Tho' It took so long to couio.
No longer Is needed sloop
Disturbed by vigils drear,
Which ail mariners havo to keep

"So. dear w Ifo." tho captain says,
'I heed not tho stormy weather,
To Clod belongs tho prnlso
Now that wo aro ngaln together."
S.conu'8 Komauco.
'Mark my words, Loono your 'ooau
Ideal you'll uoverfindj your estlmato of
a man Is to high.'
'No, Arthur, It Is but a great estl
mato, and you Ifavo no right to Judge
harshly, becauso I will not throw my
lifo away upon somo society man of to
day, I am young yet, but twenty you
know, and thero Is timo enough yet.'
'Yes, timo cnoush, Loono; but I a
grco with Arthur, that you havo to
high a standard of manhood, a romantic
school-girl admiration of qualities that
few, if any, may possess."
'Complimentary, very, to your hus
band, sis; but I wish for my husband
strength, either of soul or body, mind
far abovo tho nvcrage, and determina
tion aud purposo sufficient to ratso him
from tho level of tho human, herd; aud
marl; me, if I never find such an one, I
will over remain Lconu Light foot, an
old maid fond of tea, cats, aud gossip
but I sco Charles has brought my.horsu
around, so au ruvolr.'
'Tho speaker was a woman ot twenty,
queenly In form.aud whoso faco,lhough
possessing character beyond her years
stamped thereon, was radlent with
loveliness.
Robed In n dark bluo riding-habit,
which clung, gracefully around her
6upcru form, and tho face half shaded j
by tho drooping plums falling from her ;
jaunty cap, Leone Llghtfoot was indeed
what she appeared a surpassing love
ly woman; one who had visitors by tho
score, for sho was rich, as well as ac
complished and beautiful,
Three years beforo,sho had.bccu left,
by tho death of her parents, uuder tho
guardianship of her only brother, somo
ten years her senior, aud at his elegant
country scat in Now York Stato sho had
lived, tho Idol of society and the pot of
Arthur Llghtfoot and Ills pretty but
weak littlo wife.
Jietwecn tho three, Arthur Llghtfoot,
Leono and Mr3. Llghtfoot, wits tho con
versation held that opens tills story,and
tlio causo thereof wa s tho refusal by
Lccuo of tho heart, hand and futuro of
a worthy bachelor neighbor.
'Sho is lucorrlglblo, tho old Jiulgo
would havo mado a good husband.'sald
Arthur Llghtfoot to his wife, after they
ye Been Lcono mount and dash away
at full speed down tho grand nveuuo,
'Yes, sho'll never marry, I fear,'
sighted Mrs. Llghtfoot, who always
echoed tho sentiments of her husbaud.
In tho meantime, Leono rodo on at a
pace that chimed in with her humor,aud
being au elegant horsewoman, sho held
her steed well in rein, and enjoyed tho
springing fleet motion, as milo after
mllo was cast behind.
Hut her horfo suddenly shied violent
ly and gavo a treme nduous leap, almost
unseating his fair rider, who recover
ing herself, quickly spoko soothingly to
the frightened animal, and glanced
backward to note tlio object that had
frightened him.
Tho color fled from her faco as
her eyes fell upon tho form of a man
lying by tho roadside, and apparently
lifeless; but nerving hersolt by a hard
drawn sigh, tho bravo girl aprani to
the ground and approacld tho spot
glancing Intently down Into tho pale,
upturned face.
Tho features wcro moulded with re
markable regularity, tho partly opened
mouth displayed oven, white teeth, and
dark brown hair and mustache present
ed n marked contrast to tho whlto faco,
from which everything of color faded.
Dressed lu a light summer bult, Leone
even then discovered It was well and
stylish made, whllo tho gauntlet gloves
and riding-whip provoi that tho Strang
cr had been on horseback.
'Ho has been thrown, doubtless, but
God grant ho Is not dead," exclaimed
llio maiden, a kho knelt beMo tho
prostrate form, and drew aside the coat j
to place her hi ml upon his heart.
With l cry of terror sho sprang to
her feet, her hand stained with blood,
for from his sido n small stream welled
up slowly.
