impressible women; since, representative of
pabsioiiuto and mysterious power, it h.is all
tho strangeness of tho sublime with n.mo

only the veil of Charlatanism, only covers
vacuity; yet hardly ill the present case, for
Unl.ind Koine carried on his brow tiie traces
ol niniily thought, ami his lips, with all
heir willfulness, had the, melancholy sig
nificancoof passion passion gone astray,
perhaps, hut human passion still.
Meanwhile tlio nuptials were gay nnd
I brilliant, since neither expense nor inven

of beauty and genus. Alternato smiles and
blushes illumined the fair face of the bride
dimly risible under fleecy Inco nnd flowers,

that Alice impressed them with the idea of

How her light feet twinkled in the dance,
timing deeper music than that of the orches
tni! And how sweet the laugh pealing in
sudden joy, as ( it were "a joy forever)'
Yet Uoloiid looked on, grave and pale,
nnd tho circlo of silence around him rather
widened than narrowed. It might be th
silence of profound happiness, of mournful
regrets, or of changeless resolution; never
thcless it was silence, deep and awful, am

pain he valoly sought to mitigate by cx

not even dismayed, when, nfter passing tho
ring to tho minister, With his duonir,agcd
Ion hand ho joined licr'a with the same,pro
nouncing tho eternal vow of love, In a
voice, whoso hollowncss must have struck a
warning to auy lieatt less preoccupied than
her own. But Alice was only conscious of
tier own exceeding fullness, nnd happily
had no thought beyond, "I am his, and lie
is mine," which tho occasion might Well
justify.
Yet surprise and pain grew in her bosom,
when, in the bridal tour that followed, tho
hand wni not withdrawn. If ho caressed
her, that mu(e, unintelligible member was
always there, chilling and thrusting her
back with a strange poner. And, even it
she rested in tils bosom, tho hand was still
between, like a thick wall, through Which
lieai t could not answer unto heart; so si
lence fell between them; for Alice could not
forget tho dreary, Intervening hand; nnd
yet that was tlio ono theme upon which her
llis scaled themselves. She could not shape
into speech tho deathly fear that possessed
her, sho had no words for tlio vaguo misgiv
ings of her soul.
I have said sho could not forgcl; yet this
would sometimes happen, a3 once, when
wandering with Hulaud,in a peaceful valley,
embosomed like a nest of greenery, in the
bend of n silvery riverj sho cried, with pos
donate yeai nine!
Ohl if it were possible for the water to
wind around, and lock us here, foreverj fiom
the rest of tlio worldl" To which his absent
smile must have been sufficiently chilling,
without tho pain of a mora unmistakable
reply.
Wish fof no sach isolation at least for
mo, Alice; it would bo slow death."
And ills eyo dropping, bIio remembered
tho covered heart, and was silent ogain
knowing it would he, Indeed, as ho said; so
tlio wisli went out in tho very moment of
its kindling and never flickered again.
It was not long before a feeling camo over
her, as if the doors of her homo weio locked
n feeling which grew and strengthened
when the two wero fairly established in tho
quiet and security of tho noblo old country
house, descending upon Alico with, the re
mainder of her patrimony; and whither her
husband's sisler, at his earnest invitation,
had likewise, coins to live.
Elvira Home, In many respects, strongly
resembled her brother. Tall, dark, and
gravej sho had tho sjmo high lineaments,
tho same mysterious sweetness liaunliag tho
willful mouth; witli tho same full, melan
choly eves. But Elvira's contained more
intensity than his; indeed this was so much
tho case that Iter presence was oppressive to
weal: and nervous organizations.
Mice instinctively shrunk from her. She
knew not why. Possibly Elvira made no
efl'ort to win tho confidence of her young
sUter-iu-Iaw; lor sho was taciturn iu com
inon with most thoughtful natures. But
however that 'may be, the two lived entire
ly apait, not estranged, eiuco they hud ticv
er been together, but removed like souls in
separate spbcrcsj lor Elvira was strong and
sell-sufficient, while Alico was a human ivy
weak, and clinging to every supiort around
her that did not positively repel.
Not unfrequently Alice beheld Elvira's
intense gaze riveted lipoil Roland, and es
pecially it dwelt upon the covered heart; af
ter which she never failed, herself, to be
come tiio subject nf those bright and search
mg eyes, in which sorrow nud oofnpassiou,
with something of scorn, forever blended.
Oltcn and again she would think to evade
that gaze, Whose secret sympathy, with its
still disdain, grew insull'eraoly piinful at
last. Yet over it searched her out, as with
a sort of fearful magnetism, constraining her
to look up nud fjee it liko un ugly truth.- In
truth, iu occasional losses of feverish
thought, both tlioso eyes of Elvira's seemed
to melt into one large, luminous orb.whichj
chining fiom the center of her loreheod,firo
sented a clear and mirror-liko surface, in
whose leptlij brokenly reflected, would ap
pear the dreadful mystery of the coveied
heart; yet ever before sho could pluck it up
fiom its drowning depths, diving back
again.it would bo swiltly lost, liko a dol
phin, sunning himself for a moment on the
surface of tho ocean, and then buried him
self beneath tho broken brightness of the
waters almost as soon as seen; whilst noth
ing remained behind but a pair of intelli
gent eyes, with Which Alice could not won
der, ns they bent over book or drawing,
that her wild fancy had taken such liberty;
nud a sense of intolerable pain, sinking all
the more deeply that it was narneltse and
unspoken.
Neither was Elvira's the only face that
cast a troublous shadow on Alice's life.True,
the other was but seen nt long intervals,
and yet, glancing past her In giddy dances,
in picturo gallery, church, or ttreet, it was
lighted with the triumph of nn eye aveng
lugancisnt wrong, speaking moro plainly
than in words:
'I wish you joy of youreovcrcd hsartyAl
ice Home."
After which Alice was suro those eyes, at
some time or other, had been permitted to
look into the covered heart, and if they
would, could tell her mora than sbo knew.
Yet that fair woman never crossed Itoland
Home's threshold, nor was her name eVer
spoken In his house. liut unspoken names
aro none the leas present. And most likely
Alice had some such vaguo thought, as sit
ting ajtart in silence and shadow, which all
the ruddy glow of the evening fires could
nut light up, sbo would hear Roland and
Elvira speak strange words, to whoso mean
ing she oould attain by nn effort of thought.
And after Which Elvira's smile would seem
to say:
"You cannot comprehend us. Wo are a pe
culiar oud sacred family the oldest arls-
tocraov under the sun; whilst you aro of
the people, bom to serve as a hand-maiden.
Fooliah child! to look so high, it ia no un
ion, but an alliance! Hear it as best you
may, and let the covered lieait alone, nor
fret vourpoorbraln with our strange speech;
for you will never know it never!".
"Aauirtf not after ut, poor child! It Is as
great a gulf as that between Dives and Laz
arus. At th cattle of gods we are fed by
invWibU priests warmed at a greater altar
tbau the euu't; and knowing a minietery
not virginal than moon and atari, we rlae
in our growth till the lark Is a speck bene it

