And in her arms her baby bore ?

And dressed me up in fancy clothes,
And taught me liow to wipe my nope ?

VOL- VI-
, came back to me now ;with a bew significance. I
had noticed a hard look about the mouth as he
* came up, but had attributed it to the morbid feel
ings I knew him to entertain about the possibili
: ties attending partings. “If my absence, instead
of for only a few days, ‘ should be for years, per
haps forever,’ I doubt if life at the * liff would
know one ripple on itajnnooth and placid surface,”
he had said, and I had replied :
I “ True, humanity has the failing, or virtue if
you like, of forgetfulness.” I confess to being a
little piqued, although I Was as unruffled and calm
as the ocean below us, and did not pretend to see
the look he gave me. So we bad parted. And to
all intents and purposes “ for years, perhaps for
ever for my proud heart, rebelling against the
doubt of its truth, whispered that paltry revenge,
let him suffer. So busyjiad been my thoughts, I
had failed to hearjhe approach of footsteps from
a distant portion of the veranda until they had
reached me, and looking up carelessly, with instan
taneously self possession, I sAw Gilbert
Delanney standing beside me. I caught the gleam
of diamonds on the immaculate .shirt front, one
burned with a smouldering fire, even in the star
light, on a finger of the hand that throws away
the cigar he had been smoking, and their warmth
lingered at the wrists, seeming to mock me with
the present. He was very near me,
his haughty face, softened as only it softened to
me, bending over me, and there was a light in his
eyes I only too truly divined :
“ Will you ?” he said, and that was all.
For one moment I did not answer him, but I
made no pretence of misunderstanding him ; he j
bad heard the remark s asjwell as myself ...whether
the wboleilor only part, there was no evidence in
the confident complacency of his face to tell.
“ I will,” I answered calhily and unfalteringly.
The moment's silence passed; and like one in a
dVeanTl 'saw his ring glittering upon my hand,
and he had bent to imprint the fihst kiss
upon my lips, and it wAs over.
A week, passed. My engagement had gotten out
in a pretty'general manner; every one had expect
ed. it, therefore no one was surprised, and Will
Aubrey was mentioned no more in my presence-
Gilbert's 'attention was unremitting, he.was con'
stantly by my side, occupied all my time, and nec
essarily all my thoughts. I had set myself the
task of forgetting the dreams of my brightest years,
and Will Aubrey’B share in them, and I fancied,
in my pride aud wounded sensibility, that I was
succeeding.
My anilt congratulated me much after the man
ner of a Madame Descliappeles. having had, like
that lady,' a firm belief that I was “ born to make
a great marriage.” I listened with my usual com
placency, and even discussed the matter of a tros
sea-.i with orthodox calmness, for Gilbert had asked
for an early day, and 1 had acquiesced, feeling that
it would be a relief from the feverish unrest con
suming me, when it was safely over.
One day in the midst of the preparations she
inadvertently mentioned Will Aubrey's name.
“I had au idea, my lore,” she proceeded to say,
while I by a great effort tried to appear undisturb
ed, “he was casting bis byes at you; a splendid
young fellow, but he could never have given you a
reliable settlement in life, and that js a considera
tion sentiment should never allow one to overlook.”
My tranquility was over for that’day, r and I wa3
glad when enabled to steal away to the quiet beach,
there unobserved to battle with the waking night
mare of my sorrow.
The swift-winged golden hours went by to me
as if they were leaden shod, and in my mind I had
half made up the determination to tell Gilbert all,
cast myself upon his generosity,And ask for a re
lease from my engagement, when the sound of rap
idly approaching wheels broke in upon my thoughts,
look upon it again, if I should ever come back and
dare to tell that love which so long h:. hung upon
my lips. Margaret, dear Margaret I may tell you
now, knowing I have something beside poverty to
bid you share with me—fortune has smiled upon
me at last, Maggie,” his voice fondly llngered over
the dimihutxve. “ I may call you mine, my own,
my love, my Margaret ?”
I could not check his rapid utterances, ana m
my drooping figure he read shyness not shame. I
now' lifted my hand with an imploring gesture, my
left hand, ami instantly the ring smouldering upon
it caught his eve. lie dropped the hand he held,
| as if it had been a red hot •'oal, and retreated from
me, the deathly pallor creeping to cheek and brow,
overspreading and blotting out in one flash of time,
all the glow and ardor of tenderness, that had
mantled his handsome face like a glory. Ills white
lips found the power of speech at last, and the cold
. scorn in his voice, mingled with a sharp ring of
| pain, went to my soul like a torture,
j “ Forgive me, Margaret, that I was so fond as to
, think the semblance before me wAs the embodied
ideal of the bright image enshrined here. O beau
tiful cheat, beautiful mould of clay, may your dia
monds bring you all the happiness only such as
you can know !” and he strode away, leaving me
J rooted to the spot where he left me, gazing after
j him with my soul in my eyes, and a great cry in
my heart, that found no utterance on my par
alys'd tongue.
j I could have torn off the ring in my pain and
humiliation, and grouud it into the sand at my
feet, but I only gazed at it with a dull, far off
sense of its share in my misery, knowing he was
lost to me now r , forever and irrevocably.
