' TOR SUCH TIILKE IS NO J)Ei.TH."
No death ? what a mockery ! and the
cold eirth lying three feet betweeu them.
So near, and yet so far away. The tears
that would not enuc choked him almost
to suffocation, the damp sweat stocd on
his brow as cold as ice.
lie turned away, and went back to the
deptt where he had alighted an hour be
foic, so full of joyful anticipation. The
night express was leaving for XfcW York
., " , , it i i i
00 board. He had DO home HOW
aud it mattered little whither he Went.
j The whirl and ejeitemeut of the great
city wouid help him put his grief cut of
j well there as anywhere, he said gloomily.
He folt reckless.. lie had hoped so
much, looked forward so long to this
hour, and been so teiribly disappoiated.
Do not mistake Eaile Colfax. He is my
hero, ytt not a faultless one. Dy no
means'. He was like most men. He had
done'. some ihinjs he was ashamed of, ho
had not always stood like a rock against
templatioo. lie had yielded more than once.
Ha would have sunk to despair, but
the remembrance of his mother always
kept hioi from being vile. Beside, there
va; too much native nobility in his char
acter tc make low sins a temptation to
him.
Jle kuew just how grieved her blue
eves ouu i00ti atl(i ,ow her sweet lips
' , , . . , , , ,
svould quiver, u she knew he strayed
' ' '
from right. .The memory kept him.
The world has many and subtle temp
tations. The army more. We wonder,
sometimes, that so many have escaped
with only a scorching. Surely, the
merciful eye cf God has been upon them,
and his restraiuiug hand has kept them
back. '
Karlc was twenty-six, lithe and strong,

the fight nrfmtia ha? seen him flinch.
lie had enlisted not for bounty, or fame,
or the hope of promotion, but because he
felt that his country needed him ; becaue
his mauhood scorned to remain at home
in glorious safety, while other men per
illed their lives in defence cf his liberties.
In the loatliesome Southern prison he
had been like a liht in the gloom ;
cheerful, uusellish, always ready to di
divide his nieaure allowance wilh a hung-
rier comrade ; willing to Eing the dear j
songs of home to the heartsick, and to
stand by the dying aud listen to the last
messages for the beloved oats so far
away.
Earle reached New
Yoik the nest
evening. The first acquaintance he met
was Captain Clarke, his Ecnior officer. .
The captain stood on the steps of a fash
ionable ta'oon.
"Ah ha, lieutenant! how do you flour
ish ?" he said heartily, graspiu the baud
of Colfax. "You look n!um, my man.
Come in, and have something cxhilerattng.
Colfax glanced in at the door. It look
ed very inviting wiihiu. The brilliant
pas-light, the crimson cushioned sofas,
the click of the heavy cut glass ou the
marble tables. He heard the g.-v laugh
of a comrade ; aud at the sam; time the
young man called out to him :
"Hallo, Colfax ! Come ia, old fellow,
and let's have a game of euchre. It's
too infernal cold to stand star gazing in
the streets to niuht. Come iu, aud we'll
have a glass iu memory of old times, my
boy when we drank slop water, and lived
ou maggots."
"Yes, come in, do," urged the captain,
"Johnson, Stewart, aud lots ol the boys,
ara here; aud, after re get tliawc:! cut,
I'd take you rouud to see Bell Souic-rs,
the hands, mt-st girl in New York, though
she doesn't live in Fifth Aveuue. Come
now."
Colfax took a step forward, but some
thing strangely, inexplicable held him
bacK. Some subtle prescience of asitoet
ucss that was near at hand, and which
that one second step forward might lose
lo hi m forever, kept him from yielding.
"Excuse uie," he said. ! am iu no
mood lo night."
".Mood ! pshaw;" laughed the eaptaiu.
'Why, Earlo Colfax, ils ihe rt time
I ever heard you plead guilty to moods
You must be a liiilo wrong here," tap
ping his forehead. "A glass of gherry
will make you all right."
lie linked his arm iu that of Colfax
and was drawing him along, whea suu
denly tlie sharp cry of fire smote the air.
Colfax tore himself free, and hurried
down tlie street. The clatter of engines
ijuided him. A grpat crowd had assem
bled, and the night air was heavy with
smoke.
"What is burning!" he asked a by
slander. ".Mrs. Anderson's mansion. Thefiucsf
iu the street. They had a great ball there
lu-uight. Beckon this is a new figure iu
their aances."
"Have all the inmates come out ?"
"Yes, sir," said Mrs. Auderson herself,
shivering iu her ball dress ; "we escaped
in a body."
Simultaneously a cry of horror leaped
from the crowd. The face of a woman
appeared at the upper window. A pale, '
calm face, framed in heavy bands of bronze
gold hair, aud lit up a pair oi' yreat soft
brown eyes.
"Miss Van Kirk, Miss Van Kirk!"
cried a score of voices. "0 God, she is
lost .
Earle Cofax dashed through the hands
outstretched to keep him back, and van
ished in the flames.
"Teu thousand dollars to the man who
saves her !" cried Ned Richmond, a young
dandy milliouare, who rumor said was be
trothed to the beautiful heiress. "I'd
give it freely."
"Why not go yourself, and save your
money '(" sneered a fit email.
"I might lose my life, my good fellow,"
returned the other, "and it's so dreadful
hoi "
The mad flames seethed and whirled
around the set face of Earle Colfax as he J
penatrated the interior of the burning ;

