mm. Pknlrl..!' 1 . e.criotloua
In the midst of a pleasant conversation
with his hostess, Harold Arleigh abrupt
ly paused, a sudden flush on his fine face,
a strange, startled look in his handsome
dark eyes.
What he had been about to say no one
ever knew; of his ungraciousness he was
not conscious until he saw Mrs. Golds
by's glance of politely-surprised inquiry.
"Pardon me," he said, turning toward
her with a winning and apologetic smile;
"I saw a lady among your guests just
now so like a dear friend I knew and lost
long ago, that the resemblance quite ex
cited me."
"Ah, you mean the young lady in
white silk and opal ornaments, with
curly yellow hair and cheeks like peach
blossoms. She is very beautiful -there
is none like her. She is Ermengarde
Burroughs, a dear friend, who is staying
with me for a few weeks. Shall I intro
duce you?" returned the lady.
"If you wish if you will be so kind
as to honor me," faltered the young man,
visibly embarrassed.
His hostess gave him one keen but
covert look.
"Ermengarde has made another con
quest." she thought. "If I dared I
should warn him I should tell him that
this fair woman, with her alluring, smil
ing eyes, her sweet voice and exquisite
grace, has no heart to be won."
"Five minutes later her two friends
were whirling througn a waltz together,
and she wondered somewhat why Harold
had grown so pale, and why Ermengarde
seemed so haughty and cola.
"One would think they were lovers
who had quarreled," was her mental
criticirm.
She was not wrong, for years before
those two had loved each other dearly.
They had been betrothed, and the mar
riage day faxed, when the trial came that
parted them. Harold Arleigh suddenly
found himself fatherless and utterly pen
niless; but idleness and luxury had not
spoiled his high and noble spirit. He
could cheerfully accept years of toil and
study and struggling, but he felt that he
could not happily and conscientiously
wed his wealthy Ermengarde until he
might regain his worldly equality with
her.
"The world says unpleasant things of
poor men who marry rich women, he
had told her.
"Whv should we care for what the
world has said or may say," the girl re
turned impatiently. "All I have, be
longs to you, Harold dear. Do not leave
me."
Even in that trying moment, with her
dear hands clinging upon his arm, her
pleading eyes upon him, he never wavered.
"I must, my darling," he had answered
her firmly, though his heart was heavy
with regret and pain. And remember
though I leave you free I shall remain
loyal to you in heart and deed as the
only woman I can ever make my wife. I
am not selfish enough to ask you to wait
lor me a few years, my iirmengarde,
What the girl replied she could never
distinctly remember, but she knew her
words were cruelly reproachful, for she
was mad with the agony of losing him for
even a few brief years.
And he left her with a loos on his
white beloved face she would never for
get until her dying day.
Bhe felt that he had wronged ner gen
erous anection, insulted her womanly
pride and left her with pitiless indiffer
ence to be scorned and mocked as a bride
deserted by her bridegroom. She had
heard of sweethearts who had waited for
lovers who had never come; of women
who had wasted the best years of their
lives upon loves that were false; and her
whole soul cried out in utter, unforgiv
ing anger against him. Neither pardon
nor trust would she give him. And yet
she accepted that freedom he had given
her with a sort of defiant misery which
all women feel when sloves of a love that
neither time, nor anguish nor humilia
tion, nor inhuman cruelty even can ever
lessen.
And that night at Mrs. Goldsby's
soiree they had met again met alter
long years as strangers.
And during those years larold Ar
leigh had won that for which he had
toiled so faithfully. He had won an
honorable position among the most hon
orable of men; he was esteemed as one
of the most brilliant members of the le
gal fraternity; and by travel and study
he had acquired that elegance and dig
nity of manner mat commands the nom-
age of society. If Harold Arleigh chose
to wed an heiress, the world could not
say he married for money and social dis
tinction, nor would he feel that he would
barter the noble independence of his
.nan hood by such a union.
But for him the wide world held but
one woman, sweet and dear, and she, it
seemed, was no longer attainable.
Is this the Ermengarde 1 have loved
all my life?" he asked himself, as he
gazed upon her fair, passionless face; the
Krmengarde in whose anections and
faithfulness I trusted despite her un
reasonable anger against me?"
And he sighed heavily as he led her to
a seat after the waltz was over.
"I did not think to meet you here," he
faltered, as the gay groups swept by,
leaving them alone.
"We meet many people unexpectedly,
Mr. Arleigh," she answered in a cold,
serene voice.
Her cool tranquility almost maddened
him. The years that had passed, seemed
to him but -the dreary dream of an hour,
and their sorrowful parting but of yes-

before him, pale as death.
Her lips moved with a little gasp, but
what she meant to say she tjid not utter,
for at that moment a gentleman came to
her side, and with a word of apology to
Harold, claimed her for the next dance.
