The piano was out of tune, and, alto- gether, the place seemed unfriendly. But the two who stood there in silence on that chill November even- ing, were of interesting appearance. He was a handsome man of medium height, firm build, and fair complex- ion; she, little more than a girl in her teens, slight, lithe, dark-eyed and pale. Her lovely, gold-brown hair somewhat enlivened her otherwise melancholy aspect, for she wore a plain black dress, with only white at the throat. They stood thus for some moments; then the girl sighed faintly, and her companion raised his face from the fire and looked at her with a curieus expression of mingled tenderness and regret. Her own countenance showed naught save despair. ““Poor litlle girl!” said Harris sadly. ‘‘God unly knows I am sorry ‘we must part!” ““Hush!” she cried suddenly, as if some one were coming; and they lis- tened, but all was still. Having nothing to say, she made no re%!y. hey had the parlor quite tc them- selves, The majority of the boarders were sober, married people, who at once after dinner retired to their own apartments, ‘‘I'his is my last night,” said Har- ris, after a pause; ‘‘shall we not take ome last walk together?” “If you choose,” she replied list- lissly, then turned ard went to her room for her wraps. He understood this and did the same for himaelf, so that he awaited her when she came down in a neat jacket and fur hat. She had no ower to resist. Poor, pretty Delilah Saunders—Mrs. Delilah Saunders— well for you that Royal Harris was an honorable man! ‘When they had left the house, he drew her arm within his own, and said for the third time in the past half hour-- ‘‘My last night here!” ‘“‘And we shall never meet again,” the gitl said slowly, ‘‘Never!” She pronounced the last word &3 Tho Specific Medicine 18 vold by all druggists 8081 per packge, or 0 packeges. for 85, of will be sent frea by mall on rect piot the money, by addressing = THEGRA {EDICINE CO., Busalo, K'Y, 1t you ares man of lo terstolling overmid night work, to tore brain nervel waste, use Hop B, trom any tow 1 1F" y0u aro mar- oung, sulfering frow g 0 8 bed of eiok Blttera, Whoever youare whenover you feel f that your system needs cleansing, ton- ing or stimulating withouténtoxioating, ® tak Biiters, B youdys pepiin, > Ridney) O ursnary com| bow diver o nerves You wikl be) cured it you use| Hop Bitters! 1¢youarestm| » k and ‘f‘é?.' frited, try| To Nervous Sutterers THE QREAT EUROPEAN REMEDY, Dr, J, B, Bimpson's Specific DIEIDXCOIDTEL I8 1 & posjtive cure for to) rhes, Bemina Weokness, Lmpotancy, and al! diseses Tesaltis from Eell-Abtise, ag ‘Monta) Anxioty, ‘Lo ’ § Nea Memory, Pains 11 th Siie, ani discasss ,4.' * % 18 - =4 phat lead to Conmmption {neanity an carlygrere |Tho Bpecific Medicine s 7" 49 [belng used 44 |with wonder- | ful success. = Pamphlots b fox them and get full par- Frice, Bpocific, $1.00 per package, or slx pack: agen,darn00.

Tell me about she said, as if she woul the lubiiect. ““Well, I first take a long trip b rail to Grand Haven, where I lhlfi meet my family; then we take the steamer for Chicago, and go on thence by rail to the west.” He had felt her shiver at the words “m; family.” our journey,” {d fli]n 0]1‘!{[;0 denly. “Yes, I am cold—-TI think--we had --better—go back!” They turned back to the great gra poarding house. At the door he too her hand held it tightly. ‘I leave at eight in the morning; we must szy ‘good-by’ now.” *'Good-by," Delilah said faintly, He drew her into his arms, “‘Fate has been hard to us; don’t ou think sol Ah, welll We might ave been happy. Poor little girl! Here I am goirg off for months to the west! When I come back you will be gone! Ah, well!” " He kissed her once tenderly, gently, without passion, and let her go. But that first, last kiss burnt upon her lips until the day of her death;she was guilty in ger own mind, and would not strive to excuse herself, That was all; he opened the door with his latch-key, and they entered as thouf;h nothing had occurred, and sought their respective apartments, Harris busied himself with last pre- parations forfhis journey, and thus, in a measure, managed to divert his thoughts, Oceasionally,- however, an expression of deep gloom darkened hi;lfine face, and he sighed rogret- fully, Delilah, on the other hand, climbed the many stairs without a pause, opened her room door, and threw her- self, rather than slepped, inside. She turned the gas as high as possible, looked the door, and gave way to an utter abandonment, @ poor young creature sobbed pitifully; great tears ed of preparing myself fora good, useful life, to find such utter misery and desolation? I have neglected my work—1I eannot touch my tools again! What is the use of my pretending to study? Why did not God give me a husband I could always have loved and respected? Did not He kncw how little I knew?” Then, growing quieter, she reviewed her experience of the past two months, She remen.bered how she had come to leave her western home to study art and receive instruction in the great city—such instruction as could not