VI.”
Col. Massingbird, his daughter and
cousin Adela Were at Ply'mOuth. All
Indian friend, to whom a. very charm '
cottage belonged, was under ordersto
rejoin his regiment in India. Col. MW
singbird ofieredto take the cottage off
his hands. The arrangement so agreeable
to both parties was coil-led out and thus
it. came about that t 6 little family mi-
grated from Mayfair to the old world
sea t of Devonshire.
’1 9 weather was stlll warm, though
the air was fresh, and it seemed to Cal'-
men that the only pleasure left herin
life was to sit out and watch froma
pretty myrtle bower at the end of the
garden, overlooking the sea, the lovely
panorama spread out before her eyes.
The sparklin sea, the rocky hills that
sloped down tender ts to the water,
the long breakwater, wit the swelling
waves that dashed against it, toss-
ing their spray like owels in the
sunshine; the busy suiIlnf g vessels as
they came and went freighted
wit merchandise; the little risk-
ish yachts that floated hither and
thither, Carmen could even hear the gay
laughter of their occu nts borne up—
wards by the breeze. 0 bands of the
garrison, their music distant but clear,
would waft strains of harmony so famil-
iar, so dear, that she and Geoffry had so
often heard- together.
Bitter swect! But it soothed her as
nothing else could have done. Her
father rarely disturbed her, as he found
with almost womanly intuition that for
the present solitude seemed the greatest
balm for her wounded heart. So she
spent hours, idle hours, no doubt, with
no company but nature, fresh, sunny,
invigorating, ever changing nature.
Cousin Adela was perfectly happy.
There were no wearisome dinners, no
hot, stuffy theatres, no fatiguing flower
shows, no standing about on damp
lawns, no “at homes,” with their ever
wearying streams of bored humanity.
Instead of all these drawbacks to happi-
ness, as she understood the word, there
was the cool, delightful market, where
she could bargain and co to herheart’s
content, and arrange elicious little din-
ners to tempt a sybarite. And she de-
voutly hoped that thief k of her spoilt,
dearly loved oung rela ve would last.
The colonel on the whole liked the
place. He found several congenial
‘riends, and the delicate health of his
only daughter was an all sufficient rea-
son for the quiet life lived by the inmates
of The Myrtles.
"Carmen, can you give me your atten-
tion for a. short time?’
“Why, certainly, papa. I am a ver-
itable lotus eater.” -
“I have heard from 80er and Balm-
bridge this morning.”
“Yes,” she answered with evident
anxiety. ,
“My poor child, your marriage cannot
be dissolved; it is egal, binding, irrevo-
cable. Your unfo ' .to husband can
be prosecuted for per ury, and its p'en<
city is, two or more yea'rs’ penal Servi-
tude.”
“What can you mean, papa. ” cried
Carmen. “I do not understand,”
“The lad must have made a false de-
claration. In fact it is oved thathe
did. He stated you werelhoth of age—
21; and for that—he has committed per-
jury.”
“Oh, papa, papa. But surely”—
“Carmen, instead of rprosecuting him
for perjury, I mustw to and find out
where he is, and urge him immediately
to return to this country. nun you
must both live as man and wife.”
“Oh, father!” And the terrible bitter-
ness of her cry went forth. It sounded
the final knell of all chance of Geoffry's
love, of all hope indeed.
“I shall allow him an income,” con-
tinued Col. Massingbird, “and you will
be of age almost immediately, and re-
ceive the fortune bequeathed you by
your godfather.”
“Suppose—ho will not care to come
after what I told him in my last letter?”
“There will beno alternative,” said her
father with emphatic sternness. There
was no more to be said, and the colonel
left the room. She sat as one stunned.
The young husband had no place in her
thoughts; it was Geofl’ry, always Geo .
And then, if Allen did return, she wo ‘d
be compelled by law to live with him;
and all her heart, all her love, one out
to another! And yet she had logodu ‘ Fitz-
clare. But it seemed so long ago. She
took herself to task; she tried to recall
Allen to her thoughts, but it was useless;
for Geoffry Estcourt, with his mature
manhood, hls all absorbhg' personality,
filled every corner, every @131”? of her
heart. It was a very wear ess of the
flesh.
“My dear Carmen! You ,ought really

