I was only twelve-a mere child myself; but I accepted the trust, and never have forgot ten it." "Don't look so distressed, dear," said Annie, "or I shall be almost sorry that I've said what I have." "No, you needn't be sorry, for I shall keep my eyes open now that is all I can do." "Why don't you have a serious talk with Minnie ?" "Have a serious talk! Why, I've had a dozen already, but they do more harm than good. The more I say, the more defiantly she stands -up for him, and the more tender she is towards him, the next time they meet. That's hu man nature!" And Helen looked as if she scarcely know whether to laugh or cry. "You might forbid him the house," suggested Annie, after a pause. "No, indeed, I couldn't do worse. Don't you see that that would on ly hasten the catastrophe ? No, dis eretion is the bettter part of valor, I assure you." "Well, what do you intend to do then ?" "Nothing-but watch and wait, as I have been doing. Will you not help me ?" "Help you what?" Wait or watch ?" "Now don't you laugh. I was never more serious in my life. We must hear every word-watch ev ery look that passes between those two. Poor foolish little sis ter I" Then, suddenly relapsing from the pitying into the indig nant, "I could shake her !" A few days after this conversa tion, Helen mysteriously beckon dd her friend into the garden. "Well," saihi Annie, as the door closed behind them, "what is on the tapis now ? What has put you into such a state of excite ment? Your eyes are like stars, and your cheeks as red as'tbese roses." "No? Do I look as if!I had any thing on my mind ?" inquired He! en, anxiously. "I've been trying to appear as unconcerned as pos sible. But after all," she added, musingly. "It doesn't matter much. She would hardly notice it in her present state of mind." "Who? What? Come, out with it! Don't you see I'm dying of impatience ?' "Lend me your ears !" cried Hel en, with a tragic air. 'I've some thing of the gravest importance to communicate.' Then, after a solemn pause, she said in a stage whisper, opening her eyes very wide, 'I am going to elope.' Annie's expression of o p e n mouthed astonishment was so lu dicrous that Helen involuntarily burst into a merry laugh. 'What do you mean by saying -such .an absurd thing?' cried An Snie, looking a little relieved. ~'Exactly what I say,' returned her friend, assuming her former expression of mysterione gravity 'I elope this night at half past nine precisely. I've arranged it -all. Didn't you see?' 'See what? Why, I verily be lieve you're demented.' t'Not rmore than the majority ol womankind, I1 assure you. Theri you didu't notice that Herbert Seeley handed a note to Minnic yesterday evening ?' S'No, indeed! Did he? And]I watched them all the evening You have eyea like a lynx, Helen! 'Ilowe this discovery quite a~ much to my ears as to my eyes When little Seeley took my sis t er's hand at parting, 1 noticed that he gave her a very signifi cant look, and as her hand fel ~.among the folds of her dress,! hear< something rustle faintly, like pa per. So after we had all been ir -bed some time, I arose softly, an( having listened at her door, t< make sure that she 'gas soundlj ~.sleeping, I stole in and looke< about for the note, which, by piece of good luck I hardly expect ed, i found on her bureau, an< redwithout any trouble, the ga not being out, but only turne< down. It seemed a dishonorabl thing to do; but better that tha !ose my Minnie. Dear little thin -sleeping so soundly, her m-os~ tlips parted, and her long golde dringlets falling about her shouke ers.' 'But the note ; the note!' e'It contained only these word: eas nearly as I can remember 'Meet me, my beauteous one, t< morrow night, at half 'past nin< ein the little summer-ho'use. A cai riage will await us at a short di: r tance. Fail me not, thou precior nangel, nor fear to trust thyse i to one who would die for the< d Fm-reve- tine. Herbert-t 'Oh, the little imbecile! So it is as I predicted; and- now what are you going te do?' 'Exactly what I told you elope with the youth, myself.' 'How can you jest so,? A few days ago you told me it *as no laughing matter. Is it any less now ? Yet there you sit, looking as if it were a capital joke.' 