Perhaps because he was called Paul Clarkson, which, we must own, is a very romaitic name, or perhaps because he had five sisters and no others; from one of these causes, or from quite a different cause what matters it, sincth,e fact is the same? Mr. Paul Clarkson wa R iihoutdoubt an .-esthetic llirt. How mudi of a flirt he was, perhaps he himself hardly realized; it ail came so natu ral to him. He was a handsome fel low, young Paul. He had a tall, well made -ure, a pale but very exoret-sive fate, and a good deal of warm, brown hair. No woman with such eyes could have kept from flirt ing; so let us not bre too iiard on this man, esjecially im for sonie time he did no one any harm. He wrote poems, which his fair friends greatly admired. Ye gods, what sad oems they were! In them Mr. Clarkson flirted w ith death just as he flirted with women. He sat at her feet, and called her pretty names. If his stern mistress had turned around sliaply, and made him take her fir hetlat or worse, I hardly im agine he would fcave been a very wyling bridegroom; but m the grim lady just then seemed to waiil cofie of iiim as lunzs, liver and heart were all they should be this verse flirting with death was all very nice. Mr. Paul was apparently very much distressed at having to live. He wanted no good dinners, not he; be wanted no books, of cour.-e not; he wanted no club; he wanted no pret ty woman to flirt with. What in the world did he want, then? He wanted to be absorbed in the spirit of things, he desired to groy part of the infinite; he yearned to mingle with the heaven's blue, or to be a roseleaf, or a cloud, or a sunbeam, or a weed; in short, anything but what he was. A very sad man was Paul Clarkson. Being so sad, was it not natural that he should turn f r sympathy to the softer sex? One friend could not have satisfied his great nature; his comforters were many. Lt us see w ho thev were. To begin with, there was Mue Blandon, very strong on the ques tion of woman's rights i clever, handsome, if somewhat masculine looking woman, of whom men most ly stood in awe. Clarkson found out a tender place iu her heart and walked into it. I think she thought for a long time that he was going to ask her to be his wife. Then there was the beautiful Miss Sanford, with the pale face, and the large, lovely, sad looking eyes; was she not beauty itself, and, as such, should the not be worshipjed? Then there was Mrs. Clifford, quite young, and very nice to look at too; and she wrote poems almost as sad as Mr. Clark eon's own. Her marriage had been a great mistake. he was thrown wholly away on the commonplace Clifford; so she resigned herself to jthe writing of melancholly verse. O bards, bards, what would you be without your griefs' Even as chil dren are who have no playthings. Mr. Clarkson's grief was that he had once been engaged to a girl of whom he was getting rather tired, when in the mo;t unexpected man ner she got tired of him, and threw him over, and endowed him with a wrong. Mr. Clarkson felt very badly or said he did. It is quite impossi ble to say what he did not get out of that grief of his. Ot course its prime use was a seasoning to his poems. Then it was a great help to those nice flirtations I have spoken of. A man with blighted affections may go much further iu flirting than a man who is heart-whole. The dear creiture comes naturally for conso lation. Did Clarkson make the best of I is opportunity? I think he did. He wrote I don't know how many poems to his faithless lady; these poems he recited to other fair ladies; he plunged into all sorts of dissipa tions, not because be was naturally addicted to such things, but he was so extremely unhappy. He was a very desperate man, and cynical; why, he believed ir. nothing, al ways excepting friendship, between men and women. I have mentioned tbree of his friends; let me not forget Miss Kin lake, who playetj o beautifully, and besides composed such wonderful music The amount of friendship with wuien, and the ".mount of good wines Mr. Garkson's grief re quired to console it, were most sur prising; but we all know how bad is an affair of the heart. It chanced one night that Mr. Clarkson met at a reception Miss Hilda Ford. She was not a girl. She was about thir ty; she was very pretty, and not at ail aiethetic. She had a good intel lect, though, and loved poetry genu inely. Her voice was unusually low and sweet; it had a strange, thrill- intr muif? in iL She lived with-her . llllll'irr III lltr I I ( J Mil 1 .

