A pale, terrified face, a pair of dark tie'

startled eyes, and a girlish figure in a swaying shell of a boat, which was hurrying ouward to the swirling falls below.

That was what John Cristowell saw as he parted the willow boughs and stood on the bank of the rapid little river.

Apathetic cry of distress had reached kirn as he rode past on his homeward way, and hastily throwing his horse's bridle over tho branch of a tree by the roadside, he lost no time in rushing to the spot whence the sound had come.

The white, girlish face turned toward him, the slender arms uplifted in a gesture of wild appeal, and the pretty lips moved in a last breathless cifort as she saw standing there, onlv a few feet away, the strong, stalwart young fellow who had hastened to her rescue. "Help! oh, help!" i.

The cry came faintly, but John Cristowell heard it,and somehow it thrilled his heart as no other voice ever had. "Courage!" he shouted back cheerily in response. And the next moment he had plunged into the foaming waters and was making his way with rapid strokes toward the helpless little boat.

Once there, a single glance told him what the trouble was one of the oars had been lost overboard, and, in her fright and bewilderment the girl was incapable of managing her little craft.

But what her frail strength had found impossible was an easy enough task for his strong and skillful hand, and very soon lie had landed his fair charge safely on the shore. "You are still faint and trembling." he siid gently, when, after a few sweetly spoken words of gratitude which John Cristowell would remember always, she turned to leave him "had I not better take you safely to your home?"

She shook her head with the sweetest, saddest smile he had ever seen. "No, oh, no," she auswered hastily, "I am quite able to go alone now."

Whether or not that reflection caused him any regret, his pleasant, expressive face ciid not show.

But certainly his thoughts went back more than once to the pale, sweet face of the girl he had rescued, as he rode along toward his own modest home.

Long months he had been absent from it, his business being that of a surveyor he was always glad, in the. intervals of his work, to return to the cozy little cottage, made bright and comfortable for him by a widowed sister yet now he could not help smiling as he mentally contrasted it with the stately mansion which Verna Livingston called her home.

Contrary to his expectations' chance did throw him, not infrequeutlj', in the young heiress' pathway, for she seemed fond of taking long rides and walks over the quiet country roads.

She had always a pleasant nod aud smile for him when they met, but John Cristowell noticed that the sweet, delicate face was always pale and wistful lookiug, and there was an indefinable sadness in the glance of her soft, dark eyes which haunted him for hours after each one of those chance meetings. "Is she unhappyP" was the question that began to trouble him almost unconsciously.

And slumbering in his. heart, half unknown to himself, was a silent pur.pose to hold himself in readiness, as a true knight, to aid aud protect her, •should she ever again require his services. .•

How soou the time would come, aud in what way he was to prove his knighthood, John Cristowell little dreamed.

Walking along the road which skirted the willow-bordered stream,in the early dusk one evening, he was startled by the abrupt appearance of Miss Livingston directly in his path, her lovely face whiter than ever he had seen it before, her great, soft, dark eyes full of a terror impossible to describe. "I have bpen waiting for you," she began, in low," rapid tones, not giving him time to express in words the astonishment that was expressed on his face. "You—you once said you would help me, Mr. Cristowell?" "And I jncant it, too. Miss Livingston," lie returned, with quiet firmness. "Tell me how I can serve you."

She threw back her graceful head and looked at him with the air of a frightened fawn, oue little hand pressed tightly against her loudly beating heart. "Listen!" she exclaimed, her voice so fluttering r.nd uneven that he had to bend lower to catch its faiut accents. "For months I have been persecuted, haunted until life has become almost a horror to me. They are trying to force mo into a marriage with—with one whom I loathe and detest with all rar

THE CRAWFORL.SVILLE WEEKLY

i—1 am afraid. 1.- am not strong e.nousrh to resiet them alwovs am' £he stopped, turning her tace away, for its pallor was lost now in a burning flood of shame—the hottesi that had ever scorched those dainty cheeks. "If only there was some barrier," she went on, after that brief, shamed silence, casting a strange, appealing look into the young man's wondering face, "something that the law coula interpose between myself and the man hate. And there is only one way

Again she paused with crimsoa cheeks and dropping eyes, but this time John Cristowell spared her the shame of speaking further. "I can scarcely credit my senses," he said, in a half-bewildered way "yet, if I mistake not, you are asking py protection against this hated marriage, and there is only one way in which I could protect you—that is to—make— you—my wife. Have I understood you. Miss Livingston?"

