THE HtliON at the sound of her voiceaand tram-. Avid her with a questioning look. But ee a moment he said.: epee -don me, madame, a thousand times. The sound of your voice so re- minded me of a friend I have lost, that I looked up involuntarily." The woman responded with good- natured assurances that he had not at all alarmed her. Meanwhile', Randall had &n opportunif to notice that in site of the thick- aisted and generally matronly figure, there were, now he came to look closely, several rather marked resemblances to Ida. The eyes were of the Same blue tint, though shout half as large, the cheeks being twice as full. In spite of the ugly style of dressing it, he saw also that the hair wee like Ida's, and as for the nose, that feature which changes least, it might have been taken out of Ida's own face. As may be supposed, he was thoroughly disgusted to be reminded of that sweet girlish vision by this broadly molded, comfortable -looking matron. His ro- mantic mood waS ecattered for that evening at least, and he knew he shouldn't get the prosaic suggestions of the unfortunate resemblance out of his. mind for a week at least. It would tor- ment him as a humorous association spoils a sacred hymn. He bewed with rather an ill grace, and was about to retire, when a cer- tain peculiar turn of the neck as the lady acknowledged his salute, caught his eye and turned hien to stone. Good. God this woman was Ida! He stood there in a condition of men- tal paralysis. The whole fabric of his thinking and feeling for months of in- tense emotional experience had instant- ly been annihilated, and he was left in the midst of a great void in his con- sciousness out of touching reach of any- thing. There was no sharp pang, but jest a bewildered numbness. A few filaments only of the romantic feeliug for Ida that filled his mind a moment before still lingered, floating about it, unattached to anything, like vague neu- ralgic feelings in an amputated stump, as if to remind him of what had been there. All this was as instantaneous as 'a galvanic shock -the moment be had re- cognized—let us not say Ida, but this evidence that she was no more. It oc- curred to him that the W01118.11, who stood staring at hinnwas ircommon po- liteness entitled to some explanation. He was in just that state of mind when the only serious interest having sudden- ly dropped out of the life, the minor conventionalities loom up as peculiarly important and obligatory. "Yon were Fraulein Ida Werner, and lived at No. strasse in 1866, nicht wahr 7" He spoke in a cold, dead tone, as if making a iaecessary, but distasteful, ex- planation to a stranger. "Yes, truly," replied the woman, curiously.; "but nay name is now Frau Stein," glancing at the children, who had been staring open-mouthed at the queer man. "Do von remember Karl Randall? I am he." The most formal of old acquaintances could hardly have recalled himself in a more indifferent .manner. "Herr Gott int Himmel ." exclaimed the women with the liveliest surprise and interest. "Karl ! Is it possible. Yes, now I recognize you. Surely ! surely !" She clapped one hand to her bosom, and dropped on the bench to recover herself. Fleshy people, overcome by agitation, are .rather disagreeable ob- jeets. Randall -stood lookina ?' at her with a singular expression ofaversion on his listless face. But, after pant- ing a few times, the woman recovered her vivacity and began to ply lift(' vig- oronsly with- exclamations and ques- tions, beaming the while with delighted interest. He answered her like a school bov, too destitute of presence of mind to -do otherwise than to yield passively toiler impulse. But he made no inquiries whatever of her, and did not distantly allude to the reason of his presence in G-ernaany. As he stood there lookiag at her, the real facts about that matter struck him as so ab- surd and incredible, that he couldn't be-' Hove them incase lf. Pretty soon he observed that she was becoming a little conscious in her air, and giving a slightly sentimental turn - to the couversation. It was not for some time that he saw her drift, so ut- terly without connection in his mind were Ida and this comfortable matron before him , and when he did, a smile at the exquisite absurdity of the thing barely twitched the corners of his mouth, and ended. in at sad, puzzled stare that rather put the other out of couuten a u oe. But the children had now for some time been whimpering for supper and home, and at length Fran Stein rose, aud, with mu urgent request that Ran - de -11 should can on her and see her husband, bade him a cordial adieu. lie stood there watching her out of sight with an 111300118C10118 smile of the most refined and subtle cynicism. Then be sat down aud stared vacantly at the close cropped grass on the opposite side of the path. By what handle should he lay hold of his thoughts? That woman could not retroact and touch the memory of Ida. That dear vision remained intact. He drew forth his locket and. opening it gazed passion- ately at the fair girlish face, now so hopelessly passed away. By that blessed picture he could hold her and defy the woman. Remembering that fat, jolly, comfortable matron, he should not at least ever again have -to reproach himself with his Gruel treatment of Ida. And. yet why not ? What had the wo- man to do with her ? She had suffered as much as if the woman had not for- gotten it all. His reckoning was with Ida—was with her. Where should he fuel her? In what limbo could he im- agine her ? Ali, that was the wildering cruelty of it. She was not this woman, nor was she dead, iu any conceivable natural way so that her girlish spirit might have remained eternally fixed. She was nothing. She was nowhere. She only existed in this locket and her only BOul was iu his heart, far more surely than in this woman who had forgotten her. Death was a hopeful, cheerful state compared to that nameless nothingness that was her portion. For had she been dead he could still have loved her soul ; but now she had. none. The soul that once she had, and if she had then disd, might have kept, had been for- feited by living on and had passed to this woman, and would from her pass on further till finally fixed and vested in the decrepitude of age by death. So then it was death and not life that se- cured the soul, and his sweet Ida had none because she had not died in time. Ahi had not he heard BOMO* e7i that the soul is immortal and neer dies? Where then was Ida's? She •aid dis- appeared utterly out of the universe. She had been transformed, 1 estroyed, swallowed up in this woman, a -living' sepulchre, more cruel than t e grave, for it devoured the Kull as we 1 as the body. Pah! this prating abou immor- tality was absurd, oonvicted . f , mean- inglessness before a tragedy 1 ke this ll; for what was an immortalith I worth that was given to her lastdecrepit phase of life, after all its bea • ty and strength and loveliness ha• passed sonless away 2, To be aug • t but a mockery immortality must be s' mane - fold as the manifold phases Of life. Since life devours so many so is, why suppose death will spare the 1: :t one? But he would contend with destiny. Painters should multiply the face in his locket. He would immor alize her in a poem. He would oonsta tly keep the lamp trimmed and burnin - before her shrine in his heart. Sh should live in spite of the woman. But he could now never mak amends to her for the suffering his c (II, neg- lectful youth had caused her. He hag scarcely realized before how rich the longing to make good that w ong had influenced his quest of her. ears of remorse for an unatonable cri e gath- ered in his eyes. He might in eed enl- rich this woman, or educate er chil- dren, or pension her husband ; but that would be no atonement to Ida. I - And then as if to intensify that re- morse by showing still more clearly the impossibility of atonement, il flashed on him that he who loved Ida was not the one to atone for an offense of which he would be incapable, which had been committed. by one who des lied her love. Justice was a meaninglise word, and amends were never possi le, nor can men ever make atonement ; fot, ere the debt is paid, the atoneme t made, one who is not the sufferer sands .tie receive it, while, on the other ia1ka, the one who atones is not the offender, but one who comes after him, loaf 1oatiiug hi a offence and himself incapabl H of it. The dead must bury the detd. And thus pondering from personal t general thoughts, the turmoil of his feeling gradually calmed and a restfu melan- choly, vague and tender, flied th aching void in his heart.— , cribner' Monthly.
