This was years ago. Reginald Thurs

is no tribute to Helen's memory. He
thinks, and perhaps rightly, that his

answered Helen, with fiery blush.

to laugh it off, said something about sea
air and its effects, but the embarrassment
continued. Soon he walked away. Helen
was abjectly miserable.
How do I look? What did he mean?"
So her restless thoughts ran. Matters
were not mended by this little episode.
Next day Reginald avoided her, and she
sat cool and unconcerned to all outward
appearances. but wretched at heart.
1t is not easy, however, to avoid people
altogether in the close quarters of a
steamship. Every day these two met,
bowed, spoke, exchanged necessary civili-
ties, or sat near each other in mutual
silence. Once, when they happened to
be in dim and shaded corner of the
moon.lit deck, Helen began to sing. It
was the first conscious effort she had ever
made to attract the man size loved, and it
was punished as such efforts often are.
Her voice blended singularly with the
waves. and the low shudder of the sails.
"Come not when am dead
To shed thy foolish tears upon my grave,
Or vex the unquiet dust thou wouldst not save.
Never had she poured such passionate
meaning into the lines. Each note was
charged with disdainful woe, with ghostly
tears--if ghosts weep. Reginald could
not endure it. At the last, s'But thou

his chair, and vanishing without word.
Helen wept bitterly that night. ssNoth.

twenty-five years ago Nicholas Schilling,
the present keeper of the court house,
came to this couatry from Germany,
with his brother John, and his sister.
Their parents were poor, but respectable
and industrious people, but they left be-
hind grandmother possessed Of large
and rapidly increasing estate. The
Schillngs worked hard in the new world,
and struggled for time to live, finally
receiving profitable employment and the
comforts Of a respectable though toll.
some life.
A year ago last May, John Schilling
had remarkable dream, to the effect
that his wealthy grand mother had died
and left portion to him and his brother
and sister, out Of which they had been
defrauded by relatives in Germany, The
dream impressed him so strongly that he
could not shake it of, and as it was his
constant thought at day and his worry BY
night, he finally decided to go to Ger
many to settle the matter. He prudently
wrote to an official in his former place of
residence, and made inquiries coEcern-
ing his relatives The letter was handed
to one of Schillings uncles residing ip
tie place, and be replied in letter to
him, that bis grandmother was dead
The epistle was received on q Saturday.
Its intelligence confirmed his wild dream
to an extent, and on the following Mon
day morning, having made hurried pre-
parations, he sailed for the fatherland.
he pushed on at once for his old home,
and met one of bis pncles, who imme-
diately inquired II he had returned to
look for a legacy. Schilling, suspecting
sinister design, replied iu the negative,
remarking that he simply wished to visit
his old home, and that he had ample
means with which to return.
AT night he was shown to q chamber
in his uncles house, and, as he claims,
was drugged, and, while stupeGed and ir
responsible for his actions, was declared
lunGtic by properly appointed commits
| sion OF physicians, and was sent imme-
distaly to an iRsspe asylum Here he
remained for three months, end, after
strenuous efforts, proved thsthe was sane,
and was released He then came home,
fearing his uncles, aud remained here
until a couple OF weeks ago, Having
overcome his feGss, be decided to 60 To
Germany and make Secopd effort to
obtain his inheritance.
He believes that his uncles are in pos
session of the family legacies, and if it
is not ell dream he says that, Judging
from the estate Of his late grandmother,
snug amount has fallen 10 him and to
his brother and sister. Whether be pnr-
sues phantom or not, he carries with
him hopes Of better success on his
second journey.

There is no pathological fact more clearly

more frequently from weakness of the stom-

the pride aad glory Of the Middle
Ages.
Such was the naughty, presumptuous,
brilliant philosopher and poet, who at
thirty y-eight encountered the most intel
leciual aud beautiful woman Of her age,
only eighteen, thirsty for knowledge and
intensely idolatrous Of intellectual excel
lence.
And what young woman, with s1ch
sentiments and aspirations, could be in-
different to the attentions Of SUCH man
We need not repeat the familiar story Of
her weakness and his meanness; their
mutual infatuation; their abandonment
to mad passion, forgetful alike Of fame
and duty.
In healthy age this mutual passion
would have been followed by the mar
riage ties. But from marriage they both
shrank, since it would have involved the
loss Of caste, and destroyed his ambitious
aims. Celibacy, for priest, was deemed
Indispensable to his rising in the world.
Marriage would have consigned him to
ridicule, obscurity and ignominy. And
as he WAS slave of fashion-vsin. and
ambitious he contented himself with a
secret marriage.
But this was attended with difficulties.
1t leaked out. The envious detractors
Of Abelard rejoiced in his weakness and
her fall His pride took offense and he
denied the ties. So did she, with a
strange perversity Of love, for his repu-
tation was dearer to her than her own
honor. The old uncle was indignant,
and inflicted cruel punishment. Abe

to the wilderness. Thither followed the
enthusiastic youth of Europe, dazzled
by his eloquence and genius. Three

was here that his most brilliant days

The sailor threw off his long jacket,
for which the Count gave him ten
guineas, and, having put it on over his
irock coat, D'0rsay remounted just as
the rain ceased falling and spurred on
for London. The sun had burst from
behind the clouds, and it was the hour
for promensding in Hyde Park, when
