Perhaps the Lord ot might
Will come, in wrath, lo grant divorce

We made the vow In ills great name
That deatli alone should part.
Ah! little 'tis e know ot death'

An' Utile do ne realize
How seen we all may die.
For, If we did, wc who lane Joined

Would feel that soon enough would come
The tlmeyihen ne must pair.

when the meal was over. Tho law case

was now relegated to a secondary place.
Iteba, this beautiful, nillicted girl (she

wait and not add more anguish to him
that night.
I retired, but could not sleep. The
melody of Iteba's voice rang In my cars

out of my window nt tho clear, moon

cended and strolled lo the rustic old
fountain. Everything was quiet, and
tho far-off barltof a dog had a loncsoni
wall in its dying echoes. Suddenly a
light beamed from a lower window in
tlio. house.. It was in Iteba's room
I could, not refrain from looking, when
tnv heart sank within meat the sight
beheld".
The figure of a girl, clad In white ma
terial, that clung in classic folds to her
superb form, was standing erect, her
long hair falling In wild disorder oye
her shoulders. In her right hand she
held a poniard on high, its bright blado
pointed at her bosom.
In imagination I saw tho crimson
stream stain tlie whlto robe, heard the
short gasp and moan, and pressed tli
cold foimthat lay silent on the floor.
I, sprang to my feet and rushed for
.ward, my pnly 'impulse being to read
her before she fell.' I prayed that some
thought would seize her and make her
slay Jier mad jiurpose but for a minute,
I reached the .window just as the flinli-

She turned'' pale and freed herself from
my arms. 1 thought perhaps she would
faint. Shu' sat down In a chair and he
gan to laugh heartily. It seemed to
amuse her infinitely. My feelings were
wrought ttplo a pitch, and I started to
speak, harshly to her for such levity
w hen suddenly It occurred to mo that
her crazy lit was upon her.
l'ity for her condition was mora in
order than censure.
"Did you see me with the poniard?'
she nsked, smiling.
When I explained where I was at and
how I felt; rushing forward to saye her
she said:
"I believe you hayo the elements of a
hero in you; You wanted to save my
life., did you not? 1'crhaps I may give
you that chancu yet, hut only on one
condjlion. Jl'ill you promise?''
1 promised anything If she would not
atlenitsuJcldo again,
"Do nt tell my father anything what
lias happened . to-night, llefore you
leave for tho city 1 have a plan to ills
close to you. Will you trust and bo-
lieyo In me?"
How could I resist such a pleading
Ipok? bo in order to humor her 1
agreed,
; She then walked to the poniard, picked
it up and presented It lo me.
Shntiskcd me to keep It as a souvenir.
As she bowed inu out with tlie grace of
a queen, she repeated these lines

.viueniiy tlie unfortunate woman
knevv' then that she was Insane, or else
she never would hayo uttered words that
conveyed that Idea.
'"''Thf h'ext day ! met Iteba and my un
cle al "tlio breakfast table. She was
looking ''bright and saluted mo with a
smile. She even went so far as lu ask
me If 1 had had a good night's rest and
in my dreams carried me back to thu
busy Bcenes of the city.
"What admirable acting; nothing but
Insanity could make such an utter for
cetfulness on her part of the transac
tions of the night," I thought.
Jly uncle declared that I looked as If
I had not slept a wink, and I felt It de
cidedly. The case began that day, so I
was- occupied until nearly sundown in
tho task of getting a Jury. At dinner
the deacon persisted In talking about
the jurors I had selected, but I told hint
that it I did not win the suit for him
and put the plaintiff In for costs and
damages I would charge no fee. This
put him In a good mood, and In tlie joy
of the moment he said:
"Iteba, that Is the way big lawyers in
.the city do things. I think my nephew
would make some woman a good hus
band." .
Tito remark was embarrassing to
both-uf Irs and brought forth no ready
response.
Finally, she colored up like a full
blown rose nnd merrily sngecsted:
"Doubtless Ufi has made a selection
already among his many friends in tho
city." . I

