Tin dark eyes had ;i stor.v in their depths the proud lips trembled even as sin smiled. "Where have I seen a faee something like it?" lie asked himself. Then In remembered that it was in one of hi: favorite pictures hanging in the Lou vre. He hud gone himself to thcstuMoi to meet her. Lady Hrandon was vorj slirewd, and Ksit limine \>.in shrewde: still. He fell, thai he might betraj himself. So he had decided on meet ing Veronica that ti first shock might pass uhperceived. And a shock it was when she looked upat him wit h (i in I i;i eyes. I to stood still fora few moments heat ing hstck the anguish that almost mastered him; then he held out hi' hands in greeting to her. "Veronica," he said gently, "we! come to England!" He did not kis: the beautiful face he dared not I rusi himself. "Welcome," he repeated adding, "Do you speak English?" To his surprise she answered him ii English; she spoke the language ex ccedingly well, hut withaslight foreigi accent that was very musical anc charming. "Yes. 1 speak English; it was my owi wish. 1 learned by mv own desire my aunt wsis very unwilling." "Why did you wish to learn?" h< said, "it is iiarsh after your beautiful liquid Italian." k 1 I H.'l HIlDt f I?1 1 W1 1 f cnti 11?\ liilur ennio cd always to stir in my heart at llu very mention of Kngland.

"It was a foreboding," slie replied "it was because 1 had to route to lOng land." Then she glanced at him again "Are you iny guardian?" she askec timidly. "Yes," he replied. "1 came to ineel you; I thought you would feel dull a1 lirst in a strange country." "I have been dull till my life," slu said, with a smile?t he saddest smil< he had ever seen." "We must i ry to make you happier,' he said. "Why are you my guardian?" slu asked. "1 cannot understand it. Mt aunt never spoke to me of you tint i she was flying, and then she told im that faraway in Hngland there lived ; rich gentleman who would he my guar dian when she was dead that 1 was l< live with him in Kngland and he dooili to him. It will not he ditlicull to hi very docile to yon.'' "Why?" he asked. "ttceause 1 like you she answerei simply. "I can always tell at first sight whether I shall like any one o: not, and 1 do like you." lie helped her into the carriage and sat down hy her side, t he servant s wen busy with her suggage. Mr. Sogravt drove home with Sir Jasper and hi? ward and all the way the baronet was saying to himself "This is Giulia's daughter; that beautiful head lay on Giulia's breast ?that is Giulia's child!" He longei to clasp iter in his arms, to say, "Vol have your mother's eyes, child; yoi have t he same sweet voice and t lie s;iim loving heart." All his fancied dislike melted as lit gazed on her. He wondered how hi could have hated her, how he could have forgot ton her. He reproachei himself for if with hitter reproaches How could he have been unkind li Giulia's child? "I have been dull til my life," she had said, and the word: smote him with pain, lie longed ti say to her, "1 am your father, Vcron ica, uut my iovc ior your momcr l! h1 int up in my heart, it is my cherish ed secret; it is so sacred to mc that cannot talk of it; 1 cannot tell other of it; it is the very core of my heart.' lie was sorely tempted,bu "Not yet he said to himself?"not yet." Il< turned to her suddenly. 3 "Tell mc about your life, Veronica,"' he said. " What made it so <1 nil? llov have you spent it?" "I have lived always with my Ann' Assunta," she replied, "and my ami was a woman whose heart must hav< l>een broken when she was very young i think. She never laughed, she neve even smiled, but she hated the Knglish 'Thev :ire ji<< nm-tidioiK vhi? ciih 'm Judas. The sun never shines on Kng land; it is always dark with Heaven': frown.'

And lie knew from that moment I that any secret, anything whicl . touched his interests, was as safe it her hands as in his own. He novel i forgot t he expression of utter astonish - ment on Lady Braneion's face as tin 1 young girl came forward, with hot I graceful,self-possessed manner to speak to her. i "I really thought," she said after : ward to her hushand, "that, an old Venetian ligure had descended from its frame.