'IIo Is dead, and has been murder
ed 'No.'
It was almost a whisper, and tho
heavy lids raised from tho oyes eyes
filled with anguish, but yet strangely
dark and fascinating.
'Thank God, thero Is yet hopo, bo
quiet sir, I cmploro you, and I will aid
you all In my power, 'exclaimed Leono,
aud drawing her habit around her, sho
ran rapidly a fow pacc3 down tho road
to whero It was crossed by a small
stream, and saturating her handkerchief
returned, nnd without hesitation drowt
asido tho clothing and placed it upon
tho wound a small ballot wound in
tho loft sido over tho heart.
'You must keep perfectly ,qulet,and I
will soon return,' sho said softly,hardly
knowing whether -ho was heard or not,
and then In an Instant sho was In her
saddle, dashing at her utmost speed to
ward tho nearest farm-house.
Dashing llko tho wind up to tho door
and startling quiet Farmer Jossop aud
and his family nearly out of their wits,
Leono cried:
'Mr. Jossop, let your son ridoatonco
to Dr. Wells and toll him a gentleman
lies dangerously woundod on tho road
near Ulllsido Spring, tell him to como
thero at once, and you, Mr. Jessop,
pleaso como on with your carriage, and
bring all that you think necessary.'
Every ono in tho country know and
lood Leono Llghtfoot, and rapidly her
orders wero obeyed, which observing,
sho wheeled her foaming horse, and a
gaiu sped away upon her return to tho
wounded btranger.
Thero ho lay just as sho had left him,
but groanit.g slightly, and each instant
dampening tho blood-stained handker
chief, tho girl awaited tho coming of
the surgeon.
Would they ovor come? sho thought,
but at length, whon it seemed hours In
stead of minntos, tho sound of wheels
hroko upon her ear, and tlio next in
stant tho surgeon drove up at a rapid
pace
'You aro a noblo woman, Miss.
Llghtfoot, and if this man lives, ho
.owes his llvo to you,' said tho good phy
sician, as he approached and kuclt bo
sldo tho prostrate form.
'Rut will ho llvo, Doctor?
For somo moments no reply was giv
en by tho man of science, who carefully
probed and examined tho wound, but
then ho said slowly:
'It is a serious Injury ah! hero I
havo tho ball, yes, I hopo ho will llvo;'
and Dr. Wells took from tho wound a
small bullet, whllo ho continued:
'Now ho needs tho most careful nur
sing.' IIo bliall havo it. Thank God, hero
comes Mr. Jossop, and immediately af
ter tho carrlago drove up, and telling
the doctor to como on with tho wounded
stranger to her brother's house, Leono
ngaln mounted her horso aud rodo on to
havo all in readiness for ills arrival.
It was a week beforo tho stranger
was suniclcntly recovered to tell his
story rcgaidlng tho wound that had so
nearly proved fatal to him, and then by
careful nursing, ho Informed Leone,
who had been untiring In her duvotcd
caro of him that his namo was Uiarenco
Alnsllo was an Englishman, who
nearly a year before, had como to Am
erica, and purchasing a fow acres of
laud in tho West, made It his home.
IIo also stated that business had call
ed him to Now York, and that whllo en
oylng a horso back,.rldo ho had been
suddenly fired upon, was thrown to tho
ground, nud had au indistinct remeiu
bcranco that somo ono was robbing him
for his watch, pocket-book, and all tho
valuables ho had.about him wero gono.
That Clarence Alnsllo was no ordi
nary luan.Leoue Llghtfoot knew when
sho first sawjhlm lying by tho roadsido,
but that'Jio would over possess tlio pow
er to coutrol her life sho had not bo
lleved. Rut so It was, for each day had prov
ed to her that sho had met her beau
Ideal; and yet was ho fot her? Might ho
not already bo married?
Tho thought chilled her very heait;
and yet, when sho saw tho dark, fusel
natlng eyes turned upon hr with ad
miration and read or hoped tdio did
therein a deeper, holler fosllng, Ijcoua
felt happy, and longed to bo a very
blave, ami become a mere autumaton
to tho t"dpil"o of riaieuco -llusllo.
