A TRAVELER'S STORY, Told by a Transvaal Camp-Fire My father was a well-to-do farmer in England. I was the only child, and my mother died shortly after I was born. Our land was rented from a very large landed proprietor, a man who had made his fortune in business. He bought the estate about the time of my birth, and came occasionally to live at the large house attached to it, bringing wife and children with him, His wife was a very kind but very homely person who was liked by all the tenants. She was very kind to me, and used to have me a great deal at the ‘‘Hall,” as the house was called, When I first remember her child- ren, there_were three of them—two boys and a girl; but before many years past all but the youngest child died, and then Mrs, Clark, as I will call her gave up going to Manchester with her husband, and always remained at the Hall, thinking the country air benefi- cial yor her little girl. The child’s name was Lucy, and I thought her perfect. She was buta fow years younger than I, and she and I were constant playmates in our holiday hours, My father sent me to a neighboring grammar school, but kind Mrs, Clark often supplemented the teaching I got there by allowing me to profit by the lessons given to Lucy by a very accomplished govern- es8s. It was in this way that a great love of art was developed in me. I had some natural talent for drawing and painting, and I eagerly availed myself of every opportunity of cultivating it. Lucy and I never spent hnpslar hours than those in which we used to go out sketching together. It all rises before me even now like & picture: the ‘morning sun glinling through the trees and checkering our path as we wound through ' the wood; the discussion as to the best point of view. for our .sketches; the calui fof the noon, when we used to stop our inting and have a picnio, feeling as 1f we deserved some rest after such hard work, and then our pretence of diligence when we used to say: “Oh, this will nevef do, wasting so much light!” and begin to paint again with renewed ardor until sunset. Then how delightful it used to be to, wander slowly homeward, until we came to a certain stile where we nlwn{l bade each other good-by, .un- less T ‘were invited to go to spend the evening at the hall. There was a tan- gle of dog-roses and ' honeysuckle all around that stile, and a ploughed field beyond, with the little spire of the village church showing in the distance, and the rooks were always cawing in the tall treee close by when Lucy and I used to say good hight, The governess or Mrs. Clark was always with us, or I believe we should have kissed each other; but that was put a stop to when Lucy’s tenth birth- day came, and we marked her tenth birthday with a black oross in our memories a8 a consequence, Looking backI often wonder why they let us grow up so closely bound together. I suppposeitnever occurred to them that any unhappiness might come from it. . 'The farmer's son and the rich heiress were sure to be sep- arated by circumstances as soon as she should be introduced into society, and in the meantime' I aided in making her happy, and was happy myself. I suppose Mra, Olark looked no further, and Mr, Clark let his wife haye her own way about all things that did not interfere with his own plans, and his plans were chiefly commercial, Lucy was sixteen, and I was one- and-twenty, when Mr. Clark one day astonished me by telling me that he was going ‘o speak to my father about sending me to Italy to study art, He sent for me in his library to tell me this, I sat in his arm chair in front of the writing table, on which lay numbers of papers, and I stood before him. Idid not know him well, for when he was at the hall I did not go there much, and he called me ‘‘young man,” and spoke of my father as ‘‘a very worthy man, who has striven to give you every advantage his limited means allow.” It struck a chill tt rough me, although my hear: leaped at the idea of going to Italy, The hardest part of it all was leav- ing I.ucfli but I telt bidding good-by to my old father very keenly. T went up to the hall the day that I was to leave the old place; . and Mrs, Olark and Lucy were in the drawing room when I entered: Mr. Clark bland and patronizing, Mrs, Clark tearful and nervous, and Lucy very pale and sileut. It .wasa miser- able affair, and I soon ended it. Mrs. Clark kissed me, and cried and called me her ‘“dear boy,” while Mr, Clark looked at her with a mildly depreca- to lmilc.1 L’fllen he shook han with me, a lit ipouasly, and a sort of val Hoon \speech struck me as being like a funeral ora- tion, and all this time Lucy sat with her head averted, and her hands clasped on her knees. ‘‘Lucy, my girl,” eaid 'l‘dhr Olark, ‘‘are you not going to wish your old playmate good foeias i i ‘Ao 1t 1 TH" sho sprang up and came over to me quick- N and | of her own wishes as to correspond- | ound of a wagon moving at some dis- hrowing her arms around my neck |ing with me, tor that if her father|tance.

They were married at a missionary station which was within a fow days, tred of our encampment, and then, leaving their wagon and oxen with me, started for Pretoria on horse- back, having bought a third horse to carry their simple baggage and cook- ing apparatus, also their blankets and a tethering-line for the horses.

I was to dispose of their wagon and oxen for them, and to arrange for their heavy luggage being sent home. As Heoathoote wrung my hand at parting, he said: ‘It is you who have saved us both; but for you this would not have been; but my unhappy past seems to me now like the shadow which adds to ‘the lustre of the sunshine,” And it is even so. In the spiritual as in the material world, where the sunshine is the most radiant, there the shadow will be the deepest. Those alone, while standing in the shadow, can realizo the existence of the sun- shine, and while basking in the light can be mindful of the gloom, can un- derstand what is romance, can see the beauty of nature, or listen to her har- monies.—[A)l the Year Round.
