with tHe fanfai t ibie in Na center,

Jiut the girl Stood entranced, her
eyes fixed a man's face, even
when wearing, as it now did, an ex

His eyes shone with a strange iind

And so it was. He s.t down pot"
sessed of a fortune ; he arose a bog
gar! Kate had steadiiy poitoed him
with mceking hopclssonoss, until to
had placed his stake, only to see it
mercilessly swept from him.
He half arose from the table. What
more was to bo done, save to go out
somewhere in the still nignt air and
send a bullet through his heart or
brain.
It was at this moment the girl, with
Hushing cheeks and half-parted lips,
darted up to his side.
'Take this," she pleaded, for
my sake," and pressed a gold piece
into his hand.
He turned. To his excite i imag
ination she seemed scarcely mortal
in her pure child like loveliness. lli.
first impulse was to return her offer

but again rang out the croupier's cry
of command to place the stakes,
Tho child Stood breathles n l,, r

should be his li'e sear, h, but that the
lesscn taugtd him should never be
forgotten, and the gaming-tables
shouhl know hi r never more.
Six years past, and Harold Clayton
was winning name anil lame in hi
own land, in his profe sion a-i rin ar
tist.
Stanliug one night in a crowded
assembly, some one in passing touched
him lightly on the arm with her fan,
and glancing around be met the
smiling face of his host ess.
"Come," she said, "i want to pre
sent you to my lelle. If you can
prevail un her to give you a sitting
and transform her coloring to canvas
you will render yourself immortal,"
"Is she, then, so beautiful ?" bs
jue-dioned.
"Judge for yourself," she lightly
rejoined, leading him to the little
group doing homage Id the fair girl
in the center.
"Aliss iliybtirn, Mr. flay ton,"
were the formal words of introduc
tion, as Harold bowed iu acknowl
edgment before the woman whom
his artistic eye confessed the most
beautiful that in all his wandering-
he had ever met.
Before tbe evening was ended be
might have added, the first woman
he ever loved, since s' e had awak
ened in him an interest as new as it
was strange.
Through the next week her face
haunted him. Then tbey met again
and the charm grew and deepened.
He could not define it ; he scarcely
acknowledged it to himself ; only
away from Miss Keyburn he was
restless and uneasy, until he again
found himself within the scope of her
fascinations.
Yet her nature remained an enig
ma to him. Although ho young in
years,so beautiful in form and feature,
she seemed cold even to haughtiness,
reticent almost to seem.
It was as though some exquisite
marble statue had arisen in his path
way, which might some day warm
into life.
She welcomed him whenever they
met with a manner which, while It
gave him no cause for complaint, yet
crimed me nope sprint'itu' in nis
breast.
One day, on going to her homo the
servant met him at the door with the
announcement that she was very ill.
This knowledge hroughlother knowl
edge the fact that he could no longer
conceal from himself that he loved
her, and that upon his hope of win
ning her hung his life's happiness.
He went back to hisstudio, wretch
ed and despairing, and seated him
self at his easel. He had not meant
to paint her face his brain seemed
unconscious of his fingers toil yet
when the morning broke, it was her
toatures Stattiag Upon bin bom the
canvas, and he remembered the
words his hasten id uttered on tin-
night he Hist had met her that
thus he Should tender blmsels Immor
tal. He grew pale and wan iu the days
of anxious suspense, when those who
were, wretch lew, over her couch knew
not which would conquer, the angel
Of life or death. Bui there cairn an
hour, never b be forgotten, w hen he
was Admitted bit her presence.
Klu was very white, very KragUe,
but more beautiful than tho coloring
of pel feet be dlh. A new expression,
too, was iu the vtolel eyes raised to
welcome him.

she said gently. "I hearyeahaVe

Then tfie wonls ,e had not meant

by Idoi .1 child, holding out a single
gold piece, with a smile in her eyes,
and seemingly a prayer on her lips.
'You would know the story of
that picture," he said." Let me tell
you. Years ago I was In Hamburg,
rhe gaming tables attracted me, and
every night found me beside them,
losing or winning, according to the
fortune of the hour. One evening
the demon ill-luck pursued me. I
lost aud lost till I found I was beg
gared. Maddened, desperate, I re
solved to put an end to my miserable
life, when some one touched my
shoulder ; a child angel stood before
me and slipped into my hand a piece
of gold. Kor my sake,' she whis
pered. The croupier's hoarse call
warned me no time was to be lost. 1
staked the gold and won, but turning
to give back her own she had fled.
When I rose from tho tables I bad
recovered all and more, but I vowed
to my unknown deliverer that I
would never again hazzard a dollar
of the fortune I considered hers. I
have never found her, Margaret. The
child will never know her work, but.
I am not afraid to meet her, for 1
have kept my pledge."
