self into a more rational frame of mind
he went on his way, with only a linger
ing look at the cabin "Which seemed 'to
retreat into the fastnesses of the rock.
Yet, in spite:of commonsense, the wild
beautiful eyes of the mountain girl put
'sued him, the message that lay a mys
tery in their depths bewitched him, and
finally, as the sun shot forth long shafts' .
of flame and , lanoes of gold, setting
fierily behind a c i liates of blackeningl

heel, and retsacedliis steps in the direc
tion of the enchanted bevel.
Mucha, the owner of the beautiful
face had, withdrawn, it hastily into - tle
interior of the cabin, scared let the lint
wonted sight of a stranger, as lowland
dwellers might be scared by a ghost.
The cabin was so poor that, only for the
red hearth and the warm smell of smoke,
it might have been mistaken for a shed
fot cattle. The earthern floor was un
even and full of holes; the roof, of
heather and sticks, was blackened with
smoke; the hearthatone was broken.
Onocrasy table, one chair, and two or
three tithe/ nondescript seats; a kettle,
a pot, a battered tin can, and a few
mugs and plates—these were the chief
contents of the dwelling's 'principal
room. ;Looking around, one might well
ask by 'what means life could • be sup

with la peculiar cry had summoned the
the family from their work at the bog to
dinner, - stood in the middle of the floor,
with a slant light falling. on her from the
sky, across the mountain-peaks, through
the smoke-stained doorway. Her skirt
of crimson wool, spun trifle grambune
in - the corner, and dyed with madder by
Mocha herself, was short enough to
show her white; feet, shining on .the
earthern floor. „Over it ale ,won 4 1 14 1 .41

