A mark drawn in ink around the lists of
deaths in the second, attracted his atten-
tion. He read:

In C , April 27th, of brain fever,
Helen, wife of Colonel Frederick Lawson,
aged 27.”

A summons to the sick room, and lifting
his face from his hands, with « moment's
struggle he dismissed all traces of emotion.
and hurriedly obeyed the call. A_pro-
longed and deadly fainting fit had alarm-
ed Mrs. Rawson; he found her in a
paroxysm of hysteries, with her daughter
bending over her, and it was long ere she
could convinced that life had not indeed
departed. Reassured, at last, by the fee-
ble tones of the invalid, as he finally un-
closed his eyes in consciousness, she
yielded to his entreaty to retire to her
chamber, to seek for a little time the re-
pose she so much needed, Adele follow-
ed at an impress esture from her
father, and Coloncl Lawson silently took
his seat ut the bedside. A deep silence
fell between them, broken only when the
soft gloom of twilight began to steal in
through the half drawn curtains. Colonel
Lawson started from his painful retrospec-
tion as the low voice of the sufferer broke
the almost oppressive stillnes:

«Tam entering upon the journey we all
must go. Only one reflection troubles
mej; my little family, alone in a strange
land.”

“Let not that give you a moment's
thought, my friend, [ will be to your
and child all that your heart can

“All?” Ie paused, and then rallying’
strength, wenton. ‘* There is one thing
1 would earnestly desire—which would
take every thorn from my dying pillow.”
nge premontion of the wish
struggling for utterance on those pale lips
was reflected in Lawsou’s mind that his
fate was suddenly averted, ‘The moye-
ment passed unheeded by the sick man,
however, and he went on—

* Adele's future—young, rich, beautifal
—I tremble for my child!) From my own
heart I know the world. Colonel Lawson,
[sive not been to my true wife the most
fiithful of husbands, or to my poor
thetenderest of fathers, I lament too]
when I can give them nothing but my
prayers and wishes: From one sin, the
blackest in the long catsogue, God imer-
cifaliy withheld me; he siateched from my
grasp the heart and reputation T had plan-
ned to sully, Oh, I thank Ilim fervently
for this on iny death bed!”

Ile was silent; his mind seemed lost in
the dlections of the troubled past; his
hands locked feebly in éach other's clasp,
and a stifled sigh escaped him,

Colonel Lawson was silent. Te felt the
embarrassment of his situation, [His high
sense of gratitude struggled with conflict-
ing emotions. Did he not owe his lite,his
future to the man whose generous exer-
tions had snatched him fre a horrible
doom? What obligations owed he to her
memory thus to revolt at the thought of a
second union, when her cruel deception
had so blighted his life? And after all this
Whit
sympathy could exist between the gay,
happy Adele and himself? He took in’ his
firm elasp the thin hand which now lay
extended on the counterpane,

** My dear sir, I will not profess that J
love your daughter; a painful experience
has banished me from all thought of wo-
man’s love, but [honor and respect her,
and if her heart so wills, will thankfully
cluim her as my wile.”

“Then I shall die content.” murmured
Mr. Rawson, v faint glow lighting up his
face.

Anticipating his eager wish, the colonel
rose at once to ring the bell, and ordered
the servant to call Mrs. Rawson and Adele.
They came pale and anxious, fearing a
second attack, but afew words from the

