A MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
I had never thought of her—we walked With Jane underfoot and overhead. I had never thought of her—we talked
And I never noticed what we said.
I fell on flowers with my lout's long feet: I shocked the solemn old oaks with laughter I droned of weather, the way, the wheat
Her glance said shyly, "And what comes after?" Kind counsels dropped from a clement sky
The way was made, as It were, for two I could only hear the crickets cry She heard, higher up, the white doves coo.
I, eighteen—crude and ash'amed to please She—eighteen, ripe with a looking glass The birds sang love to her in the trees,
And the crickets hissed me in the grass.
She rifled berries in many a bush, The white arm flashed In many a turn A sunbeam broke on it like a blush
I watched a plover rise from the fern.
A brook ran rollicking on our way We stopped a moment, and as we sto'od, The sweet, warm, amorous air of May
Hymned Hymen, Hymen, throughout the wood. Her voice had timid, tender tones,
And a frightened Jaugh and a laughing scream Her fine feet flew on the stepping stones
I watched the trout turn against the stream.
I found not a thiag to say, and talked I heard*her sigh, and 1 saw her smile, She was beside me, and as we walked
I wished it was over all the while,
We had left the woods ere I saw the red, Meek mouth, and the face's sea shell tints "Let us think no more of it, then, she said
And I've thought of it ever since.

CHAPTER
XXIII.
THE MYSTIC-FUTURE.
For the time being the lawyer put away all his forebodings in regard to his artist friend, and proceeded to enjoy himself.
A young gentleman fnena of dairy's oame in lor an evening call, and was so attracted by the wonderful beauty of Lottie that be kept close to her, leaving George a chance to look after Hope, which he was ready and williug enough to do.
They played croquet on the beautiful lawn beside the house until it grew too dark to see the balls, and then went in to tea.
Afterward they sauntered about the grounds, aud at length gathered in the parlor to have some music, where Lottie astonished them with the richness of her voice.
The following day was a quiet Sunday, aud George Ruskin would never forget what a time he had.
In the morning they went to church, a couple of miles distant, and by an artful manipulation of affairs the lawyer managed to secure Fairy to himself all the way home after the prosy sermon was over.
Then, alter a sumptuous dinner, the young folks took strell in the adjacent woods.
They made quite a little company, George and Fairy, Lottie and Brewster, her admirer of the ovening before, Joe and Kenny, who was wild with delight, and a young gentleman and bis betrothed, who had called to spend the afternoon.
Every hour that George Rusklu spent in the society of Hope Winchester, made him more fully aware of the fact that be was madly in love with the golden haired little fairy, and that it was the earnest desire of his life to win her for his wife.
During the afternoen he spoke no word of love, for George was too shrewd to again spoil his chances by being premature.
All Georgo desired was for Roger to coino upon the scene, aud the rest he ielt sure of, as he bad full confidence in his ability to catch her heart in the rebound.
IIo read Fairy truly. She was cspablo of great affection, and If her love was once acknowledged and returned she would be faithful to the death, but George knew that, in its present half developed state, the shock of seeing a meeting betweon Lottie and Hoger. with the love light shining from the eyes of both, would be apt to smother the tire in the de«r heart of Fairy as if it was a genuine flame aud water had been dashed upon it,
Geerge Ruskin was a noblo man. Had Roger's heart been free he would have been the last man in the world to have tried to steal the love of the young girl, but he knew very well that her affection was not only not returned, but hopeless, for the artist loved another
Th
herefore George felt that he was no one in trying to win the irl's love, and to gain that be
igii
wronging no one jung
tying id to
felt wonfd be the next thing to gaining
Paradise. iinch a love ennobles both the man in vtrhotn it lives and the object that generates 15, for it is Heaven-born. Passion debases, while true love, forgetful of self, seeks to elevate.
He would never cease to remember that afternoon, for it was the first one on which be began to feel happy. He tried to picture the future with this dear little golden haired girl as his wife, the home spirit of his hearth, aud whiles doing fell into a delicious reverie, from which ho was at length aroused by Fairy's sweet laugh, and he awakened to the fact that she waa watchiug him from the corners of her merry eyes, and was highly amused with bis dreamy attitude.
Ruskin reserved his day dreams after that for some time when sbo was not near, resolved to enjoy her presence as fully as possible.
The evening passed pleasantly, for they sang church choir music, and as half a dosen young folks came over they succeedod admirably in this.
