She was standing under the veran
da in the last sunset rays, with the
honey suckles dancing abov4 her
head. , A graceful head it was,
crowned with masses of brown' hair,-
parted simply over the smooth brow,
and gathered into a heavy knot. She
bad a wonderful beautiful face, too,
though the features were not perfect
ly faultless; the mouth, folded in
full rich curves of melting scarlet
was still too wide to be strictly beau
tiful ; and the chin, though clear-cut
and delicate, was too prominent.--

But the almost marvelous beauty of
the face was in the eyes ; large and
lustrous, and of the - deepest brown,
changing to a derkeri , hue with the
least emotion, and with a dreamy,
far away look in their depths, an ex
pression ',that was not quite sadness,
but was still that "something that
makes think of tears,"
• Her complexion' was as clear and
creamy as the petals of a white rose,
and as colorless, too ; no flush ever
rose to stain "the white cheek;'and
the brow which the brown hair shad
ed ;was as pure as a pow-drift.
She wore a dark gray dress, that
floated about her graceful figure in
heavy lustreless folds, its- sombre
plainness unrelieved by any orna
ment. There was a little expression
of coldness in her face, haughtiness
it might have been, but for the look
of sweetness about the month and
the misty shadow of sadness in the
eyes.
She was a person who& yoti would
look at twice , meeting her anywhere
and always with a vague feeling of
pity, though . the determined, self-re
liant-poise of the head, and the firm,
resolute lips asked for none. She
looked like a person who might have
loved and hated passionately ; and ,
you would- wonder - what had-frozen'
her into this torpid, indifferent, calm,
that the. placid inanimate face and
the dreamy eyes expressed.
A'ripple of song floated out from ,
the open window of 'the drawing
rrm. It was "Mignon's Song,"aung•
in a clear girlish voice, sweet and'
graceful, but , without power -or path
-013. It ceased, and a geiftleman step
ped softly through the window into
the veranda where she stood. She
turned with a little start. .
" Why, Mr. Kingsley," she said,
" how quietly you came. Lthink you
must possess the Invinsible Prince's
wonderful cap, which gave the• pow
er of moving without • touching the
earth, you know." _
" And it carried one wherever he
most wished to be, did it not ? e I do
not wonder that you think I wore it.
If I had, it would certainly 'have
brought me here, to your• side," look
ing earnestly into her eyes.'
The dreamy look had not left them
yet, and her face had a bewildered
expresSion, as if she were wandering
in some far-off dreamland where his
voice could not reach her, or, if it
did, fell on heedless ears—ears that
listened to' other 'and more potent
voices. •