He thrust it awav1 with a tear what ! do I say? without even a farewell i eonnet. Heart and soul he went for hi new love. 0 bards, bards, are you not an ungrateful lot? Paul Clarkson, then, Jnved Hilda Ford; ', and what is very much to the point is, that the kind of feeling he enter tained for her she entertained for hira. So, why not say at once that he proposed, and was accepted? "Hilda," he cried, looking into her eyes passionately, tell mehow much you love me," She pressed his hands and said: "I love yon with my whole heart. Your love is the crown and glory of m. life; it is my supreme rapture and my supreme rest" And then, because her face flush ed so. she leaned it on his shoulder, while he kissed her thick golden hair. All this was very nice and just as it should be, but troubles came. As it napened, most unlor tunately, Miss Ford had a jealou temperament, and she got to find out about Raul's flirtations, to which she very much objected. Of course, nothing would have been easier than f r Paul to have given up such flirtations, to which I think Miss Ford was quite right in excepting. Only that was just what he did not do. E isy, I said; no, far more dif ficult than we dream of. To be in love, and to play at being in love, art; tif'O very different things; and, in their ou way, they are both pleasant enough, Maying at beiDg in low is a very facinating game, and. like ittOt games, it takes at h ast two players. This game Miss Ford liked not, a fact which he could not tell to these co-players. "When our engagement is made public," he said to himself, "I will knock all these aQairs on the head." So he very wrbngly wishing at she game time to have and eat his pie told his beloved that he would forswear the close friendships that so much troubled her; and all the while he privately indulged in them. She found him out once. He rush ed down to her house in the country; where, as can be easily imaged, a scene took place. It was the beau tiful Miss Sanford that Hilda spe cially objected to. He promised faithfully he would see her no more; but he old habit was so strong that, as soon a be returned to London, be went back to his Matonio wor ship of her. He kept, however, his proceedings very dark indeed, I can tell you; but, as we all know, mur der "will out. As ill or good luck would have it, an intimate friend of Miss Sanford went to visit some friends who were neighbors of the Fords. To the pleasure of all par titas concerned, it turned out that Mr. C'lark.on waa a mutual friend. Then came the question from our friend's friend: "Was Mr. Clarkson going to marry Miss Sanford?" Every one knew what a flirt he was; still his attentions in that quarter were extremely marked. "Perhaps so," said Hilda quietly. She wrote a fw words to Paul that night, asking him to come down and ete hit. Jam was nice when we were young, bat was it nice to be detected in the act of bringinar it; when we thought every one was far away, to hear a door handle turn sharply, and be faced by a father, mother, or an old servant suret tt-il? Jt was feelings similar totho?e that Paul epirierit.fcd when he read Hilda's letter. It contained only a few words, asking him to come down, but he had instantly a sense of something beinjf wrong he sus pected the truth that his sin had found him out. The Fords lived in a remote country villiage. It was a hot June evening when he found hircself walking up the long garden that surrounded their house. Mrs. Ford greeted him very warmly. "I'll go and send Hilda to you," she said in her kind, cheerful voice. She lft the room and a few min utes after Miss Ford came in- He beard her dress whispering as she! walked. i 'Good evening," she said. "It was kind of you to come when I asked you." She'sat in a low chair, her hands clasped loosely in each other. "But I shall not," she resumed, have to tax you again in this way." "Have I done anything to dis please you," he answered, turning very pale. "Tell me at once, and let me have it over." "What I have to sav is," she re joined, "that everything between us mut be over, now and forever, it is hard for you, it is harder for me ; vou meant mv all of life." Some one has been telling lieslferent I say, as he walked along. about me," be burst out j "It is you who have not been tell- j ing the truth," she said, with perfect I quietude. !

