OVER THE RIVER,
"V xancv Amelia wooihiuRv miiknt.
Over the river they beckon to inc.
I-oved ones who 'vo crossed to the farther side,
I lie gleam of their snowy robes I see.
Hut their voices are lost In the dashing title.
There's one with rhifftets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection ot heaven's own blue
lie crossed lutiie tn Might gray and cold,
And the pale inlsthld him from mortal view
Wd saw not the angles who met him there,
The nates of the city wo could not see i
Over the rler, over the river,

Over the river tho boatman pale
Carried another, the household pelt
Her brown curls waved In the gpiille gale,
Darling Minnie 1 1 see yet.
Sho crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom hark;
Wo felt It glide from tho stiver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dnik;
We know sho Is safo on the farther side,
Where all tho ransomed nnd angels he:
Over tho river, tho mlstle river,
My childhood's Idol Is watting for inc.
l'or none return from those quiet shores,
We cross with the boatman cold and pale;
Wo heat the dip of the golden oars.
And catch n gleam of tho snowy sail!
And lo! they have passed from yearning hearts,
i ncy cross tlie stream and are cone for ave.
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision tho gates of day;
Wo only know that their barks no more '
.Many sail with us o'er life's storinv sen:
Vet somewhere, I know, on tho unseen shore.
They watch, and heron, and wait for ine.
And I sit and think, when tho sunset's gold
Is flushing river nnd hill and shore,
I shall one day stand hy the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar-
I shall watch for a gleam of tho flapping sail,
I shall hear the boat as It gains the strand.
I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the hotter shore of the spirit land.
I shall known the loved who havo gone before,
Ann joyiuiiy sweet win I lie meeting be.

'You do not believe me, at least yom
oyes express as much. VtUy should I de
ceive you what could be my reason for
sayinff what I have said did I not know It
was true?"
Jiaud Branksome's laBls" hazull eyes
rested full on tho young man's disturbed
faco as she spoke.
"I do not know jour reason.ilaud only
this I do know; you have spoken words
that were you a man I would not listen as
calmly to1"
I spoke In jest, perhaps," she laughed,
a warmer flush staining her checks.
'Was It a jest, Maud, or or has Evelyn
Mannerlng another lover? That was your
Insinuation."
Under her long.swceplng lashes an exult
ant light cntpt Into the girl's eyes, the next
moment sho let them rest full upon his
faco.
"What I have said I will prove, if you
conio with me this evening at 8 o'clock."
"I will go with you,"" he answered slow
ly, "to prove to you that you haye mis-!
judged-my promised wife."
Six months before Evelyn Mannerlng had
come to the Denver homestead as governess
to a little dark-eyed boy, the grandson of
the haughty mistress of It, the only child
of her daughter, who had given her life for
his.
It was said that Anna Denver had re
ceived some great shock before tho little
one's birth ono thing sure, she had been
found whits and unconscious by her young
husband, ami from that day till the day of
her death sho had never been the same,
her death which came three months later.
William Mastetson, her husband, had
married a year after her death; but accord
ing to a promise given, he left his boy with
Mrs. Denver.
To their stately home Evelyn Jfanncrlng
had been welcomed more as a guest than a
overncss, for she and Annie Denver had
been bosom friends at school, and when
Leigh Denver fell In love with her, and
asked her to be his wife, bis mother made
no objection, though she would much rath
er tils choice had fallen on Maud Brank
somc, her husband's ward, and who lived
with them from childhood.
liaised with Leigh Denver, Maud
Uranksome knew the ono failing of an oth
erwise generous and loyal nature jealousy,
and sho saw It In hint now, despite the
cold, proud surprise of his manner.
Sho laughed low and mockingly.
"That I have misjudged her? For your
sake, let us hope so. If so, you will for
give me. Leigh?"
With a gesture of Impatience he turned
away, then returned to her side.
"I will hold you to your words, Maud.
This evening at eight, o'clock; and yd
Maud, do not for a moment be led into the
error of thinking that, for one moment, I
doubt tho honor and truth of Evelyn Man
nenng." The girl shrugged her shoulders, a half
scornful light shot into her eyes.
Despite his efforts to hide It, sho knew
her words had told.
Slowly but snrely she had sown suspicion
in his heart, and al length It had taken
root.
"I do not blame you," she said; "you
have the Denver pride, but you will believe
roe when "
"You prove It," ho said.
Then, without another word, he turned
away and left her standing there, the warm
Hush stilt on her cheek, the scornful light
still In ber eyes.
Left alone.tlio ghl walked swiftly up and
down the room, her hands clasped tightly
together.
"IIow ho loves herl how he loyes her!
and I I am nothing to him. Ah, heavens,
I could lake her life, but her happiness
must content me. Ah, God! If I should
fail! Dut no. Sho Is paying him for his
silence, for Leigh Denver's sake, and for
the sake of the proud woman who Idolizes
ber little grandson."
She drew a slip of paper from her pocket.
".licet mo at the old oak at eight o'clock.
I must have tho money at once. ItEGin."
She laughed low.
"More will be thero than fair Evelyn,"
she said; "he Is the man, and Well the
woman was In the shadow, I will leave
myself at the loophole of escape."
Up and down tho broad, old-fashioned
garden-path Evelyn Mannerlng was walk
ing, a broad hat shading her delicate face,

