TOO LATE.
BY JUDITtf.
Sitting In tills quiet, Rloorny house
alono this evening, I, a solitary, gray
haired, old woman, am keeping the me
lancholy anniversary of the event which
cast n blight on uiy whole life. Years
ago. I was the idolized child of the
klLdest of fathers, fiir Hugh Lux
moore, my widowed father, was repu
ted to be ll;o wealthiest man In the
county of Wicklow, and to me, Mar
gnrot, hU only phlld.ln my lovely home
of Eagle's Sfest, the time Hew by in a
Solden dreain. Uhe kuxrnooro's wero
a handsome rape, and, after so many
years, I ean say, wlU'owt conceit, tha$
did not prove ail exception to my an
cestors lu this fespect. My good narqa
ami wealth attracted mauy sulcors to
Eagle's Nest, hut among these I will
only descrlba the two who were at unco
the hnpplnesq and misery of my life.
I was slttlRQ alone, ouo mi miner eve
ning, In a grottQ by the lake, my favor
ite retreat, whet) suddenly a hand laid
llsntly on my rrn caused in 3 to turn,
and 1 behejd, Qastoo Lay standing be
fore me.
"I could not co away without seeing
you once more, my darling Margaretl"
began he. "Tho hope that you might
retract your cruel words has held mo
here, dny after day. Say that there U
ono smajl ray of hope far mel"
"Mr, Lay, I Intended, my answer,
given tq ypu a week ago, to bo final j I
expressed then, as plainly us was In my
power, and I repeat It now, that I dp
not lovo you, and can never bo you,r
Wile. Tho continued renewal of this
subject 13 most painful to me, and, if
longer persisted In, my freuahlp for you
will bp turned Into positive enmity."
"I vpuld not offep.d you for worlds,
Miss Lvigmoore; and as now my last
hopo has crumbled ,o ashes, I Will re
lieve you, of my ver,y obnoxious pres
ence." llut, lu partlpe, will you answer,
me 0V0 question?"'
"If reasonable, yes."
"Is any other un so fortunate ws to
gain that precious lOVo which Is not for
me?"
"perhaps It ylll strengthen what I
have already said to tell you that I a.tu
not quite hotrt.whole, Mt. Lay."
"Is U Uynecourt""
"I can gratify year curiosity, p.p
farthe? on this subject. But it Is grow
ing late. and I cannot remain out lunger.
Good. night anti, good,-by dj; lU'J last
nine, vision.
Two months ago, tUa pass'onato.rjes
pairing way In which tills man covered
my haod with kisses at patting woujd
havo excited my strongei-t sympathy:
but during the past few weeks his per
sistence In declarlnr: his lovo which I
never reciprocated, had made hiui al
most an object of abhorreuco W me.
Our (amllles hatlbeen friendly (or, mauy
years.and as a child I was foud of Gas
ton Lay, but Qothlag moro. During
the pnit season u now star had arlseu
In my firmament which eclipsed all pre
vious ones. This ata was my secretly
betrothed husband, Geoflry lJynec.ou.rt
Hler leaving me In the gtutto that
suumer evening, Gaston Lay betook to
his Qlub-rooms, to make a few neces
sary arrangements beforo his departure
for America., finding the readlug-room
emp'y, ho took tho opportunity to vlto
n few urgent letters. This occupation
linlslied, hu leaned back In his chair,
and burled bis fact) In Lj3 hands, lids
meditations wero finally Interrupted by
the enteranco of the c.viau of his un
happlness, GeolTry Djnecourt.
"Dynecourt," he begas, abruptly,
"in three days I leavo this country for
ever, probably. Fur ttnee ye?.rs 1 have
cheiblied the Idea that Margaret Lux
mooro would nnu day bo my wife ; but
now, alter a final understanding, I fiud
I have spoken loo late; her hecrt Is lu
another's keeping, and, though I have
no wofd of hers as proot, yet 1 feel cer
tain, that you Dynecouxt, uro the happy
possessor of what I considered my prUo.
Xeqvy you moro than tongue can ex
press, but I bear no muUce, and desire
thftt we part frlendii."
''I cannot express ran sympathy and
astoui;h:yeut at hearlug this, Lay.
never supposed that yours was more
than an ordinary frendshlp for Miss
J.nwnoore. lour candor on tho sud
ject Invites ray conEdence, which Is
tills t with Inexprssslble prldo I can say
Uv.t Margarot Luxmooro loves me
loves mo to that extent that she lias
txromlscd to he no olfior roan's wife.
This Is tho brlc.it sldo of tho picture;
bear he reverse., which I Impart to you
in uie strictest conlidencc. in our rati
lly, on my mother's side, there Is a
strcAk of Insanity; thcro Is no proot
mat it still exists: but m ono instauco,
many generatlona back, It has proved
hereditary. Sir IugH Luxmooro knows
this, and thereforo has refused me ihe
hand of his dauchter, And forbidden All
Jntorcourso between us. Were It aot
that Margaret loves mo devotedly, I
snouiu reel it my painful duty to uy
from the allurement of her lovely face;
but, thank God I she encouraged mo to
Rtay In tho hopa that her father may
becomo reconciled to our marriage. It
Is a hard verdict that ho has pronounced
over us, hut my dsrllng has sworn to
oe true to ne. Wo havo occasional
stolen meetings In which to discuss our
prospects, which at present looketi
gloomy enoitmi."
