black pail had fallen upon it; and.
though the two old people bore up for
the sake of their boy, that none might
say that they condemned him, the

sore atfliction filled them for their on

Charles Tresdon and Edwin Mott,

their veins and mounting to their
heads, quarreled over a tritle; words
became hot and Insulting; and Charles,

friend, fell dead at his feet-fell dead

him. He knew not then that terrible
blight, other than his crime, had ell
tered her soul. She had just decided 20
confide all to him, and sat waiting his
coming to share her great happiness
with him, when his pale. haggard TACO
startled her from her sweet revere
to hear the curse upon her house and
feel the double curse upon her heart.
Years have passed since. but Ellen has
never breathed her double grief TO
Charles, and by her request her par
ents have been silent as to the reve-
lations of delirium. The old people
did not long survive the terrible shock.
and at their death Ellen crossed the
ocean, and now she and Charles live
in foreign land, and though their
heads are silvered by time. neither has
ever thought of leaving the other, and
the Italians say never were two such