When morning came George was up bright and early. Knowing Fairy's,
habits, he walked out into the flower gardon# Sure enough, in a few minutes he caught sight of a little fairy among the rose bushes, flitting and thither, culling a handsome bouquet for the breakfast table.
The train George was to take passed the station at seven o'clock, and ne was loth to say "good-by," but he knew it must be so. "I thought I should find you out here, Fairy (George was an old friend he and Hope had grown up together and were familiar so far as names went), and I have come to say good-by alone. I don't know when I shall come down again, for I am very busy. But I shall carry away with me a memory of blue eyes and golden hair. Don't look alarmed, Fairy we are only friends you know, for you said so last fall when I told you my secret. "Believe me, I do not mean to offend you in any way, and, therefore, as you can give me no hope, it is useless in my coming down except when I pay my periodical fall visit home. I wish you the utmost happiness this world can bestow. Whatever your path in life may be, I pray Heaven to watch over and guard you tenderly. And now
food-by,
Fairy, my lost love the dream
indulged in for years was broken last fall, and I have not been the same joyous, light hearted George Ruskin since."
He held her hand while he spoke, and Fairy's face was bent down so that he could not see her blushing cheeks, for she knew his eyes were fixed upon her with that yearning look she had onc8 found it so painful to resist.
Why could she not have loved him? He was so generous, manly and noble, and she had known him all her life. That was just it if he had but lately come into her life, a stranger, she would not have found it so hard a task, for then she could have appreciated his nobleness but now he seemed so much like a brother that she could only think of him as such.
A minute she stood thus then, recovering her self possession, she looked up with rosy cheeks and an embarrassed
lft"f7hy,
George, you know we are the
best of friends. Why can you not regard' me in the light of a little sister? You know I have no brother to fight my battles, and have always looked to you for protection. It is too bad that you desert me now." "It can never be, Hope," said he, sadly "I do not love you as a brother should his sister. A touch of your hand sends the blood leaping madly through my veins. You must be all the world to me or—nothing. I leave you now to try and forget my misery in city life, but it seems as if I had left the light of my life behind."
He gently kissed her hand, gave her one long, lingering look, and went into the house. Then he assumed a gayetv that deceived them all, and parted from them with a ringing, boyish hurrah. "I wonder," George said to himself, as the train whirled him toward the great city, "I wonder what mad impulse caused me to forget my resolve and speak? If Roger had only come? Where can the boy have hidden himself? Would that I could lift the mystic veil of the future and see whether all is dark for me, or if it shall be lighted by the precious love of Hope Winchester."
CHAPTER XXIV. DESPERATE MEN.
When Roger Raymond and his California friend found that the human fiends with whom thev had come in contact had set fire to the old building in half a dozen different places, and that the chances were decidedly fn favor of their being cremated, they could not but feel horrified.
The situation was certainly terrible enough to freeze the blood in a man's veins, and they might well be pardoned for allowing themselves time for fearful forebodings.
There was something in the crackle of the flames in the room below that chilled them.
The burglars, to make assurance doubly sure, had thrown oil all around the room on the woodwork, so that by dropping a lighted' match, it became a chaos of flames. "We are lost!" exclaimed the Gold King.
He lipd passed through many adventures during his eventful life, but there was something so terrible about such a death that he could not keep from shuddering.
Roger, not so used to facing death, could not withstand showing his alarm. No man but a miserable misanthrope, or one reckless as to consequences, can stand in the face of the grim monster without feeling a shiver run through his frame. "Come," said the artist, shaking off the feeling of numbness that had commenced to enthrall mind and body, "we must make an effort to save ourselves il we be men." "You are right. I am not the one to submit tamely to such a fate. What shall we do?" inquired the Californian. "What, indeed!"
They looked around them. The light was dimly making its way through the opening at the top of the ladder, for the flames had gained great headway during that short time that had elapsed since the conflagration had been Kindled.
By this din) light, then, which was every moment growing stronger, they could see the whole extent of their quarters.
There had been windows, it was true, but for some reason or other these were boarded up, and even their united strength could not tear the pieces of timber ofi.
Were they doomed to be burned alive in this old building? The flames were now eating their way up through the opening, looking fierce and angry as they darted into view and then vanished, like the tongues of so many serpents.
If there had been any possible means of escape, these two men would never have stood there and passively awaited their fate but no chance seemed open to them. "Hark! what is that?" cried Roger.