I managed to live through the rest of the day,
and the long evening when we met at the house,
as if there was no skeleton in both our hearts; and
none suspected, Gilbert least of all. There was
dancing in the long parlott!. vfhich continued until
midnight, and I plunged into the mad whirl, as
the debauche drains his glass, to woo forgetfulness,
but it would not come ; only fatigue, sole substi
«tute for that Lethe I craved, came to me I slept
j toward daybreak ; a sleep which continued far into
' the forenoon. I was spared meeting Mr. Aubrey
at noon; he had gone dowA the coast some dis
tance, I learned, and after luncheon I was engaged
to Mr. Delariiiey for a long promised sail to a cave
famous for its shells, which I had expressed a wish
to visit.”
“Do not forgel; my dear,” said my aunt, who
beside being proud of me. was also fond of me in
hex way, “ that at high tide the cave is flooded, ao
have an eye on your boat.”
“ She is in my care, Mrs. Cliff,” said Gilbert
proudly, “ you may trust her safely with me."
Summer and sunshine seethed to have been
hoarding their glories td lavish upon this day.—
The ocean was one flawless sapphire, and there
was a murmur of music id air and sky, as we skim
med through the pellucid waters. All was Serene,
estatic, all but the ceaseless hunger in my hoart
marring the light and beauty around me.
The tide was fully out When we reached the caVe,
and at sight of its weird, isolated beauty, some
thing of the old time sense of the sublime entered
my heart. We moored our boat to a high, de
tached rock, and Jjegan to explore the grotto like
cave. It reminded me of some old tale of the
“ Arabian Nights,” or legend of fairy The
rocky sides were festooned with seaweed, and em
bossed with pretty masses, and bedecked, in the
innumerable crevices, with pink and pearl tinted
shells, which the tide, very higii at this point, left
behind it.
There was no ingress or egress, but that open
ing toward the sfea; the fissure in the rear over
which a tiny stream of water fditnd its way, being
but a narrow, jagged seam.
Away from thesKdrethe rocky floor sunk, form
ing a sort of basin, resembling at low tide a minia
ture lake, whose deep bed of white sand was sprink
led with prismatic shells gleaming like jewels
through the water.
There was a sort of fascination for me in its deep
but placid depths, and there was something sweet
to me in the thought of the rest it held idle the
seeking.
but “ a sand pillow and a water slieet,”
but its bed held a rest, couches of down could
never woo.
Small as was the cave, every step held some new
revelation for the lover of the beautiful, and I
ceased to note the hours as they slipped awa^. —
Gilbert gathered shells fdr me, some times frdm
niches dangerously out of reach, but nathingseeiri
ed to daunt him If for me. .The circuit, by long
stages of this description, was made at last, and I
gave the word for home.
As we neared the opening, we noted with alarm
that the tide, for how long we did not know, had
been rapidly coming in, and turning our eyes to
the spot where we had moored our boat, found
that it was—gone.
The water had swallowed up the rock about
which the chain had been thrown, and tho motion
of the tide had loosened it. There was no sign of
it far as the eye could reach ; we were cut off from
return, the tide rising hungrily with the requiem
of death in its murmurings.
After the first shudder at the discovery, all that
accumulation of terror the nature of the situation
would have called up in my bosom, in the days
when life was life to me, crouched down in my
heart, and a strange sense of thanksgiving arose
from its ashes. I should die, but true to him ;he
wodld never know of my deep love, but in heaven
I could meet him all his own, and he might mourn
me here, not as Gilbert Delanney's wife, but as his
lost love, to be found again in heaven. There was
something so sweet in the thtiugb , that Aglow
coming on over the crisp sards, at. i tc vards -tie,
evidently bound for Cliff House, vas a opei ba
rouche, and as I further disc vereJ that- Will Au
brey was its tutfjr occupant akemste thrills w joy
and chi 1 i of c>ead, succeeded each otHif ir. .i&f
overwrought frame.