Captain Clarke. He had been saved to
perform a sacred duty.
lie foo-ht bio way up to that upper
Voom where Miss Van Kiike stilt tfood
tat the window. Perhaps she kuew he was
coxing, lor she turned to meet him. The
' aoit-Urown eyes locked trusticgly into his,
she asked the question ia a whisper
"You will save me V
"With God'e help, if you ill trust me
She put her hands into his. After that !
.11 the power3 of the world could not have
made him falter or shiiaV. He tore off
his coat, and wrapped it round her, took
her in his arms, aud began to retrace LI :
steps
way.
A bioad gulf of fire hedged Lis ;
But ou the other side the flour of 1
the hall stood, aud there was nothing lor j
;i hut to hazard tlie leap. A less Ue lcr-:
liiitied mau could uot have made it, butt
Colfax did ; the terrible heat scorching :
cut his very breath, and burning to a crisp
the browa hair that had becu his mother's
pride.
He reached the open air, and hill foi
vrard on his face, and llr. Bichnioud look
the half-fainting girl he had saved from
lio rrelplcfio anna.-
"My carriage is here," said young Rich
mond, supporting her tenderly

She raised herself, aud drew coldly
away from him.
"Where is the man that rescued me
she askeiL
''Here," sail a dozen voices. "We
will take eaic of him. Guess he'll live.
He's only a common soliier."
"Only a common soldier !" she said
with
a sarcastic tone. "6Vy the man ;
that saved mc from death 1 What do I
rare for his rank ? Bring mc a carriage
iustantly, sir," addressing Richmond.
I
shall take him home with ma." j
"My dear Helen," pleaded Richmond, j
"don't be co absurd Only think ' a vu!- i
gar soldier fellow, and people wil! talk so. '
She grew red with indignation.
'Silence ! No one has a right to ques
tion n:y motives. But for him I should
have been burnt to cinders ! Thank God,
all the men are not cowards !"
It was useless tc Ettcmpt to resist her,
so they put the scLt!ess form of Earle
Colfax into the carriage wilh Miss Vac
Kiike, and she took him to the splendid
mansion of her mother where she queened
it so royally,
'Thp physician's opiuiou struck upon
her like a death-knoll. Mr, Colfax might
live, with good care ; but he considered
the cise exceedingly doubtful. He had
iuhtled the flames, and the doetor could,
as yet, promise notliiug.
Helen Van Kiike put away her en
gagements with her faihiumill'j friends,
and devoted herself to the care of the man
to whom she owed so much. Shu grew
pile wilh her long unceasirTg vigils, but
she never faltered, aud in the ravings of
his delirium she learned to know Earle
Colfax better than he knew himsuii'. He
had revealed to her all his weary heart
yearning, all his temptations, and all his
inboru nobility.
The ceaseless attention, they said saved
l l-c
"nn to i.io.
Miss Van Kirke's was the first face
i tn,lt his conscious gaze met. She put her
' aud oyer his, and answered the question
his eyes asked.
"l'ou have been
ill.
You saved me
And you arc at

niy home
From that time he convalesced rapidly.
Bat the housekeeper took Helen's place
as nurse, and Earle only saw her bright
presence once every morning, when she
came to bring him Sowers fjovrers which
lie received with apparent indifference,
but which he held in his bosom and to
his lips through all the hours that followed.
Insensibly ho grew to feeling better
again. Why he could scarcely have told.
As .soon as he grew able to be dressed, he
decided to go away. lie had received
the offer of an appointment ia a govern
ment office in New Oilcans, and some
how he wanted to go away a !ong dis
tancc. He felt as if he would like oceans
to roll between him and New York.
IIin preparations had been made secret
ly. A carriage was at the door to take
him away. He had written a brief note
0f thanks to Miss Van Kirke, and left it
;u the Jibrarv.
TTe would not sen her ncain. She had
gone to a luntinet, and would not proba
bly return before noon.
Ha descended the stairs, and met her
at their foot
Something in big face must have told
Iter his intention. She jut her haod on
his arm, and drew him into the parlor
"Where are you going?"
"To New Orleans," hia voico was cold,
almost harsh.
She grew pale, her hand shook in Lis.
He bent towards her, and looked into
her eyes. Her forehead sunk on his
shoulder, the cry was wrung from her,
"0 Karlc ! Earle ! Why must you !"
Iu a moment he had forgotien every-
thing but how he loved her. All his
fiue scruples- about the disparity of rank
!nd wealth faded into insignificance ; he
had Lcr iu his aims, and was raining
kisses on her lips.
I love you ! I Uva you, U. Uclon '
he cried. "Aud for that love I am going
away .
" Y"ou will stay,' she said softly : ' Earle,
you will stay now, because I love you,"
'But you have deserted me lately, and
there is Ned Bicbniond,"
' I am a woman, wilh all a woiujb'i
pride. And I feared I might betray
mv secret. Aud, 0 Earle ! 1 feared too, 1
that you did not care for me. Ned Rich

"But, lU-en, I am poor and 1'iieudless.
I have committed many siuf zt which t
you wouk" blush. Can you lake me.

"Yes, I will take you. I do not think
I shall regtii it."
And to day, looking into Helen Col -