The flames below had reached such a height that they made a peculiar buzzing sound not unlike that produced by a circular saw at work, but above this some other noise reached the ears of the two men. "Some one is on the roof!" cried Rofter*
The Californian oould also hear a kicking sound as of some one stamplog* •"See, it must be a trap door!"
Sure enough, as the light became stronger each moment, they coold trace the outlines of a trap door in the roof, and the noise seemed to come from above this.
At about the same time Roger caught sight of a ladder leaning against the wall. It was covered with dust, and somewhat rotten from age, but had evidently onoe been used to reach the trap door.
They lost no time in placing it in position, and then Roger clambered up. He discovered that the trap was fastened
with a chain and a staple, which he unfastened. and then pushed the heavy door up.
Unseen hands aided him in this, and Roger clambered out upon the roof. He saw by the light of the tire the figure of a man, and, even in such a situation, be could not forbear to ask the question. "Who is it?" "Old Sharpe," came the reply. "Good enough," was all Roger could say, but the hand shake between them meant volumes.
During this time the Caiifornian had been asconding the frail ladder, but he was a much heavier man than Roger, and wheu he had almost reached the top the rotten structure gave way with a crash, precipitating him to the floor beneath.
Very fortunately, however, he was not injured by the fall, but it looked very doubtful whether he could join the friends above.
His situation was terrible, indeed, for the red flames were darting up the hole where the ladder leading from the lower story was, every now and then. But for the daring and presence of mind shown by the Californian, be would never have come out alive.
Remembering that the ladder they had ascended was loose, and painted, he believed that it had not yet caught on fire, and that through its means he might save himself.
Without losing another minute of time, therefore, he darted over to the hole, waited until the flames subsided, and then, grasping the ladder, drew it up. To do this required herculean strength, but the man wasin a desperate situation, and capable of accomplishing wonders.
The woodwork was fiercely hot ana burned his hands to the quick but, if it had gone to the bone instead, the Gold King would not have let go his hold.
With clinched teeth and straining muscles he tugged away, and soon hauled the ladder up. This feat was greeted with a cry of admiration frona the two men above that greatly encouraged the brave Californian.
To get the heavy ladder over to the open trap was hard work, but in the end he maaag9d to accomplish it and ascended to the roof, where he was warmly greeted by the two men.
His hands were blistered, but he had saved himself, at least so far as remaining below could be any worse than on the roof.
The three men were now upon the roof of the old brewery, but how much nearer safety than in the roots
below,
still remained a doubt. They made thoir way to the end of the building and looked down.
The heat was intense, as the shed that had assisted the detective in making his ascent had been burning fiercely so that our friends could not remain in their situation long.
With much concern they hurried along the edges of the building, Roger on one side and his friends on the other, but there seemed no avenue of escape.
People were flocking to the scene, and. hundreds of white faces were upturned to view the blazing building. Singularly enough, no^alarm had been turned in, owing to an accident to the wires, and the old brewery was doomed.
A groan of horror arose from the assembled multitude as three figures appeared upon the edge of the roof. Three men in the crowd, however, witnessed the spectacle with a gloating satisfaction. They were the members of the league.
CHAPTER XXV. A BLOW FROM BEHIND.
To leap from the roof would only inviting death in another form, -as t. distance was too great. Were there no means by which they cotjld' reach the ground?
Those three men would never forget the agony ol that moment so long as thev lived. „,
It must, indeed, have been ternblo to stand there and know that with eaola passing second their doom was drawing gradually nearer.
They could now see the flames shooting up above the parapet on the side where the shed had been, occasionally a tongue of blue and crimson flashed out of the open trap.
Besides, the roof wis feeling hot to their feet, for the fire was raging like a whirlwind underneath, shooting out from the windows that had erstwhile been so securely barred with heavy planks, and licking up everything combustible.
King Fire was holding high carnival, and gradually but surely approaching his intended human sacrifices.
The human mind cannot conccive the horror and despair that come upon a man in such a situation unless through experience.
As the fact becomes apparent that death, in a terrible shape, is creeping nearer and nearer, the very blood seems to become stagnant in the veins, and the muscles to refuse their duty.
Many a man has turned suddenly to find a railroad train swooping down upon him. and but for the fact that he was frozen with horror, might easily have escaped the doom that came upon him,
It would have been just so wifu our friends, only that they were men of action.
