THE FOUNTAIN. Out of the shadows of the garden two people came into the moonlight, and leaned over the chain that encir- cled the small fountain, into whose basin a marble Hene continually emptied her ever-brimming cup. As the girl looked down into the water her fingers trifled with a lily, and she remarked that one of the lezves had been broken, It 1s strange how we notice such small things when we are thinking of greater ones; ye:. and remember them, too, Eyer after Lina’ Michel remembered that broken lily leaf, and the fluttering reflection in the water, and the scent of the roses, and the few wind-blown drops that were cast upon her neck trom the cup of the Hebe at the fountain in that old garden at Munich on that sweet midsummer night. The young men stood very rear her. He had a sweet, grave tace, and eyes that were as soft and dark as a ga- zelle’s. They were not unlike,these two; both were spirituelle—both were dark, both were romantic. The tie of biood was between them, for they were cousins, though, as the Scotch say, ‘far away cousins,” and bearing different names, they had been brought up under one roof, and Lina Michel’s mother had been all the mother the little orphan, Henri Kleber, knew. When after a little silence, she turned her eyes toward -him, she looked into his without reserve, just as a sister might. “It is very cruel of grandpapa,’’ she said. ‘It is very cruel, Henri. These old people think only ot money, Why can they not let us have peace when we could be so happy? It is such an absurd idea. You and I to marry each other! We are like brother and sister. Nothing can change that!’’ ‘But we are not brother and sis- ter,” said he, ‘‘and even first cousins marry, I have been thinking that—’’ “Ob, don’t, don’t, don’t!’ she exclaimed. ‘Henri, for heaven’s sake, don’t begin to be as bad asthe rest. Be my dear brother still. It would be frightful tor us to marry. Besides, one should fall in love first. Should not one? Think how absurd to marry without that.’’ “But I like you so much,’’ said Henri. ‘‘Dear cousin Lina, let us think about :t.”” © I will not,” said she. “If you desire to quarrel, you can talk about such foolish tancies, not else. Of course, you like me; of course,I hke you, and that 1s just why it can’t be. Grandpa ought to be ashamed of himself.’’ She paused a moment, and then turned her lips toward her cousin. “Give me a kind kiss, brother Henri,”’ said she, ‘‘and never,never, never speak of this absurdity again. As for marrying, I shall never marry any one. Why should I, when I detest the thought?” Henri gave a little sigh. “I shall never marry either cousin Lina,”’ said he, ‘but you see we are not brother and sister. You can’t make it so by saying so.” Then he kissed her, and they walked back into the house, where Grandpapa Kleber and Granduncle Michel had just settled the matri- monial prospects of these two young cousins to their own satistaction. The result of the young people’s rebellion was a quarrel. Lina escaped very easily. It was only proper for a girl to be coy; but the young man was so beset with reproaches that he finally defied his relatives, much as Ajack did the lightning. In his case the lightning had the best of it, and the end ct all this was that one fine morning Henri Kleber found himselt turned out into the world to seck his fortune, and long ere his.cousin’s black eyes were Opened upon the dawn, had lett Munich and his furious relatives be hind him. From that day nothirg was heard of him by his triends in} me as it by ma Munich for many a long year. | The old people were untor Grandfather Kleber died and le his money to Lina, wh refused two excellent matches, Granduncle Michel died also, and Lina became yetricher. At last her | beloved mother also left her. She png remained Lina Michel, though ze} u had already her beauty and her wealth had brought many suitors to her door. The love that she had thought nec- essary to marriage—the mysterious, wonderful love—had never come to her; and now she believed that it never would, tor she was eight-and- twenty. But somehow, eyer since the morning when she awoke and found that her cousin Henn had gone, ter memories of him had grown more sweet and tender with every year. She travelel two years and heard nothing of her cousin Henri, and at last tound herselt in Paris at the height of its gay season, and there rested, a dove whu had not found her olive branch. There is no place to dream like a picture gallery ; no place like Paris for pictures. Lina Michel spent many hours with her eyes fixed on painted faces that she never saw for the living tace that haunted her; but one day she awoke to a wondrous interest in a small picture which hung in a small deal- er’s gallery in which ‘he found her self. It was a simple scene, A moonlit garden, the distance dying into un- defined shadows, a fountain into which Hebe emptied her cup, and by the fountain’s brim a youth and a young girl. The moonlight kissed her face. His was not seen. He bent toward her, lover-like. His hand touched hers, and hers rested on one of the little posts that held an encircling chain about the fountain. These were crowned with lillies,and, as she looked closer, she saw that one had a broken leaf. It was the garden of her grandtather’s old house at Munich. And this was more than chance. Was there such a thing as magic, or had some artist watched Henri and herselt on the night when she had made that terrible mistake! For that was Henri, and surely that black-haired girl was not unlike her- selt. “Is this picture tor sale?’’ asked the dealer. He shrugged his shoulders. “I think the artist is mad,’’ he said. ‘This is the first picture any one has wanted to buy, and he re- tuses to sell it. Perhaps a price sufficient will tempt him, but if I give his address the lady will re- member my commission ?’’ The lady promised faithfully to do so. “It isa wretched street—he is very poor,”’ said the dealer, and gave her the number written on acard. **The fitth floor,’ he said, with a shrug of his shoulders. Lina Michel stepped into her car- riage and soon, tollowed by her maid, climbed the stairs of a dingy dwelling, rapped upon the door that bore the word “Atelier” upon it. In a moment a man with a long beard, who held a palette in his nand, opened the door tor her, and stood regarding the apparation of a veiled lady attended by her maid,with some surprise. “I speak to the painter of the picture at M. *s,’’ said Fraulein M'chel, “The garden and fountain. I desire to buy it at any Price.’” **Madame.” replied the artist, ‘I regret to say that picture 1s not to be sold.’” i ‘But I must have it,’’ said the lady. “I am nich; anything, any price.”” “TI am poor,” said the artist, **but it has no price.’’ she “Listen, sir, said the lady. “It is more than a picture that I want— itis areminiscence. It is like a—a place I kaow. I beg tor it. plore you to sell it to me.” ‘“*Madame,”’ said the artist, “1 see you have a heart. 1 will speak Plainly.

And as he ceased she threw back her veil and held both her hands toward him. ‘“*Heari!’? she sighed, ‘Henri! Oh, Henri, do you not know me?’’ And then he had clasped her in his arms aad she fell sobbing to his bosom. When they stood beside the foun- tain in the old garden in Municn again they were man and wi'e. A Building For Working Women. Warner Bros., the w. l-kaowa corset manufacturers, have com- menced the ction of a building in Bridgeport, Conn., to cost $35,000, tor the free use of the 1,000 girls employed in their factory. The building will be about seventy feet square and three stories high. The first story will be devoted to a res- taurant, where good meals will be furnished at cost. The second story will contain a large reading room and library, conversation room, music room, bath room and Iabratory. The third story wiil ccntain a large hall, seating 600, asmall hall, seating 150, despite and class reoms, where evening classes in singing, penmanship, drawing, fancy need'e work, &c., will be taught. The building will be under the care of a competent matron, and will be tree to all girls in Warner Brothers’ employ. It will be the first building of this kind erected in this country, and will without doubt prove the practical wisdom and benevolence ot its proprietors.