Mr. Wallace Kingsley. He was a
noble-looking-man, of about five-and•

He watched the brown eyes; where
-the shadow gre7 deeper awl, deeper,
for some . moments in silence ; then,
with a little tench o iinpatienbe in
his tone, he said, ."In , what enchant
ed realms do you wander, Miss'
Brent? Per out of mortal , ken they
seem to be, and even- out of .the
reach of mortal voices - to=day."
' She turned toward him , andithe
misty trouble faded, out of: her leyes
as she answered,
_" beg l your pardon
Mr. Kingsley, I heli4ve .1 was dreani
ing. What were you saying ?"
He ,made an effort at commonplace
conversation; not caring to repeatihe
tender words which bidd fallen on her
unlistening ears a few moments be
fore. I • -
Nina has. been singing to ine,"
he " Her voice , is very sweet,
but she sings. 'almost wholly.without
expression!'
' Yes, your-niece - sings ballads bet
ter than the mournful pathetic songs
that she aspires, to, I think. No one
can sing 4 ' Mignon's Song," well who
148 not felt the pain ant} heaxtache,
the passionate grief and longing that
breathes through - it all like: a sorcow
ful, hopeless wail"' • `.,
" 4.nd yet you sing it ei4nisitely,"
he say'. ' Certainly no ode would
1
?Th
imagine you had antlered all that ter
riblesbrrow and pain."
," yr she asked, with a little
troll& inler voice. •
"4 scarcely know why, but you
hav always seemed to me one of
those persona who ' led an imaginntive
sort of life, moving always iin a
dreamy, uncertain sadness, 'of pen
sive thought and' aspect pale!,' like
Tennyson's Margaret, you kno* o and
whose sorrow, ` only sorrow's khade
keeps real sorrow far awayr - ' Yon
move like a shadow in that steel gray
dregs. I don't think You care, for
beauty or luxury- in any form."
." you are mistaken, Mr. Kingsley
--indeed you are mistaken. Mtna
turn is testhetic, craving real happi
ness, gayety and joy and beauty. I
should like to live under those tropic
skies, flushing with radiant diaphan
ous rays, purple t and >scarlet,. and
gold. And the beauty.-of the North
ern 'lands, too, I long to see,; ,where
the ' red glare of the sun falls on
mountains of eternal snow, and shim
.mers on bergs of translucent nrystal.
klike • bright scenes of joyous life,
too ; festal halls with flashing lights,
and tag sparkle of diamonds, full of
dazzfing, k ticintillant rays, , and the
pure gleam of pearls and Opals, drifts
of foamy lace, and the shifting throng
of silks shimmering with rose-colored
lights."
" But you don't care to wear those
shining silks and flashing jewels
yoUrself ; you would stand apart
from the brilliant scenes in your sob
er, nun-like robes, looking on in yofir
dreamy way, enjoying it, perhaps,
but not' with the eager thrqb and
thrill that Nina for instance,' would
feel, with no flush on 'your cheeks,
and no unwonted gleam in your
eye p."
',Perhaps so," She said, quietly.—
" I should like to Wear splendid
robes and . jewelry, because I 'like
harmony. There is no brightness in
my life, no gayety or joy in my heart.
I think they have gone ••from me for
ever."
`" You are very young to speak so
hopelessly," he said ; then, with a
passionate eagerness in his voice, he
went on. " Miss Brent—Madeline,
won't you tell me what this grange
blight is which seems to have fallen
upon your life, crushing out its joy
and hope ? I love you, Madeline
my love gives me the right to know.
Or, if yOu 'will not tell me, give
me the right to woo back the sun
shine to your heart and life.
.. Be my
wife,
Madeline."
- In the dim twilight that had fallen
upon the earth while they stood there
he could seethe pallor that stole ov
er ,her face, the startled, terrified look
in ;her eyes.
" Oh; hush I you don't know what
you are saying. I cannot, must not
listen to you. If you only knew
Mr. Kingsley, I have no right to list
.en , to you. I already am a wife."
;She did not heed his start of sur
.
prtse ; she did_ not once raise her
o,es to,the face whose pallor equal
ed- that- of her owl; bat keeping
them fixed on the dal k [ Bhadow that
thicketed on 'the greenswarif, she went
on calmly and gravely, -like one who
relates a narrative of - commonplace`
incidents in which he has no person
al interest. '
" Yes, I have deceived you all.—
Your sister engaged me as gover
ness for her children without repre•
sentatiou ; she is kind and tender
hearted, and she pitied my homeless
and friendless condition: I did not
tell her of 14 Marriage ; 'because it
was so painful to me to speak of it.
I wished to forget it all, and go back
to my girlhood days, if I s could.' I
was married when was only six
teen, against my father's will ; 4. was
scarcely more than a child, and will
ful and foolish. if hereves some ex

• " We were married privatelyi and

I had no feeling, as I told you; bid
all hope and energy were dead. But
she—the woman with whom flta
lodged—died; and I . was obliged to
seek some refuge from starvation ;
my father was dead, and I had no
friends ; I saw Your sister's - advgr

swered it. I have been content here
I have been awakening from the sort
of dream into which 1 had fallen; 1
do not allow myself to think of the
past, nor of what my life might have
been but for the. terrible, mistake of
my girlhood, but for the:suffering
that crushed youth; and liOper and
joy in my heait. You know now
why I have no heart to dress myself
n gay, bright robes, and that I Wear
thiii dark gray,dress as a sort of:em
blem of my life—not like black, as a
token of deep sorrow and mourning
that may pass away—but of a sad-
ness that is calm and peaceful, but
utterly hopeless." •
The face into which she looked''as
she ceased speaking was pale: and
rigid, and the ; lips • were tightly com
pressed ; but he said quietly,.. in a
voice that was calm and unfaltering,
"You said that his--6-youF husband's
—name was Nelson ?" 4
" Arthur Nelson."
" You are sure that that was his
real name? Might he not haVe giv
en you-an'assumed one ?"
"1 don'ts know. 2ossibly; I never
thought of that," she said, in the
same tone of careless indifference.
"I have had some sorrow in, my
own life," he continued, in the same
qniet,grave tone—"a trouble strange
ly like your Own. I had a cousin
who was left an orphan early—in
his - infancy,iudeed—and was brought
up with us, so that he was to Alice--
Mrs. Rutherford—and me like a
brother. He was abbot three years
younger than I—a bright, roguish
little fellow, the pet of the family;
but he grew up to be wild and dis
sipated. He left his home when he
was sixteen years old, and for years
we heard nothing of him ; but at last
about two years ago, he came home
to us, seeking refuge and protection;
we could' gather nothing from his
wild story, except that he murdered'
some one, and that officers were fol
lowing him. Of course we concealed
hith : the ties of blood are stronger
than the claims of justice. He staid
here ip this house, concealed for
months ; then we obtained a passage
for him to Europe, in a steamer
whose captain had been a friend to_
my father, and who concealed him
in his own state-room. We have
heard from him occasionally since."
He looked down into the pallid
face, into the dark eyes fixed upon
his face, with a look of wondering,
bewilbered indfuiry, and said, "His
name was Arthur Nelson Kingsley."
They stood there a moment in si
lence. His face was very pale, and
his lips pressed rigidly together; but
there was the look on his face of one
who has struggled
. with himself, a
sharp, - desperate struggle, and has
come off conqieror. -'
"Shall
"Shall we 'go in ?" he said, at
length,• as , caltilly as if their conver