be found elsewhere, for her's was an un- common sort of talent., She remem- bered how distasteful her life at home had grown; how her husband had con- ducted himself. George Saunders, though by no means a drunkard, was a little too fond of the social glass and of jovial companions,. He had spent many evenings from home, while r Deli- lah sat sorrowful alone. She had no heart for social enjoyments; how could she have! At a late hour it had been her husband’s custom to return, some- what under the influence of liquor, profess much affectiou for his wife, caress her many times with loud, half- drunken kisses, and becomo violently angry should ehe shrink from his em- braces, as her nature prompted. Out of this life she had seemed to see but one escape; to take up her study of art once more—to go East for a winter and work hard. ‘‘Perhaps,” she had sighed, “George will reform by spring; and perhaps if I sucoeed he will take pride in me and do different- ly. Saunders having carelessly consent- ed, Delilah had come to New York, obtained a pleasant boarding-place, and begun work in earnest. Her thoughts now went back even She remembered farther than this. herself a little child—an only child. She remembered her delicate, beauti- ful mother, who played the harp and sang sweet ballads; her father, a man free from vice of any description— perhaps a trifle worldly in some no- tions, but adoring his beautiful wife and child. She remembered his voice, his face, his manner, the little stories he used to tell; how he often said he had named his daughter Delilah be- cause it was the name of the cleverest woman in the Bible—and his wife de- She remem- bered how her father would wink at sired a scriptural name. the friends present when he said this, and how her mother would murmur in gentle deprecation— “‘Oh, Robert, how can you?” She remembered how father and mother had years since passed away, and she had been consigned to the care of a distant connection, who took Are you cold?’ he asked sud-|pj little interest in her, and allowed her to marry George Saunders before she hardly knew him, She remembered how George had taken possession of her little fortune, and how she had not dared to ask for money since that time, but had to accept what he chose to give her in his pleasant mo- ments, She remembered how contented sh had come to be in the pretty little upper chamber at this place. How in. nocently had become her acquaintance with this man—this married man, Royal Harris! This man whom she loved, who loved her, and at the thought of whose departure she was suffering two-fold agony— the agony of letting him go, and the agony of remorse that she should sin so greatly a8 to give her loye where she had no right to, She wondered a little about his wife; was it possible that that wife loved him more tenderly than she did? Some one, it might have been Mrs, Balch, a fellow-boarder, had told her that Mr., Harris’ wife was ‘‘not bright;” he had married very young, and had made some great mistake; but he was very good to the simple- minded little thing. The night wore on, but Delilah found no rest. When morning came, she saw from her window the carriage dnve him nwni to catch the westward bound train; then she went down pale and dizzy to breakfast. She spent the day in a state of leth- argy, almost; nothing seemed to rouse her. A letter came from the hus- band; she scarcely glanced through it. 1t seemed to her that he had said somethiag about starting for the east on business, and that she might ex- pect him at any hour almost atter the letter's arrival, But it mattered little to her; she felt that she was now less his wife than if she were lying dead before m, And still another day had slipped by; then she heard something at the breakfast table that sent the blood with a bound to her heart, This was merely a few words spoken by Philli Buckley, another boarder, and a cler| in the wholesale house which Harris had gone west to repesent, and also & friend of his, He was speaking to the lady of the house, “I heard from Mr, Harris this morning. He telegraphed from Grand Haven,” “Then I presume he is safe with his loved ones,” said Mrs, French, kindly; she was a geutle little English woman, with yellow-white hair, “ sup) e 80," laughed Mr, Buck- le{. ‘‘They take the steamer for () lie‘ngo this evening, then go on by rall,” ‘I should think it hardly safe for lake travel now,” said Mrs. French, T am told those westernlakes are quite ltorl“n,y.” “Well, they will not enjoy a very smooth trip to say the least.” Delilah could bear no more. In a few moments she was again alone in her own chamber, A drizeling rain began in the after- noon; when night had come the storm sobbed passionately against the little windows. Delilah rose and stood facing herself in the mirror; she drew the drab win- dow shades closer, and listened and shivered as if a voice called to her from out in the night— ‘Delilah—Delilah!" Yet she dared not sob or sigh; she to dinner, thought T would inquire if you were ill,” » Dellah hesitated for an excuse, then spoke a