STAY THOU NVITH ME, SWEET HOPE.
Stay thou with mo. Sweet Hope.
For the way is dork and Ion#, ,
And my feet doth wander from
The straight and narrow path,
So hidden 'mid the encircling gloom. 1
Stay thou! O leave me not
Until my darkened way
Doth end in radiant light—
Until my wearied feet
Doth find that perfect reati
Stay liiou with me, Sweet Hope.
For my heart is faint and weak.
And my faith doth falter in
The hard and dubious fight,
So smitten by opposing foes!
Stay thoul O leave me not
Until my fainting heart
Doth drink this boundless strength—
Until my faith is 'gulfed
In his omniscience!
Stay thou with me, Sweet Hope,
For my life is sad and core,
And my soul doth shudder at
Earth’s stern, despairing face.
So dismal by its want of thee.
Stay thou! O leave me not
Until my life is safe
In his eternity—
Until my soul is wrapped
In his infinity!

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.
ChArTKit 1—Rose Mallory, while
being driven through a great wheat
field in the Santa Clara valley, is de
layed by the breaking of a wheel. A
ranchman named Dawson comes to
her assistance. While waiting for
him to arrange matters so that she
can proceed, she talks with an inter
esting young man who is of an in
ventive turn and whose name is
Thomas Bent. Sho is on her way to
visit an old friend of her father, Maj.
Randolph.
Chaptku 2.—Rose arrives at the
ranch of Maj. Randolph. lie is the
second husband of a French woman
who had, when ho married her, two
children. The girl is named Adele
and her brother, now a young man,
Emile. The domestic atmosphere at
the Randolphs'is not always uncloud
ed. Mme Randolph suggests, much
to the major's disgust, tliat a match
between Emile and Rose would not be
injudicious.
Chaptkr 3.— Rose is somewhat
dazzled by the dignified French man
ners of Mme. Randolph and her chil
dren. Emile is on the brink of a pro
posal when an earthquake shakes tlie
house. He runs away, leaving Rose
to take care of herself. She escapes
unharmed. Fearing another shock
the family improvise a shelter, rather
than spend the night in tho house.
Chaptkr 4.—Rose wanders away
on a stroll and accidentally meets Bent
She learns that that the flow from the
artesian well, on which tho welfare of
the major’s plantation depends, lias
been stopped by tho earthquake.
When night conies she is unable to
sleep and goes for a walk. She unin
tentionally hears Mme. Randolph talk
ing to the major about tho possible
match between her and Emile. The
major protests, whereupon Mme.
Randolph asserts that Rose lias vol
untarily placed herself in a com
promising situation with Emile.

J scription of tho man before her, and
said abruptly, “You know her then'/”
“A little,” replied the young man

; She's very well brought up, and her
manners are very refined—don’t you
j think so?—and yet she's just as simple
: and natural as a country girl. There’s a
groat deal in education after all, isn't
there?” ho wont on confidentially; “and
although”—ho lowered hia voice and
looked cautiously around him—“I be
lieve that some of u:i here don’t fancy
her mother much, there’s no doubt that
Mrs. Randolph knows how to bring up
her children. Some people think that
kind of education is all artificial and
don't believe in it—hat I do!”
With the consciousness that she was
running away from these people and the
shameful disclosure she ha 1 heard last
night, the recollection of Adele’s scan
dalous interpretation of her most inn>
cent actions and her sudden and com
plete revulsion against all that she had
previously admired in that household—
to hear this man. who inid seemed to
her a living protest against their ideas
and principles, now expressing them and
holding them up for emulation, almost
took her breath away.
“I suppose that moans that yon intend
to look after Maj. Randolph’s well for
him?” she said dryly.
“Yes,” he returned, without noticing
her manner, “and I think I can find that
water again. Fv • been studying it up
all night. And do yon know what I'm
going to do? I am going to inako tho
earthquake that lost it help mo to find it

