She was pale as death and looked terribly ill, but managed to yrcet him calmly as usual. "Dear Miss Bedford," he began in a tone of respect'ul sympathy, I have but jusi. returned from Chicago, .vhere j was called upon important brsiness. 1 saw in the exchanges while there, news which was mo-it startling, news that 1 should have kept from your knowl edge had I been here, and had such a thing been possible; but 1 see its sad result in your face. 1 need not ask if you know all." She did not answer and he con tinued. "1 may as well say all I have to say concerning the terrible tragedy now, and thcnTeail you must, try and forget it all if you can. At first 1 was t jo much stai tied and 1 may say shocked to don ot the truthful ness of the statement, but after calmer thought 1 concluded it would be at least wise to investi gate the matter. How to do this satisfactorily was the. next question that arose in my mind, lor it weined impossible to leave the business which had brought me to Chicago, and which was very necessary to .have arranged im mediately. But upon inquiry I found that by taking a night train lor J. the station near w he e the disaster was reported to have occurred f could go there, and by returning by night train also, only lose one day. So having obtained a leave of absence from my busi ness patrons, I bo.-rded the express bound for L at half-past eight in the evening find prepared to pass the night agt comfortably us possible, but 1 need not tell you that my ride was far from pleasant, for being the only passenger the train boy diil not seem to think it at ail important to keep a tire, and 1 round my great coat nardly sulli c'eiit protection against a cold tin t carried the mercury away down into twenties. However, 1 arrived safely and tele no bad results from my-frigid ride. 1 found L to be a miserable 1 ttle hole of a town, or village, whee alter eating an indifferent breakfast at the oniy hotel, 1 started out to make m investigations. 1 visited tlie scene ot the disaster ; but 1 need not describe the place nor relate to you the horrible picture that arose in my mind as 1 t?uzed at the debris upon the rocky cliffs perhaps a hundred feet below me as 1 stood upon the new trestle that had re placed the one that had gone down loadeu with human souls; sending some or them suddenly into eternity, others 'to follow them alter hours o hideous torture and others to live lives of pain ami helplessness-. J do not like to dwell upon the thoughts that came over me just then, or do 1 like to think of the after exjerience8 of that day. It is only necessary for me to tell you that 1 found, the statements in the papers more correct than newspaper reports generally are. 1 called this morn ing to give you this paper it is an article signed by the mayor of L declaring the identity of of the pert on who was killed, and to ex tend my help and sympathy to you i: it is required." "Colonel, i am overwhelmed with gratitude," said l'earl broken ly. " You could do all this for me. Surety you deserve your reward." "l'earl whatever I nave done was done without hope of reward. If there is anything in this world that 1 can do for you at any time vu have only to command me." lou have done an that is necessary to do colonel. You have now oniy to take your reward, which 1 wish was more worthy oi you. I have been thinking lately colonel that I have been very seitish, that I have thought more of my own happiness than that of others, and 1 want to atone for the past by devoting the rest of my life to others. 1 am willing to be jour wife if you want jwhat remains oi Pean Bedford." - . l'earl, is it possible? Can it be true?" said the colonel in a tremo ling voice, which was not assumed, and lie covered his face with his hand kerchief to conceal the gleam of r.umph which lit up his facj v. ith a light almost man a-al in its t erceness. "Can heaven be so K.ml to me." tie continued am r he h.ui controlled his feelings su;!i ciently to spe..k in his usual vu.c . "Can i, may 1 say my l'earl?'' His question seemed to arouse l'earl lium a deep sad reverie, lor iiltiioa to !t bis wife had tut '.K-d a . uv. and her thoughts wen; of the present. ovidentlv no: "Yes. es.:" she said, quickly; have 1 not said so? iiave 1 no! said I would marry you?

