Minnie Appleton bit her cherry-red
lip, while the deep color mounted to her
brow. Mrs. Appleton looked grieved
and perplexed.
"HoR delighted we should all have

Rosalind!'
"Hush!" said Mrs. Appleton, gIanc-
ing tc ward the door; 'there she comes
now"
"Oh. Rosalindr' cried Minnie, receiv-

"how glad am to see you! We were
just talking nbout-about the girl Harry

last night, at lust about dusk, having

seams of a sleeve, saw Miss Evelyn
come out dressed like nun, in black

it is after dark before they return"
N sooner had Miss Adderley taken
her leave than Minnie few down to
Harry's room to impart to him the start
ling tiaings she had just received.
"Nonsense. said Harry Appleton, con-
temptuously. "Rosalind Adderley is a
malicious scandal .monger, and you are
fools for listening to her gossip. What
should my Evelyn be doing at that time
of night in the street.
"That's just the very question. Harry"
cried Minnie. "Will you believe your

Nine. Eugene Laplsce's rooms were
growing dark, although it was still light

tleman called after the ''lace basquine,"
which happened, rather singularly, not
to be quite completed.
'If monsieur will but wait a brief
WHILE" apologizsd madam, drawing for

And with strained eye, and heart
which seemed to stand still in his breast,
Harry Appleton beheld the slender figure
of Evelyn Austnether not to be mistaken
in its exquisite proportions and graceful
motion, emerge from the opposite door
way, hasten down the street, aud finally
join figure at the corner, who offered
his arm aud led her away, both walking
rapidly.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1884-10-25

Harry left the apartment, resolutely
striding across the street and ringing the
door-bell.
'NIiss Austnether is not at home, sir, II
said the astonished servant. maid, who
was unaccustomed to see Mr., Appleton
there ct that time.
II will come in and wait until she re-
turns" briefly responded Mr.. Appleton,
The minutes passed away like hours,
as Mr.. Appleton paced restlessly up and
down the room, waiting for Evelyn Aust
neither to return, in order that be might
give her back her plighted troth once
and forever.
The mantel clock struck 7 as she en-
tered, her soft blue eyes shining, her
cheeks flushed with healthful exercise.
Harry, you here" she cried, Joy
ously.
81 am here, Evelyn" was his cold re.
ply.
k'How strangely you speokl What has
happenedp" she questioned in startling
accents.
Much" he answered, still in the
same strange, hard voice. II have come
to bid you goodbye forever. One who
goes night after night to meet an ap-
pontment with some stranger, without
the knowledge of her betrothed husband
can scarcely expect to retain his love"
"Harry, what do you mean?" she de-
manded.
And he told her all. She listened in
silence.
Il can see in this" she said "the
hand your sister and Miss Adderley. 1
knew she was watching us, but never
dreamed she had the will or power to
work evil like this"
"Then you can explain it?' eagerly
asked Appleton.
II would have told you about it Harry,
long ago, had it not seemed like foolish
and vain glorious boasting. 1 go every
evening an hour to poor little lame Bes-
sic Warden, who has voice like an an
gel, but whose poverty will uot allow Of
its being cultivated; have given her
lessons for month to qualify her for
becoming a teacher of music"
"And the gentleman?"
II should think you would have recog-
eized my brother Charley, who comes
from his Office as far as the corner to
meet me, and escorts me there, calling
for me afterward. Oh, Harry, could
you not have trusted me SO far?"
Harry folded her to his breast.
Evelyn, darling, can you ever for
give me?"
"You are already forgiven" she said
lightly. "But, oh. Harry, this must be
the last time you are ever jealous, either
as lover or husband"
II shouldn't have been SO now" he
answered. 'if it hadn't been for that SER
pent, Rosaliud Adderley."

NEARER HOME.

