HOW COULD I ?
BY ANNIE BIGELEW,
He carried my satchel to school,
And me through the drifts carred, too ;
Conld I think why he hogged me bo close?
If I couldn’t, how conld I ? conld yon ?
At eve be tied nnder my chin
My hood with it* bright ribbons bine ;
Why he gazed in my face could I tell?
Ii I couldn’t, how could I ? could you ?
He told me my eyes were so black,
The brightest of any be knew ;
I blushed and looked do vu; conld I help it?
If I couldn’t, how could I ? could yon ?
He left on my cheek a warm kiss,
Then off with the lightning’s speed flew,
If I could I’d have scolded and stamped ; I
I* I couldn't, how conld I ? could you ?
’Twag long years ago. and since then
He has spoken words loving and true ;
I only leaned close to his breast,
for how conld I help it? could yon ?
THE BLUE FLOWERS.
rhere’s a blue flower in my garden
The beo Iov?b more than all—
The be© and I, we love it both,
Though it it frail and small.”
‘Oh, jolly, jolly 1'
That was Aggie French's way of ex
pressing satisfaction, and her companion
iooked up, expectant of news.
‘My letter is from Georgiana Ash,’ she
explained. ‘Yon most have heard of her
—t.he handsomest, blond you ever saw ;
eyes half blue, half amber; and hair
neither brown, nor yellow, nor red, but
just exactly gold. The fun. is, Thorne
os d to be in love with her before he knew
littlo Alice Dcvor, nud they ray she jilted
him—it was before he came to his fortune
for a richer suitor. Any way, she isn't,
married, and it will be curious to see how
Thorne will take her presence here in this
house, where there are so few of us tbat
we can’t help being intimate. Of course
he can’t run away and leave Alice, and we
shall see what we shall see when my Lady
Magnific nt comes. For my part. I never
did believe first love a disease quite so
easy to get over as mumps and measles.
I'm told Thorne bad it hard. I like stories
in real life a great deal better than out of
books —they’re twice as spicy. I promise
rare fun in watching the romance.'
Qniei Mary Everett sighed, a little sadly,
bu. did Lui answer. She loved Alice
Dev )d, though their friendship bad been
of wv.-ks only, and the prospect of the
Cu'nice ‘fun' was far from exhiieraiing.
Ju-i A'.ii c came in so radiantly
hup; y. Her browti hair tossed about her
primrose cheeks, her soft, innocent brown
eyes r-parkbug with pleasure, and a few
rare wild flowers in her hand. Thorne
was behind her, looking on as she exhibi
ted her treasures with a emile and an eye
glauce which revealed more than he was
aware of love and pride.
‘See, - cried the »<di, clear tones, 'you've

Sh** was a pretty picture, in her delicate

of wild r-. eer and meadow grass Bwloging

hand.
She and Thorne "happy enough,
both of them, to have 'moved any tender
heart to let them dream on But Aggie
French's heart was not tender Not that
she was very cruel —only thoughtless, tond
of 10 Q, and a linle careless what wounds
her self indulgence might inflict. Sb*
looked wickedly into 'i home’s eyes, and
said :
*1 nad a letter from an old friend of
yours this morning—Miss Georgianna Ash.
She is coming here to day or to morrow.
She doeß not know she will meet you.
What a pleasant surprise it will be 1’
It was fortunate that Devon was
busy just then with Mary Everett, who
was asking her some question about her
morning r&nble. She Was spared from
reading the signs whic h revealed so much
to Aggie French—the sadden quiver ot
Thorne's moustached lip. the bronzed face
a few shades paler, the amife that tried to
be careless and Jailed. Little Alice orl y
beard the cool answer :
‘Ah, I haven’t seen bar for five years.
>be used to be a stylish, handsome girl.
I wonder if she’s faded ’
She thougnt to herself that, for old
friends, her lover seemed to take very
slight interests in the prospective new
comer. .
Wheu they came in together again trom
their afternoon walk, Thome and Alice,
some trunks were in the hall, with G. A.
painted in black letters upon their covers.
‘The new guest, I suspect,' Alice said,
lightly. Thorne was too self conscious to
reply. He bit'his lip and was silent.
When Aggie French heard him going by
her door, after he had left Alice, she put
her head out with a malicious whisper—
‘She’s come — with me a couple of
hours. Now sne’s in her own room,
dressing for tea.
It was just at sunset when all the party
before mentioned, and a half dozen more
were gathered in the low, old fashioned
parlor ready to go in to Bupper. Mary
Everett, who had never before met Miaß
ABh, looked at her critically as she stood
beside Alice Devon; the two having jast
been introduced by Thorne, who- whatever
he might have been betrayed when taken
by sarpriße, was perfectly self*possessed
now.
