All u Arbyght's sorrows-the past of
his dark, cheerless life seemed blOtted out
atuned for, by that first kiss OF love, which

holy bread Arbyghts eyes melte,., his
entire frame quivered, and his heart seem

soothingly, 'and have been unconscious

gazed at him with those mild, swimming
eyes, long and earnestly, but soon they
closed ard she dropped into a peaceful
slumber, and from that hour she gained
physical strength 80 rapidly that the doc

year, or perhaps more, and if by that
time Arbyght gave promise Of being able
20 give Vida home equal to her station in
life, there would be no obstacle in the way
Of their union, but he wanted no formal
betrothal in the mean time. Richard
must FIRST prove his capability Of making a
home, and after that all the assistance he
required would be furnished him. Arbyght

poets in Chicago we're bright and hsttering,
but still he feared Geldamo was only fight
ing against time However, he thanked
him kindly, and assured him he would en-

was doing him. To Vida, Mr.. GeldAmo
related his conversation with Richard mot
substantially as 1t occurred he added
much, to brighten the picture he told her
she could love the workman as much az she
| pleased, and after they returned to Chica-
", if he was found worthy Of her, they
would be speedily married Under these
circumstances both the lovers felt confident
and cheerful, and their partiH1 was less
severe than it otherwise would have been,
as they Lnew what was before them, and
they both determined TO do their duty
Richard to love and labor, Vida to love,

and the next ocean steamer carried Nida
and her father to the Old World.
