Toudcr aud/Irud, Chapter 111 THE DREAM Ol' A LOT. Somehow then i; seemed to me as if we had settled down into the old grove, and things were going on as before ; that we somehow knew our child’s hear/ to be in an ojhe’rs keeping ; that the quiei enevoutfnl days passed on with out anything to break their mono tony. Then Christmas, and with it a let er to Ruth, whose hand writing we knew well, and a li> lie box containing a ring. How well she loved him, my little Ruth ! How her pure child’s lace grew bright widt joy when rending his tender words I How her lips .sough often the finger where rest ed his ting w' eh she thought no pie was near. “He is coming back in tbe spring !’ I heard her murmer ; and she laughed bitterly, for very joy. at_t.be thought of happiness hat lay in his,return. Bub then spring came and, did not bring hint} the bright days flew on, aul the littlejwbite gate did not move beneath his hand ar dRu b's eyes did not gladden at his coining. Very rarely did he write. He was never a good coirespondent. I lemembered that of old, and I told her so, ki the hope that the knowled might comfort her for his si'ence. One d iy my sister, Kate, receiv ed a letter from some acquaintance who resided iu Loudon, and who, among other.tbings,] made men tion of Brian Vaughan. “He is as handsome as]-ever," as a great favorite with the wo men. They say he is engaged to a Miss Claxton, whose father is whose father is oue of die wea tlii est merchants here. I saw them together m.the Park yesterday.” Kate read ihut portion of her leltter in a quiet audible voice then rising, gently, she kissed Ruth softly, and left the room', while 1 sa< there trying hard to believe i\ h >ugli my heart grew sick at the ring of truth. She was sitting at the win dow, her head resting on her hand. “Ruth !” She lifted her sweet, pale fuse. "If imy uot be true.” She turned slightly 'o me, and smiled It was mere pitiful, that mule movement of her white lips than v tempest of tears. “I ave to right to condemn him if it is,” she said. “/1 was ißlMiabdaaßi ilir a f,r OUK OWN SECTION- WE l,Alton I'olt ITS ADVANCEMENT.

I cannot! My heart refuses to be lieve what my reason ! I prom ised I would trust hint an 1 1 will. Before 1 could answer a word she had darted past me and I said no more of her. Time passed, autumn glided in to winter, and day by day I saw my darling’s step grow lteavi r and the blithsome laughter more seldom than ever. She drew more gentle—andc o n s i d e rate- -and slowly it dawned on me that not for long she would be with us Oh, my God ! my God ! will I ev er i hose days when I watch ed her drift away front the golden shorts of her w manhood 1 Wht n Stiver yXmoinen t bet life was from 'fr<Sfn\-slow subtily —and I, witn all my pus - sionate j rayers—could prevent it ?

She could not walk far now— orly so the etui of tbe little gar den when she had often played, and where the flowers vere dying l would wrap her up watmlj, tnd talk and laugh with as if I were not aware she would soon be where my voice could never ream her. Then, one day she could not walk at all ; another came and we laid her in her little “white rose,’. oJ a room aud whon another came I knew she was dying. The flowers and I will go to gether, /times.” The setting sun glimmered in through the window and rested on her hair. 1 was setting by her side, with hot hand in mine. “It will not be long ill I cotut to you,’’ I whispered. “Ruth, per haps some angel will tell you some thing about me that will your heart with pity—something I have borne so long and whose burden has been so heavy.” ,‘A folded leaf f’she questioned softly. “Ah we, all of us, have those. It is the part of the lot of man. Theie are very few who indeed who have not some sorrow they would gladly hide away from their dearest friends. But you mnst no. think my life has been an unhappy one. Youhrve tried to fill it with gladness ; and, be lieve me, I hav« sldom had a sor rowing thought, and never one caused by you.” I stooped and kissed her, Outside the bud was setting. The room was tilled with shade ws Faint murmurs of the outer world btole upward through the si lence. “Rath,” I asked, huskily and God knows it was hard to say “would you like to see Brian Vaughan ? ’ Silence a long silence then : “Oh ! If I only could !” she whispered. Twenty four hours later I was seated in Brian Vaughan's chain bers. awaiting his return. He had gone to a ball, so his obsequious valet in wl ich i ifcrmed me ; but I was informed not to depart un billed seen him, and my pa tiencewasat last rewarded for »t day break the door epabed and they came in. jje seemed pleated to s e me aud held out his hand with gay femilili ir y. “Why /i’verite my deat fellow when did you ar ive ?” ‘Duly a few hours ago,’’ I an swered. “And what nnforseen event has shaven you out of that mouse hold at kuit.

How are they ail at home 1' His eyes avoided me as he put lie question, at.d toyed nervously with the chain of his watch, “Kate is wlll,’ I answered “Ruth,” and my voice was so quiet and cold /hat it seemed destitute of foeltug “is dying, and want t to see you,” He repeated the words after me slowly, as if he could not grasp their meaning ; then his eyes grew dark with honor ; and then thro his qUitoring lips came, a low, hoarse cry, like the moan es ani mttl in pain. “She has asked for yon,” I con intted stolidly, “and I promised I would bring you. He rose to his feet and he came over to where 1 s u. “I is a joke Events ?” he mnt tered, forcing the words ibrougu his wst/e dry lips. “It is not true .She was well aud happy wueu 1 last saw her. “Her heart was not true I entei rupted.