smilo was, that when Roland would dwell
on some heroic deed, his kindling eyes for
ever sought Elvira's in sympathy, passing
by Alice like a shadowj so also, when he
had a thought to communicate, it was to
her that ha turned for answer. Whilst El
vira, whenover sho liked, might come lu
and out ol the dim, wist chamber, wains
dated with oak, and lined to tho ceiling
With dark volumes, and huge folios, in
strange characters, Where Roland passed his
days; hut whither, If Alice stole sometimes
fiom her dreary self, Bhe must needs feel tho
weight of a lonliness more awful tbau else
where, In tho presence of tho great dead,
who, through her husband's forbidden cour
tesy, seemed to frown her back as an Intru
der in their nugtlit dirclo. Iteuca her visits
becatno rarer and rarer, till at last sho went
no more; though sometimes standing on the
outside, in tlio dark, sho would press her
pale face against the panes, and gaze in,
with consuming eagerness not unmingted
with a sort of fearful, shuddering curiosity.
On such occasions sho never failed to see
Roland and Elvira, side by side, bending
over soma mysterious volume; and one? a
pale halo playing around, above whose
lambent llama their twin heiuU seemed
bursting Into resplendent flowers, rare and
dazzling beyond anything even in a tropi
cal florai But delirious fires probably shed
their fantastic light on such visions; for Al
ico was a frail woman! at best, and tho cov
ered heart had made sad Jlavoo with her
health.
It could have been only fever that gave
her courage, at length lo cry:
"Roland, take away tho hand and let mo
seo your heart!"
Tho tones wero full of pathetic entreaty
Nevertheless, Itoland only replied to it by
Etroking her brown hair mechanically, and
smiling down upon her, ns one on a child
oskirlg a precocious question, tho answer to
which would bo neither judicious nor com
preliensible; still it soothed her for tho tirrie,
like an anodyne :i chronic pain, and sho
sobbed herself to sleep on his bosom.
But this could not last, and, again casting
herself at his feet, and clinging to him with
passionate embraces, sho pleaded, pitcously
"Roland! Itoland! take away tlio hand
from your heart! It will drive ma madl"
It was a prayer to reach a heart of mar
ble, and accordingly there was rustling and
stir under Roland's immaculate linen, as If
the hand struggled to releaso'itsclf.
But Elvira's voieo calling fi om tho gafden,
"Itoland)'' ho pressed it down closs again,
like a stono niuved by soma convulsion from
beneath; and! s n frown gathered upon his
brow, uttered the stern command:
"Never spook of it again!"
Tho whisper of tho tragic voice, sounding
like thunder to her terror-6tric!ten cars, so
paralyzed her twining' arms, that they fell
away from him liko the arms of a dead wo
man, and trailed upon tho ground, never
moro to clasji him through all her injured
lire again.
From that day tho brightness Went out of
her eye, and the rose, tho last lingering roso
of her brief summer faded in her cheek.
More heavily her step fell upon the garden
walk, nud mole lingering every day, as sho
came down the broad staircase from her bri
dal chamber, wh'cro Holanri's measured
kindness struck moro fatally than auger
could have done.
Tho house, in tho meanwhile, assumed a
Strahge aspect, everything changing itsclia
raeter to her gloom-haunted gaze. The laco
draperies floating over tho windows in sun
ny fleeces hod a funeral air; the glancing
marbles seemed liko a family of sisters fro
zen into stono by her sjieechless grief; the
fountains wero fountains of tears flowing in
mute sympathy with her passion; whilst
the spacious chambers, illuminated with
mellow pictures, seemed haunted with shad
ows, and rustling with unearthly sounds.
Now it was gliding feet; then a iluttcr, os of
soft garments; nnd again sadjwelling sighs,
accompanied with floating melodies, plain
tivoin their dying sweetness, as the death
song of the swan;
A bird singing iu the elm branches, on n
summer's day, seemed at a dlstauco as in
conceivable as her own youth; and when a
stray gleam of sunshino chanced to slant
through the ehaded panes of flint glass, it
showed her chamber a great grave; whilst
in its light she beheld herself thoglrost sho
was haunting her own inanimate remains.
But, perhaps, tho strangest hallucination of
all was, that Roland Homo, tho accomplish
ed scholar and gentleman, was no more hu
man, but a man of marble, petrified by his
own right hand.
Of courso such a notion could only pro
ceeded from the hectic With which Alico
was slowly consuming; despito sagacious
doctors recommending iron, when tho irou
already entered her soul.
What careful nurses they placed around
her) What vials and What delicacies load
ed the table at her bedside) And, above all,
how tenderly they shielded her from tho
autumn winda) sho who had lived in Arc
tic coldness so long. Sho said tbey were
preparing to bury her before death; nnd,
probably impelled by some such fancy, she
oontiivcd one night to evade her nurses,
and steal away, in her night robe, and willi
sllpperles feet, to the dim, oaken chamber,
where Roland passed so much time. Lifting
tho latch softly, she saw him within, sitting
alone, asleep, in his great velvet cushioned
chair, ns insensible to tho gliding ghost be
side hitn as tn tho gutty winds outide ting
ing such wild and mournful music from the
solemn harp strings attached to the ease
mentt of the chamber.
How, indeed like marble he looked) not
a hair stirring on hit sculptured brow; not
a shadow, not a motion, except as the deep
cheat hea fed witli I rregnle r breathing; heav
ed and fell again with its burden of incxpll
cabie life.
Then It came into Alioe's heart, as she
bent toward him in overwhelming return
tho old patwnato love, to lift tho hand un
knowingly, und see into theeovtred heart a
moment. It was a thought no sooner born
than acted upon. And the terrible energy
the energy of deepalr with which she
clasped hii arm must have inevitably ao

