COHEN, Foot of Cotton Avenue, jnlyl3tf I CAN NOT TELL YOU. “Will you marry mo, Violet, aa your father wished f ” Tbe girl turned and laid her hand in tbe questioner’s with the simple answer, confidingly uttered: “I will.” And then Violet Allyn was be trothed to Carrol Dauton, just one day after tbe cruel stroke that had left her fatherless. She was but sixteen, and lore, as she was to know it in later years, was a sealed page to her os yet; but her whole respeot and esteem had been long since won by tbe noble man whom her father bad loved during tho last years of bis life as a son. Carrol Danton was twice her age and bad seen much of tbe world, but surely never in any clime could his eyes have rested upon a love liness more perfect than that of Ms betrothed. In her deep mourning garb, her sweet face, surrounded with its aureole of pale gold, seemed to him as fair as an angel is. They were married, and a brief happy year flitted by. Though outwardly the same, Violet was a child no longer. With her new life and duties new thoughts and capabilities had sprung into immediate being, and an emotion, over-mastering and ab sorbing, bad taken its dominion witbin ber heart. Her love for her husband in its intensity almost irigbtened herself, and it served to render her shy of expressing herself through actions or words, lest she should appear ridiculous; and thus, though lie re cognized tho affection that was so thoughtful for bis every comfort, Carrol little dreamed of the real uepth ofthe tenderness that filled bis young wife’s heart for him. Although it occupied a large por- tion of his time to attend to the extensive estate which his wife had brought him, Carrol’s own business interests, which he had retained, notwithstanding his wealthy mur- th * riage, compelled his occasional ah scnce from home. At such times, at his desire, his cousiD, Maria Danton, about his ewn age, and therefore much older thnn Violet, installed herself at Allyn Hall as companion for his young wife. Could Carrol have looked into the future, he would as soon have placed a viper amid the boquet of fragrant flowers which was his daily offering to bis wife, as to have introduced into bis happy home one who camo there with the in tention fully formed of working, If it came within her power,no good, but deadliest harm. All her life, despite entire lack of encouragement, Marla Danton bad loved ber cousin. She was very plain, and keenly sensitive to the lact, and from the first Violet’s beauty had aroused a demon of jealous hatred within her breast. But she bad managed to conceal so well her real feeling under a garb of cousinly affection and interest that Violet, as Carrol, had been de ceived. She had been at the Hall three weeks, during which Carrol bad been away from home. His return was expected at tho expiration of another week, bnt unexpectedly, he came several days sooner. Date one evening, full »l eager ness to see once more the dear lit tle wife from whom lie had been had seized her, and she had vowed j men had time to make their preB to him that there was no occasion i cnee known, they became the unin- lor them. : tentional listeners to an ardent love “Then give me the explanation I j declaration, ask,” lie said. “I will brook no “I have looked in vain this whole separated so much longer than ever before, and to enjoy her surprise, be entered the drawing-room un announced, to lind Maria there alone. An hour passed. Satan had placed at last tho coverted oppor tunity witbin Maria Hanlon's icacb, and she used it so skillfully, vail ing ber malice undo! an aspect of secrets. I can give my trust cither in all, or not ut all. Violet, as your husband, 1 command you to tell mo who it is you have met clandestinely every night for a week.” At the conclusion ofhis sentence an indignant light flamed in Violet’s face. “I sec now who it is that has poisoned your mind against me,” •he oried. “No one but Maria could have known so much concerning my movements. Carrol, if you chooso to believe and trust her before your wife, I have nothing further to Bay or plead.” “Then you rofuse to tell mo what X ask? Violet, I havo given you a husband’s affection; it suiely calls for something better than reserve and duplicity. For the sake of your own happiness and mine, I implore you to he frank. Inno cence has no fear; it is only guilt that cowers and trembles.” But though tears drenched her cheeks, “I cannot tell you what ;’ou ask,” was all the answer Vio- et gave to hor husband’s moving ippeal. More words passed, angry and bitter upon one side, passively heard on the other; and then the husband and wife parted, and Vio let was left aiono in her girlhood’s home, a child in years, with more than a woman’s heritage of suffer ing. The next morning, without wait ing to hid farewell to tbe hostess whose happiness her secret spito had blasted, Maria Danton left the Hall. Six years have now run their course since the above. It is morn ing, and upon tho sands of a quiet watering place two gentlemen arc strolling together—one handsome, with a frank, good-humored face, the other tall, dark and very grave. “I’m so glad I fell in with you, old fellow,” the younger one is saying. “Whore have you kept yourself since wo met in Paris?” “Abroad,” is the answer. “I only returned last week, impelled by a longing to set foot onco more upon my native soil; but 1 find now that I’m here that I havo no desire to remain. The associations revive the pain too keenly. I shall take the next steamer out again if noth ing happens to change my determi nation.” Mark Blair looked up into the dark taco beside him curi Jusiy; but he had not known his companion long cnougli to possess the clew to his gloom. With ready tact lie turned tbe conversation. “Well, while you aro here you might aa well have a little social CDjoymcnt. What say you I o mak ing a call with me to-night? I have an aunt who lias a villa hero who is the soul of hospitality, and would be charmed, I know, to make your acquaintance. Will you come? By-tbe-byc, she has a friend visiting her who !b us beau tiful as a Peri, and is a magnificent musician.” Tbe latter is an inducement,” Mark’s companion answered. “I am passionately fond of music, but I fear my society manners are sailiy out of repair. However, ii you wish it, I will accompany you willingly.” And so at 9 o'clock, just as the young inoon flings her pale radi ance over the waters, the gentle men walk slowly along the path to the villa, whose grounds slope in a succession of terraces down to the sands. As they near the house they retard their steps, for through tbe grave and sorrowful concern that j open window sweet sounds steal when Violet entered the room, tier i out upon the night air. fair hair clinging wet with dew, j Pausing beneath the balcony about her forehead, anil a shawl i they listen. enveloped her sleodcr form, it was j The song 1b a sad one, and is shrink back in sturlled surprise ! sung in a voice whose inciting at the expression upon llie two, pathos penetrates one man's lieuit faces that met her eye*. ; with a potenoy so strong as to ELLA VILLE Male!

