Slid sat on tho shore of the sea anil idly tlnew pebbles into tlio surf as It heat upon the rocks and almost washed her feet. Tho s un was going down In n mass of lurid red clouds, tliu eastern breezo was freshening along the bluffs, and now and then a stray drop of rain fell ou her. Geraldlno Vano drew her shawl a round her, with an Involuntary shiver. Something there was In tho night clos ing around which reminded her of a dead day. Her mind went back to tho tlmo with a throb of pain. She would gladly have avoided tlio retrospect but who can control thought? Eleven years ago she was sixteen. What till old, old woman sho must ho grown now I Sho stretched out her hand through tho shadows and looked at It earnestly, half expecting to sea It wrinkled and withered liko old Grand mother Ilolt'c, aud sho was upward of ninety. Eleven years ago she had walked tlit'so very sands, just as golden now as then Just so tho summer waves had broken their hcaits In music on thu shore, lust so the salt sea-hreezo had swept her cheek and tossed the white foam-caps over tho sunken rock outsido the harbor. Hut then Thane Kichmond was besldo her, and joutli, and hopo, and love, were lier's, to say nothing of a tiut which was perfect. What more could a woman ask for ? They were a pair of lovers just be trothed, loving each other as no other lovers had ever loved before so they said and thought, and It wasjvery realjto them, and wondrous sweet, as It always is when the dream is now. llut, after all, there was somo causo of (.adi eas; and 'heii would love bo love If there weionot? Iticliniond was to leave her In a week for China, to bo absent tluee years; lor his fortune was yet to make, nnd ho was too proud a lad lo accept a wife whoo possessl ins were greater than his own. Ueraliline was an heiress, o It was uut of question to marry on nothing, and live on cheeso tinriims and ises in a vine-wreathed cottage, as both the young people would h ive neon glml to (In. Colonel Varley, Ueralillno's father, was a high. bred old tellow, and he had said to audacious young .Thane Iilc.li nioiid, when lie had asUed him fur his daughter: "See here, young manl money Is the thing needed nowadays, and my daugh ter has always worn her diamonds and ridden in her carriage. Slie. must not marry beneath her. When you can come to tne with a fortune sulllcient to support a vlle, aud keep her in the gewgaws tliiit a woman duds necessary now, UeiuUtliie Is jours ; that is, if she has not changed her mind and mar l led somebody with a fortuo ready, made " All of which was very cruel In the unsympathetic parent, but thu parents of heroines have alwajs been made of stern stuff, you know. So it was decreed that Thane llich. tmitid should go out nud seek his for tune among the Celestials, nnd Genii dine was to go to Paris aud finish her education. llut they were to write so very often twice or thrice a week, which Vfaa very moderate for lovers, and, beildo the sea, with tlio dim light of the stars around them, one night lu June, they said their farewells and vowed to ue true. Tho lonely woman sitting there to. night on the shore, aud going buck over the waj B sho had traveled, drew a sigh something of the temlerdest of that olden time lingered with her still, aud Hushed her pale cheek with a sott, bright crimson. llut to return. For two years after Thane's depar ture hii letters had beeu regular, aud they had satisfied tho heart of the wo man who had loved him, nnd not ouo mil n in a bundled, be lie never so loyal mid tender, can wilte n lettu of love which will Just, meet the requirements ot n loving woman's nature without be ing silly. At tue end of this tlmo the letters stopped. No word oi explanation niithiui! to break the dull bUspeusu which is always so hard to bear. Ger.ilduie, prouil though she was, wrote to Tlmtio to ask the cause of his strange silence. She lecelved In return a few briet lines he was weary of a yottliful folly, asked her to forget him, and volunteered thu information that he was soon to bo married to tlio daughter ot nil attache of tho American legation at Pekln. Well, such breaks as this are happen ing all the time around us; they uie common as births, and excite about as much attention. The world dues not sutler the anguish of heart which some times comes of them to people so unfor tunate as to be possessed of feellufs; aud so the world wags on as ever. Ueraldlne was one ot tlio?e wretched women who cannot transfer (heir affec tions as one would tiatisfer a house or other piece of property, aud la conse quences 6ho suffered deeply. Loving once wllb her was loving for all time, and though she had suitors by the score as what beautiful and weal thy woman has not? she turned trow them all In quiet coldness. Alter a while Colouel Varley took tho matter iu hand. No daughter ot his should pine her life away tor a beggar ly rascal like Thane Richmond, he said, nud Geraldlno was commanded to mar ry Archibald Vane, at that tlmo the wealthiest nud most dovoted of her ad mirer. She demurred. Sho told Vano plainly that she should never love ngiin ; but he was deeply Infatuated, and would risk anything for tho sake of possessing her. So they wero marrjed. Mr. Vane's vwlfe was tho envy and admiration of nil tho country round about Templetnorp. Her houso was iv palace everything about It was superb ' in Its appointments ; she had notnwMi