CHAPTER XLVIILI. | HBELEN’s act was strange, and demands a |} word of explanation, If she had thought |the steamboat was a strange vessel, she i would have lighted the bonfire ; if she bad | known her father was on board, she would jhave lighted it with joy. But Hazel, whose every word now was gospel, had

| searching for her.

Suill, so strong is the impulse in all civil- ized beings to get back to civilization, that she went up the hill as honestly intending to light the bonfire as Hazel intended it to be lhghted. But, as she went, her courage cooled, and her feet began to go slowly, as her mind ran swiftly forward to conse- quence upon consequence. To light that bonfire was to bring Arthur Wardlaw down upon herself and Hezel living alone and on intimate terms. Arthur would come and claim her to his face. Could she disallow Gratitude would now be on his side as well as good faith. What a shock to Arthur! What torture for Hazel! tor- ture that he foresaw, or why the face of anguish, that dragged even now at her heart strings? And then it could end only in one way; she and Hazel would leave the Island in Arthur's ship. What a voyage for all three! She stood transfixed by shame; her whole body blushed at what she saw coming. Then once more Hazel’s face rose before her; poor crippled Hazel ! her hero and her patient. She sat down and sighed, and could no more light the fire than she could have put it out if another had lighted it.

She was a girl that could show you at times she had « father as well as a mother; but that evening she was all woman.

They met no more that night.

In the morning his face was haggard, and showed a mental stroygle; but hers placid and quietly beaming for the very reason that she had made a great sacrifice. She was one of that sort.

And this difference between them was a foretaste.

His tender conscience pricked him sore. To see her sit beaming there, when, if be had done his own duty with his own hands she would be on her way to England! Yet his remorse was dumb; for, if he gave it vent, then he must seem ungrateful to her for her sacrifice.

She saw his deep and silent compunction, approved it secretly; said nothing but smiled, and beamed, and soothed. He could not resist this: and wild thrills of joy and hope passed through him, visions of unbroken bliss far from the world.

But this sweet delirium was followed by migivings of another kind. And here she was at fault. What could they be ?

It was the voice of conscience telling him that he was really winning her love, once inaccessible; and, if so, was bound to tell her his whole story, and let her judge be- tween him and the world, before she made any more sacrifices for him. But it is hard to stop great happiness; harder to stop it and ruin it. Every night, as he lay alone, he said, ‘To-morrow | will tell her all, and make her the judge.’ Butin the morning her bright face ¢rushed his purpose by the fear of clouding it, His limbs got strong and his heart got weak; and they used to take walks, and her head came near his shoulder; and the path of duty began to be set thicker than ever with ‘thorns; and the path of love with primroses. One day she made him sit to her for his portrait; and under cover of artistic enthusiasm, told him his beard was godlike, and nothing in the world could equal it for beauty. She never saw but one at all like it, poor Mr. Seaton’s; but even that was very inferior to his; and then she dismissed the sitter : ‘Poor thing,’ said she, ‘you are pale and tired.’ And she began to use ornaments; took her bracelets out of her bag, and picked pearis out of her walls, and made a cvronet, under which her eyes flashed at night with superlative beauty -- conscious beauty brightened by the sense of being admired and looked at by the eye she desired to please.

She revered him. He had improved her character, and she knew it, and often told him so, ‘Call me Hazelia,’ she said; ‘make me liker you, still,’

One day, he came suddenly through the jungle, and found her reading her prayer- book.

He took it from her, not meaning to be rude, neither, but inquisitive.

It was open at the marriage-service, and her cheeks were dyed scarlet.

His heart panted. He was a clergyman; he could read that service over them both.

Would it be a marriage ?

Not in England; but in some countries it would. Why not in this? This was not England.

He iooked up. Her head was averted; she was downright distressed.

He was sorry to have made her blush; so he took her hand and kissed it tenderly, so tenderly that his heart seemed to go into his lips. She thrilled under it, and her white brow sank upon his shoulder.

The sky was a vault of purple witha flaming topaz in the center; the sea a heavenly blue; the warm air breathed heavenly odors; flaming macaws wheeled overhead; humming-birds, more gorgeous than any flower, buzzed around their heads, and amazed the eye with delight, then cooled it with the deep green of the jungle into which they dived.

Out of 704 blast furnaces in the United States 416 were out of blast on Jan. 1, 1884. Of the bituminous furnaces fifty-five per cent., of the authracite fifty-two per cent., and of the charcoal furnaces sixty-eight per cent. were out of biest. This represents an enormous number of men out of work,

A Chicago barber says:—‘‘The edge of a razor is a very delicate thing. Heat and co d effect it. Under a strong magnify ing glass the edge of a razor which has been ex- posed to the cold wouid seem like a saw. Dipping into het water throws the litile particles back into place and makes the edge smooth. A sudden change in the weather always affects the razors in a barber shop and the tempers of the barbers.”

The trade in frozen meat from the Avs- tralasian colonies of England had advanced within three years to a most important con- dition. In 1880 only 400 carcasses were imported, while in 1883 no fewer than 193,644 were landed in England, 62,723 from Australia, and 129,732 from New- Zealand. Twenty-one cargoes arrived in a perfectly satisfactory condition, seven were not quite so good, and three were bad. Colenial mutton is in greater demand than colonial beef.

A clergyman in Durham, England, some short time since taught an old man in his parish how to read, and found him an apt pupil. After his lessens were finished he was not able to call for some time, and when he did only found the wife at home. *‘How is John?” said he. ‘‘How does he get on with his reading?’ ‘Oh, nicely, sir.” ‘‘Ah, I suppose he'll read his Bible very comfortably now?” ‘‘Bible, — sir! Bless you, he is out of the Bible and into the newspapers long ago.”

There was a company of men engaged in a little game of cards in a friend’s parlor one night. It grew late, and fears were ex- pressed by the party that they were tres- passing upon the kindness of the mistress of the house, who, by the way, was not present. ‘‘Not at all, gentlemen, not at all. Play as long as you please. I am Czar here,” said the master of the mansion. “Yes, gentlemen, play as long as you please,” said a silvery voice—and all rose immediately as the mistress of the house stood before them—‘‘but as it is nearly one oclock the Czar is going to bed.” He went,

Marquis Tseng, the accomplished China- man, writes that Europe, once inhabited by wild tribes, in all probability derived its literature and political systems from Asia, whence they gradually spread west- ward; and this he considers an explanation of the resemblance between European habits and ways and those of China in olden times. For example, in the west articles of household use are invariably carved and engraved with taste and neat- ness, the idea being derived from the in- scriptions found upon goblets, cups, and like utensils of antique date in China,

The following story from the land of office holders indicates that the time to meet an Ohio man is when he has battled with the favorite beverage of his state :— Nicholas Longworth, ex-judge of the Ohio supreme court, the only son of the late Joseph Longworth, by whose will he has just come into property in Cincinnati worth $10,000,000, was one of the principals yesterday in a little episode which is the talk of the clubs. Judge Longworth, in a slightly convivial mood, stepped into the studio of Matt Morgan, the well-known artist, to meet some friends. He wore a magnificent ceataltin overcoat and cap of the same mate- jrial, for which he recently paid $450. | Forney, the artist, was in the stadio at the time. The two men stood in the middle of the room eugaged in conversation, while |Matt Morgan, from his desk in a corner, \drew arapid sketch of Jadge Longworth
