WAS eighteen; he VQ,! was ten years my senior. He was my B 'ii./y first lover, and I ■:?. was convinced that no girl ever had £ J oae go devoted and M kind,.so noble and high minded, and withal possessed of such business ea ‘ ’ pacify. This last y was, indeed, in the eves of my mother, s j ne qna non ; without it tho other qualities combined would have been utterly worthless. He was owner of an ample fortune which he had in herited, but it was well invested and the interest allowed to accumulate, so that one day he might be a gentleman of leisure. Meantime he was employed at a gft ]ary of $3000 a year; preferring that to being in business on liis own account. He had traveled extensively, flnt l appeared in many ways much oiciertnan u his ms years In in ccmversati couvexsaii ju m I have never met his superior, seldom his equal. We were introduced one day J in August on tho beach, and for ,, next two weeks we walked on the beach, we drove ou the beach, we sat on tijf) beach watching the flowing £ tide come m, we stood 3 ou the t beach looking at the moon, shining with all her might on the quivering waves, and f ‘“ i en *nlif»htpd our our troth on OU tho \ U0 beach anil lelt it an engaged couple, He must return to town—a fortnight * A s all the vacation he ever allowed .. himself. Hut we must say goouby „ on the beach, because it had, thus far, the sweetest aud tendereat associations fur ns - So, though the morning was cool aud damp, and a gentle wood fire made the hotel parlor a most com fortable and inviting place, mv Jo insisted . that Ins Lulu should route put on her thick boots aud maokin tosh and walk for half an hour where th « could talk to us and mur mur their blessings and good wishes for our future. I was tired aud sleepy dancing too much the night be fore, and my hands were cold and clammy from tho penetrating east wind and tho thick mist which filled the air. I could well have dispensed with the benediction of the waters just then, but did not dream of- opposing tty lover’s request He liftu, I soon found, n. masterful that caused one to carry out his suggestions instinctively-overlaid however, with great gentleness ot and u iA-R>i»siv.-riaas not to be Urn iron h hand f is successfully »“• «? hidden, ^ *ven from those far more experienced , n( j k ee u of perception than myself, I twfts something new for me to be thus controlled. An only child, I had possessed the knack of making the J.ouseliold bend to my will ever since I T could .. remember. 1 But . t 1 # had met my match in Jerome Crocker. The middle of September came. At this time my mother and I had usually left the shore for beautiful Lenox, where we fouud the social atmosphere most congenial to 11 s. But this year my Jerome required my presence in tho city. He was longing for my society. We could take long drives in the suburbs iu tho late after¬ noon, walks in the evening—in short, we could bo together, which was tho proper thing for tho betrothed couple. To my amazement nnd—shall I con fessit?—a little disappointment, which I did not understand, my mother agreed with him, and to town wo re¬ turned. I found now that I was taken in hand with a vengeance. Jerome monopolized nearly all of my time. Ho planned my employment for tho day by mapping out in black aud white the manner in which he expected me to pass the hours when ho could not be with me. He informed mo that I was not me thodical in my pursuits—which was true enough, I thought with a sigh. His intention was evidently to revolu iouize my habits, tastes and tempera¬ ment also, if that were possible. Be ginning with piano music, he laid down the rule that I must practice four hours each day without fail; no more, no less—just that. He prescribed two hours for five finger exercise, and the remaining two on one of Beethoven’s most difficult sonatas, which he had selected, and which he wished me to make a special studv. Now I had been in tho habit of practicing when and how I liked; and though I had studied for three years or more with one of tho most competent instructors, my playing, Judged from an artistic standpoint, wm careless and slipshod. But, hav ing great musical intelligence, I was enabled easily to master difficulties of execution, and it was necessary for me only to apply myself to steady 'a end conscientious practice to atta.n fair degree of excrllence in the mechani Ml part of the art at least. My reading was next taken in hand, On being cathechised, it was found that I was wofully ignorant in regard to most of the standard writers. Carl vie? So? 1 Lari never read a as nt once of that virile, dogmatic old worthv. Accordingly a dose of the French Revolution was administered. One hour a day was to be spent in gaz ing st the series of lurid pictures thrown off at white heat by this grand impressionist, fired with indignation at the slow, sad years of injustice and tvrahny. Jerome spent nearly every evening with me, aud I was fully ouestionedas fo my progress. Alas! a disgraceful plnck too often awaited me. I had seldom made out my four hoars of practice, owing to c lifers, engage nients with dressmakers. or head aches, The last I began, to have iu jjfeuty. And the French He volution ! I c<MMd not grasp the situation, or ua- derstand two consecutive 'sentences 5 and was helpless to make out in the least what all those people who seemed so terribly in earnest were trying to do. That ponderous work was accord¬ ingly replaced by “David Copper field,” which I should have heartily enjoyed had I not felt that I was re¬ garded by Jerome in tho light of auother Dora Spenlow. I had an un¬ derlying conviction that the story was given to me that I might seo how small and insignificant a poor little brainless woman can be in the eyes of a bright, intellectual man. As I look back on that strange year of my youth, which was a veritable storm and stress period, I marvel at my blindness and complete infatuation. My will Was entirely merged into that of Jerome. His calm assumption and quiet firmness in laying down rules for mo were like tho commands laid on tho hapless Six Hundred. His voice was rich and melodious, and his manner polished to courtli¬ ness, with not a shade of sternness, even when, as was so often the case, he must have been sadly disgusted at my lack of appreciation of subjects in which he found so much to enjoy. Strange to say, he made no adverse criticism on my style of dress. It is true I was always consummately clothed—not alone bv my own taste, but because I was allowed