LOST AND POUND.
UY HEltO bTItONO.
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. Kate suffered him to catch
It, and she drew him to the rock I
Itwasyt light enough to see, and
on that narrow bhelf of rock, growing
narrower every moment for the first
time lu eleveii'yeais Thane Richmond
and (leraldiue Vane stood face to face I
Roth were pale both wero deadly
calm, lie held out his right hand, nnd
she touched It lightly with hers.
"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. Seven weeks
ngo she died, confessing all her duplici
ty, mid that day I left China to seek
you nud tell you tho truth."
',1 am married I"
"Yes, 1 know It, but It matters llttlo.
Anui her moment, nnd we shall bo
washed from tho rocks I It caunot bo
wrung nmvl Surely notl Look iu my
eyes, Geraldine, and tell me that In all
theso years your heart has been mine,
even as mine has been yours!"
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.
One glance at his pale, set face show
ed Geraldine that ho recognized her old
love. Rut Richmond gave htm no word
of salutlon. Ills Injured, arm was
bleeding fast his strength was ebbing:
his head fell on his breast, and but for
the frenzied hold of Geraldine, bo would
linve bo swept away by the tide, which
now beat over the rock.
Archibald Vane's volco was cool,
calm, and distinct.
'I saw you from the shore, Gerald
ine," lie stld, "nnd came to the rescue.
My boat will hold but twor. You havo
never loved me, but I havo lived only
in loving you. 1 will prove it I"
He reached over and lifted the limp
body of Richmond Into the boat. Then
he put Gcraldlue beside him, and gave
her the oars.
"You can steer," ho said; "you will
be saved you and he I 1 will savo our
little Annie if It lies In man's power.
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.
Tho boat shot away on the tide; tho
words slio uttered were nil unheard by
Aiehlbald Vano, as clasping his child
tu his breast be dared the fury of tho
waves I
Tlwy found him a mile farther down
the const, In the early morning, a smile
on Ids white face, and little Annie lying
against his heart. 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.
And when he came back, could the
world blame Thane nnd Geraldlno if
they made each other's lives happy ?
