Oh, mother, mether—if I could only die r At the same moment Cynthia was pacing her none, sleepless and pale, fighting a hard Mille with herself. She had euddenly come to a great crisis In her life. How would she pass through it? Would she be noble and generoue ? Would she realise that grand ideal whioh she had always upheld and believed In, now that the maoritioe was to be all her own 7 Would ahe bear the crucial test offered her—he whose enthusium for the noble and the generous had hitherto been her badge and watchward 7 For a while ehe doubted her- ealf ; and the anguieb of her own failure was the worst pain of all—worm than mortified pride and wounded feeling and the uproot- ing of all the settled conditions whioh had made life an secure. In her heart she knew that the wrong to her had not been wilful, Only a few minutes ago she had bent over her friend's white face and tent:led it with her lips, knowing there hed been no breach- ery there' merely an innocent eupplanting, at whichCynthia, in the humility of her true generous nature, wondeted little, see- ing hew fair and sweet a type of woman - load it was which had taken her pima. Cynthia could read Leonard like a book new that she had found the key; and she knew that from her the renunciation must come of the tacit agreement which would scarcely have bound a less honourable man, She Bald to herself proudly that he was free, that he had never been bound. But could see say it nobly, generously 7 Could she make the surrender to that it sheuld net leek like surrender? Could she forgive se that none should guess it was forgiveness? It was a sharp struggle; but Mae question was answered at last; and she threw herself upon her bed and slept the sleep of utter ex- haustion. A couple ot miles beyond Pe/mewl' C ode the one which bound the coast run out aharply into a reeky point, washed by the restless waves and crumbled into a long dark line ef j egged, broken fragments stretching out to sea, and covered at high tide by the water. On the afternoon will& followed their anxious night, Miss Devotee and Cynthia were eittb3g en a boulder of rook at the ex- treme edge of the point, looking towards the sunset, The waves washed with a "dull sound against the feet of the cliff ; the lead en water beyond was hardly stirred by a breath of wind; sullen °lends hung heavily over the horizen, and a pale gleam ej prim- rose light struggled wanly through the dark curtain, changing into rose -colour and pre- sently deepening into stormy crimson, whioh spread blood -red over the pale -gray water. " There is a storm coming up," Cynthia said, looking eut to Bea. S60 hew low the gulls and curlews fly, and what a flatter and ohatter they keep up; and how the stormy donde are piled up above the set- ting sun 1 It will be wild weather by -and. by. She said this because she saw another storm threatening in the pale face beside her—because she dreaded and would keep back unspoken :verde which she felt instil- a- tively had been trembling on these white lips all through the silent walk. But nothing could keep them back now, Mise Deveton'a hands graaped Cynthia's arm; the words, mingled with sobs and tears, came like the rush of a pent-up flood. "Cynthia—Mise Keith—yen must hear my story, toy miserable story. I cannot bear its burden any long,r. I cannot live with a secret between us which would make you turn away from me if you knew it I" She saw Cynthia blanch, and she cevered her faoe as she hurried en with her history. And then she waited with bowed head and averted eyes fer Cynthia's judgment. There was a moment of silence, eniy a moment; and then Mies Keith'arms en- circled the trembling ghl ; the golden head was drawn down to a safe resting -place, and a voice, full of that tenderness whioh be- came stately Cynthia se well, whispered to the half -fainting girl— " My poor child 1 My dear child 1 Stay with us, and let us comfort and help you. We will not let you go," Then, as the two turned homewards, clinging to each other in renewed love and confidence, the firat muttering of the breed- ing storm came aorose the leaden waste of waters, the first distant flash rent the black - edged cloud. But it was towards the morning that the storm broke at last, a funeral north-westerly gale, beating fiercely against the closed °moments of the Castle'shrieking and wail ing, like a• despairing ollortia of lost souls, around the solid walls and iron -bound por- tals, tearing and stripphig the shuddering branches of the great oaks and elms in the park. For hours it raged ; ancT when the small home -party met for breakfaet the storm had scarcely abated. Lady Keith shivered ever the warm comforts of her lux - miens table and sighed. " I fear there will be disaster en the sea this wild morning," she said, " Yea," replied Cynthia, " I can see from nsy window the waves tootling and rearing like wild horses. Miss Doveten— Leonard—will y en ride down to Mawr Point and see the breakers clash in It will be high tide at ten e'olocle," "Surely," interrupted timid Lady Keith, "you will not venture oat in auch weather !

