STEERAGE AND CABIN-
)>
I was in the steerage. She was in
the cabin. Not that I was not as
much astonishi d to see her, as, possi-
b y t > be u as to ste me. I bad no idea
hat she was in the Persia, though
I knew it was settled some time be
fore that the Dufours were going to
Europe.
it was a glorious moonlight even
ing the third night out. How well
i remember it! The first mate was
a good friend of mine. He had
known me in my callow days of
spending and pleasure, for I had
gone as cabin passenger more than
once. 1 was indebted to nim for the
neat arm-chair in which I posed,
nightly, to enjoy my cigar and make
mental apostrophes to the moon.
Now and then I could go on the
passenger-deck at night, through
h.s courtesy; and as I uas not
yet seedy, though iny
clothes were far from new, I
fan y I did no discredit to the aristo
cratic loungers who never noticed
me, as, at his leisure, I was always
in company with Alvord, the mate.
Musing, as usual, I sat. on the low
er deck, my hat thrown back, my
gaze intent on her majesty the
moon, when I heard a voice that
sounded familiar. It. said:
“Oh, inercy!”and then a moment
after: “Don’t let’s stay here. Lu.”
I looked up just as the beaut fit I
" proud face was tinned, profile, to
ward me.
“Gracious heavens!” I said under
my breath. “Lilly Dufour! the
banker’s daughter.”
I did not see her companion, and
before I could move or speak, it l
had been so minded, both Indies had
gone.
I smiled to myself, though my
face burned and my ears tingled.
Only a few months ago and I had
been ner partner in a german given
at one of the most aristocratic
homes in New York. Her beauty
impressed me; the acquaintance
ripened into love. She had accept
ed me, and .! was the happic-st man
In the universe. Then a great mis
fortune occurred, involving me in
the disgrace of the head of the firm.
Innocent though I was, 1 ha 1 to un
dergo many searching inquiries be
fore the verdict was made public.
Stripped of money, my good name
under a cloud, for a time, at least, I
looked lor sympathy from my love
ly fiancee, and I was astonished
beyond measure at the coolness of
her reception, the almost indiffer
e"co with which she listened to my
defense. And when, again, site de
clined to receive me, and wrote me
a cold little note in which she in
formed me, in a beautiful Italian
hand, that our engagement was at
an ■- nd, 1 was absolutely petrified
w ith amazement. How often she had
talked of love in a cottage! How
eloquently declared that, falling
fortune or failing health, and even
honor, her heart would be true to
itself and me; her love the shield
and reward. 1 could uot believe it
possible. 1 tried to se • her, hut
was always repulsed. 1 wrote; hut
received no reply. 1 haunted her
walks, her drives. She never look
ed at me.
Desperate and disheartened,I cared
not what became of me. For weeks
I moved, ate, worked like an au-
-.oinaton. I was at my worst when
a note came from a young lawyer,
formerly my chum, and a good fel
low to boot:
“Dear Hal—There is splendid
news for you. Come down to the
office as soon as you can.
Yours, Fred.”
What news was there that mat-
tued anything to me? I scarcely
cared to eliey the summons. That
evening Fred stopped me on the
street.
“Why didn’t you come?” he ask-
P , . “Gf course you got my note?

