was much younger than the other,

her an air of refinement and culture!
which her companion sadly lacked.
She appeared absorbed in watching
the ever restless sea ; but as the

'How beautiful !" sir? said ;
'and yet how Iji ely and desolate.
Does "anv one live there, Mrs.

' Ves," was the answer. "Mrs.
Grander lives there, but she's crazy.
Nobodv vi-its her, and i-Ik; visiLsno

man. --One would imagine thatliv
ing in such a spot at this, with no
sound save that of the breaking of
waves to disturb the silence, the
mind might grow calm."
The house was built of gray stone,
and showed the marks of many wild
storms which had beaten upon it.
Over the greater portion of it crept
the heavy trailing ivy, in which
wild birds had built their nests.
The grand stone steps before the
door were covered with vines.
Several of the shutters, torn fnm
their hinges, lay where they had
fallen, and over them, too, was
creeping the heavy ivy, which
threatened toencontpass everything.
The chimneys were broken, cornice
and column were warped and split,
and the massive wood work about
doors and windows wa3 old and
worm eaten. The grounds about it
were an intricate tangle of brush
wood. Flowering shrubs, which
had been planted here and there,
had grown from lack of attention;
and pruning, into wild and unshape-
iv trees. Koscbushe?, blooming
j luxuriously in red, white and yellow,
1 grew in every direction ; and wild j
: vines and unsightly weeds choked
Sup the paths. The gates and j
truces were broken and dilapidated, j
and about the whole place there was
other thnn Mrs. uranger. Mie was
a woman of middle age. tall and

deep grey eyes, and dark hair thick
ly sprinkled with gray. Her fea
tures were regular, and she must at
one time have been very beautiful,
but now her face was like marble in
its perfect repose. There was no
warmth in her cheek or lip, but
there were lines about the mouth
that told of past tempests.
'What are vou doins here
exclaimed, in" a quick, excited way
'it is my grave ; you bave no ngiitj
to intrude upon k.
'i came upon it by the merest ac
'cident," apologized' Mrs. Arden.
j"I intended' no intrusion, but I am
j net sorry I came, for it is so beauti
! fnl." And then with a sudden im
pulse she could i.ut resist, she
caught Mrs. Granger's hand in both
of lier's saying, with sobbing breath:
(), how I pity you ! How I would
help you if I only knew how ; If I
only could. You have suffered so P
Mrs. Granrir drew her hand away,
and turned tier head aside, as she
said, in a c.dJ voice, made bitter by
suffering :
"I want no help.no sympathy.
Words like yours are false and hol
low. What can you ferl for oru; who
is a stranger to you. Go. I would
rather be alone.:'
She was looking down toward the
no blossoms of hope or faith hail
ever sprung up in her own heart.
Winter and summer she had staid
shut up in the desolate old house,
listening to the moaning of the sea,
morbidly nursing - .her rebellion
against the hand that had stricken
her. and brooding over the fact that
her loved ones could return to her
no more. She emerged from her
retirement only to look at the little
grave beneath "the cedar tree, pur
ine in summer witli jtne beautnul
nansies, white in ' winter with
drapery of snow. '
Hut now light had entered in on
the darkness which had enshrouded
her. A new hope had blossomed in
her desolate heart. Softer feelings
had biKtn possession of her, and
she longed with a lodging that was
u! most p:iin, to see again th tentie
woman and tne loveiv cluid who
