SONGS.

TnOMAS DERMODT.

O tender songs!

Heart-heavings of the breast that longs Its best-beloved to meet You tell of love's delightful hours. Of meetings amid jasmine bowers. And vows, like perfume of young flowers

As fleeting—but more sweet. O glorious songs! Th tit rouse the brave 'gainst tyrant wrongs,

Resounding near and far

Mingled with trumpet and with drum, Your spirit-stirrring summons come, To urge the hero from his home,

And arn him for the war. O mournful songs!

When Sorrow's hosts, in gloomy throngs, Assail the widowed heart You speak in softly soothing strain, The praise of those whom death has ta'en, And tell that we shall meet again,

And meet no more to part. O lovely songs—

Breathings of heaven! to you belongs The empire of the heart. Enthroned in memory, still reign O'er minds of prince and peer and swain, "With gentle powier that knows not wane

Till thought and life depart.

TOO LATE.

A Story of St. Valentine's Day.

CHAPTER YII (CONTINUED).

Fifteen minutes later, and the deadly bullet lay in Nell Thanet's slight hand, which then, and not till then, showed signs of tremor.

Sir William eyed her keenly, Her «ye sank beneath his searching look: she turned hastily away and applied herself to the dressing of the patient's wound: but slio was not as deft as usual somehow her sight seemed at fault, and some largo tears fell. Sir William quickly took Die appliances from her hand. "Let me linisli., he said. "You Jiave done enough for one day—you have made yourself a name. And now," he continued, bending over the Colonel, "all you have to do is to get, well. You have plenty of strength for that, thanks to Dr. Thanet."1 "Doctor who?" asked the sick man quickly. "Thanet," answered Sir William—

Doctor Thanet." "Oh. why did you?" cried Nell suddenly. "He has fainted."

She spoke in her natural voice, not in the rougher tone she had assumed. Only Sir William noted the change but he made no remark. He administered a stimulant, and in a little while Lyon Leslie returned to consciousness. He looked eagerly round: but Nell had drawn back only Sir William's great form was visible. "Your life depends on absolute quiet,1' he said. "Take this, and «leep."

Sir William Avas not a man to be disobeyed the Colonel was fain to do his bidding, and, in a few minutes, as from very weariness, his eyes closed, and he slept.

Nell then left some directions with Mrs. Mclan, and followed Sir William into another room. Mr. Parr was in haste, to be gone, to carry the glad tidings to Lady Masters. "You are an ornament, sir, to the profession," he said, shaking Nell's hand warmly. "You'll be a great man some day."

Nell's heart sank within her as the door closed, and she was alone with Sir William. She was afraid, she scarcely knew why. He did not leave her long in suspense. He came up to her, took her passive hands in his firm grasp. "Young lady," he said kindly, "I have penetrated your secret. You know I am an unapproachable anatomist"—smiling. "You are safe with me, and I wish you all success. Greater skill I never witnessed than I witnessed to-day and I have had much experience. Tell me one thing—I do not ask from idle curiosity—did you know Colonel Gordon before?" "Yes," she answered, trembling ••but I did not know it was he at fir.st. 1 begged my brother to let me see the case, as I had made surgery a more particular study than ho had, and so I was led on. Ho does not recognize tne, and did not know my HSMIHJ—1 was unly 'the doctor' to him till you told him. Sir William, you will not betray me? Randall can do all that is necessary now." "Doctor Helen Thanet," ho said, "you sec I know all about you—I've heai'd a good deal. Your secret, whatever it is, is safe with me but I refuse to give Dr. Randall Thanct the credit of what you have done. No one need kcow how you managed it: but the tase and your name must bo in the medical journals. And, take my advice, my dear young lady and feliowvvorker—take your brother's name oil' your door. You can only injure oa.eli other, 'illis is not a sort of thing you can do again with impunity. I've been old quite lately a good deal about your brother he is young enough to .'•boose anoiher eareer. 1 speak io you as I would to my own daughter. I only vish 1 had such a one.

Then he raised Nell's hand to his lips an.l took his departure. The advice given by Sir William Cheque was tollowed. Randall's name /..disappeared from his door only his lister's remained. He had retired from the medi-a! profession to follow that of literature, that was the simple

Announcement made—he preferred Vooks. Kut a grea!, ea.ro was taken off Nell's npprehoiisi ve heart, and an intolerable load oil' Randall's. lie could be himce!f now, live his own life, and feel tt hia fellow-man.

