All nlfhtthn land in darkness slept,
All night the sleepless sea
Along tha beaclus moaned and wept.
And called aloud on ine.
Now all about the wakcnlilg land
The white foam lies upon the sand.
I saw across the gllmmcilug dark
1 lie white foam rise and fall:
I saw a drifting phantom bark,
I hea nl the sailors call ;
Then sheer upon my straining sight
Pell down the cm turn of the night.
What ship was on the midnight deep?
What voices on the air?
Did wandering spirits call and weep
in darkness and despair?
Did cut living seamen hall
The land with such a hopeless wail?
The flush of dawn Is in the sky,
The dan u breeze cm the sea,
The lark Is singing sweet and high
A winged melody;
Here on the sand among the foam,
The tired sailors have come home.
The eyes that stare, so wide, so wide.
Sue not the blessed light;
Pur all the streams of deatli dlvido
The moiiilng from the night;
Weary wllh tosMtig on lier breast
The sea at last has given them rest.

"Giace, cease your ihapsodles," sajs
Lora hrsklne, with a faint, sweet smile.
"I am not without aimieciallon, but
this man Is no wonder, .and I have
seen him. heard him before."
"II hat! jgu know him, then? You
must have met him, for llils-is his first

reluctance he consented to have hi

the sake of charity, display themselves
on this auspicious occasion. Il'hat

"Hush, lie comes again," whispers
l.ora.
There Is a hurst of applause, and all
eyes turn upon that graceful, manly
form standing In the enhancing radi
ance of the footlights, with the proud,
dark head and perfect face upon which
is a look almost melancholy.
It Is not that Uaynor Saville appears
sad or depressed. You would not sits.
pert n secret sorrow at his heart nor
shadow upon his life, hut there are some
faces that wear a faint, vaguu pathos
that is fascinating beyond brilliancy, tnd
Ills was one of these.
Ills voice rings out In tho plaintive
notes of a Scotch love-song, and his
datk, dreamy eyes gaze out over thu sea
of faces and rest upon the face of Lora
Krsklne.
She is sitting with that faint IndllTorcnt
smile on her lips, hut as across that
space their eyes meet, a strange look
Hashes Into her own, and her gloved
hands clinch upon lie programme.
The next moment thu song ceaser,
the singer is gone, and a tall woman ill
salmon pink and black is dashing htr
fingers over the keys of the plauo-fonc
that occupies tho center of the stage.
'Il'hat a pity Kayuor Saville did not
chooso n professional life," said a little
blonde, sitting behind Lora; "though,
for that matter, it is not too latu now
ho cannot bo moto than twenty
seven." "i believe he has no taste for a public
life," answers her companion. "Aud
his wife "
'Ah, he Is married?"
"Yes; there is his wife next to that
woman wearing that hideous green
bonnet see?"
Lora waits a moment, then turns
her head slowly,discovers the objection
able head-dress, and draws her breath
hard as her eyes fall upon that fair
blonde face just beyond a face so puro
and guileless it might have been painted
on canvas and titled St. Cecilia. The
eyes are blue as a summer sky, shadow
less and frank as a child's.
"A pretty llttlo thing one of those
sweet, lovable creatures to be petted
and trusted," says the voice be
hind.
Il'hat causes the scarlet Hps of Lora
Ersklne to curve at this Instant In a
, sneer that fades Into that faint, cold
smile again?

