She got up and came rustling in her silken robe de chambre to me. She reached out her hand and greeted mo not more hearti- 1y not yet wore formally than we were acoustorned to greet each other in thoso days. “‘There it is,” said my wife, polnt- ing to the child. “‘What?” asked I. But she stooped down before the little stranger, held a biscuit to its upturned, and half turn- ing to ward me, replied: “‘Well, you know —did we not read of it in the newspaper? Don't you re- member—the day before yesterday? And 18 1t beautiful?” Now I did not recollect that a fow nights before she had The Gazette un- der the light of my student lamp, and, pointing with her finger to an adver- ugement, said to me, ‘‘Please read that,” It wasthe well-known appeal, the cry ¢f despair from a bleeding heart addreesed to *‘goud people.,” A child was offered for adoption to per- sons well off. *‘What would you think «f our taking i7" my wife had said; and I had returned the paper to her with ashrug of my shoulders, ‘‘Bat, Martha, what have you done?” cried [, in a tone vibrating with anger. “You have really—" ‘‘Certainly, as you seo. And then it belorgs to me; I myself have settled everything with the poor mother who is in reality to be pitied. I havesworn to take good care of it; and eo I will indeed."” She took the little head, with its blondo, silk curls, batween her white hands, and fondled and caressed 1t “‘Ts i* not so little onec?—you will be loved?” Bat the somewhat sickly and dell- cate little fice showed no signs of un- derstandipg, except that out of the heart-shaped little mouth came one of those sighs that sound so strangely from children, I at once gave up all serlous objeec- tion. Had we not been accustomed for years to act independently of each other? Our marriage was not a very happy one, although we had not mar- ried for love, During the ncise and bustle «f the erowded exchange our fathers had contracted this union, She hid to tear her heart from a beloved ore, and in mine had glowed a passion not outspoken. But parental wishes corquered. We chose to be obedient children; and so it happened. At the commencement we were to each other a silent reproach; after which followed a declared war, until finally we came to a polite but glocmy peace. ‘L'o be sure, she was beautiful; she was good and_bright and sparkling, Others called her angel. Well, I believe I was no monster elther. The analysis showed the bright- est colors, still the sun was missing We we six years married and had no children, Perhaps had heaven sent us them —— Well, thie child belonged entirely to And 17| her; T heard later that she had piven $1,000, the price of a me: of jowels which she had sold secretly. **Why did you not tell me of it?" I eald, half angrily. ‘‘Because it would have been too late, if I had waited for your return to the city; and, beside. I wanted to have it entirely for myself; I wantsto call it my own,” she said, poutingly. My horses, my doge; her canaries, her gold fishes—1 could endure that; but that she wanted to have her child for herse!f alone, that was too much for me, The thought of it tortured me one, two days long. Oa the third day my wife had gore out in her car- riage; there came a veiled woman and demanded entrance. It was the mother. Like a shadow she glided Into the room, and, with a half- suppressed sob, begged to see her child once more. She could not part from him forever without imprintin, one more kiss upon his cheeks. § opened my ssfa quickly, ‘‘Here, my good woman," said I, ‘‘take that; they have not given you enovgh.” Her tears fell down her wan cheeke; she begged me not to judge her too rashly; she had another child, a cripple and helpless; she herself was sick and would not live mach longer, and what was to become of the children? Thaen she thought—— I, myself had to finish the sentence, which a violent fit_ of ocoughing had interrupted. **Yes,” she had thought: ““I will sell the healthy one in order that the money may help the cripple when I am dead and gone.” No, she must not be judged harshly; we rich know but littie of the trials and temptations of the poor. When my wife returned I gave her an account of the call I had had, add- ing that I had giveu the unfortunate one exactly the same smount as ehe had. *‘And now,” mid I, ‘“you maust see the child, belongs to both of us.” She bit her lips with her little white teeth, ‘It 18 all the same to me,” said she, after a moment's r« flaction, and with that she pressed a tender kiss on the little boy's mouth, It sounded almost like a challenge. “Oar cbild!” T scarcely ever saw it. Andthe changes that were made in our household for his sake were made entire,y withont me. Some- times, after the most important things were decided, my consent was then asked, ‘*We are obliged to have a nurse; I hired one, Anselm.,” T nodded silently, ‘‘We must fit up a nursery; that room is too warm for the child,” I nodded silently, but I heard the sound of the workmen who were already at