I want her to like I he yound stranger. See that is a pretty pie 1 tore." Husband and wife were standing by the fireplace in the Yellow Drawing' room as one of t he pret I iest apart inent: at Queen's Chace was called. The twi > girls were a t t he ot her end kat hcrhu ! seated on a low chair, her golden head I thrown back, and Veronica kneeling on the lloor by her side. The t.wt i faces were each lovely, hut differed en tirely. Veronica was gazing at the > Kngiish girl with something like rap ture in her face. Katherine was a new revelation of beauty to her. "Tell me something about youi home," said Katherine. "The one i dream of my life is to go to Italy: but papa will never hear of it." veronica g ve one hasty glance across the room to the dark, handsome 1 face of the man who had so great ai - influence over her. Kemcinbering hei promise, she answered , " Ask me about anyl hing you w ill," % she replied, "except about home. I cannot, speak of it."

I The dark eyes tilled slowly will s tears. ' "You will love mo?" she said. "It ' seems impossible: it is too good it 3 cannot be true. You will really love me?"

"It isall ended now." said KatheI rine; "you have us to love you" ' "Yos.it is ended," returned Veronica. " I)o you know, (Jaterina. that I 1 could not believe the world was fair or ' bright? 11,seemed to me Impossible. I knew that the skies wore blue, and . that the light of the sun was all golden, but I did not understand t be , glory and tlie loveliness that seem common to you. Once, long ago, I . found an old book of poems, and I read I hem. They were all about the beauty and passion and tenderness of life.

('at erina I like to glvoyou the sweet soft Italian name that for long years I have had but one t bought. and that was how soon Heaven would let me die?" Killherine caressed t he dark shining wlives of hair. "Such thoughts as those have brought all those myst leal sliadows into your eyes, Veronica: we must 1 have no more of t hem," she said. , ' Even my name," remarked the girl, "hits a sad kind of music in it. A ml so you love me, Kat herine? Tell me what to do for you, how to thank , you, how to serve you. I will sec your , eyes, i will hour with your cars, i ,. shall go to sleep happy, 1 shall wake up . happy, thinking to myself that some , one dooms me beaut ifn 1, and 1 hat some . one loves me. You have brightened all my life for me by your goodness." "I do not think it is good." said . K.atherine; "with me it is simply that I I cannot help it." i "It might have been dliferent," re joined Veronica. "You might have been angry and vexed that a si ranger > should come into your home t he very ' heart of your home as it were you might have received me coolly, treated me unkindly, laughed at me even > because of my si range dress and st range < manners but you have been an angel of goodness to me. for that," she - cont inucd, with a sudden passion t hat > made her so beaut iful, " I will give you my life should you need it, my service ; always, love if you will take it, my heart always."

Then, as they talk> (-(I longer, gradually they changed ' attitudes; it was Veronica who became I the protector, and Kathortnc the r, younger sister. Their lives had tieen so ? dilTerent, yet they wore children of one father. Veronica's one wonder ' was t he long shining golden hair. She never tired of caressing it, of twining it round her lingers, of praising it. 441>d yon know," she said to Katharine," that once oil. long ago! 1 was ' arranging an old wardrobe for my aunt and I saw a little parcel of while paper? 1 opened it. and inside it lay a ' long tress of shining golden hair so ' much like this. I was almost frighten1 ed at it, for it seemed to twine round my lingers as t hough it were living. 1 took it to my aunt and showed it to her. She grew so angry. 'Whenever you see hair like that," she. said, 'always pray that Knland may he ruined by its own gold, by the greed of its ' sons and the folly of its daughters.' nor words come back to my mind now as 1 hold this golden hair in my hands." "They were very horrible words, and your aunt must have boon wicked to niter them. What harm had the Knglish done her?" I "1 cannot tell, but she hated them, i She was angry that I wished to learn lOnglish; but I would. It was strange, r tbat when she hated it I should love it. I think Kngland beautiful. Our ? Venice is perhaps one of the fairest . spots on earth, but everything seems i In iglhcr and happier here. "I'apa," said Katharine that same i evening, "I fancy your ward Veronica has been very unhappy all her life." "I hope not," he ret urned quiet ly. "I fell sure of it . I have been con' trusting her lot with mine. How strange it is, papa, that in this world tilings are so unequal! Some have so much, others so little. Veronica seems to me to have had nothing." I le made no reply but bethought to himself that it was hard, seeing that I they were children of one father. ; Later on he drew Katharine's golden i head down and kissed her face. "You will be kind to Veronica, my dear," he said. "A Joyless Jife is hard ! to hear." l And Katherine obeyed him because it was impossible to know Veronica ? and not to love her. ; i*f nr, ( ii^ riM K|>) I Spring h'over.

