Ilr Mri. AAdim Zettch Frank. CHAPTER XV. At a famous but retiring watering place ia the southern part of F anc may be seen hundred o! g:mta c ;miDg mi going. Gaesta iron far abd near, representing many nations. Some come for pleasure, to Tieir the beautiful scenery, while many come in search of health. The hotel is large an J wt!l bailt, to accommodate from a thccuand to fifteen nun dreJ guests. Oa ih prrch, which rans tne whole length and breadth of the house, Bits aLaadsome young mas. emoting a cigar, yrho is CTidently lost in dep thousht. Betide him is a middle aeJ gentleman who aits idly gating at his con. Theas two men are Eugene Hay and his father. Mr. Hay has gTown stronger day by day, until he is cow almost well. His son has grown thinner and paler, and his eyes hare ! & grave, tad expression. His cheeks are no longer rosy and he is silent most of tne lime. Six bng months have piased by, and he has not received one lice or word from the girl he 1 j?e3 so well. "My son, I have made up ray mind to start for home to-morrow, aj I eel strong and well, and I fear this climate dce not agree wita you, as yoa are looking wretched," said Mr. Hay. "Nonsense, father, I am perfectly well. I do not want ever to return to America." 'What do yoa mean, Eogene? I would not live ia Europe the remainder of my life UEi(?rany consideration." ' j.t least let us remain abroad as longa it was our first intention of daing," Eigene said r eadingiy. "I tar, Kugene, that something worse is tbe matter wita you than yoa are willing to acknowledge to me. By the way, have you heard from Meta. lately?" "Not for teversl months." "It is this, then, which causes you to look so pale and thin." "I loved her father and love her yet with all my heart. The thought of her proving untrue to me is more than 1 can bsar." ; :öüe seemed to be a meat noble girl, and I am mich surprised at her conduct. Bat, my boi, there are many more who would i6 tree.'' "She nas shaken ray faith ia all her sex." "You must not eay that, Eugene, for you had a mother who was ml that maucoull wish for. Becure one woman nas proven herself false 13 srered promise, isthat a reason her sex shcuia all bacondemed? Oh no, my boy. yea are not wise in allowing your mil d to dwell iiKu such unjuät thoughts." "lo not blame me, fatjer; I can not help it." "Here comes your cousin ; what a handsome lady she is." "Handsome indeed but heartless," answered Eugene Bcernfully. "You are wrong, tine can not prevent XLen from falling in love with her. 1 wsuid to (iod yon would make her your wife." ""Would jou have me marry ber when my hfart belongs to Meta Woodruf?" "She lnvfs you, Eogene, and would make yoa love her. Marry her, my boy, aad make my old a.e happy." "What if she iefuse my ollerof marriage?" said Entere thoughtfully. "She will not, can not, loving yoa as she does." Mr. Hay bad no reason to believe his niece lovid his eon, except that he thought every- : love ma noble noy. 'Then aa it plessosyou, father, I will marry her, for tince Meta can be nothing to me, I care for no one as I do yoa. "God bWs yon, Eueene; yna are a dutiful son," he said thaking Eugene's band warmly. As she ia coining this way I will retire to my ioom; uj mind ii too mnch disturbed to meet ber as I should," he said, turning away from his father. He did not want him to xeid in his face the pain it cost him to comply with his wish ; he would rather remain single the remainder of his life than to marry a woman he did not love. Entering his room he threw himself across his bed and wfpt like a child. Oh, Eugene! why do jou do this? 7hydo yoa not return to Meta Woodruf and ask her for &n explanation of her cruel conduct? That unhappy girl would welcome you only too jrladly, for in spite of all you say and think to the contrary she is true to you. He had no doubt but what Meta had received his letters; it was not pride which kept .him from going to her. It film did not answer his Utters, so full of love and tender pleading, the surely would not eee him. "Ah, uncle, you are looking so well this mcrning; I dare say you will be wanting to return home soon," said Fiossy, as she came up to her uncle. I do now. child." 'I do not blame you In the least, for I am alo tired of Francs, French people and fashionable French society, and long for home again." "I had thought that perhaps we rnfgst be comp lied to leave you here, as some of ttese noblemen eeem to be desperately in love with my beautiful niece." he said, watchiDg ber attentively. "Yet, I do not care for them. But I must tell yon of some one I do care for very much," ehe aaid, her eyes eparkling with pleasure. "Eugene, of course," exclaimed Mr. Hay. "I do like him, but not tu I do someone else. He is so nice, uncle; he has larce, handsome black eyes and a moustache which ia charming. His name is well, I shall never tell you unless he aj3 me to" 'Flcs3y, I was in hops that you would one day be my daughter." MWhat do you mean, uucls?"' she asked in astonishment. 