And just then his hostess touched his
arm with her fan.
"My husband is asking for you, Mr.
Arleigh," she said, adding lightly, "Did
you not find my dear Ermengarde charm
ing ? She is a lovely creature. Just the
least bit of a coquette, perhaps. I be
lieve she is engaged to the gentleman
who is dancing the German with her."
Harold Arleigh despised gossip and
regarded all rumors as unreliable, but in
his present mood of suspense the words
of his hostess grieved him as the most
bitter nroven truth could do.
Ermengarde had pleged himself to an
other, and this was the end of his dreams
and hopes. All that was left for him to
do was to bravely bear his disappoint
ment. But how could he meet her day
after day and look upon her fair, dear
face, listen to her sweet, beloved voice,
and not betray the pain of his cruel loss?
Many things puzzled Harold during
the weeks that followed. Often he found
her regarding him with a singularly
thoughtful, half resentful look in ber
earnest blue eyes. Once coming into
the unlighted parlor at twilight, he saw
her sitting before the piano, her golden
head bowed low, her lovely form shaking
with silent sobs. And once, when they
were quite alone, she spoke kindly and
gently of the evening they met.
"You asked me a question that night,"
she said, with quiet dignity and a deli
cate reluctance of manner; "it was"
scarcely my fault that it was not answer
ed then."
"I know what you would have said,
Miss Burroughs," he returned, gravely;
"I am sorry for having so startled and
offended you. I was wrong and incon
siderate, and I can only acknowledge my
fault and ask pardon for it."
She regarded him for one instant with
shy wonder, and then turned away
haughtily, her fair face scarlet, and an
unmistakable expression of scorn and re
sentment in her blue beautiful eyes.
"I fear I am hopelessly stupid," re
sumed Arleigh, in pained, perplexed
tones. "I am sure I have displeased you
again, but I cannot conjecture how. O,
Ermengarde, will you never understand
that I would not willingly give you one
moment of disquiet?"
"I do not profess to understand you
at all," she answered, as she left hira.
"She denies me even her friendship,"
he thought sorrowfully.
A long time after she had gone he stood
by the parlor window, gazing out into
the night a black, dreary night, with
the rain drifting over the roofs in sheets,
and the wild wind roaring up from the,
river.
"Just the evening for a cosy chat be
fore a comfortable fire," observed Mrs
Goldsby, coming in, and after ringing for
lights, drawing the heavy curtains with
a little shiver. "I thought Ermengarde
was with you, Harold you are not go
ing? Mr. Goldsby wished to show you
those curious things sent him to-day.
The dear fellow has a passion for odd and
antique relics, and his study is quite an
interesting museum, 1 assure you. Alan,
do bring Miss Burroughs," concluded
the vivacious little lady.
Presently Ermengarde came a slim,
elegant figure, dressed simply in black
silk, with a cluster of white roses on her
bosom.
"Here is something you would like,
Miss Burroughs," observed Mr. Goldsby
taking from his box of relics a curious
necklace of gold with a pendant of exqui
site pearls.
"If I could only know the history of
all these things," murmured the girl, as
she glanced ouer them a tiny grotesque
bronze statuette, a few coins centuries
old, a cup of silver fantastically carved,
and among them a small toy pistol with
a jeweled stock. "This, at least, is not
so very ancient," she pursued, taking up
the diminutive weapon.
"Be careful, dear; it may not be
harmless," remarked her hostess.
The wise injunction came too late. As
Ermengarde turned it about scrutiniz
ingly, there was a sharp click and a re
port. The dangerous toy dropped at her
feet, and she flung up her shivering
hands with a little cry of fright and pain.
"O, what have you done?" cried
Harold, as he saw the red blood trickling
over her soft neck and staining the white
roses on her bosom.
"It is nothing," gasped the girl, and
then tottered back upon the sofa, pale
and unconscious.
"She has only fainted," said Arleigh,
as he bent over her. "There is no cause
for alarm. The ball merely cut the ten
der flesh,"
But the host had gone, evidently to
send for a physician, and his frightened
wife had followed him aimlessly into the
hall.
"O, my love, my love," moaned Har
old. "I had almost rather see yon lying
before me dead than to know that you
will live to be the wife of another."
It would seem that she heard his voice
and understood his words even in her
unconsciousness, for she suddenly
opened her eyes and smiled 'like a little
child awakening from a dream.
"What were you saying, Harold ?"
she asked, faintly, regarding hinPwith a
wondering look.
"That it is agony to give you up to
another, my darling," he rejoined,
slowly.
Her pain and fright were all gone now.
She arose before him proudly, her pale
cheeks growing rosy.
"Harold," she said, gravely, "if I am
not your wife I shall never be the wife of
another. You have wronged my love
and fidelity if you have ever thought
differently."
