Where angels guard the door.
And while I sit in the twilight low.
My thoughts thoy wander wide;

A chubby boy with flaxen hair?

And had I always sat mo there,
What might my past have boon I
For steadfast as the stars a'wve?
No'or wav'rlug to tho end,

Bo swift the years bavo glided on.
They all seem yesterdays;
And I review, in the past tli it's gone.
Her guidance of my ways.
Oft-times I start, amid tho gloom.
As If her voice I lionr-l;
And list my car around the room
That I may hoar her word.

As Loo pauses for a moment in the
doorway, undecided whether to advance
or rotroat, for save hor own presonoo
the room seems ompty, a slight exclamation
startlos hor. Loo looks np. A

seen him beforo.

?terrified.

ously.
Tho butler's eyes moot her own now.
Tliore is a atooly gleam in his pale blno
orbs that frightens her more and more.
"Miss is mistaken," ho says civilly,
but with a subtle noto of warning in his
respectful tones. "I am Kibboy, tho
butler."

"Never!" denies Kibbey vohomently.

"Alias is doceivcd by a fancied resemblance

politely says the butler.
"My namo is l'arker Kibbey, and
I have the best of references."
At this momout tho Madam enters
the dining-room, leaning on tho Captain's
arm. Thoy now ull take their
places at table, and the butlor serves

' V jjJWffWK i X. woeks ha?l gone by
'iwuyp since tho dreadful X, Y,
Z. Railway disaster. Miss l.afarge line
^^convalesced rapidly, nnd lior broken
m is doing very well, imleod.
In s'.x weeks' time sho has accomplished
mnoh. She lias won Miss Chidley's
affection nnd hor unbonndod conv
lidonco, and sho rides out daily bohind
tho dreadful black ponies, whoso antics
are a frosh source of amusement,
for sho laughs and applauds heartily,
whether they stand still in utter rebel*
lion, or go tearing madly oyer the
oouniry roads,
refofc In sue weeks' time sho has improved
her alight acquaintance with the inIft
mates of Bywater Park, has gained tho
dislike of Madam Buncos, the hatro<1
of Iioa, and won from the Captain the
warmest admiration.
During the six weeks Captain Basard
has made many calls upon the fair sufferer
at Ktnbbiofield, and appearances
would indioato that his fickle heart has
been almoat caught in the meshes the
** enehantross baa spread for him.
jm In six weeks, poor I.oo finds that
stone walls, ana cushioned furniture,
and silk gowns are no more oonduoive
.? In nn.ln^ it AI .

sue
she
often meets now, and the overpowering
jealousy which consumes her whenever
she sees the Captain and Miss Lafarge
togothor. Not that the gallant Cuptain
suspects this feeling on Loo's part.
To the Captain Loo is ice itself..
llo shall never smile at the readiness
with which she surrendered to him, sho
says angrily to herself. For the Captain
thinks nothing of airing his supposed
conquosts in Loo's hearing, and
rather boasts of his prowess us a lady's
man, as is usual with men of this do
Lou paused for a moment in the doorway,
ecription, greatly overestimating himself.
To quite ward off the Captain's bus1
picions?should ho have any?of the
real state of affairs, Loo accepts tbo nt^tenticnia^fa^gstIonian
whom the Cap'{Rrro,fTfel3Ke$Wcniood
tfi her notice. Tiio
consequence bo ng that Littlefiold soon
becomes her shadow or second self,
greatly to the Captain's own discomilture.
"Wlint she cnn soo in that follow,"
remarked the C&ptniu to his confidante,
Madam Hondas, "is beyond me. Why,
ho is nothing out a conceited ass at the
Tory best."
Six wooks go by. Tho grass begins
to grow in littlo green patches on the
louely gravo jn tho country eemotory.
It is quite the middloof Juno now, and
here and thoro in the consecrated
ground aro bunches of roso trees in
full bloom.
Kngrossed with her flirtation with
Hazard, Miss 1 afargo has no timo to
give a thought to the quiet sleopor
whoso place she has usurped, llut if
Miss I .afargo lias no time to think of
the dead girl, thero is one that does.
The "motherly woman," in her infinite
sympathy und goodness of heart,
goes often to tho littlo burial ground to
,. muse by th? lonely gravoof the stronger, whoso
untimely death sffols hover ured
of talking about.
As tnu wee Kb go ujr suu n|i?u'uinw6
upon the subject, and wonders if nobody
will over oome to claim tho very
few personal effects that belonged to
tho dead girl. Kho bolievos that somowhere
in the world there is some ono
who loved and cared for the ono that
had met so terrible a fate. And she is,
therefore, not much surprised ono
sunny morning to seo a strange man
walk up tho path leading to lior door.
And sho is at onco interested when tho
Eonlemun inquiros, in a voice which
otrays emotion, carefully modulated
though it is:
"is tins tno place wiiore J uaitti Lionitborn
died?"
Tlio "motherly woman" nods in the
aflirmative.
"I'es. In this house, and in this
room," throwing open the door. "Will
you walk in and sit down?"
The visitor enters and glancos ab rnt
him. He is unprepossessing in his personal
appearance, and his face is sinister.
His flgnre is short and heavily
built, with shoulders so vory broad as
to suggest suspicion of padding. A
1 thick black beard straggles down
1 either side of his full, red face, and
swoops upon his breast. His eyes are
keen and twinkling, shrewd in expression,
and of a red color. His clothing
is black and evidently much too tight
for his body, Upon his head is a silk
hat, and ho carries a cane. His walk is
a stride, and ho glances around tho
room with an air of scorn.
"You say she died in this room?"
Tho "motherly woman" again nods
in tho aflirmative.
"In this room, near the spot where
you now stand."
"WJio was with hor when she died?"
' ho asks, biting his lip.
"Only tho doctors."
"Was she conscious?"
I "No. Directly after the train was
wrecked, a number of the wounded
were brought here. Among them was
the lady you havo askod about. She
woo voiiiUij UUIUVU| h'iu ill nil UllUUU"
scions condition when she arrived. She
lived but a few hours, and died without
realizing her extremity."
"And she was alone?"
"Yes, But stop! There wiv* a lady
i who "
WA lady!" he ojaculates incredulously?"a
lady?"
"A lady!" affirms tho "mothorly
woman." "And tho lady said sho was
a friend of the girl that died, and I
guosa sho was. 1 know sho sat l>y the
isxly, und sho paid the undortakor, and
she followod tho corpse to the burial
ground. Then she wont away. She
said the poor dead girl had no friends
of any consequence."
Tho visitor bit his lip again.
I "Have you anything in your possession
now that belonged to tho lady
that died?"
1 The "motherly woman" nods swift
i ly. She disappears presenter, only to
return again with a traveling-bag in
i her hand.
"This is all," she says,
i "All I" He grasps the bag, opens it
I There is tlio usual paraphernalia:
ootnbs, brushes, powder-box, penoil,
and lastly?a diary.
> The straogor snatches at this diary.
Ho scans page after page in an eager

