OUT IN THE SNOW.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.
It was a fearful night in niid.winter.

the cold, for her eyes were like stars, and
her cheeks with a blood-red heat.
The wind moand weildly in the great
chimney of the Moor House, and rat
, tied a loose blind against the drawing
room window. The pressure of air pen
etrated even that closely sheltered apart
: uicnt, and struck cold and chill across
1 tho uncovered shoulders of the heiress.
She drew up her magnificent shawl of
1 some bright wools, and shruuk closer
'nt0 'ne protection of the deep arm-chair
she occupied.
"Nothing she said between her shut.
white tooth," could cross the moors to.
night, and still be living. Well , 6he
paused her red lips compressed, the
veins standing out like cords on her
forehead.
The whistle of a locomotive, shrill aud
clear, burst over tho din of the elem
ents, and iu a moment Miss Prescott
heard tho thundering rumble of the
traiu. It halted at Moor House station.

j the great Spanish houd, and then the
urawuig.room was invaded by a tall lig
urc wrapped iu furs, and gray with
snow.
"Your pardon. Miss Preseott.but the

to get myself out ot my packing. How
comfortable you look. And without tho

looking at him with her eyes of fire.
"1 wo hours ; delayed bv the storm.
Mai plot Led so is ten feet undei. The
men at the village turned out nnd shov.
elled us through. I havcu't known
such a storm fur years."
Ue settled himself in his chair with a
breath of satisfaction. Miss PresJutt
took up her ciochet, and began working
with fingers that quivered in spite of
her.
"You are industrious, Madeline. I do
not see Miss Pembroke nor my mother,
I trust they are not indisposed ?''
"Mrs. Prescott is in her room. Miss
Pembroke at tho village," returned
Madeline, coldly.
"At tho village ? She was here this
morning."
"True, She went just before it be.
gan to storm. She had a letter, au im
perative call from" she hesitated.
'From Mr. Montgomery V
"Yc3, from Mr. Montgomery. You
have guessed it : I have not told you.
His regiment was to pass through South.
gate this afternoon, on tho way to the
seat of war, and he wrote for her to
meet him there."
"She took the carriage, I suppose 1"
"No she went on foot. Papa use the
horses himself."
"She will stop at Soulhgate all night,
then r
"I think it was not her intention ;
thought Mr. Montgomery may, if he
remains, induce her to do so. She has
not been so eager and fluttered for a long
whilo as when his letter came. Wo all
tried to dissuade her from going, the
moors are so dangerous at this season ;
but she would not listen."
Roll'o Erskine's face grew set as mar
ble. Just then, Mrs Prescott came in.
It was easy to trace the relationship be.
tween mother and son. The same
proud, clear.cut features, the same pure
complexion and bronze gold hair. And
the elegant, gentle-haired Mrs. Erskine
had seeu in Phillip Prescott,, tho father
of Madeline, and tho master of Moor
Houtc, to admire, it was difficult to de
cide. She spoke to her son.
"Rolfe, I am uneasy. Miss Pembroke
loft us this forenoon for Southgate, the
housemaid tells me, intending to return
early this evening. Her way lies across
the moors, and it is full of perils iu such
a storm as this."
Rolfo re invested himself in his fur
coat.
'Bo at ease, mother," he said, cheer
fully ;
'I will go and fiud her. Come,
True,"
The hound leaped up, nnd whined in.
telligintly. Miss Prescott detained
Erskine her white jewelled hand on
his arm.
''Vr. Erskine, Rolfo, you surely will
not be so mad ! Why. btrong men have
perished on the moors in lesser storms
thai) thia. It is suicidal !
She was pale and rigid her voice
bhook ; she had forgotten the preseoco
of her step mother. Mr. Erskiue shook
her off almost rudely ; spoke again to tho
dog, and vanished iu the whirling, whitl
iug, white gloom without. Mrs. Pres
cott turned vj Jadeline.
"You have lived here longer than I,
and known the country better. Is there
any danger my eon ?"

