VII. "Stephanie will recover !" This sentence was ringing through Stephen Castl 'is brain like bells of joy, as he Welked up a cl down his study, his haggard face ill rnivated again with something of the hope ajid cour- age which had been 'absent from it for so many days.-- Mr. Loring had just left him, having rushed in, almotit wild with excite- ment and the reactioiafter the suspense, to tell him that the doctor's pronounced that the force of StePhanie's disease had• spent itself, and that, oceintrary to all their expectations, her strength had endured the terrible strain, and there was reason to hope that she would recover. • "They say they never saw such elastieity, such rebound, such a superb organization." This Mr. Loring had said to Stephen, un- aware himself that , tears were running down his cheeks, and he hurried away to give an hour or two tci the business inter- ests which for the la.st few weeks he had utterly ignored, . . . "Stephanie will receiver !" All that this meant to Stepheneleirneelf he did not—he could not—eensider. His beautiful, peerless friend was given back to life, to the air, to the sun, to freedom and to joy! The won- derful radianee -of her 'smile was not to be quenched.; -hr beauty and grace and charm were not. to e .given to- the embrace of death. Life, which had Seemed of late so bare and joyl ss, now looked. bright again, and.Stephen felt all hie pulses run full and fast. And yet there was a swift pereeption which :clouded his brow and steadied him in the joyful tumult of the moment. Now, with life and strength coming back, and the ordinary considerations of convention as- serting themselves, how would - a proud woman like Stephanie feel, in remembering the revelation of her love which she had made to him, Stephen Castle, when she supposed heraelf to be near the gate of death? He felt himself growhot and cold for her, knowing by intuitive sympathy what she would suffer, and how shewould shrink from the reeolleetion which he felt sure would haunt -her day and night, even in this time of restoration. Hardly had this perception made itself, clear to his consciousness when Stephen's mind leaped to 4i, solution of the .difficulty_ the only natural -and adequate solution, he instantly.felt. One thing only could recon- cile Stephanie to the thought of her confes- sion to him, betithat Min thing was suffi- cient. It was that he should ask her to be his wife. A Man of a different mentel. and Moral orgariliation would have taken a day to reflect and decide upon a .step like this. A cautioue man .would have seen ser- ious considerations ag„ inst it, which mu,st 1 be carefully weighed. For in -the past week Stephen had gradually reached the point of believing that the only svay back to his in- tegrity as a minister of Christ lay in a com- plete break from his present surroundings.. But all this -was imPoss ble to Stephen. • Nc consideration of self, h Weyer just at other times, could hold again t the instinct' of a chivalrous nature in ,a crisis like this. Stephanie's happiness was clouded, her re: covery perhaps retarded by a hinniliation from which it was in his power tosave her. He hesitated no more to throw himself into the breach than a knight of King Arthur's' time would have stopped to consider his own delay when called upon t to do battle for a fair lady. - Within an hour of Mr. Lbring's call, a note was on its way to Stephanie, in which Stephen Castle said : • ” Will e. forgive ITIQ that I do not wait, as I ougirt, until you are stronger, but that now in my great Joy that God is giving you back to us, I dare to ask that to me, more than to all others, you may be given? "1 know, in some faint degree, I think, how surpassingly great ,is the favor I ask. I know, too, how unworthy I am to ask it, but all that I am or can be is yourp if you will take it. Do not try to write or to see me until you are quite strong. I can be patient, now." A day or two passed. There was a great Ptorm at sea, with awful shipwreck and dis- aster. ' Stephen, restless and unable to, force himself into any of his wonted occupations, left the city and went out to a little settle- ment on an exposed point of the Lona Is- land coast to watch the effects Of the storm, and to fight, with the men of the life-saving station for the lives of shipWrecked sailors Who might be washed ashore at that point. He found something of relief in the strug- gle of the elements; his own personal con- flicts were lost for the time, and he seemed to come into touch with the majestic powers of nature, which even in their moat terrible manifestations can quiet the fever and pas- sion of the human heart. Returning late a,t night to his apartment, helound in a pile of letters waiting for hina not the one he half expected from Stephan- ie but one from Emily Merle, asking him when he came to Thornton to bring her a certain book which she had sent for in vain to different bcioksellers. _ _ Stephen Ptafted to his feet in consterna- tion. Thornton! To be sure, he was under engagement to go to Thornton the fifth of J unee to attend Waldo's1 ordination. The experiences and excitemerits of the last six weeks had entirely driven the matter from - his mind, and now it was the fourth of June. His ordination sermon had not even been thought of, the arrangements for his. absence were not made, and yet he must start at seven o'clock the next morning; even then it- was doubtful whether he could reach Thornton, which was not on the main line of railroad, the same night. Stephen turned the leaves of his calendar. Yes, there was no room for doubt in the matter; he had written "Thornton" across the spaces occupied byethe next three days. When he had written it the tiine had seen -id far away. How distinctly it all came back to him now; it was the night at Mrs. Peter - sham's, the night he had last nen Stephanie Loring in health, the evening he had heard of Aunt Eliza'r death. There was no time new to be spent in meditation. He must make ready for his journey. Fortunately the book which Emily wanted was in his own library. It went first into hie gripsack, which he at once proceeded te pack, throw- ing in another book or two to help him in working up his sermon, which he must pre- pare on the cars. Then he wrote hail a dozen hasty notes, arranging for different appointments to be met during his Osence ; among them was one to Lloyd Petersham, asking him to explain his sudden departure fully to the Lorin0,. and to attend to the immediate forwarding of any letters which might come to him the next day. Having _done all these things, Stephen ordered his breakfast for six o'clock, and lay down for a few hours sleep. At eight o'clock the next eveeing a train, evidently impatient at the necessity, slowed For Dyspepsia and Bad Blood Humors Manley's Celery -Nerve Compound is unexcelled. Mr. Geo. Reid, G.T.R.

