It was a lover's quarrel, no doubt about about that, bky threatening a regular storm "brewing one could see at a glance. She stood, all flashed and excited, in the curtained bay window, her fair face clouded, her blue eyes flashing, her breath coming quick and faat. lie stood at her side, stern and pale, his hands clinched excitedly, his dark eyes full of sorrow and passion. "Allie 1" John Atislüigü'i voice was low and intense with feeling. 'It is all your fault, remember," he went on, with an effort at calmness. I have only requested you, kindlv, and gently and, as your betrothed husband, I surely have some right to desist from these foolish flirtations. "V hy,' Allie, you were flirting last pight with that Mr. Mayne, whom public opinion E renounces a a I can't tell you, only that e is not company for you, my dar ling!" John's voice lost its angry tone, and ttrew gentle and tender. 'You know that this would not trouble me so if you were not dearer to me than my own life. Say you are not angry with me, sweetheart." Dr John Ansleigh bent his handsome head, and his dark eyes gazed into Allie's lue ones. Hut the little lady was in a contrary mood that morning. She felt like anything but meek submission to the will of her lover, even though she knew all he had said was true, and prompted by his love and care for her. Allie Kay as an orphan, an heiress too, just released from the restrictions of boarding school life. She had lost both her parents in infancy, and had passed the eighteen years of her life under the care of hirelings and later, at a fashionable boarding school. And, pure as a flower, ehe had grown up amidst weeds. She had been betrothed to Dr. Ansleigh for nearly a year, and was now under his mother's care, passing a few weeks at a watering place. Society pronounced Allie a heartless flirt; but she was merely a thoughtless, careless girl, plunging headlong into the unaccustomed gaieties about her with all her heart. Surrounded by scores of admirers, no wonder her head was nearly turned into adulation and flattery. John Ansleigh's words had touched her pride. Did he then imagine that, because she was careless and happy, she was shallow and silly, and needed a guiding hand? She mentally resolved to cut Mr. Mayne's acquaintance tnat very day; but then John should not have the satisfaction of thinking that his words had instigated the step. John had no confidence in her love, she told herself. Y ell, let him think as he pleased. All the girl's defiant spirit was in arms; when John, at least, fearing that he had wounded her sensitive nature, attempted to set matters right, he was stricken dumb with amazement as she turned upon him a face that was white and angry, her blue eyes fairly scintillating. You've said enough, John Ansleigh 1" che cried, passionately. "I can see now the mistake I have made. We were never intended for each other; we are not suited. You want a wife that will obey like a puppet a woman with no will or'mind of her own a perfect Oriselda. And I can never submit to tyranny in any form. The man I love must trust me; and since you have ceased to do that, we are best apart. I give you back your freedom." Allie, stop I" - Dr. Ansleigh was white as a statue. "Do you mean what you say? You do not love me, then, Allie?" The girl was thoroughly aroused now, and regardless of consequences. "Not she said madly, "I do not love you any morel" She dashed aside the heavy curtains that draped the bay window, and was gone. And just then a man arose from the lounging chair beside the window, where he had been ostensibly reading, and sauntered slowly away. It was Mr. Mayoe, and there was a curious smile on his sensual lips and an evil light in his gray eyes. 'Listeners hear no good of themselves," he muttered, ""Well, maybe notj.but at any rate, I know which card to play Jiixt. Piqued and angry at Ansleigh, the beauty will turn tome. I'll play the heart-broken lover, step in before her anger against the handsome Doctor has time to cool, 'strike while the iron is hot' and I'm mistaken if I'm not engaged to Allie Kay and her $50,000 before the sun sets." 'The best laid schemes o' mice and men gang alt agleel" But Mr. Mayne had foreotten that. For a long time John sat in the bay window, his head bowed, staring his misery in the face. Could it be true that Allie no longer loved him? Ah, well, it was better for him to know the worst before it was too late. An hour or two later he saw Allie, radiant in white organdie and pink ribbons, sitting on a rustic seat in the hotel grounds in conversation with Mr. Mayne. John bit his lip and hurried away out of sight. "Well, after all, it was nothing to him now; he had no longer any right; Allie had ceased to love him. And only a few hours before ho would have staked his life on her love and truth. But John did not know what was taking place out there in the cool shade of the oak tree, beneath which Allie was sitting with her obnoxieus companion. Mr. Mayne had asked Allie to be his wife, and had been very decidedly, not to say contemptuously refused. And when he arose" and left her there was an angry gleam in his wicked eyes, while in his heart he registered an oath sooner or later to be revenged. Allie came down to dinner in the great dining room, at sunset, to find John's place vacant. Where is the Doctor?"some one was asking of John's mother, as Allie entered the room and took her usual seat. Mrs. Ansleigh looked troubled. 'There has been some accident," she said, some men were out fishing; the boat capsized, and two of them nearly drowned. Dr. Ansleigh was sent for in hopes that he could save tnem, their families being totally ignorant of any means of resuscitation.' But it is several miles down the beach, and I fear it will be late in the night before he can return." It chanced at that instant that Allie raised her eyes to encounter a glance from Mayne, who was her vis-a-vis. She could not repress a shudder as she saw the audacious triumph in his face. Dinner over, Allie threw her shawl about her and wandered off on the beach alone. The sun had set now, and twilight, weird and uncanny, was gathering. Allie wanted to get away from everybody, tobe alone with her thoughts. She sat down at the foot of

