"Oh.-my own! My Pearl !" he
'.nnniiuied.
''Pearl, what a beautiful name,
and how lovely ihi jewel it repre
sents. C)h, my ovii Peail how can
I, how can I leave you'."' Ah, il
he could know how, and why be
will leave her he could welt say
ihose words, but alas! they are
eacii loo blissfully happy in a satis
fied love to heed any premonition
of evil for the future. They linger
in the garden, sauntering up and
down the llower lined walks, mak
ing elaborate plans for the future
their future together, w hich will,
of course be all sunshine, and all
happiness, when Harry comes
home from the war wearing at
least a general's uniform.
iie tens her of his old home. Of
his father wh died in defence ol
that home. Of the sweet gentle
mother whose memery is so sacred.
"Oh. my little one, how you would
have loved my mother, and how
she would have taken you to her
loving heart. You would have
rilled that place in her affections
made desolate by the death of her
own little daughter my little
sister, whom I lost before 1 was old
enough totealize it."
How long they would have re
mained in the garden which to
ihem seemed the land of bliss, and
they the only inhabitants is hard
to say if the distant notes of a
bugle had not aroused Harry to a
knowledge of the fact that life is
real, and thai ii he Would not be
forever disgraced by being tardy at
rod call, he must tear himself
awav. With the assurance tliat
ne wili see her father this evening
after their six o'clock darner, and
receiving a promise from Pearl to
meet htm itt tlie boat hour-e at
eight for one more, and perhaps
tlie last delightful moonlight row
together upon the dear old river,
he ssindes hastily away.
CHAPTER VII.
Pearl watched the strong,athletic
form, with loving eyes, until tiio
garden gate closed behind the re
irealing figure, and i.e was lost to
:ier sight, then hastened back to
the li"U-e, where she found bteak-;a?-t.
and her father awaiting her.
She taki s her place at the table,
and aliMii ly pours fit-r lather's
cotlee into the sugar bowl, and
hen passes tlie urn of hot water to
him.
-lome, come, little girl, this
will not do,'' cried her father
laughing, "if vou did not look so
bright and rosy, I would say you
had arisen beiore you had finished
vour nap, and were still dreaming.
Vou may give me my cotlee Pearl.
I believe I prefer mocha to hot
water for breakfast. Here. Wil
liam bring another bowl of sugar,
this is completely deluged."
Pearl managed to give her father
his cotlee finally, and while
daintily nibbling her toast chat
tered gaily of every thing, but of
what she is thinking to hide her
confusion.
To-day is one of the generaPs
"home days" Pearl calls tliem
davs when his presence is not
required at the oflice. And Pearl
lingers about him all day with
loving tenderness, guiltily con
scious perhaps that he alreaay
occupied a secondary place in her
affections, and trying to Uone for
the loss by giving him more smiles,
more tender loving words than
ever.
Pearl,hov old are you, my dear?
Almost eighteen are you not?
' Yes, papa. 1 will be eighteen
next month."
"You are a young lady now, and
will be thinking of leaving the old
father some of these days I sup
pose. -My little bird will fly away
to make its own home nest, and
leave the old one lonely and deso
late." . ,
"Oh, do not speak in that sad
wav papa. 1 hope I shall always
be vour own little girl your own
dttle pet, no mutter how many
vears are added to my life." She
laid aside the little work basket,
and the delicate piece of canvas
her dainty lingers are fashioning
into a thing of beauty, and comes
and sits in her favorite place a
low stool at her father's feet; her
hands clasjied upon his knee, and
t ie lovely eyes l.-king up into
his. "And papa, if ever 1 do,"
blushing rosily "if ever 1 do marry
it shall be one request 1 shall re
quire of my husband that be Will
not take me far away from you."
