A Lost Letterv^

fi tf5

We must enter the fashionable church of a prosperous country tofrn. On this particular Sunday, ana coirtrnry to the usual arrangement, Alice Lahnuian, the contralto, and Arthur Gilbert, the tenor, sat together on one side of the organist, Mabel Strickland and Herbert Stacy, soprano and bawo, on tho other.

Of theso four persons, Alice Lahnmat and Herbert Stacy gave the usual amount of attention to their duties and nothing save the small coquetries and whispered flatteries common to volun tary, and perhaps to other, choirs, in terrupted their enjoyment of their ovrti and their mental criticism of the others performance.

With Miss Strickland and Mr. Gilbert all was ditl-rent. Miss Strickland probably could not have looked plain if she had tried, but she approachcd it as nearly to-day as Heaven had made it possible! In Arthur Gilbert a change had taken place since his entrance into the church,which could not have escaped the observation of his companions, had they not been entirely taken up with themselves. His manner then had been radiant with such a glad, bright hopefulness that it ought to have been a pleasure merely to look at him. On taking his usual seat besido Mm Strickland, he had leaned forward and spoken to her in a whisper —an ardent whisper, it would have seemed—receiving in return the frigidly spoken anl very distinctly audible monosyllablo "Xo." A hurt and hurried remonstrance had then been answered by tho lady?s crossing over and taking the peat usually occupied to Miss Lahnuian. Sinco then she had not glanced toward him. Amazement sat at ilrst alono upon his brow but its place was soon divided with the indignation of feeling causelessly outraged. During the whole service "he waged with himself a terrible warfare. To leave her to along repentance—bitter enough ho knew it would be—was the resolution constantly combated by the better determination to make at least one attempt to understand her conduct.

At last the service approached its close. Tho solemnlienediction was pronounced over the bowed hoadsof the congregation. Tho people slowly dispersed. Miss Lnhiunnn paused to arrange her ribbons, and to permit Mr. Stacy to join her, if suck should be his

lea.sure. With downcast eyes Miss passed quickly down stairs, evidently solicitous for a companion. But after a thousand struggles with pride, Mr. Gilbort had conquered himself. He mot iier at the foot of tho stairs, and would have walked besido her. She paused with decision.

Do you not intend to allow me to walk wtth you, Mabel?" Mr. Gilbert asked, in a voieo of suppressed emotion but already ho was growing angry again.

I am much obliged, but prefer td bo alone," said Miss Strickland. Is it trim, then, that you were wounded so deeply? Is it possible, Mabol, that you have not vet forgiven me?"

I have forgiven you so fully," replied Miss Strickland, slowly and coldly, "that I have forgotten both the offenso and tho offender. Bo kind onough, if you please, to let me pass."

Ho stepped back a littlo, looking at her In wonder but ho spoke once more, in a voice made intense by deep fooling.

Think one momomt, Mabel.,.Do you ronliaw what you are doing?" "Iquite rea'llKe that no pentloman detains a lady against her will. When it is j'ouf pleasure to allow mo, I shall bo glad to go on."

And this is our farewell That lum already boon spoken. I hoped boen llnal."

Mr. (jJU .rt bowod profoundly ^d stepped a !v lf-r face wits an emotionless ni:ik but upon his amazoment, pain, and anger, were plainly painted.

Before Miss Strickland ranches home a very fdw words will throw light upon the reason—r Unreason—of her conduct to her betrothed lover.

A lover's quarrel had begun, as such quarrels usually do, about a trifle. Unhappily, In this Instance, tho Impetuosity of the gentleman, Irritated oy the cold pride of the lady, had widened tho breach until it had grown to formidable dimensions, each dwelling upon their own particular grievance, ami oacli declining to take that step that hurts—the first one. But throoor four days passed in this way had plainly demonstrated to oach how dear was tho band with which thev were trilling. Ml we Strickland waited eagerly for some token of repentance Mr. Gilbert looked anxiously and iu vain for a sign that repentance would be acoepted. But, after all, he knew that the initiative was his part, and, love and generosity urging hit*, ho took it—In an unfortunate manner. Detained from church this morning, ho sent to Miss Strickland note full of love and magna til mo ua blame a yota that would have touched a very much harder heart than her*. Hut she nev.v received it. Sitting In her pl*ee in the choir, before *ervlo8,»be saw Joe—the nohnppy wi»ht who blow the organ—aotning up tho step* with a note in his hand, and upon hla countenance, shining with the recent application of brown soap, a look of unusual perturbation.

ouliarly undesirable manner. Counsel ed by 'anger, Miss Strickland believed him. She saw Mlas Lahtunau read the note—saw her smile and blush. After that sho s. very little more during the day. And Mr. Gilbert's words ai the church door seemed to her no more than a gratuitous iusult.

