Arianne. who never allowed her hands to he Ile. took h Fefuge in her crochet work. Desiree's wanderings with Arnim ceased as the s gentlemen took frequent long walks together. The two women passcd aT much of their time in the garden. "Uncle told you that our guest had led the usual frivolous life of rich young men in St. PtershrZ," said a" Desiree one day to Mariiie, as they of sat together in the gardien. and the young girls deft lingers f:shion'ed a l breakfast cap of true Parisl elegance. "What did he nean by that?" she added, bending low over her work and S blushing deeply. "He must have meant that the b' young baron had done little else than of hiit from one ball and a'.senbly to an- t other-that he squandered nicli nioney eI and indulged in countless Ilirtations. l One must not look deeply into the e lives of men. There are few model ill ien like my cousin." f "But Ussikow looks melancholy and Pi ll.

I do not u:diirst a w why a w'omer. think him handsx.ne. hica in no way compare with myv cousin,h who has the only beautv needful in a man--that of perfect health. l "But uncle has gray hair' and his whiskers begin"--i "That is because lie has undergono so many fatigues," interrupted Mari anne, " becauso he still s.tudies so hard. He is in all ways the 4iperior' C pf Hilmar von Ussikow. N' w let mec try on the cap before the glass. It is t charming. But that ribbon over the. top must conme oi. It looks too coquet ttish for me." I The same hour found Hihniar and ~ Arnim roaming throughi the forest, and .talking over Hihuar's choice of his fut- 3 .ure home. --The physicians reconmnend sl .the environs of Lake Geneva," said the P invalid. r r "That is the best air for your nerves," ti replied Arnim. "'In winter yon can go a over the Alps to Lake Comto. W~ith~ proper care and the right atmosphere you may soon be restored to p~erfc~t ihealth. ~Most of all, von need rest." "Wherever I have sought rest it has seemed that of the church-yard. How happy you are. What a housekeeper you have in Marianne." "Does she pleasec you?" "I envy tho~ man to whose comfort she ministers." ."Then woo and win her. She may be the wife you need." '"Possibly. But here we ar. in my favorite haunt, the forest-meadow. Just look at that enichanting groupj of1 old beeches! Trees gro w more beauti ful and interestin:g with age. Pity' it is not so with men! I would like tco sketch a little here.". ."Then 1 will go back to the house. Do not stay out late, Hilmar." Arninm Elbthaxl walked slowly' home; moderate as was his step, his heart . beat violently. He: half regretted haxv- f ing so spokea to his frimnd,. yet the f thought that De'siree mitght one dayI take Marianne's lIac in his house fill ed him with a quiet happiness. Where 'could she be mnore safely guarded. more lovingrly eheri-ied-this precious j7 jewel of his lost H~ortense-than in the vine-wreathed Ihoutse where her mother had passed such haley on hours? "Heaven has arranged all," cried a en voice ini his heart, "we have but to lo calmly wait."'- fo From this "day the doctor seemed in more absorbed in his work. Hilmnar he( was given over mostly to tihe sceyol of Marianne and Desiree. f It gave hinm pleasure to know that at Is guest took daily watlk~s with the t two womnti, that lie sat with themi on the ter'race, realin aloud byv the hour, be that his conver':atio wa. xs m''tly with ,, lMarianne.

Ie waits a sensible womtiani and a good housewife." Desiree did not aiswer. but the hand which rested on the table, trembled. Arnim so . this with mingled terror and anger. "I must really interfere in Mari anne's behalf," he cried. excitedly. --To marry a nia like Hihmar is a prodigious venture.

Hilmiar camne home ate from' his walk ; the doctor liagered in is tudy. De.,iree was perfectly possessed to help, athough assured by Maritmne that there was nothing for her to do-that in her present nervous state she would otnly hinder. She dropped a glass and brokc it. It seemed as if her hands could hold nothing firmly. At last every thing was ready, and the young girl seated herself at the w~inlow. opening on the v'eranda. Marianne was in the kitchen. deliver ing to the servants or e of those lectures that was apt to precede every meal. Paillon's hands lay idle in her lap; she gazed out into .the star-lit darkness of the smiinmer night. Light nomrtmurs broke the silence, heavy perftumes came borne up)on the air. Hier thoughts, as if wafted by the breeze. fluttered here and there. Again site heard thte voice which had said: "Are you not now. sheltered as in a father's house?" Yes, Ussikow was right. What could she expect more? And yer .-he couldl bt reflect that this very m:mu was b)out founding himself a home - a home witih Marianne! Was she really the wife for him? Would he sing his beautiful songs to her evenings, and would she sit by with that ev.erlasting rochet, unmtoved1 and indifferent as now? Would she not interrupt him with all sorts of irrelevant questions as she now interrupted hier coutin1 when he read? flow deathly silent and solitary it would be w..hen these two had left the house! Then site reealled the words and melody of that song so inexpressibly ad. There were teatrs in her v'oice as she hummed it softly to herself: "C(ommey le jour inmedure Paser icin de toi!

