rnehanging in his outward devoti-.n,
Mi.vi .Madison was not quite happy in her

many a time on her lover's handsome
face, and knew the cause too welL 1 ut
she only hut her pretty, smiling lips
with stern resolution.
-I will ni;ver say the word that will set

love him, and I will marry him, in Fpite
of what 1 know. In time he will forget
her."
Hut one day he came to her with a
face eo aa.L peiplexed, and troubled, ttiat
it startle I her.
"What is it. Tn?" she exclaimed, in
voluntarily, rising to greet hiin.
I have just heart so nething that
troubb-s me very much, Celeste," ha be
gan, unsteadily.' fcVou remember Orra

I lis face wns pale, his lip? trembled,
and, for an in&tant, he could not com
mand h s voice suilii iently to speak.
"Ihen, in a stammering, con used way,
he tol l her the who'e truth, not urea.u
ini that she knew it nlready, and, t the
end, w ith rteadier voic-e an l eager, earn
est eyes, full of courage now :
"I have toll you all, Celeste," he said
quietly. "1 love her, and, though I
never spoke of it to her, I bel.eve her
love was just as trn y mine. 1 bedeve it
is that grief which ha ma le her ill.
And now, kuowing it all, are voti willing
to release me from my promise '!"
She ha J stood listening silently through
out, her cheeks white as pnow, her blue
eyes 6- iatiilaung, her heart turobbing
heavily.
"ion love her so well that you are
willing to disgrace me, and to resign my
fortune and it is well worth winning,

her voic Was fad of such a pain that it
tided bis h.-art with p ty and remorse.
Not willing to disgrace you, Celeste
never that," he answered earn-atly.
"Let t"ie world think you threw me over,
isay whatever you wish, liut as tor your
money, yea, I would resign that, and a
thousand times as xntu-h, for Urra'a
s.tke."
He stood waiting for her answer, tut
it was many minutes before it ca-ne.
Mi.! ba 1 turned away her f i2, and ho
cotll I not s-se the struggle on those be.nl
tii.il features between the pnde, an I
love, and bitter, passionate resentment
that tore: her heart to pieces.
"Ten ernon,'' the spoke at last, turn

Her voice faltered, and she presse I Lcr

"1 cannot tell yo i whether it is pri 1?,

Eho went on, h-i vi.iec rawing so. t and

M.e could ncd utter prayers for his
happiness, l.ut f he gave lum her hand
for an instant ere she turned away. He

