Dear Bel I went to church, last nljrht,

At Itvwt I think so. What b there, pray,

They talked over all their pant live*.
Mrs. Roosevelt felt the neeil of hasten
tug the departure from the "pocket,”
but not withstanding her efforts it was
toward the middle of February when
everything was ready There had been
many things to do. Colonel Chenier'*
library, so rich in mediteval poetry and
romance was sent away in large boxes
to Savannah Rosalie assisted in the
packing and peeped into the old French
toiues and manuscript rolls with some
thing like her former relish. It seemed
to her that every one of these contained
some half suppressed allusion to the land
of her dreams No doubt it was quite
natural for her thns to cheat herself, for
all the old romances were fnll of cha
teaux and olive groves and vineyards,
where knights rode in pleasant lanes be
side their lady loves, or played the Inte
under the walls by moonlight, or gal-
lulled away to the wars with a warm
kiss tingling on their bearded lips. And
had not her father been reading these to
her from her childhood, and telling her
about Chateau Chenier and her knightly
ancestors who dwelt in the land of the
mistral and the troubadour?
What vivid pictures, too. the strong de
script! ve talks of Eilgar Julian had given
her of those crumbling walls, those fer
vid skies and those orchard crowned,
breezy hills! Her visions were none the
less fair and enticing seen through the
haze of her sorrow
She did not go to the spring any more,
for though she felt sure that Ellis had
gone away, she shrank from seeing even
the spot where she had witnessed his
awful passion.
When the time at last came for going
back to Savannah, it was not with any
well defined regret that she bade fare
well to the mill and the little crisp val
ley Adelaide seemed much affected,
and quietly wept all the way over the
mountain. Colonel Chenier suffered
too, but he sternly controlled himself,
even calmly talking with Annt Mar
guerite as the carriage bore them through
the devions way among the hills and
gray-green groves of oaks and pines.
Tlie Roosevelt mansion had grown to
be Rosalie's home, a.id she was like a
child jnst returned from a long journey
when she again found herself in her
stately and apaciuns room Adelaide
was qmet and sad. but Colonel Chenier,
taken unawares by Mr Roosevelt’s cor
dial friendliness and hospitality, waa
tempted out of hta gloom He was nap
orally a companionable man. generous
and courteous, and it required very little
to draw ont all his latent good qaalitisa.
He and Mr. Roosevelt met a* thongb
nothing disagreeable had ever existed
between them, they talked over all their
past lives, saving that they quietly ig
nored that,unfortunate quarrel.
One th,ing curiously affected Rosalia.
It was the absence of Edgar Jniian. Hba
bad expected to Hud him at Roosevelt
which she had arensed hint Snch a
thing was not imjsiesible, and yet ah*
felt sure that she could no! have been j
mistaken in recognizing him as he fol
lowed her and Talbot, lute a sinister
shadow, on that lovely and never-to-he-
forgotten night
One day, abont a week after her re
turn to Roosevelt Place, Rosalie was sit
ting at her window reading in one of her
father's favorite romances, or rather she
hail been reading and was now idly gaz-
ing into the street below, when a car
riage rolled slowly by A servant in
livery was driving. Inside were a noble
j looking middle aged man, a fair, plump,
lovely girl, and Frank Ellis She had
seen this man once before, and knew he
was Sir Edmund Kane, the young lady,
as she rightly supposed, was Miss Ellen,
Sir Edmond's daughter. Ellis seemed
quite happy, as did also the others, their
faces smiling, their conversation appar
ently animated and free. The English
girl was charmingly dressed, and her
face, though not beautiful, was high
bred and fascinating, and her form was
■uperb
A strange feeling crept over Rosalie
as she looked down upon this passing
group It was like a breath of ex
quisite sorrow or regret; her heart
seemed to fall low In her breast and
Hatter painfnlly. Some sweet thing her
fancy had been nursing slipped awsy
from her Ellis turned his eyes toward
the house. She retreated from the win
