MY AUTUMN" WALK.
W.M. CUbl.K.V llUVANT.
On woodlands ruddy with autumn
The timber sunshine lies)
I look mi tlio beauty round nie,
And tears come Inlo my eyes.
For the wind that sweeps the meadows
Blows out of the far Southwest,
Where our gallant men arc fighting,
And the gallant dead arc at rest.
The golden-rod Is leaning,
And the purple aster waves
Inn lircec from the lauds uf battles,
A breath from the laud of grilles.
Full fast the leaves arc dumping
Before that waudcihig breath;
As fast, on the field of battle,
Our brctliciu fall In death.
Beautiful oer my pathway
The forest spoils are shed:
They are spotting tlio grassy hillocks
Willi purple ami gold and red.
Beautiful Is tlio death-sleep
Of those who brawly light
In their country's holy ipiarrel,
And perish for the light,
Hut who shall comfort the llilng,
The light of whosu homes Is gone:
The bride that, caily widowed,
I.iics brokcu-hcaitcd on;
Tlie matron w hose sons are lying
In gravis on n distant shcre;
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back fiom the war no more?
I look on the peaceful dwellings
Whose windows glimmer In siht,
With croft and garden mid orchard
That bask in Ihe mellow light;
And I know Hint, when ourcouticrs
With news of victory come,
They w 111 bt lug n bitter message
Of hopeless grief to some.
Again I turn to tl-.e woodlands,
And 1 shudder as I see
The mock-grape's blood-icd banner
Hung out oil the cedar tlue.
Ami I think ot days of slaughter,
And the ulgiit-sky red with ll.im.es,
On tiic Chattahoochee's meadows.
And the w asted h.iuks of ttio James.
O for the fresh spi Ing-scason,
When tlie spines are In their prime,
At.il lnraway In the furiuro
Is thu frosty uutiimu-tlmc!
O for that belter season,
When the pride of the too shall yield,
And the hosts of Ood and Freedom
March back from Ihe well-won field;
And the matron shall clasp her llrst-born
Willi tears of Joy ami pride;
And the scarred ami war-worn iover
Shall claim Ids promised bride I
Tlie lcaies are swept Iror.i the branches;
But tlie lliing buds are llii io,
With folded flower and foliage,
To spiout In a kinder air.
A Broken Life.
MY M. KlIXUN 110I.A1IAX.
In their own misery, men are moiu
apt to bu sellish and exacting than wo
men, even when through some rash,
mad act of tlieii- own, that misery is
caused.
So it Is that ltobcrt Alt wood sits In
tlie parlor of his own home, the twilight
of early spring falling around 1 1 lit in
lender gloom, wlille the glow from tlie
maible llrepl.ico dickers and fulls on the
luxuries that wealth alone can procure,
mid dies around the slim form of his
wife seated before the grand piano
dreamily touching the sensitive keys.
His wilel Vet he sits, as lie lias been
sitting for the last hour, starim; Into the
glowing coals and picturing a face not
.hat of Ids young wHe, but which is ever
with liltu, waking or sleeping, neverthe
less the face of 1. a lira Ilcthbuni.
A face so peerless In its beauty that
men have committed ci lines fur less:
so flawless in Its brilliant contour as to
dazzle his senses and blind him to the
sweet purity and beauty of the ivoman
whom, in a moment of desperation, he
had made his wife.
And now, although bitterly repenliug
the folly of it, he was still compelled by
the law of God and man to submit to
know that tho years would slip on and
drag through that life Itself would end,
yet Cara would stand between him and
the woman hu would ever love. In the
very thought was madness, and sudden-
ly he turns from the thought of such
expiation with:
"For Heaven's sake, Cara, aro yon
going to practice all night? I wish you
would manage to do your practicing
Its! ,,, .,,, ,,rv. ,. ,!,'
shies, It Is time to dress for the ilor-
u bile 1 am away; it is so irritating. He-
daunt affair."
Huddenly the dreamy sadness of the
vvaltz, so like the vague, unutterable.
sadness of Cara Altwood's life, ceases
with a crash; aud even as It ceases,
Robert Allwood rises, and, ashamed
perhaps of his senseless temper, crosses
to the gas, lights It, and turns lu sud.