enthusiasm. “Do you remember tho

there, and then! Sho remembered sad
denly she had not yet determined what
to do. Should sho go on at once to Kan
Francisco, or telegraph to her father and
await him at San Jose. In either case a
new fear of tho precipitancy of her ac-
tion%nd tho inadequacy of her reasons
had sprung up in her mind. Would her
father understand her? Would ho un
derrate the cause and he mortified at the
insult sho had given the family of his
old friend, or, more dreadful still, would
hs exaggerate her wrongs and seek a
personal quarrel with tho major. He
was a man of quick temper and had the
western ideas of redress. Perhaps even
now she was precipitating a duel be
tween them! Her checks grow wan
again, her breath came quickly; tears
gathered in her eyes. Oh, she was a
dreadful girl, she knew it! She was an
utterly miserable one. and she knew
that too!
Tho reins were tigutened. the pace
lessened and at last ix-li to a walk. Con-
fews of her telltale eyes and troubled
face she dared not turn to her compan

the fields.
“When you first came I didn't get to

reckon I know your father.”
Her father! What made him say that?
Sho wanted to speak but ehe felt she
could not. In another moment, if he wen t
on, she must do something—she would
cry!
“I reckon yon’ll he wanting to go to

wondered the more that he had been so

It struck her that he had no ulterior

she could make any reply Dawson reap-

what she had overheard.

Addenbrooke put his ann about Lydia
and, drawing her head b’ bis shoulder
stroked her hair backward and forward
with Ids kind hand.
Her reoital iiad pained liim. He knew
tlie perildity of his sex, but this particu
lar offender had gone beyond a!! recog
nized limits; limits which, in his own
pel-son, Johnny had always refused to
recognize. The thought of the misery
inflicted on his proud, sensitive, passion
ate Lydia made him sick with anger and
speechless with sympathy He rose at
last and, buttoning up his coat, tried to
speak in tones of reassuring cheerfulness
“By the by, Lydia, Fleming baa come

him on account of his new book. He’s
just tlie sort of man to enjoy being lion

Lydia looked at him, spsecUe^ and

‘From what I hear, you’ve no cause to

“Oh. of course, ones pestered with
invitations from a lot of silly women
one never heard of!" grumblod the new
lion, "but isn’t there anything in tin
shape of news?"
•"Well.” said Addenbrooke. slowly
there is one piece of news, hut I don’t
know that it’s interesting I am thinking
of getting married.”
Addenbrooke had never been a sin
man; he was only very modest, and in
hsd not accustomed his friends to takr
an interest In Ids affairs
Fleming opened his eyes full and stared
his friend in the face. There was always
something startling in his appearance
under these circumstances: perhaps lie
muse Ids eyes were so rarely shown-
pet haps because of some quality in tlie
eyes themselves. Tliey were curiously
bright and very brown—not a black
manque, but a beautiful, unusual brown
Looking at them, it was easier to real
iae the power, such as it was, which
Lawrence Fleming possessed over Ids
fellow creatures.
“Addenbrooke," he said, leaning for
ward and speaking with sudden in
Uiusity, “as you value your peace of
mind, liavo nothing to do with women!'
He flung himself back, laughing a lit
Re, and letting fall his eyelids. In a few
minutes he burst into a fierce tirade
•gainst the whole female sex, taking Ad
duibrooke’s announcement merely as a
text.
Even Johnny was disappointed at this
lack of interest on the put of his friend
but remembered having heard that Law
rence had been hard hit before he went
to Africa—that nothing less. Indeed, than
a broken heart had sent him forth to
those distant shores.
Then, before Addenbrooke knew what
was happening, Fleming plunged into
tho very heart of his own particulai
grievance.
“It was last year,” he said, “at a coun
try house. It began from the moment
sho came Into the room. I don’t pretend
that she was tho first; but it was differ

she was-good looking, but there was

and at the end of the time I told her

Tlie next day, as it happened, I was pre

I wrote and told her this, begging her to
fix a day for my visit She made no
reply, and four days later I called at the

Tho next day l accepted the offer of Tlie

even allowed me to kiss her. I suppose

“Any matches?" said Fleming, with

Johnny made no answer, and tho ether

This time Addcnbrocko was roused,
and came over to the table. “What's
