•It is true, Helene. God knows I
would spare yon the nnin, ifin anyway,
wilb honor, 1 could do so Child, your
father loved mo and left you to my care.
Can I see you wronged, and stand si
lently by? Yon come of a proud race,
and simple and gentle as I know you to
be, I know mIso the Unrleton pride lies
dormant within you.”
Halbert Astor had spoken the truth,
and Helene Carleton felt he had done
so. She w:ts prond. not with arrogance
or hauteur, but with & sweet, grave,
womanly pride, a pride that lay buried
beneath an al.i ost childish simplicity
of manner.
She was very lovely, this blue-eyed
S ’rl, who stood listening with paling
ce to the story of lier lover’s falseness,
the story told by this man who loved
her so madly himself.
Her thoughts strayed hack now. to
the evening he h:ul told her his love —
the day he had pleaded as a man might
plead for life itself, and she had an
swered him gravely, gently, but decid
edly, "No.” Her heart was another’s,
she had acknowledged to his passionate
questioning.
She raised her eyes to his face now,
and he felt his heart grow cold at the
look of nain in their shadowy depths.
Ah, Heaven, what would he not give
to be loved as Glendon Withers was
loved by this girl, whom out of all the
world his soul coveted!
How lovely she was, with her wavy
pale-gold hair and lily-fnir complexion,
tinted with rose-pink on the softly-
rounded cheeks, with her curving mouth
so ripe and red, her dimpled chin and
slender girlish form, her stately little
head set so gracefully on her rounded
neck!
She remeinlxjred his love-story and
passionate pleading, but it was no
warning to a nature so pure and true as
hers.
If he loved her, he would save her
pain—it would make him more careful
of wounding her unnecessarily.
The story he told her was thi*: that
her lover her promised husband—was
looked upon as the suitor of another.
He read her a quotation from a letter
In which Glcndcn was spoken of. Per
fectly unwitting was the writer, how
ever, of the dau age his idle pen would
do.
He was stopping in the same city
with Glendon, nut not, however, in the
same house; fate had not favored him
so far, bxit had located Glendon in the
home of a girl as beautiful as ever was
maiden before.
And Glendon was infatuated—her
smiles dazzled him. The light of her
eyes was his heaven.
At least, such was his friend’s judg
ment on the cflVct of LeonoUa’s beauty
on Glendon Withers.
How near ho - us right, how far he
was w.-ong. we • ighl decide ourselves
if we saw L.-oi etla Meredith and Glen-
don to .etl er, but to do that we must
cross l'';'’ < hunnei,for Glendon is abroad
in the gayest of all gay cities,the queen
of music a d mirth, the city of lightand
laughter and sparkling champagne—

We cross the water and see them to

can come to none.

