The sun shone brightly on the
lake; once more Arthur Desmond
found himself ascending the broad
steps Of the wellknown hotel, where
he had dreamed his brightest dreams
and walked to his bitterest waking.
No more dreams though, it should
be all reality now.
"Mrs. Ada Leighton" he asked.
The host turned pale and skunk
away as he repeated Arthur's words.
The host turned to a fair, hand
some woman, who, recognizing Ar
thurs voice. came forward with
outstretched hand.

"Once more, Mrs. Nicholas he

The sweet face blanched.
Colonel Desmond, you surely

"Heard what ?" he asked. II

"Ada died last week, +" she replied
Arthur Desmond staggered back

so NEAR HER LIPS.
BY S. L. MERRILL.

The dusty gold of unnumbered
stars were sparkling through the
darkness ola beautiful summer night
and the clock had just struck eight.
Arthur Desmond, dreamily smoking
his cigar on the balcony of the New
port House, mechanically counted
the strokes without realizing the
onward creeping Of time.
81 think she loves me-" he unused,
watching the far-off lights that
seemed to float over the crimson sur
face of the lake "Surely, l can not
be mistaken
Arthur Desmond was dark and
handsome, with features possessing
regularity and beauty, and brown
misty eyes, where the light slept in
dreamy quiescence-a man in the
full prime of life; and as he sat
there, watching the stars and sky,
there was soft rustic on the bal
cony beside him, and an arch,
triumphant little laugh.
$50, [ have found you at last, Mr..
Desmond" was the exclamation that
met his ear.
"Were you looking for me, Mrs.
Leighton - he asked.
Ada Leighton was a woman, every
inch of her, and in her woman ma
ture she felt the strong, subdued
tenderness of the heart that spoke
out through his words.
Looking for you-oh, no !" she
said, with a charming stimulation
of total indifference. But | Won
dered where you had gone"
Desmond tossed his cigar over the
rail of the balcony, with flutter at
his heart; he felt, somehow, that the
hour of his destiny had come.
"Why did you Go that ?" she
questioned. 81 am not going to
stay more than a minute"
s'Stay, Ada" he pleaded, Il have
something important to say to you"
She came out a step or two farther
on the balcony, and took chair that
he moved forward for her,
"And, now, what is this wonder
full secret 2" she laughed, looking up
into the face Of the man who stood
close to her, leaning against the rail
of the balcony with folded arms-an
erect, graceful figure.
1T is no secret, Ada" he said,
composedly; "only that l love you;
you must have guessed that long
ago"
"Heavens ! and / could have died
to save you this !" she cried, shrink
ing backward. ono, Arthur-not
another word. l must not listen"
lie looked at her with wonder
that almost amounted to horror.
Was this the way women received a
declaration of love
Il have a right to expect an an
swer, Ada" said he; 81 have right
to know from your own lips whether
YOU will marry me or not.
u cannot marry you, Arthur"
she replied.
"Cannot marry me-" he repeated,
slowly ada, haveyou never loved
lne ?"
"Oh, Arthur, do not ask me. DO
not compel me to disclose my own
weakness" she sObbed.
MY darling" he said taking both
her hands in his and looking into
her eyes with a searching glance.
81 do love you, Arthur, she said.
~ have loved you"
"Yet you will not marry me ?" he
asked.
81 tell you that it is impossible, 80
she replied. "Oh, if I had gone
away several weeks ago-if / had
only died, Arthur"
He checked her hystericieal sobs
with gentle gravity.

over me, while others are struck
down right and left of me
For Gods sake take these boards
off me; they are crushing the life
out of me ~ groaned a piteous voice
at his feet the voice of the man
who stood beside him scarcely mo-
ment ago. His face, ashy pale and
streaked with blood, was scarcely
recognizable
The man uttered singular Earring
sound, half a laugh and half groan.
80 much hunt that the play is
about oyer-curtain going to fall on
the last act, eh Oh, there is no
USE" he added, as Arthur wiped the
crimson clots away with his hand

Hearts are trumps, and / have none;
the Lord has them all and | am
euchered. Give me little of that
brandy-there, thank you. So | am
really dying ?"
"You cannot live an half hour
longer, said Arthur struck with the
awful change that was passing over
the handsome, wicked features.
Where's the od6s,' exclaimed
the stranger with the same reckless
laugh. stay, though; you wouldn't
object to doing favor for dying
man, would you ?"
81 will do anything for you that /
cam" returned Arthur.
Thanks" said the man. II have
always thought it would end in some
sudden way; and my wife-she win
not miss me very much; and yet |
should have liked to have asked her
pardon for one or two things. Win
you find her out aud give her a let
ter for me ? I've carried it in my
pockets for months. Somehow /
thought l should need it suddenly
at last"
II viii try" said Arthur, whose
whole soul revolted against the un-
pleasant task.
81 can't find it, said the man as
he felt with weak uncertain fngures
about his breast.
"Ah, here it is. Give her the let
ter; the address is here; and tell her
that when | was dying, l was sorry
to think that / had treated her so.
Maybe, she'd be happier when | am
dead-it will be the first time Fred
leighton ever made her happy, poor
thing"
Fred Leighton !" repeated Des-
mond.
But the glazing eyes, looking help
lessly toward Arthur Desmond, re-
turned no recognizing glance-the
ears were closed to all earthly sound
and the stranger never knew with
what a shuddering repulsion Arthur
laid his head down amongst the
the splinters of wood and broken
seats.
One lamp yet hung, faring and
Pickering from it's support, casting
lurid brilliancy over the scene, and
amid that scene of awful confusion,
Arthur Desmond read the address of
the letter: ada Leighton, Boston,
Mass
lie read it, and knew that the
cloud which had hung over his life
was finally lighted up-Ada was free
free at last. Not in vain bad his
life been preserved by almost mirac-
ulous interposition for so many years.
Frederick leighton had died with
his head on Arthur Desmond's
shoulder.

the burning building. The fire was
confined to the upper story of the build
ing and was soon subdued by the fire
department., but not before considerable
damage had been done to the lower
floors by water. The cigar store Of
