In the slowly irallicrlnj; twlllfilit

Of my pupils homeward pone.
Willi what eager feettliey bounded
Down the lo.nl and o'er the lull!
I eau fte.ir their niei i y voices
Ulut'iliK nut Ilko lnililc bt ill.
Tlirotijjh Hie jear.s I backwaid wander
To tile old fandlar .spot,
Where a cnreless c hild I lingered
SludliiK lissons that were fianeht
With a poccr, lit life's hereafter,
lo brlii bark my straying kit
To the nariow path ofduty,
Ele my mill was cnuiplctc.
I can seu the dear old school house
Willi Its stained anil criinibllin; walls,
And the pin ground slretclilngdownwaid
To the luooklefs tiny falls.
In the doorway stands the teacher
Smiling at our childish glee,
As we form a magic circle
'Neath the shady old tree.
Where is now that lot lug teacher
Wlto was silwajs drill ct kind:
lly Ills earnest, faithful labor -
Training heaitas well as mind?
In tlieihtirehyaid lie is sleeping,
Safe at rest from toll and pain;
While tho actions or his pupils
It'll Ids life was not In vain.
Wlirro too are the merry sejioolniates
Willi whom In life's nimiilug hours
I lune spotted, idly dreaming
Of the Joys jet lo bo nuiv.'
t)li I sli ve then the. cup of anguish
lo ot.r llpshas oil been pressed,
While tin' hones we fondly cherished
Neur yet our llu-s have blced,
Smneliuvo left time's Heeling shadows,
('tossed the chill and unknown tide;
Entered through the'galeway golden,
.loliud the company glorlllcd.
Others yet below arc tolling,
Some forttuth and some for gain;
Some ate making life a blessing,
Srtine are spending It In Miln.
Is It thin these happy children
Who are now so free from eate,
Shall awake lo sterner tlutlis'.'
Shall be called upon tn bear
Their due piution of the sorrow
That the piliual cutse has brought,
Making life a toilsome journey
Wheie Hie weaty ones rest not?
Yes; we grow alone through trial;
He Is far front manhood's years,
Who has never felt his weakness.
Never kiiimn the power nt tears.
They who came through tribulation
Are the ones mound tho Throne;
Heaven contains no crown of clot y
For the soul lo trier unknown,
1'athcr, grant that these my pupils
May be strong to bear their cross.
Triumphing by patient effort
Over lartldy gilef and loss.
Help me loach them life's great lesson,
Not to Ike for self alone.
Hut by sinn ing other's burdens
Thus to make inoru light their own.
(live thorn courage for the cotilllct ;
Shield them frora the tempter's power;
Let thy sure abiding presemo
Cheer them In each gloomy hours
Lend them In tbo narrow pathway
lly the blessetl sunbeams kissed;
Take them nil safe heme In heaven
When the school of lllo's dbiulstcd.

"You really must speak more plainly,
Mr. Norwood, I was not awaro tliat

"Millie! Millie!"
Tho sharp, reproachful tone struck
homo to her heart, ami the aterted faco
was turned part-way back, animated by
a lleetlng expression, half shame, half
contrition; hut In another instant It bad
jjiveii place to a look of cold Indifference.
"Millie," repeated the young man
with fervent feeling, "you know as well
as I do how much there has In en be
tween us how much we were to each
other until this stranger came, with his
dark nut fascinating, as you tulnk,
Millie, biit 'slnster faco his soft-spoken