in a sort of cowl behind her neck. No
white lilly or golden rose was over so
beautiful as the face of Macho, crowned
with its honey-coloced hair, set, - with
'es dark and blue,' with , -a look half
sweet, half troubled; a rose-rod 'month,
tinted to match flowers the girl had
never see* and creamy, satin-smooth,
dimpled cheeks. The way in which her
bead was set on her shoulders, the pose
Of her figure, and the movements of her
white bare arms recalled the goddesses
in••marble of the early (reeks. With
her almost `superhuman beauty, where
had Mucha come from—to battle with
the elements for life, to growaun-tan;
ned, weather-beaten, lean and withered
in the struggle to force the potato out
of the rook and peat out of the reeking
bog? What was she doing in this dreary
upper world of the barren Irish hills;;
bow could she be the grand-daughtet of
of the unlovely crone in the corner; and
why had generations of. ignorance and
hunger and rade toil produced her? It
must be that Nature had created her for
a whim; making her a sort of image and
expression of the - wild beauty of this
pict p uresque wilderness.; - f
The after-glow of the sunset was
abroad when Macha went out again, to
roam round the, lake in a fashion of her
own. A strange amber-and-red reflec
tion illuminated one side of the sky and
the mountain-peaks, intensified by
gloomy fringes trailing along the hori
min. Delicate green tints overspread
the, other; and in this fairer skyey field
bad blossomed, the round white moon,
brightening momentarily.; and shining
among the early stars like a lilly among
daisies. Earth and heaven were pictur
ed in the lake—the gemmed ; meadows
and luridly illuminated deserts on high,
the blackening hills, and the moving
iilitipes of orange, trows - laild Vivi° that
caught and rent the fringes of the slow
ly approaching night. -
Macha clasped her- hands over her
head, and gazed round her hdlf fearful
ly, enjoying and understanding the
beauty of it all. She bad heard of a
shining city beyond the gold .and silver
gates of the sun and the moon; also of
_earthly cities, wonderful too, but not so
beautiful, that lay down below the
mountains in the busy World of-men.
She meant to go to the one, but she did
not care to visit the others. 'Her moun
tain home, with , its :inhabitants, con
tained the desiies of her heart. The
old brown crnbifix on the i cabin-wall
was her passport to the final happy des
tination of all patient smile, whither she
and all she loved would depart when the
Master should send them a message to
come. ;Nothing natural or supernatural
dismayed or disgusted her. If there
were spirits in the rocks and fairies in
the lOke, the Almighty knew what they
were doing there, and everything. was
all for the best.
"Macho, come in," called her mother
!rota the cabin. "Something will get
you."
"Ay l ,:ziother, I am coming," said
Macha; but - still she lingered, looking
hard at a piece of iock that seemed to be
taking the shape •of 'something.' The
clouds are alive, and move, and change
—why should not the rocks? Suddenly
a living person seemed to emerge out of
the rock, and come beside her; and;
startled, she would have fallen into the
lake had not a' strong arm seized her
and swung her into safety.
"Holy Mother! I nearly drowned
you 1" cried Media, looking at the same
traveller who, had passed the cabin in
the morning. •
"I nearly drowned you" said the
stranger, gazing in wonder at her beau
ty, which seemed to have become almost
unearthly, as the still warm glow from
oue side irradiated her hair, and the
greenith moonlight from the other
whitened her round cheek anti the
drapery of her shoulder.
"I thought you were—him whp lives
down in the lake," whispered Mocha.
"Who is her E •
She looked all round in the air, and
her lovely face caught a thousand reflec
tions of flitting colors nad lights.. Then
she signed with her hand. toward the
dark lake. • •
"The water is deep," she said, and
here is many a- thing down there. But
you are a living' man, for I
i f aw you in
the morning."
The person addressed felt a strange
thrill as she spoke and put out her round
gleaming , arm and touched his hand
with her
that
fingers, as if to assure
herself that her own words were 4rue,
and that he was indeed a living man
"And you are a living woman," he
said. "I almost thought you 'were a
spirit moving along theedge of the lake.
Why do you keep so close to the led g e?,
thought I saw you walking on. the
water."
"I like to look in and see what I can
see," said the girl mysteriously.
"Do you always walk here in the
evenings?" '
"Yes, and sometimes a bit at dawn.
Mother says something wicked will meet
me. But I have only met you, and you
are not !hiked."
"I am not as good as I ought to be,"
said the man tremulously, answering
the look of simple faith and approval in
the girl's wonderful eyes. "But I hope
I am not . altogether wicked;" and th e y
strangeness of his own humility escap
ed his notice.
"I do not much believe in wickedness
myself," said Macho, "except of course,
in the great dhiaoul" (devil), crossing .
herself. "But he will never hurt me ,
unles I do something wrong."
I "What do you see when . you , walk
hero in the dawn?" • .
"I seethe blessed spirits trooping up

'Something will get I you,' said
Meta's mother for the hl udredth time;

Strange and unaccountable are the
whims of men. Here was- one with
wealth and rank, accustomed to all that
is cultivated. Witty, and beautiful
among women. and yet. having gone
fancy-free till rather a late period of
bacherlorhood, he had climbed a savage
mountain in an isolated corner of what
he oonsidered , an 'uncivilized country,
to fall in love with it wild girl with a
wild name, who lived upon potatoes in
a hovel under a rock ! And he did not
feel tubamel of himself. Contrasts and
inconsistencies had always possassed a
fai3cination for him. Did not the spot