Niw it..ur Litjhlluut ai d lib i ulty
wlfo looked upon him n3 a poor En
gltsh emigrant, a pretty Western far
mer, aud did not llko tho idea that ho
should wholly control tho heart of Leo
no, for they wero not blind to her de
votion to tho wounded man.
Still thoy could not but admlro tho
courtous manner ot this stranger guest,
when, after slx.wccks, ho was suffi
ciently recovered to Join thorn in tho
parlor and at dinner.
That ho had been reared a gentleman
was evident, and that ho had traveled
and soen something of tlio world was al
so evident as was that ilr. and Mrs.
Llghtfoot had nover seen a handsomer
man.tthcy werocompellod to admitjbut
that Leono tho bollc, tho liolrcss, and
most lovely woman of tho day, bliould
lovo an unknown and poor Englishman
bah! sho thought, oven, was ridicu
lous. When tho trunk of Clarenco AInslov,
arrived, for ho had sent for it as soon
nslio was ablo to speak, Jrs. Llghtfoot
paced around it for half an hour in vain
endeavor to find something pleblan u
bout it; but tho trunk was a good one,
Fuglisli mako, nnd boro on it simply
the letters, C. A., England.
With a disappointed look tho littlo
woman ordered It sent to the sick man's
room, and sought her chamber.
'.Irlhur, Leono really loves that
wounded man, and what will becomo oC
it all?
'It is Leone's romance, littlo wifojsho
will recover from it; a fow tears at
parting; hard riding for her poor horse,
a fow sentimental songs, and all will bo
over.'
'Rut Arthur, supposo It should net
bo; suppose ho should lovo her; fo.r you
know ho'a poor and sho's rich what
then?'
Well, ho cannot havo hor, that's all.'
ylud Arthur Llghtfoot weut out for a
drlvo.
At length tho hour camo for Clarence
Alnsllo to depart; lor no longer could
ho imposo upon tho kindness of his host
aud hostness, aud determined to leave
that evening, ho asked to sco Leouo
alono.
With palo faco and quiet manner, tho
youug girl entered tho room, and step
ping forward, Clarence Alnsllo said,
feelingly:
'Miss Llghtfoot, no longer can I Im
poso upon your kindness, and to-night
I leavo you. Shall It bo forever.'
'No answer came, aud tlio English
man coutiuued:
'To you I owo ray life, and to you I
would dedicate tho years that yet re
rcmaiu. I am unknown to you n
stranger ln'a strange land aud you
have but my word for it that I offer you
a love that was nover offered to woman
beforo, a. hand and heart that was nev
er stained intntloually against a fel
low being. Will you accept what I
havo to offer?'
'I will.'
'You will trust mo; takomo as I am,
aud becomo my wife?'
'I will.'
No other words wcro spoken, but two
hearts wero perfectly happy.
Of courso, Arthur Llghtfoot and his
wife objected aud decidedly rofuscd,but
Leone was.dctcrmlncd. It was no ro
mauco wltli her, and ,wlien sho flatly
told them sho would marry Clarence
without their consent, they made a vir
tue of;necesslty aud gavo It, consoling
themselves with tho thought that, after
all, his being a stranger and it poor
man was really tho only fault they
could find with him.
At tlio request of tho parties most In
teiestcd it was a quiet wedding, just six
months after tho meeting ot tlio lovers,
and only Dr. Wolls aud Fanner Jess
op's family wero Invited. To this day
tho good old lady has not ceased to gos
blp about tho magulllcont trosscau tho
brldo had, and tho quiet happiness that
shono In tho eyes of tho youug couple
It had been decided that tho bridal
tour should bo Europe, as Careuco Aln
bile said that business would call him
thero soon, nud Mr. aud Mrs. Llghtfoot
had bscu pursuaded to accompany
them, so tho day after the wedding tho

Arriving safely lu England, a fow
days were passed quietly at tho hotel,
aud then, by Invitation from Clarence
Alnslle, tho party started out to visit

Through meadow land aud lovuiy