any I may as w so ._ve bro ht
bac ,some clotted c, m. titans" l-
ity here, and it is so good with traffic.”
“Is it?” said Capture chastity.
“Is it? y', ‘o console ! answered
Cousin Ad 'Wl, end!”
“Oh. Cousin A elal I'dOn’t care about
clotted cream or anything else. What
does it matter what one cats or drinks?
It is all wretched.”
“It matters very considerably, and
you would find it out if your meals did
not arrive in due course. My dear Car-
men, you have very nearly reached the
age of 21, and you have never had one
ungratified wish; you have never known
what so many, many of us have learned
in the bitter school Of experience-what
it. is to do without.” ,
“Their I am learning it all at once.
Alas! ForIcannot have what I wish,
nor ever again.”
“Well, well,” said Cousin Adela, shak-
ing her head as she left the room, “I
wish I could help you, my dear. All I
can do is, to look after your comforts
and those of your dear father, who, I
am thankful to say, does appreciate
them.”
Honestly, Miss Adela. Hewitt could not
understand any one grieving or giving
up entirely over a “love affair.” It is not
an essential, not a necossary, but a lux-
ury. “Look at me, I have never had a
love affair in my life. Am I unhappy?
Certainly not. On the contrary, I really
never was happier than I have been since
we came to Plymouth; no worries, nice
straightforward housekeeping, so differ-
ent from tlloso high and mighty trades
people in Mayfair. Indeed, I must say
Carmen is ungrateful to Providence in
not appreciating all the advantages of
this place.” .
“Perhaps she does, in her way,” an-
swered Col. Massingbird with a. smile, to
whom this argument had been ad-
dressed.
Certainly Miss Massingbird was su-
premely indifferent to the market and
the menage. So it was well for the es-
tablishment generally that Cousin Adele
was heart—whole.
Col. Massingbird had been wounded
to the quick by the unlocked for'mystery
in his daughter‘s life, and blamed him-
self for it all. For it was he, and he
alone, who had given the Misses Bayl'ey
at the Havensmouth school strict injunc-
tions to allow hischerished daughter
as much libert as possible. And as his
aunt, Lady athél-ino Massingbird, a
most thorough going old mondaino re-
sided thei-e continually (when she had
no pressing London engagements), much
of his dau hter’s time had been spent in
her ladysh ‘8 company. And Herbert
Massingbird felt pained and grieved for
his friend iGeofIry Estcourt’s suffering,
for which alas, there seemed no conso-
lationfifilr {Geoflry was now bitterly
angered with Carmen, but who could
say, in the years to come, if there had
beenfino obstacle? As it was, they could
only wait upon events. The lawyers
allowed no grass to ow under their

informed that from the address Carmen
had furnished them he had long since
departed. Ho had sold his a . I‘éqf, the
stock, and with" his partner alsh had
gone up the c uni-l?
After that the c cw was lost, and the
weary months sped, on.
It grieved Col. Massingbll'. do see i '
dang lter losing all her brig t, beading
youth, to see the soft brown eyes with
their pathetic sadness, She made
no complaint, but bore her sorrow
with a patient gentleness. She realimd
now she had done wrong, and must
abide by the consequences.

“At last we have heardfrom our agent
in Australia. It would seen: from his
letter that Mr. Fitzclare has been dead
forat least two years. But ‘you will learn
from Mr. Frisby's letter (inclosed) the
exact state of the case.”
[Inclosum]
“According to your instructional have
followed up the clew ou sent me, and
it would appear that; tor Mr. Fitzclare
left the Transcong Station he went up
the fcountry with a man named Walsh.
Ftom what I can learn they went uni
shooting, and Mr. Fitzclare was hit-
ten by a poisonous snake, and al—
though, with eat presence of mind,
he cut ou' the injured part.
with his penknifo (unfortunately they
no, flask with them), and inspito of the
strenuous endeavors of his friend to
arouse him, a deathly collapse overcame
Mr. Fitzclure, during which he suc-
cumbed. He was buried at Paddington,
near Sydney. Inclosed are certificates
and other papers, relating to this matter;
also a letter addressed, presumably, to
his wife. It was owing to tho advertise-
ments in the various newspapers that
these diseaveries have now been brought
to light, as the man Walsh has only just
returned from California. I am, &c.”
“Then she absolutely was a widow