Fatv word. were spoken as the three rode rapidly through the perk, where a giant elm, which had been worsted in Its wrestle with the fieroe wind, lay, with its spreading roots upreared and bared, right morose their path. Shewere of leaves fell at their horses' feet, and swept whirling into their fame, They pressed on, urgiag the animals to their utmost speed, and listening, through the bursts of the unconquered tempest, for the solemn repetition et the signed gun. Presently flecks of snowy foam, mingled with duet mai dead haves, blew into their fame, And when they turned the shoulder of the hill whioh lay between them and the 008811 their heart/learned to stand still be- fore one of the grandest, solemnest, saddest eights in this sorrowful world. Close in upon the shore the .now -white breakers churned and dashed in a wild tri- umph of lawlees might; and just beyond, showing blackly against their whitsnese, lay the doomed vessel—a large steamer. She lay breedeide on to the cnuel rooks, r o near the shore that the shrieks of the passengers crowding her deck could be heard -above the din ef the tempest and the rear of the breaking waters—so near that, but for that hissing barrier, a rope could have saved the feeblest amongst them. Wave after wave was breaking over her, sweeping eaoh one its tale of victims into the white foaming gulf, to beat the life out ef them there, al- though ia raeroiless exultation over human impotence. It was a lonely inhopitable coast—far from help; and only a few women huddled together milder shelter ot the cliff, and a few men scattered along the beach, looked help- lessly en at the catastrophe. Into the midst of these Cynthia, who was teremost, dashed breathless, crying imperatively— "A beat—a boat Will none of you try to reach them? Men, can you stand by and see them perieh ?" "There isn't a life beat nearer than Mawr, and that would be too late—she's breaking up now. And what but the lite - beat could live five seconds in enoh a sea 7" one of the elder men answered, Even as he spoke a huge wave struck the vessel ; she rolled ominously, and slid from the treacherous rocks ; and, when the blinding spray cleared, the seething craters were strewn with black struggling figures. At this sight Mies Deveton, with a great cry, covered her fa,oe with her hands; and Leonard Hope, catching at the dropped reins, turned her hastily back up the pebbly elope they had just descended. et Se Selaastienis haunts us in seine ehene f r other. look at Oils," ite put the pocket -book vehlohnhe eurgeon hen handed to him into her bendy.

It was the register of the death of Marie Dater:no Danvers aged 23, en the 254h et Jane 1S7--, Viola, St, Jerome. The date seemed to barn itself into her brain. Then she had wronged him • she had been deceived, as he said, by a trick. And he lay there, close to her, cruelly wounded --dying, through her fault, Instantly the peroeivee that he had periehed in bringing her this vindloetion of himself. 5 mebody had aaia, she remembered dimly, that the wreoked vessel was a large West Indian steamer with passengers. D:wzy and faint as she was, the whole story pieoed Itself to. gather betere her, and she was stricken with bitter self neproach, "Let me go to him -1 must see him 1" she exclaimed. "Take me to him 1" "You ?" Leonard gasped. " en" she answered, with a shudder ; —I am his wife 1" * * * "Poor child 1 It has been a terrible blow, She is quite overwhelmed. If he could only have epoken to her onoe more 1" Mra. Da. lamaine was saying, with her handkerchief to her eyes."Dia r Lady Keith, it is a tragical ending to a Most happy marriage. My poor daughter is completely over- whelmed 1" Indy Keith only bowed her head gently. Mrs. Dalamaine was quite unoonscione of the truth. No one had had time, in the oonfusion ant distraint when ohs arrived on the Keene, to make any explanation, and new no one had any inolination to enlighten her. So she talked en of her dead sen -in- law's virtues, of hh devotion, and of her daughter's heavy lose, unoontradloted. "Alter such brief happiness to be a widew at eighteen," the mother lamented—"a rich widow too, which is almost an additional trial, He has left her the whole of his for- tune. Nothing cored exceed hie liberality, excepting his attachment to her, "Poor child 1" Lady Keith echoed with genuine sympathy, thhaking hew her riches same to the young widow weighted with a bitter lead of self-repreaoh. Mrs. Delatraine, unenlightened, quitted Penmawr Chile with many polite speeohee to its boatmen, and took with her a pale silent widew, whose Hp never opened in her own bome en the subject of her husband. Sooiety heard the story, after Mrs. Dale,- maine's version, and eympatnised and was interested, espeolealy as there was a large fortune concerned. Cynthia was still staunch and true to her friend. When the Christmas festivitiee were over at Penmawr, she and Lady Keith would carry Eve Danvers away to sunny Italy to reorult her health And bring back her roses. And perhaps Leonard might join them there. Well, the wound oeuld not be very deep, since Cynthia was ;letting thus, and delighting hermit in her own plans) But there was one person—and only. ene —in the drama, whe was net satisfied to cover up the memory of the man whose death had planted such a sting in the heart ef Eve. Leonard Elope remembered another Marie Dalerme Danvers—a speotater with him of that weddleg precession whioh had played ao strange a part la all thew lives since. And, conneiling that sad pathetic face and sudden death with the hietery Cynthia had confided to him, he found the olne to the truth. It moat have been a more than common interest which carried him, still en the traok aoressito St. Jerome and brought him face to face with Cmile Lacroix. "And my veorde followed him 1" mid the implacable Frenehwoman. "Now my darl- ings may rest in peace. They are avenged," • * * And ete it happened that 'thither of them saw what came next—how Cynthia, en °enraging her gallant beset with word and tenoh, daehed down the beach and rsde d Aunties/ley through the raging surf.: A beanie cheer buret upon the Arend, and a shrill ory, "Heaven bless her 1" pierced the air, as Cynthia, rode up s' out of the jest's ef death," with a dozen desperate hands clinging to her horse and an infan lying across her knee. "The woman mak as she handed it up to me. Take care ef it," she said quietly, a she gave it te one of the women. Then she dropped from her saddle down amongst those waifs rescued from Death' dread dominion, and busied herself straight way In ministering to them. It was a mcianty harvest, gleaned after th Great Rsaper ; but it was all that wa gathered that day from that full field. A woman, wild-eyed, and well nigh spent; a young girl white aa a lily; a little dark -hair ed bay, who cried out, as they set him on his feet, for his father and his mother ; couple of rough sailors in coarse serge and homely bluentriped shirts; and another man, of a different stamp, in fine linen and soft -woven tweed, who was bleeding from a ghastly wound over his temple. And this last had his fingers so tightly clenched in the horse's fl /wing mane that the men were forced to cut the long hair away to set him free, "He's ab' ut done fen Pity a livelier one hadn't been in his piece !" said el113 of the bystanders, as he helped to lay him down in the shelter of the cliff and tried t etiolate the gaping wound. "The rooks have &meet battered the life out of him. He's a gentleman; and he couldn't stand it so well as the other ohaps. Bat here comes the doctor, by good luck, He'll look to him." - The eurgeon was bending over him when Leonard Hope, set free from his cares for the others, drew near. The man was still unconecieue, lying In a deathlike stupor; the wound was bound with a lerge orimson handkerchief, the features were overspread with a ghastly inhere Leonard looked down upon him with unrecognising eyes. The doctor drew him aside, "It is a hopelem cam, I fear," he said. "Perhaps you had better take charge' of this" --offering him a pooket-boont It may give some information as to his name or friends.

