No sooner had George recovered from
the shock Of this news than he resolved
to start Immediately for New York but,
unfortunately, no steamer was to sail
either from Hayre or Liverpool for two
days.
She was dying he loved her to dis
traction thousands of miles were be-
tween them he might, perhaps, arrive
too late-only the imagination can meas
ure and the heart feel his agony during
those two days, and the subsequent time
OF the voyage-words cannot express it.
He arrived at last. He had his hand on
the hasp Of the gate of that garden in
which he had passed the happiest hours
OF his life; but would he find her alive
His heart seemed ready to burst, and his
hand felt as though paralyzed. But for
James, the waiter, who, having seen him,
came to meet him, perhaps he might not
have entered the garden for hours.
Oh, Mr.. Ward, said James, and his
tone betrayed the sorrow that had come
over the house.
"HeLen?" murmured George, family.

However little encouraging in itself,
the thought that she was still alive gave
him new life. But his joy was doomed
to short duration the most heart-rend-
ing sight awaited him in Helen's room.

Mrs. Gwynne was kneeling on one
side of the bed, sobbing, and hiding
her face in the bed-clothes; DR.. Sharp
was standing on the other, motionless,
with his head bent down as if yielding
to the inevitable. Georges cry made
Mrs. Gwynne raise her head "Ah (!
George" she exclaimed, on recognizing
him, "you are our last hope"
The young man fell on his knees; for
q long time he could not speak; he could
only watch the dying girl, and hide in
his heart the agony which almost over
powered him.

eyes and turned them family around, as

she cried, upon seeing the young man.

he was not mistaken. At the end of two
months, during which George never left
her, she had so improved as to be able
to go down into the garden without other
support than her lovers arm.
One afternoon, while they were
seated under The arbor, as in former
times, Helen sweetly said: "Do you
remember when fused to call you Raj phi?
I thought, then, I could love but his
image. Your absence has proved to me
how mistaken I was.
"Why, then, Helen, did you not an

aunt to write?''
"Why, George, I had pledged my
faith to my cousin that [ would love no
one else. Was it not my duty to strug-

Some days later George called on Mr..

"Oh, is it you, George? Very glad
to see you. What brings you back
again? Another legacy?"
Something better, Mr.. Shannon; a
wedding. "-NeeO York american.

CHAPTER ".

A note from his lawyer came next day
to strengthen Georges resolution. His
affairs were settled, and he could now
call for his money. Having dispatched
his business, in the afternoon he stopped
at Helen's house, and sought an inter-
view with Mrs. Gwynne. To her he
gravely communicated his intentions.
The poor old soul did all she could to
move him from his determination.
Listen, MRS. Gwynne, said George /;
"it has been impossible for me- to make
love to Helen and not to fall madly in
love with her at the same time. To
love her as do, and to see that, of all
the affection she manifests toward me,
nothing is properly my own-Oh! I
cannot endure such martyrdom any
longer. Mrs. Gwynne, I cannot, with
out running the risk of losing my own
reason. To hope that her feeling may
change, and that she may sometime love
me for what am, and not because I re-
semble her Ralph, is foolishness. It is
best for us to part. Though to give
her up is almost death to me, I mast
go!"
In the meantime, Helen, with the
watchfulness peculiar to persons in her
state, had noticed the coming of George,
and had overheard his conversation with
her aunt. AS the young man uttered his
last words she opened the door, and
stepped slowly into the parlor. She was
pale as corpse. A long pause, full of
anxiety to all, followed Helen first broke
the silence with these words: "You
say'you are going to leave us? You,
too? And you are not Ralph ? Who
are you, then %
George dared not answer.
"Who are you ?" the poor girl re-
peated wistfully.
C. am George Ward" said the young
man, resolutely, in hope Of favorable
crisis.
George Ward !'' she repeated
mechanically, and paused. sob !

so sweet to dream He is not my

the sofa, she buried her face in her
hands.