'I am not jesting, Annie, and you needn't proceed to turn up the whites of your eyes, and look sanctimonious, for the cause of my high spirits is simply the thought that I've found a way out of this difficulty-at least for the present-and perhaps forever, who knows ? I thought it all out last night, when you were fast asleep, you lazy thing. 1 shall elope in Minnie's p)ace.' 'Helen Chapman !' 'Annie Graham!' 'You'll never astonish me again, as long as you live, by anything you may say or do. Well, let us bear how t h i s pretty little mancuvre is to be accomplished.' 'But first-may I cunt upon your assistance ?' 'Did I ever in my life refuse it when you asked it, adventurous girl?' 'Very good ; here, then, is the programme.' A long and mysterious conversa tion followed, and the climbing roses that enwreathed the little summer-house peeped in at the young conspirators, and stirred by the June breezes, seemed to whis per to each other and nod their faces in approval. As the clock struck nine that evening a warri, soft rain was falling, and the night air was heavy and odorous. The two friends sat in the parlor gayly chatting together, while Minie silent and ill. at. ease, restlessly watched the hands of the clock in their slow march, and started at every sound. After a short time, Helen turned, - affectinga yWIn, and sked.-her sister, to step into th-e diaingoom, and bring her some icegwater. The instant she disappere, Helen ran to bhe elgandset.it back tea mninntes. 'So far so good,' said Annie, 'but don't you begin to be afraid, as the time approaches?' 'Afraid of that little bit of pink and white candy !' 'But if we fail!' said Annie, un consciously quoting Macbeth. 'We fail!I' exclaimed Helen, striking an attitude. 'Still, I'm 'free to confess' that I begin to experience a rather fluttery sensa tion about the region of the heart. Hush! here she comes. Thank you, Minnie dear; this is quite refreshing. Heigh-ho. What does make me so sleepy to-night? It's only a little after nine. Well: nevertheless, if you'll excuse me: Annie, I believe I'll say good night. Minnie shall entertain you by playing that pretty overture to Le Premier Jour de Bonheur. And Helen tripped up stairs, hum ming gayly, while her sister, glancing once more at tbe clock, shrugged her plump shoulders im patiently, and seated herself at the piano. Helen's voice died away as she reached her room, and hastily let ting her long hair fall down about her shoulders, in imitation of hei sister, she threw a veil over he: face, wrapped herself in a water proof cloak, and softly stole dowi the back stairs and out into th< rain and darkness. It may be safely affirmed that Minnie Chapman had never before played the overture to 'Le Premie. Jour de Bonheur' so wretchedly as upon this peculiar occasion. As she rose from the piano, the clocl pointed to twenty-five minuter past nine.* Hurriedly murmuring something about having left bei e rochet, in the library, she wai about to leave the room, when sudden cry of pain, from Annie arrested her. 'What is the nmt ter ?' she inquired, looking back. 'Oh, my eye !' moaned Annie with an expression of extreme an guish. 'Oh dear, what shall I do1 'Have you got something il your eye ?' asked Minnie, irres' lte whether to go on or linger; moment to help her friendI. ~ Yes; oh, what can it be ? D' try anid get it out for me. Oh! and Annie screwed up one of he azure eyes very tightly, and glar Sed widely about with the otbei .rocking herself to and fro wit frequent groans. This was to much for Minnie's tender litti ,heart, and in an instant she wa searching eagerly for the causec ~-so much suffering. ,'Why, I can't see anything -all!' cried she, after* a moment .. examination. 'How very strange It was exceeding strange ! S'Can't you ?' groaned Annie. f 'Oh 1--I'll turn the gas a littl -higher. There! I've turned out! 'Pshaw! where are the match es?' asked Minnie, groping impa. tien tly about in the darkness. 'They were on the table,' repli ed her companion, deftly removing the safe to the mantle-piece. 'But they're not here now. Oh dear, and I haven't time to-I mean-where can they be ? There! I've tipped over that vase of flow ers and the water'll be all over everything. How provoking! 'll wip it up w:ith my handkerchief. Mop, mop, mop. Do look for those matches, Annie.' 'I am. What's the great hurry, I'd like to know ?' 'Never mind; I'll run into the library and get some; the gas is lit there.' 