She took wath her to-London Hannah trom generosity, and ’Possum oat of love. ¢he was not unhappy in her new home. Ai- thongh ebe ditliked Arthur Popinjiy, she Joved Katie: yet for & time she was natarally ad. y Atlepgth her littleheart began to rec ever Ineersibly the sunshine crept over her life’s prospect. There camea brighter bleom upon Ubat soft giri’s cDeexs, and the maiden’s step Teguined its elasticity. Ettie took music ies- sons again As spring came on, reopened her portfolio, aud revived that German. Thank God. intense sorrow does not inst long with any of us. Bat there was one feeling of her heart which Dad not waited even this short time for restor- ation. Thé jocket, after all, bad only been set aside fortwodays! The Blue Boy,” she often thought of b “Biue Boy!” she loved the name. The lad’s first new oniform and beaming young face had putitinto hertather’s head to bestow the title, which was horrowed from afamous picture, ae the reader knows. It snired bom, Ettie thought, so well. The cclor of far, open fea, and of cloudless skies, epoke truly of his large pure heart. Boy” he 8 most be, “purexcellence.” Noisy, af- Jeetionste, cid pack of impulses. Ettie wrote to him in the spring. To her S@mazement Mr. Prior objected to this. She did not however oppose ber guardian, except by quietly taking ber own way. The letter, for the most part, was wot wanting in occult tender- Bers: but there was a phrase of clear and con- centrated savagery at its close. Ettie mas: be guilty of inflicting just one torment; soshe held ber pen as though it had been a dagver and scratched asore place upon Blue Boy’s heart in this postcrip:: “Arthur, who is sitting near me, while! write, desires to be very kindly remembered.” She never told bow impatient she felt at the Moment, of Arthur's dandy dress and mean- nothing face, and of all his conventional ele- gancies, and opinions, and looks, eacn stolen trom tome otiier person. There ts, as we all know, peculiar pleasure in driving a virulent ating right into our darling’s heart; so Ettie did not tell Bine Boy what she really thought about Artbur Popiry1y Prior. How she wished afterward that she had deneso! Summer declined and “sea-side” came to ba talkea cf One morning Ettie came down to breakfast in better spirits than usual. She enteres the breakfast-parior with light step, carelessly bomming ‘Weel may the keel row.” She was locking forward to Filey and freedom Witb keen young pleasure. The Times nevrs- paper lay felded upon the table; Ettie took it up and carelessly ran hereye over tha col- umnes, which appeared dryer than usual. It Was not long before the heading of a paragraph awakened witDin her a feeling of eager, fright. ened interest, and bleached her rosy littie face into & hue of ghostly whiteness. FIRE AT SEa. . ‘The paragraph thus introduced ran as fol- lows -— “Her Majerty’s ship “Conqneror,’ arrived in Ply montb Sound this morning,trom the Mauri- tives, reports the total loss, by fire, of the ship “Ocean Ripple” (Sydney te London), in lat. 42 S. long.25 E. The “Conqueror” has on board the second mate with ten of thecrew belonging to the ill-tated vessel. These men assertthat they are tbe only survivors.” Ettie’s terrified eyes ran quickly over the dreadfai sentence, and then, overwhelmed, the ebild awooned and fell. When she came to herself, Arthur supported ber headand was bathing her temples. As. sistance from him at this time seemed to aggra- vate her pain. With what power she could exert, che raised and disengaged herself. Her appearance at thia moment was singu- lar and beautiful. Her eyes, always fall of Intelligence shone with a _ preternatural Iustre, as though they were able te distern objects invisible to others. Her brown Bair disordered inher recent swoon, telia rich wavy cascade over her shoulders. Her cheeks were radiant with a peculiar gbastly pallor. A Wordless stillness, or flood of tears, would now have seemed natural. Bat the talxative, tearless unrest which Ettie exhibited, was anomalous andalarming She paced the room quickly putting into plain words her most dis- | iressing thoughts. . «Blue Boy is dead,” she sald “He was burnt to dearh or drowned. Nobdédy was there to comfort him. None of you here understood what we were to each other. Noone can con- soleme. He is gone, and I am left alone for ever. On! cruel!” © Each intarn attempted to comfort her, but Withoutsnccess. She walked tor hours, and would not hear of rest or food. «He was burnt then,” she repeated a hun- dred times, ‘burnt or drowned. My worst fears have all come true: I am left alone. First mother went—then papa—now Blue Boy! ob! cruel—erael!” Frem that morning there bezan with Ettie a painful, pnzeliog dream. Once, only—for long, Jong mouths—she seemed awDile lo wakefrom it. And that was one day when cousin Jack came suddenly into the room with tears filling Bis big eyee, and when he took her on nis knee, as in years before, and kissed her,and put his arm around her waist, and let her head tay vpon his ethoulder: and when he told her he did not give up hope yet. and that he believed Blue Boy—the strong, spirited fellow! would be sure to escape if any one could and that tr ‘was most likely he stayed on board to the last, like the braye English boy that he was, and #0 those who had been in a hurry to save their own lives had not known of his safety, To hear such words seemed like a brief fwakenipg. But the dream returned: and al- .Rovgh kind consin Jack often afterwards spoke in the same straim, his consolations soon came to be powerless, ike all others. Avd then all at Mr. Prior's. seemed to grow cold towards Etie. Why was this! Mr. Prior himeelt, it was trae, ‘humored ali her whims, but inastrargeand chilling way Mrs. Prior was continually glancing at her suspicionsly, and seldom took notice of her remarks. Katie meyer came io ber room as formerly. What did it ali mean? And the dreary unvaried obligato to these enigmatical combina'ions was the ever present thought, “Heis burnt or arowned, and I am lett alone.” “The peculiarity of manner towards Ettie in- creased. Why didevery one waten her? Why Might she not be allowed to follow berown courses unnoticed, like other people ?