And then foe*, la the very midst of

After all, with all her weakness, wo
man is wiser then man, for she seldom
dashes into an sot of madness without
writing to suffer swhile;but man—well,
Gleudon Withers was a pretty good ex
ample of what a man mad for a mo
ment with pain and humiliation will do,
for what he did was this: asked Leon
etta Meredith to marry him, and cursed
himself an hour later for his folly.
But the die was cast In honor he
oould not retreat, and one .qpist day he.
"made Leonetta his wife—made her his
wife eu the very day that Helene Carles
ton knelt below the low window-sill of
her room, trying to decide would she
believe her lover true or false.
“I will trust him,” she said softly;
‘'what is love without faith?”
And so she trusted him; and at the
same moment his arms encircled anoth
er whose head lay on his bosom, and
who bore to him the most sacred of ti
tles—his wife.
Yes, Leonetta was his wife. She had
reached the crowning-point of her am
bition, and—waa she satisfied?
No—most certainly.
A mad passionate love tilled her
breast—a love that refused her rest dr
pence. A fiery flame that seemed to
consume her very being.
She realised the truth with clear dis
cerning eyes. She was an unloved
wife, neither more nor less, and the
thought was maddening.
She had dreamed that wealth, and
position, and gratified ambition would
fill her heart, but once obtained, they
turned to ashes in her bosom—a Dead
Bea fruit that held but bitterness to tho
oore.
“Love, love; give me his love!” her
soul cried night and day; “to obtain
that, I would barter soul and body.”
Once she came on a pictured face
among her husband's treasures. A fair
young face, calm &iri serene, the low
white brow shaded oy silken curls, the
sweet sensitive mouth slightly apart
with a smile.
And then this woman, who for years
had believed love but a second or third
accessory of life, if even that, indeed,
had found it the one thing mo-tt to bo
desired on eaiqh.
Day by day her passionate love for
her husband increased, kept burning to
a feverish flame by the knowledge of
how far she was from reigning in his
heart.
Not that willingly, by word or deed,
did Glendon Withers give sign of the
terrible truth of tho knowledge of his
awakening from the passion of temper
that had conquci^d his reason for a
while.
Under the spell of her dark eyes, un
der the subtle wooing of her manner,
and half maddened by Hdene’scolddis
missal, ho had yielded to passion's im
pulse, and wed a woman no felt by in
tuition was far from worthy to fill the
place Helens iiad once promised to
bold.
The past was past, however. The i
words spoken could never be recalled.
For good or ill, for better or worse,
Leonetta was his wife.
One evening I^eonetta strayed down
by a glade that lay below the hotel to
which her husband had taken her.
Her beautiful face was unusually pale,
and she sat thoughtfully down on alow
grassy mound.
‘It is strange,” shw murmured hall
aloud, “that tlds evening, in particular,
his memory haunts me so persistently!”
Not strange, had she known tho
truth, for coming events cast their
shadows before.
Even then, down in the shrubbery
below where she sat,a pair of dark fierce
eyes were watching her with aa expres
sion not good to see.
“I will await mytime,”tbe man mur
mured; “in th^ height of her triumph I
will humble hdf in tho dust.”
* • • • •
A brilliant ballroom, the mirth at its
height, dancing and music, mirth and
laughter, the order of the night
he grounds around the mansion
ablaze aa well, and nothing that money
could procure left lacking to add beau
ty to the scene.
And one of the fairest maidens there
was blue-eyed Helene Carleton, robed
in ivorv-colored satin, her soft gold
curls clnstering around her dainty head,
her soft white throat clasped with
creamy pearls, while a few priceless
ones elustered above her brow.
And below tha lower corridor, two
men faced each other, pale-faced and
stern, while the bride of one of them
impatiently awaited her husband’s com
ing in the ante-room.
The men were Glendon Withers and
Halbert Astor, and with pale set face
the former listened, while Helene’s
guardian told him—what?
Simply this: That Helene know noth
ing of the letter sent him, that she had
loved—nay, did love and trust him still,
and knew nothing of his marriage with
Leonetta.
“You must break tho newsyourself, ,f
Halbert said. “I dare not It will kill
her.”
What answer Glendon would have
made was never known.for this instant,
flushed and pearl-crowned, a smile on
her lips, Helene came up the corridor
leaning on her escort's arm.
The next moment forgetting all else,
Glendon was holding her hands in his.
Only fora moment—the next he re
membered all He must tell his sensi
tive blue-eyed girl, whom be loved with
all his heart, that in a moment of pas
sion be had made another woman his
wife.
He led her into the grounds, and then
Halbert sought Leonetta. ■
“Yoar husband commissioned me,”

his arm. ^
He led her to the grounds as well,

startling all the bright assembly.
Leonetta had grasped Helene's atm,
her poniard uplifted, and then Glendon
had leaped between them.
It was a man’s cry of agony that rang
out, for the glittering Weapon was bur

bosom.
He had saved Helene. He had given
his own life to do sa

He opened his eyes with aa effort.
“It—it was—it was an accident,”
he said, then lapsed into unconscious
ness.
None contradicted the statement—
be meant to save the honor of his
name.
Then suddenly into the crowd pushed
a man, dark-eyed and pale-faced.
He looked around till his eyes fell on
Leonetta, who fell back, white, and al
most senseless.
He pointed to the ihrinffing woman.
“It was no accident,” he said; “that
woman is guilty of crime.’

The next moment the group in the
room was swaying from side to side—
shrieks and horrified cries, the report
of a pistol, another horrified shriek more
terrible than the rest, two white arms
tiyown in the air, a slender form that
swayed for a moment & horrible red

robe, and then beautiful, sinful Leocet-
ta Meredith had fallen forward, shot
through the heart by the man who called
himself her husband.
In tho terrible excitement that fol
lowed, the murderer escaped,but months
after bis claim was proved true.
For many long weary weeks Glendon
Withers hovered between life and
death, but by God’s providence life
was conqueror, and the blessed boon of
health was his again.
Then, one quiet morning, he and
Helene knelt side by side, and spoke
the vows that made them one, and en
tered upon a life in whose perfect bliss
the pa*t was almost forgotten.
There was one man conspicuous by
his absence at the time, and that was
Halbert Astor, whose treacherous hand
had worked such woe.
But joy had come with renewed frith
to Gleudon aud Helene, and perhaps
their love was deeper and purer for
the trials they had gone through.
Artemue Ward and Tom Pepper.
'the
Tom Pepper, who is known
>cerlcss prevaricator of Nevada,” led a
Bohemian life here years ago. One
day, hearing of Artemus Ward s arrival
at the International Hotel, in breathless
haste he rushed away to interview tho
great humorist. He ran at once to
Ward’s room and, knocking, was in
stantly admitted.
“Artemus Ward, I believe!"
Artemus signified that the guess was
a good one.
T am delighted to meet you,” cried
Tom—“delighted to meet you, sir.”
“And I have the pleasure of seeing?
and tho smiling Ward looked a
whole line of interrogation points.
“I am—I am—that is my name is”—
gasped Tom—“my-name is. Well,Just
wait a moment till I think,” and Tom
ran out of the room and closed the
door behind him, leaving Artefuus
standing in the middle of the floor.
A After a few moments in the hall Tom
rushed back toward the astonished
Ward with extended hand and glowing
crying: “Pepper, Pepper, sir!