'lhe speaker wa liobert V.'aldron, a
f ne lookiug youth of twetdy ; theperoa
he a liio-ssed a girl of seventeen.
Mm w .s a fragile fairy-like young
creature, with Ftsrry brown ey.-s, chest-nut-cit'ored
hair, and a slender yet weil
luonldcd figure.
On the white sm 1 of one of t'.e far-aw-iy
avigator Islands in tha l'acii.c
Ocean, near a group of tall cocoaaut
trees, sto.il the twain, holding each
ouier's hands, while t!i light oi the ri
in mwu lay like a I -road bilvery pr.th
way athwart th-J wild-.-rness of waters.
VYaldron was a passenger, with his
fath'-r, a: oard the American ship Temp
est, Lound to the Sandwi h Islands.
A ii. out h previously the vessel ditd
been so badly damaged in a storm that
thu captaiu was obliged to anchor oil the
.Navigator Islands for repairs.
IU I rt, wandering about ono of tho
isl -s, came upon a small lrame hotise in a
c.oiringiii tbe thicket. As le had lost
ins way, he knocked at the door.
A melaiicho.ydooking elder'y man
answer d the summons, gave hinj the in
formation ha required, and inviied
him in.
1 here Tobert first saw Ida Gray, tho
old man s daughter.
It is needless to add that ho came
n a ly times after that.
He learned tint the island had been
Ida s dwelling -pla -e for six years, and
that her motner had died before she
came to it.
What hr parent's motive was in seek
ing this lonely a'oi ling-plce, far away in
tli j i acific .(.-can, she could never guess.
i 'nee she had questioned him, but it
had seemed to trouble him so much that
the resolved n t to do so hgsin.
"Tell ne vh..t you mean, Ida?"
l.'o!rt repeated, as her eyes tided with
tear.
"Because I can never desert pspt," 6he
sobbed.
" "You need not desert him," cried
Hoi ert. "lie cun go with us."
"No ; he will not leave the island."
"Then I will sty here," said the young
man. "I will build ahousabere, and we
wid settle on the island ! I could be con
tented anywhere with you."
Ida bric'htened up at this.
io and talk with papa about it," sho
sa d.
Kohert kissed her, and then went to
her lather.
The latter, who bad shown idngular
emotion on seeing the youth, seemed still
more agitated when llohert asked luui
for his daughter.
"Noi" he cried almost harshly. "You,
of all others, can never have my child
at least not whiie 1 live. It may be
fi15sh in me, but but I could not "ber
it you of ail others. If I were dead you
might t ke her and welcome."
Kobert joined Ida and told her tho re
S'ilt ci Lis ai-illati-ia to L'.-t faiLei.
Ida saw h-r parent not long a:ter.
"lo yon love that man ?'' ho asked.
"Yes", papa !" she sobbe.1.
"And you really want him?"
"lie wants me 1" was the womanly re
ply. "He may have you," Mr. Gray said in
a ho low voice.
"Good papa! Kind papal"
And she threw herself on his breast.
When she was gone to bed, and was
asleep, he stole out of the house.
Swift was the current among the rocks
off a certain part of the island. Mr. Gray
knew that he w ho plunged deep in that
place might never come up again.
The under-current would probably
carry the diver into some subterranean
water-cavern, whence ho could never ex
tricate himself.
"Ah," he muttered, "better death to
me at once than life-long misery to mv
child. He can nevor have her while I
live. I could not bear to look upon his
face, as I would often be obliged to do if
he were her husband ; for they would
visit me, even though I never visited
them."
Long he gazed at the swift water.
"Bd it so," he sail at last ia a eolea.n
vo:ce.
There was a splash as he planned into
the fatal current.
At the same moment a Etron young
voice was heard.
Iloltert Waldron, who had been as yet
unable to tear himself away from the
vicinity of the dwelling of his beloved,
had aeen Mr. Gray go out upon the point,
near which he was seated in the shadow
of a rock.
Now, as he made the plunge, the youth,
who had been a few yards oil, dived alter
him.
l .re Mr. Gray had gone deep enough
to be drawn into an under water cavern,
Waldron clutched him, and strove to re
gain the surface, with his burden.
They rose together, and as they were
rarr:ed further from land Mr. Gray en
deavorel to release himself troai Robert's
grasp.
The struggle was of short duration, for
it is hard lor one man to hold to, and
keep up in the water, another who ia de
termined to drown himself.
Mr. Gray h id forced himself from tho
grasp of Waldron, wh.-n the latt r saw
the unmistakable tin of a shark cutting
the moon-light'-d waters as it approached.
"A shark ! Here it comes 1" cried the
youth, as he aain clutched Mr. flray.
"Ay, and there are more. I wiil not
leave yoa here. If you will not swim
with 'n.c to that rock ahead of us, here I
will remsin, and we will both perish."
"No, no! You must not die ! ' cried
Mr. Gray. "It would kid my child. 1
wiil go to the ro' k with you."
Timber they swaui, reach. ug tli3 ro.k
in time to escape the sharks.
' Why did vou save me?" cried the
oil captain bitterly. 'Had I d.ed. yoa
wouid have been aole to have my daudi
t -r. I toll you you could make Ler your
wi.'e when 1 was d-j;vJ."
' And for that reason do you supposa I
would stand by and see you perish, and
not do my best to save yuU'.'" cried
l!ob' rt, shocked.
"There have be.n such, cases," s..id
the captain gloomily.
"Ay,' answered Robert. "My own
father once w as left to perish th .t w ay. '
"Your father?" cried Mr. Gray, snort
ing. "es. "Wars ago he was a seafaring

Iloltert drew back in sarpris?.