'That 1 wart yoa to marry Eugene. I thou2ht you loved him." "Yoa are wron?. How little yoa understand my rature. dear uncle. One would tblnk that at your age yon could read and understand everyone. ' "Unfortnratelj I am neither a clalrvoint or a mind reader." "I do not believe that such a gift was ever givn to mortal being." "Kevertheles it is true. But it ia of no ma in mv tryinz to convince yoa of this -fact, for I know I shall fail ia the attempt-" "You are very kind to yourself, more so than to your niec. By tbe way, I received a letter from a friend of mine in New York, in xblr.h she told me of the disappearance of a Miss Meta Woodruf." "Has she eloped with someone?" Mr. Hay asked, excitedly. "My friend says nothing definite is known of ber disappearance, bat it seems that some mystery is connected with it" "Poor, miserable child, it is all her father's doing, for he married a woman not fit for his wife one whom I heard was yery nnkind to Meta." "What is that you were saym , father?" asked Eugene, as he came out to arhere his father and Flosy were. He had remained in bis room but a short time. Bistng from the bed, he bathed his face and eyes, and returned to the porch with a heart heavy as lead, just in time to bear his father mention the name of the woman be loved. fiTicaay has just received a letter from, a

friend, tayinz that Meta Woodruf has disappeared from her home " "My God! Can this be possible? Who accompanied her in ber flight?" 'None bat God knows, my son; at least, that is yet a secret." ''How unlike the innocent girl she used to be. I would to God that I had never left her" Even though Eueene knew that Meta bad not kept her faith with him, be lovd her, and yet looked for a letter, a word to Call him home to ber; but when hi3 father told him cf her disaptearance he wai convinced at occe of tbe rt-ason for her not writing to him. He fully believed that she had e!oped with another. Hi father was very anxious for him to marry Fiosy. Why should he cot do as he wished, tinea Meta was ljst to him forever? "I am going for a walk, Flo3sj, will yoa go with me?'1 he aked. "Of course I will, but you look more like ljing down than walking. Yoa may luu on my arm if you like," she sali, looking up into his face with ejes full of sistiriy love and tenderness as they decended the step. "I am all rieht, Flcsy; you must not make such a child of me. How beautiful tue sunset is. It seems to sink down into the ocean and the mighty waters grap it in their embrace as if ieekiog to destroy its sp'endor." "It reminds me, Eugene, of life, Iv and trouble. God has given us a part of his existence. He means for us to take care of it and not allow trouble to darken or destroy it; i or allow love for a dear one lo;t to us dim the splendor of it." "You are rather personal in jour remarks, con: in." "Forgive me. Eugene; I did not maa to be, although I know enough of year life to know that you once loyed Meta Woodruf very much. I am sorry ehe has proven false to one bo true as yoa are " "FJojsy, let me tell you of an agreement we made when I saw her l3t. Whea either of us ceased to write to the other our encasement was to be considered broken, bat she with great tears in her lovely eyes vowed to be true to me whether she recäived a letter from me or cot." "Bat did you write to her as often as you promised you would ? ' "Yes, and more You see she hai made me lose faith in all her Bex." "How unjust yoa are. I hope your condemnation of my sex dees not extend to my self, as cot only to you but every one ehe I have endeavored to be worthy the love, respect and trust they have bestowed upon me so lavisaly." "l'ernaps in the past I have judged you with the reel, bat I dare not in the future, FIcfsy, for I want you to be my wife. Will jou do as I ask? ' "I can net, Eugene, for I do not love von." 'Yoa will learn to love me. Fio?sy," exclaimed this wrf tcviPd man. "I will be very kind and gentle with you, never ali jwin trouble to cjtne near you." "If we are kind to i dog or other brate3 they will love m. Unlike them, you coal l rot win my love in that way, for I can never love yon more than I do now. Besides, Eugene, your heart beioncj to another. Ami not rit;bt? Ah, you do not answer me; you art) silent. Eugene. Are you afraid to tell the truth?'' "I am not. That is all over now. and you must never epeait of her aain. Her name is to nie as she is they are both dead." As Eugsna taid this he stopped and stood in front of Flof3y, with hands clenched and face as white as siarble. "Sit down, Eugene; you are not well," she said, pitying her nnfcappy cousin. "Well, I never will bs atin in min i. Flossy, I want you to be my wife; you must cot refuse me. She must" never know tbe sorrow her cruel conduct has caused me."

