variation. Once he seemed to be walking
in forest with her whom he now deemed
his own, for, if he could read her eyes
Alright, she had given him her heart. They
were alone, and hand in hand went beneath
the shadows of tall trees. At last they
reached an opening in the wood, and be
meath them, on fertile slope, could be
seen the outlines of a great chateau, while
all the landscape seemed bathed in mys-
tic light, as though it had been painted by
Poussin or Claude Lorraine
1t has been said that Mr. Adrian did
not doubt that there was human counter
part of his visionary love, and ere long he
resolved to exert himself in order to find
her. He was prepared to spare neither
time, labor, nor money in conducting his
search. He often regretted that he had
no artistic skill, and was therefore unable
to portray the lovely features imprinted on
his heart, as he believed that if he had
portrait it would soon be recognized, seeing
that it was impossible for so much beauty
to remain unframed.
One afternoon when, contrary TO his
wont, he felt no inclination to sleep, sin
gular circumstance happened which infu-
enced him as though it had been direct
entreaty to lose no more time ere he began
his quest. This afternoon Mr.. Adrian had
entered his conservatory and cut Il few of
his choicest flowers, which, he told himself,
he would have taken delight in presenting
to the object of his affections. Before
putting the flowers in vase he laid them
on a small table in his library and left the
room for several minutes. On his return,
as he opened the door, he distinctly heard
sigh from within, and on entering he
found that the flowers had been moved,
though the room was empty, and it was
impossible that any one could have entered
during his absence unnoticed by him. Mr..
Adrian was much perturbed by this Incl
dent, and felt almost as if he had been re-
preached for his dilatoriness in beginning
his search; but he now resolved to delay no
longer, and he was prepared if necessary to
seek through every country Of the world
her whom he was eager to find, and he had
determined not to cease till he was success
full.

CHAPTER II.

The day following that on which Mr.,
Adrian began to wear his wig, after he had
lunched, contrary to his wont, he felt rather
drowsy, and sitting down in an arm chair in
his library he fell asleep.
He slept for more than an hour, and on
awaking his face had an almost eostatic
expression of happiness. On catching sight
of himself in the mirror over the manIel-
piece Mr. Adrian thanked Heaven that
he was still young enough to enjoy what
Victor Hugo has called "the honey of life. "
1t was evident by his radiant look that
something unusual had occurred. The
fact is that Mr.. Adrian had just had most
remarkable dream. Nothing he had ever
dreamed before had appeared so vivid and
real or had made upon him so intense an
impression, or, it may be added, had filled
his heart with such blissfql emotions,
Taking into account the nature of the
thoughts which were occupying so many
of his wakeful hours it was no more than
natural that when asleep he should dream
of lady. But it was no ordinary evanee-
cent vision that had appeared to Mr..
Adrian-indeed, no one whom he had ever
met in real life had impressed him so
strongly, and he did not doubt that in some
mysterious fashion he had beheld the coun-
terpart of an actually existing person.
The place in which she had appeared to
him seemed to be ballroom in some
stately edifce, but amid the splendor of the
scene he had been attracted only by her
voice and features, which remained indeli-
bly fixed in his mind. So vivid was the
impression that he not only believed that
the lovely being whom he had seen had a
real existence, but hoped that one day with
vigilant though entranced senses he should
watch the play of her sympathetic features
and listen to the music of her voice.
Mr.. Adrian's life entered new phase.
No more was he troubled with regrets that
he had not married earlier for in that case
he might never have found his ideal. The
lady who had appeared in his dream seemed
to be about twenty-five, and it was with
satisfaction that he told himself he was not
vet too old to win her heart.
On the following day at the same time
he had similar dream. By night, to his
regret, he slept as usual. 1t was clear tc
him that the lady who occupied nearly al
his wakeful moments and whom he Otter
saw more plainly still when he was asleeT
was person Of high rank, The place
where he oftenest saw her was room ol
hall such as could only belong to some
princely dwelling her appearance and man
ners were aristocratic; the people amons
whom she moved had high-borp air, ant
all her surroundings were of correspond
ing nature. Mr.. Adrian congratulated
himself on the fact that his own descen
and fortune did not render him an ineligi
BILE match, even for one who plainly move'
in an elevated station. There was one re
markable peculiarity about the dreams
which was that their scene never SCENE,
to be In England; che dress, too, and SUI
roundings were undoubtedly foreign, ,thoug
of what nationality they might be Nj
Adrian had not sufficient knowledge t
determine.

LAND OF THE AFTERNOON"

LAND OF THE AFTERNOON >
Carlotta Perry, in Good Housekeeping
The gray is over the gold, the earth
Has robed her in fading fitness;
And we're not as young as we used to be,
Alas for the mirrors Witness
And candor, within our secret soul,
Albeit with some lamenting
COmpes to the faithful mirrors charge
silent and sad aSsenting
We can not dance as once we did,
Till the small hours of the morning;
We do not stand at the garden gate,
The chill of the evening scorning.
We care no more for the jingling bells
Once held in such high favor;
The games that once we held so dear
Are like salt without its SAVIOR.
The long, long walks meath the skies ofJune
In the moonlight calm and stilly.
The mountain climb in the August noon
With Margaret or Lily
We loved them well, and memory
Will never through life forsake them:
But we'd rather sit in our easy chairs.
And let our children take them.
We like TO hear their voice ring
Over eroquet or tennis;
We like to see them ride or row,
Whatever skies may menace.
But we do not grieve that we have passed
Beyond these youthful pleasures
That our steadier pulses now keep time
To slower, statelier measures.
We've known the joys of the morning land.
Glorious, gay and tender;
We've stood on the midday heights amid
The harvest's ample splendor;
Now the heightened rays of the westering sun
Shed their milder fervor DER us.
And the sweet fair land of the afternoon
Spreads its mellow grace before us.
Its purple peaee-crowned mountains rise
Wrapped in the hazy distance;
Its restful labors beckon u.s.
With gentle, wise insistence.
We will enter in to the calm fair land,
Loved of the priest and poet:
For we're not as young as we used TO be.
And, what is more, we know it.
But we've won from the land ofthe far away
Some treasure of truth and duty,
Some sweetness and light we've lived to bless
The present with Joy and beauty.
We've learned the worth 0fthe human heart,
The bliss of loving and giving,
So, morn or midday or afternoon,
We've found life worth the living.