the tree and gave way to her bitter reflections. A voice aroused her and started her from her musings. It was the voice unmistakably of young Mayne eager, earnest. De bit at the bait mighty easy!" Mayne exclaimed; won't he be furious though, when he has had his long, hard ride for nothing, and finds that there' has been no accident nocapsized boat no half-drowned

men! Mayne paused and laughed heartily. 'And you're sure the bridge is unsafe?" he went on eagerly. "Oh, ys, sir!" another voice replied; the high waters and the late storms have lust played the mischief with the old thi. Nobody can pass on horseback without ioing through sure as shootin'l" "And there will be no mistake no failure?" queried Mayne. "Ansleigh will be sure to come back that way?" "He'll have to!" the other answered, grimly. "He went by the beach road, it is true, but he can't come back that way after night falls, for the tide is in now. No, sir, there ain't but one road for Dr. Ansleigh to come by, and that is over the bridge. And if he crosses or tries to cross tnat well, you know the rest!" ' And with a savage chuckle they moved awav. Alice sat half stunned at the revelation to which she had listened. She knew the whole vile, murderous plot now. This was Mayne's vengeance! In a flash she saw her own way clearly. She had brought this on John Ansleigh she must save his lite, though she lute her own. She staggered to her feet, and drawing her shawl closely about her, turned away in the direction of the bridge, perhaps half a mile distant from the hotel, To be sure she did not even know the road he bad taken; but if she could only cross the retten structure she could then wait his coming on the other side. She reached the place at last. Gathering all her courage together, she stepped upon the old bridge. It was nearly dark now, but with an agonized prayer for protection. she moved onward. Even beneath her light weient it tottered and snook, öne could see, away down below, the black, angry water, wun its swiii, awiui current, swollen by recent rains, and choked by driftwood; it was n wild sight there in the gathering gloom. Onward she moved, holding her breath, and with clasped hands and dilated eyes watching the other side. ' . Thank Goal she is over afe at last! She sank down on a mossy stump, and, crouching down, awaited John's coming. And darkness gathered and fell on all things. Sne felt timid and afraid; but she calmed her fears a3 best she might, and re mained patientl v at her post. An hour passed. What if he were not coming home to-nicht? The thought made her heart stand still. But even then she heard away in the distance, the tramp of a horse's feet coming nearer nearer. She arose and stepped forward. The moon had arisen now, and its clear rays showed her plainly that it was really John. She stepped into tne road. She foreot everything all that had happened that day and, raising her voice, she cried willly: John! Oh, JohnI" Dr. Ansleigh checked his horse and paused. irresolute. Iiis heart beat tremulously; he could not credit his own eyesight. "Allie! my God!" he gasped, what is the matter?" He sprang from his horse and in a moment more she was in his arms, her head on his breast, while she sobbed out the whole story. John listened with a new light in his eyes, his heart full of happiness. And while they stood there, alone in the midnight, with a great rush and a roar the old bridge went down. John shuddered and drew Allie closer to him, while a thankful prayer went up to lleaven. My darling," he muttered, softly, "you have saved my life." At first the problem of how they were to cross the river seemed too difficult to be solved; but after a while John found an old boat with a couple of rough oars which had been left there and forgotten; and the way became clear at once. Tying his horse to a great tree to remain until he could send for it, on the morrow, when the tide would be out and the beach road passable John assisted Allie into the old boat, and thev. made the passage in safety. Home in Mrs. Ansleigh's cozy parlor, where the mother was anxiously awaiting her son's return (she had not missed Allie, but supposed she was safely in her own room), John told her the whole story, . And when he had finished he laid his hand upon Allie's. 'You risked your own life," he said, his voice all a tremble, "to save mine: Why did you do it, Allie?" And Allie answered bravely their quarrel a thing ot the past and forgetting the words she had said that very morning: "Because I love you, John." Wisdom From the French.