In the heyday of his career he had married a fair and gente girl, who, had she iived, might have changed his future aud made him happy in his home; but she was suatched from him shorty aiter the birth oi a daughter, and he returned with Keeuer zest than beiore to tie amusements from which the influence of Mrs, Falconer had, in a measure, withdrawn him, anny #a!coner was placed with a sister of her mother, aud her father almost forgot ler existence. she grew into a fair and winsome maiden, happy in the home in which she had been placed, unconscious of the dark future that lay before ner, At the age of seventeen her aunt died, leaving fer a smali iude- pendence, and Miss Falconer was removed by her iather from the gay town in which she had go long lived ‘@ preside over his disorderly home, A girl of reiined tasies could tnd little that was congenial in that home, and Fantiy recoiied irom it with an aversion her fatuer toox little pains to over- come. He found aa elderly woinan of staid charac- er aod respectabie antecedents tor her compauioa, and thought his whole duty to his motherless daugh- ter was accomplished. Among the gay companions Mr. Falconer collected around hin were many men younger than himself, and among them was one hamed Harry Hurst, who boasted that te bad never yet faiied wo win the affec- tions of any woman he desired to fascinate. Hear- ing of this poast tus host significantly said to him:— “There 13 one on wifom your powers are not to be tried, Barry Hurst; remember that. ‘Tne girl 1 refer to nas a destluy before her. My English cousin is on his way to this country to visit my daughter, and if ‘wings go pleasantly with them the two branches of the iamily will be united, and !'an may bea countess me Clement Falconer ts the heir of his mother’s other, and he is “arl of Rochdale, with a handsome reut roll, Besides, the marriage of Clement and Fanny, who are the last survivors of their race, wouid be the fulfilment of an old prophecy.” ‘the youu man to whom this caugou was ad- was handsome enough to win the favor of any one of Eve's daugiiters, and, in spite of his vanity, he po: many good points of character. He was generous and warm-hearted, capable of strong attacnment, but incapable of sell-sacrifice. He bad been strongly attracted by the fair Fauny, and the intimation that a rival was about to appear on the scene only added strength to the fancy he had taken to the neglected daughter of the house. ac cd elevating his eyebrows iturst careleasiy re- pleds— “‘Forewarned is forearmed,’ you know. I hope that you do not suppose me capanie of trifling with your daughter, Mr. Falconer, whatever | may have done with others.”” “I would not advise you not to attempt it; that is all,” was the curt reply. “I have lately remarked that you are more attentive to Fao than I like, She is romantic, as most ‘is are, and you are deucedly handsome, Hurst. 1 thought it fair to you and to ber to tell you that nothing can come of @ graud passion between you two. My daughter ri jag as ichoose, and her tute is already set- tle Have you informed Miss Falconer of the destiny in store for her?” asked Hurst, with perfect cooiness, “You are very considerate to warn me oif dangerous ground, but | think she should not be Kept in tue dark as to the brilliant prospects opening before Ir. ‘fhe elder man shortly replied:— “It will be tume enough to = my plans to her when Clement has seen her and had opportunity to make himself agreeable to her. As to the impres- sion she will produce | have uo fears, for she 18 a8 pretty a little wild flower as any man would care to gather. There ts the bell for dinner. 1 hope you quite undersiand me, Hurst?’ “Oh, periectly—{ shail be careful to avoid doing anytiing to alsplease you $o far as Miss Falconer is concerned."? If this conversation had uever taken pince, the re- sult might have been digferont; but the want ot tact displayed by the over-anxious father defeaced the pians he had 80 carefully matared. ‘The he 3 man withdrew the delicate attentions e had lately lavished on Panny Falconer, and she jowed pique and surprise at his defection. iurst was the only one of her father's le to whom she had shown any favor, aud failing away from his allegiance was a shock to her pride, and in sume slight degree a trouble to her heart. To win him back was her one thought, and her feminine wiles to that effect awakened in the heart of her admirer @ deep aud genuine passion. He found means to make this known to her without in- curring the observation of her father. He met ler in her walks, betrayed to her the expected arrival of her cousin and tue resnit that was antici follow. He pleaded his own cause with the pas- sionate ardor of a lover, and won it. Fanny ima- gined hersetf the heroine of @ romance, and antict- pated persecution atthe hands of her father uf sue refused to give herseif to her unkuown cousin. She thought her lover the handsomest and most fascinating of men, What were rank and weaith when placed in comparison with a life passed with Harry Hurst, even in obscurity? She auswered the Guestion, a8 most girls of her would have done, by vowing eternal constancy to ler adocer. CHAPTER Il. THE DISOWNED DALONTER. Clement Faicouer arrived in due time, He wasa bluff looking Englishman, about thirty-five years of purey. with @ frank mauner that at times was aimost beteque. He admired the delicate of his* ir wae roposed bride, and supPosing that tue HA setiled and Panny ready to pick ap the handkerchief when he deigned to throw it, he made few lover-like advances and fewer pretty speeches to the lady he had crossed the Atiantic towin. ‘To come, to see, to conquer,” was his idea of his pre- sent venture; but Fanny had no itea of being taken in of tn this indifferent fashion, Sue had iacened from fj to the breathiugs of passionase adorativi ps she thougat Touched with divine clo- quence, and she turned from this matter-of-fact wooer with a feeling little short of loathing, To ito her father would, sho knew, be ase- Jess, The frat effect of her remonstrance would be im iment in her own room, from oy not be permitted to emerge until her consent to give her hand to her consin had been wring from her.

