"I want you lo pretc j yourself off to tire seashore," directed I | he, in a manner tlmt imlicated a -olutinn { i of the whole matter.

Why. what • n (lis- , doctor lie thinking of ?" But I was de- , , ternrincd to follow JUocCrsigh'a advice, , ami soon made my arrnngcinenta. One , day I dcYolcd in making parrliasin tor , the children's presents, and left tlu ih In , charge of sister. Nest I secure.! a well- ; r.Tommended man servant, who was , posncssed •of' a variety of acconfp!ish- , mcnta i be could cook like unto the Chief , of the Bellevue, and was thoroughly in- . itlatcd, too. into the intricate mysteries ( of the olllce of ' valet. Jackson was his | name. Then a friend gave m* a sur- , prise. He offered me Hie use of his cot- | ! tnge nt Cape May, and "I'll have is sim- , ; parlor rigged up for you In a day." was , . his supplementary licncvciicncc. Jackson , ^ and I started for the shore exactly three , } weeks before the day upon which the ; . sweet chimea wi re In announce lire an"- ( nivcrsary of the birth of the Christ-child. . r We wore imssengj^'s on the morning , I train, and arrived within, the sound of I the lumhling breakera just as the sun . -was the brightest upon the rolling water and gti"tening beach. A rapid "drive along the ocean front and wo were at . my friend's cottage— a prelty, comfort, able-looking Queen Anrc affair. -My good friend has kept his word. The sun-par-lor was there; or rather the front piazza had Veen < netsed in glass frames, a carpet spread upon the floor and easy chairs scattered aroond in generous confusion. From thai sun. parlor I saw the Incidents that make up my story. IT. : We were a loirety couple— Jackson and I. Our diillag'— wlfh lire exception of one occupied "by the family of one of the men at the Life Saving Station— was the only inhabited affair in a mil* stretch of teach fron'. Back In the town thire were folks in abundance, but they rarely invaded the strand. Jackson was not r slow to make the acquaintance of meat - man and provision dealer, and wt were quickly at banhi lor housekeeping in earnest. The first day seemed like a week. I took a long walk up and down ■ the bench; vat on the ragged edgo-of the boar.1 walk, and fanrimt T could not find ' ' a soft spot in the easy chairs ol the sunT, parlor- I would liavc given my income for a book. None could be found in the -X cottage from attic to sulsceHar. My

doctor hail thrown, out a bint to my j ' . friend. jsumLiv zuu.' There- was a I 'drizzling rain ; old -So} was not even a 1 1 visitor to hiv OMju special parlor, ami ! Jaeksoirar.d'I hugged tlie big Baltimore i heater in lire iliuing room We'ynwneil, r and stretched, ami talked; 1 don't know i what about, for Jackson'scoqyarMtionnl i " abQitics were limiteti to hM-ipes for hew i I- dishes, suggestions as to effective IreaL i I ment of old clothes, and hints as to the < J' projk r way to. ice champaguc, or to draw ] the cork o» a^reer fioulc. Hut Id's voice I was musk i-i toe in that hrociy" co'.tnge. i I Jackson might have talked atmut !he I r cleansing of old soda bottles, and I emild j have lisieneil to him ; not for wiratlre < I voice at all. A sqmid of carriage wheels. We both ' ' rush lo tlie window. Tire sound ceases, i • "Why lhat carriage must have stopped I ' at our door."' cried I. " 1 I "Next door," observed Jackson. ' " "While we have beca here in lire .lining - room that .cottage lias IrecnepemM by ^ somebody."

