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 deep-toned books he loved, the high and simple things which made up his own life, ennuied her, Who ean wonder if, in contrast to this gay, thoughtless young ature, whose as yet to know the refinirg fires ot gold in our earthly nature, the vision of a fair, pale wgnan should vise up, the companion of lis intellect, the love of his heart, the sternly-judged wile of his youth, whose hopes he had blighted, and whose y grave he had made. Well, he de- ed the future which his prophetic vision keenly foresaw. But at last he would be faithful to his new duties. He would guide Adele’s feet amidst the quick- sands of temptation ; he would. shteld her as fir as human tenderness could do froin every cor with evil, Solemnly should the trust given by her dying tather be hps of the dying man explained the new ‘ ; position in which they stood. Adele's kept. He would accept his stern destiny as wv mourntal atonement for the irreps ble past. CHAPTER U1, “T amt very sorry to deny youa pleasure, Adele, but a pressing engagement calls me wway this evening.” “But IT shall be so disappointed, and, besides, I promised Mrs. Sinythe the first and third danees-—the second is ours, you know—and—” : “My love, I am truly sorry to disap- point you, but it is quite impossible. I promised Mr. Evans to call at his oflice this evening to look over with him some very importint papers connected with a pending lawsuit.” ‘A lawsuit t” patient shrug. zo, Frederick it greater favor.” “But itis really a duty, Adele.” “Duty! No one uses that disagreeable word exceptto escape from an unwelcome request,” He turned from her a little vexed with her pertinagity, but instantly recovered himself, * You know I am always happy to be at your disposal, Adele.’ And without further words he slowly drew on his gloves and passed into the hall. 5 On his solitary walk up Broadway, he encountered an old friend, whom he had lost sigit of for several years, and in the Wirinth of their greeting, and in the inter- change of some of the striking events which had occurred to both since their septation, the moments slipped away till he was struck by the lateness of the how. On consulting his wateh at parting, he found that it was some time past their usual hour of tea, and not far trom. the time fixed for his appomtment with Mr. Evans, Under these circumstances ho decided to step into a restaurant near by, instead of sretracing his steps, and. after lunch to: proceed ut once to his place of engagement, She gave 9 pretty, im- * Do let the musty rol's Tam sure I would do you (Conclusion in our neat.)
