I was silent; so we stayed yet longer.

rose early. I was making tea, Zillah

he rose up once to throw a handful of
crumbs to a half -tame thrush that had
built its a laurel -bush on the lawn -he
was always so kind to every living
thing!
''There, my fine bird, take some food
home to your wife and weans!" said he,
pleasantly; but at the words, became
crave, even sad, once more. Ile had
his letters beside him. and opened
them successively until he came to one
—a momentous one, I knew, for though
he never moved, but read quietly on,
every ray of color faded out of his face.
Ile dropped his head upon his hand, and
sat so long in that attitude that we
were both frightened.
"Is anything the matter?" I said,
gently, for Zillah was dumb.
"Did you speak?" he answered, with
abewildering stare. "Forgive me; I—
have had bad news"—anti he tried to
resume the duties of the meal;•but it
was impossible; he was evidently
crushed, as even the strongest and
bravest men will befor the moment un-
der some great and. unexpected shock.
We said to him—Irepeat we, because,
though Zillah spoke not, her look was
enough, had he seen it—we said to him
those•few soothing things that women
can, and ought to say in such a time.
"Aye," he answered, quite unmanned
—"aye. you are very kind. I think it
would do me good if I could speak to
some one -Cassia, will you come?"
He rose slowly, and held out his hand
to me. To mel That proof of his con-
fidence, his tenderness, his friendship.
I have ever after remembered, and
thought, with thankful heart, that,
though not made to give him happiness,
I have sometimes done him °alittle good
when he wasin trouble.
We walked. together from the room.
I heard a low sob behind us, but had no
power to stay; besides a momentary
pang mattered little to the child -her
sobs would be hushed erelong.
Standing behind the chair where be
sat, I heard the story of Mr. Slither -

door. There he paused, as though to
excuse his going.
"I ought to thank her, you know. It

His voice ceased, broken by emotion.
Once more he held out his band; I
grasped it, and Red. •'(log"

folded her round; his face, all radiant,
yet tremblingpwith tenderness, was
pressed

t the last
sentence, as, growing older, one feels
the more how rarely and how solemnly
the holy Name ought to be mingled
with any mere burst of human emotion.
But I think the Ali -merciful One would
pardon it then. Of course no reader
will marvel at my showing emotion
over the union of these my two dearest
objects on earth.
From that union I can now truly say
I have derived the greatest comfort of
my life. They were married quickly,
as I urged; Mr. Sutherland settling his
wife's whole property upon herself.
This was the only balm his manly pride
could know, and no greater proof could
he give of his passionate love for her,
than that he humbled himself to marry
an heiress. As to what the world
thought, no one could ever suspect the
shadow of mercenary feeling in An-
drew Sutherland. All was as it should
be—and so best.
After Zillah's marriage, Itook a situ-
ation abroad. Mr. Sutherland was very
angry when he knew; but I told him I
longed for the soft Italian air, and could
not live an idle life on any account. So
they let me go, knowing, as he smiling-
ly said, "That Cassia could be obstinate
when she chose—that lier • will, like her
heart, was as firm as •a rock." • Ah me!
When I.came back, it was to a calm,
contented and clleetful middle age; to
the home 'of'a•dear brother and sister;
to the love of a newgeneration; to a
life filled with peace .of heart and
thankfulness toward God; to-- •

moustache. almost hiding his thin,

and deep-set, piercing in the intensity
of thein blackness, while they darted
about so restlessly, and with such a
sinister expression, that I instinctively
felt a dislike to him before I had been
fairly presented. This bad impression
speedily wore off as I entered into con-
versation with him, when I found him
one of the most accomplished
talkers I
had ever met. There was no subject I
could touch upon but what he was per-
fectly at home, and could outtalk me
twice over."
"Ile must have been remarkable."
Ned smiled as he responded, "I see
you do remember me, after all." -
"Yes,- but go old."•
"As I was saying, this man was so
entertaining that I soon forgot my half -
formed prejudices. and was completely
charmed by his manner. As time ran
along, and we met ata number of social
events, I became quite intimate with
him. My artist friend noticed this, and
did not appear to sanction it.
"'I don't half like that black French-
man of yours, Pierce,' he said to me
one day, while I' was watching him at
work en his studio.
'Why?'
'O, I
""fancy he is not exactly a fair
and square man. I may be wrong, but
he don't impress me at all favorably.'
"So thoroughly infatuated had I be-
come with him that I laughed Pierre -
poet's fears to the winds. I was sure
he was all right. Why, such a jolly
good fellow could not be very bad at
heart!
"It was one evening inearl May that
found me at the last of the club recep-
tions for the season. As usual, my
olive -hued Dupres was there, as smiling
and voluble as ever. During the even-
ing, which seemed more than usually
gay, I wandered into the almost desert-
ed smoking -room, and sinking into an
easy -chair, was soon enveloped in a
cloud of smoke, and deep in a brown
study.
"'A penny for your thoughts, my
friend.'
"I looked Up, and there was Dupres,
leaning in a careless attitude aggainst
one of the window casements. 'Ahl:it's

" 'Leave? Is monsieur going away'

estate, he was naturally inclined to
take life easy, and when I said fare-
weil he was starting on his first trip
across the water, while I turned backto
my business in the crowded streets of
the great city. Duringthese six years
I had lost all track of im, and indeed,
had not thought of him for some time.
I had been quite prosperous in my un-
dertakings, and was now manager of
the Paris branch of our banking -house,
with a moderate fortune laid by for the
traditional "rainy day."
As we arrived at our destination Ned
expressed a decided approval ore my
apartments, with repeated words of ad-
miration. "Yes," I acquiesced, "it is
very comfortable here."
"Have you any engagement for this
evening?" he asked as we arose from
the dinner -table.
"Nothing imperative."
"Then come with me."
"Where:"'
"To the opera."
I had no objections, and at once
agreed to it, although I cared enough to
inquire what was to be stung that even-
ing.
You asked me on our wily home
what I had been doing with myself for
the last six years," he said. "Come
with nee to -night, and after the opera I
will tell you my story.". ,
We went. I found that he had a box
already engaged, and the usher led the
way to it, at the right hand of the stage,
when he retired as silently as he
came.
It was the familiar opera of "La Tra-
