 Face

'We, his college chums, called him Apollo, quite as often as peerless Pierre, for not only was he hand some fellow, but he seemed perfect paragon of noble manhood, excelling alike in athletic exercises, in his studies and in a disposition which made him the prime favorite of class mates as well as tutors. 1 can give you no truer picture of Mr. Merrivale, my dear coz, for to go into details would exhaust all the good adjectives in Webster's Unabridged. All l can say is, you will like him, for you cannot help it.'
 .Lenore looked at Ralph little de- fiantly.
 "So far as his beauty is concerned, Ralph Bronson, whether l like him, or not, that will weigh little one way or the other. In my estimation, a man S fortune is not necessarily, a hand some face"
 Ralph interrupted her with laugh.
 "Oh, well, Miss Lenox, it counts for a great deal. l can bear witness to that, for have been cut out any num- Der of times by handsomer fellows But you will have a chance to form your own estimate of Pierre, as he has notified me of his intention to &C., cept an invitation which I rendered him some time ago, and make me a visit
 "Indeed," The blue eyes of Miss Lenox opened wide with surprise. And when will your paragon appear at the manor?"
 Very soon; in fact, l expect him any day, now. He writes from New Orleans and tells me that he is just recovering from severe injury and feels that few weeks in my jolly so- ciety will do him a world of good, so that l can look for him any moment. You must prepare for quick surren- der to his charms, Lenore.
 T shall prepare for nothing of the sort, cousin Ralph. You shall see into what rare piece of marble l can metempsyehose my heart"
 Perhaps; but l warn you!"
 And I thank you for it, but it is unnecessary"

unnecessary.

Although she had told her cousin his warning was unnecessary, Le- nore's curosity was strong to see his peerless friend Visitors at the manor house were very few and she looked forward to the arrival of their guest as an event in the monotonouS round of her life. Ralph had so eX- patiated upon his friends personal appearance that, if she found not a god, surely her disappointment would be woefui.
 Seated upon ledge or rock which had been torn from the mountain side above her in some great, cataclys- mic upheavel of the past ages, she held a novel listlessly and marveled if, seeing him in all his peerless glory she should succumb to his charms-what then? She laughed. Such an idea was absurd.
 Hearing step behind her, she sprang up in alarm
 Pardon me if l have frightened you," said stranger, lowing grace fully, but l am looking for a gentle man by the name of Bronson, Ralph Bronson; does he reside near here?'
 So this was peerless Pierre! He had a magnificent form, clear, sweet voice and, as he raised his cap, a mass of yellow curls were visible; but his face although regular in form, with large, fine eyes, a sensitive nose, and refined mouth, his right cheek was disfigured by terrible scar. Miss LenoX caught these little details of his appearance in the brief mo- ment he was speaking.
 You are half mile from the road" " she answered, pointing in it's direc- tion; the house is only short dis. tance north, after you reach that. am MT. Bronsons cousin and live at the manor house. l was just about ready to return and, if you like, l will show you the way"
 Thank you; you are very kind. So this is Miss Lenox? Many a time have I heard Ralph eulogize his cousin He stopped, picked up the novel which she had dropped in her alarm, and handed it to her with a pretty gesture. Tn fact, 1 think all oi Ralphs college friends were more or

THE MOUNTAIN TOP

Where is the top of the mountain? 1 have searched for it many a day I have thought had almost reached it When To. It had vanished away. But the doubter is damned already, And life is sham and a show To him who never looks upward To Tothemountaintopcapped in the snow Each soul blieves that the summit Of effort and longing desire,
 Waits somewhere before and above it. Else why will it struggle-but where? If it's always upward-still upward, Then better to never begin;
 The soul and the mind and the body Grow weary expecting to win. Let me reach the top of the mountain And tarry, if but for day:
 At the end of that day 1 am richer Than any time when on the way.
The Newark journal., 1907-10-11