that nocturne?" queries Graco Cart
land. "No yes that is well enough.
The last number. Iam glad"
Lora rises and draws her rich wraps
close about her. Those who pass turn
to glance again at that datk. brilliant
face above which tho jetty hair coils
and waves under a scarlet-plumed
bat.
Klio Is unusually silent as they move
down the aisle into the wide, Illuminated
lobby, where hangings of crimson and
cray exclude the light and sunshine of
tho November afternoon.
From under a side archway comes the
tall form of him who lately charmed the
dispersing audience with his "silver
notes," and beside him Is ajiefifc figure
In ruby velvet and furs.
One look into that pure, beautiful face
gives Lora Ersklne, then her hands
fall heavily on tho arm of her compan
ion, nnd she drags rather than leads
her forward, till they are In the outer
world.
Grace Cartland, looking with wonder
into the face above, cries out In
alarm:
"Lora, what Is It? You are ill!"
"No, no. Am I pale?"
She rubs her checks nervously, and
laughs In a strange way. The two
persons passing In a carrago at that mo
ment see only that her face Is rosy and
brilliant, her Hps smiling her eyes flash
ing. "It Is Lora Ersklne," says Raynor
Savlllc's wife.
"Yes, gay as ever. She Is one of
Fortune's favorites, untouched by
sorrow, care, regret."
"It Is because she has no heart, Ray
nor."
"I believe you," ho says, and sits
with a moody look on his face, that docs
not quite vanish when his wife slips her
little hand caressingly In his and raises
her lovely blue eyes.
"Ho you know. Raynor," she says,
"there Is something about Lora Ersklne
that fascinates me still? Cold, false, sel
fish as I know her to he, I feel strangely
drawn toward her."
She looks at him Inquiringly, hut
whatever his thoughts, lie does not
speak, and his dark face tells no tales.
"Could you ever quite forget her?"
asks his wife.
"I have no wish to remember her,"
ho answers. "Speak of her no more.
True, loyal wi es like you, Nina, have
nothing In common lib sucli women
as Lora Ersklne. Her name should he
strange to your lips."
Sho smiles in her childish, trusting
manner, and nestles hack upon the
cushions. They aro both thinking of
Lora Ersklne; she Is thinking of them,
and not one of them knows what
dwells In the other's heart. Of our
own thoughts alone wo may bo certain;
we can hut surmise another's, and alas!
how often aro we led astray!
"Nina, dear, you are better, to-day?"
"Hotter I I think so, Raynor. That
terrible pain is gone from my head, but
1 feel so weak, so weak."
Raynor Saville- bends above the In
valid with a look of affictlon and an.l
cty.
The sweet faeo Is so white and wan,
the innocent blue eyes so Insterless and
sunken, his heart sinks within him and
his vision is dimmed with tears.
"My Uttlo saint, my fiaglln flower,"
he says, bending nearer and laying a
gentle hand on tho waving, yellow hair,
She looks up Into his face searchlngly,
"Raynor," 6ho says slowly, "I have
been your wife for five years. Have I
not always dono my duty?"
"You have been the best, truest of
wives," ho answers, wondering at the
query.
"And you love me?"
"Could I do otherwise, darling?"
"If-lf I should tile"
He silences her thru and kisses her,
uttering words of love and reassurance.
There is a little, silence after that, and
then Nina speaks abruptly.
"Raynor, I want to seo Lora Ere
kinc."
He starts as If pierced by an arrow,
and looks at his wife with wide, won
dering eyes.
"I want to see her; you must send for
her," tho invalid Insists. "She is at
Long Ilranch now."
"Even were I to send, do you think
she would leave her pleasures, her court
of admirers, her life of gayety and friv
olity to come here?"
"You must write; sho will come."
"Nina, you do not know what you
aro sajlng," cries Raynor Saville.
"Our home Is no place for Lora Ers
khc "Vet I must see her."
"It Is a nervous fancy," he says, and
resists all iter appeals.
The days pass and Nina Saville grows
frailer and whiter, her strength is fast
deserting her, her life is slowly but
surely drifting away, and Raynor
awakes to the hitter truth one day of
their approaching partint:, when she
will leave him and he will be alone. He
can r.'fusc her nothing now.
"Send for Lora Etskltie," she says,
and he does her bidding.
She comes, not as Jie had anticipated,
with a gay smile on her lips ami her
form decked in brilliant attlre.but quiet
ly and pityingly, looking more like a
nun than a coquette In her garments of
gray, with her grave face and calm,
earnest eyes.
They have not met for years, jet the
greets htm as though they were friends,
parted hut yesterday.
"She Is dying, you say?" sho asks
sadly.
"Yes; there Is o hope. Sho Insisted
on seeing you that Is why I wrote.

