Nov, t, yl from and MWiWM Yll LOST LILY. " Wo will have It out, now, If you please, madam 1" said Mark Arkwrlubt to Ills wife, Augusta. Ann mcy ci til nave it out witn n re- vctmauci', Ilulh were hlKli-tenipcred ; neither had learned elf-cnntrol ; and before tho scene between them was en ded, bnlb hod spoken words such as no two people who love each ether should ever speak. If two Indifferent persons quarrel, U does not amount to much Generally ; nut wnen two who lovo each other lndulgo in tho dangerous pas time, It Is frequently fatal to happiness. They had been niarrie 1 but a year, and the sweet clamour of rotuanco had hardly worn off. This was their first disagreement and It began In i becrct. Perhaps Mr. Arkwtluht hart ample caus to be angry with ills wife. I am suro that every man will think so, tbniiuh a woman's Judgment might be dlff-'rent. On the afternoon of tho nuarrel ho had asked his wife to drlvo with him, aud she had declined on that old plea the headache. Ho bad pilled antl net ted her, and kissed her hot forehead. Tltwl Cllinnlll f)il lutr finft litntnln I, air nml established her on the Iouiiro In her! room, with a pillow under her head ami a bhawl over her feet, hefolo ho went out for his afternoon drive. Two hours later, ho hnd occasion to croEs liyuo ram, iinu incio, waimnR slowly down ono of the most secluded paths, he Eaw a purple velvet skirt, bu- sides a black coat. Augusta had a pur ple velvet skirt and looked like an an. pel, her husband had frequently told ler, nil tinniiiiiiiui or urn Historical fact that ancels universally wear whitu, and are supposed to be above the weakness of purplo lelvet skirts. I 1 lie airs and manners or tlio man wero decidedly foreign ; he was hand some, and had an uneasy appearauco generally Indeed, ho seemed to bo con stantly looking over his shoulder, j Alkwiight paused In tho shadow of a clump of trees, and watched tha pair. I supposo " watched" Is tho proper word, though Ariiwrigiit prided himself on being an extremely honorable man, and would doubtless have knocked nny bodydown whohadlnsinuated anything to tho contrary. There was no mistaking thi grace of the lady, the wave of her golden hair. tho turn of her snowy neck yes, tho very wrcatn of purplo pansles on tier hat all wero Augusta's ; and in n mo iiient moro her husband heard her voieo. " Dear Arthur," she was saying. " oveiy moment for you hem Is fraught with peril. Loso no I i mo In gutting out of London." " Hut, darling," returned tho man, I " nothing save my love for you lias brought mo here; and it Is hard If I can nut have just this little comfort." They moved away down tho walk. and Arkwrlght heard no moro. Hut he had heard quite enough. Ho was in a wliito heat of passion. IIo dared not follow them and trust himself to speak. There was murder In his heart. He must wait a little till bis temper cooled. He went to & stable hired a fast horse, and rodo hill, till tho animal was ready to drop. Then ho went Home and ac cused his wife. No matter In what words they were harsh and bittor enough.lieaven knows, and tho vile epi thets he applied to her at tho outset roused all her haughty pride and resis tance to arms. Sho heard him through. Sbo attempt ed no defenso ; slio mado no denial ; but when ho paused from sheer want of breath, sho cursed the hour in which she had married him. Then she lutt the room. IIo bad all night to subduo ljmself, and if she had come to him in tho morn ing with any reasonable explanation, he would havo'listeued to Ler. But she did not come. After a while, ho sought her In her room j but she was gone. She hnd taken with her only a baro clmngo of raiment, and left no message to tell whither she was' going. Fled with her paramourl" Arkwright said, bitterly ; and then and there he vowed to givo himself no rest uutll he had found them and killed them both. He tried hard to put his vow Into exo cution. For three years ho was a wan dererseeking always bis wife and hor seducer, and finding them nover. At last he quitted wandering, and went home, llo was a very wealthy man now. Lands that he owed had increased prodigiously lu value, and there was no need of bis applying him self to business. IIo built a mansion and lived alone In it, with his books and thoughts for company. IIo had n re tlnuo of servants to anticipate his every wish ; bo sat at a costy table, nnd drank wlno as old as the hills ; ho drove horses worth a fortune ; he had everything that wealth could purchase, and yat he was never at peace. Though, for the wor'd, ho would not have owned to anything of tho