It?" lie cries, staring helplessly at the
bowed head and tear-drenched face that
the gaslight reveals. "You nre con
stantly In tears tears for which you
give no earthly reasont Is thero any
thing you want?"
She looks tip, and for the first time In
his life Robert Altwood detucts a gleam
ing ray of proud, resentful (ire In lirr
brown eyes, a world of haughty pride In
the Voice which nnswers:
Yes, Kohcrt Altwood, I do want
many things tilings wiiicli you have
put It beyond my power possess. Can
you give me bark the dreams which you
have wrecked, the life you have blighted,
and the hopes you have made Illusions?
What have I ever dono that you should
spoil my life, put It beyond my power to
ever find happiness? Ah, Heaven, that
I had never seen you I"
And staring at her In blank misery he
echoed the wish with:
Twas a mad mistake, for which all
my lite 1 must atone. Pray let us have
no scenes. Iicniembcr not jou nlone
aro miserable. Nothing can avail us
now."
That was all. In his cold cruelty he
walked from the room, and nil night
long In the brilliant crowded rooms,
while she sat dumbly staring, he hung
on the very words of tlio capricious
beauty Miss Hcthburn forgetting
even the obstacles w hlch separated them
In his-wild Infatuation, and uttering
woids that afterward lie would have
given his life to recall; words, tlio very
memory of which evcrafterward brought
a flush of shame to his cheek.
''if the old times were back, Laura,
he whispered, drawing her toward lilm
on the marble balcony In .all tlio bril
liant beauty which blinded his honor.
"If I were free again, darling, would It
be otherwise? 'Tis you who should have
been my wife not she. If I would if
I could be free again, Laura "
Moved, perhaps, by the passion
trembling In his voice; perhaps by a
triumph of her own power, and tho ut
ter impossibility of the thing he sti;
gested, the proud beauty bent her proud
head, and touched his hand lightly
with her perfect Hps,
"If vou were free If this wretched
mistake had not parted us, Ilcbcrt,
would have been your wife."
More followed In low, thrilling tones,
but neither saw the slim, dark figure
crouching there against the shadowy,
Ivy-grow n pillar, w ith the look of death
less pain on her white face.
A few days later, strangely calm and
self-possessed, Cara Altwood entered
the library where her husband sat, with
a roll ofpapeis In her slip hand.
She laid them on tlm table before him,
saying simply: "Head and sign them,
It Is best for us both."
He perued them every wotd eery
line, yet scarcely realized that they were
the papers which legally set him tree
from the woman he had so rashlv
mail led.
"You understand!'' she asked at last
"It Is a divorce a separation. Money
can procure anj tiling but happiness
You, at least, am free.
Hu looked up Into her faeo so coldly
white and asked hoarslev :
"Is it your wish, Cara? I do not wish
to make you miserable, (lod knows."
She turned to the open window with
a slow smile of contempt.
"Yuur consideration comes too late,'
she said; "since wo have been married
it seems to have been vour ambition to
make me as miserable us you possibly
could. You seemed to havo forgotten
that I, too. was human capable of joy
or pain. Now vou have only to forge
that I ever came into your life forge
that you ever spoiled my life and be
happy with the old love, who would
nivrry you If yon were free."
And well-knowing, with a sense
self-shame and abasement, that she ha
been a witness to that scenn on the bal
cony, Robert Altwood took Ills freedom,
vaguely conscious that It scarcely
brought the happiness hp had expected.
Cara had absolutely refused any al
lowance, any settlement from hlui.witli:
"When 1 met you I had only my
honor and a loving heart. The heait
you hale broken; tho honor, eyen asso
ciation with your 'set' has not taken
from me! I can go gladly back to the
old life of work, praying God to lei me
forget."
And the months rolled on. Free and
unfettered in the eyes of the world, Rob
ert Altwood's Infatuation for the lovely
belle was ended with:
"Hut nonsense, ltobcrt. Of course I
could not marry you a divorced man.
Who would ever have thought . Hut
there! Here Is my partner for the next
waltz. Take ury advice find yourllttle
wife and make It up. You should never
have let her go."
In his splendid, lonely home, ltobcrt
' Altwood at last lealized his own folly.
What a worthless Idol his had been
after all; and what a proud, sweet na
ture he had cast from him for the glit
tering Illusion 1'
If only he could find her If only ho
could go down on his knees, and beg
her to forgive and trust him again, Le
i would have done so, without daring to
, hope that she would come back to let
' him atone through all thejearsof his
life.
Sho had disappeared as completely
from his life as If she had never been,
and In the rooms where she had so often
irritated him by her very presence,
Robert Altwood now sat and yearned
for i,cr ia tho lonllncss of his heart.
Without,
the wind shrieked and
i whistled In a mournful tone the re-
nulem to everv hope lie had ever pos-
sessed of happiness and brooding be

standing bcrore him thin, pale and only niv jealous heart would hush its
white with a tiny bundle wrapped In her 1 mad throbbing suspicion,