dow for fear he might see her; then she
sank into a chair and cried, she knew
not why Life seemed to her to lie
growing hollow and meaningless; its
zest hud slipped away, like a perfnme
from a withering flower. She began to
lie restless and impatient for the time to
come round when she and her father,
with Annt Marguerite and Adelaide,
wonld go across the sea, but the thought
of the jonraey pleased her more on ac
count of the distance it would give than
for any joy which it promised at its end.
So the days slipped |>ast. until at last a
letter came to her from Edgar J ulian.
"1 did not get to say goodby to yon,”
he wrote, "therefore I take tlie liberty
to write this instead I lingered along
the road homeward among the battle
fields of Oeorgia and Tennessee, but 1
fonnd no pleasure in what 1 saw. 1
seemed to miss something which would
have made even the brown hills charm
ing When I crossed the Ohio river I
met a great snowstorm, sent down from
Chicago to welcome me, and quite soon
the ground was covered a foot deep with
the white fleece of winter Here the
streets are all ice and snowbanks, and as
I write tbe wind is blue with cold and is
howling like a pack of hungry wolves.
1 am dissatisfied and wish I were back
in Savannah, on your uncle’s wide ve
randa. with the salt air blowing over me
and the palm trees rustling their spread
ing fans hard by. 1 don’t believe I am a
northern man any longer; the worry and
hurry of Chicago does not satisfy my
especial hunger May I come back? 1
think 1 could he less trouble to all yon
hospitable and patient southerners now;
this great distance has brought out in
strong relief all my faults and all your
gisxluess How infinitely warm and
comforting, how perfumed and luxuriant,
how breezy, how shady, how inviting is
the whole south, now that I have left itt
“1 have the hot air register wide open
in my room and a big coal fire on tlie
hearth, anil yet 1 am freezingl Won’t
you and Mrs. Roosevelt please invite me
to come back? 1 could run on errands
for yon, and make myself reasonably
useful, and I would try and not be much
in the way.
"I heard Gerster sing last night, and
Litta the night before, but 1 would!
rather be in that dim old parlor in 1
Roosevelt Place and hear ’La Mandore:’
my spirit is there now—do yon not often
hear it rustling around in its favorite
places? I stopiied at Calhoun and Resaca
as 1 came home, and while there 1 in
quired for the Chenier mill, and fonnd it
was only thirty miles distant. The temp
tation to visit it was very great, bnt 1
resisted 1 always do resist at the wrong
time.
“Frankly, I want to say that I am un
fit for bnsineas since returning, and 1
think of nothing but how I shall get
hack to Savannah without offending my
own sense of the fitness of tilings. I
have been worse since seeing in a Savan
nah paper yesterday a notice in the per
sonal colnnin of your return to Roose
velt Placei True, the paper was two
weeks old when 1 got it, bnt It had its
effect all the same.
“Yon will not be offended If I say that
1 find life a harden where you are not to
be seen and heard I want to talk with
yon and hear you sing. 1 have thought,
since I came here, of a hundred things I
forgot to tell you abont Provence and
Chateau Chenier, and I have wondered
how I passed so much time with yon and
said so littla What did we ever talk
abont? I remember nothing, save onr
last conversation, and even that had no
end—it was left in a mist. 1 told yon 1 .
loved yon. but I did not and could not
tell yon how deep and strong that love
was. how it had become the very life of
my life. My lips refused then, as my
pen does now, to express how dear yon
am to me. Forgive me if this letter
tet ms foolish to you. 1 cannot *ee my
way to any better mode of action than
this simple statement of the trnth. 1
trust yon to respect my sincerity, even
if yon must cast aside my love as some- j
thing not worth yonr keeping.”
Rosalie read this in her own room, |
read it and reread it. with a nnickened
pulse and a sweet sense of its half hope
ful. half despairing spirit It brought
Edgar Jniian before her, jnst as she had
seen him last; his strong, handsome,
truthful face full of passionate tender
ness for tier She could not think clear