Four weeks passed alter that Sunda without a word of explanation. Xor she onoe see her lover. Time forgot his wings, and crept on leaden feet* Miss Strickland's face grew noticeably paler and thinner a look of expectanoy became almost habitual to her eyes and rtled her

lips Tho postman's ring stai A sudden voioe. a step qaicL— usual, sent a rapid flush into ber cheeks, which, fading, loft her paler than be fore. Instead of saddening, however, she was even gayer and more vivacious than was usual or perhaps even natural with her. But her health sank under the effort, despite her courage, and at length her mother, besoming alarmed proposed a sojourn among the mountains.

So to the mountain they went. But now, weakened a little by the ill health from which all ber pride could- not shield her, Mabel begged for quiet— some pleasant farm-house, not the great crowded, noisy hotel

Money can tind almost nay thing, and they discovered the Arm-bouse, the ideal farm-house, large, pleasant, beautifully situated, and containing, as their hostess told them, but three or four boardere besides themselves.

It would bo perfect," said Mabel, sinking on the couch when the landlady had left them—"it would be perfect, if there was nobody, mamma, but just you aod me."

The day following their arrival Miss Strickland was too unwoll to go down stairs at all: but the next evening, feeling better, sae went down" to tea. Mrs Kittrell, the landlady, casually remarked that two of her boarders had walked that afternoon to tho top of a bill famous for its view. Miss Strickland, sho added, would find them verv pleas ant, lively people, and, bhe hoped,would like them.

Oh, no doubt of it," said Miss Strick land, with languid politeiiess. "What are their names, Mrs. Kittrell

The two that I have been speaking of aro from your city, too. How pleasant if you should happen to know them! They are Mr. Arthur Gilbert and Miss Alice Lahnman."

There was a scarcely perceptible pause. Miss Strickland brushed something from her shoulder.

I beg your pardon, Mrs. Kittrell. I know Miss Lannman very well indeed, and have met Mr. Gilbert several times also, though so casually I can scarcely call him an acqua'ntanco." Then the poor girl seemed to think it necessary to resume her old mask of gayety, though, save the two mentioned, there was not a soul within a hundred miles who could have imagined any thing of her affairs.

After tea, Miss Strickland stood a moment alone on tho gallery. Sho noticed a narrow, grass-grown foot path leading down the hill-sido. It was quite lost from view among the trees at the bottom of the hill, and bending an attentive ear, she thought she heard tho soft sound of running water. The shadows, the solitude, tho beauty promised, tempted her. Drawing her shawl close around her, Miss Strickland walked down the path unnoticed, and seated herself upon a stone at the foot of a great troe. This solitude, these sweet sounds and vague forest odors, had all the delight of novolty. "Ah, delicious!" she murmured.

Here it would bo possible to bo almost happy!" She was quite wrapped in lier own thoughts. And not until they were just crossing the brook did sho notico the approaching figures of Mr. Gilbert and Miss Lahnman they were then within two or thrco yards of her. Too late to retreat, she could only hope that they would pass without observing her.

Arthur was talking in a lowered voice, rapidly ftnd fervently, Miss Lahnman listening with downcast eves and attentive, interested face. Two or three phrases reached Miss Strickland's ear.

If I have offended you," he said, in voice of pleading, "still you can forgive me because you know—yon must know—that my heart bclonsrs to you as absolutely as my soul to its Maker."

Ah mo! Miss Strickland had some glaring faults, which you havo perceived ere this but ber sen.se of honor was real, and not worn for show. Unablo to move away, she lifted her llugers and stopped her cars. And never was sense of nonor more unhappily obeyed than in this instance. For see how it was.

During tlieso months MissLahnman's comedy nad had a tragic conclusion. Mr. Stacy had left for newer charms. The coquetto'a heart was not much wounded, but her vanity was sorely hurt, and she was roady for anything that would help to relnstajo her good opinion of her own fascinations.