"So my little daughter really,
thinks that she will have a hus
band some uay," he says, smiling
down at the blushing face, "bet
me tell your future my dear," he
sroes on gaiiy. "There is a tall
dark man--is not that the orthodox
form? There is a tab dark man
verv much in love with you, M ss
Bedford. His initials are Charlie
Warren. Don't iaterupt. And he
proposed to you befote you knew
our own mind, and of course you
said no, and equally of course you
are sorry now, ami if he should
repeat the proposal it would meet
with quite a different result. 1 see
bv vour blushes voting ladv that 1 i
have spoken like an oracle."
"O, papa, indeed, indeed, you
are mistaken that I am sony 1
said no. It he asked me now my
answer would be the same. Always
the same. 1 like'the lieutenant, as
a iiiend; but never anything
moic."
"Is this reaiiv and honestlv
true?"
lo-allv anil honestlv, papa
dear."
"i hen I am greatly disappointed.
It. has been the one wish of my
life this marriage. "Why Pearl
what can you have against him?
What objections. He is hand
some,, intelligent, and immensely
wealthy and belongs to one of the
oMest,inost respected families in
America."
"1 know nana, and I have r.o
objections in the world only that
I don't love him?"
"Put what can vou know of love ?
How do you know you do not love
him? If vou respect and like him
that is sullicient. Don't get ro
mantic notions into that litt'e
head of yours, and imagine that a
Prince is to come, and that you
will fall in love at sight, and free
in a palace, and be happy ever
after. Putting nonstnse aside
Pearl, it would make the old father
very happy to see vou safely mar
ried to Lieutenant Warren to
know that you had a husband and
I rotector who would take care of
you my one little lamb when 1
am gone. Pearl 1 may not live
many years now, I am an oid man,
and my days are numbered, or 1
would not want to give yoa to any
man. Put 1 want to make the
best arrangment I can for your
future before 1 am taken away
from you. Come now, let me take
the glad tidings to Charlie that you
have changed your mind, that you
will be his wife, and make two
men happy, one of them the old
fattier whom you have said so
many times you would do any
thing to please."
"Oh, papa yes, anything, any
thing, but this. But this is tmpos-r-ible
papa darling, the prince has
already come, and we have already
tell in love, and my heart, my
word is already pledged to another.
He is coming to night to ak your
consent, ana ou will give it, won't
you father With your blessing, ami
welcome your future son, who is in
every way more worthy than Lieu
tenant Wa'ien could ever be."
She raised her blushing lace from
his knee, but lue only looked ai
her with cold astonishment.
"Perhaps you will kindiy inform
me who this man I cannot say a
gentlemaii--is who has sneaked in
like a thief r.nd stolen my daughter.
heait. Pearl, astonishment does
not express my ieeimgs. 1 have
always thought you the embodi
ment oi sincerity and frankness, i
tlid not think vou capable oi cairv-
j ing on a clandestine courtship. I
thoight I was your confidant m
every Hung, llave 1 ever been so
harsh to you, that you dare not
tell me this, and ask my advice
before pledging yours'-li to a man
of whom you can know nothing."
'Oh pupa! don't speak like tutu.
Ii libit or you will bteak my heart.
The man, or gentlem tu lor O! pa
pa iie is a gentleman is Mr. Bur
ton. You have surely known that
1 have spent most of the fori night
jubt passed iu his society. I have
not acted in a clandestine nianuer.
He ha been at your house and
sat at your table at your invitation
papa, and I did not dream but that
you approved. I have attempted
to tell you everything several times
but I could not bring myselt to
talk about anything so sacred as
my love for him even to you papa
dear. It was oniy this morning
that he asked me to be his wife;ue
would have come to you then only
the bugle sounoed and he was com
pelled to hatsten away. He will be
here this evening to see you papa.
And now say you did net mean all
those cruel things you said just
now. Kiss me luthea, with youi
b essicg and wish aie much hap
piuess." She slipped from the
stooi to his knee, and twined her
arm coaxiugly about his neck,
while the tears rolled down her
flushed cheeks.