Poetry;
And yet commandant-vagrant..-
the poor young husband, who died so
sad at death, away from home and coun-
try, only tcnded by the rude kindness of
a bushman! After reading heso papers
carefully through, he thong t it better
to postpone the interview with his
daughter till later in the day.
He brought the letters and papers to
Carmen’s sitting room, saying, “These
have been forwarded from Australia,
dear."
Every trace of color fled from, her face.
“01., papa, what is it? What do they
say?” ‘
“You had better read your letters,”
said be, preparing to leave her,
“Stay, papa. Do please tell me the
particulars.” .
“Your husband is dead, and has been
these two years.”
“Poor Allen!” _
Col. Mussingbird then read the letters
from the lawyers and their agent. 'As

The tears streamed (him; her face un-

her thoughts went back to their Inst

his tender clasp, his kisses on' her fetch

past all reparation.
“0h, Allen. m poor boy! With your
pure, white so , if you c helir the

Then sadly her eyes fell on a parcel of
letters. She turned them over, An ex-
clamation of great thankfuiness escaped
from her lips. “Thank god! No, he
never received my cruel letter.”
It was unopened, just as slip had sent
it, the date outside, the name or 'the

her repentance, their wanderings in

all the details. Sir Geoffry, he knew,
was absent from Estcourt, but Col. Mas-
singbird cruftily left the affair in Marcia’s
hands. He knew Geoffry would either
hear of the letter or see it. And the
father’s thought was, could be but to-
storo the bloom to his daughter's cheek
and the light to her eye, he would not
be too particular as to ways and means
of accomplishment.

Goodwood was over, and with it the
London season. It had passed unno-
ticed, uncured for oven by the inmates”
of The Myrtlcs. Col. Massingbird had
long since ceased to‘i'epresent the loyal
city of Brackenhurstin parliament. The
care and. happiness of his daughter was
the one object in life now.
There Is a strange, peaceful quiet that
comes to us when we once realize we are
living outside instead of inside the busy
world. We seem so far off the turmoil
and excitement; little details of daily
life, trivial at other times, now become
interesting. Our favorite author, the
music we love. the friendliness of the
fé‘tV'Elufi—e—n _énés make up the sum Of a.
tranquil happiness. And Carmen was
feeling this.
Her fierce, 'wild love for Geofilry Est-
court had left her, but in its stead was a
tender, cherished memory that would
never die. , She devoted much of her
time to her father, and'gladdencd cousin
Adele’s heart by the interest she displayed
in the garden, and the little conservatory
was her especial care. .~
Again it was sunny August, and Car-
melt, seated in her chnise longue within
her myrtle bower, where the tenroées
mingled in delicious profusion With the
dark shiny leaves of the shrub, and many
little details of feminine occupation
showed that she spent much of her time
there. Dick, the canary, from a tiny
table which just held hiscago, was pip
forth lustily; old Don lay stretch _
across the threshold. A delightful sea
breeze came in and coquetted with her
hair, the scene beyond charming and re-
freshing to the senses, by reason of the
living, sparkling sea. _
And Carmen now thoroughly appreci-
ated it all, though she was quite un-
conscious of the meet center she herself
made in her-soft white, gown. And if
her dark eyes sometimes wore a look as
if they had missed something in life,
they always had a , of eunShine for
the beloved father and a warm caress for
Cousin Adela; ‘ It was 4 o‘clock, just a
little too early for afternoon tea,.aud it
Carmen gave herself over to the delicious
idleness of the hour; with one round am
under her brown head, and gently rock-
ing herself to and fro, softly, dreamily,
closed her eyes, and then everything was
still; even Dick followed his mistress’
example.

