And that prayer is still ascending
From worn hearts in every clime.

Wondering why each varied lot,
Mutely asks the great All Pather-—
Asks although it knows it not,
Thus my Father but one blessing!

All they know of life away;

I turned to the second face.

Valerie, looking up at me in “a way that

character of the face is changed, Cold as
marble, save for the lovely lips, which
even in this picture seem to breathe pas-
sionate fondness; and costly jewels lie on
the fair neck, and fasten up the yellow
hair. The face of a Circe, und ene that
wis as fatal to all who looked upon it
with eyes of love,

I had been dining that day with Clarence
Hervey in his bachelor apartments; and
Raymond, his most perteetly-trained of
servants, Who ‘had been with the major
this dozen yeurs, had noiselessly left us to
the enjoyment of our wine and segars.
Hervey was my beau-ideal of a cavalry
officer; and one of my deepest regrets, in
leaving tho service, was the necessity of
parting from him, My. health had given
out during the second year of the war;
and after sending in a reluctant resigna-
tion, I left for the south of France, from
whence I had but just returned, having.
thank heaven, a new lease of strength and
life. Meeting Hervey at the club, we had
adjourned to his rooms; and it made the
old soldierly blood tingle in my veins to
listen to. the stirring incidents of his eam-
paigning life, with which he had been en-
tertaining me during dinner, Glaneing
about the rooms, in admiration of their
pertect appointments and elegant furni-
ture, my eyes happened to light on the
pictures, aud the sword hanging above
them.

“Which of your various sabres is that,
Hervey?” I asked, carelessly, knocking
the ashes from my segar, ‘* You seem to
have some sentimental recollections con-

nected with it, judging from its deeora-

tions, and the proximity of your two fair

friends underneath.”

“Don't, my dear Phil,” said the major

actually winced under my random remark,

“That sword is none of mine; it belonged

to Gordon Grahame.”

“Good God!” said I, with shocked em-

phasis, feeling a lump rising in my throat,

and quick tears to my eyes. Too well 1

remembered the beautiful, boyish face of

Grahame, of ‘ Ours,” the pet of the wholes

regiment, and fairly adored by his men,

I had heard of his melancholy death while

T was abroad; and knowing of the deep,

fervent attachment existing between Her-
yey and himself, { could have bitten out

my tongue for bringing up his name with
a careless jest.

Yes,” the major went on, after a brief
yause, ‘ that is poor Gordon's sword, his
trusty friend in many battles. I believe
you loved bim, Phil; do you care to hear
his story?”

*T have been wanting to ask you for
particulars,” I answered, ‘* Ilis death
was an awlul shock to me, for, as you say,
1 loved poor Gordon well, Beyond the
bare intelligonco, I know nothing; but
you, of all others, can tell me how he fell.”
A epasm of conyulsed pain shot over

wonder why [always think of the iabled
Lorely of the Rhine when [ look at her.
Our call that evening was not along one,
but Gordon came in a state of excitement.
He raved over hor all the way down to the

to go into raptures over any woman, did
something very like it over this one, The
next day we all started off for West Point.
The party was quite a_large one, Phil,
twenty or more of us. You know all the
set—the Fishers, Sanfords, Ives, and Van
Courtlandts, with the usual beaux, and
Gordon and myself for the military cle-
ment. It was early in June, and for a
week we pretty nearly had Cozzens’ all to
ourselves, Which we did not all object to.
IT ever go to West Point again (which I
probably never shall do,) commend me
to it either in June, or the early part ol
September. We had not been there three
days when I saw how matters were going
with Gordon. His loye for that woman
was something beautiful to witness. is

ought to have been pertectly irresistible ;
I believe they wore, for awhile, even to
her. Valerie began by devoting hersell
totally to Gordon, her * Chevalier Bayiurd,’
as she playfully ealled him, because of his
enthusiastic love for his profession. It's
hard w even now, Phil, for ine to be
lieve that a girl of only seventeen could so
act out and stimulate a passion that was
butadie! Ltry to convince myselt some-
times, that, for a little, his devoted ten-
derness really touched her feclings—tor
heart, she had none! You sce that little
gold cross tied up in his sword-hilt? That
transaction first made we doubt her.”
Ilervey’s voice broke down here, and
he looked ghastly as I turned toward him,
« There’s no help tor it, Phil,” he said,
with a desperate attempt atatiugh, “You
are sale,so Lay conivss my own folly, i
loved Valiere L'Estrange! Loved her so
wholly, so madly, that, worthless though
I know her to be, yet at this moment 1
love her madly eill, You may judge what
L suffered when [ saw how Gordon’s heart
was bound up in her sinile, LT thank God
ho never knew my secret; that I never
was false to him, no matter what she was.
Valerie, with the unerring instinct that
was peculiarly her own, seemed to read
me ata glance; do what I would, I felt
that she knew I loved her—and she tor-
tured me, LI thought it mere girlish inno-
cence then—I know better now!

“We were all out on the piazza one
morning, after breakfast; as usual, half
the men around Miss Listrange. She
was rolling up a cigarette for Goruon,and
he was leaning over her chair in his grace:

«Tam so bete this morning,’ she sai
in her pretty foreign accent, with a littl
jpettish shrug. ' My fligers are too clum

tone and look with which she had sought
to make me ask for it that very morning.

Could it be possible that a creature so
young, and apparently so guileless, could
be so old in deceit?

**Keep italways, and remember my
love, my Chevalier Bayard,’ she said, fast-
ening it in his sword-hilt with a bit of blue
ribbon which she took off her dainty white
throat. I saw him kiss her twice, thrice,
there in the moonlight; and then Mrs.
Lorimer came down the stairease, aud
Valerie and Gordon followed her. Istay-
ed there, Phil, and fought the weary mi+
serable battle out.”

Ifervey pansed, drained a glass of
champagne, and went on with a steadier
voice,