There was no disputing that the new
comer was the handsomest woman at
‘The Shoals.' It was a grand, regal style
which swayed a power of its own. The
tall, full, figure; the matchless complex
ion, with its color clear and bright as down;
the great, magnetic eyes: toe tawny gold
hair, filling the silken net not full; the
mouth so ripe and tempting—all these,
with the self understanding, the aplome
of twenty-five years. In that stately pre
sence little Alice Devon, with her seven
teen years and her primrose face, looked
uniformed and childish. But there was
something about her most sweet and ten
der and touching, which made Mary Ev
erett think of a rosebad with the morning
dew still on; and glunciug back lo the
o>lher she hummed,, half, under her breath,
a snatch of an old nursery song:
"The fcunflower with her brilliant crown
Looked lovely and tempting to the bee;
Yet ootone dr .p ot honey he found
In her wonaer cap of gold and brown—
She was false at heart, though fair to see.”
Aggie French had not arrived at the
who le truth about the separation between
y ion Ash and Howard Thorne. She had
not jilted him. They had given each oth
er up mutually. U was the fortieth lov
er 1 * quarrel, perhaps; tor Miss Ash was
of tempestuous temperament, and Thorne
not over patient. It was the ope too many,
and flye years had passed without their
seeing each other. In the meantime some
of Thorne's relations had died and left
him a fortune, making him better worth
winning. Miss Aggie was mistaken, too,
in thinking that her friend came to ‘The
Shoals’ without knowing that her old lov
er was there. No allusion to the knowl
edge had escaped her in the letter; but
’be certainty of meetiog him had been her
solo motive. To do her justice, she did
not know of his engagement. She learn
ed that for the first time in her two hours
i with Miss French before tea. It dismayed
her, not a little. It was ar. obstacle she
bad not foreseen, and she did nor. feel en
tire faith now in the Buccess which had
seemed so certain before.
When they were introduced she looked i
at Alice anxiously She was not blind to
the youth and freshness against which she
must contend. She acknowledged herself
that the girlish face, with tbe bunch of
blae fiowers (the treasure-trove) in the
soft hair, had a sweet charm of its own.
She almost quite.
For some dayssfce held, herself rather
aloof from Howard Thorne and his little
betrothed. When anything brought her
in contact with them, she was playful
sometimes, sometimes a little reserved
and sad, though kind always, There was
so much variety in her moods that Thome
grew interested before he knew it in
watching them, He began to realize,
now he observed her more closely, how
royally beautiful she was. She had been
far less so in the old days when be had
thought the whole universe bounded by
her smile. Her manner bad changed too
She had been imperious then —she was bo
still at tknes ; but oftener there was a tan ■
der, half-pathetic softness in words and
ways which made him think she had grown
sadder with the sad years Had her life
missed him? There was a subtle flattery
in the thought against which his vanity
was not proof.
He was not untrue towards his little
love in all these at least not
unconsciously, but they'werejdangerutjs.
Very dangerous when, ODe day, he suf
fered himself, sitting idly and alone on
the piazza, to wonder what would have
been the result of his meeting again with
Mhs A«h if he had never seen Alice.
Jast then she came up tbe walk in her
lovliest mood. Tenderness in a person to
whom Nature has given the seal of sov
ereignty move ua far more than in those
gentler persons to whom it seems indigen
one. She looked sad. this Lady Magnifi
cent, as Aggie French had dubbed her.
She waR simply drpssed. in a robe of
fleecy white, with a few flowers stuck for
sole ornament in belt and bosom. Her
eye? were downca-jt. There was a stain
as Lt tear* on her cheek. Some impulse
he should have resisted drew Thorne to
her side Are there moments in all lives
when our good angel forsakeß ns? Half
unconsciously he said to her;
“Miss Ash —(icorgmia. we were friends
oi,ce —I do cot like to see yon sad.’ !
The great amber eyes turned od him ja
lo ok of mute reproach. After a mo
ment aho said, with a trifle of the old petu
lance :
‘ldo not iike to Jiaje my,, moods no
ticed. Ills nl>t generous of yon, with all
you want in life, to look out from the
safe shelter of your happiness and watqh
how I bear lonliness and heartache.’
‘All I want m life I’
He repeated the words after her dream
ily, as if be were questioning himself
whether indeed be had what be most want
ed in life. The past seemed to be throb
bing m his heart —tingle in his poises.
Were the days dead in which he had been
thi 3 woman's luver? They had turned,
mechanically as it were, and were passing
down the shaded path which sbe had walk
ed up alone. For a while neither spoke.