now Is pluming Its white wings for
flight from Uie sln-stalned world will
not tho woman of fashion nnd folly
shrink before It?"
Ho slands asldo and watches her as
sho glides lightly lo the bed where tho
Invalid lies, and then Ills somber eyes
see the white hands of Nina rise as If to
ward oft n blow.
"Lorp, yom look Is an accusal Ion. It
Is your heart In your eyes. Oh, you
would not scorn me If you knew the
misery I have endured."
Raynor Saville springs forward with
a hoarse cry.
"Nina, you are delirious raving," he
gasps.
'No; listen, Raynor. Oh, wouldthat
I could die, nnd you would think of mo
kindly, tenderly. I have wronged you
so uiy conscience has confronted me
nlnht aud day I could not go with this
weight upon my soul. I am a weak,
erring woman; before you stands tho
saint, she, not I, Is'spotless."
"Nina!"
"I wronged you both cruelly. You
did not .love me, Raynor, In the old days
when we three were such firm friends
and companions; your heart was given
to her, and I I loved you. I cheated
you. I told you she was false, treach
erous, heartless; I laid the death of poor
Harvey Wilder at her door; I used
every means In my power to separate
you and I succeeded. You mairlcd
me; hut, Raynor, I havo never been
happv. I was haunted by remorse. I
realized that I should never possess your
heart as sho did, though you were very
kind and truo to ine, and now oh, Lota
Lskinc, it Is you who have shielded me
by your silence, you who knew the truth
and would not speak to clear yourself
because because, guilty as I was, you
were too noble to rob mo as I robbed
you. Forgive me Raynor, Lora, for
give." Like one turned to stone, Raynor Sa-
ylllo stands. It is ns if he had given all
his possessions for what he had deemed
a priceless jewel, and suddenly the fire
and light had left It, and he found It but
a thing of paste, base and worthless.
"Raynor Saville," says a voice, "if I
ean forgive, surely you can. Do not let
her life go out in darkness."
He leans forward then and takes the
thin hand outheld toward him.
"I forgive you, Nina," he savs.
A few moments later she lies In the
embrace of death, white and rigid, with
a look of peace on her fair, Madonna
face.
Raynot Saville and Lora clasp hands
then and part.
It Is at a brilliant niusfcnic given by
Mrs. Earlc Fielding, a potent factor In
the fashionable, Intellectual coterie to
which sho belongs, that dark, handsome
man comes forwnrd to sing an aria from
"II Trovatorc.'" Ills tenor voice Is
clear and thrilling, and his hearers are
entranced.
A little blonde In rose tullo tap's with
her feathered fan the shoulder of a lady
before her.
"Do you not recognize him? Ravnor
Saville, whom we heaid three years
ago."
"Ah, yes. Where Is his wife?"
The blonde turns to her hostess who
stands near, and repeats the query.
".Mr. Saville's wife?" says Mrs. Earlc
Fielding. "She oh, by the way, you
know of his second marriage?"
"No."
"Well, there is the bride of three
months with my Archie."
They look and see a dazzling brunette
In gold satin and black lace, and the lib
tie blonde catches her bieath.
"Why, I have seen her before her
face is so familiar. Whole was It? 01',
my treacherous memory I cannot de
cide, yet 1"
Thelrnor voice rings out again. The
assembly had received the aria with
rapturous applausc.and now In response
Raynor Saville gives them an old time
favoiltoof his, a simple little Scotch
lovo song.
How She Cured Him.
A 6TOHY OK WOMANLY KKhOLUTION
X SIIIKTLKSS MAN AND HIS
INDUSTRIOUS WIPE.
Peter Holdrum was Inclined to be
shiftless. He was not a man of extend
ed business capacity, nor had he, by in
heritance, been blessed with great In
tellect or much of worldly goods, l'eter
JJoldrtim was a day laborer In a small
country village, owning a poor cottage
and a poor piece of land; hut both cot
nnd land might have been much better
had Voter Doldruut so willed and de
termined; In fact, his cot, that came
from the parents of his wife, was pleas
antly situated, aud the land had been
of the very best quality. Rut Vcterwas
satisfied to work for otlie rs who would
pay him, taking llttlo heed to the ra
pacities and possibilities of his own
place. And yet Vc,ter had not lived un
happily. His wife was a thrifty, hard
working, good-natured woman, very sel
dom speaking otherwise than kindly te
ller husband, though often sorely tried;
for at heart Vctcr was kindness and do
cility personified,
Rut, alas! there was danger of his
solng to the bad. Tho symptoms were
strong In that direction. Could Mrs.
Doldrum correct him? She had resolved
that she would try.
It was a cold, drizzling day In mid
November. Veter had eaten his break
fast and sat brooding over the kitchen
stove. Ills wife said to htm:
"Veter, can't von put some kind of a
weather-strip on the bottom of the back
door to-day? The wind and rain heat In
there dreadfully "
"No," answered Veter with a shud
der. "It's a cold, wet job, and I don't
feel like It."
"Well, can't vou fix the pump? The