that held its root? :And . Maeha, with
her shining bare feet and arms, and her
face like a poet's dream, was -all the
more enchanting to his imagination be. ,
cause she had sprung, with her sponta
neous loveliness, out of the mountain,
and had been nourished and perfected
between the wind and the sun, without
help from 'civilization' or a lesson from
art.'
He was going back to the. inn that he
might have farther opportunities' of see
ing this gid, and yet he told himself
that his admiration for her was merely
an abstract idea; that, after he had seen
her a few times and studied her excep
tional beauty and character he would
go on his way contented, rejoicing to
have perceived that nature can be still
so lovely and unspoiled in her own se
cret fastnesses, beyond the ken of the
World. His rest was broken that night
by a new excitement; and he wakened
in the dawn to fancy be saw Macha
walking, with her bare white feet, in
the rosy light around the margin of the
lake. He wanted to hear her voice
again. and feel the tench of her band.
It struck hire as remarkable that she
had shown no shyneis of hiin, speaking
to him as naturally as if he had been
her brother; and ho divined that this
was so because she knew nothing• of
ranks and classes. Only the superta
tural had power to awe her, and she
had, felt safe and happy, as soon as sha
had assured herself that he was a living
man. Accustomed to the attentions of
women; he would have felt less
attraction toward Mucha had she shown
any desire for his return. The absence
of all coquetry iii her I delighted him. -
The girl thought.of 'him, lying on her
straw bed in the dead of' the - night.
There was a hole hi the roof above her
her head, a holithat Would be thatched
m
over with heather for the winter, but at
present it was good tci let in the air of
heaven. Through it achy could sea :a
star shining.fin the sky, like a little-is
land of splendor in an ocean of dark
blue, and the rugged twigs of the bro
ken heather made a rough frame for
the bit of glory. Thepearity of Macha's
face lay quenched in darkness beneath,
but her soul escaped through the open
ing np to the kindred mystery of the
star; carrying with it the memory of the
event of the evening. Her mina rested
with placed wonder on the occurrence
of her meeting with the stranger. . She
had not fallen in love with him, as he
with her, nor did she dream of such a
thing. Round . about her lay her
mother, .her grandmother, her lit
-1 tle sisters, sleeping soundly, with the
love of Maolnt asleep , in their hearts.
' She loved thein Passionately, and ha&
'no thought or hope 'for herself apart
I E. -
from theta. To work with them, hand
and foot, that thei might all have
enough potatoes and turf to enable them
to live together, without more pain than
'they could endure, this was the one ob
t.
-pet of her existence. Vague splendors
and -delicious' rest and. joy were, she
knew, awaiting them all beyond the
I
gates of the ann. The only thing to be
desired was that they might not be
parted meanwhile in their purgatory on
the lonely . mountain. As the night
crept on, and the stars waxed brighter,
Macha owned to herself that the 'living
man' might have been 'him who lives
do wn in 'the lake' after all. : Ponder
ing this doubt, she fell fast asleep.
The stranger reappeared next day,
and for many days afterward haunted
the mountain. Mich% had. leave from
her mother to accompany bins in his

"What is on you, child ?"
"The sassenach is asking me to go

"Away with him ?"
"He wants to give rag a satin gown
and a ring, and td i take me to his home."
"Well, avonrugen," with a long sigh,
"if he makes yoaa truelvife andis good

"Mother," cried the gel passionate ;

only to see you hhppy and well ? sup

"I don't want to be well warmed and
fed; I .am as well-off as you and the'
giandmother and the girl shim He
would take me out to England; over
the sea—away, away to the other side
of the world 1"
, And the girl sobbed wildly on her
mother's shoulder.
'"Send him off, then, actishla mach
ree. Why need you break your heart
atm' nt what nobody is going to bid you
do ? Your mother, before you never
wore a fine gown; and we will be hun

Mocha's weeping subsided a little;
but only to break out again as fiercely
as before.
"r cannot send him away, mother .!
I love him, as well as you. Oh, why
did he ever come over the_ mountain ?
Better it had been' him that-lives down