"You will keep him," Cara continued clan, playing on the piano, harp, violin
in a weak, pitiful voice, holding out her
wasted arms toward him. "The
mistake was not his fault, you know.
I could not support us both, and I was
fratd that 1 should die and leave him
to the cold mercy of strangers. Tell
your wife how It Is, and "
"I have no wife but you, Cara," he
answered tenderly, taking wife and
child in his strong arms. "I have even
tried to pray that you might return, well
know ing I did not deserve your forgive
ness. Now you have come, I will never
let you go again 1 Can you let me atone,
darling can you trust me once, again,
and let the 'dead past bury Its dead?' "
I can trust you, I think," she
whispered through happy tears, "and I
know that I cannot live without iuy boy
and you."
And remembering all the past, in
which he alone was guilty, Robert Alt
wood thanked God for the happiness
which had reached him in spile of all

BEYOND THE SEA.
Betw een me and my darlings
Are miles and utiles of spaces
But always in the twilight,
I sec each little face:
I sec their hands close folded.
In prayer, at mother's knee,
And whisper In the breezes,
"Go kiss them all for me."
And then I sit and listen,
And often think I hear
Their sleepy llttlo voices
Mako music In my car.
I fancy that I hear them
Breathe loving thoughts for me,
In prayers that you have taught them
To utter at your knee.
And then my heart grows tender
With longing for lis own
For Ihe children and their mother,
Beside Ihe old hearthstone,
"(lod bless and kecu them for me," '
I whisper, prayei fully,
"And take mo to my dear ones,
Who wait beyond the sea."
A BITTER ORDEAL
BY M. E. HOI.AltAN.
I am very proud and happy as I sweep
down the long, cool alslo of the cliurrii
where I have been baptized where
some day I shall enter, and leave, never
to "walk alone" again the wife of
Ucnzll Harvey, whose betrothed wife
already am.
I steal a side glanco at his face so
full of powrr,culture and grand strength.
I nestle even closer to his side, and the
harmony of the organ swells on the air.
"Look up, Harvey," quickly whisp
ers my brother Jack, with his
own eyes devoutly dow ncast. "Another
new organist a divinity. Tlie fourth
In a month. Extravagant!"
Although not exhorted to do so, I lift
my eyes discreetly until they rest on the
choir, then single out the form and face
of tho new organist.
Her face is fair-tinted as a sea-shell
and rounded in soft, elilld-like curves o:
cheek and neck and chin; the nose is
very small and slightly, daintily "tip-
tilted," while her mouth Is the sweetest
the most perfect I have ever seen, al
though there Is a pathetic droop at the
corners, 1 think.
nven w idle I am gazing her eyes meet
mine, and I sec then that they are in
perfect harmony with her mouth! So
large, dark, unsDeakably beautiful, and
full of a deep, thoughtful sadness;
glorious contrast to the pale-gold ring'
lets that droop beneath the edge of her
crape hat in shining tendrils.
Carelessly her eyes rest on my face.as
carelessly they pass and rest on Den.
zil's, and Iseu a sudden change In their
great, lustrous splendor. What It Is I
cannot explain perhaps mingled pain,
passion, regret and reproach.
There Is a momentary crash of the
organ, a lull, then the music goes on as
before, only that Ihebiown eyes are not
raised again while the service lasts.
When I again dare to look In Dcnzil's
face, we are seated In the carriage on
the road home. That to-day Is not the
llrst time hu has seen the organist I am
sure, for to his face also has come a cer
tain change, deepening the lines and
hardening tho stern, powerful eyes.
"Pretty young for a widow, Isn't sho,
that organist?" .lack says suddenly
while we are seated at dinner. "Hut
she Is a widow the Reverend Philips
told mo so named Mrs. La Rue. She
Is stoppina at the rectory, and they are
to have a mustcale Thursday night, In
which they wish us all to tako part.
Will you, Clarke? Of course- Harvey
will. lie's right to home In such
things."
Some Instinct bids me beware, not to
tempt my life-long happiness; but a
leellng of unrest, of wonder, of hurt
pi hie, is in in y hcait.
I must see them together, must read
some atom of the truth In their faces
again; so I answer a gay alllrmatiye, all
the time watching Denzll's fare, but
beyond that added bterncss It gives no
sign of emotion.
As leading musicians and paiishlon
crs we are asked to come early, there
fore I stand, alone beside Denzll when
we are formally presented to Mrs. La
Rue.
If ever there has been anything be
tween these two, they have schooled
their feelings well, for neither the ex
quisite, llow er-llke face of tho woman,
nor the stern, haughty one of Denzll
- 1 expresses more than common courtesy,
Itellmyselflh.it It was faney, that I
twill not make myself miserable by,
doubts and fears. What If they Have
met befote? Ilut then. If they have.why
should not Deuzll acknowledge It? Why
. . . . .
should they meet and. pass as stnucers?