to go to the best dressmakers without regard to espouse. Jerome told me frankly that he ad¬ mired tho air of elegance iu my slen¬ der figure; tho slight droop of tho hea:l, the swan-like throat; tho small Greek nose and delicate chin. The type was patrician. The chin had a receding slope, how¬ ever ; he was a little afraid of that; he feared it meant weakness of character. I knew his diagnosis was oorrect there, beyond question. Tho winter passed, and the spring. It was arranged that our marriage should take place tho coming October. And now I began to lose my appetite and strength. My parents were much alarmed, and Jo romo especially so. A European voy¬ age was discussed by tho throe most solicitous for my welfare and finally decided upon. But for some reason which I could not myself understand, my will iu this matter asserted itself. I so violently opposed tho plan that it was given up, though most reluct¬ antly. I had it in mind that I was sinking into a decline, nnd I wanted to die in my own country. In a dim sort of way J I felt that a great change ° was in store for me in tho coming summer— some crisis is my life—and my languor aud depression of spirits caused me to picture my own death. I had even mentally arranged tho death-bed scene aud tho probable time of my demise, which I thought would be either in July or August. I was, iu mind. fact, m a deplorably morbid state of My reading aud music were, of course, given up. I hadtvvico fninted while at the piano, and the physician whom wo had known since my child hood issued his mandate that I was to do nothing in music during the sum mer, and thpio **■«■. -pNiUm, if I read at all, must/ be f Jbntest nature^ I Koatdinr.<U Lhe first^of «t Jm tlU:, louud ulftCii u again at the , u\Il Jerome s passion for too ooean wos, if possible, greater than ever ho seoraed really satisfied und nt ease only when ho was near tlio water, or on it, a liking which 1 did not share, though 1 was usually his companion when he went on his sailing excur sions. One evening I had started alouo for a stroll on tho beach, leav¬ ing Jerome on the hotel ptasixa talking business with a friend. Tho sun was setting when he joined me, and wo stood in silence watching its disap¬ pearance below tho horizon line. “Let us walk down to the little cove nnd take a boat and go for ashort row. ” My heart grow sick with apprehen¬ sion. “It is too Jate, ” I urged, “j t would be dark long beforo we could get back.” “Not at nil; tbe moon will be up— and see—there are others starting out. Wo shall have company about ns, even if wa do not know them.” “I feel somehow,” I insisted, “as if I cannot go ou the water to-night.” “Because V” ho queried. “I cannot tell you why, but you know, Jerome, I never oppose you— just now, however.” “Nor must you now,” ho said, tak¬ ing my hands and looking into my eyes with his kindly, searching gaze. “But the ocean is so large, aud our boat so small.” “Yes; but I know tho ocean aud love it—we are on the best of terms, you know, too, that I handle tho oars with tho skill of u professional oars¬ man. ” By this time we had reached the cove, and the man in charge of the boats had one in readiness for us. The strong will made mo obey, a* it always did, and J stepped into the boat. As we pushed off' I saw a small cloud coming up out ot the West. A sick fear came over me, aud the cer tainty crept into my brain that the crisis I bail been dreading was bang ing over me. But I said nothing—Jerome had no sympathy with frightened women. It was incomprehensible to me that a man with such cool judgment and so jarge an amount of caution as Jerome possessed, did not at once turnback. I , The other boats were all coming in, but still we went on. It grew darker -the whole appearance of the night ; .seemed ghastly to me. The ocean lay very black, tbe breathing of the wind j just rippling tbe water. A thin, shad owy vapor came and hid the moon, Now the breeze died out aud the at rnospbere grew hot. In the extreme west the shade of the heavens was of a dismal state, aud the 1 lightning was winking like stars, i , dancing madly in among the gloom. 1 sat motionless in the middle of the j j boat watching strangely the and growth unnaturally of the calm, ) 1 The gloom stole gradually into dark Dess, as though a giant hand was war ily drawing a sable curtain about us. 1 Twice I tried to ask if he were rowing homeward, but I could not articulate 1 word. And now came a vivid flash a of forked lightning. It showed me Jerome’s handsome face, pale as death, the features set and rigid. The crash of thunder that followed was terrific, ^ hen the peal ha died away some thing ca?ae to my crippled CODSCIOUiF nese as deemvs and hopeieaa as ‘:u- criminii. . tones of (loath to a. “We avs doomed, my dear child, lut at least we can dio together; I could not Uavo gone without you.” The wind rose, and our boat began dancing on the crests of the waves aslightK as a bird on a clover top. I thought I saw not far off a boat larger than ours with some one in it, but was nif sure that ifc was not a fancy of mine born of a dim hope that we might bo saved. A thousand lights danced before my eyes, my senses-were leaving me. My feet grew icy cold, and felt as if they were in water, which was'indeed tho case. All nt once the boat knew] gk ve ft whirl and plunge and 1 no more. When the morning dawnea, clear and cool, I found myself lying jn the boat¬ house, blanketed and shajwled, with my mother and other friends regard about me. Why did I not inquire in to tho fate of Jerome? I hardly know—but I did not. a “Mr. Crocker has just fcono np to tho volunteered hotel to dry and of wari^ mends; himself,” “we ouo my hogged him to go—we assured him wo would send him word directly you re¬ gained your oonseionness.” After a fortnight had passed, dur¬ ing which time we had not seen much of each other, Jerome being laid up with symptoms of an illness which was only warded off, I felt sure, by the strength of his iron will f became aware of a distinct change in my illu¬ sions.

SVliat would my life be,” I repoat edly asked myself, “if spent under tlio control of a temperament so ex¬ acting—demanding the a 'sorption of my whole Vicing into bis? Simply moral and mental annihilation. ” In our long talk on that distressing subject, which I saw his keep percep¬ tion had m a measure anticipated, he listened to my decision, and accepted his destiny with characteristic calm¬ ness, and with a palo face and features sot and rigid, left me forever.