Yn das I watched him in spite of myself, some little piiy stole in to my heart—for I knew that in pathway of sin, sorrow walked in his footseps tnd hfs way weary in deed. Dead silence reigned in the room save for the slow monoton ous ticking of the btt.e carnage clock on th-j chimmney piece, for silence sconced the only thing we could bear. Then he raised his head he look e>l years older with that gray, ash eu hue on his face ; but he spoke very quietly, and his face was the only index of the storm that raged within. We spoke no word while the train took us back to Kinston, only once lie oroke the silence and tkßt was when we cauie with in sight ol the old familiar place and her little deg came bounding forward to meet us. He looked from the animal (which had recognized him, and was jumping around him in fran tic delight) to me with a . mute, bueationing gaze, and 1 heard him rnurmer below his breath, “Can anything she loved be had py when she is dying ?” There was a strange quietness about / ho house that sen/ a name less chill through my heart ; but when Kate met us at the door, I saw by her face that my fears were groundless. That Ruth was still alive. “Don’t make a noise !" she said. 1 think she is sleeping. Slic was lying with eyes closed but not asleep, and the slight noise we mede on entering die turbed her. .She turned, vitii the smile that sprung so lightly to his lips, and—saw him standing there. For a moment or two they looked >i! each other. Then all the pain and doubt,with which the past few months hid shadowed her soul, fell from her like a vei ; and remembering only that he was the man she loved, foe held out her arms to him, w?th a 'ow cry of “Rut li!” was all he said Then his tired head fell on her little, thin hands ; keeling there he ci led like child. “Hush,” the girl whispered in her pretty, womanly voice. It hurts me to see you in pain ! You must not cry. It is better for me t*> go, God wants me besides very lovingly) I have you now Perhaps if I were to live t should lose you.’’ “No he cried passionately, rais iug his white httggared face to to hers -. “1 will never leave you agaiu ! Ruth believe me—trust once more—and, before Gotl. I swear I w.il never again betray your trust. “I kuow you would try,” she said, softly; “but it is dittiouh for weak, huutbu nature to conqxer its inclinations; aud, (with a tiny, wistful smile,) my heart is such a foolish one, longing so much for love, that it will be better a 1 rest.” Th* long, bright day drew to a closa The light faded, and niglu’s cold, jreary mantel fell quickly cn the longing earth. “Brian,” the girl wtiispe/ed, lay iug her cheek against Ins own, be cause she oould not bear /he pits ous questioning of his eyes, ‘you will try to be a better man for my sake? I want to die in the ho|jt« that some day I will cer/ainlj meet you—for even in God’s home, I know my soul will long for yours!” Very softly he kissed ner— hough the lias that toueheh hers were qutrering with pain. “I will try he said. Then hoarsely, broakealy, he continued. • “Child, what will I do without youT Oh my God! (with a sud den awful agony)—.wnat will I do! what will { dos” Bhe laid her s until, trembling hands on his face. “Don’t! don’t!” she pathetical ly pleaded. ‘You t ust not greive! My tvs/ will not be rest if I kuow oy dying I have tilled your days with sorrow. ’ “You forgive me,” She smiled. “Yes. freely! And remember if you Imvc been tie cause of tlio only pain my heart has < ver fcl, you have been tlio cause nln, of my life's greatest joy. Those were the lasi words slm spoke to him. Od je ne kissed her, and she suiiicd—but sbe had not the pow er to speak. So we watched her, while the star:, came out in the heavens and the moonlight, stealing in through the window, bathed her in a silver iigui. All at once she lifted herself uy from her pillow, and, with a light that was not of earih on hei face, said, softly: “Look!” But we could see nothing. J bent over her. “What is it, dearj” I asked. “God's Angel!” she whispered “Stand aside and let him pass!” jdnd I drew back—awed and still. •‘Darling! darling! stay wiib ns!” Broken and piteous was Brian Vaughan’s voice; but she did not heed him; .for the sweet, brown eyes,.that had so oft grown ten der at bis coming—the smiling, red lips, that had nsver known lover’s kiss but his—were mute and still f< rever. “Ruth my love —speuk to me, if bui „o whisper oue word of for giveness!” In that anguishing cry of his pierced the clouds that separated os from the great Unknown and siole upward to her ear. I know it grieved her to give no answsi back, even if she w> reetandiu • be fort the very throne of heaven. CHAP7KB IV. COMING OUT OF THE SH..DOWS “James! James! can’t you hear mt!” Dimly the voice pierced the dull stupor that seemed to envel op my brain. Slowly I opened my eyes and behold vaguely around me. I was lying on the grass, and Ruth was kneeling besiue me. Afterwards 1 lemembured /hat in) sister and Brian Vaughan stood near, with faces fall of grave concern. But then I seemed ouly oble to realize that Kith was near me; and involuntarily I stretched out my hand and touched heres It was warm and living. Then ■he was not dead? aud I——— JOHN T.

I seem ed to have lost die power of speech. I could only ga/.e, with a mute thankfulness in my eyes. “You must have fainted Ev eriite,” saidVanghan. quie/>y, “and iiiitt ia a stupor a long time—for it was late beiore you we. e miss id, and wo had some ,it tie difficul ty iu finding you.” I rose Slowly to my feet. I was as weak as a child, and but for uis timely help would have lal 'en. “I saw you leave the bridge,” I said; “go I must have lost con sciousness just after that. And ye/,” I added, with a quick, invol untary shudder, “1 was conscious all the time; for 1 lied a vision—a dream—or what you will—ihe horror of which was so realistic that in that brief while I suffered years of anguish." Uutb turned and put her hands hi mine in silent sympathy. Then for once all my dear bought le erve gave way, and with a low. cry cf gratitude I folded her to my heait. * Thank (foil! it was only a dream!" 1 said “Child I thought wo had lost yon ” Before Brian Vaughan left that night, I told him cf my vision. He listened in silence. Then he said: “Everitte Ido love her—(»od only knows how much!