kind. One day he was riding In the suburbs of London, and came upon a little child sitting by the wayside.sobhlug bitterly. She had her apron full of primroses aud vlolets.and a black and white kitten was cuddled up in her arms. Moved by somo Impulse which he could not have explained. Arkwright stopped Ills horse, and accosted hor. She sobbed out her little story with all a chil l's In genuousness, Her mamma had gone somewhere to carry work, and sbo and Spot had gono to walk by themselves, and they had walked, oh, so far I and now they were lost. Her namn was Lilly, nnd tha kitten's lmme was Spoltle, and Hint was all sho could toll to prove her Identity. Sur prised at himself for doing 90, Ark wrlght took her Into tho carrtngo kit ten and nil and carried her to his own homo. Hp advertised her, nnd for the first two or three days mado some effort to discover her relatives. After that ho did not want to discover them. Into his cnlil, closed heart Lily had crept, nnd made her homo there ', nnd the deso late, cynical man found himself loving her as n little before he had not drenm ed of loving anything again, After tho lapse of a fortnight, the Idea of Lily's leaving him becamo absolutely nnbear able. IIo got so nervous that he star ted nt every sound of tho bell fearful that someone was coming to claim her. She and tho kitten had It all their own way In Arkwrlght's House They strayed In the library, tin I npset tho books and papers to their mutual satis faction, Lily sat on Aikwrlght's kneo n great deal of the time, amusing her self with braiding and curling bis hair Into the most Rrotcs'juo shapes and Spot, with fellno nudlclty, mounted on Ills shoulder, and nibbled the top of his pen, or thrust her Inquisitive little noso Into his face, all unrebtfked. But one day, just as Arkwrlght was beginning to feel sure of the child, a lady came for her. This lady was tall and sllgflt, nnd wore black, and had her faco cover ed by a thick veil. Something In her low, sweet voice stlried the Innermost depths of Mark Arkwrlght's nature, but a fierce pang shot through him when ho saw with what eagerness Lily flew to wards her. "Mnmma I darling mamma I" sho cried, covering hor with kisses. "I so dad oo tutu t Now ooand I, nnd Spot, and papa aro all'tngedder I" Arkwrlght reddened. Ho had been weak enough to teach this child to call 1 i 1 in papa. He wondered what the lady thought of his presumption ; but sho seemed unwilling to linger. She thank ed him for tho caro he hnd given Lily offered to pay him for his trouble from a very slender-looking putse j and, be ing indignantly refused, sho turned to go. Lily was In her arms. Arkwrlght took a step toward them, and Lily threw an arm around his neck, drawing him up close, and face to face with the lajy. Through tho thick folds of the veil their eyes met. lie 6tarted back, pallid and trembling, "Augusta 1" he faltered, In a choked voice, "Mr. Arkwrlcbt I" She was the calmer of the two. A wo man always is In cases of emergency.. All the old love, fierco and ungovern able, rose up within him. "This child t Whose is it V he nsk cd. "Mino nnd yours," sho answered quietly. "Sho was born four months after our separation I wish you good morning." He caught her arm In an Iron grasp, "Stop I My child 1 Mine I" he cried, dreauilngly, as if it wero aa effort for him to realize It. "No, not yours now, she said steadi ly. "You forfeited the right to claim her when you drove her mother from her homo. Mark, at this time the last time I shall see you In this world I will tell yon the truth. Tou wero jeal ous of my brother I" "Your brother I I never knew you had one 1" "There was where I erred. Arthur was two years my junior, and a crm 1 misfortune placed him in a position where he was suspected of forgery. Ha was uimblo to piove his innocence, aDd he lied from mistaken fustic j. I was too proud to tell you that I was the sis tcr of one whom the world looked upon as a felon. In that I sinned. I had a secret from you, and upon that rock our happiness was wrecked. Thank Heaven I Arthur Is free now the guil ty party lias confessed, aud my brother Is a man once moro." Arkwrlght snatched her to his breast, and would not let her go. She tried her best to escape, but he held her fat. I suppose ho won her pardon soin way, for she remained at Arkwrlght Houso, and Lily and Spot remained likewise. Go there to-day, and you will see the happiest family this side of Paradise. The board of finance of the centen nial has fbund it necessary to cut down expenses, and the work has been com menced In earnest.