pastes pleasantly euottjh, aud I have

If
and guitar with almost equal skill
It seems odd to think of -this woman
with the sweet, flowcr-llko face nnd un
assuming, tender grace of figure and
manner as having been married at all.
She must havo loved her husband
very much, I think, that his death could
write such unutterable sadness In her
face. She cannot be more than twenty
one. Won't you sing, Mrs. La PiUe?" I
ask presently.
I should llko to hear her voice In
song. I think I could judge her better
whether the object of her love was
living or tlrad.
I never sing any more," sho says.
with a slow smile. "I think niv voice
would break and die away if 1 attempted
it. I lovo vocal music, and won't you
ing. Miss Relnalt?'
I sing as requested, and the wonder
Is that I do not break down myself, for
when I look at Ucnzll I find his eyes
fixed on Mrs. La Rue's face with such
passionate, despairing intensity that
witli difficulty I suppress a cry of pain.
For in that look is disclosed emotion
of such Intense dcptli and power as
ucver have I been able to call forth.
In that look Is his nature revealed
not calmly, coldly tender, as I have al
ways known him but capable of joy or
pain to the very extreme of madness.
Whatever Laurlu La Rue has been to
him I know not. 'I only know that my
own heart Is on lire with doubt, torture
and fear,
All, Heaven! what Is this cloud which
lies between us, pressing so heavily on
my heart? Why Is It that I, who love
him so well, hayo not.povvcr to break in
any way the calm, courteous self-pos
session of his nature?
I want to scream out In my mad,
yearning pain; I want to use some des
perate extreme, lest I should go mad;
but, even as society people generally do.
give no outward sign until I am In
niv own room the uoor locked bcuinti
me.
Then I sink crushed with a hope-
less apathy on the floor beside the
wludow-slll, and hide my face upon-my
arms.
I try to picture my future as it will be
hopeless In any case, for If I marry
Denzll Harvey I shall do so with the
full conviction that his heart belongs to
another.
If I do not marry him Ah, Heav
en, all tlie long weary years to come ami
go I Not that not that! Uettcr to look
on my own funeral.
Without, tho soft wind is sobbing
against the lattice of my window, and
the white moonlight lies heavy on dewy
sin ub and sleeping flower, with God's
sky bending above. I step out and
down the long garden path even
thiough the rustling becch-gtovc, and
down what fatality draws me there?
to Iho edge of the lake which glistens in
the moonlight.
Hut evidently I am not the only one
beside, the lake to-night; and 1 am al
most upon them before I recognize with
a pang of wild, passionate pain the fig
ures of Denzll Harvey and Mrs. La line,
and his voice, fraught with passion
cold, sneering, mocking as I have nev
er heard it come.
"I could not sleep," he says. "I am
even fool enough to have not yet for

I spoke with you I felt that I should
go mad. Does your power to mar my
happiness that much pleasu you still,
Mrs. La Rue?"
To the mocking question she gives no
reply, but I can see that her little hands
aro loosely clasped before her that her
great dark eyes aro thoughtfully fixed
on a spot far out where the moonlight'
strikes the water.
Denzll's voice continues, changln
from a sneer to a wild, passionate re
gret.
"You were so sure of your power over
me. Did you come hero to iuake a fool
of sue the second time, only lo again
throw me over for a newer favorite.
Spare your pains I am beyond your
power engaged to a woman with
heart-Miss Relnalt."
Then she looks up suddenly, involun
tarily tluowing out her hands with
gesture of passionate pain.
"Don't!" she pleads hoarsely. "1 on
aro cruel as the grave. Has not my
life since then been atonement sufficient
for my folly! I was false to you I mar

girlish folly and pique, for which the
woman has repented, I married him,
but 1 always loved you, Denzil. And

forever."
The sudden gleam ot two white up
lifted hands,,a gurgling splash, and the
glimpse of a lovely faeo above which the
waters baslned below the stono wall
close eagerly; then a man's hollow
groan, another leap, and I am standing
alone on the bank of the lake, wonder
lug if It is not all a iilglilmate.
Hut, thank Heaven. Ihey rise lo the

the sellish love Ir my heart; for bending
