Waiting for the Dawn. BY IRENE INGE COLLIER. CHAPTER XXVL Wonderful was the metamorphosis which skilled workmen and gardeners wrought in Ocean View. Paint, plaster and varnish were so skillfully applied and toned in color that they did not detract from the mellow, antique look of the building, the moulding and carving were renovated, the doors and window casings of richly carved mahogony took a brighter tint and polish and the beautiful columns, cleared of moss and mould, rose white and stately. The extensive grounds under the supervision of a French gardener from New Orleans, lost their look of neglected wildness in the pictur esque and beautiiul forms they assumed. Wind ing walks led to arbors formed by the interlac ing branches of cedar and crepe myrtle. Ever greens were trimmed into fanciful shapes, box wood bordering clipped till not a leaf was out of place, grass mown, the long gray moss pulled away from where it huDg too abundantly on or ange and lemon trees; terra cotta vases placed here and there under the shade of trees held trailing vines, while rose climbers and jessa- , mine vines were trained over frames of green I wire shaped like harps, lyres, triangles or j crosses. The fountain cleared of choking sand and weeds once more tossed its little stream of silvery water in the sun, and long sprays of j roses already in bud dipped into the marble ba- • Bin. Within the stately mansion transformations had been wrought by the upholsterer’s art. Some of the rooms retained their rich, old-fash ioned furniture, but others had been litted up in sumptuous modern style and one room espe cially that opened upon the loveliest view of the Ray was a perfect gem in its tasteful and ex quisite appointments. A soft carpet of pearl- gray ground strewn with wreaths of blue forget- me-nots covered the floor, curtains of fleecy lace over pale blue damask were looped back by a silver acanthus leaf. The furniture was exquis ite in design and workmanship; dainty volumes in blue and gild strewed a little table of rare gold-veined marble, and near the mantle a love ly maible Psyche held out a vase in which bloomed real violets planted in the earth within the delicate vase. This room looked as though designed for a lady's boudoir. Who could it be meant for? Who was Bertram intending to bring to this beautiful home of his ? Is all this grandeur and spaciousness lor himself? Is Ocean View to be a bachelor's home and to waste the sweet ness of its bowers and gardens upon beings who prefer the odor of a pure havanna to the spir itual fragrance of a tuberose or night-blooming jessamine? Certainly, in spite of his beautiful surroundings, Eugene does not look happy. He has returned, he sits gloomily by the win dow. He is not admiring the grassy terraces that slope so gracefully down to the water’s edge. His brow is knit, his mouth wears a look of weariness and disgust. He is unhappy, the proud master of Ocean View. He could not stay here by himself. He would be haunted continually by a pale, proud face and sweet, dark eyes with reproach in their mourntul depths. He 6till lf&s his bank business in A. He has been heard to say that he would not in trust its supervision to another, why then has he repaired and beautified this Florida home of his ancestors ? Only for it to remain here si lent, lonely; no laughter echoing through its stately halls; no appreciative eyes to look upon its beauty; no footlall upon its floors, save that of the old black janitress, who goes through the grand rooms daily to see that no dust gathers on moulding or furniture and no spider weaves his gossamer web m mimicry of the rich lace drap eries of the windows. Surely, he, always so prudent, would not lav ish so much money upon a home that was not intended to be occupied. Does he mean to quit the busy life, the various speculative schemes in which he has amassed such wealth, and come here to lead enlolcefar niente life under the shade of these orange and live oak trees, with some charming bride ? AnnaFarnam, perhaps. No, not Anna. She is as true as steel to her North ern lover and she sits in the veranda of her Flor ida home, lovlier than ever, as her little fingers work at the dainty embroideries destined lor her bridal troeseau. If she thinks of Eugene, it is as one who is in some way connected with the one cloud that rests on her Charlie’s life. As for him, his feelings and motives are hard to ana lyze. He admires Anna; he had once set his heart, with his usual stuoborn tenacity of pur pose, upon marrying her, thinking her stately loveliness, her wealth and position, made her a suitable bride for a Bertram—-the only kind his proud parents would welcome. But his heart had never belonged to Anna. His passion, deep and concealed, and hard even for his iron will to control, had always turned most to one,whose poverty and want of family name, made her no desirable wife, but whose beauty and grace blinded him to his usual prudence. From his boyhood he allowed nothing to stand in the way of his will. What he desired, he would have, it mattered not at what cost of principle in him or of suffering in another. And yet, contradictory