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS. An Awtul Scene. BT MIMMY BROWN. Harper's Young People. I have the same old story to tell. My conduct has been such again at any rate, that's what father says; and I've had to go up stairs with him, and I needn't explain vtor . that means It seems very hard, for I'u tried to do my very beet, and I'd heard Sue say, '-That boy hasn't misbehaved for two days; good gracious, I wonder what can be the matter with him I" Ihere s afatillity about it. I m sure, roor father! I must give him an awful lot of trouble, and I know he's had to get two new bamboo canei this winter, just because I've done so wrong, though I never meant to do it. It happened on account' of coasting. We've got a magnificent hill. Tie road runs straight down the middle of it, and all you have to do is to keep on the road. There's a fence on one side, and if you run into it something has got to break. John Krugor, who Is a stupid sort of a fellow, ran into it last week head first, and smashed three pickets, and everybody said it was a mercy he hit with his head, or he might have broken some of his bones and hurt himself. There isn't any fence on too other side, but if you run oil the road on that side, you'll go down the side of a hill steeper than the roof of the Episcopal Church, and about a mile long, with a brook full of stones down at the bottom. The other night Mr. Travers said But I forgot to say that Mr. Martin is back again, and coming to our house worse tnan ever, lie was there, and Mr. Travers and Sue, all sitting in the parlor wherowI was behaving, and trying to make things pleasant, when Mr. J ravers said, "It s a bright moonlight night, let's all go out and coast." Sue said. ' O that would be lovely; Jimmy, get your sled." I didn't encourage them, and I told father so, but he wouldn't admit that Mr. Travers or Sue or Mr. Martin or anybody could do anything wrong. What I said was, "I don't want to go coasting. It's cold and I don't feel very well, and I think we ought all to go to bed early so we can wake up real sweet and good-tempered." But Sue just said, 'Don't you preach, Jimmy; if you're lazy just say so, and Mr. Travers will take us out." Then Mr. Martin he must put in and say, "Per baps the boy's afraid, don't tease him; he ought to be in bed, anyhow." Now I wasn't going to stand this, and so I said, "Come on. I wanted to go all the time, but I thought it would be best for old people to stay at home, and that's why I didn't encourage you." So I got out my doubleripper, and we all went out on the hill and started down. I sat in front to steer, and Sue eat right behind me, and Mr. Travers sat behind her to hold her on, and Mr. Martin sat behind him. We went splendidly, only the dry bnow flew so that I couldn't see anything, and that's why we got off the road ana on to the 6ide hill before I knew it. The hill was just one glare of ice, and the minute we struck the fee the sled started away like a hurricane I had just time to hear Mr. Martin say, 'Boy. mind what you're about or I'll get ff," when she struck something I don't know what and everybody was pitched into the air, and began sliding on tho ice without anything to help them except me, I caught on a bare piece of rock, and stopped myself. I could see Sue siUing up straight, ana sliding like a streak of lightning, and crying, "Jimmy, father, Charles, Mr. Martin, O my, help me' Mr. Travers was on his stomach, about a rod behind her, and gaining a little, on her, and Mr. Martin was on his back, coming down head first, and beating them both. All of a sudden he began to go to pieces. Part of him would slide off one way, and then another part would try its luck by itself. I can tell you it was an awful and surreptitious sight. They all reached the bottom after awhile, and when I saw they were not killed, I tried it myself and landed all right. Sue was sitting still, and mourning and saying, "My goodness gracious I shall never be able to walk again. My comb is broken and that boy isn't fit to live." Mr. Travers wasn't hurt very much, and he fixed himself all right with some pins I gave him, and his handkerchief. But his overcoat looked as if he had stolen it from a scarecrow. When he had comforted Sue a little (and I must say some people are perfectly sickening the way thev goon), he and I collected Mr. Martin all except his teeth and helped put him together, only I got his leg on wrong side first, and then 1 helped him home. This was why my father said that my conduct was such, that his friend Martin didn't seem to be able to come into his house without being insulted and injured by me. I never insulted him. It isn't my fault if he can't slide down hill without coming apart. However, I've had my last suffering on account of him. The next time he comes apart where I am, I shall not wait to be punished for it, but shall start straight for the North Pole, and if I discover it the rstish Government will pay me mor'n a million dollars, I'm able to sit down this morning, but my s pirits are crushed, and I never shall enjoy life any more. Sentenced to be Shot Farmer Owen's son had been found asleep when doing sentinel duty, and he was sentenced to be shot. A telegram had been received by his father, saying that the sentence would be carried out in twentyfour hours. Mr. Allan, the minister, called to do what he could to comfort the sorrowing family. During his visit a letter arrived; Blossom, the farmer's little daughter, opened the door and received it. "It is from," was all she said. it was like a message from the dead. Mr. Owen took tbe letter, but could not break the envelope on account of his trembling fingers, and held it toward Mr. Allan, with the Helplessness of a child. The minister opened it, and read as follows: "Dear Father When this reaches you Ishall be