last, rising and stretching out her hand
to him.
Farewell !" he answered, in % choked
voice, Selling her hand and pressing it
to his lips.
ooh F! it is cruel p said Helen, burst
ing into tears, and throwing herself into
her aunt's arms.
'Ah! what have you done, George p
uttered the old lady, despondently.
Helen, Helen, he answered, franti-
cally, "say one word; say you love me,
and shall remain with you forever"
''And Ralph? What would Ralph
think of me ?" replied the broken-hearted
girl.
"Ralph is dead, Helen, and George, I
think, loves you more than Ralph ever
did, he murmured.
Farewell p Helen replied, sadly.
There was so much solemnity in the
tone in which that word was pronounced
that George saw that all appeal to her
feelings would be useless, and went away
without another word

after some moments, still leaning her
head on her aunt's shoulder.

grew calm.

CHAPTER V. =

Some months had elapsed since George
had parted from Helen. His love had
lost something Of its violence, but moth
ing of its strength and depth. Though
continually seeking for pleasure, all the
amusements of Paris afforded him but
little. What annoyed him most was the
obstinate silence Of the girl and her
aunt, Notwithstanding all the letters he
had written to them.
One morning, on entering his room, he
found on his table letter with the New
York post-mark. He eagerly opened it.
:. [ am very sick" it read, "and l be-
lieye I am going to die. Ralph or

CHAPTER III.
Faithful to his engagement, George
went to the Park, and from there, with
Helen and her aunt, to their house. She
appeared to him more charming than
ever. She made chocolate for him, and
played and sang in a manner that be-
witched him, and he could not forbear
expressing his delight and admiration in
the most fattering terms.
"Do you love me 500" exclaimed
Helen, joyfully. "Well, then, [ shall
be always thus to you. How many
times, added she, signing, after short
pause, "have I thought and dreamed of
you, Ralph, during your absence Z"
Then, suddenly passing from sadness to
merriment, she rejoined "Why, Sig
aorino, you have not yet spoken to me of
your journey to Brazil why don't you
tell me something about it ?"
81 saw very little of that country,
Helen" answered the fictitious Ralph,
evasively.
"Ah ! [ understand" rejoined the
lovely girl, lending a meaning of her own
to Georges hesitation "you stopped
there but very short time, and then
started, nobody ever knew for what
country"
A long silence followed. Helen, wholly
absorbed in her thoughts, seemed uncon-
scious of everything; then, suddenly
rising, she joyfully exclaimed, "There,
there she is Did not promise it to
you?"
"What !"
" The moon! quick, let us go into the
garden. And, suiting the action to the
word, she led him thither, made him
take seat on bench under an arbor
sat herself at his feet with childlike in
nocence, leaning her head on his knees.
"No poet" George Ward even now
afirms, ''ever spoke of love better than
Helen Van Brunt did that night"
Whether pity or love guided him to
her house, George could not say; the
fact is, he felt more deeply interested in
Helen every day. He spent all his even
ings with her, and each meeting was a
new delight to him. He no longer
pressed his lawyer to hasten the settle
ment OF his affairs, and seemed to be
very happy. Sometimes, however, af-
ter leaving her, and, while musing on
the events Of the evening, he felt the
oddness OF his situation, and cloud of
sadness fell upon his brow. "What
will be the end of this adventure ?" he
asked himself repeatedly. "Of all this
love not single particle is mine p Still,
though his anxiety increased every day,
he continued to visit her, and would not
have renowned this pleasure for any
thing in the world.
One evening Helen was sad and I'M

For this Admiral D'Anville

To ravage with fire and steel

In the houses there was fear

A tempest should arise
TO drive the French fleet hence,
And scatter it far and wide,
Or sink it in the sea,
We should be satisfied,
And thine the glory be-"
This was the prayer made,
For my soul was all on fame,
And even as I prayed

And the broad sails in the van
Like the tents of Cushan shook,
Or the curtains Of indian.

All, never were there wrecks
So pitiful as these
Like a potter's vessel broke
