UNDER flip shadow of the laburnum
trees, crowned with their golden
wealth of lilosHoms, Klennor Baby
Waited for her lover. And yet few
would have (TUegied it, for on her face
was the shadow of doubt and per
plexity, insteikl of the litfut of love;
ind her irresolute movements be
trayed a heart ill n t rami.
"1 am Ktiinp; to be a fool npsiin,"
'he murmured. "And the worst of it
is, I like tho folly."
And there were few girll who

watched him coming now, his great

between them in loiif swinging
Itrides, Stopping neither "for brake
nor for stone," and taking the low
garden wall in a well-distanced lenp,
ulii'h brought him almost to her
!t!e. stately and handsome, brave i
nd gillie, read in all the learning
f the schools, what mine could
Eleanor want? All these "availed
iiiin nothing," while his poverty sat
lil c a Mordecal In the gate. And so
ulie had determined that, sweet lis
these meetings were, this should be
Ihe last; for this woman had the na
ture of Dian in tho form of Venus,
and not for love was she going to
sacrifice the more tangible benefits
:if gold and position. Still, with his
arms nround her, and whispered
words ol ndearment trembling from
his lips In hers, it whs hard to tell
hi i so. The intoxication of his pres
ence made her for a little while obe
li, nt lo ' e dignity within her; but
when he : 'giiii to sposk of a definite
engagei :it and a certain marriage
lay, 1 waver distant, she broke nt
nice the spell which hud held her
passive in his embruee.
"The thing is impossible, Antony,"
she said, sndly, but decidedly. "Ve
might starve, but we could not live
decently on $1,500 a year. My father
lins more than double that, and he
never is able to make both ends of
the year agree comfortably. Fortune
forbids our banns."
"Oh, Nellyl Nelly! I begin to be
lieve what Frank Foster told me
that you were going to marry that
old lawyer who Las bought poor
Rnowdon's estates. Nelly, aro you
not going to deny It? Speak quick 1
it Is not possible, it is not possible!
you cannot be so wicked and so
cruel!" and he held her hands tightly,
nnd looked fiercely into the fair,
treacherous face. Little comfort
there; only a cold defiance that, like
polished sleel, flung him back the
passionate love amazement that al
most slabbed her like a wound. Once
convinced of her falseness, it was not
In his nature to sue. This beautiful
.Tildas bad sold his and her own youth
and hopes, nnd he would not again
touch the hand which had taken so
foul a price, Sho was amazed nnd
confounded, Of such love as this she
had not dreamt. All her intentions
of soothing the pnrting with kisses,
and promises of eternal friendship,
melted like snow in fire. ITe would
none of them- would not take the
proffered kiss, nor see tbe white, be
seeching face, nor touch the out
stretched hand. Ho was gone, in n
slorm of outraged and indignant love,
and Flea nor Itaby knew very well
that In that noble heart her image
was evermore a fallen nnd a dese
crated idol. How wretchedly now the
long, hot summer days went by! And
in the midst of them Antony Vaughan
disappeared from all bis old haunts.
Some sold he had gone to India, oth
ers tn Americaj but all soon forgot
him except the cold, proud woman,
in whose memory he wandered like
an uneasy ghost continually.
Then, when the short, bright days
of September rami', the rich man who
had bought Elttanor claimed his bar
gain, and took It home to the little
palace on Rnowdon Heights, A
bishop in lawn nnd silk ratified the
transaction; her parents made a great
feast; the world gave that assurance
of approval which Is powerful as the
nod of Jove; but her own heart whis
pered all the time. "Thou fool!"
And when the eclat and excitement
were all over, when life's dull, com
mon way and dreary intercourse
brightened by no Stray sunbeam of
love lay stretched in wearying dis
tanco before her, how bitterly she re
called the golden spring time under
the laburnums, when love glorified
the mear,estflower, and really "paint
ed the lily, and gave an added perfume
to the violet."
For her husband she had no love,
and with his pursuits no sympathy.
He had been attracted to her by her
great beauty, and had loTedxher at
. first with a strength of passion w hich
she might by a little tact have made
a firm and lasting a (Tec I inn; but she
had taken no pains to please him,
I made uo efforts to retain his admira-
I' tion, so that she had no right to com
plain when time and possession
robbed her of even this asm big PCS of
I devotion, and she Understood herself
' hs held "something better than his