perhaps, he Is; but I can see no beauty
in that which masks an evil heart. I do

fury, stamping iter foot upon the ground
in a transport of resentful passion.
"Silence, Waller Norwood, not an
other sjllnble!" she panted breathlessly.
"If ever I had been disposed to believe
that you cherished oven respect for mo,
I would discredit it now, since you can
so far forget yourself as to traduce my
father's guest, my "
The passionate voice broke In a chok
ing hurst of (cars, while a scarlet flush
flamed all over her face for a moment.
Then suddenly flinging her hands
from her teat -drenched eyes, she once
more faced him, pale as marble.
"Oo from my sight forever!"' she
exclaimed her voice hoarse and tremb
ling with concentrated emotion. "Never
come near moor speak to mo again!
What you have said lo-day I shall never
forget never forgive! and from this
hour wo are more than strangers I I
will never speak to you, look at you, or
think of you again!"
In pet feet silence tho young man lis
tened to the passionate outburst; then
with grave, sad dignity lifted his hat,
tnd stood with uncovered head before
her.
I accept my dismissal, Millie Miss
Vane," he said calmly. "If 1 have
erred, It has been because of a love, n
devotion to you which no resentment,
no neglect, no scot n of yours can ever
weaken or destroy. While, my heart
beats it must beat for you alone In you
lias been centeied my love, my life: with
you it must remain until that life ends.
Farewell!"
Then he turned and was gone, w hlle
Millie, her chocks once more hot and
flushed, and her features working with
excitement, moved hastily away In an
other direction.
Tears, little one? what has caused
them?" spoke a low, insinuating voice
at her very ear.
Millie turned with a start to greet a
tall, aristocratic-looking man of about
thlity years, with a dark, brilliant face,
anu iieep-set eyes instinct with a pecu
liar magnetism before which tho girl
trembled and shrank like a fascinated
bird.
"What is the trouble?" lie repealed
more gently, holding her gaze for a mo
ment by the spell of his own.
"Nothing! sho mummied tremul
ously, letting her ycs droop.
You deem It nothing, perhaps,"
went on the low, mesmeric voice.; "but
to me It is great deal, nay, evcrythln
-o winti suouiii mow rudely upon you
had I the power to turn it aside!"
He walked on beside her, talking in a
fund, caressing way thatlnailo the girl's
heart throb wildly, until, drawing near
to her home a modest but comfortable
dwelling, where she lived with her
father, Ills sole companion and house
keeper since her mother's death Aithtir
Moutncatli paused, w hlle something like
a frown milled tho smooth whiteness of
ills handsome forehead.
"There Is your father at the door
watching for his little truant," he said
lightly, and adroitly widening tho space
between them. "I will take a stroll
down by the sea, and return iu time for
supper
"Touching his hat, he stolled briskly
oil in another direction, while Millie
went slowly on toward lherhou.se,
"How is this, my glil!" said Joel
Vane, regarding his pretty daughter
with less fondness and more severity
than site ever tcmembercd to have seen,
as she paused before hlin. "Have von
and Waller Norwood been ciuaruilng
"No, father," replied Millie, with
guilty flush that belled her words. "We
have not been quarrelling."
"Ah! I see," persisted her father,
with a shrewd look Into her face. "The
quarrel has been all on your side iu
other words, you'vobeen allowing tho
soft tongue of a man you never saw tin
til six weeks ago to wean you from one
w oi th hls.weight iu cold a prize for any
glil w lio has sense to seo It. As for this
black-a-vised strange!, you need not
fi.ttler your silly little head that he
means anything more than to make a
fool of you jour's Isn't tho first pretty
face those bold black cc3 of his have
looked nonsense Into, I'll he bound! nnd
they've looked It Into your's for the last
time that's settled. If I had thought
this was to bo the upshot of his coming
heie and asking us to take him to board
for the summer, I'd have shut the door
lu his face, though ho hail oilercd twice
as much, and we had needed It twice as
bad. I've been using my eyes while
he's been here, and they haven't told
me anything good about hlin, mid now
in) mind Is made up. There was a look
on Walter Norwood's faco when he
passed here to-night, that never would
have been there If had not been for that
Mnutncath, with his glllterlng eyes and
oily tongue a look I'd give ten years of
my life to remove. I shall tell our boarder
to-night that when ids week Is up he
must leave. He's mighty civil to me,
but I can seo that he doesn't like me
any better than I do hlin, ami the soon
er wo part company for good the better
it will he for all concerned. No.v gn iu
and get supper, my girl, and bo thank
ful as you will pome day, If youare not
now that iu twodaysvnt will say good
bye to that man foiover."
Without a sign, a word, oran upward
look into tho stern, rugged, hut kindly
face, Millie stopped past her father and
wont Into the house like one iu a dream.
"Two days two days 1" rang through
her heart like a knell.
And how could she live after that)