But now tiiat you are mine 1 can wait. io m darlingobtair. the rest you seem te require. 1 entreat you my loved one. to seek repose of mind and body. Quickly re-establish yoiu health that at least, before death we may lit able to say we were many days happy together." He led her across the room and onened the door for her to pass out. As she stepped across the threshold he stooped and planted a burning kiss upon her brow, murmuring with subdue(T"passi6n7'mine-l mine! mine' at last!" Pea 1 shrank from him with a Strang i feeling of aversion, and with burning cheeks sought the seclusion of her our apartment, thankful to tind Nellie absent just then. "Have I done right? Have I d jne my duty ?" she .exclaimed, 1 am his promised wife, but oh, my rather in heaven pity me for 1 iiate him. oh, 1 hate him!" She fell into a chair near the. window and leaning her head against the casement looked out into the rapid ly deepeniuy wintry loggy twilight. "Like this gloomy twilight last I'adiujj into a Dight coid dark and dreary in my life,'' she moaned "Must I iive in utter despair'' Every ray of light has hided from my sight. Every hope is broken. Mv heji't is empty and yet 1 can not die. Oh, Papa, why can I noi come to youj Oh, Lord it is enough now let me die. it is enough," she repeated over auu oyer again uucousciousiy wailiug Elijah's plea. "It is enough, it i enough!' A peal of girlish laughter floated up to her Horn the rooms beio ; uitu a bar of "Twickenham's Ferry" sounded along the stairway. "Ah, Nellie dear," she sighed. God grant that your bright life oe not Oiiylited as mine has been. Who would believe I oiicexould laugh and sing like that." Light feet kept time to the merry music down the long hall; then the girlish treble euued iu a whistle, aud then "Peari ! oil Peari iet the pearly gates ajar please. Why you naughty, naughty clnid t'.ing here iu the darkness aione. Aud my goodness! "she exclaimed when she had turned up the gas. "You areas blue as indigo, an 1 shivering too. Whatever is to he come ol you when I hive guue and you huve no grand uia to lane can oi you i don"t know." Sue rang the belt and while the servant was building the roariug blitzing lire which sue ordered s'le proceeded to give him what she cahed a good scolding tor neglecting his mis "est: s health and comfort. She bustled about, drawing down the Oliuds, ami wheeling a large easy chair in troit ot the cheerful lire, she halt carried Pearl to the coujlortaole seat, ami seated herself on an ottomau near by. "Now Pearl are you oomrorlable? Then please lend me your ears. My head actually aches with over abundance ot intelligence it con tains; and my heart buist with happiness. rs ready to 1 have just received a letter from my "man ol the mountain," and he is coming heme iu April and" with many blushes, "be'bego me to marry him ih May." "Aud of course, could I reluse him any thing f" "Dear little grandma," said Pearl patting the glowing cheek lovingly, "My dear lovely, lovely and loved friend may jou ever be as happy as you are new. Mr. Paul Jtubell is to be congratulated. I wonder if he lully realizes what a bright little sunbeam is to shine upon his life from May time od,v then alter a pause she said. "I too Nellie have something to tell. I am to be married." "Oh! Pearl, I am so glad." said Nellie clapping her hands. "Tell me quick. It's so roman tic." "There is nothing to tell," re turned Pearl slowly, "only that I promised to marry Colonel Warren. No do not congratulate. Theie dear! do not wish me happiness.'' "Oh, cut Pearl you will be, once you are married. The Colonel is so noble, so grand, he loves you so much, you cannot Help but be happy." "At least I cannot be very un happy while my light heat ted Nel lie is with me' "And Oh, Pearl!" cried Nellie, excitedly, "we will have a double wedding", with bndesmaids.and we will have dresses alike, and won't it be grand ?': and she jumped up and went whirling around the room in an ecstaiy of delight. "And, l'earl," she gasped, when at last she was obliged to stand stid from sheer want f breath, "l'earl, do you know this is the last of leb nt.iry ? 1 must go ruhl home, and you will go with me there, don't otu-n votir lips to say no.for 1 must havj my own way, you know. And we will" prepare" our trosseau to gether, and yo.r wdl take your u.-:e with you, she has such ex quudie tuote; and mamma will be atur iiiaKiu iik- i delighted, and she will help us. And Pearl, Pearl, 1 am just too ut terly, awfully happy!" and she went whirling around the room again. And Nellie did have h :r "own way" in this as m ail other pro jects she undertook. The colonel, of course, was onlv too anxious to second any amusement to hus,en his own weudmg. an i Mis. lHs mond was easily persuaded to as sist in so b. illiant an alliance for her neice. -Mr. Desmond was only his wile's echo in this, as in ah other matters, so the only resi.-t-a ice Noli"- had to contend agair-s. weie r ead's feeble proteste, and these were easily overcame. "After all," Pearl argued to her self, "what: did it matter?" Hie iiad given he.