it would leap from my body,

shire—I "'as named tor him), I was

in America.
•‘Keep quiet about this matter,
will you ?” I asked. “Don’t let it
get in the papers just yet. I have a
good reason for asking it. Above
all, don’t talk among your friends,
f have nothing to do but to start at
once.”
“You will let me help you?” he
said.
“Not a cent. 1 took an oath that
so help me heaven, I would never
borrow agaip. It has nearly been
my ruin once. 1 have enough to
take me there and back, steerage.
If on arriving there I can establish
my identity, money will be easy
enough, and I shall have incurred
no obligation. I’ll go just as I am.”
In less than three days I had
plenty of proof concerning my iden
tity—my mother’s marriage certifi
cate being the mod important paper;
had engaged my passage—steerage
.—in tire Persia; and, desiring to he
known to no one, enjoyed my pecu
liar position with tiie zest of one
superior to circumstances.
Did my heart throb f<ster, when
on that beautiful night I saw the
face of the girl I loved? Well, yes,
for a moment or two. But I had
also learned to d-spise her charac
ter loo thoroughly to give way to
sentiment. If I had not quite con
quered my infatuation,! was master
of myself.
She, over there, in her rose-col
ored reveries, speculating upon
the possibility of winning a duke at
the lowest in tnat marvelous Lon
don; I, in the steerage, rhough
kindly cared for by my sailor
friend.
1 smiled as l wondered what her
i thoughts could be just now. I was
more than anxious to know her
opinion through some available
means, and taking the advantage ot
my friend’s permission, I haunted
the upper deck nightly
For some time 1 was disappoint
ed. At histone evening she came
up on deck, a young lady following,
carrying her shawl and a pillow.
They ca ue quite near where I sat,
my face to the sea, watching the
wonderful gold and crimson gleams
that mingled with the ripples and
wavelets left in her wake by our
good ship.
“Now, are you quite well fixed?”
asked the young lady, who I sup
pose was her companion.
“Yes, thanks. Sit down. I wish
to ask you something. Have you
found out about him yet?”
“No, indeed. How can X talk of
it? Nobody knows him bul you
and 1.”
“Strange that we should meet
here of all things, and he in that
horrid place!”
“Nothing strange, it he is poor,”
said Hie sweet, low voice of the
other.
“I hate poverty! besides ”
her tones fell, her words were in
audible.
“I hope you will never be sorry,”
was the answer.
“.-lorry!” with a scornful laugh.
“He has certainly lost his beauty,”
she added, with a bitterness in her
voice that I had uever heard before,
and in which only her pride spoke.
“One can never tell in these busi
ness troubles how far dishonesty
will lead a man. Probably he-is
running away!”
1 pulled my hat lower over mj
face, which was a burning flame. 1
longed to turn upon her and up
braid her with her treacle, ry, hut i
controlled myself
“Never!” said the other, with em
phasis. “How can you speak of
such a thing! 1 believe him to he
the soul of honor-.-a thorough gen
tleman! He looks it.”
Who could this girl be? I tried
to steal a glance at her, but could
see only the outlines of a very-
graceful figure. I remembered then
that Lilydtad once or twice spoken
of a cousin in such a way as led me
to think her a dependent upon her
bounty. This must b“ she. And
how grateful I was for her sweet,
heartfelt defense of me! 1 wonder
ed if X should see her again.
Night after night I waited pa
tiently in the moonlight, until at
last X gave up looking for her. She
did come one night, however, with
elderly gentleman whom I did
not know. I was in my old place
in’s superior. Of that I felt assur
ed, and was quite willing her image
should haunt me.
A few weeks had passed, and I
stood before the gates of a fine old
mansion, now my own estate—in a
Devonshire village, and looked up
the long avenue bordered by noble
oaks. Al! that my uncle had died
possessed of-■'as left to me, money
and lands. I certainly did feel the
pride of possession in the first Hush
of proprietorship. I held my head
erect, I was once more even with
the world. The country about was
exceptionally beautiful. Bos
hedges bordered the village lane-
here and there a farm lay smiling
in the sunshine—cottages dotted
the hillsides. Everywhere the land
spoke of care and prosperity. The
house was well preserved, and fill
ed with solid though quaint furni
ture. There were hothouses, and
all the inventions of this utilitarian
age needed for farming on a large
scale, on the grounds. I saw the
houses of my tenants. I was lord
of the soil.

«w her face. It was as I had
hoped, a lovely, you' ..1„1 face, and 1
could hear every i..flection of her
clear, low voice.
“Quite nice people, I suppose, go
as steerage passengers sometimes,’
I heard her say.
“Oh yes, even gentlemen in re
duced’ circumstances. Indeed I
once had a rich friend—you might
call him a crank—who went ‘for the
fun of the thing,’ he said, to see life
in a new phase. I believed he
liked it b-st,” and the old gentle
man laughed.
“A girl with such a face.” I said
to myself, “must be worth winning:
by no means as beautiful as niv for
mer divinity, but more lovely iu
everyway.” Lily was taller, more
queenly, but this girl with the
sweet voice and glorious, starlike
eves was, in every way but the
mere matter of fortune, her cous-
country and some unsettled busi
ness there. There was yet work to
do, mistakes to eorrect, enemies to
meet, friends to reward.
Am#ng my acquaintances in the
metropolis was a young German
baron, who had married .a lovely
English girl, and with whom I had
passed many happy hours.
“You must come here to-night,”
said the young baroness, one day;
“I expect some Americans whom
perhaps you know-- the Dufours.
The young lady is exquisitely beau-
tiful;there are two--cousins,T think.
“I did kuow Dufour, the banker,
of New York,” I said quietly,
though my pulse fluttered with a
new thrill of gladness.
“Oh, yes— it must be the same
family. You will come?”
“On one condition,” I said.
“And what is that?”
“That you will not 3peak of me
’til I come. As I have anoth :r en
gagement, I sh til be here late in the
evening.”
“What! may I not even tell the
story of your good fortune ?”
“Anything, so you do uot mention
my name.”
She laughed— her quick woman’s
wit comprehended, and promising
to be very careful, she said her
adieus.
The reader perhaps anticipates,
I was spoken of as the young man
about whose extraordinary luck
they might have heard—the Amer
ican nephew of an old Devonshire
gentleman who had quarr lied
with his sister because her
marriage had displeased him, but
who at last had. relented and left
millions to her son—but she with
held ray name. Later on I came.
They were at tea, my host told me
It was a standing tea. I flatter my
self I made,my debut with singu

