Waiting for the Dawn. BY IRENE INGE COLLINS. CHAPTER XIV. One day, about a month after the birth of her child, the doctor’s mysterious patient was more than usually restless, walking about the room with clasped hands aDd contracted brow. At last she rang a bell and dispatched a servant for the doctor. He came quickly and she met him at the door of her room. ‘I am glad to see you up, and apparently im proving my dear madame,' were his first words after greeting her. ‘Yes Doctor, thanks to your care and skill, I am much better. Doctor, I am quite strong again, tell me how soon I can leave this place ?’ •You are anxious to leave shortly ?’ ‘Very anxious to get away at once, if 1 may.’ ‘Had you net better wait till your husband comes?’ ‘He eannot come, and I have work to do. I cannot stay here longer idle in this lonely place.’ ‘I thought you liked ite loneliness? ‘I did, but I have a life-work before me—I have a vowed mission to accomplish. Then I cannot stay here inert any longer. To be idle is misery to the unfortunate. Only in action can they find peace.’ Her beautiful eyes were clouded with bitter memories and her tace expressed unutterable sadness if not despair. The physician looked at her with sympathy and curiosity strongly tugging at his heart. At last he said: ‘I think it would be prudent to wait another week, madam, but yon might with your strong resolution and fortitude travel now. Still it would be safest to wait, not only for your sake, but for your ohild's.’ ‘My child’s 1 .’ She uttered the words involuntarily, as it in her busy plans she had almost forgotten its ex istence. Still there was tenderness, in the tone with whioh she repeated the words ‘My child.’ ‘I think the child is doing finely,’ she said. T think no harm would happen to her—if I took her with me.’ •If,’ thought the Doctor. ‘Surely she does not mean to leave the child.’ He wondered more and more concerning this beautiful, mysterious woman. Would she go away without giving him any insight into her btrange conduct—any clue to her history? i She was speaking again, asking him for his bill against her. He had it with him and gave ' it to her and opening a drawer, she took out a roll of money and paid him. It was very mod erate, she thought, but she was glad it was no larger, for she would need all the money in her possession. ‘There are debts that money cannot discharge, ’ she said. ‘One such I owe you. I will never forget your kindness and sympathy. There is one favor I must still beg of you, and that is to forget that address I gave you. Tear it up plea-ie, and promise to forget it.’ ‘I will tear it, and try to forget it, since you seem distressed to have me remember it.’ ‘Thank you. Please accept this little paint ing—a sketch of this lonely, beautiful old place. It is not of much merit, but I would like you to have some of my handiwork. You have shown yourself so true a friend, I would like you to remember me. Now, I wounl like to lie down; my head swims so. Doctor, good bye and God bless you. CHAPTER. XV. In the golden days of October there was^a marriage full of happy auspices—a wedding more brilliant than the quiet town had seen tor many a day. Su.ie Carroll was married to Sam Farman in the village ehurch, which was wreathed with flowers and evergreens, while overhead swung a great marriage bell made of many snowy flowers. Carrie and Anna Far man were among the bridesmaids and rivaled the blushing bride in their delicately-tinted ‘Yon did? you have postively rejected him!’ cried Carrie. ‘I was afraid ‘Yon were afraid that I loved him. Oh! no Carrie, when he asked me to-day, if If I would make him as happy as Sam was, l could not help telling him ‘never’ stoutly enough. He looked at me keenly and accused me of trifling with him and his face grew dark in an instant and he gave me a look I shall never forget. I am not afraid of him though.’ The bridal party accompauid only by Anna left the village behind them iu the midst of the fare wells and good wishes and waving handker chiefs of a crowd of friends. They reached the railroad station and went flying across the country on the wings of steam. They took Look Out mountain in their course, and spent a day or two upon that grand monument of na ture with its glorious view of the immenoe pan orama of city and plain and river and far off mountains rolled out beneath the eye. Here they met friends returning from their sojourn at springs and other summer resorts. Then continuing thoir journey, they passed rapidly over a country—the most picturesque of any in the Southern States. Grand mountain ranges every where met their eye—their base and sides clothed in green trees, their summits blend ing in soft rose and violet colors with the horizon. Often the road