was vacated. Mdcline had gone up to
her chamber. When sho entered its
luxurious precincts, she shut herself in
from all intrusion, She double locked
the door, and dispensing with lire and
lights set down by the window which
commanded a view of the desolate waste
of moorlaud from which the old mansion
took its name.
Bare and bleak, and white with drif
ted snow, the dreary tract stretched out
lor more than three miles. At its foot
lay tho village of Soulhgate. Jadeline's
set face was pressed closely ozainst the
glass, as if rho hoped to pierce with
those wild eyes of hers tho gray obscu.
rity of the night. The wind swooped
down, and shook ruthlessly the tall old
elms it the yard, nnd tossed the snow
iuto great hillocks of foaiey white.
iladolino did uot know that she was
cold she did not think that on the
morrow her roses would be white ones,
it she kept this midnight vigil. Sho on.
ly remember that Rolfe Erskinc was in
deadly peril ; she indulged beneath alio,
cruel hope that Annie Pembroke, her
fair young cousin, had gone out alive
from Moor House for the last time,
Through the whirling blast Rolfo
Erskine strode manfully on. There was
a fire in his heart which defied all the
cold around him lie started nervously
at every fresh hillock of snow, and the
dwarf pines thrilled him like the pre.
senee of a human being. Every dozen
paces he stopped to listen, hoping, yet
dreading, to hear the voice of Anniu
Pembroke calling for assistance.
It was a direful tramp. He sunk
waist deep at every step, and the wind
filled his hair, and encrusted his face
with keen, cutting particles of frozen
sleet, almost blinding him. In spite of
the time and placo ho found himself,
almost inconseiously, reviewing his brief
acquaintance with Miss Pembroke.
A little more than a year befcrj his
mother, of whom ho was tho only child,
had married Mr. Prescott, Ja'ioiine's
fither. Six months after the marriage.
Rolfe had come to ScutLgate to practise
his profession. The. physician located
there for man years "had died, and
Rolfo btipped "into tlio opening thus
madn. Jueh of the time his nights
hai been spent at .Voor House. That
was his home, though he kept his rooms
in the village. At moot House he had
first met Annie Pembroke. Sho was a
poor cousin of Madeline's. Her parents
were-dead, aud Mt. Prescott had taken
her homo. Sho performed the part of
seamstress nnd waiting-maid to her
haughty couain.
Madeline was beautiful, queenly, her
admirers said : but she was uot always
gentle, and Annie's lot was a hard one
Lrskme had read something of her trial
in the sweet, sad face, with eyes of deep
est brown, and hair the same shade.
She had avoided him always. Ho would
have been very kind to her, but sho gave
him no opportunity. He was piqued a
little, and npoke of it to Miss Prescott.
She laughed. Annie was engaged, she
said, toRo Montgomery, a young lieu
tenant in the army, and had no thought
for any other mun. And seeing her
daily, the sweet couutcuances of Annie
Pembroke grew ' into Rolfe Erskine's
deepest heart, until there was no nook
nor corner unfilled by the sacred pre
sence. Now, she had gone to meet her
lover. Erskine said the words over
slowly, bitterly, now there were none to
hear him. Still, that fact did not lessen
his obligation to save her, if possible. I
The violence of the storm had iu a
measure abated, but the wind still blew
with undiminished fury. A Btray star
peeped out above the whirling masses of
dark clouds speeding eastward ; it was
nearly time for the moon to rise. Sud.
denly True started forward, his noise in
the air, and gave utterance to a short
sharp bark.
"True, old boy, what is it ?''
The dog repeated the sound, nnd dar
ted away. His master followed as fast
as he was able, breathless, aud panting
with his eager haste. Ho struck his
foot against something. Truo whined.
Half hurried in tho snow, the brute was
digging vigorously with his foro paws,
only pausing to utter that piteous whine,
so expressive to the eai of Rolfe Ers.
kino.
The man stooped down, and his haud
touched tho soft garments of a woman.
A moment more, and behold Annie
Pembroke in his arms. Her faco fell
against his, it was cold as death, and the
rigid hands he took iu hi were like ice.
He tore off his fur coat, aud wrapped it
around her, holding her so very closely
to his bosom feeling in every fibre how
he had loved her how, dead or living,
; ho loved her still.
The clouds broke in the eastward, and
the moon looked forth. The ghastly
light fell athwart Annio's face making
it frightful in it pallor, but it showed
Erskine his exact locality. Not more
than a dozen yards off was the hut ol
some basket makers, who had cut osiers
. thero the previous winter. It was long
J since deserted, but still it was a (dicker.
He harried toward it, preee-le-I Vr Tare,

burning. Then ho applied himself to
the task of rostorin his apparently life,
iess companion, and soon had the satis
faction of seeing her eyes uuelose. Like
ono waking from a deep sleep, she gazed
wonderiugly around her, until her eyes
tell on the face of Erskine. She color
ed to her temples, and lifted her head
from the shoulders, where it had been
lying. He remembered Mr. Montgo-

