after the physician.
An hour later the two rode up
to the door of magnificent man
sion, surrounded by ornamental
grounds. flower gardens, and every
indication that those who dwelt
there were possessed of wealth and
refined taste.
At the door an elderly gentle
man met .hem, who called out
pleasantly:
"Well, Fred, / am glad to see
You, my boy. Richard told me you
had arrived this morning"
Eyes, colonel, I received sixty
days furlough and stopped to see
you on my way home; and this
afternoon Miss Lulu and myself ran
off for ride" replied the young
officer.
"And I am very glad we did,
papa, for ] found your overseer,
Carters and FIRE ofsthe hired ineu,
had beaten n boy severely, Just be-
cause he did not stop when COM
manded to-" said Lulu.

andthe men shtll leave my place at

no harm, and his being gypsy is

"A surprise for me?" said Lulu.

for you-one in every way compe-
tent to teach you singing and in
strumental music. as you desire,
and who speaks italian perfectly;
she will be here in two weeks, and I

you can complete your education
under her."
81 am so glad was afraid that
l would have to go to a boarding
school," And Lulu assembled to
her. room, while her father took
Capt. Delaney in charge.
The gypsy boy was severely hurt,
and for nearly week the doctor
feared he might not recover. His
father hung night and day over
him, never caring for himself. At
length the youth rallied, and re-
cuperatcd with such rapidity that
the gypsy chief said he could take
him back to camp, a kindness that
was accepted.
"And, lady" said the chief, with
deep feeling, 'tmy boy owes you his
life, and the prayers of our people
will ever be for your JOY. l have
money to pay, yet | will not insult

you brought MY boy to your own

"Now, lady, beg you to remem-
Der, if ever the world should turn
against you. that you have true
friends in the camp of Capt. Carl,
the gypsy.
Lulu offered her hand in farewell
to both Capt. Carl, as his tribe
called him, and the boy; and the
dignifiel manner and striking ap-
pearance of the wandering chief
could not but impress her.
The second day after the depart
ureI of the igypsies from Sanford
Hill, as the rich old ex-army Off
GERS place was called, there was an
arrival in the person of the govern
ess engaged to Finish off, Lulu's
education.

THE DEATH CHARM.

Along the broad highway IN the
State of Maryland rode two per-
sons, mounted upon two splendid
animals. with the easy grace of
equestrians accustomed to the sad
die.
One was maiden of scarcely
more than sixteen, with fresh,
lovely face. and a form developing
into perfection, wearing a dirk blne
habit and SLOUGH hat with heavy
ostrich plume. Gauntlet gloves in
cased her tiny hands, while about
her there was an air of high breed
ing.
Her company was nearly double
her age, attired in the undress uni
form of captain Of cavalry. He
was a striking looking man, with a
frank, fearless face, that was very
fascinating.
That there was love affair exist
ing between the two-young as was
the maiden-their Chances indi-
Gated, and the course of true love,
in their case, seemed to be running
smooth.
II Presently they came upon a crowd
of men in the roadway. A youth
lay bound upon the ground, his face
pale and bleeding, and above him
bent half dozen rude fellows, talk
ing in angry tones.
Garter. what means this disturb =
ance?' asked the maiden sternly,
addressing one Of the men.
The man touched his hat politely
and replied:
,'F at means, Miss Lulu, that we've
: caught. a Tartar here, but we've got
him tied fast now"
"What has he been doing, Car
ter?"
"t "Well, you see, Miss, I saw him
coming ont of the forest, where, you
know, your father allows no gun
ming, and ] called to him to stop
and he paid no attention to me, SO
I called the boys from the field and
we gave chase and caught him, al
though he fought like tiger"
"And have you dared attack a
man in the public road, sir? My
father shall hear of this at once, !"
said Lulu Sanford, angriiy. J
"He's nothing but a gypsy, Miss,
from the camp over the hill >yon-
der" sullenly said the man.
HE is a human being and was
tdqing. np h,am. Unbind him at
once, sir"
The young officer now sprang
4 from his horse aud quickly released
the youth, who was secured with a
rope, aud said kindly: Get up,
my man, and return to your camp"
The youth turned his dark eyes
upon the speaker and said, faintly:
Il can not, sir; 1 am badly hurt. :"
II Shame on you, Carter! "A num-
Der of bury men to beat a poor boy
as you have donei You shall suffer
for this, all of you!' cried the mail
en-, Indignantly; and, us the men
hung their heads abashed, she coh-
tinued:
.'Raise him in your arms and
carry him at once to the mansion,
while / ride by and send DIR. Moore
to see him. Tell Jane to put him
in !, comfortable ROOM"
"a Anxious to redeem themselves in
the eyes of their employers daugh-
ter, the men raised the youth in
their arms and bore him away,
while Lulu Sanford and her escort,

