Sara is standing quite alone now. IN the
clear, perfect moonlight. Around her
CLEAN the sL@dovy lawns, broken Will

eyes are fixed nteutly upon tina, fgasae.
Of opposite road which its Skin
strawberries allow her 10 see. She is ..-.
enine-listeuins with strained 'nHioas
ear, and with every nerve on the gu
rirs of expectancy.
Presently there is the distinct sound.
at what seems a considerable distance.
Of rapid. advancing feet sara's eyes
fairly dilate. and her head stretches it
self forward in the wild rasenyss Of her
feelings.
The steps come nearer. nearrr-heavy.
decisive thuds Of vigorous feet against
hard, uuyleIding gravel.
And now, without q moments warning.
the steps cease. Then ri' mans
wild. fierce cry; af,ert.a., VIA, seems q
second Of silence; audt L.a ,.' dreadful
cracking. urmis,akallr sound Of pistol.
Just fora brief space Sara stands as
though frozen into stone. Then she
PUSHES dow2 the road. TURNS the corner
made-so TO speak-by the great shrub
berry clusters, and darts on, on, with
Heetest speed. A long, quiyering, ter
rifed moan leaves her lips, as she
pauses ct last by a dark, outstretched
form.
~Walter-walter Crosbiel for Gods
sake what has Lappened%
No answer.
And then she sees the ghastly
upturned face. and the long, CORY stream
that oozes from its temples
Not two yards distant there is an
other prone form. Sara staggers to-
ward it.
Ralph Curtis's swarthy face CLEANS
Tyid and CHASTITY, in the pale moon

He stabbed me as | was passing him.

These are the last words he ever
speaks. Aud so the race has been run;
and So Death has won it.

Sara, his black-eye, oliye-brown eounte-
nance fully visible TO them both. Under
his dark moustaehe there plays bitter,
cynical smile.
Sara utters little scream of dis
may.
"How unexpected" she falters; and
then there is silence among the trio,
which lasts until Walter Crosbie harshly
! breaks it.
"Very unexpected" he exclaims; "and'
yet, after all, scarcely inopportune. |,
for one, am glad that it has occurred.
1t gives me, at least, the opportunity of
asking you. in Mr.. Curtis presence,
Miss Sara, how much longer you desire
that this absurd masquerade shall con-
tinue. With whom-to make sSt Of

laughs low. discordant laugh)-"do you

promptly;

Whereupcn poor, weak Sara bursts into
tears.

This time it is a silence that Ralph

"That is no answer, Miss Sara"
"Right," states Walter Crosbie. with
stern emphasis. at is no answer

"Please go-both of you"
Suddenly fierce fash shoots from the

addressing Walter. "lf Miss Prescott

Ralph draws near 10 him.

speaking to sara; and then there follows
between the two men an inaudible wills

The conference continues nearly five
minutes; and at last Ralph Curtis turns
toward Sara.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.
Alexandria,


The tide throws up its circling food
Against the rotting piers
That loEg untrod by men have stood
The footsteps of the years.
The shiny moss hangs down between
The slanting beams. and sways
Like dull pendulum of green
Counting The sluggish days.
The water snake coils up below.
And drags its slippery length
From out the yellow waters H9wi
The rat gnsws in his strength.
And, in and out, the upright beams
The beetles run and wets
Of spiders, moist with silvery CLEANS.
Stretch, tangled. round like threads
10 sound ia heard; the grass grows high;
The ships moor far s-tide;
And ghosts do seem to walk a,nigh
The quays so old and vida.
o day of pride, o day of power
When vessels anchored lay,
And wharves, bedecked with p1incely dover,
Loomed up in strong array;
When fruitful West sued at thy doors,
And East held out its hands,
And thou, gray piers, On thy green shores
We're gates to many lands!
Beyond, the ancient town creeps on
TO foot Of treeleas hill
And pigeons brood in Southern sun
On the gabled roofs at will.
Oer cobblel streets the wheels roll slow,
With grasses crushed between
And moss-grown trees DER panes hang low,
And caves to branches lean.
Otown of old, with chsngeless life,
With graves and memories dear,
Thy ways ale writ with wrongs Of strive,
But ne CT with line Of fearl
Though leaves drop on dismsntled way,
Though quaint old houses fall,
Still is brave struggle of thy day
Carved on each massive wall;
Thou'st nurtured men in cradle grim
Great in the proud worlds heart;
And thy lone wave chants century's hymn
To dead that lie apart.
Away with sheer that waits for thee,
Ogray old town and brsVel
I love each stone, that text for me.
Speaks by Potomac's wave.
Thy sons live on; the tapping tide
Sings their song, as it sang
A r@)n far Ger ocean wide
When cry of free dom rang.
Though owl should ecresm in high church
Ana snake coil in the street, tower
Thy years shall tell of glory hour,
Thy past our pride entreat.
Ebb from the piers, o yellow tide,
Make music sweet ard low;
T seem to hear, as sanctifed,
the song Of long ago..
