And.fhe old clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely still, on the window sill,
The dewt-jed flowers rest,
While 'midst the leaves on the mass-grown"

The martin builds her nest.

And in their flight all shorn its might,

tleton, H-gaining his healthy lost by a
winter's dissipation, Jancl tuakinglove
to aud wiuniug a heart that was far too
4ire'and confiding for association with
such a man. -
It had been the same sweet, beguil
ing Mory told by the gray rock, the
aatuto worthless promisos, the sanid
heartbreak in' parting, that are sj famil
tur to all, and with many a sad expo
rieuce. ; -i .. .. ..... ..
For one year, innocent Kliae looked
lor his coming with faithful, trust iug,
waiting fjr a word from the absent on?.

' He would never ; retnrn to; her, but
she could go to him with the lingering
dew of the first love kiss freah upon her
lips.
Did aha regret the bright summer
that had come and gone, leaving only
an aching void?
No, no; lar from it.
Had Gerald Boutelle, with his irr
sistable lljnde beuuty, iietr crossed her
path the throne in her heart had bt en
urected for naught; the crown jewel,
studded with devotion and faith, left to
crumble away and form a ruined and
tenantle88 edifice.
The foamy waves crept higher and
higher, until they almost touched the
hem of her dainty mueliu dress, .whil
the spray dashed a shower ot sparkling
diamonds over the dark-Aaired maiden,
still looking out aul dreaming of the
future not an earthly future, but a
bright hereafter far up and beyond the
blue sky, that seemed to dip its azure
mantle iu the dancing waves.
A tiny while speck caught Eise's
eye, and she watched it mechanically as
it came nearer'to the shoie. ; -
Soon the low, mournful boom of
signal-gun announced -ship ia dis-
trew. : ' - " '
In an instant the foarful storm of the
night before occurred to her mind , and
she knew full well that his must be a
noble ship that had reoeived its death
warrant from the old storm-king nd
was aimlealv drifting with the tide.
t? iKa limn the second can had
Bounded its mournfull call th beach
was thronged with eager villagers, ready
to do and dare to save the lives on the
doomed ship,
The boats were soon launched, roan
ned and ready to Btart in fact, were
pushing off when Eiise sprang forward,
begging to go ith them.
There was no dangor, she argued, and
she might, possiuly be of some aasibt
ance. '.
Tbi siighest wish of little Snowbird,
as the villagers called her, was an un
questionable command to them, aud
she was permitted to go.
Ihey soon reached the ship, an J Elise
was lifted on "board, eager " t o do some
thiug to prove to all that thev could not
have gotten along without her.
Dowu-in the cabin all was confusion.
E.ich was anxiouu to be firt so leave
the siuking sLip, and, since help had
come, all wanted to take some prizi d
ug6agei and iu their eagerness thought
it possible.
I said "all" not so.
Away to the extreme end of be cabin
little group attfaoted E'iae Vaisseu-
tiou.
A beautiful Udy, whose fair baii
swept the floor, lay on a sofa, .while a
gentleman, clanping a wee toddling one
in his arms, knelt whh bowed head,
careless of all around. . "
Wb it instinct or true woman'y
svmpathy that caused Elise ta turn
from those self-reliant ones and offer
her assistance to the bowed form before
het?
As the little one, who could not fully
understand its father a trouble, cauht
sisht of liiue. it atretohad forth
it iliiupled bands, crying:
"Papa, lady turn an' help aiamma." .
At the words of the child the gentle
mau tuined and looked u p ,
-'Little Eliao! Snowbird I" he said,
It is thuf me meet again?"
Every pulff of her body stood still,
then burned and quivered with f over
heat. fche tried - to steady her voice but
failed.
'Gerald, who is it? and is it death?'
H would have given worlds, if - it
were possible, if he could have truth
fully aiikwered, 'She is my sister,' but
with 'hose honest, soul-searching eyes
looking into his Le could not deny th
mother of his child, 'She wis my wife,
Snowbird, and now our little one is
motherless.
Oh Gerald!'
Elbe 'said no more, but all the word
in the English language could not have
described her feelings better.
Reproach, surprise, almost belief, ar
rayed themselves in that one pitiful cry,
' She turned away her bead. J
She could not endure the sight of that
fair,cold beauty whon Gerald had called
wife, although she were cold in death.
What could it mean? ,
Had he been false?
A low moan of anguish told how bit
ter thought woyld be.
No, no it could not be!
Circumstances had forced him to mar
ry au other.
He could explain all, she knew.
The woman's staudard tailh came
to the rescue, and she put forth ber
hand, while her low sweet voice caused
Gerald to look again,
'Gerald, it is over. " May I help yon
uoiv
IJe did not need t$ inqnire what was
all over. - -
Too well be knew the strugglo that
had swept like au overwhelming flood
oyer that trembling soul, aud lelt uotb
iug tul pity y forsiveness.
He could not understand, it did not
seem possible that any woman conld
love a man so unselfishly that after he
had wrecked her life she cou'd under
the tryiug circumetauce oflSr her asis
tauce without a word of reproa-jb.
Yeg; Elise; you may help me. Take
my baby girl, and Heaven will bless
yon.'
But 7on must come, Gerald. There
is room for all in . the beat. We will
take the lady on shore and bury her
there.'
Elise could not say 'your wife ' yet;
the wound was too deep, the blow, had
been, too sure
She ' orders for the removal of
(he dead, with Gerald's baby clssped
close iu ber arms, like oue talking in
ber sleep. "
It was all like a troubled dream that
she must awake from soon. j
She never rightly remembered how
tbey reached the shore and what hap
pened af icr-how Gerald' wife was
laid to tost by the old , gray rock J Jbsry
said it bad been her wish: nothing
seetnod seal but Gerald at the old tryst
place by her side.
She had come out to (he rock lotirighi
tor the first time siuce st. had sat .and
listened to the signal gun of ' the siuk
ing ship.
. 'As she sat reviewing as best she could
the last four dajs, Gerald came and
stood by ber side, lookiug so . pale and
worn.
Elise, I have something to (ell you,
he said,' sittinK dow n by ber side, 'Are
you willing to listen?'
'Yes, Gerald, I am willing to listen,'
she said, repeating his words iu a low,
caressing tone: 'it is best that I should
know, how it all happens.' .
Snowbird', let me begiu . three years
ago, when I stood ou the old stone hold
ing your haud iu urine and sayiug the
word farewell. Ilea veil kuowc,' I iu
tended no harm wheu 1 told my love
and won your trusting heart. It was
like 'drifting with tho tide,' and
it would, have, been like 'pulling
against the stream to have fled from
your coy, sweet-presence wheu iu your
innocence and trust, you could uot hide
your love from me, I was but mortal,
and failed to do my duty. I left you
with a promise of speedy returu, when
you would be all the world (o me.
Aud bow uid i fulfill that promise? I
will tell you, Snowbird, although 1
hide my head in shame. I was eu
gaged to bo married when I wou your
love, but, Elise, I forgot it iu your love.
I returned borne aud fulfilled that en
gagement, trying to think that you
would prove as false as I. Even that
has been a consolation. My bride
loyed me Inly and teuderly, aud in due
lime, afler babv Maude came. I almost
thought (hat love was fully returned.
I filled ber life ; 1 made her ' happy at