Well, it was almost worth losing
a fortune for that experience.
“Miss Dufour!” I said with a chill

discomfiture. It was almost like
terror. For once the reigning belle,
the woman of the world, was foiled,
mortified, extinguished.
Rallying at last, she tried in some
sort of way to regain her lost
strength; but I was in love with the
starry eyes and soul-lit face of her
cousin Lucy—had been ever since
that eventful night when I, looking
up from the lower deck—and on one
other memorable occasion— saw
her sweet face and heard her speak
for the joverty-stricken and almost

Le Paris publishes an interview
between one of its correspondents
and Mr. Gladstone, in which the
1 it ter is reported as saying: “The
Liberals who iollow me and the
Irish members constitute acompact
minority whose wishes it is all the
less possible to disregard, because
among the victors are some who
perhaps are less indisposed than is
believed to enter the path of tlior
ough reform tor Ireland. If I listen
ed to the warning of age I would re
tire from public life, but I tvould be
committing a guilty action in aban
doning the field after raising so
much ire and inspiring so many
hopes if I did not seek to appease
one and satisfy the other. I have
worked all my- life to deliver a suf
fering people, and I mean to die as
I lived.”
At an informal meeting of the
Cabinet Mr. Gladstone spoke in
favor of immediate resignation, and
he was supported by Earl Spencer
and Mr.Morely. Sir William Har-
eourt.Mr. Childers, Mr. Campbell
Bannermau and Sir Farrar Hor-
schell were in favor of challeng
ing a voteofthe House of Commons
,n a motion affirming the principle
of home rule for Ireland. Subse
quently, at dinner, Mr. Gladstone
stated that he had inflexibly decid
ed to resign and conduct an un
compromising opposition. In this
decision, Sir William Harcourt and
Mr. Childers then concut red.
The new Parliament will prob
ably be summoned to meet August
5. It will then, it is believed, be ad
journed to reasemble sometime in
October.
The July-number of the Eclectic
Magazine begins the forty-fourth
volume of the new series, and we
find ample evidences of the fact
that 'his stirring periodical justifies
its high reputation. No one who
wishes to keep himself abreast
with the best current thought ot
Europe can dispense with this mag
azinc. In the present number we
find a large variety of papers am
many eminent writers represented
Mathew Arnold attacks Gladstou
ism in an article called “The Nadir
of Liberalism;” and following this
paper we have one by Dr. Henry
Maudsley on “Heredity in Health
and Disease.” Frederic Harrison
attacks the new pedantry of schol
ars in changing the orthography- ot
well-established names, and Card!
nal Manning contributes a pungen
and suggestive article under the
name of “The Child of the English
Savage.” Laurence Oliphant writes
pleasantly about some of bis own
reminiscences, “Moss from a Roll

are papers on Longfellow,” on “ The
American Montaigne” (Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes), “The People and
their Friends,” by- a London artisan
Criticism as an Inductive Science,”
by William Archer, and an Astro

Proctor, “Whence Came the Com

suggestive and well selected. This
number contains aline steel-engrav

copied from Myer Von Bremen’s
celebrated painting, and, as it be
gins a new volume, it is a good
time lo begin a new subscription.
An interesting biographical
sketch of Joe. Jefferson, the most
beloved, if not the most famous, of
American actors, appears in the
August Harper’s. The writer,
William Winter, traces his dra

illustrious ancestors who followed
th same profession, shows how well
the player of “Rip Van Winkle”
deserves the astonishing success
which enables him to gratify his
fondness for painting on his Louis
iana estate, with only a small exer
cise of his stage talents to interrupt
his study of the other art. The ex

which excited unusual attention in
the Academy-exhibition two years

frontispiece to this number of the
Magazine.
The captains of the leading