dog, a little d rarer than his horse."
And of Antony Vaughan no word or
token came. The la nils ami home
which had been his fathers' for 500
years, were sold to strangers; and
Eleanor's heart lost its last hope
that of seeing him again. Time,
which eares for none of these things,
went on n if there wre no break
ing hearts, no ruined lives, and change
and chance made and marred the hup
p bless of millions whom he swept be
fore him to their long home. I had
only been a Spectator in this little
drama, and had simply watched it
in that. eaJm, complaisant way In
which we do watch SOI rows that in
no way affect us. Hut, strangely
enough, the last act of it was played
out in my presence, nnd I was com
pelled by circumstances nnd sym
pathy to become one of the dramatis
pcrsonae. And thus it happened.
I was U)i among the mountains of
the Colorado river in Texas, and our
party, charmed by the exquisite scen
ery and strange nnd beautiful flora,
wandered out of ihe proper trail.
Sunset found US fnr from any human
habitation, except n little log-cabin
in the crevice of the hills half a mile
below us. We Supposed it to bo the
home of some freed negro, nnd des
cended to seek temporary rest nnd
refreshment, purposing, as soon as the
moon arose, to continue onr way to
the little village, not over ten miles
distant. The door was opened to
receive us before we renched it,
and the splendid looking fellow lean
ing on his gun within its shadow
was Antony Vaughan. I knew him nt
once; every change was only nn add
ed grace; he was ten times hand
somer than when 1 saw him last,
laughing and hallooing, head and
I shoulders higher than nny squire who
rode to cover in all the glens and
glades of Bnowdon, He gave us
broiled venison, strong eolTce and hot
hoe-cakes, and a welcome which added
no little zest to his hospitable provi
sion. After supper, when a couple of
pipes had soothed and quieted our
noisy mirth, I intentionally called
hiss by his name. He droppud his
pipe In amazement, and looked the
question he could not ask. Then I
told him who I wns, nnd spoke of the
dear old town among the Westmore
land mountains. When bearded
men weep, they ned the ministry of
angels; no human symputhy can
reach such sorrow, and so I wus silent
until he had conquered his emotion.
He asked of every nne's welfare lye
fore he mentioned Flennor, anil then
his voice was odd and indifferent;
but his eyes contradicted his tongue,
and his tOQgUS belied his heart. I
told him of all her cold, empty, neg
lected life, her faded beauty and her
listless, unhappy ways. And after a
moment's silence, during which he lit
erally trembled with feeling, he mat
tered: "Only just! A life for a life!
Only just! And yet, poor thing!"
And then he rose hastily, und calling
I his dogs of which nt least a tlozen
j were lying around he left the hut,
ostensibly to look after our horses.
During the next year we spent
much time together, anil I soon felt
j for him an affection "passing the love
I of woman." He was Indeed the idol
of a large section of country, and the
leader in all hunting ami Indian ex
prditions; for to these Ishmaelitcs of
.lie frontier his very name had be
come a terror. Far us the eye could
reach the hind was all his own; im
mense herds of cattle nnd cavullards
of horses roamed over tho hills; and
the rich bottom lands yielded him fab
ulous harvests of corn and cotton.
"How did you make all this wealth,
Vaughan V" I asked him, one day.
"1 didn't make a dime of it. Jack.
Fortune brings in some boats that are
not steered, und she found mine drift
ing about and took charge of it, that's
nil."
Then there was a pause. We were
both thinking of Eleanor's mistake.
j He was the first to speak.
i "I am Lt-oiiiLt- to-morrow to hunt un
the trail of some thieving Comanches
who have run off 20 of my best mares:
like enough I may never come baeit
again. If I am missing more than twu
days, hunt me up, old fellow, nnd
bury me like a Christian."
He spoke half in jest and half in
earnest; but an unaccountable pre
sentiment of evil seized me, and I
urged him to let me go with him.
This he positively declined, saying
that "I was not up to Indian yet. and
would only increase the danger."
So early next mo ning he went over
the bills, accompa led by a couple of
line hounds, nnd carrying his rifle,
leaving me in the cabin alone. I was
singularly nervous and restless; and
when, toward sunset, I saw a stranger
(limbing the road to our door, I was
quite sure he wns bringing bad news.
What worse? Poor Vaughan had been
rnrprised and surrounded by Indians;
