I was alone and friendless, with the exception of my brother Willis, and he was far away when Miss Lestrange took me to her home-- took me weeping from my dead mother's arms, and soothed me with 9 | gentle words. All my early life I bad been a pétted child. and I shrank from coldness us sensitive natures will ever do, but in my first wild sorrow for my mother's death, Mildred Lestrange was so thoughtfully tender to me that my lonely Weart turned to her giving her love for love. In all my life I had never scen a woman as beautiful as Mildred. What though some sorrow lay in the depth of her blue eyes, were they less deeply, darkly blue, and were not her features perfect from the lowbrow, with its halo of golden hair, to the daintly rounded chin? Oneevening Mildred and I were sitting together in the twilight, that strange, wierd hour between day- light and darkness, she gazing with weary, wistful eyes over the shad- owy- green ficlds, and I with my eyos fixed dreamily on her face, was thinking of my brother Willis-- Unusually Low Rates of na Willis who, a year before, had been iss Lestrange's guest, who had vome down, his heart filled with love for his sister, and no woman save the memory of our mother, holding a higher placeiin it, and had gone away loving Mildred Lestrange --Iloving her but knowing his love was vain. I thought of the day he kissed me fa.ewell, and for the sake of Mildred he was going abroad again. 'Oh, Willis!' I had cried, ¢ why will she not be your wife? Does she not know it will break my heart for yon to go forth a wanderer? Oh! Willis' you will not go?' He smiled. Little sister,' hesaid, 'better men '| have done that before, and for wo men less fair than she, but I, Clare, have gone abroad before, what bet- ter could I do than to go again, where, amid other scenes, may hope to overcome my love for Mildred ? Goodby, Clare," he said folding me in his arms, 'and love Mildred as you have always done.' 'Clare, little one," Mildred wil turning from the window, 'what are youdreuming of ?' 'I--I was thinking of Willis." I answered ; then after a moment's silence; 'Ob Mildied, Mildred, why could you not love him ?' A shadow fell over the beautiful face and her sweet blue eyes grew sadder. 'Clare,' she said gravely, 'I must tell you the story of my past life, then judge if my heart is one to be given in return for the first loyal love of Willis Stanton, 'When a child of six I went to live with my uncle Charles, my father's only brother. I was left lonier even than you and I in my childhood, | Clare, for I had not even a brother, and I got no share of my uncle's heart for all the love he had was lavished on my cousin Ralph, my uncle's only cbild. Love was no name for the passionate love his father gave bim--it was little short of adoration. To me my uncle was always kind, but he had no love to spare--it was all to Ralph. 'Ralph and I grew! up like brother and sister; but like very quarrel- some ones, for he was a haughty, im- perious boy, and having no one elo |! to lord it over be' generally spent his témper on ime, and I beiog sel- dom submissive, a day never passed | that something disagreeable did not occur. Still we played together and liked each uther ini' a certain way. | 'About four miles from us lived Dr. Carlyle, my uncle's tamily phy- lar. He wasa handsome boy, as sician, and his son Deane spentmost of his time with Ralph and me ; in fact being our constant companion and even then I liked Dean much better than my cousin. Ife was the complete opposite to Ralph, I.bo- ing gentle and courteous in his manner to girls but to me in particu- well, though not so handsome as Ralph. 'When I was twelve years old my uncle sent me to a fashionable board- ing school, aud Ralph went to col- lege at the same time, because Deane Carlyle was going and they might as well enter it together. 'Six years passed and then I re- turned to my uncle's. 'Ralph had been home the year before, but had gone to travel, and Deane Carlyle, was studying law in London but when he heard that I was at home he came to see me, and spent a month at bis father's resting himself he said. x 'One evening he came to me grave and earnest,and asked me in implor- ing tones to be his wife. ' 'My darling,' he said, with the old fender smile I liked so well, 'can you give mo your love and wait till I am able toclaim you? It may be many years, dear, though I will work hard for your sake.' 'He was the Deane of old, and my heart went out to him with a thrill of joy. 'He loved me--that was enough.-- [t may have been his old love for the child deepened, or another may i have sprung up in his heart for the slender gir! of eighteen : but he lov~ ed me and I was content, . ""You love me, Mildred ?' ho said and, reading the answer in my face, he folded me in hisarms. 'You will wait for me, Mildred ? he added.-- Then kissing my lips he bade me farewell, and went back to his life of toil. * Six months later Ralph came home; handsomer, statlier, more im perious than ever, and forgetful of our childhoods battles we became the best of friends. 'Best ot friends? Oh, Clare I must have been blind not to sce that he was learning to love mo-- me, whoso every pulse thrilled for Deane Carlyle. God knows I never suspected the truth till one fair Juno evening standing among the flowers he told me his love. Pained beyond measure I tried to stop him but he would not listen.' . + 'Mildred, my darling, you love me I" he cried : your heart is mine !' «I cannottell you that, Ralph,' 1 answered, 'for save as a sister----' 'A sister ? Oh girl! do you love and why will you mock me with that expression ? [I asked for} corn and you offer me the husk / Think you, Mildred I will accept it?' 