The spell of the sweet old love dream
was upon them. There was no need of
explanations, for heart spoke to heart
and understood each other; all anger was
forgiven and all mistakes forgotten. ,
"I suooose onlv for mv stupid feci-
Atmt Tse- should never have .been recon-:
ciled," smiled Emengarde, "ly and bg
"and I should have been as angry with
yon all my life as I had been for years."
"Those years of our lost happiness
have not been lived in vain," he answered
seriously. "Our love is tried and true,
and your husband will be you honor and
supporter, instead of a pensioner on your
bounty."
Lovely, happy Ermengarde was in
clined to contest the practical part of her
lover's argument, but, thinking of his
great, manly love so "tried and true,"
she, with true womanly sentiment, began
to believe in his wisdom.
"After all," she confessed to Mrs.
Goldsby, "I think I should despise a
husband who would be what my dear
Harold would have been if I, in my silly
fondness, could have made him so. I
loved him then; now I adore and honor
him."
"And we shall send you that enchanted
pistol for a bridal present," Mr. Goldsby
assured her, laughingly.
Prince Alfred.
The scene is purely sylvan and Eng
glish, and in the autumn season espec
iaUy is deliciously peaceful. While the
sunlight brings a hundred hues to the
planes and beeches, there comes a merry
procession from the labyrinth of closely
cropped evergreens. In advance runs a
great, plump, handsome 5-year-old boy,
laughing merrily, and not caring an atom
for the cold, which has brought the color
t i his cheeks as he runs by the side of
his pet dog, a fine black retriever, the
gift of a faithful retainer, whose loyalty
is only exceeded by his want of imagina
tion in naming the animal "Prince."
Little Prince Alfred is greatly in love
with his curly pet, and the dog canters
along with bounding step, and head
turned in invitation to a game of romps.
Next comes a blue velvet perambulator,
in which reclines the baby Princess, at
whose side toddles an elderly sister,
highly amused as "baby" crows to a
white Maltese, who rolls along like the
snowball he is named after. Little
Princess Marie is shaking her curls at
her fair young mother, the Duchess of
Edinburgh, who, dressed in a suit of
blue serge of the same hue as that worn
by her children, is walking by the side
of baby's perambulator. In another
moment the watchful eye of the head
nurse has detected .frince Alfred in a
wild attempt to climb a plane tree, and
recalls the high-spirited boy with a
single word. All the Duchess' children
have bright blue eyes, and are as free
from shyness or any symptoms of "cod
dling ' as the sternest of infantile discip
linarians could desire. They turn their
beautiful eyes with a frank, fearless look
upon their new acquaintance, and are on
cordial terms at once, 'lhe morning
promenade with their mother is a happy
time for the children who are accustomed
to go with her to Russia, to Germany, to
Cannes, or wherever her temporary
place of sojourn may be.
At this early hour the Duke of Edin
burgh is mostly to be found reading or
writing in his own morning-room a
snug apartment, which, like all tbe oth
ers in the house, is comfortably, not lux
uriously furnished. Deformed as it is
by exterior hideousness, Eastwell sup
plies an excellent instance in favor of
those practical people who insist that
houses were not made to looked at, but
to be lived in. The rooms are well dis
posed for the purpose of circulation, and
those in use every day are on the ground
floor. Dining-room, music-room, draw
ing room, morning-rooms and boudonir
are all on a level, and are therefore de
liciously convenient and comfortable,
full of air and light. Two other apart
ments on tha first floor are of especial
interest to the select circle of visiting at
Eastwell. These are the day and night
nursuries, absolute models of what such
apartments shonld be. To begin with,
they are of immense size, perfectly
lighted and ventilated, furnished with
light maple and cane furniture, and com
pletely free from the stuffiness of deep
carpets and rugs. In a corner of the
day-nursery is a military tent, a pres
ent from his father to Prince ' Alfred,
and is treasured accordingly. It
is a spartan Kind of an eounce,
made of gray striped material,
with a plain deal table and a stool the
kind of tent that der alte Fritz, who did
not like dandy officers, loved to see his
own ensconced in. Before a brightly
burning fire is one of the good old-fashioned
brass fire-guards several feet high,
and to the left of this the cots of the four
youngest children are? arranged. The
two youngest, tired with the morning's
promenade, are fast asleep ; but the little
Prince is obviously already outgrowing
the idea of going to bed at midday, for
he is laughing merrily at the joke of be
ing tucked up again after his glorious
run with black "Prince." Little Prin
rcess Marie, with her shower of fair hair
spread over the pillows, and her great
blue eyes half open, is a delightful sub
ject for a painter a tiny sleeping beauty
in the prettiest of woodlands, This mid
day rest is part of the regular program at
Eastwell, and appears to be successful if
one may judge by present results, for
finer and heavier children of their age
taan little Prince Alfred and his sisters
could hardly be found.