We had beeu on the Continent yoar,
aud were returning: home up the Medi
terranean, when our ship was caught in
a tearful storm. In a sudden lurch of
the ship ray wife was hurled lrom my
side, and her Dead coming iu contact
with something,'! know not what, she
was iuilantly killed. I knew uor cared
for nothing more until ; I heard your
voice calling me back to life aud reality,
and felt your baud clasped In ' mine.
Snowbird, you have heard my. story.
Now I am going away. .Will you keep
uy baby Maude while I am away, ; and
will you try to forgive aud forget the
error ol tho past?' -''
A wild thrill of joy ran like Are
through her veins. '
lie was only asking what was the des
sire ol ber life to do, aud she reached
out her band blindly towards him. '
Yes, Gerald, I will lake little Maude,
and care for her until you come to claim
your own. I have already forgiven aud
1 will try to forget,'
Gerald pressed these small bauds
very close to bis, aud t hi ougb reverence
lor (he dead aud respect for the living,
he looked bis caress and (urnod away.
One year bad passed, freighted with
its ioy and woe.'
To Elise it had been very sweet.
Maude, with ber baby ways, bad
crept iu aud filled the aching void, that
Gerald's absence had made, and to
uigbt, the anniversary of bis departure,
she stands on the old gray root clasp
ing Maude's dimpled band in hers, wait
ing for what?