On a reoent Friday Grace Darling% only sister died in her little home under the shadow of Demboraugh Castle, within sound of the wild waves that beat against Hely Island and the rook that wrecked tbe Forfarshire, The simple and pious old lady to the last, like the heroine herself, could not understand why so much had been said about the plain aot of duty whioh made the family name immortal. She has been laid in the seaside churchyard, close to tlae Me- ter who died so young forty years ago, and whose marble effigy lies in the sea wind and onn, with her oar upon the folded arm.

The Rushee were Christian people and Mole readere, but he seemed to know verses where they knew linea. He had visited all the principal cities in America, and the long evenings were spent In telling them of the sights he had Seen and the adven- tures he had peened through, Nothing had been said asi te pay, and the Ruhee - did not know whether he had money or waa pennilem. The'noret of his preeenoe was preserved from the neighbors, who were daily in and out, and as he grew better Skeillog boasted that the man who tried te kill him in cold bleed world soon be hunted down and justly punished. One evening, as the three sat talking, there came a strange knook at the doer. Skelling had time to get up stairs before it was answered. The traveller proved to be a detective from Toronto, on the track of a trio of criminals who had committed several robberies in and about that city. Their hurt exploit had been the ROBBERY OF A TREASURE CEEdT belonging to a band of fifty Norwegian im- migrants going te the States. The trunk had been taken from the midet of them as they sat in the depot, and had not been missed until the men were well off. They had been tracked to several plum and it was believed they had out soros the country in a rig atolen from a farmer. The rig had subsequently been found aban- doned by the roadside.

The deteotive was in the house about an hour, and when he was ready to depart he discovered that the horse and buggy which he had left at the gete had been stolen, Rash lent him a saddle horse, and, after a search up and down the country roads, the offices( re- turned to town in no agreeable frame ef mind, When Rash went up stairs to give hie guest the news THE MIN HAD DISAPPEARED, having opened the window and climbed down en a shed. There ayes ne queation but he had taken the deteotive's rig, and, although the Rashes were rather slowwit- ted, it did not take them long to come to the conclusion that they had freely and generously entertained one of the criminals, rimy were,however, in no mood to betray the font to the world, and in a few days the excitement eubeided, and nothing further W a ,aid or done. It was nearly five yeara after the stranger left the farm house that Rush one day re- ceived a letter from the prison at Joliet, Mich,, asking him to come at once and ask tor a conviot named William O'Neill. He went, and he found the man in the hospi- tal end dying of cononmption. 0 Neill proved to be Skelling. Farther than that he aoknowledged that he was one of the robbers whe stole the nervier° chest of the immigrants. They were proceeding actress the country, and get into an altercation within about a mile of Rush's place, with the result that 0 Neill:was shot, After his etioape from the farm house he visited variety, States, continuing his criminal career, and was finally jugged at Joliet on a fifteen yearn sentence, He had not forgot- ten tho kindness shown him at the farm house, and he was now ready te repay it.