It was of necessity a Litter disappointment to liis father, who was at first disposed to resent it on Nell, and Inclined to regard her sttcoews as an actual injustice to her brother. It took time to force the ccnviction on

IPP

him of, in this instance, at any rate, female supremacy and, when at last he grudgingly admitted that his daughter had won what his son had lost, and that by superior acquirements, he qualified the acknowledgement by asserting that the latter had failed, not from lack of capacity, but because he had obstinately elected to become that "devious and indefinable thing a, litterateur,"

Prudent Mrs. Thanet never once said, "I told you so!" She was more than satisfied that for her boy the strain of a distasteful calling was at an end, and she wrote some words of approval and cheer, urging him to justify the step he had taken by doing what she was sure he would do, making the same mark in his new profession his sister had in the one of which she was such an ornament. And in time, in very despite of himself, her husband took an increasing interest in his daughter's career and pride in her triumphs but, by a strange contradiction, as it seemed, but in reality only in simple conformity to a nature given to fixed ideas, when the son, who had disappointed him so keenly did make the mark his mother predicted he would in the world of letters, he felt neither pride nor satisfaction, and acknowledged no merit.

A great eagerness seemed to have come on Doctor Randall Thanet's patient, an eagerness to recover. He was no longer quiet and enduring, he was restless and unsatisfied. "I did not know that you were my old acquaintance Randall Thanet," he said to the latter, the evening of the operation. "You have placed ine under a life-long obligation."

Randall chafed at the undosired acknowledgement. "I only discovered your identity," he said ha—iv, "by accident: but you take a wrong view of the matter it- is my profession that is under obligation to you. You have afforded it one of the most interesting cases of the day to me personally you owe nothing, absolutely nothing on the score of skill." '•Nurse, said the colonel, a few days later, "Doctor Thanet lias never been the same since the operation— I mean at night. I used to watch for his night-visits—he seemed to bring an atmosphere of soothing calm with him— he never now arranges my pillow—I asked him once but he was so awkward—and then his voice seemed to be so soft. It is such a strange metamorphosis. I can't account for it."

Mrs. Mcllan thought how easily she could but she only smiled, and said the Colonel was getting well and seeing things as they were, and not as he fancied. But the Colonel was not satisfied.

At last the day came when it was pronounced safe for Colonel LeslieGordon to be moved to the country. He was to go to his sister's countryseat. Randall came to bid him goodbye, and to see him safely conveyed to the station. He did not seem to require much care and he said so. Wasted still, and worn-looking, there were evidences of quickly returning strength. He had that morning dressed himself without assistance—he told Randall so with satisfaction—and the day before had taken a half-hour's walk in the Green Park without much fatigue, "I'm naturally strong," he said. "A week of country air will set me on my legs. You'll see that I'll be at the opening of Parliament." Then he paused, and added hesitatingly—"How is your sister, Randall? I can't forget you were only a lad when I was at—at Thorpe." "My sister is well," Randall replied, a little stilly. 'She lives with me"— he did not add she practised. "She—she went in for medicine, didn't sheP—to be a—a nurse, I suppose?" "My sister, Colonel Gordon, is one of the most rising physicians of the day. I hear the carriage—you mustn't be late for the train and, with an air of hauteur, Randall lifted the Colonel's wraps and led the way to the door.

It had been on Lyon Leslie's tongue to ask if his old acquaintance, the pretty Noll, still held him in remembrance but the flush on her brother's cheek warned him that he was on dangerous ground, With a heavy sigh, a feeling of intolerable smallness, a sudden swelling up of a yearning regret, a dissatisfaction with himself and with Randall, he followed the latter to the carriage. "1. will come .and see you," he said, as he took Randall's reluctant hand. "Will you remember me to your sister?"'

Randall bowed gravely, but said nothing.

CHAPTER VIII.

Colonel Gordon, in his anxiety to get well, had kept early hours at his sisters luxurious mansion. To-night the chimes (.'lock in the great hall had tolled the third hour of the morning before ho sought his pillow. For hours, whose Iliirhthe hardly noted, he had sat in a great arm chair before the lire, in his hand a lock of dark hair, and on a tiny table at his side a massive gold locket and chain close to this lay an open journal—the Lance The page at which it was open bore a mark from a blue pencil. He had read the article so marked until he could have repeated the article without hesitation. It was his own case. lie knew now to whom he owed his life.

Late on the following day, fi\re by his watch, ho stood in a little rwom where Doctor Helen Thanet received her patients in the forenoon, waiting her return from her rounds. She |vas not as punctual as usual. A difficult case, the servants supposed.

Randall was opportunely absent. He was not expected to return until thie morning.