"Mr. Erskine, how tamo I here 1"
"i'ou were missing, and I come in
pursuit of you."
"Atd found me where?"
"Out cn tho moors."
"Then you saved my life ? I suppose
I ought to thank you."
"It is no consequence," he replied,
coldly. "I did no more than my
duty."
"I remember now," she said speaking
slowly. "I got very tired and sleepy,
and sat down for a moment in the snow
to rest. I thought I mustbenear Moor
Heuse, I had come so far, and felt so
weary. At the village they said I was
rash to attempt to cross the moois in
such a storm, but I was 10 disappointed
at nst seeing Roy, I was hardly."
"Roy T
"Yes. Mr. Montgomery. It was so
liardnot to be allowed to say farewell!
The regiment passed through Southgate
yesterday. Some one was cruel cuougU
to deceive me."
"I am sony. Your lover will doubt
less regret it, also."
'My lover ? Sir, I do not understand
you."
She looked up to him, her brown
eyes full of wonder.
"Forgive me. The allusiou was in
delicate." But I imagined from your
regard for Mr. Montgonieay "
"My regard is no stronger than that a
sister bhoiild feel for her dear and only
brother. I would have willingly walk
ed one hundred miles for the privilege of
kissing my brother farewell."
"Your Irother 1 Miss Pembroke 1
Anuie ! tell me, at once, is Roy Moot,
gomery not your lover ?"
"He is my half brother. We had the
same mother He was the child of her
first marriage my ouly near living rela
tive." Rolfo Erskine was holding both hand
now, and his face was close to hers. His
heart beat so fiercely it almost stopped
his breath.
"And they told me you was engaged
to this Montgomery ; Madeline Prescott
lied to me ! God forgave her, I will
not. O, Annie, I have lived an ago of
agony siuee I thought I had lost you.
Do you care ?"
"For what?" she asked softly.
"That I have suffered j that I love
you, Annio ? Say the words that shall
make me happy!"
"Toach them to me "
"Tut your arms around my neck, An
nie, and say 'Rolfe, 1 love you entire,
ly.' "
She taid it over under her breath,
but the whispered tones reached his ear,
and for him cold, and storm, and mid.
night were alike forgotten.
True laid down at their feet : tho
wind howled, the fire burned fitfully :
nnd in content they saw the slow night
resolve itself into the new day. They
went homo in the morning. Madeline
would have said some severe things to
Annie, but Erskine speech checked
her.
"Mother," he said quietly, "this is my
promised wife. I have brought you a
daughter."
Mrs. Prescott kissed her pale fore
head Madeline flew to her chamber, and
was seen no more for tho day, The
struggle she passed through was known
only to God and her own soul. Ilcr plot
to induce Annie Pembroke out iuto the
storm, which her long acquaintance with
tho moorland regions assured her was at
hand, had proved of no avail ; she had
forged the letter with Roy Montgomery's
signature for nothing. And she had
lost Rolfe Erskine forever.
Annie went to a home of her own be
fore spring opened. Madeline is still
singlo still haughty still beautful ;
but there is co rest in her heart. Will
there ever be ?

STORY OF A HAT.
There was a startling development, at
Mount Holyoke Seminary, not lon
since. One of the young ladies had just
returned from a visit to the outsid
world, nnd i-ooh after a vigilent teaehor
looked into her room and discovered n
gentleman's hat there. Another teacher
also satisGed herself of tho existence of
the alarming object, and the pupil forth
with summoned to the hall of judgment.
It was a most delicate subject of inquiry,
and the point of attack was only reached
by gradual and sigzag approaches. The
pupil who manifested her depravity by
lialfconcealod merriment, and showed
no disposition penitently to unbosom
herself, was at last brought up with a
plump question as to the hat in the room.
There was a moment of painfully anx
ious suspense, followed by a sudden col
lapse, when the offender confessed that
she had brought in one of her father's
j old hats to cut up for rolls for her hair.
Ibhe was pronounced excused, and there
was great fun in the halls, as the story
circulated. Springfield Republican.
A Female Monster. In-deedl
"A man, named Hadlock, has met his
fate, iu Hawcsville, Kentucky, lately,
under the following circumstances:
Thero is a woman in town who keeps a
grogshop, and who had been notified by
Iladlock to remove by a certain titno.
The time having expired, Iladlock made
his appcaranco at the window of her
domicil, which he smashed in. and noti
fied her that, if sho did not leave by
night he would return and murder her.
At night ho returned, ond discovered
the woman and her son setting in tho
house. Ho broke the window and
pushed his head in, when sho struck
him on the head with a mallet, nnd ho
fell heavily to the earth. She listened
a few minutes, and hearing him groan,
went outside anl found him lying in nn
almost dying condition. She called for
her eon to bring her nn axe. The son
did so, and she took it from him, and de
liberately chopped the body up into
small pieces and left it for the hogs to
devour. She went back into tho houBO
and retired to bed. At last accounts,
she had not been arrested, nor was alio
likely to bo, as the citizens justified the
act."
A Fair Oiter. A veteran related
the following : It on?e happened that
a mule driver was engaged in leading an
unruly mule for a short distanco which
job proved about as much as be was
able to do, and gave full employment for
both ol his hands, as be wab thus en
gaged ; a newly appointed brigadier
rode un near huu in all of the conse
quential radiance of his starlight, when
the mule driver hailed him as follows :
"I say. I wish you would send a coup
le of men down here to help me to man.
age this mule."
The brigadier, indignant at being so
familiarly addressed, sternly replied
"Do you know who I am, sir?"
"Yes," was the reply, "you are Gen.
1 believe.
"Then why do you not snlnto mo be.
lore addressing me?" inquired the brig,
adier.
"I will responded the M. D., "if you
will get off and hold the mule."
The brigadier retired iu good order.
S"Tbe race for getting married dis