und though he had fought his way to
the next house, he had arrived there
in a dying condition. I found him
lying on n mattress under some mul
berry trees which shaded the house,
bleeding from a dozen wounds. A ne
gro woman and two or three rough
but tender-hearted men were doing
what they could to prolong his quick
ly ebbing life, but no hope nor rescue
coned now avail. The seal of death
was on every feature.
"Don't fret. Jack," ho saM, almost
cheerfully. "There is really nothing,
cither in life or death, that's worth a
tear."
I did not need to speak to him of
his affairs; they had been arranged
and explained to me long ago, for ho
well aware In what constant
ger he lived, indeed, all cure for or
interest in his present life seemed to
have vanished. He tulketl in a rapid,
feverish manner of the past; of his
home and hla dead mother; of his
friends und the pursuits of his youth;
but he never once named Flennor, und
1 could not bring myself to intro
duce the subject at this hour. As the
last tints of sunset faded in "ashen
skies" he died, ejaculating, almost
with his lust breath, nnd with a voice
of glad surprise, the word "Mother!"
I hud known his mother well: a lovely
little lady, who hail idolized her son,
and been so tenderly beloved by hint
that many had not hesitated to at
tribute his eile and the sale of I he
old Vaughan Manor Boosj to grief for
her death.
I assisted the negro woman to per
form the hist offices for him, and nt
arise a little gathering of rough
men, whom he had led in many a wild
und dangerous exploit, helped to lay
Him in hts grave.
He had left all that he possessed
gold, cattle nnd lands to Flennor,
wife of Richard C rosby, of Rnowdon
Heights. Westmoreland! nnd as soon
us possible i returned to England to
inform her of the bequest.
I found her In a little breakfast
parlor of the tine honse for which
sho had sold herself. Her beauty was
mueh faded, her dress slovenly and
ungraceful. I introduced myself to
her, ami named a mutual friend nt
whose house we hud often met. She
condescended to remember, and then
looked at me for further information.
"I have just returned from Texas,"
1 continued, and then I paused to see
if her heart would connect the coun
try with her lover.
"Indeed I" she answered, quite calm
ly. "A very unpleasant country, is It
not?"
"I hope you do not think so, for I
am come to tell you that a friend has
left you an immense estate there."
Into the white, passionate face a
great tide of feeling rushed; her eyes
brightened with their old beauty.
She stood up, and with parted lips
waited for me to speak again. 1 re
mained silent, however, for a moment,
and in that moment her heart nwoke,
and whispered to her by what loss
her gain was made. Then she sat
down, and covering her face with her
hands, cried out: "Oh, my love! my
love! After all these weary years
" 1 tried to comfort her by tell
ing of all his noble life how he had
Uecored the sorrowful and fought for
the weak, and defended helpless wom
en nnd children with his own life.
"And what matters It?" she cried,
in a wild passion of grief; "he has left
me, who loved him so dearly
fer all these years, without
, to Sllf-
u word
of comfort or of hone."
"Hut he has proved that he has
never forgotten you."
"Yes. Never forgot my most miser
able folly and childish pride. See
what he has done! (jive me gold, and
denied inc even n look or a word of
love or forgiveness! Ills remem
brance of me is the most profound
cruelty. I will not touch a farthing
of his wealth. I have bought it with
years of misery nnd tears of blood.
No, no! I have gold enough, and to
spare; and what has it done fnr me?
Look nt that helpless, paralysed old
man silting in the sunshine; he never
says a kind word to me, nnd yet for
him nnd his gold I surrendered the
noble heart and glorious beauty of
Antony Vaughan. And you tell me he
is dead! What then remains for me?
Fndless weeping. Leave me now; I
will not speak another word to any
one' It wsa impossible to take this for
answer, so the next day I called
gain, but she was very ill and could
see no one. The following day I re
ceived tho same answer, and her phy
sicinn, to whom I spoke, thought it
might be some time before she would
be able to nttend to nny business. So
I took a run "over the border" to Ed
inburgh, nnd remained there several
days. On my return I went Immedi
ately to Bnowdon Heights, nnd I met
her funeral coming down the (Trent
avenue. Poor Fleanor! the title deeds
of her estate had proved to be her
death warrant. People's Home Jouk