She bowed her head slowly without speaking, without even lifting her eyes from the shadowy ground. "Do you realize what you are asking?" he went on. his voice husky and strained with the intensity of his feelings. "I am a stranger to you, and a poor man—as far below you in social station as "That is nothing," interrupted the young heiress, lifting her head, with an eager Hash in her dark eyes. "I know of you, John Cristowell I know ihat you are honest, brave—a man to be txlisted. And all I ask is a legal barrier between me and a marriage to which death itself were a thousand times preferable. Beyond that I have* never looked—never cared

The intense light which had suddenly flashed across the young man's face, rendered it positively handsome as he listened to the girl's "first words, died out and left it pale and emotionless ere the last sentence fell from her lipso "IT shall be as you wish it." he interrupted quietly, though something like a thrill of pain sounded in his husky tones. "Fortunately it is in my power to serve you, anil that is all the happiness I ask. If you have fully resolved upon such a step, I—I am ready at any moment. The parsonage is not far off'. Shall we go now, Miss Li'viugston?"

home is very near. You can see it over there just beyond those trees. But I—I should like to know the name of my rescuer," she added simply, with a shy, half-timid glance from beneath her dark lashes. "John Cristowell, now and always at your service, Miss Livingston," he said, smiling slightly as lie lifted his hat witli an air which expressed at once both pride and deference.

He lingered a moment, looking after the fragile, graceful form as it vanished down the wooden path in the direction of the great, gray stone mansion beyond the trees. "So that is Verna Livingston, the heiress to more than a round million," he soliloquized, a puzzled, almost pitying look on his strong, ruggedly handsome face. "I heard they were coming home, but the picture that my fancy drew of the millionaire's only child was far different from,the reality. What a sweet, childish, wistful little faco she has, and I thought' it had a touch of sadness, too. But I suppose that was the result of her fright and danger of the river. Well, well!"— with a little laugh as he shook the water from his short, curling hair— "what business have 1 to be dreaming ol' pretty heiresses? There is a Hue as fixed as fate between their station and niy owiir—a line which I, for one, do not care to cross, and it is not likely that chance will ever thrcjw me in her path again."

With a swift, sweet look of gratitude which thrilled him to the very core of his heart, Verna Livingston turned and laid her small white hand upon his arm. "Yes, now," she whispered hurriedly. "Until I know that I am placed safely beyond their power I cannot breathe freely. But wait," she added, stopping abruptly in their walk, as if a 'sudden thought lufd Hashed upon her mind. "There's one thing you ought to know. This step may cost me my fortune they have threatened to deprive me of every dollar of it unless I yield to their will. So it may prove to be a penniless girl instead of an heiress whom you are—befriending, Mr.

Cristowell." A swift, proud gesture, full of scornful indifference, and quite character istic of the man, was John Cristowell's only answer, as h6 drew the little, jeweled hand protectingly within his arm and hastened on toward the light which, just beginning to glow red)}' through the scented dusk, showed them where the little parsonage stood.

A half-hour later they came forth from the cheery parlor where that bright light shone, and, clasped tightly in oue fair hand, Verna Cristowell held her marriage certificate that precious talisman which was henceforth to be her weapon of defense against her persecutors.

At the spot where she had waited for him earlier in the dvening John Cristowell parted from his bride. "You are safe now, whatever comes," he said, taking the little hanc} which she shyly offered, aud holding it tightly, yet "tenderly in his own. "They can't force you into that hated union now, and as for me—well," with a slight, queer little smile trembliflg about the corners of his handsome mouth, "I am goiug away again for a long stay— you know my business often calls me to distant places—and I shall never trouble you in any way, never seek to claim yon as my wife unless it'shall be your own free will and wish. And I cannot hope for that," lie abided, with an unconscious sigh. "But if you should ever need me you have only to send liie one word and I will leave everything to come and protect you. Aud now—Verna—my wife —good-by!"

He bent and touched his lips reverently to the white hand that still rested in Ins clasp, then wheeled about and disappeared in the darkness before she could repl}r to hiin, even had she wished.

Months passed ere John Cristowell agiiu turned his face homeward. His strange marriage was still a secret, locked sacredly in his inmost heart.

How constantly he had thought of his fair yonng bride, and how passionately he had growrn to love her, he did not hiihself realize until he turned into the old, familiar road which led past her stately home to his far more humble one. "She is mine, and yet how distant, how inaccessible!" he muttered, as his eyes lingered wistfully on the gray stone towers he was passing. "She will never love me to her I am nothing save the useful barrier that stands between herself aud danger. Ah,well, my love is great enough to Hello! what's the meaning of that, I wonder?"