Time passed, aud no sound of altercation penetrated the closed doors, but the traitor without smiled still more evilly as, a half hour later, she heard the ball cause his face to pale and his limbs to tremble beneath him. He laid his hand upon Mark’s arm with an urgent pressure. “Do not go yet,” he said. “Wait and see if she sings again.” “All right,” Mark whispered door close with a resounding clang, j hack. “Bat if yon aro charmed and a few moments after a light j witli her voice, just wuit until you footfall go faltcringly, with many see her face.” pauses, up tbe stairs. j But the song ended; there came To her husband's natural query i not another. Instead, a tread of as to where she bad been thus alone i feet and a rustle of silken drapery at sueb a late hour, Violet had re- 1 above their heads apprised them B lied that she was unable to give im an answer. When she realized tbe suspicions that wera filling hit mind, terror that the secret songstress, accom panied by another, has emerged from tbe room into the balcony. Another moment, before tbs two week for an opportunity to speak with you alone. Ob, Violet, thank you, thank you, for ginnting it to me at last. Surely, you know what I am going to tell you—how madly, desperately .1 love you. Violet, your manner to mo has never given me any encourage ment, but I can not believe that I am wholly indifferent to you. Such devotion as mine must win somo return.” A soft voice interrupts him. “Do not thank me, Cousin Ralph, 1 ’ it says; “I indeed under stood your desire for an interview, but I havo only granted it to you to show you the hopelessness of your attachment.” “Why hopelessness? There is utter despair in that word. You aro your own mistress; young and beautiful, capable of loving and of inspiring love. Why say ‘hopo lessness?' “ “Because,” comes the sad reply, “it is the right word for me to use, Cousin Ralph, I have loved, but ho who alone ever possessed in heart is cold in his grayc, and a! my hope is buried with him Ralph, I am now going to tell you something that will cause you pain, and what, hud it not been for this avowal, you would never have known.” “One day, as you remember, six years ago, you came to my houso, in the absence of my hus band, to beg from me the means of assistance and concealment. In a fit of passion you bad challenged a fellow-student to an unlawful duel. You had fought and had tied, wounded yourself, from tbe field where you bad left your con testant, as you thought, mortally injured. “You had succeeded In reaching tho Hall before the alarm had been sounded and the pursuit begun I listened to your alory with hor ror. You implored me, by tho ties of blood and old acquaintance, and for the honor of your mime, to hide you until your hurt should be healed, and you uould make your escape to another country. I did so. Tiie excitement in the town ran high, for tho young inan whom you had wounded lay between life and death; but by an imminent risk to myself, I concealed you in an empty tool house witbin my own park, and ministered myself to your wants. By my action in thus befriending you I ruined my whole life. “My husband returned two days before you effected your escape. A treacherous momber of my house bold aroused his suspicious. My solemn promise hound me in iron fetters, and when be questioned me, and implored mo, if it were indeed possible, to explain my mysterious nightly absccncs from my home, I was obliged to remain silent. “All that sustained me through that dreadful interview was the hope that in a brief while you would bo far away aad safe from tho disgraceful "consequences of your rashness, and that then I could tell my husband all. But that hope was not to bo realized. “He ieft mo iabitter anger, and I have never seen him since, nor heard from him, until a year ago a friend abroad sent me papers con taining the account of the toss of a French steamer, one of whose ill-fated passengers he was. I thought then 1 should die, but God willed it otherwise. “Cousin Ralph, surely now you will never approaeh me again upon a subject that can only add one more pang to tbe sorrow that through you—I mast say it, though it wound you—must forever bar the entrance of happiness into my heart.” There is a moment’s pause, then a man’s voice breaks it: “And it was my hand that wrought you this suffering! Though he I wounded recovered from bis hurt, and my band is free from the blood of a fellow-being, I have slain a soul Cousin Violet, forgive ms if you can—I can never forgive myself.” There is a sound ol retreating footsteps, and of a woman’s sob, then, unable to control any longer the emotions that impelled him, deserting his friend, and climbing with agile qulekness up the balco ny supports, Carrol Danton stands before tbe wife he had lost but bad never ceased to love, despite the torturing doubts thai, had embit tered tbe last dark years. “My wife 1” be cries; "my Injur ed Violet I It is your husband, not dead, but alive abd beside you, who has heard your exoneration from your own lips. Do you not know me? Do not shrink from me. It is indeed your Carrol, ask ing upon bis knees pardon for tbe sorrow he has caused you to suf fer. Tbe cry Is full ofsn unutterable agonized longing, and as Violet hears end fells herself gathered close into an embrace that proves beyond mistsko tbe life and well being of tbe husband she bos deem ed dead, happiness once more springs joyously baok to the Ihrone to which it haB been a stranger-for so long and dreary a while. And thus Mark Blair learns tbe secret of bis friend’s sadness, and feels no small gratification at bis own share in tbe blissful reconcilia- tion. •_ - A CARD.
