AVENGED.
The old clock In "the wall rang oiit five
melodious chimes, as Cora Smith softly
closed the kitchen door, andran'lnto the
little bedroom for her blue scarf.
"Five o'clock," she said, as the last
stroke died away; "hp is wondering
why I don't conic, and I must make
haste. Madge, little Madge, nre you
golnc with me to-night? I am all
ready."
Little Madge, the twelvc-ycar-old sis
ter, came flying through the hall.
"Auntie says you've forgotten to get
the potatoes for breakfast, and we must
prepare them befpro you go. Never
mind if he does have to watt a little for
you: you've waited for him many a
time. Come quickly, and I will help
you."
So sweet-tempered Cora Smith untied
tho blue scarf, and tripped away to the
forgotten task as merrily as her little
sister, albeit her heart beat like an im
prisoned bird's at tho delay.
Tho west was all aflame with tho
autumn sunset ero tho sisters closed the
cottage door behind them, and ran down
the garden path toward tho stile, where
he was waiting In other words, where
hazcl-eycd, sweet-faced Cora Smith's
city lover was waiting for his lady-love,
as she had many a night waited for him.
Almost every evening they met thcro
at the stile their "trysting place," ho
said, just half-way between her home
and his boarding house. Ho had pro
posed it, and she was nothing loth to
accede It was so pretty and romantic.
Then, Auntie Smith was'not at all
pleased with this dark-cved young
stranger, and, though she had not for
bidden hltu the house, both lovers knew
6he preferrcd"hls room to his company
And bo, always with dear little Madge at
her side, she dally tripped down tho
path through the leafy woods to tho
half-way trystlng placo where she met
her haudsome, dark-eyed lover, Neil
ltowan. How her heart fluttered to
night as she thought of him I and the
warm lovc-llght deepened and darkened
tho soft, brown cyesl
"Nell, Nell," she said, almost uncon
sciously, aloud ; and little Madge clasped
her sister's hand closer, and looked up
in her face.
"Do you love him so very much, sis
ter Cora?"
A swift, hot color came fnto the girl's
checks, and then she pauses, suddenly
holding the hands or little Madge in a
fervent grasp.
"Love him! love him, Madge! better
than all the world better than my
youth, my lite aye, sometimes I fear
better than my hope of heaven 1 And I
am to be his wife, little Madge, this
good man's wife, when the beautiful
spring comes, I shall leave you, and
auntie, and uncle, to ho all his. Hut
this Is our secret, little sister, and only
you can share It."
Then her hands relaxed their hold.and
drawing tho light scarf over Iter shoul
ders, she tripped silently on. They
were almost then; nearlng tho edge of
the wood, and the stile was but a step
away. Another step forward, and then
Madge held her sister back.
"Waltl" she whispered; "I can see
two men on the seat, Cora. Wo do not
want to jni'ct stranger's there."
"No." she said, drawing back In Ibo