"As many have to live, my Macho.
Maybe be would bring you back to see
us. And you might be able to_ send us
the potato-wed, or a piece of the good
flannel' to keep us warm."
Macha looked piteously in her mother's
eyes, and then round the familiar cabin;
the storm came down again upon her
heart{ and she flung up her arms and
fell:into a swoon. =Her lover, arriving
up the mountain, found her lying white
on the heather outside this door, with
her head on her mother's knees, and
was thus led into uttering promises
which, else, he might never have made.
"It's only the heart that is to strong
in her,l-"said the poor mother sorrow
fully. "It is: ill to love a stranger that
must part you from your own."
"1 swear to bring her back," said the
man eagerly. She shall Nine whenever
she pleases, and bring as many good
things as she likes. We might even
build a house in the valley below."
- ,At this the color began to retup into
Macha's cheeks; and the comfOrtitble
promises _sank deep into her mind.
Little-by little the struggle - 1 between
the new love and the old was softened
away;_the will of the stranger prevailed;
and thelnaTriage took place in a little
rude mountain chapel, where Macho
had been baptized, and where, travell
ing through hail, rain and stout", she
had knelt every Sunday since she had
been able to walk. At the church doors
the husband reiterated the promise that'
he would bring her back; very soon
she would return to the mountain. He
almoit tore his bride away, weeping and
half fainting, from the embraces of her
people, from the cling of their thin
brown hands, and the kisses of their
weather-beaten faces. And in spite of
the promises he had just repeated, he
was glad to ; think that he had probably
seen the -dast of this wild mountain
tribe.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert dressed his
wife in a lady's garb, and surrounded
her with all the appointments that were
suited to her new station. The first'
jar to his happiness was given by his
perception that, beautiful as was Macha
in her silks and laces and trinkets,
musical as was her speech, graceful as
were her movements, there was yet
something _wanting , in her to make
her a bride that could be pre
sented, without risk of criticism, to his
friends. The enchanting mountain
girl, with her picturesque beauty and
wild charming ways, was no more. The
lovely Lady Gilbert was a little too un
conventional, with her twit brogue, her
vivid and figurative language, her quick
natural gestures, her little slips in grew_
mar, and artless habitual utterance of
the truth. But Sir Humphrey was'
very patient with her, and set to work
to polish his precious gem in the rough.
A long time passed over, and the hus
band felt no desire to revisit the high
lands of Connaught,

spiration of something: - like genius,
touched and delighted,the best feeling
of his nature. He -was the more dis
posed to be satisfied with -the results of
his marriage because his wife's low or.
traction was a secret frombis associates.
It was - believed that she was the daugh
ter, of a noble bnt impoverished Irish
. family—that she had been neglected in
`her early years,' and educated. by her
,husband. A pretty romance had -been
constructed, how or by whom Sir Hum
phrey did not know : His wife's gentle
grace was the real !foundation for it:
and at all events he had not the cour
age to contradict the tale.
With all this gocid luck there was
something wanting to their happiness.
M'achit did not fall into raptures ; with
the splendor of her home, nor with the
amusements of society, nor with the
flatteries and triumphs that fell Ito her
share. She only half lived in duzury
by her husband's side; the other half
of her lived on the mountain 'among
the privations to which she was born,
Under her rich sables she shuddered at
the cold on, her mother's limbs; and by
her own glowing fireside she kept count-,

been saved from the . rainy season to
keep warmth in the aged grandmother's
withered frame. She heard the little
sisters saying, 'What is Macha doing?
Macha is so happy, she has forgotton
us!' The heart within her was getting
every day more chill, because as yet
her husband's 'promise did not seem
likely to be fulfilled. At last she had
summoned courage, and °Ake , d him the
question.
"When will you let me see my
ini4her?"
it Humphry was troubled. Et ;,cm
quite resolved never tdlet Mach a return
to her people, and he had hoped that
the desire to go ti them would have
faded away fromi' her before - now.
There was something in her face which
he could not understand, but which
made him feel that he must deal very
gently with her.
"It is out of the question at present,
love," he said; "but you shall send her
any present you please."
She shut her eager lips, teeing that
her husband would not bear to be urged.
He went hurriedly out of the room, and
Macha stood silently by the fire, with a
strange gray cloud overshadowing her
face. The third summer had gone by,
and now again the winter was passing,
and she seemed further than ever from
attaining the great desire of her heart.
A minute she stood where he had left
her,
.with closed eyes, climbing in spirit
the rough ascent to the mountain cabin.
In imagination she threw herself at her
mother's feet, begged her forgiveness,
assured hei of her lcve, pleaded her in
ability to keep her word. Then with 'a
long sigh she unclosed her eyes, un
bent her brows. and patiently went
about her occupations. She took ad
vantage of her husband's permission to
send_a present—a cloak for the grand
mother, and flannel for the mother and
the little sisters. There was , much
trouble, about addressing the parcel so
that it might reach that distant and
isolated cabin;' but the trouble was
taken, and that the parcel went- safely
home was known by tho' arrival of an
acknowledgmentnf the gift—a grotes
que scrawl in pen and ink, scarcely
legible, but expressive of love and
gratitude. Sir Humphrey read the
curious document with a curling lip,
and threw it in the fire. Allow his wife
to go back among these savages ? No;
it was not likely he could be so foolish.
One iracß4olly in a lifetime was surely
enough. They must learn to forget
Mach'', and Macke must learn to forget
them:
How was she to'be taught to do it,
though P Why was she so stupidly, so
obstinately blind the exigencies of
the case ? Fall of intelligence on every
other subject, she could not be
brought to see that between Sir Hum
phrey's wife and . the wild tribe of her
people there Could not and must not be
any further personal intercourse. How
slow she was in taking up his meaning,
when - he tried to bear it in upon her,
without putting the fact before her in
uncomfortable words ! With her beau;
tiful serious face, her outward and in
ward refinement, in her soft white
draperies and delicate laces, how could
she contemplate a visit to that abode of
poverty which he remembered only too
well ? Fancy the wild, brown little-sis
ters hugging the elegant Lady Gilbert;
the uragre, weather-beaten mother
weeping over her, the 'mummy-like