Who knows how much I may o1n need its cheer?" inar accompanied the doctor to i udv. Scarce had the door closed behind theIm. when he said, nervously, but inl a strangely repressed voice: "Forgive me, old fellow, but this .ntust go on no longer! I must leave you. Send mne whereveryou wil], only away from here-the further the better. Let me he perfectly frank with you. I have deitived myself.

"She is no child, but the most en chanting woman God ever created for the happiness of man." " And do you believe that Desirce" -"I believe nothing as yet, but I hope," interposed Hilmar, with impas sineIl accents. "Allow me to speak with her." "For God's sake, not now! Leave mue time to :ccutt.omi myself to the tl-:ht that her youth and loveliness inay no more brig'hten my home. To nmorrow I hall be calm." And yon do not despise me for giv ing up arianmiie?"' tN. no!" said the doctor, with a sirill laugh. "-You two could never be imppy in imrriiage.

Arlnim." lIe lad searce vanished when the octor uttered a hollow groan. Sud dlen and vivid as the lightning's flash, .lamed up in his soul the colsciousness tat he loved Hlortense's child. Tihe strong man fell upon his knees, and buried his heaid in the cushions of his arm-chair. "Lost as soon as found!" he sobbed. This night sleep was a stranger to his eyes, lHe pacedl restless through his ch:nber until the morning gray-in wild conflict with an overmastering Dassion. Marianne had been right-his hour had indeed come! Love so long de laed had invaded his life not like a mild spring rain, but rather like a wild tempest overthrowing all in its path. His heart wias rent with anguish. Why had he lived, why did lie still live? What should he do without the sun shine ditl'using warmth through his house and through his whole existence? A faint spark of hope still remained The thought that if the choice lay be tween him-'and HIflmar, Desiree mighi decide for him. He recalled her grate ful affection, her loving glances, her ardent greetings, the confidences she intrusted to himt, the tone of voice in which she said: "I shall remain al ways with yotu.'' C ulil she forget all this? Could her heart turn to this casual acquaintance, this man of wthiom she knew so little good even from his own lips, who had one nothing to win the treasure of her love, whto coJnfessed that he had been about to woo another? Poor wrestler! How little he knew the heart of wom an! as if it ever re'quired time or noble deed to call forth its love! It comes, and it is there! Site loves-this is the miracle. In ninety-nine eases out of a hundredl she scarce knows why. With passionate ardor, Arnim sought to recall from his reading, from his own experience, examples of the devotion of a young girl to an elderly man--of love that had sprung from gratitude. Ahi, could she but belong to him for the rest of his life ! Never to leave him more ! How he would bear the beloved one on his hands! She should live where she wished. He would not bury her youth anti loveliness within these four narrow walls. When~i in the morn ing twilight, lie at last flung himself exhausted upon his bed :tnd slumbered, in drleamls he clasped his beauteous daingit~ to his bret, and her sweet lips wi;'ipeed' "I remain always with you!1" (To 1E CONTIN1ZED.] "Wh1at to w1oman'- Worth''l A oe ar d'nnsel ot a crusty old bach lo'' Ieli no' know, so she said: ''\.

Butler succeeded in having the flet of steamers transferrel to an American company, hurried'ly organized for the purpose, and with stars anud stripes flying, the ships continued unmolested by the French to ply between other ports and Shanghai. At the close of the war the steamers were retransferred to a company of Chinese merchants, and the busine's reputation of Butler was further enhanced. The Chinese government was hard up. and through the negotiations of Butler. a loan of a million taels was successfully tioated. with the aid of foreign banks at Shanghai. Butler made an American and European tour. He v:ent to London. where he was well received by the 3Marquis Tee. Chinese ambassador at the court of St. James.
