"Separate, Charlotte ?"
"Yes, Antoine. am resolved"
"Then you do not love me" he answered, re.
proachtully.
Il do love you, Antoine, with all my heart
said the beaatiful girl, brushing tear from her
| bright eye.
The student leaned across the table, kissed her
fair cheek, and bidding her good night was abou,
to leave.
care you going, Antoine ?"
Eyes"
"You will not grant my wish?"
"Charlotte. ca mot"
! "Then farewell" she said, turning from him
| with quick sigh.
The student returned to his quarters in col
ege, thinking but little of the words she had
used towards him, and supposng that she would
| forget the subject tomorrow, and all would be
pleasant again, as it had been many a time be-
fore But he was mistaken. When he return
ed on the following afternoon, to the apartment
where Charlotte had lived, she was gone, with
all her personal attire, and no trace was left of
her. He had not given her credit for the
strength Of mind and firmness that she really
possessed, for these qualities had never been
exercised towards him before, bat now he saw
that she lacked not for resolution.
In vain were all his efforts to discover with
er Charlotte had gone he had even lodged pri-
yate information at the Office of the project of
police, adding n reward as an inducement, but
the cunning officers could obtain no trace of
the missing girl. Antoine was at first inconso-
liable, but the gay tone of Partisan society soon
cured him, and alas for his manhood, he was
once more as whole hearted and as happy as ey-
er.
He graduated at last, and passing the chrysa-
lis state in the life of professional man the pc
riod between the casting off of his harness, and
the practice of such knowledge as he had been
taught to apply, he fell into such gay society,
coured for his naturally brilliant wit and ca
sy and graceful manners, and finally found him
self so much in debt by spendthrin course of
life, that he did no, dare call upon his father for
the means to cXtricate himself
Troubles of pecuniary character thickcncd
upon him; his father discharg ID debt after debt
until he utterly refused to pay any more for his
dissipated and reckless boy. AT last he was
seized and thrown into prison in vain were his
beseechings and promises to his father. He ut
terly refused to do aught for one who had proved
so unworthy of his lbcraliy. He had sighed
and fretted thus in confinement for weeks. when
one day his doors were thrown open and he was
informed that his debt was discharged, and he
was once more at liberty.
"Can this BE- my father" he thought. eyes,
no thinks am sufficiently punished, and so at
last releases me. Well, the world is wide and
time is before me-" and with this idea in his
brain, it was scarcely five months before Anto-
inc LouVal was again in prison. His father had
forbidden him his house long since, for reason of
his reckless conduct at the gaming table, aud
his total disregard of expenses. Again he lay
for more than two months in prison and aga,n
was he liberated, as he presumed, by his reIent-
ing father, to whom he had in desperation ad-
dressed many bcseeching notes lul! Of good
promises.
The second incarceration had taught him
wisdom; he was older BY some five or six years
than when he had graduated; he became
thoughtful, recollecting his long forgotten pro-
fesson, recalled his studies and books, and Sc
riously set about to retrive character that had
already suffered in the worlds eye.
He opened suite Of rooms, devoted his spare
time to the hospital, and gradually became an
adept in his profession, and day by day business
poured in upon him until he commanded prac-
tce fully equal to his time and wishes to per-
form. In the meantime the father of Antoine
Louva had died, and having much approved the
decided change he saw in his sons career, he
had willed him his entire fortune.
Antoine was sitting by his tiresde in an elo-
giant mansion in one Of the most fashionable and
aFistOCra.lC sections in Paris
His feet rese over the fireplace with that
true carelessness and abandon that bespeak the
bachelor. 1t was his birth night-that day he
thIrty-tour years of age-lust fifteen years older
than when he was first introduced to the reader.
1t was thoughtful occasion to him, and he
seemed more than usually moody now. What
more could he desire ? lie was rich, hoqored
courted, and ranked as one otthe most skilful OF
his difficult profession.
At that moment summons came to him that
lady in q neghboring quarter of the city was
in imminent peril Of her life from a sudden at
tack OF illness, and that his presence was imme-
diately desired. Rising with professional quiet
ude, he placed his usual packet Of instruments
and medicines in his pocket, and stepping into
his carriage drove to the point designated. Here
he was shown into genteel apartment, and af-
ter divesting himself of his outer garments was
led by Young man into an inner room, where
lay female in that burning fever that rarely
fails to produce derium-the early Stages 0:
typhoid.
"Who is the lady ?" asked the surgeon.
"My mother, sir"
alas she been long sick 2"
"Ouly since morning-but as she seemed to
wander in her mind this evening, and has said if
she should ever be seriously i'll to send for you
as her medical adviser concluded to do so.
The surgeon examined the features before
him infinitely. Strange recolIections came over
him. He drew his lancet, carefully bIed the
patient sat by her four hours and watched the
operation Of his medicines, came early and late
FOR many days, and finally saw the return OF rea-
son to the patient, and soon the rose OF health
once more stole over her cheeks
"And now, thin you 2" asked the surgeon Of
his patient one day, "that know you not ?"
Il supposed you had forgotten Charlotte !"
"Neyer :" said the cnraptured man, for the
first time giving vent to his feelings. I'VE
parted because you were too considcrate longer
to live with me- and not bear my name. VIII
you share it now, still dearest one ?"
a tear only answered him and pressing his
dearly loved and long lost Charlotte ia his arms,
he was again happy.
"Tell me, dearest, knew you Of my being re-
leased from prison at two different times"
81 do"
at was you, then, who liberated me-"
"Yes," she replied, with downcasi eyes.
"Heroic girl How found you the means ?"
by embroidery, an ait which you first caused
me to learn"
"Ah, Charlotte, how could you remain so long
unknown to me ?"
Il saw your prosperity. feared that the
poor tambourine girl would be hindrance to
your rising career"
NAY, dearest you were ever with me-have