'His face was flushed, his eyes flashing, the blood of his Spanish mother leaping in his veins, and I shrank back pale and trembling. 'He laughed mockingly. "You are pale,' be said, 'and you shrink from me now, but I tell you Mildred, you will yet be my wife.-- Do you hear, Mildred--my wife ?' "And then he held me in his arms, and kissing me passionately murmuredy: 'Darling, darling I' 'Mad with shame and horror, I struggled to release myself. ¢ 'Deane, Deane! I cried in my terror. ¢'Tam here, Mildred,' said the voice of my lover as Ralph loose his hold. 'With a glad ery I sprang to him, and the sight must have maddened Ralph. "So this is your lover, Mildred,' he said; and then he raised his hand and struck Deane accross the face. 'Deane was by far the stronger of the two men, and my heart stood still a8 he put me gently aside, his face colorless and his eyes blazing. 'Coward I" ho said facing Ralph. ¢ Deane, Deane!" Tcried wildly 'do not strike him it you love me.-- Ralph, for God's sake--' 'IT heard Ralph say 'Scoundrel!' and the next moment they had closed in a deadly grip. "Oh, the anguish and fright of that moment, as pale and trembling 1 sank on my knees, a wild shriek ringing from my lips. 3 'I saw Ralph dashed to the ground and lie there motionless, saw Deane bend over him, and then 1 sank seusoluss on the ground as hurrying footsteps told me that my shrieks | had reached the house.' 'When I came to my senses again Ralph was dead, and the man I loved 'was a wander on the face ot the earth. ¢ Yes, Ralph was dead-end in tell 'tell me me ;many months, we knew little of each | over her. stain oozing through his chestnut curls. When Deane had dashed him to ground his head bad struck the root of a tree, and when they raised him up he was almost unconscious, 'He only spoke once after they had carried him into the house. 'It was all my fault,' be said. *T --1I loved Mildred, and she-- and she ----' and then he had fallen back dead. 'I never looked on the face of Deane Carlyle again, for 1 could not wed the.man who had taken the life of Ralph--even though it was his own fault--and so it was better we should not meet again. 'Without a word of farewell he went abroad and those who saw him before he left could scarcely tell the Deane Carlyle of old. 'Clare, little friend, is my heart-- that has known what it is to love and suffer--one that you would wish your brother to win ?' 'Miss Lestrange, a gentleman down stairs,' said a servant, opening the door. 'Looks like you, Miss Clare,' he added 'It is Willis, Mil- dred,' I'said; and then we went down together, and in a few mo- ments I was folded in my brother's arms, After kissing me tenderly ho re- leased me and turned to Mildred. 'Miss Lestrange,' he said, 'I am the bearer of a message to you from adying man. On my travels, al- most a year ago, I became acquaint. ed with a man who, somchow at- tracted my sympathy, but why I could not tell. We becamo friends, but not confidents, tor ho was strangely reserved about himself, and, though we were together for other--at least I knew littie of him. One night he met with an accident and was carried homo fatal injured, | and the next morning he was raging | in brain fover, und --and, Mildred be | raved of you. I stayed with him and did all I could, but he was.doom- ed to die. The night of his death' the fever left him and the light of reason returned to his eyes. 'Willis,' be said, 'when I am dead will you seek Mildred Lestrange and tell her--tell her Deane Carlyle is dead, and ask her to give one tear to my memory, for I Lave loved ! her to the last? Tell her I have looked on her face when she never dreamed I was near. Mildred--Mil- | dred I" he cried, holding out his | hands as if vou were near him, as if | he saw you. They were his last] words. He gave one woary sigh | and sank back dead, your name lingering on Lis lips.' White as death grew Mildred's face as memories of the past swept She turned to me. 'Clare,' she said piteously, 'I may bury my past; the last link is brok- en? Without another word she left the room, and then Willis turning to me said: 'Clare, Clare, think how she is suffering. Did you see how white her face was ?--and I could give my life for her happiness.' 'Willis,' I said, lying my hand on his arm, 'did she not suy that the last link to the past was broken?' is faco grew pale, and his oyes met mine with on eager, questioning t ook. 'Clare, do you mean there is no hope for me--don you mean she can ever love me ?' 'Ever love you, Willis? She loves you now, but she is unconscious of it- She loved Deane Carlyle with a girl's passionate, romantic fervor, but her woman's heart is yours.-- Willis, you would not refuse one hour's sorrow to the memory of Deane Carlyle, and the memory of the love he gave her ?' 'No,' he said; 'and in future, it I can teach her to forget her early love and sorrow, I will be content.' Years have passed since then and Mildred is my sister, happy and be loved, as well as loving; and it is seldom a shadow crosses her beauti- ful face ; but if ever it does I know that the voice of Willis, speaking tenderly to her, can bannish it as quickly as it came, for 1 know that Mildred is very happy in the loyal love of her husband ------------ Lessons in Elocution.