He had descried me also before I bad gained
my self possession, said something to the coach
man, and springing out, came toward me. Ire
member how the admiration with which I noted
the springing grace of step, and ease of carriage
drowned all other emotions for the time; and when
he had reached ihe, arid my hand lay in his, clasp
ed so safely, tenderly, his eyes looking down into
mine with more than their wonted tenderness, I
gave myself up for one brief moment to the magic
1 spell of his presence, and stole from time one breath
of happiness.
“ Surely this is a blissful omen to my hqpes,
meeting you here, Margaret, and alone. I forget
that hour a few short days ago, when I looked in
to this dear face and wondered if I should ever
ran along my heart, Arid sent its warmth to my
cheek, and as the waves crept toward me, they
seemed but as arms, to bear me to that blissful
waiting.
I turned to Gilbert. He was pale as death, with
that palor the brave sometimes wear so bravely.—
1 shall never forget the look he turned upon me
as he gathered me in his antis. A great, dry sob
choked him for a moment, then he said:
“O, my love, that I must lose you thus, while
! yet that full draught of bliss, the future offered in
| a brimming clip, has nevef touched my lipA. So
! young, so fair, and thus to give life up' with all the
| joy and freshm*ss which it held for you. My
j bride, my wife, if my life could purchase yours my
love could smile upon the happy sacrifice. Kiss
me darling, so. even with the bitter, it is sweet to
know death cannot divide U3.”
I shuddered as I listened to this great love and
j the lips I yielded to him were cold and passive.
I Eternity crept nearer and nearer as the tide
j came moaning iri. All would sobn he over. Could
; I meet death with this burden of deceit upon my
heart, which every endearing word or epithet upon
his lips stung into remorse, I asked myself as I lis
tened to its advancing step, and some echo from
FOB THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL.

the rock or sea, or in my inner soul whispered no!
! Gilbert,” I said, “in this hour with the past
so far behind, the future looming so near, your
great heart can pity and forgive what I am’about
to tell you, say that you can and will," I paused,
lifting my pleading face to his.
He bent and kissed tee.
“ 1 c4n for ge* everything, but that you Are triltt*;
' **»«£ ■ - ,
I crept away from him aa if he had dealt m a
blow. His eyes followed me with a Wild, startled i
look in them I hardly dared m4i. Mjf it c* must
hare teld him, for he covered his eyes with his
locked fingers as if to shut out the sight.
“ Forgive me, Gilbert, I never had a heart to
give you. I loved another, and was loved in re
turn, but in a mad bout thinking, fiom a remark
I heard, that he had cast me off as but a heartless
panderer to selfish ends, I gave myself t'd a lie to
hide my sufferings; hut oh ! believe me, no other
consideration influenced me to the act. I may be
weak; lam not so mean as that. Hbw bitterly I
have expiated the wrong done you, ler, this supreme
hour be witness to. If I could have died and
spared you this, I would have done it, believe me ;
but conscience clamored at my tongue. Say you
forgive me, and I wili die happy.”
“ Forgive you, yes; and from my heart I pitty
more than censure. I loved you truly, wholly,
not selfishly; and if I could this moment place
you in your lover's arms, I would do it without a
murmur,” he replied, with a depth and fervor
bubbling from the heart.
“ Oil, what a heart I would have wronged,” I
cried: “ I was all unworthy such love.”
The Waves were lashing at tfflr very feet, he
drew me farther away, keeping me close in his
Armii, “ -you will not refuse me this,” he said, with
a sadly mournful smile.
Could I he mistaken. No, surely it was the
steady dip of oars that reached me. I started from
his arms and strained my eyes seaward, just as a
light skiff shot in sight, not twenty yards away,
coming from down the coast, and the rower was
Will Aubrey.
With a cry that echoed across the water like
the wail of some lost spirit, I fell forward at Gil
bert Delanney's feet, and a great darkness came
offer me. and I knew no more.
I awoke in my own room at Cliff House, my
aunt bending over me, and whispering words of
reassurance in my ears.
“Where is he?” *-said, “tell hini to come to
me.” A step was near, I looked up, and the next
moment Will Aubrey had me in his arms, and
was nestling In his bosom.
The next day I went down stairs, and among the
first things I did was to return Delanney his dia
mond, and an hour after, he had departed from
Cliff House. The ocean bad been months between
us when I became a bride, the happiest wife in
Christendom.
When next I saw him, a fair, young wife was
by his side, but there was a subdued mournfulriess
in his eyes as at times they dwelt upon me, that
made me nestle closer to ray husband’s side, and
recalled the agony of that trial time, when a dia
mond set its seal upon the tomb of hope.