Special:- Pho Chief object of interest and a subject of general conversation is tile approaching campaign the summer stump-speaking in the I >cm<>crutit: I party. Whilst the withdrawal of j Senator McLuurin necessarily changed the character of the contest for the succession to I lie place which he now I holds, yet Interest in that contest continues to lie very considerable. It j is true, there will probably not be much in the way of discussion of! "issues" of questions of public policy I on which the Democratic voters may be said to entertain conflicting opinions. There is general concession that the money question need not now cm guge the time or thought of people or of aspirants. Many careful observers of public events consider that the silver question was finally settled in the last light for t he Presidency. However 111is may lie, there can he no occasion, anion# the candidates for McLaurin's place, for any agitation of the silver question about which, as matter of fact, the people of South Carolina are mao.lienllv r?f rm*> t.iO./i The candidates for the Senate may therefore content themselves with a mere statement of their position. The money question being thus eliminated. there will be bet t.er opportunit y to present other matters of immediate interest imperialism, trusts, tarilf, Cuban policy. The separat ion of the State canvass from the senatorial gives ample t ime for calm discussion of these matters, and the qualifications of the candidates already announced for interesting the people are all that may be desired.

"a novkl cask." In the Supreme Court last Tuesday there was heard a ease of unusual ' character and unusual interest in South Carolina. A few months back ' a suit was brought by a merchant of 1 this city M Frank -against John T. Duncan, I0sq., a practicing lawyer ' of this city. Frank charged that on Mr. Duncan's statement that one 101 la Taylor, colored, had a good title to a certain lot In this city, agreed to lend her $250 on a mortgage of the * same. The mortgage was executed 1 and Mr. Duncan receipted to Frank for the $250?the receipt setting forth that 1011a Taylor's title to the lot was yet to be perfected. 'Frank after- I wards tried to use the mortgage as J collateral for a loan, and 'then found (as he says) that 1011a Taylor had no title to the lot. In the meantime , Mr. Duncan had not paid over the j BSBPr^Ci-. Frank brought ^SM^^isf Mr. Duncan, and the court that tlie latter should pay OTtfrui Knnk tbo $250.

In the absence of the chief justice, the duties of presiding judge devolved upon the senior associate, the lion. Y. J. Pope of Newberry. Of the manner in which he discharged this duty a writer in The State says: "The disability of Chief Justice MrIvor deeply regretted by all the people of South Carolina devolved upon the Hon. Y. ,1. Pope, as the senior associate justice, the duty of presiding in the supreme court during I ho entire April term just ended. In this relation Mr. Justice Pope exhibited in a high degree the quaiilications of a presiding judge courtesy, readiness, fairness, and aptitude for the dispatch of business. Those members of the bar whose engagements brought them in the court at any time during the term will heartily unite in the opinion thus expressed." COM'MIIIA KKMAI.IC COLLKOK. Considerable interest is felt, all over the State in the proposition to remove the Columbia Female College from LIiis city to some other point in South Carolina. The conditions'of removal arc stated by the trustees as follows: I.

The I ward in its recommendation to the annual conference will consider the desirability of a town as a location, the character and value of the sites ottered, and similar questions as well as the the amount of money offered. 4. In case of removal or enlargement, to appeal to the people of the State generally in behalf of the college to supplement the amounts realized from the sale of the old property and the contributions of the citizens securing the location -such contributions to go into the college plant, unless otherwise specitied by their donors. The cities which have up to this time manifested interest in the removal of the college arc Sumter, Aiken, (ireenwooci and Laurens. The t wo latter appear to be the most zealous. A committee from each of these cities has appeared before tlifc board and urged t hat a committee be sent around to look at the various sites. A letter making a similar request was received from Aiken, and a similar request was understood to come from Sumter. What will be the outcome of the matter cannot now be foretold. The college ranks high among our institutions of learning, and its location in any community is at once an honor and a benellt. UK IKK MKNTION.