She came at last, her light ulster op hor arm, and her close plain hat in hetr hand—glad that the day's work way ovQjr, jut a little tired and aniioufc

"A gentleman, ma'am, who would not be denied," the servant said "he has come with a message for you. He is not a patient"—for Nell saw no patients in her own house after a certain hour,

And thus these two were oice more face to face. The servant had gently closed the door as he retired from showing his mistress in.

For the moment Nell forgot the prostrate man, the fateful illness, the watching, and the anguish of the month that had passed she did not hear the faint moan, or see the feverlighted eyes and the hollow cheeks. Memory rushed back on her—a winter's day, now eight years a thing of the past. It filled her ears with the rush and bustle of a departing train and the imperative ring of a bell it sounded like a knell now. It showed her, in dim gas-light, an eager, halfashamed face bending towards hers. A warm, tremulous hand grasped hers. The words "Dinna forget" came back to her like a long-lost melody. Her lips moved as at a magnetic touch she shivered—the vain phantasy had passed, and she was herself once more—herself—calm, cool, but gentle withal. 'I am glad to see you so much better, Colonel Gordon," were the quiet, conventional words she spoke. She did not hold out her hand in greeting. "Will you not sit down? You must not try your strengtJi yet:" and she brought a chair forward.

He pushed it aside. With a sudden action, against which she was powerless, he seized her hand, and drew her to the fading light. He was still weak, even then she could, see that, and lie was pale and haggard: but liis eyes were eager: they looked a victor's. "Nell, Nell." he cried, "you haven't forgotten—I know you haven't! I owe you one life will you not give me back another? I have never loved another woman, though I have tried. I am rich now. 1 have a name. I lay all at your feet. Nell, my darling. Look at me with your sweet true eyes, as you did by the lake thai, summer day, and tell me you love me still, and —and—forgive me."

She did not try to release her hand. She stood calmly still, as she answered— "You say you have tried to love another. 1 never did, Lyon Leslie: you had my first, and you will have my last. I can never forget: but 1 will never marry you—never marry any one. Let my hand go free'1—he had drawn her nearer. "There is a gulf between us that can never be bridged. Leave me in peace. I am nor unhappy now."

She had struggled free, but did not turn aside. In the strength of betrayed trust, of conquered self, she stood erect and cold. Ali suddenly she seemed to him unapproachable as an accusing spirit, and invested with a dignity that raised her, even in person, above his height and yet she was but a slender girl, of no commanding presence, so to dpeak, and with no striking beauty to catch the eye. "Nell, I did you wang," he pleaded "but what could I do? I was poor in those days, and you were not all serious either, or you would not be given a

to tliat man who calls

himself the Baron von Melkenburg. I saw it—it was a link of the chain I sent you, and it had inside the words •dinna forget.' Then, as if suddenly inspired he continued, "I did love you, Nell, but when I found your love was not so very deep as I had believed, I thought myself free but I was not. Your spell has been on me always—I never could forget."

She looked at him with a strange wondering sorrow in her eyes. "Lyon," she said very gently, "you are even less true than I thought you. You know in your heart that I never gave that man the link he showed you. You knew it when he made the boast but you accepted the lie—it justified your falseness. You were present when he repeated that lie, and you saw the punishment he got but you said not a word. You are not a true man, Colonel Leslie-Gordon the Lyon Leslie I loved was a creature of my own creation, and. like the baseless fabrics of all such visions, lie has vanished. Do not mistake me: what I thought lie was I shall always love, and I shall dream no more dreams."

Then she turned quickly and opened a secret drawer in a cabinet, and laid in his hand the tiny link that had beon returned to her so many years ago. "Andrew Kennctt sent it baciv to me," she said "it was stolen from my room. Read that."

Ho obeyed her, taking from her a slip of paper and opening it. It ran thus— "I do confess I did take a link out of Miss Thanet's chain. I did find the chain on her table one morning her room was open, and I did do it for a bit of fun."

That was all. The document was signed in duo form by the Karon. "Then why," ho asked trembling, ashamed—"why did you return me the chain?" "Because," she replied simply— "because, Colonel Gordon, I read your note to my mother, and I thought it better to take no love-gift until I was old enough to understand the tender passion."

She looked at him, with no scorn in her sweet oyos, only very sorrowful, as if for both.