It was twilight, and the gres path by the roadside, along which: walked, was wet with dew. The wh farmhouses, each with its company of bar red or ochre oaunpainted gray, lay .in! u broken silence, with broad meadows 'a orchards between. The air was pure crystal, and sweet with the breath 61 ma blossoms. How stilla was !

The clear w -at broke in shallow cascades over; the e brown stones, rust as -it used in the WC old time when he was wont to come the Saturday afternoons for the rest and cooli of its music. And the man the boy rathe eager and free -hearted, who used to ling there was himself, Stephen Castle r who no stood on the little bridge, with care an pain and a bitter sense of failure ever wit him. Of course there came the longing break away from his present eonditions an take refuge in a haven of peace like thi but -as inevitable was the recognition th this was impossible as well- as useless. Ti time for peace and repose in . his life yv ever, until old age should bring it back 'pe chance; he was in the years of conflict -nos and must endure hardness as a soldier. ' Stephen left the bridge and passed on 'b the familiar path. He had reached a farm house now -where:he had always been a we come guest. He noticed with a smiles pleasure, as he passediche hayfields, tha the crop m as large and fine. The old saeis faction which he used to share with th Thornton people in "a good year" cam back to him. No one was in sight abou the house. He was glad and sorry too. H was not quite ready as yet to meet hi Thornton friends, and yet he longed fo Such an old-fashioned grasp of the hand a he knew was ready for him. Up the h:il now and past the parsonage, but the dusk was deepening, and the house could hardly be seen among its vines and bushes of Mee and syringe,. There was a light in the mid- dle room. Stephen supposed Waldo wes there. He wondered if he were to be mar- ried, or whether he would live with a sister or with his mother as he had done. , The fragrance of the lo ust blossoms, high in the dark above his hea , came to him with the mysterious power ver memory -which odors possess.

Then, even as he had risen i ipulsively and stood in the dark uhadoWs of the gallery, as if doubting what to de, a sudden recollection came to him, and nbis lesely as he had en- tered it . he left the church and came out alone into the summe night. • S tlhanie. 1 (To be c tinueld.) '' A ttockey's Lov for his Horse. Archer., the celebr ted jockey, was rid- ing in a steeplechase, his mount being a horse called°_Fatigue. The man was fond of the borse, who return d his affection with liberal interest. At the last fence the pathetic scene whic followed is described ti hor e fell and brok his leg.

I He was not ready yet to go into the par- sonage and find Waldo and explain his presence in Thornton to -night; He would rather- walk on. A few steps more and he saw a faint light shining through the win- dows at the farther end of the church. Per- haps he could slip in unobserved and have a few moments alone in the stillness there to calm and collect himself. The door was closed, but opened readily when he tried it, and he found no t one in the narrow vesti- bule, which was unlighted. He knew his way well, and in a moment had climbed thp steep stairs to the choir gallery, the door of which he cautiously opened. The church was dark except for one lamp on the com- munion table at the opposite end. Unseen, he entered the gallery and Sat down: in the shadow of the organ. . At first he thought there might be n9 one in the building but himself, but an in+ stant later he perceived that a woman'e form was bending over some jars of flowers near the pulpit, and suddenly, as abe lifted her head, and the light of the lamp struck upward on her face, he recognized Emily' Merle. His heart gave a great leap of joy, and a strange warmth and comfort and re- lease from pain seemed to flow through hie consciousness.

Thet is the right quotation, but the word "shame" was chanod to " fame " in the sign. ; Beneath is : If a shoemaker, Be the Best kind—Do every job of work Faithfully well. Dignify your profession, and it will com- mand Respect. , Remember - that Roger Sherman and Henry Wilsou began life at this humble trade, and in the end were honored by the State and Nation. Naturally, after I becalme acquainted With this gentlemanly shoemaker, I asked about the big sign. He told Me he used to be a big shoe manufacturer, eoployine a number of men. He found thet the men did not take pride in their work, 1 and he decided to call their attention toi the men who by faithful service at their trade and attention to their duties as citizen, won high places in the eyes of men.

Commend us to the old lady in Roches- terrNew York, who , sought novel and suc- cessfal means of collecting her house rent last week. She was an old lady of ideas, and a knowledge of hurran nature gleaned from a lifetime of ex erience with the world.

It was rath r an ostentatious house and lot and the te ants were persons. with a reputation to susain, _ although ap- parently embarrassed or ready money.

Now, she wasn't a stylish or an ar istic old lady, but she was sturdy and imp rturbable, and her proportions were ample nd- her spirit Un- faltering.

Phe servant glow- ered at her and Said he w s not to be seen yet for two hours, becaus the family had not yet risen. The early caller was cheer- ful, and said she'd sit on he doorstep and wait.