"l on must give me a little time to think over this matter. To morrow we start for home; your father thinks of going with us. After 1 reach home and consult minima about this, I will give you my answer." 4,I am Impatient and would rather b ave my answer now, so that on arrival In America 6he may hear of our engagement." "Then, much against my will, I consent to jour entrtties. fiat, Eugene, if at any time before we are married I think it impossible to care more for you than I do now, I will expect you, at my request, to release me from this engagement." "You are bonest, Flossy, and though our future does not look very bright nov, we may live to thank God for uniting us." He did cot take bar in his arms and kiss her as lovers generally do, wben they have just received from a loving girl the promise to become their wife. He took her little hand in his and pressed it tenderly, for even though be did not love her he was conscious of tbe sacrifice she was making for him. How generous she was. Flcsy was cot happy, and insisted upon returning to the hotel at once. Once in her room stie knelt down by her bed and tried to pray, for this beautiful woman had not oeen spoilt by tbe world enough to forget where to go for comfort. But try a she would h?r lips would cot move. Her heart was not in her own keeping. Down stairs in the ball room a large crowd of merry people were dancing to the beautiful (trains of music Standing at one of the windows talking to his father was Eagene Hay. How hsndome ha looked in his evening dress. His eyes were turned towards the dcor; he was looking for Fios3y, who had gone out on the porch with a gentlem-an whora Engene hid never ssen before, except when Flotsy had pointed him cut at the opera, when they were in Paris. At the end of en tour Flo?sy and her companion re entered the ball room and went directly over to where Eugene and his father were. "Uncle, allow m to Introduce to you ray friend, Mr. Eeed; Mr. Heed, my uncle, Mr. Hay." fche a'so introduced him to Eugene, and then, at Mr. Heed's request, lor one more waltz, the last, the took his arm and was soon whirling around the room to the masio of one of Straus' waltze3. How happv she was, clasped in tbe arms of but there, Via telling you a vcret which belongs to some one else. After this waltz the band played "Home, Street Home," and the ball room wa3 soon deserted. "Gocd night and good bye, Mr. Heed, as you krow we start lor home early in the morning before you hsve opened your eyes " "I am very sorry, Mhs Hay, as our acquaintence, which has been bo pleasant to ice. has just begun " 'I must confess that I am a little sorry myself." "Do you mean 'I mean nothing more than 1 have said," Interrupted FIcssy. "Miss Hay, when I return to America, wbicb will not be later than the week . after yoa arrive home, may I have the pleasure of calling upon you?" "Certainly; I shall be only too glad to meet any friend I have met here or in my travels. You will always be welcome at our home," she replied a little aadly, her eyes cast down and her lips quiyericg. "Thank you. Miss Hay. I had hoped to speak to you of mysslf to-night, bat I have waited until it is too late." "Yes, it is late. Good-bye, Mr. Reed," she Slid, drawing her hand away from his. ia which be had been holding it for some time. "No, I will not say good-bye to nieht, as I intend to be up in time to see you oil. Good nicht." She turned away from him, ran up the stairs and into her own room. Oace more the knelt at her bedside, but this time it was

