. "I guess what you would say.
You are Lucille Brayton. Cloe your
eyes if I am right."
Instantly the lids fell, but as qtiickly
II ft ! again.
"Say it ajiain." the faint voice pleaded,
in spite of commands of silence. "Loyd
lives my Loyd Loyd Murray?"
"Yes, yes. But you inixst betjuiet. I
will not talk to you," cried Mrs. Morton,
who was in a perfect delitiuiu of Joy and
excitement.
- But Lucille did not want her to. That
one deliriously joyful truth was enough
to feast on for the present, and gladly aLe
closed Ler eyes and lay quiet, while Mrs.
Morton, calling her carriage, drove hast
ily into the village and sent this startling
announcement to Ler brother, Loyd Mur
ray: "Come at once. Lucillo "Drayton ia
with me."
And cannot you Imagine,, how, after,
reading it, the speed of lightning seemed
but vnail's pace to fcim, who, since Lis
wonderful escape from the sea, had never
censed looking for the one who, b-licv:ns
Lim dead, and curing for naught else iu
the world, had so sedulously bidden her
self away.
Their meeting was far too full of sacred
Joy to bear either witness or description.
Mrs. Morton welcomed her brother at
the Fteps, saw him go iuto the parlor, and
saw Lucillo rise from her chair, looking
like an angel in her white draperies nnd
the sjeechles.s joy in her pale face.
Then she hurtied away with her eves
full of happy tears for their joy, and tried
to explain to the astonished children how
Miss Lat hrop was not Miss Lathrop. aud
was going to le their auntie very soon.
"Did you not notice how like old times
everything looked?' Mr. Murray asked
Lucille, as next day they strolled about
the grounds aud lake shore, jutt as they
Lad done years !ofore.
' Oh yes, the moment I reached the
gateway; ami while, of course, I was glad
to see it so, it nearly killed me with mem
ories. I thought I could never !ear to
stay here," auswered Lucille, who still
could not realize the wonderful truth
that her lover, so long mourned as dead,
was beside her.
"I reached here nbent six or eiglit
months after you left, and finding tha
Louse just as you left it, still in the t.red
itor'a hands, I purchased it, and then bo
tan to look for you.
"Why, my darling. It seems to me that
I have ransacked the entire world in
searching for you, and advertised far arid
wide. How could I have failed in finding
you ?"
"F-asily Loyd. We went so far and
among such entire strangers, nnd never,
save when I was out of work, and looked
at advertisements, did we see a paper.
No one gave them to ns, and we could not
afford even the cheapest. And to think
all that time yon were keeping the old
home and looking for me!"
She burst into a passion of tears, purely
Joyful, aud clung to him as if iu terror
that the horrible post would prove slill a
reality, and the present but a delirious
fleeting drrnui. '
But the claspof his arms.and thesonnd
of his tender voice, were very reassuring,
anil plessantly she was smiiing through
her tears as lie talked of what they w ould
do.
"And I'll whisper a little secret of Hel
en's, which she has perhaps not told you.
She goes to a home of her own in just a
litt le while, and we will have a double
wedding, and then, my darling, t he old
Lome is once more yonr own nil your
own and you are all my own, after years
waiting my own sweet, sweet wife!"