work In the hall. What could I do better? Was 1t not all done for our cbild? My wife and Idid not talk much about the chi'd, and when we did men- tion it, we used only the name “It." Bat this ““It” could be heard through the house at almost any time of the day. “Hush! not so much nolse! Tt sleeps! It must have its dioner! It should be taken out for a drive! It has hurt itself!” And eo the whole house began to turn round our “It."” This nameless nouter vexed me, “It must have its own name,” sald I one day. *‘I entirely forgot to ask the mother ~—JI mean the woman—what Its name is,” answered my wife. ‘‘She in- tended to come again. But she does not come; she is certainly sick. Now T call it Max. name, is it not?” “H'm,” returned I, between two drafts of my cigar. “‘Fritz would also be quite a pretty name.” ‘‘One can- of domestics,” answered she, shortly, and then called out loudly, ‘‘Is Max up already?” Never mind, was it not our child? Once, though, I played my justifi- able part toward our child. At din- ner it was always served at a little table in an adjoining room. A! such times we could hear, between the scantily dropping phrases of conversa- by the clattering of i‘s spoon. My wife had no rest; there was a contin- ual coming and going be.ween us and him; the soup might be too hot, and he might eat too much! *‘Wife, d 1, very quietly, but very decidedly, “from to-morrow it shall eat with us at our table. Itisold enough now, withits two years."” From that ttme on ‘It ate with us. He sat there in his high chair llke a prince, close to my wife—both oppo- site to me like declared enemies, as it were. The yellowish paleness of poverty had ylelded to an aristocratio pink in his little cheeks, which now, becoming quite chubby, sat comfortably on the stiff folds of his napkin, It worked powerfully at its soup; and now, that it had finished, ret up the spoon like aecopter in its littlo round fist on the table. My wife and I had exchanged | a few words, and now we mat silent. Apparently on account of this silence its large eyes hegan to open wider and wider. They stared on me, stared on my wife, with » surprised expression, as if they had a presenta- ment that all was not right between us, Iconfessed that those eyes em- barrassed me, and that I had a feeling of rellef when Frederick entered with adish. And I thick that my wife felt the same. And the following days thero were the same large, wondering eyes, like an appealing questien, staricg Into the oa «f our conversation, It sounds ridiculous, but it is neverthe- less true, we were culprits before the child, we two grown persons! And by degrees our conversation bscame more animated, The occasional prat- tlings of the lltile one were noticed and spoken about; indeed, sometimes there was mutual langhter at his tempts to spesk. Ah! how light, how be!l like pure sounded her laughter! Had I never, then, heard that before! And what was the matter with me, that T s times bent over my writing desk lie- tening as though 1 heard from a dis- tance these samo silvery tones? With the first sunny epring, “‘It” began o play in the garden, which I | could overlook from wy seat in my offize, She was generally with him | Tconld hear the sound of his little feet on the pebbles, and then her footateps. Now ehe would playfully chate him, and a chorus of twittering sparrows would join in thelr notes with their merry laughter. Now she Max is & pretty short | not change the name now on account | tion, its merry prattling, accompanied | (aud lit on my inkstand. Just then | she came out of a green, vine-grown | bower; she was dressed in & dazzling | white neglige, trimmed with a costly lsce; all over her streamed the golden sunshine, excopt that her face was overshadowed by the pink of her par- asol. How slim she appeared! how grace- { fol in hew movements! Had I been blind? Traly the auntsand cousins were right; she wes in reality beautl. fol! A sweet emile transformed her features, she was happy—and her happiness came from her child, Then a volce made iteelf known in my breast, whioh said very plainly, '‘You are a monster!” I got up and walked to the window. “It isa cold day,” called I. T know how cold and pro- saic it must have sounded to her, It came like & heavy cloud-shadow over the landscape. Sne answered some- thing that I did not understand; but the brightness was gone from her little face, Then she took up the child who was stretching out his arms to her, and kissed and caressed him be- fore my eyes. There it was when the first feeling of jealousy was aroused in me; a jealousy, truly, but what » strange Jealousy, which could not make olear to itself who was its object? If *‘It” said ‘“‘mamma,” there came pain to my heart; and the caresses with which she overwhelmed him almost drove me wild, I was joalous of both! It pained me that 1 had no part in this weaving of love, that I was not the third in the union, I exerted myself to gain a part of their love, I did it very clumsily, The