She was not pale Sylviawhen this
story of hers begins. She had a color
that would have been kt once the
delight and the despair Of a paintet
Ray Croydon, who was a painter
every inch; if an unsuccessful
_one,
used to say that her cheek was like
nothing but a velvet rose leaf against
the light; and, making allowance for
a lover's exaggeration, his simile was
not far out of the way.
For Ray was her lover, not quite
her betrothed, for, thOugh Sylvia con-
rented, her father refund, and Sylvia
would not disobey him even for Bay's
sake "I cannot bind myself to, mar
ry you agaimTit my fathees will," she
Said. ":/ can only promise : never to
. marry illy other, and, if you ~care
enough for me to'wait, you must be
content-With that " • •
r . Bay did care, quite enough, and
!was content—rperforce.
It was not that Colonel Dorchester
disliked Ray on the contrary, the
young fellow was a favorite with him.
If .only be - had. been Fortune's favEr.
ite, too 1 For the Colonel, himself a
poor man, would not give to ariother
yet poorer his only childithe very
apple . of his. eye. But, if 'a prudent.
;father, he was a kind one, too, and
set his requirements at the very low. :
es' mark consistent with any degree
of -worldly wisdbm. " Let Ray show
me that he is sure of 'bread and
cheese, and I= will provide the•wed
ding cake," be said; pinching Sylvia's
cheek, the rose-leaf cheek, as lovely
in ihis eyes as in - those of her lover
himself.
If one could but draw on the bank
of 'ambition, and parcel out colored
canvass into so many yards of bank
notes, it would not have been long to .
wait. Bay painted - and 'dreamed of
great things in the future, arid forgot
how, meanwhile, the present was
slipping away, day by day, till all at
once he bethought himself' that a
year had , passed since Colonel Dar
chesteraltiltimatum had been spoken.
A whole year! And what had he to
show fur it that would bring Sylvia
any the nearer? .The conviction sud
denli struck cold to his heart that he
should. never win,her thus. " The:
choice la between ylvia and fame,"t
he said to hiMself—it fis so natural:
for every young aspirant to believe
that fame is his for the choosing !
The brush dropped from his fingers.
lie bent. his , face in his hands, and
kept it hidden there for many mo
meats. , When he raised it again it
was very pale;and almost stern; yet
it_ was kindled by some steady, inner
light. "I choose Sylvii I" he said.
e . pushed his palette aside,' and,
with a brief, reluctant glance at the
unfinished, canvass, turned it to the
wall. _Then he left the studio, and
went straight to a merchant, an old
friend of his father's.
" You offered me a place in China
the other day," he said, abruptly,;
"if you will give it to me now, I will
take it."
- So the thing was done.. Colonel
Darche4er, on learning it, applauded
the young man's resolution. " China
is a long look ahead ; but, at the
worst, it. is nearer than-the studio—
no offeuse to you, Ray," he said with
a smile. "
And to Sylvia? Ali, to Sylvia , it
seemed indeed- a long, long outlook.
In spite of all that hung on the. Jour
!fey; she could almost bare wished
that Ray bad remained iii the studio,
where he would not, at least, hive
been lost to sight and hearing.; the
present might be wasted time, per
haps,, but it was very sweet to; her,
and she had more faith than Ray in
the future's chances. But, of all this,
she breathed not a word to him; and
when, holding her hands, and search
ing her face for some comfort, he
said, "Sylvia, I shall come back to
claim you in a year or two—you will
wait for me till then ?" it was with a
smile that she answered :
Come back in one year or twenty,
Ray, you will find me as - yon left-me.
' • I will never: be the wife of any other."
`And, with' that. the last good-bye .
wasssa - Ray Croydon sailed in
search of the fortune he fancied was
waiting for bim on the other side of
the world. , And, on this side, every
thing went:on, the same. Ray was
gene, to be inn); bat did' the sun
rise sud 'pet any the leas for that ?
did the butelid and the - baker forget
to come, or people cease to eat and
drink, because an unsuccessful artist
bad turned his canvasses to the will;
and, -for loiiee sake abandoned all
he loved • t 110, nobody fasted for
.Ray; nobody, perhaps, after a little,
I remembered that there was even a
Ray to fist for—nobody. but Sylvia.
'As for - Colonel Darebester, be as
suredly did not fast. :He was 'lorry