cheek flushed, but her silent lips made at
itt least no opposition, She stole a timid
“lance at her suitor, whose grave brow
and resolutely composed mien spoke little
of the tremor and hope of the lover; and
the same glance took in her father’s radi-
ant fee, and her mother’s wistful eyes,
«Dispose of me as you will,” she said,
faintly, to her father, giving him her hand,
But she started, and involuntarily raised
her eyes, as she met the icy clasp of the
bridegroom, Tlis down syes sent back
no answering look; she saw plainly that
his thoughts were far away. Her mother's
ery roused he She turned towards the
bed. Mr. Rawson had justexpired. ‘The
mournful arrangements were soon com-
pleted. A place secured for the hallowed
remains in consecrated ground, in’ the
pleasant cemetery of ——; a plain marble
eross, with the age and name recorded,
erected to mark the spot; the few business
arrangements hurried over, and barely
two weeks later saw the little party in a
steamer bound for Liverpool on their way
acrogs the ocean, ‘The voyage was un-
usually rough and tempestuous, nod the
ladies were confined almost entirely to
tate-room,
Arrived in New York, Colonel Lawson
conducted them at once to his elegant
mansion, where by his forwarded orders
everything had been prepared for their
reception. We will not dwell upon his
own emotions at thus re-entering a home
hallowed to him by so many recollections,
That they could not be otherwise than
deeply painful, we may well believe. In
the first shock of Adelo’s sudden bereaye-
ment, and in the course of their tempestu-
ous voyage, he had found no opportunity
for the revelation he owed her. The ab
sence of his child, removed into the ecoun-
try by direction of its physician some
weeks previous, on aecount of ilness, he
welcomed thankfully, as preventing an |
awkward denouement. Ile : rather
to make the avowal of his previous mar-
riage himself, and in his own way, and
hersoon tound a favorable opportunity.

Adele listened with surprise to the
strange recital he gave her, but she made
no comment. ‘I regret this apparent
concealment,” he went on, ‘t yet believe
me, it has been far from intentional. My
magiage, as 1 have just told you, was an
unhappy one, why or wherefore it would
answer no purpose to reveal. Much as I
admired and respected you, Adele, imtil
that day in whieh at your father’s deathbed
you placed your hand in mine, I could
hays no hope that you would overlook the
disparity of my years and gloomy temper-
ament; neither indeed until that hour was
I free to become a suitor for your hand.”

He paused, and waited a reply.

“T thank you for your candor, Colonet
Lawson,” she returned, raising her clear
eyes to his face, ‘My father chose for
me, and I have no reaso: to distrust his
judgment, or the wisdom of his choice.”

Ie would have liked a less ambiguous
reply, but Mrs. Rawson entered at that
moment, and the opportunity of any fur-
ther conversation was lost. Adele re-
mained thoughttul for a few moments,and
then rose and quitted the room, ‘That his
story had affected her he plainly saw, but
with what emotions he was unable to
penetrate. Did her woman’s curiosity de-
mand a further revelation of the nmiysteri-
ous past of the man with whom she was
so soon to enter into the nearest of human
relations? Did the acknowledgment of a
previous unhappy connection, combined
with his reserve and gloom, arouse her

st of the future? Did she condemn
ilence, notwithstanding all the apolo-
gies which the hurry of the cireumstunees
offered? He lost himself in these vain
conjectures.

But whatever reflections had momently
disquieted her, the shadow was quite gone
from Adele's brow when she took her usual
dace at the supper table that evening, and
Bawace saw with relief that the wonted
smile had come back 1° her lip. Her
gaiety, which had been laid by in the first
griet of bereavement, Was now rapidly
returning, and the Jong silent drawing-
rooms thrilled to the melody of her light
cuitar and the music of her rich songs.
As the richly-portioned ward of Colonet
wawson, young and beautiful, her socicty
was much courted by the few who were
so fortunate as to procure introductions to
her, or more particularly hy the managing
mothers and eligible fortune hunters ; anc
she accepted with avidity the invitations
offered to seleet parties, her deep mourn-
ing excluding her from balls and more
general gatherings. ‘To all these Colonel
Lawson was of course her escort, as well
as the companion of her daily drives, and
her gallant atthe opera, He had solicited*
the fulfilment of their engagement, indeed
urged it upon her somewhat varnestly in
view of the embarrassing relations in
which they were placed, but here he had
prot a firm deni, and an’ entyeaty for
delay until the year of her mourning had
expired, And as this wish was seconded
by Mrs. Rawson, he found himselt com-
pelled to acquiesce.

Was he happy in view of his rapidly
approaching new connection? Did Adele's
smiles and endearments banish the regrets
of the past? 1 do not think so, I think
they seeretly deepened its gloom. Yet
nothing could exceed his kindness and
patience with his fair child-betrothed—n
child to him in most of her tastes and
pleasures. He saw her indiffirence to
quiet home enjoyments; he saw her art-
less delight in her own beauty and the ad-
miration it excited, and he saw how the
