'Awfully pretty,' was the verdict ren

Ah, it lito were all summer, such women
would make pertict wives.'
Au audible sigh followed the latter
thought of this most grave philosopher;
a siglt so deep, so profound, that it
started the girl lro.n her reverie.
'A penny for your thoughts major,'
she said, in a low, musical lotto,
The voice suited her; it was like all
else abo-at Fay Ricbings—in perfect at
tune. ' ~r ... • .
'You bid 100 low.' answered the man,
'and yet too high, since you ask upon a

could not wander fur.'
'But you sigh. Must I hold myself
responsible tor the sigh, too?'

that withiu a month 1 must join iu/ regi*

litis man whose brave deeds had pre
ceded him, uutil, before m eeting, hail
assigned him something akiu to hero
worship. f
A little, 6harp slab of pain shot
through her, but she smiled bravely.
'All that was scaraely worth a sigh
from you,' she said. 'lt is ever those
wiw are left behind, ainid the old famil
ial' surroundings, and say, 'Yosterday he
sat here,' or 'Yesterday we heard his
laugh or perchance find a glove that he
has dropped, or a cigar half smoked—
to them it is something felt, something
tangible.'
.'Do you think so? Does the sand sigh
for the retreating wave when already
one earning claims its welcome ? I should
indeed be glad to -feel that Miss Fay
ssmelitaes gave me a thought among
the many new aspirauls for the honor
she has sometimes bestowed oa me. A
soldier's life has many charms, spite ol
ita hardships, aud there is some latcin
atiou, sptte of its pain, in the lone soN
itary musings he holds sitting at the
door of IMS tent, when, instead of the
plain stretching before him, he Tiews
the mental panorama of bis past. I'm
afraid miuo will confine itself to one fig"
ure. Can you guess whose, Miss Fay ?' j
There was an instant'* paase—an ini
slant when something stirred within
l£oj don Howard's heart, prompting the
impulse to cry out:
'Who bat yours? Make imagination
reality I Come with me! Share s soldier'*
lite, aud let ottr mutual love smooth tb*
rough places.'