as it seems, he still had a certain kind of love for Anna Farnam, and it was partly to show her what she had lost in rejecting him and to contrast his own mag nificence with their plainer home that he had decided on repairing and adorning Ocean View as soon as he found that Mr. Farnam had bought a place not far from his own but nearer the city. The new residence of the Farman’s to which they had moved within the last month, was with in a pleasant ride of Ocean View. It was a neat, commodious farm house, comfortable and pret ty, but without any of the architectural preten tions and the decorated grounds of Eugene's home. The Farnams had lost much of their once abundant wealth,but they were still what is call ed well-to-do, for to perseverance and energy prosperity must always come. Sam lived with them and his young hopeful ness, vigor of body and strength of w ill wonld be invaluable in the conduct of the fruit, vegetable and sugar plantation which they decided to cul tivate. Susie is the rosiest and merriest little matron in the state and Sam the happiest of hus bands. It was a strange concidence that two families so different had both decided to live in the same place. The Farmans knew nothing of Ocean View or anything of Eugene's having gone to Florida before their own removal. They had purchased the place from a friend, who wished to try the golden veins of California. Eugene heard through his agent that he wish ed him to invest and extend the land of his own place fully, ten miles, mentioned the man of the party that lived at A—negotiating for it. Then Eugene decided that he would repair his old home. He determined to remain here a while at least and was staying at Ocean View and completing bis improvements when the Farmans moved to their new place. They were very much aston ished when he called upon them and informed them he was their neighbor. He had almost ceased to be one of their visitors long before they left A. Sam had been so engaged in winding up his business, that the banks being closed did not attract bis attention; but here where they knew no one they were glad to see a famil iar face. soon as he returned from A—where he went on a flying trip, he called often on the youDg ladies, and was cordially welcomed. One afternoon, after they had been in Florida about a week, he came out in a handsome phae ton asking Carrie, Anna, and Susie to go with him and take a look at his Sea side home. They were delighted, and quickly made ready to accompany him. When they had reached the beautiful place which they saw for the first time, he refrained from telling them it was his until be had heard their praises. His vanity was gratified by their out burst of enthusiastic admiration. They walked all over the place—grounds and house, treading in Eloise footsteps; they were not so deeply imbedded—the tide of so many years had effaced them, and they told no tales on the treacherous man, walking so pleasantly by the side of the fair women. They stepped from terrace to terrace, each pro claimed that from the cedar drive bowers and rus tic grottos at the entrance of the gate to the low shelly beach, that it was a perfect picture. ‘I think it passing strange Mr. Bertram, you ever left this spot; I could not imagine one half so lovely,’ said Anna. ‘After my sister died Miss Anna, my father and mother went back to Carolina. I became the owner. I could not live here; scenes^ of trouble haunted me, so I was forced to leave.’ ‘This reminds me of a house I read of once in Itftlji * •Glad it suits your fancy Miss Susie: notwith standing all my trouble here it is a hallowed spot, and were I some king Midas no fairer home could be found than I would make this. 1 would take pride in letting it surpass anything I ever saw or read of. •You have lelt nothing to be added,’ said Car rie. •Y'es; I would intersperse marble statues here and there through the dark foliage.’ •That would be beautiful. Is not this climate the most deligbtiul in the world? This breeze is so exhiliarating Our home slopes also to the gulf, but it is so far, whilst here it only requires a few long steps to reach the beach.’ •It does. I have never been through the grounds of your father’s place—it is compara tively new to my home.' ‘Yes, yon can see from the ivy and other growths it is an old homestead, but this last touch was done by skillful hands,’ remarked Carrie, quietly tapping her foot and looking off. •Yes,' Eugene answered with some ostenta tion. T had a regular gardener from New Orleans to spend a few days on the yard. But here we are—at my favorite spot.’ ‘A perfect fairy nook ! what more lovely can be imagined? One could sit here and dream there was no such thing as care. Why Mr. Ber tram, shame on you if you are not happy.’ ‘Miss Carrie, a pretty house and money does not always give a man the happiness he most desires,’ watching Anna as he leplied. •You are hard to please, what more do you wish?’asked Susie. •Many things, Mrs. Farnam,’ curtly and with compressed lip. •I have often heard blessings brighten as they take their flight. Most assuredly if this villa, all your earthly possessions were snatched from you, you would wish many times you had them. How bright they would seem! I regret you are not satisfied,’ answered Anna thinking she would make him cease his strain. ‘Contentment is not easy, Miss Anna, when the one object of life is far above your reach.’ ‘I do not know. I am easily satisfied. Now we have to work for what we make,I still am con tent,’ said Carrie, •You are quite a little heroine.' ‘Thanks lor all but the ‘little.’ •Precious packages are always in small bun dles, said Eugene, looking at Anna. •So Sam thinks,’ chimed in Susie. ‘How grasping we all are, longing for what we cannot obtain, never contented,’ remarked An na, not noticing contentment had been drop ped. •Yes, Miss Anna, the philosopher's Btone has been denied me.’ •How often the poisonous brilliant berries tempt us to reach for them to our hurt. Per haps this may be your case, Mr. Bertram ?’ ‘Yes,Miss Anna, I have always been unfortun ate.’ •We should not despair,’ said Carrie,. •Quite true, Miss Carrie. I await my time, and hope for success. ‘I wish you success—but do look at that tree. Is it the real bay, or the Laurelas? •Something quite similar to both, Miss Car rie, but neither. It is a wild tree, the woods abound with them. The leaf and also the flow er have the shape of the bay, only a great deal larger. I have often heard what they were call ed, but have forgotten.’ I should have thought a moment. Here a week and pretend to know the trees A week in Flor ida cannot unfold all its beauty, although in tramping through the woods with father I have botanized every plant, tree and flower near our house. 1 shall have to extend my seatch far ther out and be more critical.’ ‘Then when you exhaust all near your home, pay me a visit, I would like to repay you all some of the hospitalities I enjoyed at Oakland.’ •I will accept your offer,’ answered Carrie. ‘Miss Anna, I have a good library and if any of you ladies choose will give you the key, so you can have free access to the books.’ ‘Thank you, but I am quite busy just at pres ent. and will have little time for reading.’ A servant came in at this moment with a large basket of apples and pears—ripe and juicy. ‘Here are some of my income; at this time of the year they are delicious. I get tired of or anges and bananas—have them in such quan tities,’said Eugene.’ While they enjoyed the fruit, Eugene said: ‘I will have some good pictures to show you soon. I sent by a friend of mine who was go ing to New York an order for a few fine paint ings— a nd that reminds me, he was speaking of you ladies the evening before he left; met you on the street. I halt way promised to bring j him out when he returned.’ Anna glanced at Carrie. The look said: ‘He evidently does not know that we are soon to be married. Is it right to encourage him to come?' •Look at that man,’ cried Carrie, glad to change the subject. ‘He is riding up in great haste.’ ‘He has stopped,’ said Anna. ‘Excuse me. I will see what he wants,' Ber tram said, hurrying down followed by his guests who half feared some message of bad news from their own home. Eugene, walking ahead took the note that a negro boy handed him, glanced over it and told the man he would come. No one asked him anything of the contents but after he had driven his visitors who left im mediately a short distance, he remarked to Anna who was sitting near him that a friend of his was dying and wished to see him. ‘Oh, why did you not go at once and let us find another driver, or I could manage the reins myself. I trust you will reach your friend in time,’ said Anna much concerned. They stopped at the gate, the ladies sprang out without any hesitation, and bowing to them Eugene wheeled the horses round and drove rapidly away. He was too late. The words he wished to say to Eugene remained unspoken for ever. When Eugene reached his bedside he was too far gone. He had been concerned with Eugene in keep ing secret his connection with Eloise. He was the one who bad readdressed her letters so they would reach P He knew the days of their arrival and got them from the well paid mail carrier. Eugene Bertram could not have hid den all trace of of Eloise had he not received as sistance. Now this man was silent. One more witness against him on earth gone. Eugene asked what were his dying words, and was re lieved to find they were not such as would com promise him. CHAPTER XXV. Where meantime was Eloise—Eloise who had returned to her native land as a wounded bird comes back to her nest. She had landed in New York in the gray twilight of a Maroh day, with none to meet and welcome her, no home to go to, and but little money in her purse. She had taken a cab and been driven to a ho tel, where she ordered tea sent to her in her room, and sat afterwards looking over the daily papers. She found in them the advertisement of Clives & Ennis, and knew that her brother was living. Then came a struggle in her breast. Should she go to him ? She felt almost sure he would forgive and welcome her. She no longer felt her promise to Bertram a binding one, since he had broken his own word and acted with such duplicity. Why, then, did she not seek her brother and tell him all? Complex were the motives that held her back. Pride and shame were among them. She felt a strange repug nance in going to him now, after ail these years, and returning to her old home, meeting her old friends and standing the tire of their questions and inquisitive eyes. ‘If I had not lost my voice,’ ghe thought ‘If I had reached the aim of my ambition and,had fame and wealth in pros pect I would not shrink so from revealing my self. But to come back dependent, with lines of soryow and care on my face, broken in spirit, with a load of bitter memories and of self-re proach, to come back when I am thought to be long since dead or dropped out of sight forever. I have not heart for this. Rebuke and suspi cion, a cold reception, a want of sympathy even, would be more than I could bear. I have suf fered too much—my heart is too sore to risk an other blow. Better to remain dead to them all until I can prove that I have not been so much at fault, that though I have erred I have not sin ned. This I must do for myself. I feel assured Eugene Bertram will oppose my revealing the secret he so long forced me to keep, holding over me the solemn promise I was weak enough to be cajoled and entreated into making. Oh, I wonder if he is still alive. There have been so many, many changes. I must see him; he must tell me of my Oh, how remiss in my duty I have been ! Why did I go to Italy? my duty was here. And yet, what could I do ? My will was crushed by his;he would not lift the burden cf silence from me and I could not bear to live here, so near my brother and friends and yet separated from them by a wall of silence and mystery. And then I hoped by going to Italy to perfect my voice, and to prepare the way to be independent and to return Bertram the mon ey I have had of him. I have been sorely dis appointed: 1 have had my expectations dashed to the ground; misery and blighted hopes are my portion. I have been sorely punished for the mistake of my early girlhood. But I will not be weak enough to despair; I will still live and struggle. To-morrow I will telegraph to Eugene. I must know about the matter that lies near my heart—that stirs there under this crust of care. Oh, my clouded, darkened life ! Will the dawn ever come to this long night of misfortune!’ So mused Eloise, leaning from the window of her small,isolated upper room and watching the lights of the city flashing through the gloom. The next morning she dressed herself for the street, doubled^ Let thick veil over her face threw a loose wrap around her to conceal her form, and went out into the bright sunshine, the buzz and movement of the city. She took her way to hei place of business. After hesitating and Struggling with contradictory emotions she went in, hoping to see once more the face that was so dear and familliar. She was gratified. While she stood, purchasing some article she had called for, Charles Ennis came forward and spoke to the clerk. He glanced at her and slightly inclined his head in ac knowledgement of her presence. She trembled behind her thick veil; she felt a dizziness come over her, a wild longing to call his name,and cry out that his sister stood befi re him, but she controlled herself, though a pang struck to her heart as she saw the traces that care and sad ness had left in his* fine eyes and on his hand some brow. She hurried away and went to the nearest tel egraph office and there sent this message across the wires to A: ‘I have returned from Italy; I am here in New York. I wish to see you at once.’ She wailed for an answer. None came and she telegraphed to the operator in A: ‘Is Eugene Bertram still living in A ?’ Again she waited and received the answer: ‘He is not here; he removed to Florida, near Pensaoola.’ She went back to her room and sat down in deep reflection. What should she do? She had but little more than money enough to take her to Pensacola and she determined to go there and to find Bertram. For two reasons she must see him. He must not only permit her to tell the secret, he must tell it himself, stand by her in making it public. And then he alone could give her information about the trust she had left in his hands. She opened one of her trunks and •took from it some paintings of her own and some beautiful mosaics, tits of antique carving and specimens of rare stones that she had collected in her travels. These she determined to sell. She intended to take them to a store up town, but first she put them on exhibition at the hotel, and to her surprise, she found a purchaser that very day—a young Southerner, apparently with plenty of money. It was Guy Laurence, and he bought them for Bertram, though of course El oise had no knowledge of this, but the purchase led to some conversation with Guy, and she found that he was going to Pensacola and told him that she too intended soon to leave for that city. •Then, we may go in company, may we not?’ he asked eagerly, for her lovely face and the picturesque grace of her whole appearance ex cited his admiring interest. She gave an evasive answer, but was really willing to accept his pro tection on her anticipated trip, and the next day saw them both ensconced in the same railway carriage of the Southern bound train, with her trunks and other baggage carefully seen to by her attentive escort. Not until they had left New York far behind did she know that Lau rence was the friend of Eugene Bertram and liv- | ed near him at Ocean View. She asked questions about him; was he married ? was he living quite alone? no relative, not even a child, to share his solitary home? In turn Guy asked if Ber tram was an old friend, and she answered while her cheeks flushed and burned: captivated by the lovely, pensive face of this qui et lady in mourning robes. He scarcely left her side during the long journey and enlivened its tedium by his pleasant talk. He had an in imitable fund of anecdotes and incidents at his command, and he also knew when to be silent and how to be quietly sympathetic in Eloise’s admiration of the glimpses of picturesque or gloomy and impressive scenery through which they passed. They reached Pensacola and Laurence saw El oise safely established in comfortable rooms at the hotel. He learned from the landlord that Bertram was in town. He had put up his horses at the stable here and gone out on some business; would probably be back to dinner. ‘Twill Bee him and tell him of your arrival,' said Guy. ‘Nc; wait please till he returns to the hotel and then give him a note which I will write. Do not speak to him of my being here until he has read the note. He does not know of my having returned from Italy. It will be a surprise. ‘A charming one, I am sure,’ Guy answered promptly. He almost changed his mind when a few minutes afterward he handed the note that Eloise gave him to his friend, and saw the sudden pallor that overspread his countenance when he reoognized the familiar hand and glanced over the contents. It was some moments before he recovered himself. Then he said, ‘This takes me by sur prise. My cousin’s return is an unlooked for pleasure; I will see her directly.’ He went to the bar-room and drank a glass of brandy to strengthen his nerves. He felt a curi ous mixture of feelings in view of the approach ing interview. He would look upon the woman he had wronged, and who probably hated him as he had given her cause to do -the woman whom he loved with more passion than he had ever felt for any one, but whom his narrow, shallow soul thought not altogether fit to be his wife—not of sufficient social distinction to en title her to the aristocra ic name of Bertram. He had not sufficient intellect or independence of mind to disoern and acknowledge her real su periority, and while he instinctively felt she was more fascinating than Anna Farman, he would have preferred Anna as his acknowledged wife. And yet he felt a thrill of pleasure as he thought of meeting her again, and he said to himself: ‘I have her in my power; my secret is safe— almost. Even if she tells it she will not be be lieved, and she will find it hard to prove.’ TO BE COKTINTED. Overtasking tlie Energies. It is not advisable for any of us to overtask onr ener gies, corporeal or mental, but in the eater pursuit oi wealth or fame or knowledge, how many transgress this salutary rule. It must be a ma'ter of great importance to all who do so to know how they can regain the v gor soiecklessly expended. The remedy is neither costly or difficult to obtain. Uostetter's Stomach Bitters is procurable In every city, town and settlement in Amer ica, and it compensates for a drain of booily or mental energy more effectually than any invigorant ever pre scribed or advertised. Laboring men, athletes, students, journalists, lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all bear tes timony to its woudrously renovating powers. It in creases the capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and coun teracts the iujtirious effects upon the system of expo sure, sedentary habits, unhea'tby or wearying avocations, or an insalubrious climate, and fa a prime alterative, di uretic ana depurent. 154-lm Whenever and Wherever Diseases of a choleraic type prevail, or there is cause to apprehend a visit from them, the system should be toned, regulated and reinforced by a course oj Uostetter's Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular habit of body are the best safeguards against such maladies, and both are secured by this inestimable tonic and alterative. The Bitters are also extremely serviceable in remedying such dis orders. If promptly taken iu bilious colic, diarrhoea and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frus trated. In diarrhera cases.it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this medicine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn, biliousness, nausea, headache and other symptoms of disturbance in the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily re lieved by this excellent remedy. As a family medi. cine it is invaluable, since it promptly aud com pletely remedies those ailments which are of most frequent occurrence. 159-lin juusv in, atrr irv uuueu. b/iJKsobs™*- WSSS0SS. •B1L1003KE86, a ADYSPEPSbL.w CLEARS THE FOR DISEASES.. .LIVER STOMACH BOWELS £*3 ^ ^ For Pamphlets address Dr. Sanford, New York.
