The Events of a Misty Night.
One raw misty morning a hand
some, middle aged man was accost'
ed by a woman as he stepped from
the door of the pharmacy of Som
ers & Co., in New York.
"Sir, is not your name Gerald
Blakei" she said.
ut is, madam" he answered,
looking into her face, which was
quite fair, but pale. "Whom have
| the honor of addressingw
"My name is Greathouse-Mrs'
Vyrilla Greathouse, and this little
one here is my daughter"
Then the man perceived a little
girl standing at the woman's side.
and STOPPING, he took her hand and
passed her few kind words. The
mist which was falling all over the
city did not touch the trio, who
stood under the awning that hung
above the pharmacy's portals, and
in the light of the brilliant gas jets
in the display windows.
"Mr. Blake" said the woman,
after lengthy pause, "you have
befriended my husband, who is
now dead. 1 have often heard him
speak of you in great kindness"
"Indeed, madam, / do not re-
collect him." Gerald Blake hasten
ed to say. "But, perhaps"
"Then will tell you about him.
But remain here with Cyrissa mo-
ment, while ! make a small pur-
chase in the pharmacy"
As the woman finished, che re-
leased her child's hand, which
Gerald Blake took, and moment
later ne was ccnversing with the
little one, who appeared to be about
four years old.
He saw Mrs. Greathouse enter
the pharmacy, which stood on one
of the corners Of a noted square
and, pleased with the little girl,
who was apt in answering bis ques-
tons, he did not notice the mo-
ments that fitted away.
It was the striking Of q clock
that told him of the flight Of time.
Then he turned, but could not
see the woman.
"why, where Is your mother,
Cyrissa r. he said to the little girl,
as he led her into the pharmacy.
In a sweet, childish voice Cyrissa
told him that che did not know
and Gerald Blake was surprised to
learn that the woman had departed
through a door that opened into q
street other than the one on which
he had awaited her return.
cit was a plot" he muttered be-
tween his teeth-"a plot to force
the child upon my hands. BY the
Heavens. I've q mind to throw
her ont In the mist, and then lei
her shift for herself"
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1876-12-13

But q look into the soft blue eye:
upturned to him drove such inten.
tions from his heart, and he said
gently to Cyrissa:
"Little girl. do you know tina,
your mother has ran OFF,
IL do not know, sir. But NAM
ma will be back by-and-by. She
likes Cyrissa."
"Then she ought to exhibit her
love in q more maternal manner
than this" said Blake, somewhat
barshly. "Cyrissa, we will wait a
little longer for her. Perhaps she
has not ran of, after ALL"
Then he led the little child to a
chair, and sat down with her.
He felt confident that Cyrissa
had been deserted by the woman
calling herself her mother, and did
not believe that she would return.
He was a rich man, and lived in n
mansion on one of the beautiful
uptown avenues. But one year
prior to the opening of our strange
story, he had married beautiful!
girl, as wealthy as himself, and be-
lieved that no home was so bright
and full of happiness as his own.
He knew that his young wife's love
was centered upon himself, but
wondered what she would say when
he took Cyrissa home with him and
told the story of her desertion.-
Though the name Of Greathouse
possessed a. familiar sound, he was
not aware that he had ever espe-
cially befriended man who poss-
essed it. While he waited beside
Cyrissa, he ran back ten years in
his business life, and thought Of
more than one hundred praise
worthy acts which adorned it; but
he could recall one done to Great
house.
There was some mystery here,
and he smiled at the child, who
had fallen asleep with her golden
curls touching his arm.
"She will not come," he mur-
mured at length. "Belle will won
der what keeps me down town so
late. l will go home"
Then he gently took Cyrissa up
and carried her from the pharmacy
TO the sidewalk, where he hailed
carriage and bsde the driver take
him home.
Twenty minutes later Gerald
Blake. entered his own home with
his burden, still fast asleep, and
his young wife.
"wby, Gerald, what does this
mean I" she cried, starting back
when she saw Cyrissa in his arms.
He smiled, but did not speak
until he had deposited the little
one on the rich crimson sofa that
adorned the parlor.
"Look at her, Belle," he said,
admiringly. "Isn't she prettyr
"Pretty as an angel. But where
did you get her, Geraldr
Then he related to his wife cer-
tain events already known to the
reader, and she listened without
interruptipg him.
"This is all very strange" she
said. "Gerald, the little thing
shan't be thurst from our doors.
So long as that woman demands
her not, our roof shall shelter her,
and we will make her a noble wo-
man."
Gerald Blake's lips quivered, and
his eyes were moist when he kissed
bis whole-souled wife, and then
looked at Cyiissa.
"she Is ours forever, I bope,' he

CHAPTER III.