"Don't be too angry with ine, said she, laving her hands ia h "kiss me." He did kiss her long and very pir-si'jnately: then he left the mom. left the village, ami reached liOtidon by a late train, bringing a real grief iu his sham griefs stead. Resolved on doing something desperate, he cast himself at the feet of the beau tiful Miss Sanford; to his surprise she did not appreciate her happi ness, "I never believed all the fine things you said," she remarked. "I knew you to be a llirt; but you amused me, and for that I am grate ful." He went away considerably hum bled. The real grief, unlike the sham one, was totally useless. It inspired no poem; it stimulated to no pleasant fiirtaiions; it lay at Mr. Clarkson's heart, a great, heavy, un removable weight. Like a wound ed animal, he shunned his fellows. He thought grimly to himself, as he roamed about the Loidon streets, uo.v grown to him so dreary, that at last he knew what the real thing was. In tho course of a month Of so there came to him a desire insoiue way to do something that might at last enlighten the gloom that wrapt him round. "I've spoilt my own life," he mus ed, "still it might turn to some good account for others; I have money, and great sympathy with the peo ple, and they need both. To pend my life helping them i what Hilda would approve of if she knew it, ami that is what I will do." The very next day he carried out his good resolution; for he was per fectly in earnest. Still the man was so in the habit of posing that he could not help at first surveying him self with a little melancholy satis faction as the people's helper, given to them by a great sorrow. When he f;ot really in his work, however, he ctaoed this sort of exhibition upon the stage of life with himself as spectator. Things seemed to him too serious to incline him to strike an attitude before them. For the first time he forgot himself, in view of other people's calamities. Truly his labors were not light; and he felt no disposition to toy with bis work as once he had toyed with love. Daily he risked his life, soihs timek froi'a interfering to protect some woman from the druoken vi olence of her master, sometimes through long night watches besidw a wretch ill of some frightful contag ious disorder. He held not his own life dear unto him, and perhaps it was lor thai reason mai ne came alive out of every peril. Often, be fore the world was wel awake, he would return home from a night passed beside the dying, only to snatch a little sleep and go forth again to his self-imposed tasks. He saw sights and heard sounds before which a less determined spirit would have quailed, but his strong purpose upheld him. Among his many friends at the East End was law-! ily of the fiame of U bite. Mrs. White was a widow. She let cheap lodgings. Her eldest child Sara add ed to her small income by playing humble parts at E.ist Eu'd theatres. She was a good girl, this Sara, with hushing b u-j eyes, a pretty thajied, sensitive face and a large quantity of fair hair. Mr. White would exclaim: ' It's not, sir, because some folks never look where they are going and drag their skirts through every pud- die they can, that others can't walk . in clean places." Clarkson became very fond of Sara uot at all in a sentimental way; he had quite done with that. He" regarded her more as a father might regard a pet child. She be lieved him, too; and that was nice. Often, on fine summer days, would he come and take her off to Rich mond or Kew, or somewhere where she couhigather wild flowers, in the season of them. To see her pleas ure always pleased him. Mrs. White herself was not at all an ill meauing woman. She was shockingly untidy, however, in her appearance, and she had a temper of her own. One gray October Sunday afternoon Mr. Clarkson found him self, after a two month's absence on his summer holiday, again near Mrs. White's house. It was a de pressing day and its most depressed hour between 3 and 4 o'clock. As he walked down the clirjzy streets, with the dirty houses on either side of him houses, that had a look of grim content about them, as if they had now grown proud of their dirt, and would not, if they could, be dif- smoking a very good cigar, Le heard the melancholy cry of "water-cresses' fine water-cresses'." In front of him, with a short clay i pipe in hi? mouth, a man was ling a reluctant donkey drawing a a . . 1 . 1 very cracked caurch belL Mrs. ' White's voice could be heard within, j "Go down stairs. do.