They passed through the low win
dow into the lighted drawing-room.
At the further end of the room Mrs.
Rutherford was sitting, her little
form almost buried in the eapacidus
depth of a crimson melvet arm-chair.
A bright, prettrilittlewoman of
thirty-seven, with a .face very like
her brother's in features, very unlike
in expression •; she had bright black:
eyes, as, clear and sparkling as, if no
tears had ever dimmed them, and her
graceful 4ttle head was adorned with
a profusion of black ringlets and
bright cherry ribbons. She was evi
dently not at all one of those haughty,
arrogant 'dames who oppreSe meek
governesses, but. a _loving and ten
der-hearted little woman, who . had
been very kind to the friendlesi gov
erness, and had trusted'.her children
1 1
to'her care without asking any q l es 7
tions as to her past life, which he
saw was painful for her to speak - -
She ,could hardly understand the
served 'and 'self-reliant nature, so
ferent, front her own ; there v
depths in it which she could not fiith
om.,bitt she seemed so pure and
good that she trusted her completely:
There must have-been • misfortnneln
her past life; she was sure thatlhele
'could have been no guilt.
Mr. Kingsley led her to-Mrs. Ruth

this is our cousin—this is . .drthui's

And :after.. the first bewildered

must have suffered, clasped - her-in

constant &saute to ;Madeline to
watoh her free, joyous 'nature ;
through it she seemed almost to find
her way back to.the freshness of her
own ehildhOod r that had appeared' so
far 'and to conceal all the
weary joyless yearathat lay between
it. and the present. So she wo
not give herup to another's'eare •.
Mrs. Rutherford,' with eye, ads

but he had won the
ig abroad; he had
long been contemplating going in
sea;ch of his cousin, of : whom for
nearly a year they had heard noth
ing; and now he felt that he could
not stay—that it was better for him
to go. And so, in the first dreary
- November days he went ; and the
long winter gassed, cheerless and
lone, but still made brighter to Mad:
eline than any since her childhood
had been, by the clinging love of Ni
na; and-lirs.-Rutherfoid's iympathiz
ing, sisterly affection, before whose
tenderness Madeline's coldness bud
reserve gave way. '
They had letters Often from Mr.:
Kingsley, whey was seeking- always,
through' busy. European cities, - and
p,eaceful hamlets, under bright and,
clouded.skies, in glad, hopeful sun-.
shine, and dreary, alining rains, for
him' who was doomed 'to be all his
life long an outcast and - a wanderer
upon the 'face of the earth. At
length a letter came to the patient
Waiters at home ? saying that he had
found • traces-of him.; and the next
letter, waited for with such anxious
suspense, told them that he had
found him, but that he could never
be restored to them in this world.
He had found him ill, dying, at a
little wayside ' inn ; he had recog
nized his icouein, and told him of his
wife, with' whom. his Jest thoughts_
seemed. to be ; he had begged him
to seek her, and ask her to forgive
him for the wrong that he had done
her. And so he had died there in a
foreign land.; and they to whom he
had caused so much misery wept
tears of unfeigned grief for him, and
remembered him with the blessed, '.
merciful memory in which the dead
are ever held, -striving to_ think of
him only as he had been in other
day , and to forget the wretched
foll and crime that had darkened
his later years. -And so Wallace
Kin sley's quest was ended ; ,hut
stil he did net return home. j 'The
spring came, joyous and,sweet/,- with
bahhy breath, and robes of

winter that, followed; Madeline kat

she said, ' simply, "Yon staid so

her always. And so, after her long,
dreary night, the 'day dawned ; a
bright, rosy &Irking, in a sky where
there were no. clouds. ; .