What subtle magnetism was in her pres
ence that made it tbrftl him so just to
walk by her side. He stole a look at her
at length. She was pale to the lips, and
slow tears were stealing from undqr
drooping lids. A sudden mad impulse
swayed him—a wild longing to read her
heart. He pat out his hand and touched
hers. He spoke with a tone that would be
obeyed:
•Wbatis it? I will know. Is it any
thought of the past, or of me, whidh
moves you ?‘
She turned her eyes, fall of reproach,
upon him. ’
‘What right have yon, Alice Devonls
lover, to the past or me? Be content witii
your own joy. It should be piquant
enough withoot the zest- ot enhancing it by
contrast with my misery.’
The mention of Alice Devon struck a
pang, sword-keen, to his heart. He wps
not a bad man ; nay, he was perhaps bet
ter than most men. He respected his
plighted word— he loved Alice. Still
had not strength enough to eepape from
the baleful spell which was closing around
him. |
‘Your misery 1’ he cried. ‘Do you,
whom all the world envies, know what
misery means? Tell me. I will know;’
Again that long, reproachial look from
oat those amber eyes.
‘Howard, for shame 1 You must not,
you bhall not torture me, now when all
ties between ns are over. Do you think *1
would have parted with you in auger thdt
last time if I had not thought your love
was strong enough to bring yon back’?
We were both wrong—we ought to havie
forgiven each other. But why talk of it?
You are better off; and I—perhaps I am
not too severely punished for the share ot
blame that was mine.’
Thoughts swam through his brain de-
lirously. See, bis youth’s love, loved
nim—was suffering for him —had loved
him all the while. He looked at her,
more beautiful than ever in hfer sorrow,
h n v tenderness. After all, was not the old
love the true love?
‘lf I were free—’ he began.
‘Of what use would be freedom T she
interrupted him passionately. ‘You were
free five years.’
‘But I did not see you. Qh, Georgia,
this is cruel. You should have come be
fore, or not at all.’
Just then steps crushed the sand
them. Around a sudden turn in the wind
ing path came Mary Everett, with
his Alice clinging to her arm.
‘•We heard a few words—we could not
help it,' Miss Everett B&id, with eyes of
Btem rebuke, leading her Mend by.
Howard Thorne cursed his fete as he
saw his little love’s pale fees, with the
heart-break settling over it, almost like
the Bhadow of death. He knew now
where his heart was—saw what brief mad
ness had passed him. He would have
given half the universe to be able to go to
Alice’s side and tell her the truth. But
he dared not approach her. For the first
time in his life he felt like a coward. He
Btood and watched her, silently, as she
moved away —bis darling, whom he had
been mad enough to lose. Then he turn
ed with a loos in his eyes that made
Georgians Ash tremble.
‘I am free now; and, as you said, of
what use is freedom ?’
Neither spoke again until his cool good*
by, when he had gone up the path with
her to the house-door.
Then he rushed back Into the t fofrfr
shrubbery, among the rocks, across to the
sea. He was almost wild enough k> bqry

He knew his fete was seal*

wcmid accept no divided heart. 1 Explain
as he wouia, he knew she would never be*
lieve him or understand him. She never
canid know how it came,; and if. hepffered
explanation she would believe .only
honor, only sorrow for her, held'Kim;
and those mad moments conld never be
atoned for.
Jast then be turned. He was standing
in the very oook where they had gathered
the blue flowers. Some others, their Bis
ters, were nodding in the cleft. He gath
ered a bnnch, and laid them carefruly in
a pocket book, which he carried in his
breast.
‘They shall go with me into other
scenes,’ he said, his sad eyes kindling
sagain with the gleam of a new resolve.
‘J have held backrfrom giving my life to
my country because Alice s love made the
offering too costly. Now I wdl go. It
wiil for her if I die. 1
-P*rfOintd a note on his table when he
Went home,, and in it these words only:
‘Be merciful enough not to write to me
or ask to see me. It woold be of no use.
What I heard, whatleaw, can neter be
explained out of memory. I forgive,yon.
I do not think you meant to be false.
When you told me you loved me T believe
you thought so. I shall go away to night
and leave you to the love yon have found
again.’
He obeyed her—made no useless at
tempts at explanation ; and watched from
his window to see her go sway with a
calmness more terrible and despairing
than any passion of agony.
Later in the evening came another note
from Miss Ash this time. Itwasworded,
oh ! so ekillfnlly; begging his pardon;
telling him how innocentshe was of;wrong
design; blameless of everything but the
love and sorrow she could not help, and
the letting him speak to her at all.
