SCIIE MORNING ASTOMAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, AUGUST 4. 190O. OUT of THE SHADOWS By Finnic Hea&lip Lea lu tiro b'cutli' cunvut of Mis Sarah's life by far the wildest cddlos wen? Pnola's love affairs. Miss Sarah hail never had a lover herself she had al ways been too busy taklug care of Paola, who was the younger sister, a slim, pale creature, with vlvUl eyes aud a head that habitually drooped a little as though weighted by Its owu gold hair and a sense of languorous melancholy. Beside Miss Sarah's old time cour tesies Paola was as an orchid to a pansy, but underneath the melancholy was a certalu irresponsible deviltry, a certain lutangible witchery, that brought the most eligible youths of the neighborhood in suppliance to her feet and filled Miss Sarah with uncedslag wonder and amazement Whenever a new rlctiai appeared upon the scene Miss Sarah thrilled with apprehension. As be was friend ly, the approved of him; as he was more conspicuously attentive, she watched for him; then la geutle per plexity that never vanished with add ed experience she saw him hover, ad vance, retreat, hover again and plunge. When the little comedy wag played out she took up her knitting with a sigh of relief, opened her volume of Felicia Hemans at the purple book mark and prepared to rest before an other siege. Paola herself slipped from one emo tional cataclysm to another, as the Blender moon from cloud to cloud. They veiled her vivid calm for a mo ment, but she always emerged un fettered on the other side. She had been wearing Francis Lock trood'a roses for a month, when Miss Sarah one night, after three gentle calls unanswered, stepped through the long French window on to the moonlit ve randa with a crimson scarf in her hand. The June night called for no such guard against Its close, sweet warmth, but oa the subject of damp and dew Miss Sarah was Inflexible. "Paola," she said anxiously, then, elnce there was no Paola in all the BABAH SBEW BACK VSTO THE BRACE OF THE OKEAT OAK. shadow dapplel length of the veranda, raised her voice a little and called again, "Paola, dear!" A mocking bird In the cedar by the gate gurgled a liquid impertinence that ended in a low call to his mate, but the rest was silence. Miss Saraa looked across the lawn, then dovrn at her feet "Paola must have this scarf," she said to benwlf sternly, "and I suppose she is sitting on the bench by the Black Prince the most imprudent child!" That the Black Prince was a beloved rosebush saved Miss Sarah's remarks from their apparent Impro priety, aud, mindful of her steps, she hurried Into the path that led to the Black Prince's domains across the lawn. The moon burned white above her in a cloudless sky, and Miss Sarah re sponded delicately to the Influence of the hour. A faint fragrant dream, with boyish eyes, called to her as she went slowly down the path, and young faces swam mistily in her memory as If they had drifted there with the smell of the box in the hedge. She thought of the uisht her mother died, Another June; of a flowered gown she hhil worn the day she was sixteen, of a yom, something about daffodils, or was it roses? "'The love that came with the daf fodil); aud went away with the roses' that (vas it," said Miss Sarah, with a littlB sigh of satisfaction, "only the flaffjdils come back with the spring and every summer there are roses, so I really don't nee the sense of that. Those Ion songs are nearly always rather silly." She stopped to thrust back the daring sweetness of a yellow banksia. "The garden is very sweet tonight," sajd Miss Sarah to herself, "and God walked In the cool of the garden. I wonder was It like this." She paused m the edge of the Black Prince king dom. S'here Jt lay.Wf Jn shadow, and lifted her ye to the moou. - , , h, dear!" said MIk amh. almost Mood, "what a beautiful night It to," wWch was Mls Sarah's way of sayjni that the world was very good and ah. was happy.

"Positive ly l'.iv!!!:ij r!i ninuvtlsm, inurinmvd Miss Santu miserably. -: She was within a few feet of thera and a call trembled on her lips, when Paola s own voice stopiied her. "Go on," said laoln lu n soft, hurried whisper, and Miss Sarah by some queer instinct drew back Into Hie shade of the great oak behind the Union, fearful lest au Incautious movement would be tray her. fearful almost of her own breathing, for Miss Sarah was learned In the ways of Paola's suitors, and It was one of her lest learned lessons never to Interrupt theui. So site drew back ami waited, Inuoceut of auy de sire to eavesdrop. "Go on." said Paola again, and young Lockwood s voice came out of the deep er aiKitiow. low aud vlbraut and rhyth mic. Miss Sarah leaned closer Instinc tively o hear the words; they escaped her at first, then echoed clearer: "Remember how when first we met we stood. Stun with Immortal recollections, O fact. Immured bedd a fiery tea. That leaned down t dead midnight to U used! O beauty folded ud in forests old. Thou wast the lovely quest of Arthur's anights; Tny armour rllmmered tn a alooro of 8Tn. Did I not elng to thee In Babylon? Or did we set a sail In Carthage bay? were mine eyes strange? Did I not know tny voice? All ghostly grew the tun. unreal the air men wnen we aissed." The last word quivered sentient on the air, aud Miss Sarah trembled with a strange fear of It Her Augers found the rough bark of the tree and clung; sne waited, hungered, for the rest, but young Lockwood's voice broke from the beat of verse into uneven words: "Paola, tny beautiful. It Is our story." It Is the story of Paola and Fran cesco," saUl the girl dreamily. Paola and Francesca Paola and Francis what does it matter? 'Wert thine eyes strange? Did I not know thy voice?' ; Miss Sarah, dizzied and enwrapt by she knew not what roseate mist, saw the white grace of Paola waver and lean to the shadow and heard a few moments of magical silence, the whis per, tender, exultant: "And in the book they read no mors that t, day. i;, s , ,, Miss Sarah felt her way back to the path with unnecessary care. If her light footsteps bad been the crash of brasses they would not have reached the two by the Black Prince, but Miss Sarah did not know It. She hurried along between the roses, catching her breath in little gasps as she went, and the wraiths of lost years swarmed around her, stinging her to wild, Jndefl nlte regret. She passed through the moonlight and up tfie steps, through the open window, and caught up her neglected knitting with a pathetic de sire for thingi tangible and common place. She openeJ the volume of Fe licia Hemans at t-ie purple bookmark, but without fcnow'edge of a line. "I never knew vhat it was like!" she said pitifully to Irerself. "I wish I had known." The magic of the mionllt gar den swept over her again, and the mil sic of the bver's verse murmured la her eare. Miss Sarah trembled with n vague, unhnppj longing for the thlny that she had nsver known the thing that were the inheritance of Paola. her sister, yet had never been hers. Beyond the window the garden lay vast and wonderful beneath the moon, to her a land where life ran In stninge currents between banks of enchanted blossoms. Suddenly tnd without warning a tear slipped down Miss Sarah's cheek aud splashed u;wn the purple bookmark. Another followed It and yet another; theu Miss Sarah drew herself together and shut between the leaves of Felicia Hemans poems ier one belated vision of romance. ' And In the book they read no more that day," she said to herself, wfth a sad little sigh. Then she took up her knitting again to wait for Paola. SEASIDE ADVERTISEMENTS.