gone: He , had listened with a quiet
smile, half pitying, half amused, to
Ray's talk of. "a year or two ;." for
being considerably older, and a good
deal wiser r he -radioed all that a
China-made fortune meant. ‘"lt will
give Sylvia a chance," he, said to
himself. "Long before Bay finds his
apple,ripe for racking, they will both
have fortotten this childish non-
sense." To be sure the Colonel did
not know of Sylvia's parting pledge;
but, had he known, it is to be feare
he would not have made mnch'ac•
count of it. Ile had faith enough in
Sylvia, but not, in her age. How was
eighteen to know its own heart ?
'One makes allowances for friends
in another hemisphere; but,atill, one
does expect to hear from them finid-
ly. \- But, from the time whn Ray
groydoii said' his•. goOd-bye., e tO her,
Sylvia,•never had a word from him—
never one. word, although she had
heard casually_ from other sources,
that be had arrived safely, and en-
tered on the.pciat assigned him. That
was au; enough—yet, but for
that, - he nliglitlave been lost, dead,
for anything Sylia knew. It was
all ; but; coupledwlth his silence, it
was. more than enough.' Yet, whitt•
ever of wonder, of `donbt or pain
might bare been in Oylvia's heart,
she breathed it to no \portal ear.
Only, after a' little while, . he ceased
to write these. poor little letters where
so much love and trust 14d. been
wasted, and silently banished \ all
token of him from the daily life.- It
was no part of her father's purpose
to ireca I him, so Ray's name was
.never spoken now between those two,
to'whom it- had been as familiar as
each other's.
But one day Colonel Dorchester
came home with a preoccupied,
troubled air.. His eyes followed Syl
via. with a wistful glance; that
sl unned while seeking hers. She
looked up and, meeting her father's
gaze, - came and stood beside. him,
laying her band, on his_ shoulder.
_ .
You have something t o tell me of
Ray Croydon, father," she said, in a
low voice. .
How - had she read his secret, he
wondered, as be looked up fondly m
the face bending over him—j . -such a
transparent face as it lo9ked in the
dickering fireligiA., Why had he
never siren the, change before ? A
sudden pang of dread changed the
current of his thoughts. Was this
his blush•rose—as that unpractical
young artist• had calked her in the
foolish, by-gone time ? Ah, but was
it wholly by-gone ? Could it be l , that
all this time while Sylvia bad kept
in her heart that her silence had' not,
meant indiffermiCe? The pressure of
Sylvia's lingers recalled him from his
reverie ; hesitatingly, in this new
fear ; he told his news.
• It was not such as would admit of
Much preparation; simply that Bay
Croydon *as goi.e—why, or where,
no one knew or could discover; there
was the bare fact, and nothing more.
Sylvia heard it with. a calniness
that, but a little before, would have
satisfied her father; but now an
anxiety had arisen in his mind which
would have its way. By•and•by he
retuined to the . subject.
" Sylvia," he 'said, abruptly, it is
more than two years since--since all
that happened."'
Sylvia bowed her head, ;bat made
no other answer.
",Two years is along time," con=
tinned her flither, "especially at your
age. My child, I cannot be with you
always. If I, could know that there
was some one to take my place when
I am gone." Still Sylvia 'did not
speak, and he resumed: " You know
whom I mean. Sylvia, pia know ;
that John Hastingi wants you for his
wife, and that I would gladly give
you to him ; for, apart from his for
tune and position, he is all that I
could desire for your busband." l
"Do not ask me, father!" cried
Sylvia, breaking, in a moment, from
that deceitful calm. "If Ray Croy
don is dead, I shall never have any
husband in this world !"
"'And—if he is false?" stud;, her
father.
Sylvia did not answer for a mo
ment. " Then I shill never have one
-anywhere," she said at length,
slowly, and there was something in
her face that silenced the words her
father bad been about to speak.
There was a prophecy, it seemed,
in Colonel Darchester's speech. It
was not very long after this that he
fell ill,
_and, going from worse to
worse, soon both knew that in a little
while Sylvia"would be all alone—that
be would never rise from his sick bed
again. It was almost like her own
death sentence, for these two had