But Marion Bertrand Lr ey him a different les- son. Her dark, brilliant uty, her passionate nature, was @ new revelation to him; aud nefore the calm, middle aged man was aware of his danger, be wus made captive by this young’ syren, married her priv: and remained in tomestic felicity till he was suinmoned to his native ‘and by the illness of his uncie, Lord Rochdale. He sailed from a Southern port, ieaving lis wife behind | (ilhe should be abie to reconcile his aristocretic connections to his plebian murriage. The vessel on which he sailed was wrecked and every soul on bourd was tost, Marion was repudiated by her hus- band’s connections, and the claims of her baby boy were set aside in favor of ayounser sister of Lord Rochdale. In a few years Marion married a Mr. Melrose, removed with him to Virgin‘a and settled ona valuable farm within afew miles of the Vale, where the vind etive oid Mir. Falconer was passing iis soliwry life, Marlon was aware of the connec- tlon between that gentleman aud her former husband but she rarely spoke of it. Her young son bore the name of her present husbond. and as Clement Mel- rose Ne was known to tiie neighborhood, Within a mile of her residence was an humble cot- tage, with a jew acres of badly keptiand around it, which Was tue home of Mrs. Hurst, the discarded daagiter of Mr. Falconer. The old man had kept his word, and every overture wward @ reconciliation was harshiy reinzed. Tre fortune of Hurst was small, and trom year to year it diminished ander his careful inanagemeat. He was nota man of busiuess habits, and he bad ittle steadiness of character. He loved his wife and was always kind and gentle with her, but both awoke from their romantic dream of iove in acottage to find low utteriy they were unsuited to the life they had embraced. Poverty came swiftly evongh, bat love did not iorsake then they clung together through ail and bore thelr har ships as only united learts can bear tein; for Love wil make endurable a thing which else Wonid overset the brain or breal the heart, Utter ruin came at length; and, in a state of des- peration Mrs. Hurst took her only surviving chiid, Mary, @ lovely girl of ti{teen, and set out to make a last appeal to her father. But she found the old man ag relentless as fate itself. He drove them from his presence with bitter taunts, and: finally threatened to set his bloodhounds on them i they did not instantly leave his premises. They turned to go, when the merciless old man cried out: “stop—iet me say a few parting words; as they are the last I shall ever address to either of you, you may spare Lime to listen to them.” His daughter paused as if spellbound, sustaining her trenbiing form on the arm of her excited child. Mr. Falconer pitilessiy went on: “Like me, you have but one child, and she a daughter. May she bring home to you the sorrow and disappointment I have suffered through you. ae sne follow her own biind will in defiance of you, and find what you have found—misery and degrada- tion as her rons the clulld of such parenis merits no better fate.” Having uttered these terrible words he wheeled and suddenly sisapenret rag 4 the thick snrub- » Whistiing his dog to foilow hi Hurst sunk down compieteiy overwhelmed.

A HOPELESS DEATHDED, Such was the retros; that passed throngh the mind of that old man, hoVering ou the brink of the wtecnange. As the morning light reel to is room he knew It was the last time his eyes would unclose to behold it, and he was not sorry thatit was 80, Life had become a weary burden to hin aud he ‘was willing to lay it down in that fast slumber from which he believed there was no awakening. He was attended by Mra. Ashford. a faded and disheartened looking woman of middic age. Mrs. Ashiord had been the principal of a fourishing seminary be- fore her martinge and had accumuiaied several thousand dollars. Mr. Ashford was one of her as- sistant teactrers and had married her for her moncy. She had loved him because he looked like a corsair Ashford wasa rant and a and was a fine scholar, re a He had into his possession and reduced her to domestic siavery, and was now meditating to Europe with all her wealth, intending to leave her ca their little daughter Fantasia to shift for them- ee ives, bd Ashford hated his wife and also his child; and the latter returged his hate, Fanty, as Mrs, Ashtord called the cflid, was a bright, daring j1ttle creature, and the idol of her mother’s heart.