wound along their sides or at their feet and one coaid see the broken rooks, the over hanging precipices, the streams like threads of silver winding down their sides. Anna, who was an artist and had all her life reveled in every poetic aspect of nature was enraptured by these grand panoramic views that she caught as the train swept on. She hardly removed her eyes from their changing bean y and even the bridal pair, though much taken up of course with each other and with their own happiness, were impressed with the succession of glorious landscapes that could be enjoyed from the car windows. On they flew, past villages and cities and hard ly fatigued they saw the dome of the Capitol and knew they were approaching the seat of their Country’s government. Their stay in the ‘City of magnificent distances was just long enough to permit a cursory look at the lions.—A glance through the splendid rooms of the Capitol build ing, at the national library, at the Senatorial and Representative halls where the law makers of the nation fulminated their thunder, at the parks and beautiful drives and at the art treas ures and other objects of interest. Anna would have loved to linger over some of there, but she was longing to reach New York. So soon they were once more en route and paused not until the domes and roofs and spires of the great city were before them, and a babel of various noises —rattle of vehicles, jingle of bells, cries of cabmen and fruiterers aud hucksters announc ed that they were in New York. They drove to one of the comfortable and elegantly appoint ed hotels, secured rooms, and rested and re freshed were ready to see friends or to begin their inspection of the many places of interest. As soon as he knew of their arrival, Qharies harried to call upon them. His delight at meet ing the fair girl who had won his heart in her hospitable Southern home, spoke in his glow ing eyes and his lignted face as he clasped her hand, and she who had been called proud and cold, was a blushing, tender, loving woman un der the spell of those dark eyes. He warmly congratulated Sam and his lovely bride and begged to allow himself to be their cicerone while they were in the city, as he knew every point of interest and would take pleasure in being their guide. Those were radiant days for Anna—those days of sight seeing in the beau tiful busy city with Charles Ennis to point out its industries and its beauties—its architectu ral and mercantile and manufacturing lions, its cflurcIteS? theatres and art gaEr&iies. r “ One day, not long after their arrival, they had been out walking and riding all the morning and were soon by Charles, invitation to lunch at Delmonico’s where he had ordered an elegant collation. Agreeing to meet at this prince of restaurateurs, Sam and Susie separated from their friends and were their on way to Tiffany's to select some presents for the home folks when almost at the door of the splendid establishment, Sae What is Portaline? This question is thus briefly and truthfully answered.

Mackenzie aud Professor Adderseen, third round June 25. 1878: robes. . Carrie was paler than she had been some i caugat her husbands arm with a gesture o: sur- months ago and her sweet mouth had graver i prise and, excitement, lines about it. Anna, fair as a camellia, look- ‘ T,nnt ’ aV ' fl evolaim ed lovlier and happier, for her heart held pleasant secret. The bride was a vision of in nocent beanty and grace, and a handsomer pair could hardly be imagined than she, with her veil ot delicate lace falling about her like a mist of silver, and he in his frank, manly good looks with a world of tender and hon est love looking out of the eyes he bent proud ly upon the fair creature at his side. Anna was to accompany the bridal partv in their wedding trip to Washington, New York, aud other points of interest. Carrie had giv en out going. She seemed to have lost much of her interest in gay and social life. ‘Anna, you are the artist of the family,’ she said to her sister. ‘Go and have a look at the sublime mountain and lake scenery and sketch them for me to see ’ The fine views and the pleasure of travel ing and seeing mw places and scenes and works of art had much to do with Anna’s desire to ac company her brother and his bride, but there was another and more powerful inducement which she confided to none but her sister—this was her wish to see Charles Ennis. He was in New York, where they purposed staying for some time, and she should once more see the face that was imaged on her heart and the voice she heard in her dreams. They had been cor responding almost regularly since Charles went away, aud his letters had breathed a tender, manly interest that plainly told Anna she was not forgotten. She showed his last letter to Carrie on the day of Sam’s marriage. ‘What a frank, noble letter,’ Carrie said when she had read it. ‘You are blessed, dear sister, in having won so true a heart, but do you love him in return ?’ •Yes,’ she said, the color coming into her face ordinarily so proud and cold. ‘I love him as I never loved before.’ ‘Oh sister,’ cried Carrie, ‘forgive me, but how could you, loving a good man like Charles En nis encourage the attentions of Eugene Bertram as you have done.’ ‘I have given hi little emneouragement. I have permitted his tentions, atand I have talked with him frequently for a purpose. Carrie, I knew he cared for me and I hoped in some un guarded moment to learn from him the secret of Eloise Ennis’ diaappearance.’ ‘You believe he knows it then ?’ ‘I do. I believed that from the first, but fear ed to say so openly. But since I have known and Joved Eloise’s brother, I would do any thing to free his mind from auxiety; and I have used every artifice to induce Bertram to let fall some word,or some hint that would give me a clue to her hiding place. He has been too cautions. I am afraid he fathomed my motive. He is so shrewd, when her name is mentioned he is si lent and lets me do the talking. Charles has not been able to find out anything either. He made every inquiry along the routes she would have to go, and he has advertised and had de tectives at work to no purpose. He cannot get even a trace. His ill success weighs on his spir it In one of his letters he says, “I mourn my sister now as dead. I have given up hope, though I have not yet abandoned the search for her.” Dear, noble, loving brother that he is, my heart felt for him, and you will not blame me, Carrfe that I acted with a little duplicity in trying to gain influence over Bertram for a pur pose. It is done away with now. To-day he addressed me and I positively rejected him.’ Look,’ she exclaimed. ‘That is she !’ ‘ Who ! what! where !’ exclaimed Sam. ‘ Elcise Ennis. Don’t you see her ? ‘ No,’ said Sam looking up along the ranks of male and female passers iu the direction indi cated by his wife. Can’t be Eloise Ennis though, for Charles told me positively he had heard nothing of his sister.’ ‘ I tell yon that is she. Look there; that lady in deep monrning with the long crape veil.’ ‘By Jove it is Eloise Ennis, I’d know her figure among a thousand !’ ‘ So would I. I can’t see her face well through the veil, but see here Sam I am going to address her as Eloise Ennis as she passes; watch if she starts or turns.’ The lady alluded to, who had been slowly approaching, now came so near as almost to touch them. ‘Eloise, Eloise Ennis,’ called Susie rather loudly. The lady passed on without turning her head. Susie started a step or two after her, meaning to detain her and mak9 sure, but the stream of passers came between them and she felt Sam’s hand drawing her back - ‘ Oh ! Sam, you saw her, but she gave no sign of recognition. Did she ? Did you see her start ?’ ‘ If it had been Eloise she certainly would have spoken or given some sign that she knew us—and yet it was certainly like her.’ ‘ It was, I am rarely mistaken in the identity of people I have met.’ The little bride was so excited she could hardly make her purchases. As they walked back to Delmonico’s Sam said: ‘I dont see why the detectives Charles has paid to find his sister have not come up with her here, if that was really she just now, and I believe it was. Shall we mention this to Charles ?’ ‘ No, I think not. There was a doubt about the identity and what we tell him may only excite false hopes. There are so many people here one gets bewildered at the sight of the endless stream of faces. A strong resemblance may have deceived us.’ Susie was quite pale with excitement even when she reached Delmonico’s, where she found Charles and Anna seated at a little round table, with another near them for Sam and herself. ‘ What is the matter ?’ asked Anna whose keen eyes saw everything that passed. ‘ Nothing only a little disappointment. I saw an old friend as I thought, and called her name, bat she passed without seeming to recognize me.’ ‘A resemblance doubtless,’ commented Charles. They are often very singular. ’ They made no reply, but both Sam and Susie felt almost sure the black robed, black veiled figure they had seen was Eloise Ennis. Yet what was she doing here in New York unknown to the brother who was searching for her and keeping herself mysteriously aloof from him ? And why did she not recognize an old friend who called her name ? TO BE CONTINUED Mr. Harry Lee, who played the part of yoang Atkins in ‘Baby’ at the Park Theatre last sum mer, is engaged for next season at the Chester Street Theatre, Philadelphia,for the leading j u- venile business.