discovery! the Saab, of the two to insepar

have disturbed Rolana's sleep", for he knit
tod his brows uneasily, and with a motioli
of the right arm murinuied:
"Closer) closer) that no eve may behold
the vultures eating beneath eating, yet
never gorged."
Could it liavobeon the wild cast wind that
made her sink her so heavily oi hit feet,
winding her silken tresses about her b&soffi!
as if to warm its sudden coldness For li
was thus Roland found her, hours after
wnrd,whcu he wakened from his long slum
ber. "Now you will lift the cover) Roland'
Hied Elvira, "aud face the world With Id

ing through tho meadow, and across the
rivulet to where the old cottage stands?Ahd
Who Is coming to meet you from the door-'
way, her willow changed to palms, and the'
smile shining as you left It?"
But Roland, shaking his bead sadly;
pointed to the hushed linage beside htm,
"The work of destruction is completer Id

now uncover the heart Set)" and Ho thow
ed her how the ono h'ad become a part of
the other. "As for the path to the cottage;
it Is wild and rank with weeds, and she who'
is Waiting in tho doorway Ir a stranger."
"Nevertheless," said Elvira, when Roland
had turned away, "he will Sculpture a cov
ered heart upon her monument, as n peni
tential offering to her names; and then for
tho cottage again! A man Is a man, and
nothing under the sun is evelusting but