"Nevertheless, you aro tho happiest
man on earth, for you havo the certainty
01 mat gin's love. L will Keep your se.
cret Inviolable, Dynecourt. Zfut this
conversation Is to painful for both ot
us, so It had better ceaso. I shall bo
off soon, now, If you ever caro to hear
of me again, this is my address In New
lorK." And Uaston wrote a few words
mi n card which Geoffry placed with
the other In his card case. "Now
cood-by, old fellow I shall not see you
again, probably, as I must spend my
last days In tho old country with my
relatives in Clare, and shall go direct
ly iromtnere."
"uoou-by, .Lay. bo assured ot ray

other sldo of the water."
After a few more words of parting,
these two meu separated, never to meet
again in thlsworld.
The day after tho occurrenco sbove
narrated, I was again alone In my fa
vorite gntto, thinking, as was my wont,
of Geollry Dynecourt. What happi
ness would ho ours could ray father's
prejudice but be overruled! I should
never know a moment's peaco, if I
murrled without his blessing, but cer
tainly my present life know no clement
of repou. I was Incurring my father's
tierce anger on every occasion that I
met Geotlry, yet each day that pasied
without this meeting was ono long,
dreary blank for me.
lt this point, my reflections wero In
terrupted by n shadow falling across
tlio entrance, ot tho grotto. The nest
Instant Geoffry Dynecourt seized both
my hands In his, and smothered my ex
clamations of delighted surprlso by a
shower of kisses.
"I have had another proof of my dar
ling's constancy," ho began, and then
be dlscrlbed the Interview with Gaston
Lay. "i?nt Margaret,, I have many
gloomy forebodings that you may re
gret discarding n handsome, deslrablo
young fellow like Lay for tlw sako ot
an unhappy wretch such as myself,
branded, as H were, with the curso of
hla, ancestors. Margaret, the thought
that you miy ouo day bless my happi
ness lofevcr by sharing your father's
opinion couceiing mo drives mo almost
w(ld at times. As .true as there Is a
God in heaven, I believe that the curse
yt insanity died out of our family gen
erations ivgo; but you have no proot of
this, and your father may couvlaco
you that his Judgement is best."
"O QeoHry, how can you distress roe
so by theso suspicions? How often
must I tell you that, you are the light
and happiness ot my life, and I would
rather die VUan give yoJl up? It Is hard
to be cciUen.t with these short, stolen
visits, but brighter days will dawu for
us, Iuu.sure. When word of mlw)
forbids your presenco here, you may
know that J havo succumbed to my
father's will; till then, trust me, wilt you
not?"
"I wilt trust you forever!"
But Just then tho souud ot footsteps
put an end to our conversation and,
with a hurried, farewell, GeoUcy left the
grotto. I then flew to meet my lather,
who. had Just returned, from a three
weeks' visit In the north of Ireland.
The tlellght of s'elng hi in again put all
thoughts of Geollry out of my mind for
tho present, and wo went back to tlu
house, chatting merrily.
The next .evening was dark and.
gloomy, with unceasing raiu. I was
bllttng alone at my window, gazing out
at the very cheei less prospect, when n,
servant brought lu. a sealed envelope,
addressed to mo lu a hurried hand
which I supposed to bo GeoUry's, but,
on opening It, I discovered a cud bear

This xte I dispatched by tho mes
senger who had brough by card, llt
tlo guessing the elf sot ot my hastily
written words.
Tho following day passed without
Gcoffry's accustomed visit. This did '
not surprlso me;but wiion ft week elaps
ed with no tidings of Jilm, I became
seriously alarmed. At tho end of a
week I heard from a friend that Col.
Dynecourt has left Ireland for a year's
residence on tlio Continent, after which
ho Inteudod Joining his regiment In In
dia. The news struck no with stun
ning force, Geoffry gono without a
word.! What did It all mean? With
such thoughts coursing wildly through
my brain, It is no wonder thatlbecamp
Insensible.
For many long weeks I lay ill of a
violent fever, from whlcU 1 recovered
only to learn that during all that time
these had been no tidings ot Geoffry. I
finally began to reallzo, in a dull, de
sponding way.that be was either cruelly
'perfidious or really Insane I seemed
to grow years older, as tue ruomns
went by.' and I settled down into a
gloomy apathy which was painfully
disturbed by the death (of my father.
Shortly Deforo he died, he called mo to
him aud expressed contrition for his
narsn judgement oiueoury. jjui iuis
confession came too lato to awakeu a
ray ot happiness in my desolate heart.
After my father's death, peoplo said
that Margaret Luxmooro was In a rapid
decline, aud I sincerely hoped they
were not mistaken. Such was tlio ttate
of things when I received the following
letter, which flooded my desolato heatt
With light and happiness:
