CHAPTER IX.
Hr. Frederit B VsDderblick was a young
Hew Yorker to the manner born, the son of a
wealthy man who bad made his money in
banking and intended his son to follow the
same profession. As a preliminary step, how
iver, he sent him to Colombia and then to Eu
rope, to make “a thorooeh gentleman" of him
and enlarge his mind. The boy was of a ro-
eiable, regular and enterprising disposition;
full of animal spirits, quick to comprebeud
the scape and details of a business matter, but
somewhat lacking in prudence and sober
lodgment. He matured rapidly, as such men
so placed are apt to do, yet without losing his
youthful ardor. At twenty five be was a bov
in conyersatijn and impulses, with the good-
natured scepticism and facility t f a man of the
world of fifty. He looked well, talks d well,
dressed well and lived rather loo well, consid
ers g that bis businees enga entente seldom
allowed him to make up in the morning the
sleep which bis social engagements obliged
him to lose overnight. Bu>. bis vigorous con
stitution had hitherto annulled the iil effects
of thU haid treatment; his eyes were brith'.
and bis Chet ks had c ilor; and af'er ail, if his
life ended fifteen jears sooner than it ought to
have done, he would have lived fifteen jears
more actively while he was about it. He now
occupied, nominally, the post of a clerk in the
bank of which bis father was president; but it
was undeistood that, when he had mastered
lb- routine, le was to be taken into pariner-
sbip, and, probably, succeed his father in the
supreme control. ....
Mr. Vsnderblick, junior, took his friend into
the directors parlor and introduced him to
VanderbUck, senior, with all the honor?—as a
partu u'ar friend and ebum of bis while abroad,
as a distinguished nobleman of the Ruesian
Empire and as a seven-iold milionare—all ol
these titles 8"d esteem belt g enumerated so
rapidly that Fedovsky had no opportuui'y to
modify >beui, though he perceived, not with
out a pang of conscience, that the last of the
three had an especially ingratiating e Sect upon
the old gentlemen, who promptly iavi'ed the
count to dine with him on the following Sun
day evening. This tinder having been accept
ed, Mr. Fiederick observed that he wanted to
show his friend round a liitle and desired leave
of absence for that purpose It was immedi
ately and graciously accorded, and at pariing
the venerable president arose to shake his
visitor oy the hand and to accompany him to
the door, thereby causing the latter to feel
more like a rascally adventurer than ever.
The two now iep tired to the club, where
Vanderblick inscrined the count’s name in the
book, and caused him to be presented with a
visitors' two-weers’ ticket. Then they went
min the smoking room, where a few of the old
habitues were ensconced in their easy chairs,
aDd Vanderblick ordered a bottle of cham
pagne and cigars, and introduced the count to
those present iL the same terms as before, and
the party drew their chairs together and be
gan to converse after the manner of the Amer
ican gentlemen of the olubable sott.
Finding himself so hospitably treated, Fe-
dovsky could not ant reciprocate, and it was
evident that he made a verv favorable impres
sion on his companions. He talked well, and
found that he had a great deal to say that was
new and interesting to an American audience,
They went particularly concerned to hear
about his E iglish experiences, and made in
quiries regarding various persouages of dis
tinction belonging to that nation. Morecham
pagDe was ordered, more men dropped in, and
ever and anon one or other of them would be
invited to join the circle. The conversation
became general and voluble, though Fedovsky
always remained the central figure. His loss
of fortune was so recent, that he still had all
the reminiscences and feelings of a man of
millions, and ofteD, in the genial glow of talk
be wouid forget for a time that he was now
virtually a pauper. As often as he recollected
tho lameritable fact, a shadow would pass over
his face, and he would become silent and
thoughtful. How wonld all this end?
At all events it went on very sgreeably.
Everybody wanted to have a hand in the
count’s entertainment, and in the course of a
few hours be had received invitations enough
to keep him busy for a fortnight. These in
vitations, again, wonld be certain to lead to
others. In one way they would, of course
diminish his expenses. But, on the other
baud, it was impossible for a gentleman to as-
aocia e on equal terms with gentlemen without
spending money as they spent it. For exam
ple, Fedovsky fe’.t it incumbeitt upon him to
order a bottle of champagne. Nobody present
needed champagne, and Fedovsky wonld rath
er have kept the four dollars; but these consid
erations were nothing to the purpose. It was
such incidental outlays—the taxes of social
etiquette—that are inevitable and constitute a
serious drain upon the purses of those whose
means a*e limited. But there was no way of
escaping them, except to announce h ; s true
financial situation; and, a though anything un
derhand was very distasteful to him, there
nevert beiese, seemed to be no good reason
why he should, at this stage, take these gen
tlemen into his confidence. He was doiDg
them no harm; he was not tak ng more than he
was ready to give. In every personal respcc
ke was ail that they took him to be. and so
k>Dg as he paid his shot and borrowed no
money, what had he to reproach himself with?
It might be urged, to be sure, tha. if his new
friends had been aware of his pecuniary con
dition they would not have invited him to dine
and sleep at their bouses, nor even to become
a guest of their club; they wonld shun him as
an adventurer—that is, as a person aiming to
profit himself at their expense. But did he
jin end to profit himself at their expense?
Weil, not in any way that would involve any
loss to them. All he wanted was to maintain
himself for a while in that social level where
the best opportunities for advancement were
to be met with. There was nothing dishonest
in that. And yet he could not satisfy himself
that he was not guilty of maintaining, or ac
quiescing in, false appearance, and he deter
mined to do something toward putting himself
right as soon as possible.
It was nearly five o'clock and a good many
glasses of champagne had been drunk by every
one present, when Vanderblick reminded the
count that he was to dine with him and others
at Delmonico's, and they had better be think
ing of dressing. Accordingly, they ar. se and
bade adieu to the others, and sallied forth into
the street, which was reddentd but not warmed
by the beams of the settings sun. jt wa s oDly
a few blocks to the hotel, and they walked
thither arm-in-arm.
“L tt me come in and have a look at your
rooms,” said Vandetb'icks. “I know the
clerk here—he's a good fellow—and if he
hasn’t rot you fixed right, I’ll give him the tip
and he’ll see that you’re suited.”
Fedovsky knew not bow to object to this
f olite offer, and Vanderblick was as good as
is word. He introdu:ed the count to the
clerk in the usu U style, rather exaggerating
bis aristocratic and pecuniary accommodatio is
than otherwise, at the rate of, say one hundred
thousand dollars to each glass of champagne
he had diunk, asked the situation of his rooms,
and on learning that it was pre ty far away in
the upper regions, insisted upon his beiDg
transposed to the secord floor, and having a
suite of parlor, bedroom and drawing room.
This beirg arranged, and orders having been
given to have the tranks removed to their new
quarters, Mr. Vanderblick finished np his ben
efactions by saying jocoselv:
‘•Now you treat hm white, boss, and if he
goes back on you, you can come down on me!”
and so withdrew, laughing, with the under
standing that they were to meet at Delmon-
ioo’s in an hour’s time.
“Well, sir,’’ said Tom, as he bustled about,
opening the trunks and getting out his master’s
evening clothes, “this is something like, ain’t
it? I toid you how it would be. We’re all
right now, and it won’t be long before you’re
as good as you ever was.”
“At the rate we are going now,’ replied the
count, * our suspense will soon be at an end,
at all events. I tell you plainly, Tom, that we
are goii g the wrong Way to work. We had
much better let our true position be known at
once, ins'-ead of waiting until it is found out,
This money of yours is beiDg thrown away,
with nothing to show for it. These rooms
alone are em ugh to ruin ua; and yet, unless I
tell them that I can’t afford it, I cannot refuse
to ccmpv them. I want to make a clean
breast of it.”
"Don’t do it, sir,” replied Tom. earnestly;
"don’t do it. It’ll all come out straight, bless
you. Yoc’ve got those swells to back y. u up,
and you can live here a year without nob >dy
so much aa asking to see the color of your
money.”
“It won’t do, Tom,” returned the other,
shaking bis bead. “I g ve yon fair warnii g
that I won’t ran in debt, whatever happens.
I shall pay as I go, and when the money comes
to an eno I shall go for good.”
"Very well, sir; bat the money won’t come
to an end—yon may take my word for it
Things are in jmt the shape I wanted them
and you'll find out I'm right.”
Conversations similar to this frequently oc
curred between the c >unt and his valet, and
always with the same result.
At half past six F dovsky was at Delmon
ico’s and found Vanderblick awaiting him.
They were given a private room and sat down
to dinner with four others, some of whom '-be
count had already met in Europe. When the
c ff *6 and cigars were served the company
gn uaed themselves together sociably and
chatted at their ease.
“I i uppise you will do like the rest of our
distinguished visitors, couni,” said a middle
aged gentleman known *s Judge Farren. "You
will go East, West, N irth and South, see
even hing and wiite a book about it.”
‘ Not at all, ’ replied Fedovsky. "I have
serious thoughts of settling down here in New
York and taking out naturaliziti in papers.”
“Oh, y u il get out of that i lea after awhile
when you’ve seen more of us,” rt joined a Mr.
Weathei by Brooks, who o»ned a yacht and
had been educated at Oxford. “Democracy
seems all right as a novelty, but a ltllow finds
it a bore in the end.”
“Another thing,” said Dr. Warren Beale, a
gentleman of thirty, who had already made -
fortune in the treatment of diseases by electri
cal process, “an Amer ctn is sttppostd to have
something to do. Of course B *ooks is an ex
ception; hut he’s an Anglomaniac, and does’t
count. But an adopted citizen, at all events,
is expected to occupy himself at something
What do you mean to take up?”
“I sh uld like to learn how to make a liviDg
in any respectable way,” said Fedovsky.
A’ this there was a general laugh.
“You Russian nabobs want the earth," re
marked Colonel Jack Oakley, who, wi h his
close cropped head, red mustache and portly
stomach, locked the personification of woild y
well being. ’You cau’t maee a living in this
joun'ry. There isn’t money enough in it to
pay the bill.”
“I spoke quite seriously,” said Fedovsky
quietly.
"And you spoke good sense, too," remarked
Vanderb ick, coming to the support of his
guest. ‘ You've the correct American idea.
Because a man has g it a few millions, more
or lees, la'd by f. r a wet day, it doesn’t follow
that be shouldn’t Jearn bow to gain a few thou
sands by bis own work. Tba.’s what my gov
ernor al ways told me, and he was right. I
only wish theie were more fellows like you.
I’d like to have a few of your sort in our
office ”
‘ I am open to an engagement," replied the
count, “and I am willing to begin on a verv
moderate salary. As to tbe millions you talk
about, I must say, so far as I am concerned,
you are quite oil the trick. I have very little,
and my desire to make money is practical, not
theoretic.”
This was plain speaking, bat it was not the
right sort ot plainness. Nobody believed it
Some of them knew for a certainty that he had
been very rich a few months before, and they
never imagined that he could have lost all his
possessions in tbe interval. If Fedovsky had
entered into explanations on this point, tbe
t ffect would have been d fferent But he had
in some measure relieved his conscience, and
hoped that it might lead the way, without
further revelations, to what he wanted.
“Never mind;about the millions, my dear
fellow,” said Vanderblick, with a laugh. “R’s
none of our business how poor or rich you
may be, so ling as yon are tha good fellow
that you will be always. For my part, if you
were to prove to me that you hadn’t money
enough in the world to settle your hotel bill,
I’d settle it myself, and install you in the guist
chamber at our house. But, seriously, that’s
a capital notion of yours—to find out by expe
rience what business is like; and if you are
willing, on sober n flection, to follow it ont, it
would be a good plan to mention it to my gov-
erner at dinner to-morrow.”
“I have taken more champagne than is good
for me,” returned Fedovsky, “but I'm still so
ber enongh to assure you that I mean what I
say. I want to begin at the bottom and work
up, and to be treated just the same as any
other clerk in the office. But I rather fancy
that your father may have other views.”
"Most eccentric fellows these Russians are,
said Colonel Oakley to Judge Farren, in an
undertone. “What do you suppose his game
is?’
"Oh, seme fad of his,” the judge replied
“He -as always queer. But I knew him ia
Lmdon, and he had twenty million.”
“A fellow can afford to have fads on that
capital," said the colonel with a sieh.
would be a bank clerk myself on the same
terms."
CHAPTER X.
The dinner at Mr. Vandsrclick’s house the
next evening was a family affair, and there
fore the more a compliment to Fedovsky, who
was thus invited, as it were, to consider him
self a member of the family circle. The circle
cinsisted ot Mr. and Mrs. Vanderblick, Fred,
and tbe daughter of the bouse, whoe name
was Sallia. 'Jhis young lady was twenty years
of age, and a very favorable specimen of ihe
New York girl. She was of a delicate, high
bred, spirited aspect, and had evidently bad
tbe advantage of tbe best social and education
al training that the resources of modern Amer
ican institutions can bestow. She bad brown
hair and a pure white skin; her eyes were large
and somewhat imperious in expression, aud
her other features, though not strictly regular,
were refined, and made up a very beautiful
countenance. Her figure was well proportion
ed aud had a certain maidenly dignity in its
bearing that distinguished her from tbe aver
age young lady of society. She was self-pos
sessed and not talkative, though when she did
say anything it evinced a good mind well bal
anced.
She was on a higher ineffectual and moral
plane than the rest of tho family ; there were,
indeed, still some traces of rusticity in the old
people, who had not, in their youth, had the
advantage of the training and surroundings
that they were able to give their children.
Mrs. Vanderblick was pious and rather simple;
the old gentleman was a man of force and abil
ity, bat with the hastiness and bruequeness
that often belong to men who have had their
own way to make. All of them, young and
old, were hospitably disposed toward their dis
tinguished foreign guest.
Fedovsky, on his side, was immediately in
terested iu Sallie. He had seen Ametican
girls in Europe, but thev had not happened to
be of the best class. They were audacious,
voluble, and conspicuous rather than indepen
dent, seli-respecting and intelligent. At table
he sat beside the young lady and addressed to
her most of his remarks that were not merely
conventional and polite. Her questions were
penetrating and stimulating, and her replies
to his own inquiries were straightforward and
satisfactory. They seemed to draw out what
was best in each other.
"Do you like a democracy better than a des
potism?” she asked.
"Who dots not, except the despots?” re
turned he.
“But you must have a reason. What ia it?”
"Every man should have a hand in the mak
ing and administration of the laws by which he
is governed," said the count.
"They do not have it here. The corstitntlon
says they may, bat they do not. Oat of every
ten men one will have more authority and abil
ity than the rest, and among those ten one is
stronger than the others, and so on. The sub
ordinates vole as the leaders tell them; the
leaders act for their own interests; so our laws
are made. A few people realiy do it ali, and
though they are generally clever, - they are not
generally good. They want money and power,
and they get them at the people’s expense. Is
not tb&t something like what happens under a
despotism? And the despotism has one ad
vantage—that it does not pretetd what it is not,
as onr democracy does.”
•‘Bat you nil- not deny that you have a free
pre-«, which niuit represent the pqnplfe be
cause jt deoet di op them lor its tx steben.”
"Jf i o bel(fcje?khat"tie papers siy of one
another, they are *ll fa!sV“por: upt and venal.
Uur people ara careless and easy, and put up
wt h the best they can get I don’t think we
have much dignity, or conscience, or faith in
d sintmst d goodnes.-; ai d I thiuk the papjrs
encourage us to have le?s sti.l ”
"But you Bureiy doii’c mean, Miss Vander
blick. that you prefer a de-popem to a democ
racy!” Fedovsky exclaimed in surp ise.
“My preterence can make no difference.
One mutt be more nearly right than the other.
1 should only like to know which belongs most
to human nature, for that is the one that must
winintbetnd. Men will never be equal in in
tellcct and energy, and the most intellectual
aud energetic men must rule the others, i hey
cau’t help doiDg it, and the others can’t help
obeying them.”
’ But take a practical instance. Tbe Ameri
cans are the most enlightened people in the
world, and the Russians are mostly barba
rians.”
‘ Enlightenment is not necessati’y goodness
aDy more than light is necessarily neat ”
"But we must become enlightened; and is
goodness anything mute than enlighteuid sel
fishness?”
"1 think it is something entirely different.”
“Then you think goodness is more important
than enlightenment? ’
“Yes," said she; “I think that no eriiihter-
ment that does not come through goodness is
worth having or will last.”
"Are you two talking transcontinental poli
tics?” inquired Fred at this point? ‘ You
rnusn’t aind her, Fedovsky. She is an an
archist and crank of the worst type, and will
stop at nothing.”
Sallie smiled quietly at her bro her and said
nothing. Fedov.ky was too sincerely inter
exied to make any conventional protest. Mrs.
Vai derbiick observed that tea would beseived
iu ihe drawing-room, and atose and departed,
Sallie following her Tbe gentlemen, af er
they had left, eat down again and took out
their cigars.
“By the way, father,” said Fred, here’s the
count wants to make a living. Can you help
him?”
‘ Fred tells me that you think of b-c r m ; ng
ait American citizen,” said the old gentltmau
“Is thai real y your purpose, sit?"
“1 c une hete meaning tomikeitmy coun-
try,” answered the count, “i shall never go
back to Russia; aud no other place attracts
mi”
"And you wish to enter into the life and
ommerce of New York? Why, all I can say
is, you are doingateiy good thing. I'm a
b inker, and of course I believe in bai king. It
you want to invest your money in that busi
ness, you will tiad it as pr.,fLab!e as any that
is equally sefa.”
“H isn’t ot investments that I was thinking.
I have little or nothing to invest. I would like
to learn the banking business, beginning in
tbe ordinary way aud going on step by step
As I said to your son yes erday, I literally want
to make my own living.”
“The long and shon of it i«, father, that the
count is a crank,” put in Fred, "and be is
bound to ride his bobny in his own way. Now,
cau we give him a lif.?”
“Weil »s to that, 1 dare say we might fi d
or make a place for him,” replied Mn Van. er
b. ick, with a slow smile. "We had thought of
adding a new department to our business, by
aud by, and that might give sn opening. II >w
ever there need be no burry ab ut it, I sup
pose. You will want to get used to our Ameri-
c. uwaysa little—make the acquaintance of
some of the men on the Exchange, and so on
Aud I presume you will be pretty hard worked
socially for some weeks or months to come
By tie time you are ready for us I dare siy
we shall be ready for you. And you may pier-
haps uot ret ret having been given time to t-ike
a st cond thought on the matter, sir. l’eopl-
ebauge their minds sometimes, you know.”
Fedovsky thanked It s host and said no
more on the subject. The situation was quite
as promising as could have been expected, and
to push it too rapitl/ might result in losing
the opportunity altogether. For the rest, he
was quite willing to adjourn to 'he drawing
room and have some talk with Sallie. She
was the only woman, save one, that he had
ever met in whom he felt a rational and^ennine
interest. There was no particular reason for
it, only there was something in her that was
deeply congenial to him, and that be seemed
to have been seeking for a long while. The
sensation was like what a lott traveler feels,
who, just as he is making up bis m : nd that
all is over with him, sees a familiar ot jict that
assures him he is at tbe tbreBhold of bis own
borne., It gave him a happiness quite nnres,
sonable under the ciicuinstances, for the idea
of marrying never entered his bead; and Sallie
was, most likely, not in the least aware that
there was anything out of the common in the
matter. She was a nice girl—that was all, and
he was glad to know her.
Ou rejoining the ladies, Fedovsky fennd that
two or three other gentli m°n had dropped in,
and one of them had taken h : s seat by Sallie,
with tbe apparent pnrpxtse of holding it against
allcomers. Meanwhile the count himself was
seized upon by Mrs. Vanderblick, who, it
seems bad taken a great fancy to him, in her
own extremely quiet way, and had a number
of naive questions to auk bim about, tbe pe
culiarities of domestic life among the Russians,
and how the ladies occupied themselves, and
what sort of ministers of the gospel they had
there. Tbe young man replied to her cariosity
as best he might, though he felt that he was
much more likely to astonish and scat dalize
her than to gratify her. Nothing els* of im-
po tance < ccurred during the evening. But
i he stranger carried away a pleasant impres
sion of tbe American tamtly—the first that he
bad ever entered; aud the Rutile and touch of
the hand that Sillie gave him at parting sent
him back to bis hotel with alight heart; though
regarded f'om a merely ratonal point of view,
be had no particular cause for self congratula
tion.

Spring with i's bright, sunny days ha* passed
away, and summer has dawDed upon u«. It is
now August The hills and vales of England
wear their softest, and most charming garb,
and Hastings Castle, the summer residence of
the Percy family, looks more than regal in its
magnificent surroundings. The old grey tow
ers seem brighter in the sunlight; the stony
battle neats look less grim and warlike. The
meadows have acquired that rich golden hue
that render them so attractive. Here and
there an evergreen shrub brightens the scene
which contrasts beautifully with the other sur
roundings, gleaming like em- raids, embedded
in tbe richest gold. The garden walks are
edged with beauttfu 1 , btilliant flawers; fuchias,
daisies, pansies, and ferns cLartn the eye. Tbe
artificial water fall looksc ear and transparent,
and with tbe sun’s rays r< fleeting upon it
makes millions of little rainbows. Afar to the
right is the broad ocean, sometimes calm and
smooth as a summer take, and then angry and
agitated, and foaming mountains high. To
night the billows sre breaking and dashing
against the toct-s. and murmuring a sad requi
em, which contrasts greatly wkh the merri
ment and joy within the castle.

Si ated in an easy chair is Clarence Percy,
the owner of this tin e honored castle. Iu one
hand be holds a large volume, and on the oth
er his brow reciine-t. A wealth of silvery hair
crowns a head i f mrrt than intellectual pro-
porti >i.s He closes tbe book and addresses
Heim, bis beauti ut daughter—queen of bis
household, and the idol of his hi art.
‘•Well, Hel u, have you come to a decision
yet? St Leon was here this morning, and
urges his suit very earnestly. It is time, now,
for you to decide one way or another.”
* Fatuer, do you with to part with your
Helen? Surely you lo7e me more tenderly
Have I not always shown tbe utmost devotion
towards you si .ee that summer morning long,
long years ago, when you laid my mother to
rest among the flowers of sunny Italy? Have
£ not been your solace and your joy—in a word,
-onr all? Every joy of yours was mine, and
everv sorrow caused me ii tense pain ”
"Yes, my dariing, you have always been a
dutiful aud affectionate child. You are the
ruardian angtl that has cheered my weary
footsteps and soothed my aching heRrr. through
n any lonely years. Ah, yes, I remember that
sad day. I. was the fi st and greatest sorrow
of your young lif-. Your mother took your
JilUe hand aud placed it in mine and then
breathed her last But let us consider tbe
othtr matter. The quesli >n cat be solved in a
few words. D > you love the matt wtll enough
to becoL-e his wife?"
"I regard him wiih feelings of great es’epm,
and si-e evf rv trait of beauty that acorns his
character. Not an impulse but one of gener-
osi v prompts him to any setion "
“My child St Leon is a gentleman of good
intelli-ctual capacity, po-sesses a handsome for
tune, is of disiiugu'sbtd family, and above all,
a Christian gen'lemau. For the Woole world’
my dear, I would not have you to tisk your
fate with a man whose heart is not imtued with
tbe fear and love of God.”
Clarence Percy was devoted to HeleD, his
only child, and she was doubly dear to him
siDce her mother's death.
Inside tbe castle all is bustle and excitement.
A great dinner will be given on tbe morrow,
and all tbe old servants have different stories
abont the matter. Some say a grand stranger
is coming, a rich foreigner, the Lady Helen’s
betrothed. At last the large gates opeu and
St. Leon’s magnificent rqnff age enters. It is
drawn up btf re the principal entrance, and
with the assistance of his footman he alights
and is ready to see my "lord of the castle" and
his lovely daughter. St. Leon is rejoiced to
meet his old rfifcfid once more.' fle thinks
Helen the most beautiful creatnre be has ever
seen. He is a man of keen observation and
high intellectual powers. He is not a mere
dup« that every pretty face wiil fascinate.
"My dear Victor,” sa d Mr. Percy, “how
glad we are to greet yeu 1 H-l-n, my dear, let
me present you to our old friend, Monsieur
Victor St Leou.”
"Accept my thanks. Monsieur, for the love
ly immortelles; they were very appropriate,
and indeed so much appreciated. Come, re
fresh yourself, you must be very tired after
your long journey ”
"Many thanks, my Lady Rtlen; one smile
from you will smp'y reply me for Ufe hun
dreds of miles 1 nave traveled.”
“We will certainly give you something more
substantial than smiles. After tea, when yon
desire you can fi id me in the drawing room.”
Wnile tbe two gentlemen were engaged
smoking their cigars and notirg the common
topic* of the day. we will follow Helen to the
drawing room. She is gazing in deep thought
before a portrait. The face is fair to look
upon, and tbe delicately round? d figure is one
ot Nature’s most faultless. It ia young, per
haps not more than twenty years <f age. A
bridal robe of pure white satin, aronnd tbe
throat a ruff ol costly lace. The bridal v< il of
creamv lace—a f >r une in itseP—is he'd
place by a diamond crescent. The braids of
golden brown hair are coiled around a bead
of classic mould. Tbe face is so natural, the
inanimate canvas seems almost empowered
with tbe faculty of speech. Helen stood loDg
and earms ly gazing before this beautiful vis
ion. Tears (all from the soft, tweet eyes, her
lips move as sbe brea hes a prayer She is
intenupted by tbe tnlrance of St. Leon, he
tiiesto retrace his footsteps, no. wisbiRgto
intrude on htr sorrow, but it is too late; he
summons courage and speaks:
“1 hope I am not intruding, my gentle
Helen?”
* Ob, no, Monsieur, you are very welcome;
bo seated. I often come hem to commune
with thought ai d with rnyse f;—the p'ace is
sacr d to m^, it seems almost like a sane uary.
And that picture you see is my mother. She
went to Heaven snaDy, many years ago, ye;
this very night is the anniversary of her
death. ’
A pause ensued, and Helen unclasped a lit
tle casket and ui folded wbat seemed to be a
jeweled necklace, but on closer observation
was a ruby rotary.
"How beautiful,” said St. Lon, “and bow
costly.”
"Yes, Monsieur, it is of rare va'ue to me; it
is, in fact, the only precious jewel I pcsstes.
it has bten a talisman to me through many
weary years. What a consolation I the pay
ers I repeat on this lit'le ohaplet ascend btfore
the throne of God, and I cau almost see the
holy Virgin pleadiDg for me at the shrine of
the Most High. And my owd, lost, angel
mother smiles upon me, and wafts a b’essing
towards her child And to night, when the stars
are loosing down so peacefully in the slumber
ing earth, and tbe gentle summer night wind
comes laden with tho perfu ne of a thousand
flowers, and all nature seems so pure and beau
tiful.
"I come here before this picture to pray, O,
Monsieur,” and her animation and excitement
becam j so great that the eye gleamed aud the
cheek became intensely flushed, and her mag
nificent figure was more than dignified.
“M> mother was one of those pure and noble
characters we sometimes find in this cold and
selfish world who remain for awhile merely to
cast sunshine and happiness around, and let
poor fallen human nature see the higher and
nobler aims ot life. My mother was one of
those Christians, and when she died, although
I was only a nitre child, it seemed as if a ter-
rihle blight bad fallen upon mt; the life and
light and beauty of every thing around me was
darkened, withered and dead. And that
lovely August morning, long ago, when they
buried her in the beautiful Acropolis for the
dead, and the skies of sunny Italy smiled so
warm and lovingly upon her. I remember
when I returned to the villa I thought she was
only sleeping, and wonld soon come to me
again, bu. I learned the stern, bitter reality,
that she was sleeping the long, last sleep of
death. It you should ever journey there, you
will visit her grave. A magnificent mauso
leum lifts its grand proportions, surmounted
by a superb Italian marble statue. It is Faith
gra*p : ng the cross with one baud and the
other pointing heavenward.”
For some moments St. Leon was motionless;
the power of speech seemed to forsake him.
He had heard what he never knew, and he
found the woman whom he had pi aurtd in his
own imagination, the pure sld urn beautiful.
At last Le spoke:
"My dear lady, what do ycu suppose has
brought me to your fatoer’s castle? I have
had a long and toilsome journey, have aban-
coi.ed the mirth, gayeiy and so.ietv of .the
metropolis, to decide obr destine. I wiil not
deal m sof’ or poetic iangutge, but come like
a knight of oid, aod ■ fUr you all the homage
of my h»srt and sou 1 . I know you are too
noble minded to act the role of the deceiver.
Surely those who are so true to the dead,
must be doubly so to tbe livutg.”