little hoarsely— “I have a severe cold, and there are neuralgio pains in my face. daresay they will soon leave me." a“flh, indeed! I am very sorry. nnot I do something for you! Would you like hot water or anything?” “*No, ihanks; 1 ahnl{ retire and -Isekx will probably cure me.” ‘*Well, good-night; I am sorry you are ill.” Delilah onee more fastoned the door, and stood thinking and staring at the broad blaze of gaslight beside the mirror, “‘How much longer can I endure this?” she asked herself with a moan, “If T could only sleep to-night—I have not slept for three nights—I should be calm to.morrow. Then I could repent and forget all, and be a true woman once more.” She longed for an opiate. Suddenly o thought came to her, She remem- bered 4 small bottle of chlors! which was on the shell in her clothes-closet. Some previous occupant had left it there, but it seemed to have boen seourcly sealed. She got it, however, and took a small dose, then threw herself upon the bed. An hour later she arose and felt her way unsteadily to the drossing-case, where she had left the bottle. She put the little phial again to her lips and tasted its contents, Then she crept back to the bed and finally slept. The morning came up bitterly cold; sharp winds had disarranged little patches of anow to which the rain had turned some two hours before, until it had grown too cold for even snow. At broakfast Mrs. Saunders’ seat was vacant. Not a great while'after a carriage rolled up to the door and a' stranger alighted and rang the bell, which Mrs. French, being in the hall, answered in person. The new comer was A man who might have been called handeome; yetthere were traces of dissipation 1n his countenance, if one but glanced closely. It was George Saunders, ' Mrs, French said she would herself show him to his wife'sroom. They climbed the stairs quickly, and Saunders rapped eagerly at the door. There was no answer from within, ‘‘She is out early,” he said a little vexed. ‘‘Oh, she is in the house, I am cer- tain, but in somebody else’s room,” quickly rejeined the landlady. The chambermaid was coming up ;lha stairs, Mrs. French turned to er. *‘Ann, have you been in Mrs. Saun- ders’ room yet?" “No, ma'am; she isn't up, I think."” Saunders rapped once again, this time loudly. An uneasy expression cropt into his face. “I will search for l:xler. llA‘i:t’ ® our pass-key. wi r. g‘%n{ien in to wu’t for his wife.” Bhe opened the door and they went in, * * * * * * And so it wasall over! Hours later Saunders, sitting in another room, buried his face in his hands and vain- ly strove to put away the picture which seemed constantly before him. The picture of that slim, still shade lying upon the unturned bedt the fair white face, the blue about the eyes and mouth, the cold tear-dro neath the lashes that should no quiver! “God?” he said, ‘“What a meet- ing!” %a could only hear again the shriek of horror uttered by Mrs, French— the cries of the servant—the rush of other feet—the words of the physi- ciun called as mere form—*‘Dead for hours.” He saw looks of curious compassion in the strange faces about him., Was it a real whisper, or had it been his fancy that some one said— “‘He cannot care so much--to let her come so far away from home, so young!” The house grew very still; he sat and thought to himself, but shed no tears. The door was open a little way, and some one passed by through the hall-— “Such a sad acci dent!” That night hejook his wife's re- mains home for interment. And so Delliah Saunders passed out of the great gray boarding house, more his 1n her coffin, than if her own feet had borne her. * fongor * * * “T have heard some rad news,”{said Philip Buckley to Mrs. French, a week or ten days after Delilah SBaun- der’s death, ‘‘Poor Harris! He took passage with his family on that ill- fated steamer that was lost outin Lake Michigan—the ‘Arcana!’ " A murmer cf shocked surprise ran around the table from Ii}x to lip, “‘And was not saved?" “‘No one was saved!” “Poor Harris?” said Mr. Balch, slowly. He was a fine fellow!” The eyes of the ladies grew moist with tears, There was a mournful silence, and some one sighed audibly, “Well since his wife and little ones were with him, they will. be spared all heart-ache,” said Mrs. French gravely, A Mr, Buckley took from his lap a western newspaper, which he offered her, saying he presumed it contained a8 correct an account of the disaster a8 ever could be known, ““That makes two of our number that have passed away very lately,” Mrs, Balch said to her neighbor, ‘Poor Mrs. Baunders! They were great fricnds, by the way, weren't they?” “Girent friends!” said the other lady, with a peculiar emphasis. Bhe was a small, sharp-featured wo- man with keen gray eyes, and had roomed next to Delilah, She said no more at the time, though Mrs, Balch looked wonderingly at her with clear, honest eyes. And then some one called attention to the coincidence that Mrs. had died the vel? night the ‘‘Arcana’ went out to meet its doom in the fury of those western waters! * REFERENCES : OMAHA NATIONAL BANK, STEELE.