denly. "It was hers," he says in a
i hushed tone, more to himself than to
' his interested companion.

)- "If the lady had a purse, it will bo
fcnnd in tho traveling-bug"
Ho rummages through the bag.
There is no Bign of a purse.
"Describe tho Indv. Wus she fair?"
"Yes. I should say bo. Though her
face was no dreadfully burned that
ono could hardly tell what it must havo

iuukiik iiko uoioro mo a cutout. {She
had brown liair and (due eyos. I am
certain sho was a blonde."
"How was sho attired? '
"In black. I thought it was mourning;
she hud crape stones in lior ears.
I'm certain new that she was in mourning."
Then the visitor's head sank far
down upon his lireast. A sigh escapes
liim. He rousos himself to tiiul the eyes
of tho "motherly wouiuu" stornly lixed
upon him.
"1 am sat is llod," ho says shortly. "At
first I thought perhaps it might be a
case of mistukeu identity; but your description
has dispelled that thought.
Hut about the lady you spoke of; tho
one who acted the part of the 'good
Snmaritun.' NVho is she, and where is
she now ? '
The "motherly woman" draws a card
from hor pocket, and with somo pride
t daces tho card in the outstretched
inud of hor visitor.
He reads tho name easily, for it is
written iu a clear hand:
; Maiuon Laf a no k, :
; SiubblottolA :
Then ho puts tho card carefully in
liis pocket.
"With your permission, I will keep
this," he says, speaking in a moro civil
tone. "I would like to o ill upon the lady
and thank lior in porson for her kindnoss
to my dead rolativo."
"Shall you take the bag?"
lie shook his head in tho negative.
"Von may have it, and tho contouts
too. I have no use for cither."
Then he turned upon his heel, and
walked quickly in the direction of tho
cemetery.

tho poor little nobody's music; for
Captain Ila/ard lias somehow fallen iuto
tho habit of qu:etly seeking a corner of
tho drawing-room, as tho shadows bugin
to gather aud Loo takes her place
at tho piauo.
Loo, however, is quito unconscious of
this action on his part Kho slips into

done she slips away as quietly as she

"I've been thinking lately," Bays
Madam Dundas, be koning to the Captain,
who leaves his shaded nook and
now approaches his friend. "1'vo been
thinking lately that you should marry."
Hazard laughs lightly.
"1 once thought so too," ho roplios.
"But you know 1 never could quite
make up my mind to ofTor myself a
Bacritlco on the altar matrimonial, after
all."
"Selfish croaturo." Madam smiles,
then grows serious. 44J have thought
lately--since Miss Latargo came to
Btubbletiold?that at last you had mot
your fate."
"Deucod fine girl, that Lafarge,"
Bays the Captain.
"Not to be compared with Loo."
"Loo is a little, flinty hearted, coldblooded
iceberg."
"She is very discreet. I never belioved
Frederio Bolton's daughter was what
bo bus proven to be. 1 have thought
lately, Captain, that perhaps you wero
right after nil, and that it is my duty to
provide for her future."
"I was sure you would come round
at last," cries the Captain, enthusiastic
ally. "Aunt Dundtis, you are incomparable
after all. Provide for Loo by
all moans."
"Though, by so doing, your own
share of my fortune will be lessoned
that much?"
"Certainly."
Madam closos lior eyos and sits silont
for some time. Then she says slowly,
and with evident hesitation, "I made
a cnange in my wiu jreeieruay. jd mot,
made a new will ontirely. Captain, I
wish it might bo bo, that the money
would remain undivided in yonr bauds
after my decease. Jf yon could forget
Miss Lafarge, and transfer yonr attentions
to a lady a little nearor home, we
might arrive at a solution of a difficulty

The Captain colors. Ho understands
what her meaning is.