If
This untimely allusion to marriago by
my uncle pretty much checked conver-
sation ami I was glad when dinner was
over.
As on the first evening of my arrival
we enjoyed nil hour or so In tlie parlor.
and pleasant as If she never had con-
telnpl.lled suicide, Once I noticed that
she loqked at me, but for n moment
only, with that sad, piteous expression
that I obscrvod when wo first tliet. "My
whlto tuft of half again," I thought. Q
I vns very sleepy and retired early.
When I bade father and daughter good
night hi the parlor, 1 was 'surprised lo
see her come forward and offer her
hand. Instantly 1 felt a note and mv
lingers quickly closcd-upon It. Its con
tents- we're nV strange ahd mysterious ns
tho writer:
My New Pmexii and Cocsis: If
the. case Is finished to-morrow,- meet me
nt midnight near tho old fountain. I
desire to Imnart mv nlans to vott. I
have prayed lor some strong friend like
vou. I!i:riA.
Her "plans," I imagined, were tlie
rambling fancies of a diseased mind
I
resolved to humor her, because I felt
sure that she would do herself harm If
I disturbed any of her ideas. My In
tention, had been to remain a month,
but now my great desire was to finish
the case nnd leave. My sleep was full
of sweet dreams about this beautiful
girl, and I arose refreshed. The deacon
and I had early breakfast alone, and
hurried to the court house. There were
few witnesses to examine, and by noon
the plaintiff's lawyer addressed tlio jury
for three wearisome hours. 1 knew the.
jurors were farmers and wanted to get
home by sundown, so I spoke five mln
tiles, saying that I did not desire to
keep them away from their famllies.and
that I had such a clear case that to ar
gue for hours a self-evident fact to them
would be an Insult to their Intelligence.
In a few- minutes tlie jury decided
against the plaintiff and mulcted him
for costs and damages. My uncle was
disappointed because I had made suclt n
short speech, but when the decision was
rendered his satisfaction Knew 110'
bounds. On tho'way tolils house he
slapped me ou the back and said that ho
bad something to Impart to me the next
day. He declared that It would be a
surprise.
Sty anxiety was to get away, for I
knew that if I icmalned much longer I
w ould be a slave to tlie caprice of a crazy
woman. Hence I paid little attention
to what my uncle was saying.
After dinner I took n long walk nnd
returned to my room. I icad until near
mld-nlght and then quietly-slipped down
tlie stairs and readied the .rusty old
fountain. A slight brcczo was stirring
and wafted tlio fragrant odor of flowers
upon its current. The moon was far
down and the Pleiades were holding a
carnival of brightness overhead. I had
heard that the moon affected tlio insane,
so I stood within the deep shadows of a
tree.
"How noble In my uncle to watch over
tills girl and keep her from going to an
asylum," I said in thought. I turned,
and at my side, dressed In .1 black trav
eling habit, with a vallce in her left
hand, stood Iteba. Her face was pale
and htr eyes looked as if she had been
w ccping. She spoko first :
"My plan Is simply this: 1 wish to
fly to tlie city w ith you."
It took my breath away. It was some
minutes before I could answer. "She Is
a crazy ns a March hare," I mentally
uttered; "so I'll humor her."
"Yes, wo will llytotlic city, but not
to night. To-morrow I'll get uncle's
permission for you to accompany me."
"Oh, no; he'll never consent for yon
to go anywhere with me. Ho thinks you
are "
She stopped and looked down.
urged her to finish tho sentence.
"That you aye nillicted; that you are
a monomaniac."
And pray what do you think?"
asked.
"I think you aro just the same as 1
am. At first 1 thought you might boaf-
tlictcd, but 1 have 110 such idea now."
v ell, tills was a revelation. '1 he girl
had thought I was insane. Thodcacon
had evidently told her so becauso 1
lectured on evolution.
Tlie next thing 1 expected her to sav
vy-as that she wished to fly to tlio city
and marry 1110, so I resolved to rush 011
fate and discover her full plan.
hat do you Intend to do In the
city?" I asked.
"I am studying to bean actress, but
my. father will lujypr consent. He took
me awny from school becauso he heard
I was Inclined to such a profession."
f hen you aru not crazy?" I almost
shouted.
I saw It all, the suicide scene was act
ing.
"You are not crazy on religion, are
ou?" she asked naively as a response.
"I am mad with love," I answered.
Uy that old rusty fountain two crazy
people vowed eternal fidelity, and the
same old, old story was repeated.
My uncle, the next day, gave us his
blessing, nnd said that after I had won
that caso he resolved to make me his
heir.
I forgave his peculiar way of cxpress-
ng Iteba's desire to become an actress,
and frequently write tu him that somo
'allliclions" aro a blessing In disguise.