on.the.words, "I will wait for you,
-Ray, all my life if need be," she
closed it again hastily; she could net
bear to recall' all that might have
been hers, , and never eisuld, be now ;
she thought, with a sudden, passion
ate yearninglor death, that she wes t
barely tiienty, and ;that that life- -
time's waiting might be Svery long
one; she looked shudderingly alone
the whole blank stretch of years, with
no love - to shorten them. -
But there was a latent strength in
Sylvia's softness that forbade her to
lie down and - die. The first intolera
isle anguish over, she took up her
cross. again, and faded the weary
road, neither with defiance nor des- -
pair, but with that quiet . patience
which grows with the burden.
Withal,' it was, doubtless; well for
her-that other cares came to occupy .
her. Colonel Darcheater's pension
ceased with his death, and , he could
leave his daughter little besides the
tinvchouse . , with its strip of garden
that bad been his special care. Sylvia
could pot live on roses-and' dew; she
must bestir herself to satisfy the un
sympathetic body, •which will not
resign' one of its prOssin wants, how
ever the soul may hunger and faint.
Fortunately, in' her. case, the wants ,
were of the simplest, and provided
for without much difficulty.
So, two more years slipped by.
Sylvia was twenty-two, and S. girl
still, yet as far removed from all
girlish things as if a score had been
added to her_zsge. Not that she had
grown old, for; if the bloom of girl
hood was gone; its freshness and soft
ness remained. And; indeed,', she had
gained\ more than she bad lost, for
the lovely soul revealed itself more
clearly . through the transparent cov
ering, and replaced prettiness with
beauty. No, she had not grown old,
but. she had grown estranged; in the'
-world, but not of it, she- lived in a
wonderful land all her own; not quite
past nor future but the might-have- I
been transform ed into an unreal yet
mod real presdit.
In all this - time, no' tidings of Ray.
Dead or.alive, he bad utterly passed
outof the world that had known him.
The _ pictures he bad turned to the
wall with-such Isla :taut baste gath
ered dust , undisturbed, and the color
faded gradually out of the canvass,
just as his image faded out of the
memory of all.;--save one. That one
neither forgot the artist nor his crea
tions It was so she loired best 'to
think of him ; only successful, famous,
crowned - him with the laurels she
fondly believed right.. She could '
never pass the place where -he had
worked without a moment's pause
and a wistful glance upward, as if
she might still see his face at the
window, or his shadow thrown across
the lighted curtain. And standing
so once, as if her yearnings had had
power to bring up a ghost out of the
long burled past, she heard a voice
speaking her name—" Sylvia!"
Ray's voice Sylvia _steed - mo
tionless with dropped eyes for an
instant, not to lose the' sweet cheat;
then turned slossly. half expecting to
see nothing but empty air.' But there
wag a' form beside her—Ray's &nu ;
his face, his very self, undisguised to
her by the changes of four years. It
was sudden, as If she had only waited
for, this aliment through all --that
time ; she- neyer doubted nor ques
tioned • ' she only laid both her bands
in his, and looking up in his eyes,
spoke the oneivord—"'Key !"
But a ft er the first momenta kind
of constraint _ seemed to fall on both.
Sylvia recognized that the Ray who
I had come back was not, quite the
same Ray who had gone away. There
-
was a certain bardnellia about him, a
reserve most unlike his former self.
The old Ray would have poured out
questions and explapations in a
breath ; this one neither asked nor
offered any. He told her, indeed,
regarding his mysterious disappear
ance, that he bad been carried off .by
a vessel lyiug on the coast but noth
ing beyond not a word of his life in
all that time since then. . Nor did be
„seem curious about, the details of
Sylvia's life; he listened, but asked
no questions ; be beard of Colonel
Darchester's death' without other
comment than that of an indifferent
'acquaintance. Was it any secret re
sentment? Was it the insensible
estrangement, which' separation -too
often sets between the fondest hearts? .
Sylvia • could not understand the,
change, 6ut she felt it all the Same,
and showed its - reaction in her -own
manner. No one would have taken
them for other than the most uncle monstmtive , pair of friends, or
,dreained that these two, had , once
parted with. easing hearts. •
It was what:the old,.passionate rw
malice had subsided into-a"qUidt,,
commonplace sort of friendship that
seemingly *night have been broken
off without pain to either. - They saw
each other constantly, but never :a
word of love .was spoken between
them; sand still Ray continued
ly silent- about the past 414. future.

"I have, seen -her once or twice

via quietly, looking up in his face. •
There came a sudden light into

pause she began again with a kind of
timidity

Bay's dark cheek reddened a little.
"I am ashamed to own my weak

-Canes of contagious diseases that

and diphtheria quite as much as

ease in that room and kill its poison
there The 'following recipe is easily
carried out: Procure from a drug
store ore pound of sulphate of zinc
—the price should not exceed thirty
cents. Put into an ordinary water
pail eight tablespoonfuls of sulphate
of zinc and four of common salt s -and
to. this add four gallons of boiling
ivater. This disinfecting solution is
teihe kept in the room, and into it
should be placed and kept for one
hour every article of soiled clothing,
bedding, handkerchiefs, , etc. When
they are removed from this they
should be put into boiling water be
fore being washed In handling this
preparation, which is caustic in its
nature, care must be Le= used. Tlie
clothing, bed linen, etc., treated with
it should, therefore, not be handled
until thoroughly rinsed. Keep' the

into contact with iron. It is only
necessary to rinse in plain hot water.
The advantages claimed for this dis
infeetant, which is the same thing in
its effetittas " Bar neet's Disinfecting
I Fluid,'? are that, while it destroys
putrid odors, it has none of its own,
and that ,it acts powerfully to destroy
' poisoious germs or thrown off tissues
of disease. The dishes and spoons
used by the patient should be put,
into plain boiling' water 'belore they
are permitted to leave the room. Re
'
member that every article which le in
the room: can convey .the disease, and
' that nothing should go from It until,
the poison which it might carry is

were theoniy persons present, yet
the scripture was read. a hymn. was
sung, and a prayer was offefed. On
one occasion only one of them was
present. Still there was a meeting ;

met and blessed t he: deacon. In

gathered, a church formed, and a
chapel built and paid for. These two
- friends are now praising in heaven,
and among the things for which they
are grateful must be the grace which
enabled them to continue their pray