Thev
saw the billows of flame,
felt the awful heat, and reallz3d the dea perate nature of their situation even more fully than the crowd in the streets t)olow«
The brewery stood alone, not another building adjoining it, and, having woodword on three sides, the flames foand
^Su&enly^he detective uttefed a loud cry, and they could detect a strong vein of satisfaction in it, as if be bad become imbued with hope. "I have made a discovery!" he cried. "What is it?" gasped the others, half suffocated by the beat and smoke that
"The water pipe! With the blessing of Providence, we shall yet be saved," he answered.
The saw through bis idea at once. There was one side of the building that adjoined an alley. It had no windows, as the original proprietors of the brewery had doubtless intended extending the building. Nevertheless, they had tun a water pipe down here so tnat its contents would empty into the gutter..
As this was the only one on that side, it was of large dimensions, and should it only prove strong enough, would turn out to be an excellent means of escape. Indeed, the onlv strange thing
was
that they had foiled to think or it before but this was hardly to be wondered at.
The flames were now sweeping around the corners of the building, and graduallv nearing the water pipe. It was plainly evident then, that if tbey wished to make their escape, they should lose no time in commencing operations.
The detective was the first one to venture upon the perilous undertaking, for there was a great deal of danger involved. Should the pipe give way, the distance to the ground was far enough to severely injure if not kill him at
^Lowering himself over the edge, he
"5
s-
grasped the pipe with firm hands. Accustomed to deeds of daring, the detective did not hesitate, but began lowering himself.
The crowd below became as silent as death while tbey watched the perilons descent of the gallant detective. Foot by foot he slipped down the water pipe, clutching it-with rigid fingers, while the hungry flames darted out from either side as if about to seize upon him.
At length a thunderous hurrah from the assembled populace below announced his safe arrival upon the ground.
By this time another season of anxiety had commenced, for a second figure had appeared upon the water pipe. This was the Gold King. Roger, generous fellow that he always was, had insisted upon his newly made friend's going down.
The Californian lost no time in doing so, for he realized that every second was of inestimable value both to himself and the friend upon the roof of tl*e brewery.
His hands were blistered and sore, but if they bad been burned to the bone, he would not have hesitated. Roger saw him vanish between the two billows of flame, and knew that he was well on his way to safety, Presently a loud cheer announced that he had gained the ground.
Without waiting longer, Roger threw himself over the parapet, and commenced his downward voyage. By this time the flames had gained such headway that the two wings of fire became one for the time being.
The artist looked below him, and could not but shudder at the sight. Couid he pass through that sea of fire without burning his face to a crisp? The recollection of the countenances of the three fiends who had held him in their power, sent a shiver to his heart, as in his mind's eye he saw his own face, burned and disfigured beyond resemblanoe, and thought of Lottie and her exquisite beauty.
As if Heaven was watching over him, the flames parted while be hung in mid air above them, as a friendly gust of wind drove them in opposite directions.
Seizing the opportunity, Roger shot down like a streak of lightning, and just after he passed through, the flames united again in a solid pillar, twisting around the corners, and eating their way along the woodwork like red serpents
When he had reached the ground they helped him away, for he was half suffocated.
An arm reached between the men, something flashed in the bright glare of the fire, and then Reuben Flint's dagger was thrust into the side of the artist, aimed at his heart. [TO BE CONTINUED.]
An Open Letter. It Speaks Tor Itself. WEST TOWNSHEND, Yt.
Mr. Editor: Having read in your paper reports of the remarkable cures of catarrh, I am induced to tell "what I know about catarrh," and I fancy the "snuff" and "inhaling tube" makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be glad if they could emblazon a similar cure in the papers. For 26 years I suffered with catarrh. The nasal passage became completely closed, "Snuff," "dust," "ashes,', "inhaling tubes," and "sticks," wouldn't work, though at intervals I •would sniff up the so called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a miserable being I was.
My head ached over my eyes so that I wtfs confined to my bed for many successive days, and suffering the most intense pain, which at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. All sense of smell and taste weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitttng seveneights of my time. I prayed for death to relieve me of my suffering. A favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with commou sense. Well, Mr. Editor' it did not cure me in three fourths of asecond, nor in one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and have remained so for over sixtesn months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach* I also kept'my liver active and bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my experience will induce other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter will have answered its purpose. Yours truly.' S. D. Remick. -——s—=======—