. Footsteps came softly up‘ the gravel
pathway. ‘Don slowly sh k himself,
and went out to rcconnoiter apparently
he was satisfied. Very gen y a shadow
fell across the entrance, an then it took
shape and looked with hungry, eager
eyes and took in the whole scene. It
was a perfect picture-the graceful sleep-
ing form, the climbing, sweet scented,
roses, the dainty needlewdrk, the half
finished sketch ’of the view beyond, the
silent canary, the intense repose im-
pressed tho locker on. i
Carmen gave herself over to the delicious
idleness of the hour. .
At last, some electric sympathy must
have passed from the intruder to the
sleeper, for gradually the dark eyelashes
unclosed, and the eyes shone out clear
and starry. . I

with her sweet gentle face.

“Carmen! Have you no word for me?

But she answered him not, and her
eyes were cast down.
“Carmen, you did love me once?” he
asked with passionate anxiety, as he
gazed at tho lovely downcast form. 3
“Yes, I did love you once.” ,
“Carmen, Carmen, is that all that you
can say ” and he seized her hands and
made her look up, and in the limpid
depths of those brown eyes he saw that he
was still loved. In a. moment his arms
clasped her, and there was no more fear:
no more estrangement; tout comprendre
c’est‘. tout pardonnor!
The band of the -th struck up on 01
English air, “Haste to tho VVedding.’f,

“Tho band, you mean? Yes]: jl
“They are playing ‘Haste to the VVed-fl

and what day is ours to be?” 5
“Oh, Geoffry, time enough for that by
and by.” 4
“Pardon me, my liege lady; I wish to
be back at Estcourt place for the shoot;
ing; your father is coming, and Lady.
Esteem-t must; be there to receive her
guests in person.”
“This is August now,” said Carmen
with a very rosy flush on her face.
“Exactly I”
“But I have nothing to be married in,
no trousseau, or anything.”
“Bo married in the gown you have on.
Can anything look more pure or sweet?
Do, dear! We can supplement every-
thing in Paris or London; only let us be
married, that is the main thing.”
“But dear old dad. What will he say?"
“He said, ‘Go in and win, GeolI.’ ”
However, we must. conclude he got
his own wa , for a society paper
stated that “a marriage had been
solcnmized between Sir Gedffl'y Est-
court, of Estcourt Place and the on]
daughter and heiress of Col. Messing-

She was very satisfied, for GeoffLr'y was
at last—after long probation—completely
happy. The shadow uplifted, the wagi-

where he would be.

As soon as she opened the door he came in,
set down and told the following tale:
“In the course of my rambles near the sea-
shoro I was obliged one evening to ask a
wealthy farmer to put me up for the night.
. “ ‘Why, ccrtainly,’ said he, with a prompt-
ness that surprised me. ‘Only too glad to
help a. fellow creature along. IVould you be
willing to sleep iii that burn yonder? it is snug
and clean. I use it only to store hay, and my
cattle are housed in that other one, further
away from the beach.’
“I thanked him for his kindness, and us it
was already growing dark he took a bunch
of keys, unlocked the door and ushered me
in. ‘Now,’ said be, ‘you can make a bed for
yourself in the hay. I shall lock you in, and
be around at 6 in the morning to let you out.
Good night.’
“Making as good a bed as possible in the
day, near the gable end, I lay down, expect-
ing to be asleep in five minutes; but, although
I was read to drop with fatigue before I on-
tered that born, I lay there for two hours
without closing my eyes, and I seemed to be
growing more wakeful as the night wore on.
At last. I sat u with my back against the well.
What could t matter be with me? I was
never troubled with insomnia before. Why
did I keep thinking, thinking, until my head
throbbed so that I could hear it? Why was
that man so. willing to accommodate me?
. This eagernem to shelter me for the night
without first asking my religious and political
opinions. or telling me I was big and ugly
enough to work, was unnatural, inhuman;
and, come to think of it, there wasu ghoulish
look in his eyes when he bade me good night.
“Pshawl this was all fancy—n delusion of
the brain, arising from a piece of moldy
mince pie bestowed upon me that morning by
a piously economical old lady, who wanted to
lay up treasure in heaven. The idea of any-
body expecting to ride to heaven on a night-