-- promise, and she would as soon trunk of cutting off her right band as of breaking her promise which she was able to ful fill. What-did it .matter it the marriage toek place sooner or later? it was all the same, and perhaps it would be better soon, e'er she should repent giving thai pr .misc. And Nellie's plans offer ed a release from the colonel's hated presence for a time at least. For, try as hard as she might, she cTuld deceive herself no longer as to her feeiings for the colonel. She trembled with feelings of horror when she thought of her life to come with him. Yet she had no idea of shrinking from duty now. To l'earl a sacri fice given grumblin;l' and com plainingly was no sacrifice at all. She had made up her -mind to be cheerful, and she resolved over and over again with God's help to be a pleasant ami agreeable wife, and to make tne most of her ruined life. I'.eveu if her heart broke and her life went out under the terrible trial, she would feil that she had done her duty, done her utmost to atone ; and she imagim d her father loOKing down upon 'her approving iv. ")h, Daddy, darling!" she groaned, "had 1 made this little sacrifice years ago you would not now be murdered and lying in the urave. No, you would be here to niess and comfort me liow. But, dear daddy, you will forgive rue now, lor now you can look down from your spirit home into my ! heart and see hw 1 loved him oh, how I loved him !" CHAPTER XXII. The welding day was rapidly approaching. Nellie had arranged everything.' from the beginning; and had named the tifteenili day o; May :or tiie grand event. There was to be a double wed ding in the church, with trains o: bridis maid:-, md best men for each cotlpie. Afterwards a graud re ception Ht Nellie's fhome. Th"ii they were lo start unou ashou wedd n' tour to the P-e eo ist. brk ee-m iid?, best n en an: at were o go. ll'tu;nius u, . weie to visit a month at tin; home ot" ..Mr. Kubell's parents in Vermont; then some length .;' loiu ai the Des mond mansion in St. Louis. Then Mi. and Mrs, Buu. il were to commence housekeeumg in Bo.s'.ou and tlie Coionel and Pearl w.mid reside at trie Colonel's couj'.ry se u near &t. L:;Uis. Thus lar Pearl had onlv to drift with the tide, or rather to whirl round wuu the edd;es; for Neliie ordered every tliiug with a lavish hand, and to Pearl the last two mouths ha.i seemed only oue tndless shopping expedition. Mrs. Desmond had come down, and tiie'e were auui mated discussions regarding peari satin lavender, and inarve siik. ashes of roses, aud violet silk cream crepe, aud Eugiish mull etc; and the upper rooms of the Nelson residence were all transformed into a dressmaking ami millniery establishment. T'ut Pearl had only to smile, and to ay this was beautiful, or that was lovely, or something else was splendid, and to stand patiently by the hour to be fitted and pro nouueed an angel. But, now the shopping, and the fitting were all over and the great trunko were being packed, while the house was undergoing a great transformation preparatory to the giand reception. Coiouel Warren had come from St.Louis, and was stopping at the hotel ouly a few blocks away, and Mr. Kubeil had arrived from Italy aud a as iu constant attendance up on his iady love. Theirs was a genuine love match. They had met while Nel .ie was abroad with Pearl, and Paul was an artist, studying and traveling id Italy. As they had ri ret met at a little wyside inn upon a picturesque mountain side, Nellie had peri tid in calling him her "man or the mouutaiu," ever since. He had been a sympathetic 1 i s -tcner to Nellie's pat letic lit lie story of tier lilly laced trieuo. and it was Pearl.s face he painte.i tor his Madonnas and angels, whm Xel.'.e's rosy leatures represented his llo-er giris aud other charac ters with les spirituelle frees than Pearl's. Pearl would have preftred a quieter wedding; but if all this os t atatiou pleased Nellie why no; submit; She was living for otheis now. so what did it matter Mrs. Desmond was delighted wiin all the tine display ; and the Col'iiei sc!.:r:-d aniio-t wild with huppiue-.st in iutt tii-y uoiii spent nis company Peari became more frightened of hun. His love for her seemed so int-.'u.-e, almost fierce l'earl thought, aid she shrank in .'in ti e strange gutter iu her ejes. But when she mentioned her fears to Neliie she was only laughed at, and calie i a lit i u- simpleton. "Why you ?;ose it is ouly be-can-c? he hues you so much, md that he has siici black eyes. Ji's die nat ire of such t"i perainents to lov ardently. Y'ou ooght to tee! it dieted.

He loves you sihcei ly 1 Know." "Oh 1 am not going to; I only -.y.l am tempted to. I know he loves me: :.nd then I could not riirt or act auy thing ut my o.vn natural self if I tried."- Andsothe wedding day came. And the earth did not fall, nor the sun refuse to shine. On tlie con trary he beamed in at Pearl's w in dow as radiantly as ii'she was the happiest bride to be, in the world. If there remaiued a lingering hope in her heart that this mar riage Mould by some unseen power be averted, such hope was dispelled this morning. ".My Heavenly Father," she pi ayed,as she arose from her sleep xsa couch, and knelt ty its side. "Mj God. my only strength, and hetp on earth lorsake me no. Help me to beir this tcrrible,aw'ul triai. Ou, lorihou mu't bavo some purpose in causing me to live w ien oh, it would be such a pleasure to die," and with this thought came a little comfort. . 1 It would have been so easy for Ntrotohave crushed my life or z that other mid Mayday. 0!of ail days that Nellie should choose this." It was upon mid May day that her love, her brief happiness h id corns to her; aud b cause of that l ive all this sorrow and suffering had come. "Oil Harry, had you let me dio then, tins t'-rribie sin and suffering i woid I u ver have been. But oh, 1 i must not think or the Dast. I J must not hi' aioue to-day cr I will i go mad."