'No, here they are now! I've found them at last-on the corner I of the mantle. Take one.' So saying Annie handed the un suspecting little maiden a match of which she had previously mois tened the lighting end in her mouth. Scratch, scratch, scratch! 'Why it won't light.' (Scratch, scratch, scratch!) 4t must be a bad one.' 'Here's another,' said Annie, re p e a t i n g her performance. 'Oh my poor eye!' and she sbook con vulsively-with pain perhaps. Renewed scratching, as ineffec tual as before. Minnie's patience was ent'rely exhausted. 'I'll tell you what, Annie, you just run up stairs and get Helen to examine your eye, for I remember having left a book out in the sum iner-boase this morning, and this pouring rain will completely ruin it.' With these words poor Minnie fairly bolted from the room, over turning a chair or two in her pro. gress, and an instant after was heard rushing down the garden steps. Annie lighted the gas, and de murely set the clock forward again. -Twenty miautes of ten. - Tha" will do very well,' said she. * * * -Although Hel en had anticipated the appointed time, by a few minutes, she was received into a garm embrace on entering the e ai m m e r - house, and a thin piping voice exclaimed, rapturously, 'Sweet angle ! I knew thou wouldst not' fail me! Yet thou knowest not with what im patience my heart was beating. Ah, I cannot believe my happiness! Speak to me dearest-tell me once more-* 'aaste, oh hast away, dear Her bert, lest we be discovered !' in. terrupted the supposed Minnie, in an agitated whisper. 'We must not lose a moment or all may be lost.' 'Thou art right, beloved ! This way-the carriage waits.' And they hurried down the gar. den path, and out the gate, on a very undignified and unromantic trot. Anotber moment and they were seated in a close carriage, rapidly driving through the. rair and darkness. 'Delightful situation!l' said Hel. en to herself, resignedly. 'My queen! my fairy ! art thou mine owin at last?' inquired Mr. Seeley, with what the French call effusion. Oh, Herbert I am so frighten ed whispered the 'Fairy,' burying her face in a disagreeable wet over coat, in order to escape a more dis agreeable shower of kisses. 'Fear not, I will protect thee I feel that I have the strength o a lion!' responded the small voie4 of the infatuated youth. SSplash, splash, went the horses feet through the mud, and the rait pattered steadily on the carriag< top. 'I wonder where on earth we are g'oing ?' said Helen to herself and after a moment's silence, 'dea1 Herbert, when shall we get there? she whispered-for she dar'ed no speak aloud, lest her voice should betray her. "In about an hour my owi sweet love. Pearville is nearl' five miles from town, is it not ? I will all be as we arranged, whe: I first gained thy dear consent the minister is to await us at thi village hotel, at half past ten, an< then a few moments and we shal be man and wife! Ah canst thot 'realize it, my precious one ?' rThe 'precious one' thought shi -couldn't, but contented$rself b; remarking, 'eh, what will my siste iIsay ?' 0 Thy sister is a prude. She ha a cold and stony heart, that know eth not the soft power of love. Hei self unyielding to its rosy tone she would have others so as wel VThe sweet blossom of the spring and the chilling snow wreath< winter, are not more unlike tha are in heart thy sister and thysel e Thou art " 'A shadow of some gOlden dream; a splel I dor Leaving the third sphere pilotless; a tender Reflection on the eternal Moon of Love, Under whose motions Life's dull billows move; A Metaphor of Spring and Youth and Morn ing."' Here poor Helen was obliged to take refuge again in the over. coat. 'Ab, do not shun my kisses, tim id bird!' remonstrated the unsus pecting youth. 'Hide not thy lovely face upon my breast, but raise those beauteous orbs to mine. True the darkness veils them from my sight, yet I feel their glances burning into ny very soul!' 'I xish they'd dry his clothes on the way; the odor of a wet coat is so unpleasant,' thought Helen with a snuff. 'Ahi!' continued MasterSeeley, unconcious of this application of his remark. 'Now am I repaid for all that I have ever suffered in this dark struggle that we call Life. At last are the dreams of my youth realized I' (He was nearly eighteen years of age, and cultivating an infinitesimal mous tache.) 