Howard Thorne smiled grimly as he
twisted her soft words and lighted his
cigar with them. All her blandishments
were powerless row. No device of hers
could move him, steeled to Vindictiveness
by the look of white pain he had seen on
Alice Devon’s face. He made no response
The next morning he too went away.
Somhfiiow even Aggie French's Heart
was touched by his hopeless, dreary smile
as he bade her good by. Certainly the
Lady Magnificenrs visit had not beenpro
ductive of the expected ‘fun.’ Miss Ever
ett had gone-sway the night before with
Alice ; and ‘The Bhoals’ bade fair to be
presently deserted,
All that was last year—the sum tier of
‘62. It was September when Howard
Thorne found! himself a soldier, wifhothe
commission, urged upon him half against
his will of Ist ’Lieuteuant. He waft with
the Army of the Potomac, and befofe the
Sommer came again be had seen hard
fighting, and held a Colonel’s rank
tue of hia cool courage. Courage, did I
say? Recklessness, perhaps, would have
iold the truth more nearly.' He wanted
to die, aod so took every possible opportu
nity to throw away the. life of _wbich>he
*as weary. For that perhgpß,
shot and shell passed him by. Ever in
the front, and no ball hit him. • They be
gan to say that he bore a charmed life,
when they saw him with no scar on his
bronzed handsome face.
At last came Gettysburg, aod thebul
let which sought hie heart. It wbs turned
aside a little by a book he wore—the /book
which held the blue treas ore*teove—eo
that, ghastly and terrible as wae hie
wound, it was not instantly mortal. There
was email hope for him, however; and one
who loved him as a brother asked, when
there was leisure after the fight, if there
was any oue for whom he would wißh to
send. All hie pale face brightened glo
riously. Thiewaathe hour for which he
had longed and wailed. He dictated only
these words:
‘Come to me before I die. You will be
lieve what I have to eay when you know
that they are my last words.’
This, with the address of Alice Devon
on the cover.
Then he waited.
Five days was the least possible time in
which, allowing for no delays, Bhe could
get the letter and come to him. He
thought his strong will would keep him
alive so long.
On the evening of the fifth day he lay
with his face towards the wall. Wrapped
in thought, and tormented with searching
pain, he heard no footfall! heard nothing
until a low,’ remembered voice saidr
‘I am here.'
Then he turned his face and-saw Alice
Devon at his pillow.
He waited for no greeting, no inqnmas,'
bat spoke the uppermost thoaght met —"
‘Alice, I did love you—only you. That
scene which yon could not understand was
a momentary madness. Bhe tonched me
with her misery—'hints of the 101% hope
less love, she had cherished for me all
those years. I was m oved on the surface
only. 1 tell yon as a dying man, that, my
heart never wavered. It was yours then,
as it is now—as it will be when I go back
whence I came, to darkness and mystery.’
‘I believe you,’ said: (he low sweet
tones. ‘I began to believe it when I
heard of her marriage, six months after.
I knew she had been disappointed,' and I
had been wrong and hasty.’
’No, not wrong; you :hjtd,,rpwn
enough. lou should not blame yourself.
I never blamed you. But are you free'?
Is my Alice at my side?’ '
‘Your Alice ; yours, and none others.’
‘Then I shall die content.’
Through all the hours of the night she
sat beside him, holding his hand in hers,
charming away his pain by her voice and
her touch. When the dawn crept softly
up the slope, and kindled the eastern sky
to flame, he was sleeping a calm, restful
sleep, for the first dme in all those days
since he was wounded ; and the eurgeon
coming in, and standing watchfully be
side him for a while, said, as he turned
away :
‘I dare not give you much hope ; but I
, begin to think it just possible that ne may
live.’ .
'A little later he awoke, and still Alice’s
hand was in his. He turned to look at
her dear face, and saw a new tight in the
tender brown eyes. She bent flgffl- him
and kissed him, in tne morning twilight
through which the son had not yet bro
ken, and with her kiss she whispered :
‘The snrgeon has been here, and- be
says it is possible you may live. Wilt you
try for me ?’
‘Aye that 1 will,’ answered his deep
tones, fervently. ‘Life that T was so
ready to throw away, is dear enough now.
It mast be that T shall get well, now 1
have Alice to live for. Pray for it my
darling! God will hear such lips as
your*’
Last week an invalid came back. His
face was thin and pale, but hie eyes were
bright, and on that worn face was a look
of hard-won peace. By easy stages he
journeyed—he and the one friend with
him—to the sea-coast, and took his oid
room at “The Shoals” once more. He
found there old friends, and new ones,
all ready to give CoL Thorne glad wel

him back from death, He was allhtera
now, and between them could nevey *#ajn
come any shadow.