Z. not wholly unjustified-a sound of ft hnstilv retreatin? to lower re-1 gions; then the door opened and dis-1 closed Mrs. White. It cannot be said that her face was clean. Her -dress was in holes; it was fastened at her throat by a tawdry brooch. : Once, however, she must have been ' quite a pretty woman, j "A sir, is it you? I tu glad t !see vou back. Surth worrie n IV I had these people in the first floor . not paying their rent. 1 II tell you what that man is, sir. He's a nasty, low, pood for nothing, rum-drinking fellow. And as for beer, he was at home one day, and it was nothing but send, that young Bob to the King's bead, round the corner, for ph.ti of half a id-half, till the child got that tipsy with the sips he took going, and I assure you that I put him to bed in a really disgrace ful condition. As for his wife, she's no better than be is. She's the kind of a woman that I wouldn't trust for five minutes with sixpense of my money no, nor a penny, eithei!" "I see, my dear Mrs. White, that you are a good deal troubled," re marked Clarkson, when the sound of grief had somewhat subsided ; "but now let us leave ehe culprits, and tell mt how is Sarah ?" ''That's just the worst part of it, 8'.r. Sa-ah's down with something dreadful bad ; the doctor says it's consumption, but 1 don't Ix-liuve in what doctors say." "Tell me all about it at once," said Clarkson, who was most genu inely pained. "Weil, sir," began Mrs. White "well you had'nt been gone above a week when it seemed to me that she was getting a bit lazy and off her food; but 1 didn't think much of that, girls are often that way. Per haps she may have eaten less than I noticed. Lord, when you're as worried as I am, you can't be count ing how many mouthful, of food a child takes to-day, and how many to-morrow ; there's no fear of my boys not doinsr their share. We got some very cold weather at the end of July, and one night, when she was playing at the Crown Theatre, it came down one of those naaty. cold rains. She was much later than usual coming home that night; per haps I wasn't in toe best of temp era, for young Bob had been more troublesome even than he is gener ally. It was just one o'clock when she walked in, the rain streaming from her. "'I couldn't get a buss,'" she says ; " 'that's what makes me so late. It's so cold and wet, mother, I thought vou might have had a bit of fire.'" ' -'Fires in July'"' "'we can af fortl that, can't we ? Perhaps you expected a cold bowl and a bottle of port wine : Eat vour bread and cneese anu urinK your neer, do, 1 say, and get to lied ; that's the best place for you. She took a little bread and beer, but I saw she couldn't stomach the cheese; then she began shivering and crying. an,d, saying she was so cold. ell, I got her to bed, but she coughed through ;!it iiiLt. In the morning she feit very hot. and didn't -em to know what she was saying, so I sent for a doctor not that 1 in ruor-t cases, hold with doctors. He said that she had taken a bad, feverish cold, and that it had gone to her lungs. How- i i i i ever, she seemed to ge aver the worst of it; only htt uon't get her strength, up, and sometimes she has bad tits ol coughing.

It looked like a hard, uncom- fortable bed on which the sick girl lay.

He took it from her hand, admiring it and thanking her. "I filled it with cigars. Bob got them. They cost three pence each ; is that too little to pay ? They were the best I could get here." "Little! Why, it s ever so much too much, my dear child. Why, you can eet a cigar for a penny." "Yes, but not such as you like to smoke." He laughed, antl said she ounht not to spoil him. Then she made him try one, say ing it would Ie like old times ; ad ding very piteously : "If you don't smoke you will nev er like to come and see me again." "Smoke, or not smoke," he an swered gay'y, "I am coming even day till I nally see you better ; and to-morrow, as I don't think much of your present doctor, I shall send down a man in whom I have confi dence. Now, I must be off; I shall come round early to-morrow" ; and kindly pressing her hand, he was gone. The next day Sarah received all the cotnforta th.-.t an invalid could desire and early appeared upon the scene the noted and kindly Doctor Foreman. "Well," asked Clarkson, as the physician came down from the sick room, "what do you say?" "Say, my dear sir! alas, I have nothing to say that you would like to hear. All we can do is to make the end as gentle as possible, and I don'i think it can be tar off." "Thank you'" said Clarkson, "for coming so far." and there were tears in his eyes. He went to break the sad news to Mrs. White, who, poor woman, quite broke down, though, through her tears and sobs, she again and again protested her utter disbelief in all doctors. While she was trying to calm her self, Clarkson went to sit with Sa rah. "What did the doctor say alout me?'' "He said you were ill." "Did he say I was going to die soon? I want the truth, piease; let me have it," There was something swelling iu Clarkson's throat. He strove to speak, but vainly. "Please tell rue," she entreated ; "I want to know at once which way it is."

He ur.dersto.xl. lie kissed her, and laid her head upon his should er, and called her many a dear and tender name. "Oood-bye, Sarah." he said, as thev heard Mrs. White making ner slow way up. "Good-bye," she answered, almost passionately. "You will never know how I love you ; it is much better for me to go, mtif-ii better." Then once more, and for the l.i.-t time, tbt-ir lips met.

Poor child, young as she was, she had known one of lifo's greatest ex periences that of loving when? there was r.o hope of love being re turned. When Clarkson the next morning saw the blinds down m Sarah's room he was not surprised. He had 1 1 . i a firouunt with him, on th chance that she might still be able to enjoy them, some beautiful flowers. The door of the house stood open, so he walked straight in and up to Sarah's room. As he entered he saw that some one, who was kneeling ty the bed, rose hastily ; then he saw that it was Hilda Ford. They shook hands silently; he went over to tbe lied, and placed the flowers on tiie girl's bosom. Then, leaning tlown, be kissed, very fer vently, the cold lips that this time tlid not thrill under his; he looked long and lovingly on the face, which wore a look ot unearthly rst; then he rose and turned to the door.
