A cold, clear voice reused her in tn

Poor Eloise! Graded all her life il
an atmosphere OF love, the want of i
was like taking away necessary of
lie. at breakfast she met ONLY hel
aunt and cousins. Mr. Manly liked ear
y rising, and had breakfasted alone tive
hours ago. Eloise privately resolved t.
be his companion in the fusure. Blu
little conversation passed at the meal
and she was glad when it was over
Mrs. Manly, Julia ard Minnie, left hel
alone, making no offer to contribute il
any way towards making her new home
pleasant one. AS the servant entered
to remove the breakfast dishes, Eloise
asked for her uncle. He was out. She
could have erieed, she felt so desolate
III tins splendid home. Saddened, with
slow step, and full heart, she went in
to the parlor. A grand piano caught
ner eye, and having nothing else to do
she went towards it. She was a fine
musician, and no mean improvisatrice
and now she poured out her full heart
in music. She began with low, wall
ing strain, which her quivering fingers
gave softly, yet sweetly as the music
hlled her heart, GOODNESS and neglect
were forgotten, and bright genius

and the graceful figure was erect and
full OF dignity. Eloise had All invisible
audlance. Her uncle came in while she
was playing, accompanied by two gen
tlemen, Mr. Sherman, and the lion OF
Mrs. Manly's circle of gentlemen, Ora
ham Cleaveland the most talented,
wealthy, and fascinating of young men.
These glided silently in, and seated
themselves lii an inner room where FL
olse could not see them, but from whence
they could see her. There was no sound
IN the parlor, save that glorious music.
She ceased for moment, and then her
rich, clear voice joined in the melody.
Orphanhood, sorrow, GOODNESS, all were
forgotten IN the inspiration of the mo-
ment. Eloise was awakened rudely by
julia, who came in, saying,
'Please don't bang all the tune out
times"
Eloise felt as if she had suddenly fall
en- from Heaven to earth. She arose,
bowed silently, and went to her own
room. Julia also left the parlor.
Fred Sherman drew deep breath.

short visit to Paradise"
Graham Cleaveland said nothing: his
head was bowed upon the arm of the
sofa, and, as he raised it, his eyes were
tull OF tears. He arose, babe Mr.. Manly
good morning, and left the house. while
Fred went to seek for Julia and Minnie.
The old man sat, musing, thinking of
his favorite sister, the blue-eyed Mary.
and with the strains of music still ring
ing in his ear. Eloise, in her own cham
Der, was trying not to think hardly of
her cousin Julia. At dinner time, only
her uncle noticed her.
The weeks passed YEARLY, and Eloise
was happy only in the evenings. Then.
prevented by her mourning from Join
ing IN the gaieties of her cousins, she
spent hours with her uncle. A piano
had been added to the furniture Of his
pretty setting room, and that was al.
ways her own whenever she felt inclin
ed to use it: Mr.. Manly was fine Ger
man scholar, and he was teaching his
niece the language; his eyes were fee
bic and she was fine reader; SO, with
music, study, and literature, those even
ings flew by, and Eloise sighed not for
the gay world outside.
In vain Graham Cleveland called
again and again, in the hope of seeing
once more the fair musician who had
made his heart thrill almost painfully.
lie was always received in the parlor
by Mrs. Manly and her daughters, and
Juha'S heart throbbed with pride. as
she fancied her attractions were the
magnet which drew him there. Graham
had never been SO attentive before :
surely she was winning the prize at last.
While Eloise kept herself in retire
ment, she met only cold indifference
from her aunt and cousins. In vain she
tried by every winning art, to make
them love her. Her beauty was regard
ed with jealousy, her talents with envy
and dislike. When her year of rourn-
ing had expired, her uncle insisted up.
