That ono<4 had power my lamo*t so^l t

To kindle all my fa *e with sudJen flame.
And a I my heart with secret rapture All.

When* vanished they—those old-time hope*
and fears
That used to blanch mv check or swiftly*,bring
B tore my sight a blinding mist ©I tears.
I meet the eyes cow, tranquil, unconcerned,
W ere once a single frightened clauce 1
stoic—
ioae eyes thatlong ago a pathway burned
Into the inner temple of iny soul,
l hear that old, familiar voice, unmoved
Whose faintest toue was music- in that day;
No quickened impulse proclaims the voi<M
beloved,
My quiet heart goes steadfast on her way.
No bitterness, no sha ’ow of regret
Comes up to mar my peaoe with secret doubt

as passing through the hail.

“ We will make ss as we

Thank you, madame.” •
Margaret spoke pleasantly, but she
. . ashed back some tears as she ran up
- her own dormitory.
All the girls were going hqme except
her. They were in a merry bustle of
preparation, packing tranks and boxes,
t .d exchanging farewell gifts and prom
- cs, as girls always do at tho close of
.
shool.
There was anew departure every hour.

fornia, aiul one from Cuba, for whom the
J faimey was to long. It war all very
Li&SSA™
“ Yes too bad!” she repeated, the
tears welling up anew and blinding her
guardian’s letter when she tried to re
read it. Among other things he said:—
“I am sorry, Margaret, for the neees
9 tty, but I must ask you to defer your
usual visit sister,’Mrs. home, for a few weeks, at
wast. My Abbey, and her j
on Joe, have Invited themselves to visit
i f*. I cannot send them away, arid X do
r ot choose to have you in contact with a
oiing m.an of Joe Abbey’s character. 1
8 mil consign you to the care of Madame
Robbins for a short time. She informs
me that she intends going at once to
Ocean Cliff. I have sent her, with your
school bills, a check sufficient to cover
your expenses, and desire that you go
with her. 1 may see you there, and ,ex
plain further.”
“His sister and her sou, must be queer
people, if 1 am not to be associated with j
'hem, and kept away from Lome indig-| on j
their account!” cried Margaret,
r.antly, as she put away the letter. “X >
think Guardy Somerville must be a---”
But Margaret's lips would not utter
the word “fool” of her dear guardian.
She remembered how he had taken her,
a little orphan of six years, from her
dying mother, who was his old friend!
and schoolmate, though a few years his
senior. How he had surrounded her |
with every kindness, dressed her richly,
sent her to the best schools, and done
all that the most indulgent parent could |
have felt done her for banishment her. And that keenly. was why | |
she so
“ I wouldn’t mind if be had old only come, |
and let me see his dear face,” she
^aid, “but to send me off without one; |
hour’s warning, and just a cold, little he'
letter, oh, how angry I am! A d if
does not come to Ocean Cliff, 1 mean to}
punish him well! I suppose he won’t
come until bis line company have gone. 1
i never heard him speak much of his
sister, but it seems very odd that he •
doesn’t want me there while she is! Per
Pa ps I should be in the way of their fee
tivities. Oh well, I don’t care! I can
live without him as long as he can with¬
out me ! I don’t care, I'm sure ! ”
But in spite of all her “ didn’t care3,”
she went to Ocean Ciiff with madame, in
quite an Indignant, injured frame of
mind. i
0-Jean Cliff was not a great watering
place, but a beautiful, quiet nook among
the rocks beside the sea, with some