A DAKOTA LOVE STOHV.
William Dowdall, of Faxon, Sibley coun
ty, Minnesota, the head of a numerous
family of boys and girls, yielding to the'
laudable-ambition of finding a larger farm
for his family, Set his face to tho westward;
and selected himself a home of 320 acres In
rango JO, in McCook county, Dakota. So
well pleased was ho With tho ctfunlry that
ho resolved to selid Ills two grown updaugh
tcrs out to the new land of promise that
each of them might secure a farm of her
own. With this nim,in view, the old gen
ieman, before leaving made arrangements
with Chas. Barrett! a claim i agent and lo
cator, who gtllded himself In his homeseck
ing, to receive his diughters upon their ar
rival nt Sioux Falls. In course of time'
Dowil all's daughters, Nellie and Annie, ar
rived at the "Lowell of tho West," and true
to his appointment and instinctive gallant
ry the lively land man, Barrett, met hem ,
at tho depot. They wero a pair of charm
ing girls, calculated to excito in the manly
bosom a regret that In this favored region a
man can marry only ono wife at a time'
Added to tho charm of personal appearance;
Nellto Dowdali, one of the sisters,-was the
happy possesir of ways at once practical .
and fascinating, Nellio meant busiuess;
talked business, and was business all over.
Sho talked in an eminently practical man-'
ncr to the land agent, and an arrangement
mis entered into- that that they should start
upon their laud-exploring trip next morn
ing. Sister Annie Was simply loveable.
Nellie was the business partner of the con
cern, and it was deemed inexpedient to take'
Annio along, Nellie volunteering to "go it
alone" With tho land man and select claims'
for herself and sister. On the trip tbey
wero accompanied by other homeseekers,
but Barrett and Nellie Dowdall occupied aV
fmemost plactj in the procession, enjoying a
whole wagon and quiet conversation tor
themselves. As far as the history of the af
fair discloses, the nholo conversation related
exclusively lo business. Tho girl selected ar
pro emptiuu nud timber claim (320 acres)
for hefself, and the same for her sister, and
resolved to rompieto the business of her
mission by proceeding to the Yankton land
offlce, GO miles distant, to file the necessary
application for the claims. It was afternoon'
on a rainy dry in April, unpleasant for K
long ride in au open wagon, and tba land
agent, fearing that in the darkness they
might losa their way, suggested that they
make lay o?er under shelter on tho prairie
that night; but tho bright young blonde
from Minnesota camo west on business and
expressed her determination to have him
go on and make the entry at Yankton.
Their task accomplished they returned to
Sioux Falls, and tho two' gtr's again set out
for Minnesota. But Nellie left a plodge be
hind. Her heart was with tho McCook
county land agent Before leaving she made
him her promise that in two weeks (he
would return, and made arrangements with
him to send a dispatch announcing the
time of her arrival. On the anticipated day
Barrett rodo eleven miles lo Cameron, the'
nearest postoffico, to receive hor communi
cation; and in response to its call rode all
night, arriving at Sioux Falls at an early
hour next morning. Hero ho met the
Minnesota blonde; "soft eyes looked love to'
eyes that spake again," and inside of a single
hour the Dakota boy and Minnesota girl
wero made ono flesh.
"Two souls with but a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one."
Writers of romance might weave this love'
affair into a story of twenty chapters, hut
wo tell the "plain unvarnished tale." The
bright, bravo, business: blonde ia happily
married in McCook county. Near the
ruins of the old homestead shanty the'
bridegroom bos erected a neat story-and-a-half
cottage which travelers by the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St, Paul railway may des
cry, half a milo distant from tho railroad on
the prairie, two miles west of Bridgeport In
McCook county.
In the eastern States a story of this kind
would be termed a romance; but in Dakota'
such affairs are Cvery-day, commonplaru
occurrences. Dakota Territory is broad
enough, and IU hardy sons are gallant
enough to afford a farm of 320 acres and a
wealthy husband to overy brave, good look
ing girl who has the courage and desire tor
"go wet and grow up with the country."
"Don't Know Itulf their Value."
"They cured me of Ague, Billloutnesi
and Kidney Complaint, as recommended.
I had half a bottle left which I used for my
two little girla. who the doctors and neigh
said oould not bo cured. I would bats
lost both of them one night if I bad nut
given them Hop Bittors. Tney did them so
muish good I continued their use until they
were cured. That it why I say you do nut
know half the vadue of Hop Bitters, and do
-Ml renoiomend thsiu high enough."--B ,
