LITTLE WAIF. A Story of Absorbing Interest By BERNARD HERBERT. [CI!APTF.ll VI.--Continued. 1 S The first few days after her arrival i j Air.eriea were a term of pence and res never to bo forgotten l\v |>oor littl Oracie Garland. To be sure, she wen " nowhere, and consequently saw not I q| ing but the interior of |he humble lions 8fl in Harlem and its two kiuuiy inmate: QI bnt then, her mind was at rest for th nc time being, to some extent at lensi av since she fancied that she had elude cl her pursuers, if indeed any sueli thet y< were. Neither mother nor son hn ii failed to notice, however, that whe u asked to go for a walk upon the bouh m a vnrds of the neighborhood during th day, the girl invariably offered son plausible excuse. She had some sewing to do, or ah was going to assist Mrs. Arnim in tl 8U kitchen; even once, when fairly pushe to the walk, for a pretext, she propose p" to sit to Rupert for her portrait. ju In spite of her kindliness of hear Mrs. Arnim could not help suspeetin that such singular conduct was due t^ an uneasy conscience, w hile Rupert wai"^ troubled within himself, though h# said nothing. Consequently, upon the second dayl^ the sketch of Gracie was placed npon^ the easel and Rupert seated himself^' before it to paint. Sitting there before him, her sweet face sail and thoughtful, little Graciooccupied herself with some t, light needlework, while Arnim painted [ in his great, love for her at every stroke of the brush. Naturally the portrait grew rapidly, becoming a likeness of remarkable ^ strength. Once, upon rising and going to the artist's side?todook at the can- 1 vas, GvachTinquired: "How long do you think it will take to finish the picture?" "Some weeks, I think, Gracie," was the reply; "why do you ask?" She hesitated a moment, averting her face while she answered: ] "I di l not think it would take so t long." t "Are vou tiro I of titling already?" lie milled, a tremor of slight reproach in his voice. ' "Oh, no! Hut " "Hut?what, Orarie?" "I do not feel that I ought to impose < upon your hospitality so long." "Oraeie! What do you mean?" "I mean that I must go away to earn my living," she said steadily; "kind as you are, you must know that 1 have no 1 claim upon you, that my position here is a dependent one." "You might have a claim iq?on me if * you would!" She turned quickly and looked at jV* him, attracted l?v his altered tone and strange words. He had laid his palette j( and brushes upon the Hoor, and was ^ gazing up at her with a passionate in- p tensity that summoned the tell-tale r color promptly to her cheeks. "Grneie." he murmured, taking the hand that hung listlessly at her side, J1 "dear Oraeie, have you not seen, has not your heart told you, that T love yon ? _ It is the first great love of my life, and it will l?e the only one!" "Hush, hush!" she breathed, trying 1 to withdraw her hand from his clasp, but he held it firmly. "You must not 3 speak so to me! I am not worthv of ; such love as yours!" Hut. he went on fervently, without heeding her words: "You may he too young to think of I marriage yet., hut yon are not too young to love, to promise m that in the full * ness of time you will heroine my wife!" "Oh, no, no, no!" she sobbed; "Rupert, you know not what you ask ! Let me go away lit once; forget me! 1 can never he your wife!" He struggled to his feet and stood ! leaning one hand upon the hark of his chair. ."Oracle!" lie cried, "let me know the truth at once I If you love another, t say so?and I will never trouble you V again." "No!" she exclaimed, looking him frankly in the eyes. ' I love no living man as 1 love yon; hut 1 warn you to crush your love lor nio ?n the hud, for it enn hring nothing hu< misery and mortification to us hotli." "What do you mean?" "You promised to ask me no questions ahout my past if I eanie here," she retorted, reproaelifully. "And I have kept my promise," he answered proudly; "f would not listen wove you to tell me; I accept you with your secret untold, nnd to the day of my denth I will never question you. I only nsk yon now w hy I should not love "On account of my past." "Ihil I tell you that the past is past; whatever it may have heen, I care riot; so long as no other man has a claim on your love, I will love your!" His outstretched hands were ahout to clasp her in .their fond embrace, when she took a backward atop and, held Up JUT !;*?)'> vi vth * <? vsvrpjr is iiurvwiin errreu upon r jrou, tn i ? > serre a cepy of your answer to^ the said complaint on (he subscribers at' *" their office, No 2.