U'UU.18^

For a bright light in his own little cottage, farther down the road, at that instant caught his eye.

His sister never occupied it except during his visits there, or when expecting him, aud this time he had given her no intimation of his coming.

Yet there was tho little home more brilliantly lighted up than fiver he hail seen it before.

Had anything happened' John Cristowell "quickened his steps and knocked at the door with an anxiously beating heart.

It opened, atM there, in the soft warm glow of the shaded lamp, she stood before him. lovely, smiling, bewildering. in the sweet light that ir-

A Cottage at Newport. 1

few years ago the people talked of .. "cottage at ^Newport" but now it sounds like the pride that apes humility to hear oue of the great mansions described in such a way. Life goes on as if all was made smooth for him who would enjoy, and. indeed, that is really the case. The very rich families—the Astors, the Belmonts, the Vanderbilts, the Goelets and Havemeyers do not hesttate to lavish great sums upon their Newport houses, and to be entertained there is understood to be much, more of a compliment than it would be to receive a card to the most elaborate Affair in the city. The finest glass and china i.« upon the table, aud chefs, whose salaries go beyond the desirable ten thousand a year, catur to the tastes that are, possibly, satiated with the good things of life. dinner-party is qiffte as formal as oue given in the city, the hour usually being half-past eight, and the guests seldom rising from the table before eleven or halfpast. Then comes a dauce—either at the Casino, or some private house. The fancy is to have a "dinner dance" —that is, several hostesses who are friends, invite a certain number to dine, and after dinner all meet at the house which has the best ball-room a few outsiders, usually men, are asked, ahd after "dancing all night1',the beauties start home as the sun is coming up, making the least line of age or dissipation show upon their faces.

Garden parties are in vogue tennis, croquet, archery and tliat old-new English game, golf, beiug played by the younger set, while the matrons are grouped about, beautifully dressed,discussing the pretty nothings that form society talk. Footmen, or primly dressed maids, carry trays here aud there upon which are a cool cup cf tea, thin wafers, fancy cakes, ices and, occasionally. some delicious fruit. When all the world goes out for its afternoon drive,the list is looked over, the garden parties counted and 1113' lady considers at which she vill stop for a little while, not only for a change aud to show her new gowns, but to see what other women are wearing aud hear what they are doing.—Ladies'' Home Journal.

Some Frenohy Maxima.

Let us begiu by admiring what God shows up aud we shall have no time left to hunt for what ha hides from us.

There are people, aud many of them, who really repent only their good deeds.

It is easier to be good to everybody than to somebody. Often woman, who inspires us with great things, prevents us from accomplishing them.

There are a number of people, especially in polities, who are like bottles they have no value except that which is poured into them.

Life is the last habit that we wish to lose, because it is the first one that we form.

Friendship ends where borrowing begins. He who causes his own death is a victim' who meets his executioner and kills him.

Never discuss you will convince nobody*. Opiuious'are like nails the harder you hit theni the deeper they go.

They "deserve their misfortunes who know "not how to profit by them. llrunettcs deceive, blondes betray.

The Well's Secret.

1 knew it nil in my boyliood in al0ne60me valley meadow. I.Ike dryad's mirror hidden by tlie woods' dim arches near: Its eyes flushed, the sunshine and grow dark and sad with shndow,

Aud I loved its truthful depths, where every pebble lay so clear.

I scooped my hand and drank it, aud watched the MMisate quiver Of the rippling rings of silver as the drops of crystal fell. I pressed the richer grasses from its Ilttlo trickling river, i'ill ut last I know, as friends know, every secret of the well.

But one day I stood beside it, on a sudden, unexpected, When the sun had crossed tho valley r.nd a shadow hid the place, And I looked in tho dark waters, saw my pallid cheek reflected,

And beside it, looking upward, met an evil reptile face.

Looking upward—furtive, startled at the silent, swift intrusion, Then it darted toward the grasses, and I saw not where It fled: I5ut. 1 knew its eyes were 011 me and the oldtime swift illusion

Of the pure and perfect symbol Iliad clierIfhed there was dead.

O, the pain to know the perjury of seeming truth that blesses! My soul w:is seared like sin to see the falsehood of the place And the innocence that .mocked tne, while In dim, unseen recesses

Thero were lurking fouler secrets tlian tho furtive reptile face.

And silence then—nh! why the burden?—when joyous faces greet me. With eyes of limpid innocenceand words devoid of art,

cannot trust their seeming, but must ask what eyes would meet me Could

look in sudden silence at tho secrot of tho heart. I —.lobn Ttovle O'Rcills.