"No Pearl, no. Not now. So
go to your room child; any where
out of my sight. God knows I do
not want to be harsh to you. But
I cannot forgive you just yet.
Give me time to recover troni this
oiow. I would rather see you in
your coffin than married to that
penniless beggar.
He took away the trembling
arms from about his neck and leu
her to the door.
'Go child s;o, before I curse
you.'
CHAPTER VIII,
Pearl went to her room to strug
gle aloue with the first great sor
row of her life. They are the first
harsh words her father has ever
spokeu to her and it seemed to her
more thau she can bear.
"I would do anything to please
papa,' she sobs "1 would even sac
rifice my own feelings and marry
! Mr. Warren had I never met and
,' ioved Harry. But now my heart,
j my honor, my sacred wcrd are
' pieged to him. I could not be
faise to Harry much as I love pa
pa. We already belong to one
another and it would be wicked to
seperate us now."'
She goes down to dinner, but is
disappointed in the hope of seeing
her lather. He sends Ins excuses
that he is very busy, and does Hot
wish to be disturbed. He will
t ike a cup of tea iu the library in
an hour or so. Slis lingers by the
library door on ht-r way up stairs.
How she longs to enter aud upon,
bended knees pray her fathers
loroiveness and his blessing. But
all is silent within and she remem
bers his reques.', that he is not to
be disturbed. Perhaps it would
only make matters worse to go to
him now. He will surely repent
his harshness to his littie girl
when he had time for sober reflec
tion. And she returns to her room,
expecting to receive a summons to
his presence, and to be taken into
the dear oid arms, and be comfort
ed ana forgiven. But no such
summons ever comes to her ever
again .
She waits sorrowfully alone un
til the I. our f eight is clanged
forth fit m all the clocks iu the
great, od house. The httr
she is to meet her lover at the boat
house. She thrws a light shawl
over her brown head, and glides
softly down stairs, wondering ail
the time if Harry has seen her
father and what the result of their
interview has been. She resolves
to stop at the library and tell her
lather where she is going.
Tne library dor stands ajar and
at first she thinks the room is un .
occupied. "Papa," slie calls softiy
as sue advances and sees her iathtr
standing iu the center of the room.
At the tound ot the voice the man
turns, and she sees that it is Dot
her lather, but Harry Burton. He
Iooks at her an instant as it' stu pi
tied then suddenly recolecliDg him-.-elf
cries out, "My God ! Pearl this
is no place lor you. Go away,
for God's sake oo not come m
here," But the warning is too
late. He: eyes have grown accus
tomed to the semi darkness, and
she sees in front of her fathers desk
piostra;e upon the tioor a rigid
lorm with her lather's cold ghastly
lace turned tow aid tier.
With one prlongued, heart-rendering
cry sue thugs herself down
by the stiffening form.
"O ! pupa speak to me. It is
our own little pet your own
Peiiri. U! my own father. My
near, dear, papa you are not dead.
.No not deau without tine forgiving;
vNoiu to .'your - bule girl.-' Harry
lilted her in his strong arms ami
carried her to a sofa.
"On, my oarliug" he said. "Ask
God te give you strength to bear
this."
Pearl's shriek bronght all the
servants to the scene. The ga
was turned on a ghastly horriole
sight. The dear old geut;i-al whom
every one loved, and who was not
supposed to have an enemy at Fort
D lies on tlie floor in a pool ot
biood his own oiood which still
continues to flow Horn a wound in
the side. The whoie house, from
garret to cellar is in a geneial up
roar, oeryauts rushing hither and
thither. Cries ot "murder," "Sre,"
calls lor the police, the guards,
maids servants lauding aud sol
diers running in ironi ail direc
tions. Mrs. Churchill comes in aLd
leads Pearl unresistingly away to
her own rioui where she undresses
and places her tenderly in bed.
The tears meanwhile streamintr
down her kiad old face. Pearl
neither faints nor sheds one tear.
Alter tliat first wild outburst, she
seems transformed into stone.