'Yes, thou didst dawn up on my longing eyes, as the glori ous orb of day rises upon' the cold and sleeping earth, to arouse, to cheer and revivify. But how poor and feeble seem my words, fool that I am!' (This with ex treme complacency.) 'Oh, would that thou couldst read my heart! Thou shouldst be able, since we arc one. " 'We-are we not formed as notes of music are, For one another though dissimilar; Such difference without discord, as can make Those sweetest sounds, in which all spirits shake As trembling leaves in a continuous air 1"' 'Well, I've had about as m0'ch of this sort of thing as I can con veniently stand,' said his compan ion to herself at this point; 'and its -high time now for me to think of tearing myself away from my amiable and interesting young friend.' She let down the carriage win dow, and leaned out, regardless of the fast falling rain. 'What is the matter, my pre cious?' anxiously inquire4 Her bert. 'I am trying to see where we are, but it's so dark that I can't be sure.' 'We must be about three miles out-of town, and at this moment thy cruel sister searches for -thee, in vain. In one short hour thou wilt utter those words .whieb will make thee mine forever. 'The minutes fly on golden wings, "Oh, Herbert!i stop the carriage quickly ! I've lost my bracelet ! It slipped over my hand, and must be at some distance behind now, we're riding so rapidly. Ah, seek for it if thou lovest me. Seek for it carefully !' In an instant the carriage was stopped, and the too trusting vie tim was splashing off through the mud, on his hopeless search. No sooner was his figure lost to view in the darkness, than Helen loaned forward and said in low tones to the driver, 'What does Mr. Seeley pay you for taking him to Pearl vile ?" 'Five dollars mum.' 'I'll give you ten if you'll turn about inetantly and take me right back to town.' 'What 'an leave Misther Saley?' 'Yes; d e e i d e immediately you've not a second ,to lose. Go on and get five dollars or return and get ten.' 'Faith the temptation's t o o great entirely,' quoth Pat, as he headed his horses in the other di rection, 'but it's a mighty quare trick to play on the young gentle man, sure I' S'Hallo! What, are you doing? come back ! Confound you, come back, I say !' cried the youth in question, suddenly and unpleasant ly recalled to the prose of Life. SA loud 'Git dap !' accompanied ~.by a crack of the whip, was the on tly answer he received; and as the carriage rolled rapidly on, his.an gry shouts grow fainter and faint Ser until they died away in the dis jtance. Helen put up the window again, and settling herself on the comfortable seat, remarked, pen sively "Poor little fellow, I hope he won't take cold!' It was nearly eleven o'clock when she reached home, and en tering at the door which opened into the garden, stole softly up the back stairs to her room, where she found Annie anxiously awaiting her. 'Congratulate me!l' cried Helen, .,throwing off her wet cloak, and giving her friend an enthusiastic nhug. 'I've succeeded admirably inj ncarrying out my programme. Not a hitch anywhere.' 'And Master Seeley is left- ?' 'Standin, in the mnd, and cool ing his ardor in the rain, half way between here and Pearlvil'e. 'A rather violent remedy for his little ailment.' 'Oh, I go on the 'kill or cure' principle laughed Helen, as shel' dried her long hair. 'Well, how did Minnie take her disappoint ment ?' 'She stayed out in the garden antil after ten o'clock, and then I went after her, and, with some difficulty, persuaded her to come in. She was thoroughly drench ed, poor child, and shivering from head to foot, with cold and excite ment. I was really frightened about her, so I gave her a hot brandy sling and put her to bed.' 'It seems that I am not the only one who believes in violent reme dies,' said Helen, with a smile. 'Well, I fancy that our patients will both recover.' * * * And so they did. Indignation and wounded pride took the place of their senti mental attachment, and when by accident, they met again a few weeks after the occurence just nar rated, they refused even to recog nize each other. Several years had passed, and Minnie had become a happy wife and mother, when Helen one day laughingly related to her the his tory of Mister Seeley's Elopement.
