Little Trot was really named j Georgiana Jones, hut the name was too long tm*her. She was a little dumpling with blue eyes and yellow hair, and round rod cheeks; and little Isaac Jacobs, who lived next door to her, ad mired her exceedingly. Little Isaac had big black eyes and a skin like a hazel-nut, and a large round nose. He was ten and Trot was live; and Isaac made up his mind that he was in love witli Trot, and that when they were old enough they would be married. One day he said this to his sis ter Rachel, who instantly shook her head and her black curls fu riously and cried out— ‘Oh, no, no, that could never be; your religions are different. *No one can marry a person of a Idi fie rent religion. I could not ac j cept the hand of Mr Smith, the | baker over the same way, but I lam now engaged, as everybody | knows, to Mr. Moses, who is in the Jewelry business. You see it can nover be; Isaac. But there is little Mariam.' Then she laughed and told her mother of the good joke ; but it was no joke to Isaac. That afternoon he climbed up over the fence and called softly to Trot: ‘Trot, come here.’ Trot came. She held Iter big doll in one hand and a stick of peppermint in the other, and she was glad to see Isaac, for they been parted an age -at least twenty-four hours. ‘Come over and play,’ she said. ‘I can’t, he said. ‘Father said I must go off on an errand; but 1 j wanted to ask you have you any religion ?’ Trot ran away and said ‘no’ to him, and he went on the errand with a grave countenance. That night after he went to bed lie thought of it a good deal. His | sister Rachel was reading aloud in the next room. The story was all about love and romance, and suddenly these words caught Isa ac’s ear; ‘Their cruel parents objected to the union and refused their con sent. ‘Never -never will I sub mit to them,’ said Theodore. ‘I will bear my Elvira away from them all, and we will dwell togetli upon some lonely island where j stony hearted age cannot vex us. Come, my Elvira, our boat is ready. Away.’ ' ‘Just, what lie should have done I cried Rachel by way of comment, j Isaac sat up in bed—-a new idea had entered his mind. He might, after all, elope with l Trot. Down on the shore of the river many boats lay, and a sloop stopped once a week, and a steam er often came in sight. He knew there were islands not far away. Why should he I wait to become a man ? He would i elope with Trot tomorrow. If it was right lor Theodore, ; who was a public character, be I ing in a book, it was assuredly right for him,'and he fell asleep thinking of it. He awoke thinking of it too, and at !1 o’clock, having carefully folded two slices of bread and butter in paper, stuffed bis pock ; ets full ot pears and tied a sitil ling he possessed in a corner of his itankercliief, he went in search of Trot?, whom he found rocking her doll upon the little atone step of the garden. “Trot,” he said, “will you come and take a walk ?” •Yes,” said 'Trot, and put her hand into his. Her mother sniil ed and nodded from the window. Hhe alvyays felt m|ite sale abopt Trot when Isaac wan with kef, 'They vanished outot her sight band in hand, and little did she guess the plans in little Isaac's mind, or know that at that mo ment he was saying to Trot : “Trottv, dear, wouldn’t you like to go away and live tprevei , on a beautiful like Elvira and TliCi.^^BgjP^ l asked Tco! , ' Look 111'!’ . ■■A c >in c No elopi’ W ft (M- ; ■ f kind'" SQM ■ 8 < 1 • aiggfrSyjtgfcTit and [111! !u qMBBHHSHKSpPK band and t uel. ' h<T arm lie gallantly led hem wharf, along which at that mo mold people with picnic baskets were flocking on board of a steamer.' ‘AH aboard for Muskadee Is land?’ cried a man with a bell, and Isaac helped Trot across the plank. ‘Who pays for you, where’s your folks !’ yelled another man who was taking tickets. Isaac pointed towards the point at which theroof of his house were visible. The man fancied that lie had indicated a fat lady with a bask et, and said ; •All right.’ And Isaac instantly dragged Trot into the thick of the crowd, and in live minutes more the boat had left the wharf, and 'ftot and Isaac were on their way to the romantic island of the boy’s dreams. The sail was delightful. Trot was amused by the sight of the people, the sparkling water, the dancing boat upon it. Isaac was delighted. About noon the Muskadee Is land was reached. 'The crowd hurried on shore and Trot was instantlv conveyed bv Isaac to a green spot, where the two sat down together, quite a happy family, with the doll be tween them. •Isn iic : (•< (' asked Isaac. ‘Yes,’said Trot.‘l want mv din ner.’ Isaac at once produced the ; bread and butter and Ihe pears, they feasted. After this Trot fell asleep. Isaac took oil'his jacket and put it under her head. Then lie threw stones into the water Tor a long while and finally lay down upon the grass and fell asleep also; He was awakened by piercing shrieks from ’Trot and started up in horror. 