a moment doubted Ethel's aunt, 
they ? She made them think her an angel of 
light; she would go to them and beseech them 
to be reconciled, always contriving to make mat¬ 
ters worse. Heaven knows what they must have 
Buffered during those terrible months. It could 
not last! For weeks they had been living virtu¬ 
ally separated though under one roof. They 
were too proud to let a whisper of this reach the 
world. It would have killed them all, I think. 
Ethel’s aunt had no Intention of this; ehe 
could arruugc it another way, for her heart never 
misgave her, she never turned back one iota, in 
the face of all that terrible suffering she did ar¬ 
range it! 
I don’t know that I have mentioned that 
Habky and his father were both lawyers and in 
partnership. About this time they were con¬ 
ducting a ease of great importance that required 
the presence of one of them in a distant city. 
It was a situation involving an absence from 
home for months, n situation of great responsi¬ 
bility and danger, requiring a keen intellect and 
a brave heart, such as IIA imv possessed. At any 
other time such a separation must have been 
painful; but 1 think it was a relief to them both, 
though both must have known that it might be J 
forever. But I do not think cit 
this. 
Shortly after this I saw Ethbx.

I displaced a book In my library—an envel¬

dainty, white, scented envelope, that reminded 
one of fallen snowflake* or crashed flowers. I 
picked it up and sat down by the window. There 
were only a couple of cards, wedding cards, in 
it; but they told me such a sad story of a 
wrecked life. Back to the halls of the Past,

Her manner 
was as quiet and stately as usual; but- her eyes 
had a deep, far-away look in them, as If search¬ 
ing for something they could not lind ; and her 
voice, which was always soil and low, had a 
sound in it that thrilled you. ller physicians 
said she was going Into a decline which bullied 
their skill. 1 do not think, besides myself and 
the servants, there was one ont of the family 
who knew what ailed her. The servants were all 
old ones; indeed, I never saw a better appointed 
household. It is a peculiarity of these old 
Scotch families Unit they retain in their service 
the fen)i lies of their servants. 'The Grey ser¬ 
vants had been in the. family since time imme¬ 
morial. From parent to child, they would have 
died before they would have told. It was about 
thtrf time that Ethel's aunt decided upon taking 
her to Europe for her health, the complicated 
state of ILaury’b business affairs being the ex¬ 
cuse given for his not accompanying her. I 
think, now that she had attained her object, and 
wiped out the imaginary blot npon the family 
honor by bringing misery upon the Burns, she 
would have made her happy if she could. Just 
before they started Ethel wrote to Harry. The 
letter was misunderstood and a brief reply sent. 
Then they started. I have but little more to 
write. They went on the ill fated-, and 
were lost at sea. 
Poor, poor Ethel!— the dark sea is thy resting 
r luminous depth. 
That glittering face so 
” haunts me now like a dream of 
angels. Ami the other, a frank, manly face, with 
clusters ol' chestnut curls above a broad, white 
brow; mirthful, boyish eyes; the mouth carved 
haughtily; and upon the finely cut lips an ex¬ 
pression of rigid determination and self- will, 
each face the index of the noble soul within; 
and yet both were very, very proud in their re¬ 
pose. O pride! pride! i’rido was the rock 
upon which both of those lives were wrecked ! 
They were residents of the same city, both 
wealthy, and moved in the same circles ; so, of 
course, they were acquainted before they met 
that summer at Nkttjk B-But there they 
met iu daily intercourse; and in those long, 
bright summer days, filled with music, and 
drives, and plc-nlea and (titrations, they learned 
to love each other. They were a gay party of city 
fashionables who met there—young, unclouded 
hearts, who had as yet looked only upon life’s 
■nnny side,—and from morning until night 
Nettie B-’s beautiftil home rang with merry 
voices from happy hearts. And so the golden 
summer days lloalcd by and brought unto two 
hearts at least the first unfolding of their destiny. 
The summer came to a close, and still the gay 
party lingered. October came, and still they 
were dreaming in the violet and golden light. 
But at last active preparations wen- made lor a 
general breaking up and regreful leave-taking. 
It was a glorious evening, the lust week of 
their stay. The programme for the evening had 
been a boating excursion; but for some cause it 
usual clear, even voice; but, her face was ns 
white as the face of the dead. But, whatever 
the struggle was, there was no trace of it when 
she Ciunc down the next morning. She did not, 
however, announce Ethel’s marriage; but in a 
few dayij Die cards came out, and great prepara¬ 
tions w<*re made for the reception. It was 
curious to watch the meeting between her aud 
Harry’s father,—such stately, old school polite¬ 
ness! But no one would have dreamed that in 
their hearts were burning the fierce fires of a 
hatred that would never go out. She was never 
cordial; but I think in her reception ol' Harry 
she approached the nearest to cordiality that I 
over saw her; and yet all the while I fancied I 
detected that strange glitter in her eyes that I 
saw there that day—an expression that I did 
not like. 
Of course, as they were wealthy and great 
favorites in society, there were a great many 
parties given in their honor; but I think they 
were both glad when it was all over and they 
went to reside in their own beautiful home, the 
most perfect picture of a home that I ever saw. 
There was everything that a passionate love of 
the beautiful could suggest, wealth buy, or a re¬ 
fined taste arrange. Aiul they were so devoted 
to each other! they must have been very happy 
for the first six months of their married life. 
But then Ethel’s aunt began to be lonely in 
her splendid home,—she could not live without 
Ethel ; and so she too came to reside with 
them. It was beautiful to see their reception of 
her, the regard they paid her wishes, the thou- 
were sand little nameless attentions to make her feel 
ling, welcome and at home, though they know that 
Lln g” those cozy, pleasant evenings at home would be 
'8 • ’ broken in upon by the presence of a third—that 
lionl- jt would never be quite the same as when they 
ic to were but two. But they never gave such 
thoughts utterance. Nothing could have been 
w ho more cordial than their reception of her, uothing 
! more tender than their regard for her, and she, 
c 118 moving about in her haughty way, was yet so 
gentle and thonghfnl, so purring and eat-liko.

Let us hope that in that last hour, when the ship 
was reeling and pitching, and her son! stood tin

black waves and Death, the proud heart uttered, 
and the Lord of Mercy heard, a prayer for pardon. 
And Harry. I never saw him but once after¬ 
ward. His face was deeply furrowed then; and 
many gray hairs rested among the chestnut 
curls. People said it was sorrow for his beauti¬ 
ful young w ife’s death ; and bo iu truth it was; 
but 1 think he would have given all that he pos¬ 
sessed if he could have recalled that one letter 
he wrote her. Ah ! that letter was read in a very 
different way now; for in Ethel’s room he had 
found her journal,— I think she must have pur¬ 
posely left it for him,— and in his private study 
a letter from her aunt, left purposely too—a bit¬ 
ter, mocking letter that awoke him at onco.