“Thus I raved and reasoned alternately for
two more hours, with my eyes fixed upon a
bright ray of moonlight which streamed
through a. chink ill the barn wall above In
head. I couldn’t keep my eyes oil? it. it
looked, to my excited fancy, like a long
bright finger pointing at something, and I
seemed to be waiting to see what it was.
“Gradually, as the moon mounted higher in
the heavens, that long bright ray descended
to the barn floor, until finally it rested upon
—a pair of heavy t0p boots, with the toes
turned up, sticking out from under a. heap of
hey at. the other end of the barn.
“A cold wave swept through me, and my
hair began to bristle like the tail of an indig-
nant cat. Who could my fellow ledger be?
Surely there were feet in those boots, or the
toes would not be turned up. Why didn’t he
sped]: to me during all this time? My en-
hated to finish the sentence.
my of moonlight seemed to dwell upon these
boots! I sat there glaring at them until I
could bear it no longer.
“There was no escape for me. If that door
had been left unlocked I would have rushed
out into the worst kind of a. storm; but I was
cornered, and could easily imagine the feel-
ings of a wild boost at bay. '
“With a sudden resolve to know the worst
at once, I rushed forward, and, seizing one of
the boots, shook it savagely, at the some time
yelling, ‘IVako ilp, horel’ My worst fears
wore realized. Nothing but the last trumpet
could awaken that man.
“How I passed the rest of that long, terri-
ble night Is a mystery to me. Morning came
at last, and when inino host opened the door,
he found mo standing very close to it, with
my back turned carefully toward those awful
boots.
“ ‘Well, did you enjoy a. good night’s i'est?’
he asked chcerily. I told him I did.
“ ‘You don’t look as though you did,’ said
be. ‘You look rather haggard and pale. Did
you see anything ?’
“I told him I did not, fooling sure that. if I
tgld him the truth he’d murder me too on

“ ‘ ’ml This is interesting,’ said be. ‘You
didn’t see anything, and yet: you look pale,
ghastly, terrified. And what’s this? Why,
your hair has turned gray! Pray sit down
On this bench and tell me exactly how you
felt. during the past night,’ and he took out a
note book and pencil. ‘Be sure, now. to de-
scribe your sensations accurately. Take
plenty of time.’ .
“ ‘What do you nicml?’ I asked.
“ ‘Wcll, must I explain? Perhaps it. is us
well that I should. The day before yester-
day a. schooner was driven ashore here in the
storm. Ollc of her crew was lost, and his
body was washed ashore yesterday. I am
keeping it in the barn there until his friends
come after it. I was wishing somebody would
como along and ask me for n night‘s lodging;

lowed you to sleep there last; night. I am a.