The day wore on. The afternoon came and, just as the sun was setting, Lenore heard the sound of advancing wheels. Her cousin was returning. He could tell her something of Pierre! The thought electrified her and she jumped to window that commanded view of the road. It was not carriage that was approach ing, but a heavy wagon, with two or three men. One of them was in the back part of the vehicle and-merciful heavens. whose head was that he held upon his knee? Who was that stretched out in the wagon-boX, so still and death-like? It was Pierre Merrivale!
 Suddenly she heard step on the stair; it approached, drew near and paused before her door. Then some one entered A second later and a strong arm was thrown around her and a voice, tremulous with emotion came to her ears. It was Ralph.
 "Oh, my poor Lenore, is it not ter rible?"
 He is not dead?" she cried, clutch ing his arm with her white. nervous hands; "oh, Ralph tell me, tell me he is not dead!"
 No, no, he is not dead. God knows he is too noble to die. You must be calm, Lenore."
 She gave way to her feelings, but gradually grew more calm.
 How did it happen, Ralph?"
 He nearly sacrificed his life to save another"
 How brave, how noble he isl" said Lenore, when she learned the story
 Pierre Merrivale had long fight in the illness thus imposed upon him. He had come to visit the Bronsons to recover from a similar disaster-one which left the red scar upon his face In that battle he had faced the flames to rescue child. Ralph told Lenore of this in the long hours when they watched at Pierre's bedside. Ralph told her, too, that Pierre had made him Solemnly promise never to reveal the secret of that scar to any living persons And he had not; but now in the face of this last deed of hero ism, he must needs recount to his cousin the story of that scar which had humiliated his friend.
 T love him now" declared Lenore with flashing eyes, better than ever if such were possible
 And when Pierre Merrivale opened his eyes and came out of the lethargy in which he had been epcompassed so long, he understood the loving eyes that bent above him, and Lenore needing the inclination of his hand bent down. Their lips met in one passionate kiss.

born pride had quite enthralled the bosom of Pierre Merriyale.
 Lenore LenoX saw them enter the carriage and vanish down the road among the trees. She felt that the light had forever gone out of her life, and that the future existence would be miserable to her.

less acquainted with Miss Lenox."
 From this point the conversation l lapsed into various subjects. Lenore, becoming deeply interested in their talk, found themselves approaching the manor house all too soon. Ralph saw l them coming and hastened down the l walk to meet them. At the first i glimpse of his friend, Pierre Merrivale became strangely silent and pained expression settled about his brows. ] Why, old fellow, this is quite sur { prise,' said Ralph as he drew near and caught his friends hand; then, 1 looking into his face, he started and sharp cry of astonishment escaped him. Great heavens, Pierre! what terrible"
 MT Merrivale turned his head away sadly and his friend recollected him. self.
 Forgive me, forgive me. old chap; but you know you"
 Yes, I know Ralph. I have not always been this way, but" with a | sigh, "misfortunes come to us all"
 It was in this manner that Pierre Merrivale came to visit them. He was bright in conversation and agree able in manner, but was neither gay nor careless. If handsome looks i'm pei men to become coxcombs and | Lotharios, Lenore thought 1t very easy to understand how peerless Pierre had fallen from foppery. That dreadful scar would impress upon him with terrible power the fact that he was made of common clay with other men. As she came to converse with him more and more Rnd to know him better, she was perfectly ready to believe that Pierre had never set himself above common men because of his peerless person. And as their companionship heightened with the long summer months, her pity grew into an attachment which she could ] hardly persuade herself to believe. In truth her heart, which she had steeled to resist the charms of the perfect Pierre, had surrendered first to pity and then to love at the sight of that noble, but disfigured face
 More than once Pierre was at the point of telling how madly he loved her, but in a trice he thought of the scar that disfigured his face. What woman could love man with that hideous mark? No, he would not tell her. She should never know that his heart had been wheedled away by a miserable feeling of Oity

The last day of Pierre Merrivales visit at Bronson Manor had arrived
 Apparently, it was not hard to bid Lenore adieu. There was clasp of the hand and a conventional God speed you," but behind these formal ities lurked feeling so passionate on the part of both that one relenting glance from Pierre would have opened the foodgates of their mutual happiness. Yet this glance for which Lenore would have given almost her very life was not vouchsafed, for stub-