"Monsieur, you are too excited; your reason
languishes ”
“O, Helen!” And he almost grasped the
jeweled band. “Do not trifle with me. I am
a man of the warmest ftelings, but am not
afraid to meet the worst If you are favorable
to me I wi 1 be in a beaveu of bliss.”
While St. L°on and Helen were engaged in
conversation, Clarence Percy entered the room
and aaii:
“I suppose Helen has decided to marry yon.”
“Father, as you wish, so shall it be."
Percy arose, and taking her band placed it in
that of St* Leon’s. He was too deeply moved
to speak.
"Father with yonr blessing, I ’hope Heaven
will smile upon ns.”
“I t one year,” said St Leon, “1 will claim
you as my own, my lovely bride. May onr
future be as brig! t, and as pure, as this jewel
with which I now pledge my troth. 1 wiil visit
R >rae, and Venice before I return ”
Eatlythe next morning S'. Leon departed
from Hastings Castle, for the continent. Helen
was a chiid of nature and found much to en
tertain, and interest her id Uas ings Castle, ai.d
its picturetque surroundings. Dreary as the
old Castle seemed, its ivy covered waffs were
dearer to Hrlen’s heart, than the polished
marble of the most gorgeous palace.

The Discrepancy Easily Explained.
From the Boston Transcript.
There is no little amusement in a certain
ehctric light establishment in Boston, over the
ingenious explanation of a mistake made by a
girl s j nographer and type writer Util steno
graphers, by tbe way, occasionally make at
< dfi mistake when they know nothing whaievtr
about the mait r that they are "taking.” This
pirticular one bad had a technical letter to
some expected customer dictated to her, and
bad p-oduced a neatly written typ -writercopy

looked i' over.
"See here,” said be, rfter he had read alittle
"you make Mr say here that we guaran
tee to give twelve lights to every horse ptwer.
Now, inasmuch as our cucultrs guarantee to
give only eight lights toeveiy hoise-p.wer, 1
d m’t believe that Mr. — - ever could have
promised to give these people twelve lights.”
"t>b, Mr. certainly said sol”
"Did, eh? Well, how do you account for the
discrepancy ?’’
"That’s easy enongh,” said tbe girl. “The
circulars were made when tbe firm went into
business. Since that time the horns have
grown. They’re a good deal stronger now.”
“Whereare jou got' g, my lirrle lad?”
“To see de base ball iualcb, ilr,” be said.
"Have von got a ticket, my little lad?"
“Naw 11 aou’t zteed one, air,” he and.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.—DulL
heavy headache, obstruction of tho nasal
passages, discharges lulling from the head
into the throat, sometimes profuse, watery,
and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous*
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are
weak, watery, and intlamed; there is ringing
in the ears, deafness, hucking or coughing to
clear the throat, expectoration of offensive
matter, together with scabs from ulcere; the
voice is changc-d and has a nasal twang; the
breath is offensive; smell and taste are im
paired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with
mental depression, a hacking cough and gen
eral debility. Only a few of the above-named
symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands of cases annually, without
manifesting half of the above symptoms, ro?
suit in consumption, and end in the grave.
No disease is so common, more deceptive and

“Cutold Agony from Catarrh. 9 *
Prof. W. Hausner, the famous mesmerist,
of Ithaca, N. Ywrites: 44 Some ten years ago
I suffered untold agony from chronic nusai
catarrh. My family physician gave me up ot|
incurable, and said I must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sun
set, my voice would become so hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In the morning
my coughing and clearing of my throat would
almost strangle me. By the use of Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
man, and the cure has been permanent,"
“Constantly Hawking and Spitting. 5 *
Thomas J. Rushing, Esq., 2903 Pine Street^
St. Louis, Mo., writes: 44 1 was a great sufferer
from catarrh for three years. At times I could
hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking
and spitting, and for the last eight months
could not breathe through the nostrils. I
thought nothing could be done for me. Luck
ily, 1 was advised to try Dr. Sages Catarrh
Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe
it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now
manufactured, and one has only to give it a
fair trial to experience astounding results and
a permanent cure."

Eli Robbins, Runyan P. O., Columbia Ca^
pa., says: "My daughter had catarrh when
she was five years old, very badly. I saw Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro
cured a bottle for her, and soon saw that it-
helped her; a third bottle effected a perma
nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and
sound and hearty."