“lam well, but I not happy. I am
vft-y angry at being banished from
home,” said Margaret, solemnly.
“You did not regret the necessity
moro than I did, Margaret,” said Mr.
Somerville, a look of pain coming into
his fine face.
“ Necessity !” echoed Margaret, doubt
fully.
“Yes, child. Come and sit down here,
quietly, and I will explain what I know
seems strange to you.”
“It does seem strange,” said Marga¬
ret. “'Why, I hardly knew you had a
sister.” *
" That true, child. I have never
liked to t peak of her. My sister Lan
rette has not been—well, a credit to her
family, and years ago she ran away with
and married, or says she married, a cir
cus actor, and we have never had any
thins to do with her since. I have al
ways sent her money when sho asked
me for it, and she received lior part of
my father’s estate when ho died. Mar
garet, three weeks ago she suddenly had
the face to appear at our house, saying
sho had come to visit hor old home, and
I could not turn her out—with all her
faults, slm is still my sister.”
“ Oh, no, you couldn’t turn her out,”
said Margaret.
“ Sho liad with her her son, Joe, a
young man about twenty-throe, who is a
tight-ropo and trapeze performer in a
circus.”^ “ Oh 1” cried Margaret, in unaffected
horror at such people associated with
her fastidious guardian.
“More than that, said Mr. S>mer
vllle, “Joe Abbey is an unprincipled
rascal, and a notorious drunkard, and
1 was resolved that he should not be
brought into association with my pure,
true f°i* bidding girl. Do you not blame me, while Margaret, they
you come
stayed?” x
“No; J thank you it sam ., ^ -i : rgiret
believ.-1 will. Liurette know you wore
living with me. She knows you will be
my heiress. She came, dear Margaret,
to pro,.ose a marriage between you, and
her sou, Joe Abbey, the circus perfor
inor.
Margaret sprang to her foot. “Why, I
would kill myself first?’ she cried
with flashing eyes, vhlch made Mr.
Somerville smile.
“Don’t get excited, child. I was not
nt all afraid you would consent, though
Joe Abbey is a Lanusome follow. But I
knew they would worry and trouble you,
and I would not let you come home.
“I am glad you did not, said Marg
wet. "Do they know you come to
see me?”
“Oh. no. And that is why , t I cannot
stay. I do not want t, ,m to knov.- you
are here. Lauretto is very determined,
and they might follow yon. They think
Margeret, enucted. with M’ohmm
Bobbins, until i hey are gone?
“Yes, slue's I hav< un you,
swered Margeret, 1 ea<ii!y.
“ And—Margeret, there is no young
fellow hore^who is JjxieJy to take my
child away?” .
“Oh, no, no! none anywhere in the
world, dear guardy ! I would not leave
you for any one !“
“Of course i knov/ it is likely to bo
sometime,” s-.M he, “but 1 am not
ready to give you up, Margeret. I shall
go home feeling better for knowing
there is no danger.”
“ And never will be !” cried Margeret.
“Then--”
Mr. Somerville checked himself, ah
ruptly, with the one word. And pres
entiy told Margeret that, as his stay
must bo so short, the j- had better go up
to the hotel, u nd Madame Robbins.
In an hour he was gone, and Margaret
resumed her lonely walks by the sea.
She had much food for thought. Ilcr
whole soul revolted at the idea of a
union with one like Joe Abbey. Then
from him she sent her thoughts to
others, and 6*ill her hear - shrank—no,
no, she could not give up her dear guar
dian for any or ail of them.
It was so natural to be with him! He
had always watched over an 1 cared lor
her—she could not think of a life without
him. And as she s;rolled and listened
to what the wild waves were saying, it
seemed to her that over and over they
sang “Only one! only one!” and they
told Margaret that no other man could
ever make her life what he had made it—
and could mak 1 it.
“But he wid not,” sho said. “He
never thought of, or cared for me that
way. But I will keep my secret, and
there will be no disappointment. I never
need leave him. I will stay and be his
child always. That will no happiness
enough for me !”
And so she stayed at the seaside, wait
ing for her summons home, when the
troublesome visitors should have de
parted. One day her summons came,
but not as she ha i expected.
It was in the shape of a telegram from
Mrs. Sleepi-r, her guardian’s house
keeper, which said, without preface or
w r arnmg:—
Mr. Somerville very sick. Doctor

Madame kindly assisted to hasten her
departure, and when the sun set, that
evening, she was clasped in kind Mrs.
Sleeper’s motherly arms on the piazza
at home.
“ Where are your quests?” she whisp
ered.
“Gone, at the first scare f* said Mrs.

I lately met nt a reception a French

the Dumas family, «nd he gave moan
amusing account, of Mile. J^anninc, now

wit, and talking slang wit Lout end ; in a

mortally affronted one day an antiquated
beau and member of the Jockey Club,
who still prided himself on his personal
churms and prowess as a lady-ldller.
This personage called one day upon
Mine. Dumas and re'juosted to see her
daughter. A serv ifit was accordingly
s nt to summon Mademoiselle. Then
came a voice from tho staircase an
nounciqg in audible tones; “I shall not
conic. When I want to study nntiqui
ties I will go to the Louvre.” And tho
old gentleman never forgave her. At

the reception tnat followed the core

looking at him with a peculiarly pensive
expression. “ Why do you look so sad? ”
he said to ucr in a whisper. “Aro you