ungratllied, am) her husband was as de voted as a lover. Rut Geraldlno never varied from the cold statellncss tviiich had fallen ou her like n mantle nt the altar. Often and often the kind, honest heart of her husband ached for ono lov ing word from the cold lips whoso kisses ho would have died for j but he was true to his agreementhe never com plained, and ho did not try to force htr lovo. When her child, her beautiful Annie, was born, she softened toward hor hus band In some slight degree. The new nnd wonderful hnppjness which mother hood brought her made her kinder to tho father of her child. And poor Vano was raised 'to a felicity altogether unknown to him when she put the littlu girl in his arm nnd suffered him to kiss thu white check he bad dared to draw to rest against his shoulder. As Annie lived and developed char acter she was tho strangest of nil child ren. Old far beyond her years, lovely iu fa ci nnd gentle in temper, full of. quaint sayings, and caring for no play mate but her mother. As Geraldlno sat there on the sea shore thinking over these things lh.tve told you, something crept up beneath her shawl, iu the timid, coaxing way one sees sometimes iu a pet animal. Mrs. Vane folded her arms around the little creature, and kissed the up turned white forehead. "What Is it, my darling?" looking down at the serious, questioning lace lifted to hers. "Mamma, tell mo truly is thero any thing In dreams ?" "My love, do not bother your little head with such Idle things. Why do you ask?" "Ilecause, when you left mo asleep, mamma, I dreamed of sinking ships, and sharp locks that tore the great timbers apart', aud then they went down down down, and, oh! mammal 1 hoard tho ciles of the drowning men, uud I saw their dead, pale faces, ami papa's among them I And I screamed, and nurse woke me aud told me I hid only been dreaming I" In spite of herself, Geraldlno, shud dered. She was not iu any degree su perstitious, but there was clwnys some thing nbout this child's weird Inncies which Impressed oue. She held the. slight form closer to her side, nnd even as sho did so, far over tho water came the dull boom of n gun I "It is the ship 1 and they will be drowned 1" cried Annie, starting up. "See, bee I It is on fire, and it is float ing In ou the rocks below Eggstone light I" The child spoke truly. A great ship an ocean steamer wrapped In flame and smoke, was drifting shoreward. A ptojectlng point of land just then hid me steamer partially from view. Annie sprang forward down tho rocks like a cat, from ono rock to another un til she was yards from thu shoro, and the Incoming: tide, now growling fierce aud nugry. was beating around her. Geraldlno followed with terror In her heait. Uieiiclied with sprny, the child was clinging to n pointed rock, leaning over witli wild, fascluated eyes fixed ou the burning ship. "It Is my dream over again I" sho said, solemnly. GeralOluu gathered the child In her arms, mid nil unmindful that the tide was cutting them hopelessly off from the shore, she watched tho fated ship. Ono mass, of lurid flame, her scorch lug eldes hung with fated human be ings, even there she could hejr their vain cries for assistance. Suddenly the blazing hulk reeled and shuddered ; for nn Instant the flames seemed to die awny, ami the smoke low ered" its blood-red banner ; then nil waters for fathoms around seemed to scintillate with liquid fire I One fearful plunge forward tho 6hip gave, one cry of mortal despair went up to the black heavens, and thu tide rushed in like squadrons of white, horses, each o'.u eager to win the race I tit was nil over, and the waters ivero full of despairing, dying men fighting vainly for that whbli was lost to tnein forever life I Toward tho rock where Gernldlnp nud her child still clung, drifted um of the lll-sttuied ve-sol's passenger. One arm disabled by n blow from some of the burning ilgglng, he was fast losing strength tu battle witli thu waves and death was very near him. Tlio woman tore off her silken scarf and lliing.it to ward hiiu.

"Geraldine," he said, aa If they bad been parted only a day, "wo shall per ish here. Let us have no pride between us. You thought ue false and so mar ried another man?" Yes." "Vmi wero deceived. I know you will i-cllevo what I say. An English lady nf rank did me the honor to prefer mo; and sho it was who, learning of my love fur you, Intercepted our letters, wrotu the cruel note of renunciation which you reieived, nnd showed me the notice of your marriage.

She looked lu bis eyes, and bowed her head slowly, her face crimsoning even there, with death to near'her. A sharp voice other side brought her back to herself. She saw her husband by the side of the rock, balancing him self In a frail boat, which It teemed every dash of tho waves would break in twain.

It not, Heaven's will bo done I" lie leaned over and kissed the white 1m ml Ids wife stretched out toward him In wild entreaty.

They had died to gether. Grnldlne's boat reached the shoro, and both she and Thiuio Richmond were saved. It was weeks before she knew aught pas-lng around her, for tho shock of Annie's death had been too much for her. When sho remembered It all, perhaps sho was nearer to loving Archibald Vane than she had ever been before. Richmond weut nway, and was gono two years, lie owed that much to tho memory of the man who had saved his life In preference to his own.