to bury htr head into the bed-clothes and weep Her whole frame shook at if her heart were breaking. Bat why did she bjr row all this trouble? If she did not love Eugene Hay, why did she not tell him 80 say to him that she would never msrry bin, and ask him to release her from aa engagement which made her so wretched? How many of us borrow trouble just a? Flossy Hay was dDing! I? it right to make m I? rable that which was given us to make the best of? Sue had consaoted to bsEigene's wife, thinking, as he ha I said, that she would learn to love him. 8he also thousht tbat she might make him happy; she was so kind, so generous, ever ready to sacrifice her own fcapplnesi for othars. Mr. Heed, t-i to his word, was ud aad down in the parlor by the tima Flbs3y, her father, Eugene and his father were. The trunks were all strapped aad sat oa ahead. Eagene and his father and uacle started oat to the carriage which wai wiiting to convey them to the nearest railway stat.on. Flossy and Mr. Ileed followed a short distance behind. "I wish jou were going with us, Mr. Rad. I am sure we would all have a pleauut jdurDey "I do not doubt that in the least. Hall known of your intention of departing so soon I should have tried to have been redv to go at the same time. However, it will not be long before I shall see von a?in." "Until then good bye, Mr. Reed." "Good bye, Misj Hay. God grant yoa a safe journey," he replied, kissiug ths "sm.i'l hsnd she held oat to him.

They had reach?d tbe carriage. L'.fting i he stood by the gate until thecirriag drove away, waving hia handkerchief until they were out of sight. He then started out for n walk, as it was time for the san to rise, and a sunrise in this beautiful placs was a sight ever to be remembered. Eugene had not noticed or thought any thing of Mr. Reel's and Flos?y's action?, es she had informed him that he was a deir friend of hers. Bat his father hid noticed it, and not knowing of Easene's enga;ment, felt greatly alarmed over that wUlch behadfeen. a3 he loved his nlec?, and a? we already know, was anxious for his son to marry her. He was perfectly deUghtM when Eagene toldihim and his brctherjn Flossy's presence, cf their engagement aad asked their consent and blessing. "Eugene, von must make my chi'.d happy, for she h&j never known what trub! K May God Ue33 yoa both," ai.d Fiossy's father. "Trust me, uncle, for I will do all in my power to make her so." "My son, you havo at list done that which pleases me most. Bat I would have you remember, yen will no: have a man under your protection, but a woman; b gentle aol fcind to her always. Yoa both hdfe my b!e?.r,g." Poor FIcssy, fitting back in a corner of tbe carriage, waa much snrprhod and not a little vexed, when Eosena placed hfs arm around her waist and impmted a kiss upon her prtty lips and said: "I will reoismber, father, and with Gods aid will do my duty." liow she wished they would change ths subject; but they bad almo3t reached ths station before they did, and tha elcornd the change a3 a dying man would she laU breath, in nrder to terminate his suffering Their journ-y had beau a pleasant one. bat not so much as it might have been had not one of tbe party been so unhappy. I fai l one, bnt I think I should have bejn neirar right if I bad Eaid two of them; neither knsw how unhappy the other wa. Both Flos?y and Eugene strove to hida behind smiling faces hearta full of sorrow, and the deception wss a success Tbe first cf February found our travelers once more in America, and they were all glad to be at home once more, except Eagene. A3 he entered hi room h?. jiw hz:i and there presents given him by Mota. great many the work of her own hands. Ha did not touch them, hut turned and loft the room, closing and locking the door after him and placing the kev in his pocket, sayicg to himself that he would destroy everything befor he was married, cr return them to Meta. He went to the housekeeper and had another room prepared for himself, giving her no reason whatever for his strange conduct. While she would liked to have known, she knew better than to ak. After his room had been made comfortable, Eugene did not leave it again until the next morning; neither did he sleep, but spent the night ia pacing the floor aad griefin over his great lots. i ONTiNtren to morrow CINCINNATI ELECTION CASE.

Mr. Stewart, of the committee, argued the testimony was admissible, but tnat it. was impossible to prove repeating unless the admissions or rept aters are admitted. He believed there were rpLalers on both 6ides here in October, and there ought to be repeaters here until the ö'.ate furnished a dec? nt registration Luv.