One montn after Amos FrOSt's
rejection, Gerald Blake's valuable
store was consumed by fire, and he
lost heavily in goods and money.
Quickly upon the heels of this dis
aster followed another calamity. A
certain bank which held much Of
the merchants wealth, failed be-
vond recovery, and tie blow fell
heavily upon the almost cuushed
man.
The curse seemed TO be at work,
and Cyrissa said it was an evil day
that saw Amos Frost cross the
Blake threshold. But the end OF
misfortune was not yet. Gerald
Blake and family we're obliged to
desert their fine uptown mansion,
and take less pretentious house
further down town.
To the new home came George
Vankyn, the handsome man whom
we left in the Boston hotel. The
change did not affect his attentions
to Cyrissa, md by the wealth that
he claimed to possess, Gerald Blake
hoped to secure q fresh start in
business. He fattered himself that
his house had got rid Of the man
with the Loryllan blood, for Amos
Frost had left the city, and It was
rumoured that he had died in Fer.
nandia.
At any rate, Gerald Blake had
ceased to think Of him, and Cy-
rissa saw his handsome face and
form in visions Of the night, when
deep sleep was on her eyes. But
she thought Of him only as a per-
son who had brought misery to her
young heart, and bowed with poig-
nant sorrow the hearts of those
she loved. 1t is true that George
Vankyn had crossed the Blake
threshold before Amos Frost's re-
lection, but no significance was at
tached to this event. and Cyrissa
listened to him, and permitted him
to talk of love when they were
alone together. George Vankyn's
wooing extended through the win
ter, and when the flowers opened
in May, his approaching marriage
was given to the gossipmongers Of
the city. Cyrissa growing more
womanly, grew lower each succeed
ing day, and her lovers affection
was praised by many who knew
the twain when the soon-to-be bride
lived in luxury mp town.
1t was a beautiful night that be-
held Cyrissa clad in white robes,
and with wreath Of spotless
orange blossoms on her head
Gerald Blake had saved q good
deal from the wreck Of his fortune,
and was content to spend much Of
it on his child's marriage. That
night, as he looked upon Cyrisss,
radiant with beauty, he thought Of
the April mist that brought him
her; he recalled the events Of that
night-tbe receipt Of the strange
letter, his long waiting for the
mother, and his wife's resolve to
keep Cyrissa from the man with
the Loryllan blood. But, alas! she
had not kept the resolve he had
entered their home, and the curse
that accompanied him had fallen
with terrible vengeance.
The hour was waxing late, and
all were waiting for George Vsn-
kyn, whose quarters we're in agrand
hotel. Why did he tarry from tho
altar, was the question that rang
from lip to lip.
The bride elect grew pole, and
wondered why he terried.
At last the rrmbls OF carr'are
wheels was beard. and ,As cry Of
"He comes" went roand ths reon.
The sounds grew still beyond
the door, and a moment later Geo.

SAID. "Bellle, we Will love nel
with all our hearts. I will ring foi
Flora, who will put her to bed"
He was stepping across the room
to the bell-rope, when the knocker
rang, and both husband and wife
started.
"Whatl a caller at this hour r
exclaimed Gerald. "Can It be Cy-
rissa's mother
He answered the knocker in per-
son, and found q street gamin on
the step. The boy held letter in
his unwsshed hand.
"Here's letter for you," the
ragamnffin said, polSing forward
the document. "Please, sir, gin
me a quarter for delivering it,"
Gerald took the letter, and
caught the urchin's hand as he
slipped the coin into it.
"Who gave you this letteri" he
demanded.
"A-a man, sir" was the hesi-
tating reply.
"You were told to say this" said
Gerald. "a woman gave you this"
Come, tell the truth, or I'll turn
you over to Jordan, on the corner
yonder."
The boy glanced at the giant
form Of the policeman, and looked
up into Gerald's face.
an tell it, sure. A woman
dressed in black told me to give IL
to you. She picked me up on the
corner here. She was tall wo-
man but / couldn't see her face,
for she wore q veil"
"Right, my boy" Gerald said;
and the gsmin, released, sprang
from the step and bounded away.
"Well, here's letter from Cy-
rissa's mother" Gerald said to his
wife, as he re-entered the parlor
and she watched him as he broke
the seal.
"Read 1t aloud, Gerald, for I am
anxious to hear what she says"
said Mrs. Blake. "She cannot
want Cyrissa, else she would have
come in person"
The young merchant glanced
over the brief communication, and
hen read aloud as follows;
Mr.. GERALD BLAKE:-I leave
,ou the only legacy | can bequeath

'oof. The blood in her veins
would made her a queen. Guard .

O be an actor therein. Tell her

anne you will learn from him.
Watch him; hate him; for &C.
ursed will be the day that the

cate her to forget
HER MOTHER.
For a moment after the reading
I the letter, silence reigned in the
arlor. Gerald Blake, having lift
d his eyes from the sheet, was
,oking into his wife's face, which
ad grown quite pale. He was the
rst to speak.
"Are you still for keeping her,
,elle I" he asked.
"Yes-s thousand times yes"
ried the young wife. "From this
our she is ours; and he, whoever
e be, shall not touch her when he
omes."
Thus the child Of mystery found
new home-a home to which she
vas destined to bring thrilling
vents.