her bosom. She knew what love waa

"Yes, he is," said Rocalieqntckly, lift

Adelaide (till kept her hands clasping
Rosalie’s face between them with a
gentle, loving pressure.

murmured softly.
Rosalie snddenly blushed. “1 do not |
know if I love him." she naively said,
"bnt 1 should dearly love to see him
again. 1—1 think a great deal of him.’*
Adelaide felt the inflnence of her sis
ter’s freshness as she falterell trembling
and bewildered in the midst of this
great new experience.

To find that be was gone wasa real blow
to her
“He would not stay any longer," said
Mr Roosevelt as they all sat at dinner;
“I tried to prevail on him to make bis
home in tktvannah. offered him a big
salary, with leave to do general practice
besides, but be seemed to have grown
bomeaick or tired of the south. He got
into a difficulty with young Ellis, too.
and that made him miserable."
Rosalie asked do questions—she did
not cure to bear further, but Mildred
Fain told her oil the particulars when
they met Poor Mildred! she looked
like » shadow The physicians were
still hanging over Colonel Talbot, and
still declaring his recovery quite possi

Adelaide, “love is no light thing Is be

“1 believe yon love him." said Ade

eyes, “and t am sorry of It "
Rosalie did not answer Her beauti
ful bright head drooped anil her eyes
filled with tear*
“1 do not see how yon can love a
northerner,” Adelaide continued; “ea-

Rosalie fonnd it diffisnlt to know
what she onght to write to Edgar Julian,
if she onght to write at all He had
been so kind to her. and she respected
his honorable frankness so uinch, that,
even if she conld not say she loved him,
she felt generously anxions not to wound
him. Bnt she really lunged to see him
He had filled a large space in her life,
and had revealed to her a most interest
ing contrast a* his ultra northern traits
of character struck sharply against
sonthern obstacles: not that she had
traced and defined this contrast or drawn
any conclusion from it, but she bad felt
his superior knowledge of affair* his
sturdy truthfulness, his faith in the
future of America, his belief in the value
and nobleness of lalxir. his genuine re
spect for the common people, and, on
the other hand, his rich imagination and
his tender eloquence She could not
realize the bitter memories nursed by
her father and sister touching the dark
struggle for the Lost Cause. She had uo
past to mourn over. Tbe future and the
present were her* She natnr&lly enough
had fallen in love with northern way*
It seemed to her that the world was
made for earnest, persistent people to
take and enjoy; she Itelieved In freedom
as the war had fixed it—in free educa
tion, free thought, free men and women.
She was not aware that Edgar Julian
had influenced her to believe in these
things; the doctrine seemed quite as
much her own as the old Provencal
cross; Julian had been simply a restorer
of things lost—a reviver of things in
abeyance. Rosalie keenly realized what
her answer to Julian's letter must de
cide. She puzzled her mind to discover
some happy way out of the dilemma.
She asked herself over and over again
“Do 1 love him?" and just as often she
shrank away from the responsibility of
saying yes or no. Her heart trembled,
she hesitated, faltered, dreamed. So the
days went by while Edgar Julian shiv
ered through the Chicago snowstorms
waiting for a letter He, too, was wres
tling with a problem. Ho did not shrink
from acknowledging his love—he gloried
in it but he did not feel safe in rushing
back to Savannah, nor did he feel con
tent to stay away. A man in love mast
be allowed some latitude of foolisbnes*
and we ought to consider that each in
stance of love trouble ha* it* sentimental
peculiarities. Julian bad uttered the
simple truth when he wrote that he was
"unfit for business since returning." No
man conld have been more preoccupied
all the time, more restless, more inclined
to wave affairs aside and to give him
self over to his fancies
The letter he was waiting for was a
long while coining, and when it did
come it only gave emphasis to his diffi
culty
"Yonr letter.” Rosalie wrote, ‘has
been here for a good while. You will
forgive me for uot answering it sooner