An amusing instance of unconscious
soliloquy during a tete-a-tete with a
ludy is told of the famous physician,
Dr. Pre ind. It was in the old convivial
days, and the doctor was summoned
one evening from a rather too festivo
board to the bedside of a lady patient.
He felt her pulse "secundem artem,"
but for the life of him could not count
Its bents. "Drunk, by Jove!" ha
soliloquized, and pulled himself Uk
gether sufficiently to order soma
harmless mixture. His delight may
bo imagined when the next morning,
stead of an Indignant dismssssi from
further attendance, he received from
his patient, a confession that he had
diagnosed her complaint quite cor
rectly. London (ilobe.

In a recent letter to the Missouri

View of Life.
following words: "Invital ions which
a brisk young fellow should get. and
which Would transport him with joy,
are delayed and Impeded and ob
structed until they are 50 years' over
liue when they reach him. It has hap
pened again in this ease. When I was
a boy in Missouri I was always on ;
the lookout for invitations, but they
always miscarried anu went wander
ing through the aisles of time, und
now they are arriving when 1 am old
and (heumatie, and can't travel, und
must lose in;- chance, I have lost a
world of delight through this mutter
ot delaying invitations. Fifty years
go I would have gone eagerly across
the world to help celebrate anything
that might turn. It would have made
no difference to me what it was so
that I was there and allowed a chance
to make a noise. The whole science
9f things is turned wrong end to.
Life should begin with age and its
privileges and accumulations, and end
with youth and its capacity to splen
dldly enjoy such advantages. As
things are now, when in youth a dol
lar would bring you a hundred pleas-!
ufes, you can't get it; when you are
old you get it, and there's nothing
worth buying with it then. It's an
epitome of life. The first half of it
consists of the capacity to enjoy
without the chance, the last half con
sists of the chance without the est
paclty."
Juvenile courts und the system of
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful in eastern cities,
especially In Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction ot
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing, says n report from
tbnt city. The fundamental idea of the
system is that for a first offense a
young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation, during the term of which
he is to be under the care of suitable
persons. In Chicago at least 2S proba
tion officers are needed. The city ap
pointed only five, each of whom has
charge of about 300 boys, and the
whole 1,500 are lurded together in a
reformatory school which does not re
form but corrupts. It is a. pity that
American cities nre so slow to learn
that anything which prevents nn in
crease in the number of,. criminals is
a saving in dollars and cents, to say
nothing of the moral gain.

The farmer has found petroleum his

the famous San Jose scale, audit is the
sovereign remedy for a line of bac

the invisible parasites are combated

Kerosene emulsion goes far to com

A queer will case has just been de
cided by the courts in Minnesota. The
witnesses stepped through a doorway
into the adjoining room and affixed
their signatures at a table about ten
feet from the testator, just out of his
sight, but while he was seated on the
side of his bed and could see them by
stepping forward two or three feet.
The attestation and subscription of
the will under these circumstances are
sustained.
She had never heard of draw poker,
and was enthusiastically learning the
game, beans being used for stakes, re

innocently. "Oh, no," responded the

many things, and incidentally the
game. "We sometimes use peas, and

we always use succotash."