ears 1 There was a grotesqueness in

pbrey's imagination, that brought the
indignant color to his face.
Macha's obtuseness was aggraiating.,
From time to time she would say to
him - imploringly. "When will you al
low me to go ?" and when answered un
satisfactorily, would turn away with
tiat dull look of patience that was be
cothing habitual to her countenance.
She lived in a state of painful suspense,
of silent expectation, which showed she
had not taken in the idea thit he was
resolved never to , grant her, request.
The memory of his promise was still so
fresh in her thought& Her stupidity
was the blindness of perfect faith.
Every day her yearning grew deep
er, and the look of it settled in her
eyes. Iler husband resolutely appear
ed to -misunderstand her, refused to
.meet her pleading glance, - peinaded
himself that she was ill, out of temper,
anything rather
. than homeiick and
lonely bybis side. If his conscience
smote him with the remembrance of an
eager promise voluntarily made. he told
,himself that foolish vows ought never
to be kept. Tha.strangest part of it all
to him was, thatcshe did not reproach
him with haviniebroken his word. 'But
she did not think he had brokerrit--on-
ly that he was !wearily long about be
ginning to fulfill it.
A bitter season set in, and Sir Hum
phrey, looking, at his wife's - thin cheek,
and the darkening trouble about het
eyee, bethought him of taking, her to
some gay city, to a genial climate and
the novelty of strange faces and places.
He had watched her walking
,to, and fro
among his comfortable tenantry, in and
out of their warm wholesome dwellings;,
and he knew what' brought the quiver

always shines, he thought she would
forget how cold and hunger sting. So

In the mild air of Italy she did not

rigors of the Connaught winter. - Her
imagination was caughtby the beauties
- that surrounded her, and. for a little
time Sir Humphrey thought his triumph
was at hand. ,It was but an accident

her finger on the cruel lines. Sir Hum

away and. left her under sentence of,
his displeasure, one only desire and
determination possessed her—to get
away out of this cruel world of plenty,
and bring food and comfort to her fam

consequences of defying her husband;
her agony and longing blotted out even
the memory of his existence. How she
made her way to Connaught who - shall
tell ? As the lioness. finds her stolen
young, so did Macba scent the path to
her native hills. Accustomed. to rely
upon her husband for everything, to fol

most supernatural exertions to accom
plish her end. - But accomplish it -she
did. - When her husband returned that
night, half angry and hall relenting,
revolving plans fot reconciliation, tak

ought to deal with her, knowing very
well that he meant to send a largess to

were such a thorn in his side—when be

'through and over him. He first(swore

and almost forgave her. Uneasily: he
resolved to let her go and have her way.
He had given her _money yesterday,
commanding her to spend it on her own
amusement; for the present she could
not wait; and this reckless visit would
be sure to tame her. Very- soon she
would be glad to return to him on any
terms. Thus torn by distracting
thoughts, Sir Humphrey went back
alone to his English home. Pride' oh
stinancy, and the conviction that his
wife wasmrong and required - Punishment
and humiliation, prevented his follow
ing her to Ireland.