What would 'existence be worth when
ho was gone, from her?
And yet she must let hlin go for now
lu her rudely broken dream, the realisa
tion came upon her with cruel, criwhlug
force, that in all his words of fund en
dearment he had given her no plexlgu
had never yet asked her to be Ids wife.
IIo would surely do so, her fond.
creduloiu heart hid Ldld lar..us tanu:
i now now he wsstttd .fftSsfllli the
words tiuwid go antUv Interne a
dreary biuuk. '
vfl 'if
Live and Let Live.'
Like an nutoinaton she moved around
preparing the simple supper; and as she
iravo the finishing touihas lo tho neatly
laid table, Joel Vane and his boarder
came In
Montneath's eyes met Millie's for a
moment, hut there was no look of ques
tioning at the sight of her pale, tortured
face, and tho gill's heart sank like lead
in her bosom as she sat before her un
tasted men!.
It was river at last.
Millie had Mulshed her tasks for tho
night, and was standing In lite kitchen
doorway, her hands clasped, and an tit
le! ly woe-begone look on her jouag
face, when a. cautious step drew near,
anil a low, modulated voice breathed,
rather than spoke In her ear.
"Get your hat and come down with
mo tothe cliff, Millie! Slip away so that
your, father will not sic you. I will be
waiting for you at llio turn In the road."
For a moment the blood surged holly
in the girl's veins, and then seemed to
recede, leaving her cold as Ice.
It was the first time she had ever been
urged to an act that Involved anything
clandestine or deceitful, and the whole
force of hcrhltheito pure and innocent
life arose in silent protest.
Hut alas! only for a moment then
every other consideration was lost Iu
the one ovcr-powerlng desire to bo with
him to hear his voice, and look back
the love that glowed In those datk, fas
cinating eyes,
"Slipping quietly back Into the. house,
she secured her hat and a light shawl,
and passing swiftly out, sped down the
road like a frightened deer.
Mr. Moutncatli was waiting for her.
Without a word ho drew the little
trembling hand through his arm, and
they walked on until they reached the
cliff a broad ledge overlooking the sea,
and ciilirclv Inaccessible from the
water.
A few large stones scattered about
served as seats; and on one of these
Moiitneath seated himself, drawing the
trembling girl down beside him.
Millie," he said. In a low voice, "do
you know I am going away?"
Millie bowed Iter head in silence she
could not speak.
"Your father told mo to-night that I
must leave his house. Tor some reason
lie seems to have taken an unaccounta
ble aversion to me; so 1 must go but
must it be alone, Millie? or will you
go with me?"
"As your w ife, Arthur?" breathed the
agitated girl
"Certainly.littlconc what else?" She
did not see the cruel compression of the
Hps under the drooping mustache, or
the strange glitter In tho dark eyes, for
her face was hidden on ills breast, lo
which his arm held her close. "Will
yon leave your home your father and
be all the world to me?"
"Yes yes!" she murmured in a par
oxysm of delirious joy
"Then'we must go at once to-night,
Millie ere your father finds a way to
prevent," he.sald, rising with his arm
still around her. "lleturn homo now,
and at twelvo o'clock meet me here
again. He prudent and careful, and in
a few hours more at most, we will be on
the way to "
"To the perdition you have earned
false, black-hearted deceiver!" rang out
In tones that froze the marrow lu their
bones, as they turned to face the Intrttd
er a tall, splendidly formed, regally
beautiful 'woman, but transformed by
excess of passion Intp a veritable fury
standing with her form drawn up to Its
fullest height, outlined against the eve
niiig sky, wiiilein her right hand, lev
clci directly ut Moutncatli, was a gleam
ing pistol.
Up over tlio man s face crept a gray,
ashen pallor, while his knees smote
convulsively together; but save for that
Involuntary motion, he stood as if par
itlyzed by the midden apparition.
"Look you last upon that setting sun
Arthur Montneath!" went on the
Nemesis-like voice, that shining weapon
still looking deatli Into his eyes. "I
swore to track you and the siren who
had won you from nio your betrothed
wite! Ilith your kisses warm upon my
lips, I warned you against any trilling
or unfaithfulness to me I will keep
that vow! You have luoken jour sol
emu pledge wrecked my life trampled
my heart beneath your feet and you
shall pay the price you and the noman
who has caused J on to forget and desert
niel'
As the last words left her Hps, there
was n flash a reverberation anil stag
gering dizzily backward, Montneath fell
to the ground.
'One!' said the desperate woman
with blood-curdling deliberation. "Girl
look once more upon your lover ere you
are stretched beside him!'
Once more Hie weapon was raised and
leveled; but at the same Instant Hie
paralyzed gltl felt herself Hung to one
side, while a moment later Waller Nor
wood tottered to the edge of the lillT
and dlsappt'.itod, pierced by the bullet
he had received in her stead.
That was the hut tiling Millie saw
then, with a wild, frenzied shriek, that
went echoing along tho cliff, sho saul
scnselots upon the ground.