in eternity. At first it seemed awful to me; but I have thought about it so much now, that it has no terror. They say they will not bind me nor blind me, but that I may meet my death like a man. I thought, father, that it might have been on the battle-field for my country, and that when I fell, it would be fitghing gloriously; but to be shot down like a dog for nearly betraying it to die for neglect of duty O, father, I wonder the very thought does not kill met But I shall not disgrace you. I am going to write you all about it, and when I am gone, you may tell my comrades. You know'X promised Jimmie Carr's mother I would look after her boy; and when he fell sick I did do all I could for him. lie was not strong when ordered back into the ranks, and the day before that night I . carried all his luggage, besides my own, on our march. Toward night we went in on a double quick, and though the luggage began to feel very heavy, everybody else was tired too. And as for Jimmie if I had not lent him an arm now and then, he would have dropped by the way. I was all tired out when we went into camp, and thon it was Jimmy's turn to be sentry and I would take his place; but I was too tired, father. I could not have kept awake though a gun had been pointed at my head; but I did not know it until well until it was too late." God be thanked," said Mr. Owen. "I

knew Bennie was not the boy to sleep careless at his post.'' They tell me to-day that I Lave a short reprieve time to write to you our good Colonel says. Forgive him, father, he only does his duty; he would gladly save me if

he could. And do not lay my death against Jimmie. The poor boy is broken-hearted and does nothing but beg and entreat them to let him die in my stead. "I can't bear to think of mother and Blossom. Comfort them father. Tvll them 1 die as a brave boy should, and th.t:, when the War is over, they will not be ashamed of me as they must be now. God help me; it is very hard to bear. Good-bye, father. God seems near and dear to me, as if lie felt sorry for his poor, broken-hearted child, and would take me to be with Him in a better, better lie. I To-night I shall see the cowt coming home from pasture, and precious little Blossom standing on the stoop, waiting for me; but I shall never never come. God bless you all. Forgive your poor Bennie." Late that night a little figure glided down the foot-path to the railway station. The guard, as he reached down to lift her into the carriage, wondered at tho tear-stained face that was upturned toward the dim lantern he hold in his hand. A few questions and ready answers told him all, and no father could have cared more tenderly for his only child than he for our little Blossom. She wa3 on her way to Washington to ask President Lincoln for her brother's life. She had brought Bennie's letter with her; no good, kind heart, like the President's, could refuse to be melted by it. The next morning they reached New York, and the guard hurried her on to Washington. Kvory minute now might be the means of saving her brother's life. The President had just seated himself to his evening's task, when the door softly opened and Blossom, with downcast eyes and folded hands, stood before him. 'Well, my child," he said, in his pleasant, cheerful tones, What do you want?" 'Bonnie's life, please, sir," faltered Blossom. Benniel who is Bennie?" "My brother, sir. They are going to shoot him for sleeping at his post." "Oh, yes, I remember. It was a fatal sleep. You see, child, it was a time ot special danger. Thousands of lives might have been lost by his negligence.'' "So my father said," replied Blossom, gravely. "But poor Bennie was so tired, and Jimmie so weak. He did the work of two, sir, and it wu Jimmie's night, not his; but Jimmie was too tired, and Bennie never thought about himself, that he was tired, too." "What is this you say, child? Come here, I do ?tot understand." And tho kind man, as ever, caught eagerly at what seemed to be a justification ot an offense. Blossom went to him. He put his hand tenderly on her shoulder, and turned up the pale, anxious face toward hie. How tall be seemed 1 And he was President of the United States, too. A dim thought of this kind passed for a moment through little Blossom's mind; but she told her simple straightforward story, and handed Bennie's letter to Mr. Lincoln to read. He read it carefully; then, taking up pen, wrote a few hasty lines and rang bis bell. Blossom heard this order given: ''Send this dispatch at once." The President then turned to the girl, and said, "Go home, my child, and tell that father of yours, who could approve his country's sea tence,' even when it took the life of a child like that, Abraham Lincoln thinks the life far too precious to be lost. Go back, or wait until to-morrow; Bennie will need a change after he has so bravely faced death; he shall go with you." "God bless you sir I" said Blossom. Two days after this interview, the young soldier came to the White House with his little sister. He was called into the President's private room, and a strap was fastened on his shoulder. Mr. Lincoln then said, "The soldier that could carry a sick comrade's baggage, and die tor the act so uncomplainingly, deserves well of his country." Then Bannie and Blossom took their way to their Green Mountain home. A crowd gathered at the railway station to welcome them bac; and, as Farmer Owen s hand grasped that of his boy, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he was heard to say. fervent ly, "The Lord be praised."