had mistaken her, and believed her
to be thoroughly good and true
woman.
81 would like to see Miss San
ford-my boy has sent her some
little trinkets which he made for
her." said Capt. Carl, the gypsy
chief, appearing at Sanford Hill one
day, nearly two years after his de-
parture.
In his hand he held basket, in
which were some wooden and shell
ornaments skillfully carved.
Miss Lulu has not been very
we'll of late, and it's pity, for Cap
tain De Lancy is coming home soon
to marry her; but I'll tell her you
are hele," said the butler, and he
soon returned with word that he
was to come into the library.
In an easy chair, a book lying
closed upon her lap, sat Lulu San
ford, looking pale, with hsggard
expression in her beautiful eyes.
1t was very kind of your son to
remember me, and these are very
beautiful indeed. I suppose he is
quite a man now?"
But the gypsy made no reply, and
his eyes were riveted upon Lulu.
Again she spoke to him, surprised
at his steange look, and then from
his lips burst the question:
"Where did you get that charm,
lady?"
Supported by gold chain Of rare
workmanship that encircled her
neck, hung massive gold heart,
with a single ruby of rare size in
the center, and upon this the eyes
of the gypsy were fixed with star
tied look. 4H
"This beautiful charm" and Lulu
raised it in her fingers, was given
to me q month ago by my COVER
ness"
Lady, I would know that gold
heart with its single red eye among
a million; it is the Death Charm !"
The man spoke in hoarse tones,
and his manner startled Lulu, who
said quickly: II
The Death Charm? What C.
you mean?"
Lady, let me see it, please?"
Impressed by his manner, Lulu
unfastened the clasp and handed it
to him.
For moment he gazed intently
upon it, and then. to the surprise of
the maiden, he touched spring,
the existence of which she knew
not, and it flew open like a locket.
Il knew I was not mistaken-it
is the Death Charm. See here,
lady-do you see these little marks
that look like engraving? Well,
they are holes through the gold
back, as you see when 1 hold it up
to the light. There-you see this
sponge within this wire cases-this
is saturated with deadly poison
poison that you inhale day by day,
until You gradually die, and none
know the cause of your death.
Lady, he who gave you this wished
to murder you!" -
As white as snow, and trembling
with excitement, Lulu cried:.
"No, no, no! 1t WAS given me by
my dear governess, Viola Halel"
"Viola Hale! The first name is
hers; she must be the one who is
your foe, lady. Is the woman you
speak of in this house?"
As the gypsy spoke the governess
glided into the room, and when her
eyes fell upon the tall form near
Lulu, she stopped, turned livid, and
with cry upon her lips, sank to
the floor.
ooh, sir, call the servants, for she
has tainted" cried Lulu, in alarm.
Lady, let her lie there while /
tell you she is not worthy of kind
thought. That woman is my WIFE
"Your wife," whispered Lulu.
Eyes, lady, she is, like myself,
gypsy, and at fourteen years of age
became my wife and queen of the

beauty.
Her age was hard to tell-at times
she seemed like girl, and then
again one might not be far from
wrong if he said she was nearly
thirty.
From her entree into the man.
sion she ruled, and yet no one SEEM
ed to know that she held the reins,
but Col. Sanford soon became her
slave. Lulu seemed wholly under
her influence. and no one appeared
to be conscious that she made her
power felt. She was an accomplish
ed musician, and sang with a depth
of feeling that would capture. any
| listener.
When at length Capt. Fred De-
lancy came again to Sanford Hill,
he seemed, to Lulu's surprise. not
to take n fancy to her.
"That woman has history,
Lulu, and n dark one, mark my
word for it, he said.
"She is very beautiful, Fred, ac-
complished, sweet tempered, and,
and"
"And what, Lulup"
"And / do not like to have you
find fault with my sweet governess. "
"Then / will not. She's an angel
only she has history" and the
persistent man could not be changed
in his opinion.
The next day Fred proposed a
horseback ride, and when the horses
were brought, Viola Hale appeared
in q habit that set off her wondrous
beauty strangely.
"She's been in circus, I'll wa
GER" said Fred, in u low tone, as he
lifted Lulu to her saddle, and he
was convinced of this when he saw
the perfect manner in which the
governess managed the wild horse
she rode.
Whether Viola Hale realized that
the young captain did not exactly
like her, it was hard TO tell; but she
suddenly began to turn her battery
of fascination upon him in a man
ner that threatened to change his
mind regarding her. But fortu-
nately his furlough was soon ended,
and he departed for his command
on the frontier, happy man, be-
cause Lulu Sanford had promised
to become his wife when she was
year and a. half older, and Col SAM
ford approved the match; for the
young officer came of q good fam
lily, and was brave and dashing
fellow, and possessed no evil hab-
its.
=. x
A year passed by, and again Cap
tain Fred. De Lancy was visitor
at Sanford Hill, and delighted ut
the wonderful progress Lulu had
made under her beautiful COVER
ness.
Have you picked up any links,
Lulu, that connect her with the
past?" asked Fred.
"For shame, Fred! She is all
that is lovely, and I believe that
papa is really in love with her; and
1 assure you I would not object to
her for step-mother."
"And does she care for your
father, Lulu?"
Il thought so once; now / be-
lieve she only admires and respects
him..
HE lost heavily of late, he wrote
me-"
! Eyes, you'll not get the rich heir
ess you expect to, as papa is now
barely well of.
81 have been more fortunate, for
my wealth has increased; and after
| marry you ! shall resign from the
army, and settle down to take care
of my estates"
Il am glad to hear you say so,
for have no desire to see your
brown curls taken offby an Indians
scalping-knife. But here comes
Miss Hale"
AS Lulu spoke, the governess
swept into the room, and was more