One hour later sho stood at the old onk
In tho groyo, a handsome dark-eyed man
at her side.
She laid a roll of bills in his hand.

she said. "You will go to somo other land

"He would scorn mo."
"If Hold him that "
"Hushl for God's sake, hush! What
good would it do you? He Is proud-
My God! Leigh."
With a scornful smile on his Hps, his
oyes dark with passion, Leigh Denver stood
before them, and at his side, her brilliant
faco colorless, Maud Branksome.
"What Is this man to you, Evelyn?'
Leigh said. "What does this mean?"
Evelyn's face had grown pallid.
"Answer me," he said; "I must know
the truth."
A shudder swept over her, but her pale
Hps framed no answer.
"I will tell you," Maud llranksomc said,
Ho is her husband. I saw them wed."
A low cry rang from Evelyn's Hps; the
man laughed aloud as Maud continued.
"Once ariothcr lady, two gentUmen and
sought shelter in a church that stood con
venlently open, as if it know a thunder
storm would drive us there. There was a
marriage in tho church at the time I dis-
tlnctly saw tho man coming down the aisle
of tho church where ho had returned for
something forgotten; the woman or girl.for

hardly judge which was she, for there were
two, and both had palo gold hair, werancar

them, 1 could almost swear, w.ib this lady
Eyelyn Mannerlng."
"Is this true?" .
Passing Eyelyn, Leigh faced the man.
"Is it true?" he repeated.
Tlie man laughed.
"I never dlsputo a lady's word," he said,
"You could ' not,"' Maud
said slowly.
"You xocrc the man!"

"Yes, I was tho man.
Have I denied

"And Hie woman was icio?'
said.

"I will leave that for Jlss Mannerlng to
tell or not, as she pleases," the man re
plied. Then without another word he turned
and left them.
Leigh sprung after him.
"Iwlllchoku tho truth from you!'' ho
said. "I will know the worst."
"For God's sakel let him go!" Evelyn
said, "for God's sako and mine."
"For yours?" Leigh said, his voice un
naturally calm, ids faccgrowlng haggard in
tho moonlight. "For your sake, you ask
mo to let him go? Evelyn, what Is ho to
you? Tell me this Is all a mad mistake,
and that ho is nothing Mako any ex

Evelyn's faco was white as death.
"Can you do this?" ho said, "(Jan you

A low, bitter cry rang from Evelyn's
lips, as sho threw up her hands with a pas
sion of despair, and fell unconscious at
Maud Branksome's feet!

agalust the colonnade of one of the fash

something underlying It all, that spoke of
past pain and passion in his life.
He had fought tho battle bravely people
said Leigh Denver was changed, but how
they could hardly tell; but to none was it
so clear as to tho mother who Idolized him,
and the woman who had wrought his woe
Maud Bianksome.
A man Is seldom proof against the strata
gems of two women, when one is a woman
madly In love with him, the other his
mother, and her friend and abettor, and
tho undying pain at his heart, the memory
that the woman he loved was the wife of
another, to help them both. That he, a
Denver, clung to a passion that caused him
shame, and yet and yet ho knew, while
lite lasted, tho memory ot that first love
dream would linger with him knew it,
even when .Vaud Branksome's eyes were
smiling Into his, the long lashes scarce
veiling tho passion at her heart.
How It happened ho could hardly tell;
how they managed it lie never know, only