A sweet, sweet, thought nyades my mind
This eve, as mid the fading light
l feel the busy cares of day
Subside before the peace of night.
'Tis this: as sure as speeds the ship
Across the oceans crested foam;
By just the journey of day
I'm nearer home, Pm pearer home.
And further from all pain or care,
From every human fear or cross,
Much less to know of woe and tears,
Or taste the cup of earthly dross.
Thro' many ills I've struggled on,
And past the wayside's dusty loan,
By just the journey of day
Pm nearer home, I'm nearer home.
And, oh, the rapture that it brings
To know Pm nearer my waiting crown,
And closer to my fathers feet,
Where earth's burdens are laid down.
And now the night shade drifts athw wart
The splendor of yon sunset dome,
And by the journey of a day
I'm nearer home, Pm nearer home.

A RISING TIDE.

The West wind clears the morning,
The sea shines silver-grav;
The night was long, but fresh and strong
But awakes the breezy day;
Like smoke that flies across the lit,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and far, along the bar,
The tide comes creeping in.
The dreams of midnight showed me
A life of loneliness,
A stony shore, that knew no more
The bright waves soft caress;
The morning broke, the Visions fled
With dawn new hopes begin;
The light is sweet, and at my feet
The tide comes rolling in.
Oyer the bare, black boulders
The ocean sweeps and swells;
Oh, waters wide, ye come to hide
Dull stones and empty shells;
hear the floods lift up their voice
With loud triumphant din;
Sad dreams depart-rest doubling heart,
The tide comes foaming inl

TN THE DEVILS NAME. "

Early in the morning of severe win
ter day the concierge Of very high and
marrow dwelling in the neighborhood of
St. Madeleine's, Paris, was disturbed
by the sudden violent ringing of the
door bell.
Monsieur Jean Joyeuse made IN obeis-
ance as he saw before him gentleman
Of fine presence, who was the possessor
of a head of remarkably black hair.
There is a room to be let herec"
asked the stranger.
Monsieur Joy euse assentod with an
other bow. The stranger wished to see
the apartment. Jean remarked most
politely that be had three rooms to let
-one in the first story another in the
second, and sill another higher up in
the mansard.
Then lead me to the mansard room )"
Monsieur Jean suffered forth that
the attic was not fitted for such gentle.
man.
The stronger made an impatient ges-
ture, and said shortly:
"Prepare the room, and in the course
of the forenoon will moYe in"
With these words he drew forth his
purse and gave napoleon as earnest
money. jean then saw him enter an
equipage near the church and rattle
away.
Monsieur and Madame Joyeuse had
ample leisure in the succeeding hours,
which they devoted to the cleaning of
the garret room. This was hardly &C.
complished as the mysterious stranger
drove up, accompanied by a servant.
The latter carried gloomy looking
black cRsket, resembling child's coffin
in size and shape. The stranger said,
abruptly:
Monsieur Jean,you are to admit only
one gentleman to see me-"
Very well, sir; but how am to know
him2"
"By the countersipn; In the DEVILS
name2"
The worthy conjugal pair had hardly
recovered from their fright when the bell
jingled again, and second stranger np-
peared, man Of most lowering aspect,
with dark glances and still darker bushy
eyebrows.
'Did gentleman move in here to-
day2"
Eyes; but he receives no one."
"He will receive me, Let me in. /
come in the devils namel"
Thereupon the dismal guest vanished
likewise. From now on these two-the
lodger who did not make this his sleep
ing and the DEVILS ambassador-met
each morning at q certain hour in Mad
anne Jeans house, shut the door of the
mansard room behind them, and at o.
clock in the afternoon departed, to meet
again in the morning, Monsieur and
Madame Joyeuse did their best to dis
cover the clandestine practices of these
dangerous men, They listened by turns
at the door, but could hear nothing but
goddess songs, which re-echoed from the
mansard walls. They endured this for
six weeks. One day, when there was a
pause in the singing the porter caught
up few crumbs of the conversation,
"Courage Courage!" Jean heard one
say. He recognized his lodger's voice,
"But it is SO hard to play the devilT
said the other.
