1 have learned that Miss Balfour and |
could never, at best, be more to each other
than good friends
An inscrutable expression came into the
girls face. She stood still, and eyed her
companion searchingly. Surely she
said, ''if you oppose your aunt's plans, you
will injure your prospects for life.
"Yes," answered David, with simple
candor "My mother will be sorely dis
appointed; she had hoped so much from
my aunt's new interest in me. 1 am sorry
for my mother, but l don't fear the future
for myself if" David broke off.
"Won't you wait till you see Miss Bal

aunt's views?"

is hideous to me-.

of plans to Mrs Wilton ~
"Explain I shall write and tell her
the truth-shall say that 1 have met
you"
The girls lips parted in a curious smile;
she stood stock-still, facing David in the
moonlight. "Whom shall you say that
you have met ?" she asked, lifting her eyes
suddenly to her companions face
"I-I-dont know; a thousand times
| have wanted to ask your name. Will
you tell it me now? ?" faltered David hum
bly,

l am staying at the Angleterre 1 never
expected to remain unknown to you so
long; men are SO slow at guessing;
woman would have found us out long ago.
Why, there were thousand ways of learn
ing our names, and | often wondered why
you didn't ask me mine downright When
we first heard that you were going to stay
in Venice 1 persuaded Mrs. Wilton to
come over here and make your acquaint-
ance under the rose. 1t was no more
pleasant to me than to you, can tell you,
to be under orders matrimonial to Mrs.
Wilton. 1 was no more willing to accept
your advances than you were to offer them.
At least 1 wanted, before we were formal
ly introduced, to know you for myself in
my own way to see you and talk with you
when you were off your guard. 1t is of
course for you to say"-with an arch
glance in David's Observation-Disclosures you
will abide by your decision to return to
England tomorrow. But at least, Sir r.
with saucy smile and bright look in the
blue eyes-"you will please apologize very
humbly for your assurances in stating be-
fore my very face that the thought of
Joyce Balfour is hideous to you"
We suppose that Dayid's apology prov
ed an ample one At any rate we know
that year after the events related in our
story David was not only installed steward
of Mrs. Wilton's estates in Devonshire and
Somerset, but that he was also married to
Miss Balfour. The first volume of poems

An Almost Unknown Land.

Away far in the midst of the South Pa
cifc, in latitude fourteen degrees south, and
seventeen degrees east longitude, and right
in the track of the United States, New Zea-
land and Australian steamers, lies the beau
tiful Island of Tutuila, rising in its solitude
to an elevation of 1900 feet above the level
of the sea, and clothed with evergreen trop-
ical verdure.
To the mariners eye, it presents one of
those Eden-like scenes rarely to be found
on our globe. Resting upon the tops of
the mountains are seen the clouds peculiar
to these regions The almost perpendicu-
lar ridges, from the mountain-top to the
sea, intersected with beautiful valleys, COW
cred with foliage of all kinds, with the rain
pouring down in torrents in one, and in the
next the sun shining brightly; in the third,
the fog hurrying from the mountain-top to
the beach; fourth is scarcely visible, with
the many-tinted rainbows forming an arch
across the whole; the ocean expending its
force upon the white coral reef; the long
line of cocoa-nut trees along the beach, with
the native villages here and there.
0ftentimes, canoe, propelled by fifty or
more painted warriors, which approaches at
almost lightning speed, comes out to meet
the visiting ships in the harbor of Pango-
Pango. The savage on the bow dances his
war-dance, and as his club moves from side
to side, the fifty paddles strike the water.
This isolated scene, far away from civili-
zation and the visitors old associations,
forms picture never to be effaced fron
his mind
The natives are fine athletic people,
averaging from five feet nine inches high to
six feet, well formed and strong. The wo-
men are particularly good-looking, medium
height and in their wild simplicity adorned
with flowers and wreaths.
The islands of the Samoa group have
seldom been visited by Europeans, and IN
consequence, the natives are unused to our
habits and customs. Upolo, forty miles tc
the west of Tutuila, stands first among the
group in point of fertility, having an area
of 1925 square miles which may be divided
into three districts-the West, Middle and.
Eastern.
The western slope, from the mountain to,
the sea- is all suitable for cultivation. and
three-fourths of the middle, and tws-thirdsi
of the eastern, are all susceptible, Of culti-
walton. The soil is of the richest kind,
composed of decomposed vegetable matter,
etc. Rains are frequent throughous the
year, and small streams every mile or so
flow from the mountains to the sea, afford
ing plentiful supply water at all times.
Opolo is the most fertile island in the
Pacific, more SO than the island of Ceylon.
In every district are to be found figs, dates,
indigo, tamarinds, cinnamon, nutmegs, gin
ger, taro, bgead-fruit, cocoa-nuts, bananas,
sweet potatoes, mangoes, melons, lines,
pumkiEs, pine-apples, oranges, custard-
! apples, citrons, guavas, pomegranates, mui-
berries, maize, cotton, sugar, rice, coffee,
etc.
The island to the westward of Upolo is
not quite so fertile, but covers much larg-
er area. At no distant date, these islands;
will become the garden Of the Pacific.