IN A MAINE FOREST.
An Old Hunter’s Reminiscences of Thirty
Years Ago—The Magnificent Moose—A
Boar They Dldn't Get and n “'oll' They
Lnld Ont. After a Fight.
When we came in sight of the big deer my
friend was wild with excitement and declared
that it was a moose. I laughed at him, and
told him that it would take four such door to
make a good sized moose. It took us the re-
tmltinder of the day to dress and convey our
game to camp. The next slay we went to the
settlement and engaged a. man to haul our
meat out of the woods. There was a long
piece of road, out of which many windfalls
had to be out. It was quite on expensive job,
but as my friend had a full purse, ho cheer-
fully paid the hill. “'8 stopped at the settle—
ment Otto night, and then returned to our
camp, arriving there near night. As we were
about to retire we heard a strange noise that
sounded at first something like that produced
by driving piling with a heavy maul. IVc
stopped quickly to the door and I at once
knew that it was a moose “calling.” The
sound was very loud, and not for from us,
and at one time we plainly hem-d his great
horns clashing among the trees. The next
morning we were up early. and very soon
had a smoking pan of fried deer meat. upon
the table. When breakfast. was over we de-
cided not to shoot. any door for a day or two,
but-try the moose.
A SIGHT wom'n SEEING.
We started out in the direction that we
heard the moose calling, and after We had
traveled about one-fourth of a mile came to
his tracks. The tracks were very large, and
we only wished that we could see his shaggy
hide. “'0 followed them only a short piece,
for the ground was so hard it was very diffi-
cult to tell what course he had taken. We
followed along the edge of the green land for
nearly a mile and came to a little brook, and
feeling the need of water, we stopped to
drink. My friend started a little ahead of
me. We passed from among the green trees
that shaded the brook and were ascending to
little hill. My friend had gained the top
when all of a sudden he dropped the breech
of his rifle upon the ground, and pointing
with his hand, exclaimed:
' “My God! what is that?”
I looked across a small heath about fifty
rods wide, and upon a high bank stood the
largest moose I ever saw. It was evident
that he saw us, as his great head and horns
were turned toward us. It; was a fine sight,
and worth traveling fifty miles to see. As he
stood with his head high in the air, the dis-
tance from the ground to the top of his horns
could not have been less than twelve feet.
My friend for a moment was dumb with
astonishment. “Heavens and earth!” he at
last exclaimed, “is that. a moose?" I told him
it was one of the largest. The moose was too
for of! for a shot, and as he saw us, we had
little hopes of getting nearer. Wo dropped
back behind the hill, and endeavored to get
tothe leeward and approach, him, but the
wary creature was not: thus to be deceived,
for when we again emerged from the low
land, he was gone.
During the morning we had seen a number
of door, but. as our appetite was so strong for“
moose, we had not. attempted to shoot one.
Now, however, as we did not expect to get a
shot at a moose, we were ready to shoot a deer.
As we were a long piece front the camp, we
turned our steps in that direction. The
ground was literally plowed by the hoofs
of moose and deer. Vv’o moved cautiously
along, but saw not a living creature. Our
course now led us over a strip of land some—
what: broken by small hills. and each one
crowned with large oaks. We were care—
fully scanning every clump of trees and
bushes for some animal to shoot, and in fact
we were very eager for a shot, if at nothing
more than another poor old porcupine. “’0
now arrived at a point where the oaks Were
quite plentiful, and some of them very large.
A FRIEND xx NEED.
We stopped to take a view of the surround-
ing country. At this moment we heard a
rustling among the leaves. It was so faint:
we did not. detect the cause or the direction
from whence it came. Our thumbs were
u n the hammers of our rifles in a moment.
0 scanned every nook and corner; but, oh,
if we had only looked upl, We did, but too
late; for again we heard leaves rustic, and

about twenty feet high, and dropped like a
plummet, striking upon his hind feet. Our
rifles were brought to our faces that instant;
but the roughness of the ground favored him
and we did not get. a shot. IIo evidently had
climbed the oak for acorns, which they are
very fond of.
There are ups and downs in all business,
and we began to think that the latter had
prevailed so far, during the day. We blamed
ourselves, for our carelessness was the cause
of our ill luck.
“’0 sat down and resolved to watch for
some time, as many hunters adopt this mode
of hunting ill preference to any other. We
had sat: but a. few moments when we saw a.
small deer running past us, and to. few rods
behind a largo wolf in pursuit. The door
was nearly run down, we knew, because its
mouth was open and its tongue protruding.
For a moment we saw them, as they were
soon hidden by rising ground. Again they
came in view, and this time nearer. In a.
moment the deer turned and came toward
us, and we saw that the race was nearly
over, as the wolf was not more than thirty
feet behind.
The deer turned, and would pass at a point
not more than five rods from us. Our rifles
were brought to our faces. We were just
pulling upon the wolf, when he by two mas-
terly springs caught the deer by the thigh.
The poor creature bloated piteously and
fell. The wolf let go his hold upon the thigh,
and seized him by the throat; but the loud
report of two rifles broke up the scene, and
the savage brute hobbled away with a broken
leg and a bullet through his body.
The little deer sprung to his feet, looked
around for a moment and then ran away as
if nothing was the matter. We loaded our
rifles and followed after the wolf and soon
saw him, and a. very sick wolf ho was.
Soon we come near enough for a. shot, and
had the luck to break another leg, and as
they were on opposite sides he still tried _hard
to get away, but another shot stop him,
and a vigorous use of a club stilled for-
ever. His hide was soon stripped of! rind we
were on our way to the camp, well satisfied
with our morning’s hunts—Themes A. Crab-