hut in momenta of peril, When death,
no long tr clothed in
stulked before litem, bare and ungainly)
it wa6 little wonder that they fled shriek
ing firm his grim presence.
Thciclore the pause lasted an instau'
only, then Roydou answered his own
question with a laugh:
1 declare, I am nlmost growing sen
timental. It'in anybody's presenco bul
yours, Miss Fay. 1 should for
so unwonted a mood. BnF you arc
wholly responsible for it > and it mu*t
bo with you so old a story to inspire it
that 1 will not words. By the
way, there is my korse. 1 had no idea
it was so late, Aa revoii". Remember
I have the' first and last waltzes this
evening.'
Thejtfrl slooJ motionless, walching
him as he strode away—watching him
vault upon his horse, Ids tall, superb
showing to such splendid adynti
tagC) watching horse and rider as they
cantered out of sight, the latter turning
first lo give her a farewell saluto with
his whip,
■So, iu scarce a month, will lie ride
out of my life.' she m urmured to but
self wi'.h white hps, 'Ob, Roydon, is il
that yon are too proud to ask me to
share the peril and privations of a sol
dier's life, or that it would give you no
plcasuie to hnvo me share it?'
•••* * * * #— • *
'Will you go out on the lake with ine
this afternoon, Miss Fay ?' asked Major
Howard a .Wv*ek later. 'lt looks a little
squally, but we will keep close into
shore* so as to ruu home it the clouds
thicken.'
!Ot course I will,' assented Fay, 'aud
as to tiie clouds, don't watch them too
closely. I rather like storms.'
•Wbal a perfect makes!'
thought Iloydon, as he promptly) aj tho'
appointed time assisted her into tbo sail
boat lie had named iu her hoiior, the
yachting dress of dark blue filling close
ly to the exquisitely outlined figure and
ou the golden braid? nestled a coquett
ish sailor hat.
Fifteen minute* latet' a splendid
breeze had carried tl»em far out luto tbe
lake..
'The sform has concluded to postpone
itself In our apecial favor,' said Roy*-
doni glancing up at tbe blue sky, or
pel'baps they don't think soldiers should
be too severely tried as sailor** Which
Is it Miss Fay?'
'Do you appeal to me as the spirit Of
tho storm cloud) 1 if so, I shall call 011 it
to avenge me.'
'Lie answered it 6imply by a look, but
it caused her eyes to droop.
She stretched the little while hand
down lo the water's edge, watching the
current resist it as tbo boat sped on
ward.
'So,' be mused, 'aid t resisting tbe
voice of my heart—so must I rcsis' to
the end.'
Tbey spoke but little. They were
alone and together—around them water,
1 above them Ibe sky, beneath them a
grave. And both were yormgj aud in
each heart the same voico was speakiug,
yet tbeir lips were sealed.
Thus an honr passed, when suddenly
Roydon tacked.
'What are you doing?' cried Fay, in
a lone ot disappointment, 'Surely.we're
not going home?'
'I wish we wefe already there,' an*
s wered her companion with a blauchod
cheek, just as a little breath ot wlud,
fresher than any tbey bad felt, blew
upon ibotn. 'Don't be frightened, Miss
Fay,' continued Hoyden, assurlngly;
'lt's oue of these treacherous Squalls.
We're lit for it, but I'll do the best 1
can.' •
I 'Can't I help you?'
Tbe man glanced up aulazod. She
neither cried nor groaned. There wa«
no tremor in lier toner Bis cheek Was
whiter than her*.
•Pshaw 1 she did not realize (he dan
ger,' be said mentally. 'Can you hold
Ibis (' handhig her a rope as be spoke.
The next moment the squall struck
them. The little yacht hty lull Ou its
side aud then righted itself.
Fay's lips Were a little pale now, bdt
no souud escaped them, only she bad
held so tightly to the rope, spite of lis
1 resistance that it already cot iuto the
tender flesh.
Tbe storm was now folly upon them.
It iras fierce aa it was Sudden. Tbey
were drenched with Water. They ooold
no longer see each other (or the spray.
'Fay,'cried Roydon, are'you fright
en 3d ?'
'With yott?' she answered. 'No/ and
her tono Was tinner than Ins own.
The next moment the boat, struck by 1
a sharper blast than tiisi. .went over.
IJ«>!!i found thuinsclvcs, cliuging lo its 1
sides,
'Fay, toll inc.'lie said, Mhat yon fors
give me for this. Oh, child, nuUi wo
die when lite holds so much sweet-
Iness?'
'The storin won't last long. We thay
yet be saved,' she answered, iu her
sweet young voice, ' lint, Ijoydon, if 1
slip don't try lo save me. It will only
low two, and mine 1> not Worth as much
as yours'
•My God! without you, what WouM
mine be?'
The words escaped him ere he realized
their meaning.
'Live it, then, ior my sake, dear,'
Fay, replied, 'and always,
had I my choicov I would have chosen
to have died thus With yott than to have
lived 011 without you. My love, good
bye.'
The next instant Ihe waters had 1
caught het* torn and bleeding hands, all
cut by the rope, from slight hold;
but Major rloward had spoken words
with no idle meaning when he hadaoked
her what his life would bo worth with*,
out her.
Quick as th«* current, in its hungry
greed feir its boautilul prey, he threw
about her hi 9 protecting arm.
Then, As thoitgh heaven smiled, the
wiuds ceased as suddenly as they had
risen, and the sun burst forth from its
hiding place, showing the rescue which
was bearing down it pon them. 'May 1
see youj it but for'flyo minutes?' were
thjo wot'ds scrawled 011 the e&rd Kay
held a few hOnrs later, iu he)- bandaged
hands, as she lay upon her conch, very
pale aud exhausted, but with a heart
full of gratitude for her wonderful es»
aape, awaiting him who had peoue'd tbe
words.
llow well she knew the quick, im
patient step w::i' h hcrjilded his corn*
r h'g.-.
Her cheeks flushed as he strode hnpet*
uodsly into the room.
'I oould not sleep before sceiug you,*
he said. 'My brave gill I how little I
knew you! I thought, because you were
beautiful there could be uo courage in
youf soul; that because your hands
were small aud soft aud while, they
! could bavo no strength. Dear litllo
hands,' taking them tenderly in his own.
, 'They helped lo save our Uvos to day.
Fay, will you givo them to me, darling?
. Will you be u soldier's wife, and teach
I him, my own sweet love, some of the
, bravery that only stlcb Women as you
can teach to men?'
A great light shone ill tbe bdautiful
' eyes upraised to his,
'I owe you my life,' she Whispered
•If a debt ao rich will receive paymout
so poor, tako it Boydou; it is ydtfra.'
An Edltor'a Dream.
An editor sat iu his effiue chair; his
boots Were patched and his coat was
threadbare; while his face looked weaiy
aud worn with care. While sadly think
ing of business debt, old Morpheus
alowly round him crept, And before he
knew it he sotiuOly slept, aud, sleeping,
he dreamed that he was dead, from trous
Die and toil his spirit had fled and that I
dot eten a Cow-bell tolled for Ibe peace- j
ful rest of bis cow bide sole. As lie
wandered among the shades, aud smoke
and scorch ot lower Hades, he shortly
observed an iton door that ci*eakiugly
swung on hinges ajar, but tbe entrance
was crossed by a red hot bar, aud Satan
hiraselt stood peeping out aud watching
tor travelers thereabouts, aud thus to the
passiug editor spoke aud witb growling
Voice tbe echos woke: Come inj my
dear, It shall cost you nothing, and steyer
fear: this is the place where I cook the
ones that never pay their subscription
sums, for though iu llle they may escape,
they will find; when dead, it is too late;
I will show you tbe place where I melt
them tbin with red-hot cbaius and scraps
ot tin, and also where I comb their beads
with brokeu glass aud melted lead; aud
if oi refreshmedts they odly think there's
boiling water for them to drink; there's
the red-hot grind stone to griud down
his uose, aud red-hot rings to wear oil
bis toes,- and it tbey mention tbey don't
like fire, I'll saw up their mouths With,
red-hot wire; aud then, dear sir, you
should see tbeid squirm while I roil them
over aud cook to a turn, At tho last
words tbe oditor awoke and thought il
all a practical joke; but still at times, so
real did it seem,- that be cannot believe It
was all a dream/ and often he thiuks,
with a chtickle aud grin, of the fate of
those who save tbeir tiu aud never pay
the printer.