At midday the Duke of .Edinburg has
got through with his serious reading, and
perhaps some practicing for the family
musical party of the evening and is ready
for a drive round the park, which is beau
tiful and spacious enongh to afford ample
scope for any kind of out-door entertain
ment, in the afternoon mends arrive
from the country side, from London, Pa
ris and St. Petersburg. Like the major
ity of those who prefer a small circle of
friends to the crowd anil noise of large
assemblies, England's Sailor Prince is
thoroughly appreciated by those who
know him. He is emphatically what is
called a quiet man cheerful rather than
joyous, pleasant rather than sparkling.
Thoroughly German in his taste for mu
sic and serious studies, he is completely
English in his domestic life. No Lian is
more nleased with the perfect working of
his establishment, from Che metropolitan
recon-Ainspeetor, who, with a brace of consta
bles, keeps watch and ward at Eastweil,

to the clerk who attends his private tele
graph office. Old habits of discipline
picked up on the Galatea, and confirmed
by recent experience afloat, cannot well
be shaken off, though the sportive humor
of early days may have died out. Like
his brother, the Prince of Wales, he likes
good things in reasonable quantity, and
is a steady opponent of the German cus
tom of turning dinner into a wearisome
ceremony, protracted beyond all reason
able limit by a cumbrous menu. At the
little dinner at Eastwell there is no be
wildering number of dishes, but a good
straightforward bill of fare, that may be
eaten through with perfect enjoyment.
Bare things, however, appear at these
modest banquets dishes, the mere men
tion of which sets the gourmand agog
wild boar from the forests in which Ar
niinius brought the Bomans to naught,
and sterlet from the more distant Volga.
The sterlet, which is to the sturgeon as a
smelt is to a whiting, arrives on some
lucky day at Eastwell packed on ice.
The eating of him is a species of celebra
tion, and very good indeed he is when,
"accommodated" after the genuine Rus
sian fashion. As a rule, music follows
dinner at Eastwell ; but at times, on the
days, for instance, when the Revue ' des
Deux Mondes arrives the Duchess of
Edinbnrg, who reads a great deal in sev
eral languages, will retire to her boudoir
to learn the last vord of the French au
thors, whom she knows as thoroughly as
the Russian poets and novelists, whose
works are to be found wherever she is.
There are no late hours at Eastwell ; the
life in whieh is simply that of the young
parents of an interesting family, who find
fair quiet and sweet rest among the Kent
ish woodlands.
Pathetic Scene in a London Charity.
With the temperature again below
freezing point, and in an atmosphere of
chilling mist, that struck to the heart
even of the warmly clad, and must have
been bitterly felt by the bare-footed,
miserably covered men, women and
children who recently cratheredogetber
from the poorest courts and alleys in and
around Steppey, a sight never to be for
gotten was presented to a few kind and
helpful spectators in Conder street,
Salmon's lane, and drew tears from not
a few of those eyes that looked upon it.
Liberal as was the dole of warm and
savory food on which 600 starving
creatures were rendered less deplorably
wretched by kind hands at the London
Cottage Mission, it was pitious to observe
how many scores and hundreds, in the
desolate street outside, had to turn
mournfully from the entrance at which
many of them had waited from 12:30
until nearly 3.
A chatitable lady, Miss Napton,
whose smiling hopeful face seemed to
cheer many of the most dispirited among
the guests, as she moved quickly to and
fro, was the chief assistant of Mr. Austin
in the distribution of food. Those who
partook thereof were all expected to bring
their own knives, forks and plates, or
basins ; and it was pitably strange to see
what kind of table furniture served as an
apology for such civilized appliances.
Cracked and broken earthenware, no two
pieces alike, battered leaden spoons,
knives without handles, forks with
scarcely a prong, anything in fact, that
would serve to hold a victual, and to
carry it from platter to mouth, decked
the well-scrubbed boards, ranged on
trestles with due regard to space.
The ravenous eagerness with which
the portions were clutched, after the im
patient suspense that could scarcely
endure to wait far a blessing, told its
melancholy tale. A mother cried before
she ate, because there were others not
there who would have been glad to
divide with her the smoking plateful. A
little girl, terrible hungry, refused to
touch a morsel until she was well
assured to carry home another portion.
Whole families were among the crowd,
and where any member had got sepa
rated from the rest great was the lamen
tation. An excitement natural enough
with unaccustomed visitors actually
spread to the servers of the feast, and for
a time both Miss Napton and Mr. Austin
were overcome by visible emotion.
Grave city men had a difficulty in main
taining their usual demeanor : and one of
them, after struggling from a painfulbr
agitated condition to comparative poP
ness, said, with a subdued and earnest .

religion." Practical, indeed, even to
small details, was the lesson of the
day.