A moment's silence, and then a great wave of passion rose in the man's hear). He dashed the link into the fire, the chain and locket, too only the soft curl he held safe and close. 17e knelt to her, he pleaded his rescue from death at her hands— instinct told him we love the thing we servo—her own love, v. hicli ho defied her to Ueny or to live down he swore he would only live at her bidding, that body, soul and spirit were her's and her'g only for all time, and to all hereafter* U* challenged her to take on

her blood-guiltiness, *hat more than real life lay at her word—a human soul. "I will be what you make me. Nell you will raise me step by step till I come to your ideal once more, the Lyon Leslie, dear, who stood by your side, your hand in his, watching the forget-me-nots drift down the little steam. If no one had come between us with wordly wisdom and cold caution these words would never have been penned—other words would have been spoken that never could have been unsaid, and I would have been bound to you. We Leslies are men of honor, Nell." "Are you?" she said. "Then I do not rightly know what honor means. Do you know I am glad you did not speak those words, for then perhaps my eyes might have been opened too late now I remember one that perished." Her voice was soft and low, then it changed and she went on almost passionately, yet with a strong restraint that told how well self was governed. "I would net do you the injustice to marry you, Colonel Gordon, because I could never forget how lightly you held the love that was all the wotfld to me, and I could never trust you wholly. Can you realize now—perhaps you can, for I see you do suffer—that you blighted my woman's life, that you nearly broke my heart, Lyon Leslie? Hush!" she added, as he would have interrupted her. "Listen a brief moment! My art has taught me much, it has taught me of diseases so inhere at in the body as to be beyond the skill of medicine to cure: the taint can only be covered, but to break out again and again and as the body is. so is the mind. A taint, will break out again and again. Your heart is not sound, Lyon Leslie it would play me false again. It played you false this very hour, when you tried to lay the blame of your old cold caution on another, tried even to make me believe that you had thought me fickle you knew it was not truth you spoke. Untruth is inherent in your nature, and the taint will break out again and again. I will not link my fate with yours."

At these strong words his mood changed he was stung to the quick so stung, anger mastered shame. "So be it!" he cried. "I will not ask again your unnatural calling has made you cruel. You are. a pedant, you are self-righteous. If is human to err, it is divine to forgive you Avould not be divine if you could——"

He turned from her with a bitter pang she stood so meekly still, her spiritual face pale with anguish but there was no wavering there. She looked at him with a dumb reproach, and then, noting his changing color, she remembered how weak he must necessarily be still, as indeed he was—• things began to seem indistinct before him, and he caught at the table as he made for the door. "Say," she cried "drink this"— holding to his lips a cordial hastily poured out.

It was the old tone of authority strangely familiar to him it seemed natm-yi to him to obey. In his weakness he was conscious of the soothing sensation her presence had before produced, when she smoothed his sick pillow at nfght. "Nell," he said, pleading once more —"Nell, my very pride is dead. I will be abject to you. Will you not forgive?"

'Forgive you, Lyon Yes, I forgive you: but we meet no more." Her tears fell fast, but her voice was steady. She went on, taking his hand in her's and holding it as in farewell— "And do mc no further injustice, for the man I loved I 6hall love always, the Lyon Leslie I knew before that Valentine's Day eight years ago. No other shall ever take his plr^e for the years that may still be mine, I live for my art alone but"—she caught his hand and held it to her heart, looking up to him with eyes tull of pain and resolve, pouring out her words with sobs— 'Perchance and so thou purify thy soul, And so thou lean on our l'air father Christ, Hereafter in that world where all are pure. We two may meet before High God, ana thou Wilt spring to me and claim mo thine.'

She ceased. He stood, as if stunned, in his dumb agony. Then she leant forward, raised her face to his, which had sunk on his breast, laid a light kiss on his quivering eyes, and left him there.

A few weeks later, the departure of Colonel Leslie-Gordon for the Continent was announced. He had gone, so said the papers, to recruit his strength before assuming the command of his regiment, ordered to Africa on active service. Lady Masters accompanied him.

The Baron von Melkenburg did not make the noble alliance tho society journals had announced. At Nell's request Randall sought an interview with the Earl of Wratelm, and laid before him a short document containing certain revelations made by the late William Stubbs, once stud-groom to Squire Neltlet.horpe of Nettlethorpe Hall. That part of tho revelations touching sundry turf transactions wa pooh-poohed by the noblo Earl, but, when they extended to particulars o.' tho Baron's parentage and truo patronymic, which was—as set forth ir the said revelations—Bill Baits, his righteous wrath broke out, and his sense of honor experienced a sudden quickening. He was able to make very good terms with the illustrious foreigner, and Lady Wester Wolger has entered once more in tho homerunning for the matrimonial slakes.

Nell knows no hours of vain regret Her art fills her life but yet she some, timos questions, when for a brief tne ment that dull aching tolls how dofj her wound has been, if it is indeed "Better to have loved and lo-t