handle is loose and the lower box leaks."
"Can't do It, Susan. I ain't a pump-maker."
1.00 n
If
"Hut you can do something toward It
If you try."
"I don't wan't to try. Ten to one I
should sp'llo it."
"Then won't you fix my mop and
water pail?" '
"Not to-day. They will wriggle
through If you're kcerful."
"You can at least fix tho windows in
our chamber so that they won't rattle so
and let In so much wind."
"Don't bother, Susan. I ain't In the
mood for work. Just your wash your
dishes and let me alone."
Having thus spokcr Vctci- rose and
prepared for going out. His wife knew
very well his Intended destination. He
was going to the tavern, where he would
he sure to meet some of his wet-day
cronies and where he would drink more
or less. Thus far l'eter had not been
In the habit of drinking lo Inebriation,
but the habit was growlng upon him.
'Stop a minute, Veter,' she said.
What for?'
'Walt and sec.'
Voter had curiosity and he waited
Sman left the kitchen, and when she
returned she had on her hood and shawl,
with an umbrella in her hand.
'Sakcs alive! Susan, where aro ye go
ing?'
'I am going with you, Veter; you are
going to the tavern, and I will keep you
company.
Veter stared.
Goodness, gracious! Susan, what are
ye thinking of."
'It is , lonesome, here without you
Vctcr, and If there Is comfort to be had
at the tavern, why may I not enjoy It
with you? At all events I am going.'
'Susan I'
'Don't worry, Veter; I won't say a
word In tho presence of youi cronies to
hurt your feelings. We'll only enjoy
ourselves together.'
'Do you really mean It, Susan?'
l'eter was not entirely oblivious. He
felt the reproof. Ho took of his hat
and hung It upon a peg. Then he
scratched his head and saldr'T I
'I declare, Susan, that Is a pretty.con
siderahlc smart lccturedellvcrcd at short
notice. Don't let's say no more. Just
you take off your hood and shawl and
I'll stay at home.'
Susan went away and removed her
outer garments, and Veter got his ham
mer and nails and went to work, and
before noon he had fixed a weather-strip
upon the djor, had fixed the pump and
the mop, had tightened the chamber
windows, besides having done vailotts
other little tilings that were needful.
And In the afternoon, spurred up by the
accomplishments of thu morning, lie
sought work on his own account.
Aud when night came he felt better
and happier than he had, felt before In a
long time. And tho good Influence did
not fadu with the day. That proved the
turning-point of a life. Thenceforward
l'eter Doldrum went on improving until
he became a thrifty and self reliant man.
FOR NEWLY-WADDED FOLK.
Site didn't show the least disposition
to jump out of the ear window, but all
of a sudden ho grabbed her by the paw.
Sho grabbed hack. Then he leaned
over at an angle of forty-five degrees,
and she fell toward him. It was a very
uncomfortable position, hut they main
tallied it with scarcely any change for
hours. Her hat got skewed around al
most hinslde before, but she could not
reicasu ucr eiiucii ior lear lie il go
through the roof. His collar wilted and
his necktie worked around uuder his
ear, but If he'd let go her paw she'd
think he was mad.
"Darlhui," said he in a bullfrog
whisper, "doesn't It seem funny','''
"1 can't realize It," sho answered, as
she raked ono of her back hairpins
across ins nose.
"All mine?"
"Yes, lovry."
"Never get mad?"
"Never, sweety."
The man on the scat behind them
folded up the paper, picked up his grip,
and chanced to a seat across the aisle.
As he sal down a motherly-looking
woman inquired;
"Are they married?"
"1 think so, madam."
"And can nothing he done to stop it?'
"I think not."
For two or three minutes the newly-
wcuurii were suciu.
"Darling:'' she suddenly sighed.
"What Is It, my angel?"
"Dailhi"!"
"What is It? If anv base hvena has
dared to cause you u moment's uuhappi-
ness i n muruer iiiun point out tnc
animal!"
"It isn't that."
"Then what?"
"I'm-I'm afraid you'll be bemad."
"No. I won't. How could I he mad
at vou? What is t. Do v?"
"Why, I wisli you'd wipe the sweat
out of that left ear. Now, you love just
mo same, uon i your
"Of course."
"Aud you ain't mad?"
"Why, no. Thcie, now who cares
who a looking its nobody's business,
anyhow!"
Theie was another Interval of silence,
during which sho tried to remember
whether they were cng.iged the week
before her father gave Henry the boot
or whether It was tho next Sunday,
"Heuwy?"
"What, angel ?
"Are we w rally married?"
"Ves, love."
"And you love me?"
"With all my heart."
"And you ain't mad?"
"No, dearest."
"Then I'm so happy! Henry, squeeze
my hand."
He squoze. We held an Indignation
meeting aud appointed a committee to
see If something could not bo done; but
he sqtuizo the hauler.
Three orfour women got together and

The baggageman came In when sent

Well, the long and short of the nuttei
was that eighteen or twenty of us rode
150 miles with that panorama, but such
a thing will never happen again never!