at last; and his thin while hand wan

If
dyed the ghastly pallor of her face, until
then scarcely less haggard titan ids own,
she murmured:
'I must go nnd tell them tho good
news jour mother and all. Shewatch
ing with me until a short time ago,
when I begged her to go and rest
awhile."
And thing quickly she left the room.
For several daj-s longer Waller lay In
a, stupor; not so deep, however, but
that ho was conscious of the gentle,
caressing hand that ministered to his
wants, hut In his iatlon.il moments Mil
lie was not to be seen.
At last he asked forherand shecame;
but so changed from the once gay,
sparkling, willful glil that he would
scarce have known her; and j-ct In the
softened, subdued expression was a new
and sweeter charm than had ever rested
on her face before.
As soon as he could talk the sequel of
that tragic alTalr was told; first, his
part, comprising the fact of his having
seen Millie and her companion when
on their way to the cliff that night, antl
later, having observed the strange wo
man taking tho saiucioulc, had fol
lowed her, actuated by a presentiment
of coming danger, rushing forward just
in time to save llio life of the glil he
loved.
Then Millie related how the pool, mo
ulded woiuap had been found on her
knees beside her Hist victim, lavishing
upon him the wild aud Incoherent en
dearments of a suddenly frenzied brain,
ami had been conveyed to an insane
asylum, where sho had died two weeks
later.
'lint you are saved I" said Waller, as
she finished, and reaching out one thin
hand, he grasped hers tendcrl)-. "Ah,
Millie! I could not heed your mandate
never to come near you again! And j'on
also have broken your vow; for you
have hovered over me like a gootl angel
all thiough my sickness! Shall we take
up our lives again, Millie, and out of
the sad, dead past walk hand in hand
into a happy future?"
IIo relaxed his hold on her hand, but
his own still lay invitingly open on the
counterpane, and Inking It in both her
own, Millie covered it with tears and
kisses.
"Oh, Walter, Waller!" she sobbed.
"All that I am or have Is yours from
this hour, If you can forgive mc! Who
but you would have paid so great, so
fearful a price for my fake. I What can 1
do in leturn but conic to you as I do
now1, my dearest, truest fiiendl"
"For love and life!" was tho low,
fervent response, as he drew her closer
and kissed her.
NIAGARA FALLS.
An Aged Coaplo Who Doa't Know Whether
They Havo Soon Them or Hot.
There was an old couple at tho Third
street depot theother day who had been
to Niagara Falls and were, wulllng for u
train to their home In the Interior of
the State. They just felt that they had
accomplished a big tiling, aud were
consequently quite elated. They had
scarcely taken seats In the waiting-room
before tho old man turned to a stranger
and said:
"We've jlst got back frutn Nlagry
Falls. Powerful sight, them falls aie.
II i ii t nothing like them falls in this
hull country."
"Never heard of 'em," grullly replied
the man.
"You didn't! Lord bless mc, but
that's astonishing! Never heard of Nl
agry Falls!"
"Never. What Is It anyhow?"
"Why, it's tho biggest lot of water
you ever saw, falling over the awfullest
precipice you ever heard of. Why, it
makes folks shiver to look at It."
"Singular that none of tho papers
have ever mentioned It."
"They haven't? Why, them falls has
bin there for thousands of oars."
"H'asn'tlta freshet or a dam broke
loose, or something of that sort?"
"No, siree! That water keeps
pouring ami roaring and humming all
the time."
"Must havo been some trick about
It," caiclessly observed the cynic. "If
it was a real thing there'll be some ex
cltement about It. You don't think?"
"Me drink? I've never drunk a drop
in my life!"
"Well, It's too bad. Any one who
will swindle an old mail like you ought
to be horsewhipped."
".Swindled? Do you purtend there
ain't no Nlagry Falls?"
"Never heard of any such thing " re
plied the man, as he got up aud left.
"Say, Hanncr," replied tho old man
as he turned to his wife after awhile
"did you hear that?"
"Every word."
"Say, when wo get home we'll keep
mum until I see Stebblns and fed
around ami seo if there Is a Nlagry Falls.
If we've bin fooled we don't want to bo
titled at; If It's all light we kin do our
blowing when it's safe and will count.
Don't say Uoal Island, nor Ilors'-shoo