said slowly; “do yon know
who thev are?”
With naughty paling face Leonetta
followed the direction of his eyes.
“One is my husband,” she said quiet
ly; “tha ether ”
“The woman ho still love*—Hclsne
Carleton, hie betrothed wife, who by
some fatal mistake was parted from
as U
I’m Mr. Pepper—Tom Pepper—better
known as Lying Tom Pepper.”
Kingston—Ward’s agent—was out at
the moment Thinking h? had an in
sane man to deal with, Artemus
smiled the most cheerful smile then at
his command. He declared he had
often heard of Mr. Pepper, and was de
lighted to meet him. At the moment
ho was about to change his sock: would'
Mr. Pepper be kind enough to with
draw and call round again in half an
hour. Mr. Pepper would, and did.
When Mr. Kingston came in Arte
mus had a fearful story to tell about
his adventure with a crazy man.
Afterward, when Ward came to know
that a seuso of his greatness aa a
humorist had so overcome poor Tom as
to cause him to forget his own name,
tho genial lecturer deciared it was the
greatest compliment that had ever been
paid him.—Virginia (Sev.) Enterprise.

A MODERN CBUSOM*
•mueatto Tan* That Skoald PrateM? fee
TeM totts Wanes*.
A New Yoftc contribution to tike eri-
nmns of the Boston Qlcbe relate* the
following Interesting and romaatio
Story:
A few days ago a man about sixty
years of ago, with the appearance of an
old farmer, and very taciturn, register
ed at ti e Sinclair House, under the
name of Esra W. Forman, Nomora,
Pleiades group, Pacific Ocean. CM*
vernation shows him to be a very intel-
Bgwet ww. He tolb a wonderful tale.
He sars in substance that in the year
1347 the ship Oomulgoc of Waneoam
was honavward bound with full load,
trywerks overboard, and triahs- aad
kegs of oil stowed in every top. After
leaving Lahnina, S. I„ October 7, with
850 barrels of sperm, 3,250 barrel* of
whale oil, and 41,000 pounds bone, aha
wa*< never heard from. Forman was
boat-stcercr. He claims be ts the sole
survivor, and states that the chip was
wrecked on Noraora, an island in the
Pleiades group, and gives the following
romantic story of tho wreck:
“The Ocmnlgee went ashore on No
mura in Dccemoerf 1847, and all hands
were drowned excepting myself, Mar
tin, the cook, and an Hawaiian tailor
named Waihee. All the oil casks were
stove, and the ship gradually hove over
the roof, until anally the survivors
could walk around her at low water.
“Through the Hawaiian I was en
abled to talk to the chief ou the island.
I explained the uses that might h* made
of the variops articles, and assisted by
natives got everything out of the ahlp,
including the bone, and then broke ap
the ship, saving plank*, arils, anchors,
chains and whaling gear.
“We were given houses, lands and
wires, accepted our position fond deter
mined to make the best of it, and except
that we were exiles from home s»»a
friends, were content and happy. I taught
the natives many of the ruder arta,and
they prospered greatly. But the natives
feared to lose us, and when a ship came
in sight hurried us away into the inter
ior until the foreign vessels had passed
on.
“Later my two companions died aad
1 waa left alone. Surrounded by my
children and grandchildren, 1 was final
ly acknowledged to be ti)eir ruler, and
ray word was their law. I told them I
must go to ray friends, but had to
swear by their gods that I would return.
Finally a sandal-wood trader touched
there, I embarked in her, waa in
Sidney, and made my way here riter
much trouble and time.”
Such ia Forman’s atory. Now cornel
another remarkable tale. He says the
whalebone is in prime condition, and
from the time of its wreck to the pres
ent day a native has always been on
guard over it, aud that regularly oac*
a week its position has been shifted to
save it from rats and mold. Forman
say* that his two companions left a
number of children who axe now big
and healthy, and that he has tweniy-
nine sons and daughters and aixty-nine
grandchild rcu. Some Philadelphia
merchant* have taken stock in For-
mau's story, have advanced him $6,000
worth of goods, chartered a steamer
and she will soon leave New York for
tho Pleiades, to carry out this modem
Alexander Selkirk and bring back the
bone, estimated to be worth now from
$160,000,to $175,000.
The story ia a romantic one and the
appearance W Forman carries truth
with it; but a Nantucket matiaamn, to
whom the tale has been submitted, who
is conversant with whaling matterfo
doubts it from first to last, and advises
the merchants, responsible ones, by the
way, to examine Forman and his Mary
very carefully before accepting its truth,
The gentleman who has advised oa the
matter says thtrn never .was. a ehte
Ocmulgee of Warobam in the yrhaUng
business that was lost The only
whaler of that name was owned in
Holmes Hole, and sailed repeatedly-
from that port from 1844 until, in 188fo
she was burned by the Confederate
cruiser Alabama. There are also other
