(mum XXIIâ€"Continued. "Youth is blind and will not see," had been too bitte'rly‘ true with him. It was in his college days, whenl the ‘rlworld oeemed all gayety, youth and sunshine to him, ha first met the beautiful face that was: to darken all 01‘, his after life. \He was young and impulsive; he thought it was love that: filled his heart ,for the beautiful stranger who appeared alone and friendle-u in that little college town. He never once asked who or what she was, or from whence she came, this beautiful creature with the large, dark, dreamy eyes that thrilled his heart into love. She carried the town by storm; every young man at the college was deeply desperately In love. ~,But Basil, the handsomcst and wealthiest of thcrm all, thought what a lark. it would be to steal a march. on them all by marrying the dark-eyed beauty then and there. He not only thought it, but executed it, but it was not the lark he thought it was going to be. For one short happy week he lived in afonl‘s paradise, then a change came over the. spirit of his dreams. In that one week) she had spent] his year‘s income and all the money he could borrow, thed petulzrntly left him in anger. i For 'two long years he never looked upon her face again. One stormy night she returned quite unexpectedly ‘at Whitestone Hall, bringing with her their little child Plums, and, placing her in her father‘s arms, bitter re- oriminations followed. Bitterly Basil Hur'lhurst repented that terrible mis- take of his youth, that hasty marriage. When' the morning l'ght dawned he took~his wife and child _ from White- [stone Hallâ€"took them abroad. What ‘1de it matter to him where they [went' Life was the same to him in one part of the world as another. For ,3. year they led a weary life of it. Beavcn- only known how ’weary he was 10f the woman the law called his wife! One night, in a desperate fit of anger, she threw herself into the sea; her body was never recovered. Theni the master of Whitestonev Hall re-. turned with his child, a sadder and wiser man. But the bitterest drop in his cup had been added last. The golden-haired young wife, the one sweet love whom he had married last, was taken from him; even her little child, tiny image of that fair young mother, had not been spared him. How, strange it was such a passionâ€" ate yearning always came over him when he thought of his childl When he saw a fair, goldenâ€"haired young girl, with eyes of blue, the pain in his heart almost stifled him. Some strange unaccountable fate ur§ed him to ever seek for) that one face even in the midst of crowdS. IL was a. gnarl, foolish fancy, yet it was the one con- solation. of rBasil Hurlhurst‘s Weary. tempest-tossed life. , No {wondethc set his teeth hard to- gether as he listened to the cold words of the proud, peerless beauty before him, who bore every lin-eament of her mother’s dark, fatal beauty -â€" this daughter who scornfully spoke of the r hour when he should die as of some, happy, long-lookedâ€"for event.

"You have come too late," he re-r plied, gently; “Mrs. Lyon is dead."

'2 “I have no message to leave; perhaps I will come againâ€"after this is all _over," she mido answer, hesitatingly; iher brain was inl a whirl; she want- 'ed to get away all by herself to think. “Please don‘t say any one was here," she said, quickly; "Iâ€"l don’t want- any one to know.“ The sweet, plaintive voice, as sweet as the silvery note of a forest bird, iwentr straight to his heart. I \Vhatever the mission of this beauti- iful, mysterious visitor, he would cer- itainly‘ respect her wishes. “I shall not mention it if ybu do not ‘-wi.sh.l it," he said. "Thank you." she replied, simply; 5“you are very kind.

( "How happy she is l ‘ thought Daisy, wistfully. "She has home, friends, and love, while I have nothing that makes: life worth. the living." Like a shadow, she flitted on through the dim, shadowy hall, toward her own little room. She saw Gertie's door was ajar as she passed it, and the sound of her pwn name caused her to pause involuntarily. 5 It was very natural for Daisy to pause. How many are there who‘ lwould have passed on quietly, with no‘ desire to know what was being said of themselves, when they' heard their ‘own names mentioned in such a sneer- ‘ing manner? Daisy certainly meant, no harm by it; she paused, thought-r 'fully' and curiously, as any one would have done. "I am sure I don’t like it," Gertie lwns saying, spitefully. “It is an ac- ltu-rl shame allowing Daisy Brooks to remain» here. Uncle Jet was a mean old thing to send her here, where iladies.