"Rosalie Chkkikr.”
Julian read thia letter with a queer
mist in his eye* He conld not find much
comfort in its half girlish, half stilted
sentences, and yet he would not have
had a word ohangod for anything. He
imagined ne coma trace nosane a inno
cent frankness and freshness between
the line* He sat and gaxed into a big
biasing fire for hoars after be had learn
ed the letter by heart. Her elastic, grace
ful figure and warm bright face came up
befer* him; he saw her gray brown
eyes and straw gold hair; he beard her
low, sweet vote* Did she love him? He
read the letter again, pulled his mus
tache, frowned, smiled, read again,
gaxed into tbe fire almost fiercely, looked
at bis watch, went and packed his trav
eling bag and took the next train for the
sonth.
When he got to Savannah he went to
the Pulaski House. He did not care to
rush In unaware npon the household at
Roosevelt Place, especially since the
Cheniers had come then. He sent his
card to the house. An hour or two later
Mr* Roosevelt called for him In a car
riage. She was glad to see him. Rosalie
had gone to Jacksonville with Mr
Roosevelt, bnt wonld be liack tomorrow
He was introduced to Colonel Chenier
and Adelaide, and despite his predeter
minatiou to the contrary, was again in
stalled as one of the household. You
cannot live in a hotel in the south if your
southern friend has a house.
Colonel Chenier and Edgar Julian
were on good terms at once. A mutual
friendliness, a soldierly comradeship, a
shaking of bands on common ground
took place between them
Adelaide, while not avoiding him, was
dignified and shy, seeming to view him
askance, as if doubting whether she ought
to trust him, or as if trying to overcome
an impulse toward hating him. Julian,
on the contrary, felt a warm interest in
this dark, ead faced girl at once, and he
was not slow to show it Against his
kindly assaults reserve wasa poor shield
Wlthont seeming to be adroit or artful
he reached her womanly nature at every
unguarded point. He assumed the place
of a big. amiable, interesting brother
who meant to draw Ins sister out of her
gloom.
Mr Roosevelt and his niece were de
layed a week in Jacksonville—a very
long week of dreamy, drowsy weather
the flowers bursting out snd the mocking
birds singing in every orange grove and
dusky fig orchard.
Jniian prevailed on Adelaide to walk
with him in Forsyth park, and to drive
with him to the several charming sub
urban resorts. He fonnd her wiser in
the ways of the world than Rosalie—
quicker to catch hidden meanings in
things—a strong, self poised woman, in
fact. If she was not strictly beautiful
she was attractive, and gave him to see
that she iwssessed a reserve of culture a
little faltering on account of long disuse
One morning they sat together on one
of the pine Imnches near the fountain in
Forsyth park, and by somechauce Jniian
got npon the subject of his war experi
ence* and after the fashion of ex-sol-
diers told over many of his adventure*
He had a fascinating way of presenting
these personal reminiscences in the form
of sparkling sketches Adelaide recoiled
a little now and then, bnt his coloring
was so II tiers) to tbe south that she could
not be affronted. She began to grow
strangely need to him, if one may so ex
press it; his face, nis movements, his
personal effect, seemed to antedate, in
some way. her acquaintance with him
As be went over again his boyish freaks
in the army she saw him more as a buy
soldier than as a man. and he had a
curiously familiar look.
A few northern tourists were abroad
In the park, sauntering up and down the
shaded walks and dallying around the
Bower decked fountain. Some mocking
birds were singing ecstatically in the
treetop* overhead.
Suddenly, without any definite fore
warning. by one of those inexplicable
cerebral tricks, Adelaide recognized Jul
inn as that daring, devilish soldier lad
who stabbed her with a bayonet and
burned her father’s mansion
The knowledge came upon her as the
apparition of death or some numbing
calamity The blood went ont of her
face, and she grew weak, trembled,
drew her breath heavily, and clutched
the back of the bench for support.
Jniian instantly became aware of this
change He was startled.
"Yon are ill,” he exclaimed; “what is
It? 1 will call a carriage."
“No, no," she said faintly; "in a mo
ment it will be over. It is a mere faint
ness Do uot be alarmed. ’’
She struggled bravely and conquered
more than he dreamed of. Presently she
smiled and added:
"It has passed already, it was quite
sadden. Let as return, if yon please.'
"Bnt yon are not strong enough to
walk," be insisted.
"Oh, yes,” she said, rising and stand
ing firmly before him; “1 can walk as
well as ever. I am quite over it, 1 assure
yon."
They returned to Roosevelt Place,
Jniian lightly talking, and she answer
ing in monosyllables.