Willis Dean. Wo will wait till lie goes,
for I do net like to meet him "
Even as she spoke tho figure arosc.and
the sound of bis voice came on the twi
light air, distinct and clear,
"And what of this love affair, friend
Nell? When Is it to end, and how? Are
you really In earnest', and do you mean
to marry thd girl?"
Cora Smith's hand closed upon the
arm of Madge till she shrank In pain
while they waited for the answer. Nell
ltowan laughed softly.
"Marry her!" ho repeated. 1'Sho Is
just tho subject for a grand flirtation,
and I assuro you I have done this thing
well. Hut for anything further bah 1 1
am going back to town to-morrow, and
this is our last meeting; so be off, old
fellow, for I expect her every moment."
Just for one moment Madge Smith's
heart stood still In awful fear, for she
thought Cora was dying. That white,
ghastly face thcro In the twilight, that
motionless figure, thoso tightly locked
hands, it surely was not the fair, sweet
maiden of a mdmciit before." Cut the
spasm passed, and, without a word, she
aroso and glided noiselessly" away, and
Madffo followed her In silence,
Nell ltowan waited until the light had
all died out of the west, and the dew lay
Ukosummerralnon tho grass at his feet.
Ills cigar was smoked down to ashcs.and
his lazy revery was broken by the cry of
the whip-poor-will.
'She Isn't coming to-night," lie said
mentally; "that is certain. Tho schem
ing auntlo up yonder managed to pre
vent It this time. Oh, well, it, saved a
scene! I will drop a loving, 'farewell
note, and so it ends a summer's amuse
ment. Ha, hum!" and Nell ltowan
strolled homeward, singing, half-uncon-sclously,
"I won't have her, I know I
won't have her, I know I don't care a
straw who lias her, I know,"
The farewell note came to Cora Smith
the following night, but the fever-bright
eyes never rested on the creamy page,
for, ere the insane light gave place to
reason again, death scaled the whito
oelids. To such natures as this drl'r.
love is life, and the rude blow that woke
her from the one bright dream of her
youth, snapped the slender cord that
bound her frail spirit to earth, and out
of the depths of her awful grief, .the
kindly hand of death led her to the
mountain-top, where is buildcd' tho city
of the New Jerusalem.
Day by day, week by week, month by
month, so sped tho time until eight
years were counted. Eight times the
grass bad grown over the little grave In
the lonely, country graveyard, and again
tho October winds rustled tho scarlet
leaves'ovcr the narrow mound
Wonderful changes had the eight years
brought. Sldo by side with this grave
were two others, and the headstones
bore tho names of good aunt and uncle
Smith. They had rested there six years ;
and every summer beautiful Madge
Smith came down from her city mansion,
and lingered in tho old homo a week,
trimming tho grasses and planting
bright flowers on the mounds. Bright,
beautiful Madge Smith, the helrcA of
all Undo Smith's hidden wealth, the
wealth ho guarded so well during that
toil-worn, weary life,
Three years before, Madge Smith left
school, to reign queen of society.
Beautiful, strangely beautiful; with that
cold, white, high-bred face, those wide
fathomless, glittering amber eyes, a fig
ure matchless in symmetry and grace,
accomplished, polished, and tho heiress
of great wealth, no wonder that lovcis,
old and young, knelt nt Madge Smith's
shrine. Strange wondcr.the world tald.
that all were 6corncd not gently and
with words of pity and apology, but
spurn from her very feet with scornful
Hps and blazing eyes,
Ay, Madge Smith was an enigma and
mystery to all who knew her. No
warmer friend, no brighter companion
did those of her own seek for. But
never were thoso Hps been to smile, or
those wonderful eyes to soften, In re
sponse to any lover's; no glacier was
more frigid than she to all men. All,
did I say? Nay, Damo Kumor had
plenty of gossip just now. Only a few
weeks since a new rival appeared on the
scene of action. Nell ltowan, merchant
and millionaire, entered the list of
Madge Smith's adorers not for her
wealth, surely, Madame Grundy ac
knowledged graciously. lie had enough
of his own. It was genuine love that
this blase man of society felt for beauti
ful Madge. And a wonderful change
had come over the fair lady since his ap
pearance. Bright before, she was bril
liant now sparkling, wltty,bewlldcrlng;
and the world looked on In amaze to see
the flush stain her white checks, and the
bright smile that lighted her eyes at bis
approach.
And did he not recognize her, you arb
wondering? Nay, how should he? Sweet
Cora Smith, and tho summer In the
country, wero forgotten things with this
man. He had broken half a- dozen silly"
hearts since then, and left them allkwtb
Time, the great healer. He had flirted
with society's queens and village maid