child persevered in certain shynees, and she—bad I not kept myeelf forcibly away trem her during theso long, long yeart! Oone day at the dianer table after a skirmish cf worde, came a great still- ness between us, a atillness more pain- ful than had ever been. I glanced down at the flowers on my plate of Saxon porcelatn, my displeasure show- ing in my face; but I felt plainly that *‘It” had its eyes on me, and nlso her oyes. It was as if those four eyes burned on my foreherd. Then sound- ed suddenly in the stillness: ‘‘Papa!” and again louder and more cour: ous, *‘Papa!” Ishuddered, ‘TIt” sat there and stared, now very much frightened, over at me, wondering perhaps, whether a storm would be raised by its “pava.” But her face was suffused with glowing redness, and her half-opened lips trembled alightly. There came a tlood of gladness over my heart. Certaiuly no one but her had taught him this “papa.” Why did T not spring up, bound to her and with one word,one embrace, strike ont the loneliness of the last six years? One light word in thls moment and all would have been weil, It remalned unepoken; I seemed to have lost all power 1o act; but on a certain page of wy ledgor are still traces of the tears I shed in angor st my own stupidity. There was no doubt about it; an other spirit had stepped in with its little curly head—the spirit of love; and that made me a stranger in my own house. A preclous sunshine brightened the rooms, even when the one in the heavens was hidden by clouds, The faces of the servants and would catch him and kias his cheeks over and over, Once I opened my window; & warm balsamlic air streamed sround me, and butterfly fluttered in even inanimate objects streamed back this radiance. But me, only, this radiance did not touch. I folt myself always more and more uahappy in my loneliness. Jealousy gev in me; it gave me all sorts of 100lish thoughts, I wanted to rebel azalnst the little autocrat; that would be ridioulous. I wanted to give her the chotoe between him and me. I, audacious one, knew very well which side her heart would choose. At an- other time I was ready to take steps to find the mother, and with the the power of gold force herto take back her chud-hehind my wife's back? That would be cowardly. The sunshine would not let itse!f be banished, and the spirlt of love was stronger than I. With his flaming aword he drove me out, I must take a long journey, Martha.,” My voice trembled aa I said this this, My wife wust have noticed it, for romethin, like pity trembled In her beautifal eyes. At my taking leave, she held the little one toward me and asked, in soft, caressing tones, ‘‘Will yon not adieu to our child?” I took up the little one, perhaps too roughly; at all events he began to ory and to res'st my caresses, Then I put him down and hastened away. I traveled in uncertaluty through the world, and behold! afcer the first fow days, in addition to my ordinary traveling companion, bad humor, there oame another fellow that told me plainly that I was a fool, First it sounded like s whisper, then louder and louder, ‘“You are a downright fool.” Finally, I read it in the news- paper before mo; it was traced on the blue mountains; the locomotive shrieked it to me. Yes, I belleve it; why did I not then and there turn my fice homeward? Well, the fool must firat travel it all off before everything wovld be right again, At last, one day, with a vlolent beating of the heart, I again entered my dwelling. What & solemn still- ness reigned there! I could now hear the sound of whispering voicee; my wifo came toward me. “Ttis sick, very tick,” moaned she; ‘‘it will surely die!” Ttried to comfort her, Only a short time, however, proved that iar fears were but too well grounded. During the last night we both sat by the little bed, she there and I here, each one holding one of his little hands, Ah!those feverish pulse beats! every stroke sounding like an appeal. *Lova e1ch other; be good!” We felt eventually those throbbings, and we understood the appeal, Our eyes met, full and earnest through the glittering tears, as in a first, holy vow. Words would have seemed a sacrilege then, Not long after we laid our darling in the warm spring earth, When we again sat down at our table there was a stillness botween us; but it was not the same stillne:s as that which the little stranger had broken in upon with his parting ‘‘papa.” Even by the wall stood his high arm-chsir, and on the little bourd before it lay his spoon scepter. My wife reached her fair white hand over the iable and asked: “Did you aleo love it—at least a little?” Her volee trembled. “‘My wife! my sweet, my own wife!’ cried L, Then I fell at her feet snd held her hands fast in in mine, “1 love thee, my, wife! oh, my wife.” After the first emotion had suhald. ed, I pointed to an arm-chair. **fhe little oue came to teach. us love,” whispered I. ““And when it had fin- Ished ita teaching it went sgain to the wagels,” added she through her tears.