An i I I umbrella was poked out : it was spread : I j bre-lla hid the face from view. iluT I i •jsnw-lhc-fnmvtiun in owner Joined tire i 1 upon her artiviri, hurried into the house . proper. Tliat glimpse afforded mc a i ' v ision of a pair of sky-liotcd ryes, a awwt vision of ryes, i

oval face, black, glossy, liixiyyiiis hair, c checks and a rosebud mouth. Par- a ilon me. I ain a susceptible bachelor. , each other. The driver agaih made Idvalises, small bags and wraps, ami. after u receiving his fare from Hie young lady's n hand-^anothcr view of her— he drove , off. Then I saw. no mqfe. Thoso new » neighbors otanino kept within doors tlie t rest of tire day ; not a glimpse ot tlrem i porta or at window. r But the rain ceased, the sun fought its ,, way through the murky banks of clouds, i - tho beach, glistened like a diamond- , strewed Held, and tlio waves playril up- r on tlie sands in a mad, merry fashion. i in. i change had come over the cottage. I l had thought it a cheap-looking, luram- I fortablc tiox. A woinan'H -touc'i had ( brightened it; the sweetness of a nmiilenV 1 presence gave it new colore. Easy chairs i 1 had been rolled into Hie sun parlor : * crimson rug had been placed on th, " floor; a sland or two of flowers faced me. while in the upper stories of the col. tage neat Bwiss Jotted mriaihi whitened the windows of the sleeping apartments. She evidently had boen up wlih the lark. ' One window had its curtain folded back ; ' a V shape; or rather, a "V upaidi 1 down. It wasasecondftoryajmrlmenl; ! ' probably Ur room, thought 1. Tin re ' the cage, and through the pone I • ■ saw a bilthsome canary merrily hopping i ' trrnn perch to perch. ( 1 I watch that window, impudently, ; 1 with a stare that is both aggressive and I ■ impolite. I desire to sec her. I am • standing in my sun- parlor. My patience ; ' is rewarded. Bhc soon pictures the ( 1 frame of the window ; she is leaning i 1 over the cage talking to its aweeLsonged : I cannot hear what she .says, of i ' count; but that does not prevent "my i wishing to be that bird. Foolish non. I ■ sense! 1 am too did a mau ta Indulge I r in love dreams ! ' But where Ire those , 1 rosy checks that were Kers ycslenlay? r Why, this is a sad-faced maiden ! Then . ' is a touch of care, a suggestion of trouble , 1 and a line of sorrow in that sweet face. . " How I devour her with my eyes, if I < £ were not opposed to the gossip of scrv- \ ' snta I would have sent Jackson out to , 1 find all about my neighbors; but I detest , ' tHUc-tatUe— particularly Of tho kitchen— i ' auil my uclgflbhre' affairs werF «atc from i ' the ptylng investigation of curiosity's ] ' liisire for details- But I could look at tbcm— particularly at her- and* surely i thcrb was no harm in lhat. I s ifled my ( 1 desire to leum names jiml deuils; I was , 1 content limply with tbc observations I , could make with freedom from my sun- j ' parlor. It was a sonny, bright, cheerful i h d»y. Towards noon the old man am! , t young lady sought the warm recesses of , f their glass- protected piazza. Jackson , 1 wai busy With the preparations for din- j 1 ner, and I took a chair back of a wide . l" column on my porch- I could sec whir- , n out being prominently observed. From • ihat moment I watched the scenes, iltua- ; n tions. incidents and acts of a romance , I ot life, whoso meanib| I never fathomed, and the real story' of which f never knew. I only could guess, and perhaps * my conjecture* were astray. The voting! 'V woman and her companion were engaged y in a deep and earnest conrcreaUcn. 1

[ she pleaded with him for some- ■ tiring— I know not what. As-she placed hands together in an attitude ot enI caught the gihojMWOf a hand of gold. , Was it an engngeinent or wedding ring? Why did tjie sight, of Uiat liUle j eirole of metal throw such a sad feeling into my haart? ' The ^>ld man gazed wirifuily into the Mar-tilled eyes of '■'» pi'tUiSner. Then, trembling, lie pro. dni »bfrom id- coal, pocket a letter, lie it to ho'. As she reached out. to take It she gazed upon inlo ills face lie returned a look of almost speaking pity. She fingered the letter as if it contained a poiwn. She read. Heaven help' that poor, sad-hearted girl ! 1 saw a form sink to the floor ; she bad fainted. Tenderly the old man bent down aud smoothed1 back the tresses of the whileI was to rush -to his a-istanrr. No! was a sorrow- a-deep griof. there - that lisd doors closed against intrusion.