And the night came, and he was there

was dearer than his life? Ay, eho was

How brlghu the future
ras so sure of her answer;
seemed! He was
had not.she given it all but In words?
"My beautiful, my queen 1" ho said,
softly. And just then he heard the light
nijpie oi a woman s laugu in tue aujotn -
lng room. Her laughjhe knew itamona
a thousand; and her voice: she
speaking loud and clear.
"Thcro, Gua'rdle; you must let mo go
now. Mr. ltowan is waiting for mo in
tho library. YOU know I am to glvo
hltn his answer to-night."
And the guardian's voice, speaking
tenderly, replied
"And that answer,! can guess lt,little
Madge. You aro going to marry this
man, and leave us all."
"Marry hlTnW No, Indeed, sir; He is
Just the subject for a grand flirtatIon,and

Is expecting me, so'by-by till I come
again," and she tripped lightly through
the half-open door, ero tho amazed
guardian could utter a -syllable.
A whltc,ghastly,shiverlng figure stood
by tho library window.
"For Uod's sake, Madge Smith, tell
me you were jesting I" he cried, as bril
liantly, glowingly beautiful, sho glided
Into the room.
"Not so, ray friend," she answered
lightly; "I spoke the truth. If you
overheard :ny words I need not repeat
them. It is my answer."
"But you gave ine hope; you led mo
on, you have given me ireason to think
you love me," ho cried,: passionately.
It Is the one loveof. -niy life I I have
centered every hope and thought In you,
Madge Smith, and for my sake, for God's
sake, do not Wreck my life I'
She was very pale now, and her eyes
wero black and glistening.
"Nell Bowan," sho said, slowly, "I
have prayed for this hour for eight years,
but never In my wildest dreams did I
think my prayer would bo so fully
answered. When I saw tho hue of
death, the white agony on my only sis
ter's cheek when I saw her wrltho In
speechless agony at the words she heard
eight years ago to-night, I vowed to
avenge her, God being helper. Again,
when I heard the thud of the earth upon
her coffin, I vowed that vow. God has
brought it about oven sooner, more.com
plete, than I had thought. If I have
glyen you one hour of such agony as
she suffered, I am content. If you
could live and suffer It for countless
ages, I should be better content. Good
night."
Two hours afterward,-tho sharp ring

All sprang to their feet, save" Madgo

TURNING THE LAUGH.
"Never stake your wits against a
woman's said Bob Wimple, as wo sat
sipping our tea one evening at his cosy
little home.
"Why?" I asked, "are their wits so
much tharper than ours?"
"I can't say exactly," Bob replied,
"but they havo so many more of them,
you see. I could tell you a story ancnt
that."
"Tell It." I said, puttlncr another
lump of sugar in my cup and setting
myself to listen.
Bob slowly stirred his tea, took a sip
and began:
"Kato Burgess, who was the hand
somest ugly woman I ever saw "
"A contradiction In terms that," I
interrupted.
"Not In her case," Insisted Bob: "you
would havo owned it yourself had yon
seen her. Though her features-were
Irregular, their expression was perfect
and they beamed with intelligence.
"I met her casually at a watering
place," he continued, "whither I had
gone, partly on business, partly on
pleasure, about a year after my marri
age. She had the rcpnUttlon, I found,
of being a sort Democrltus, a laugher
at mankind and their follies. She had
a goodly number of suitors; some doubt
loss attacted by herself; others, perhaps,
by her fortune. But, in turn, she had
treated them all alike. One after an
other she had led them Into the most
extravagant flights only tolaughatthcm
In the end, and make them the laughing
stock of others.
"Whether it was that a year's con
nublal bliss bad not sufficed to render
me quite Insensible to the charms of
flirtation, or avenging tho wrongs of my1
sex. I leave to bo inferred from my
story. At any rate, the fact is, that
after making Miss Burgess's acquaint
ance, and on detecting, as I thought, a
luikiag purpose to add mo to ber li:t of
victims, I took no pains to inform her
that, Instead of being an eligible
bachelor, I was a staid and steady bes-
diet.
"Chance threw us a good deal together.
We talked all sorts of sentimental non
sense, quoted the spooniest passages of
the poets and made as great fools our
selves as the two greenest lovers could
have done.
"I thought Kate was flirting desper
ately; but, determined not to be out