'The sun was setting. The steam | boat was not to be seen ; no more i people were eating and drinking on the grass; there was neither dancing nor singing, The picnic party had sailed a j way. Isaac was alone with his ! Trot upon a bountiful islatiu, but ! somehow his bliss was not ait j great as lie bad imagined that ii j would be. And how 'Trot cried. I—l- -want my mamma ! I-I want my mamma! shrieked 'Trot. ‘Take me home to my—my mam mu.’ ‘Don’t you want to stay with me, 'Trot ?! he asked, piteously. ‘1 want my mamma! 1 want my papa! I want my supper?’ shriek ed Trot. Isaac was in despair, but he bethought him of the picnic ground, and there gathered up the relics of the lea-iL —bite of sponge-cake j scraps of cold chick en, and cakes. lie spread them before 'Trot. 'The child was hungry; the food quieted her forawhile; bul the tWo made short work of it, and the tears Tell again, and the cries began again, and now she want ed not only her mamma and pa pa, but her grandma and her ba by brother, while lie began to feel that after all, she was not such good company as brother He liny and cousin Moses, and to remember that at this hour the fish were Trying for supper in the home tkifelien. If the boat had been still tit j the island ,Y. would instantly have con * * her aboard, but there was no wav of leaving the j plate. 11a now rnnombaied that pre-, j visions the P iTo in " 1 • chibl \\a- in• t It; ,t‘ He Ii nii find was she Lost in Drowned 111 t lie el. &■■■ - •'Trot, Trot ! he in vain.’ ,!• It grew perfectly dark and thunder and lightenig to Hash. Then the rain beat down. ‘Trot, Trot!’ shrieked Isaac, in despair. For hours he roamed about, striking against trees in the dark, tripping, stumbling, w t to the skin. ‘At lasi,," he ciied in a horrible voice. lie looked up. A tall, black thing stood before him, He fell sure that it was the ghost that haunted the island and fell upon his face in tlie mud. Meanwhile Mrs. Jones had miss ed Trot and Mrs. Jacobs hud be gun to wonder where Isaac was. The two mothers compared notes. A search was begun. At sunset the respective members eT the two famlies and all their friends and relations were scout ing the country or having hvster ics at home Rumors of all sorts were afloat. They were drowned murdered carried a way. It appeared to both mothers most likely that people who were envious of such chei litis: had been lying in wait, for there offspring for days. The inhabitants of the village were rather pleased at the thought of a real tragedy. 'The guardians of the law advised the shreiking mothers * to keep cool,’ and were evidently suspicious that they had killed them them selves and felt a great longing to arrest all parties. ’The evening passed. Night came. 'The rain beat upon the village. Old Ot a mil at her I'oke mightily interested in the news stood by the tavern door and every now and then said • Cunts. Finally at 10 o’clock he deliv ered himself of these words: ‘ When I see urn at the picnic they were as safe and well as any ol um. Midi is life.’ ‘ At the picnic!’ shriekefl a jfemale relative of the missing Trot. • Where ? What ? 'Tell me. I ’ ‘ 'To the picnic at .Muskadee Is land,’ replied Poke. ‘As I was a coming away with mv basket I see um both asleep on the grass, as well as any of um.' After this several people re numbered that, they had seen Isaac, throwing stones into the water, witli a forlorn hope enter ed a boat at once and rowed through the rain to Muskadee. It was just a black mass in the 'moonless night. ’The lightning Hashed ami the thunder rolled over it. It. was hard to make a lauding, hard to bear each other’s voices,’ but the mother’s ear is sharp. 'The poot little women who had come with the men because they could not stay at home listened intently. ‘ Hark!’ cried Mrs, Jacobs. •I hoar something. it is Isaac’s voice -be i , calling Trot.' But Mrs, Jones beard something else. She scarcely wailed lor a sate footing - she rushed wildly to wardes the sound. • Mamma, mamma !’. There yonder glimmered some thing white. (Jio.fi down by the water stood Homciiiing that moved, and from it come the little shrill voice. ‘1 want iiiwuima-i want pupa !' [No! find ii<■ i<l Ii fc\' l ii U L. ) "u --' \h-. u Ac But rain and hunger and ’InPIW | yells had robbed Isaac of roman j t ic fancies. He was now utterly ashamed I of t hem.

Tins alarm ed bis friends, by whom he was greatly beloved ; in fact, lie was the general pet. of the regiment, being a warm hearted and genial ! comrade, often livening tlie dull I routine of regimental life by his | merry humor and boyish pranks. After some weeks of total pros ) ration t lie fatal verdict of ‘•de cline” was given by bis medical attendant, and, anxious to give a last chance of recovery to one so I young and so amiable, tlie (Jener al in command sent him a 'sick certificate to thence to England ter due examination by the Meilq ical Board. 'That no cafe or alien tiou might be wanting on bis journey, a regimental surgeon a, very dear friend, sent with him. In due lime this officer rc joined tin- leginient, icporling that his young patient had borne the fatigue of the journey better than could have been expected ; that lie had himself seen him on hoard of a homeward bound ves| sel, and that every possible com ] fort had been provided for Uii passage, the surgeon of the having taken the especial clr.irgtf i of him.