By an accident sho had happened upon poor Arthur's retreat during the snmnier. Something sho knew of the estrangement which he suffered, and moro she guessed. Arthur was decidedly a cfi.'cA. Sho inado s» of her beau ty.'her Madonna eves, her aureolo of hair. Arthur, liko other sensible candid mon, was in some respects very near a fool. He believed all her expressions and glances and timidities perfectly natural. Every day sho looked prettier than the day before the logical conclusion was. or course, that so much beauty indicated every moral excellence. Then they had heen'mnch together In happier days, and he could utter the beloved name to one who know its wearer. All this Miss Lahnman qultoapproved, having no doubt heard the wise ptovcrb respecting confidantes.

This afternoon a step had been taker which, she felt, wis leagnwrioptf. Simple Arthur bad told her the wliwle story. And just as they reached the brook, with a man's egregious egotism he even repeated the unfortunate note which he had written, and which Mabel had cover received. 'tf I Hate offended you, still you can forgive mo because you know—you mint know—that my heart belongs to you as absolutely as my soul to It* Maker.'"

Here, as you know, Miss Strickland stopped her ear*. Arthur paused a minute. Miss Lahnman lifted her blue eyas, swlmftiing with tender pity.

Even he Sat$ Vdld not move her. I do* not blame her—Heaven bless her |—but I still must think had done ill that I eould del"

Ah 1 how could she T" cried Alice Lahnman. Her white hand rested for one brief minute In mute sym. upon his arm. Then aba blushed looked down. It is really true that some wptueu aan blush at will. And thorigh Mhss Strickland oonld not hear, she could see. She somehow dW not or could not turn her eyes away. "Oh, pardon me!" murmured Miss Lahnman, with confusion as natural as her blushes. "But I feel so sorry for you 1 If she ewr had loved .ton, how eould aha have treated yon so!" "That is Just what I say," said poer Arthur, very disconsolately—lie had

knew that she had loved him well. "I think, after all, that abe may have mistaken herself. It was possible, waa It not, Alice

Arthur, who had Jong ago worn out resentment and auger, merely wished to hear himself contradicted: a pleasure he did not enjoy, lie had no weapon to match the untaught subtlety of madeui pisello, tho born coquette.

They did not stop above three miantes beside the brook. Whan they were well out

ear-shot, Miss Strickland releas

ed her hearing from prison. At tills moment she did not look like a proud woman. She sank baekllstlesa ly against the tree near which she had. placod horself, and covered her fhee with her hands a few tears trickled through her Angers. All nerveless, her attitude spoke more eloquently than words. Sho knew at last tnat her hope had not been dead, but sleeping, for now Its death-throes rent her bosom.

But effort and resolution accomplish Oracles yet. The days rolled on, and autumn was past Christmas drew near. Miss Strickland bad long since returned homo, and to herself she recognized the fact that tho grace and bloom of life were gone for her and also she recognized tho more important fact that life uses and duties romalned. The feverish gayetv that had marked her conduct for a while was gone. In its place shone a steadier light—tho oheerlul acoeptance of things as she found them. She went into society as much as ever waa perhaps more than ever admired there And it is certain that her mother and horself were drawn nearer together than ever before.

In the performance of certain rontine duties Miss Strickland founu herself at tho church the day before Christmas eve. The ladies of St. James' took infinite pride in their Christmas decorations, and half the femino congregation was gathered on this occasion, with a slight sprinkling of tho less ornamental but perhaps moro efilcient sex.

Mrs. Grey, the rector's wife, was there —a little woman, chirrupy as a bird, self important as a honey bee queen well liked, pretty, and fulj of suggestions moro poetical than practical. Miss Lahnman was there, Arthur Gilbert, Herbert Stacy, Joe—the direAil spring of woes unnumbered—and fifty more, with whom we havo no'hing to do. "There!" said Mrs. Grey, finally, turning to tho group about her. "I think, at last, that it promises to be really beautiful."

All agreed with her. There was quite chorus of satisfaction, with some looking toward the door, for it was growing late.

There is one thing more that must be done, however—that certainly

must

be done," said Mrs. Grey, with her usual daintily emphatic utterance. "Poor Joe's bench must bo furbished up a little. The cushion must have new material. As it is, it is simply disgraceful."

But, dear Mrs. Grey, what does it matter? It doesn't show." Thus remonstrated a practical one.

Wo must not make clean only the outside of the cup and platter," returned Mrs. Gre3', smilingly, but still feeling herself the rector's wife. "Mr. Gilbert, will you loosen the old covering for me?"

As in duty bound, Mr. Gilbert would turn upholsterer with much pleasure. Here is a hammer—heavy, but I think you can use it."

It strained Mrs. Grey's muscles, and, you ptjrceive, she thought those of Her-, cules would havo been tense beneath the weight.

Arthur, laughing, took the weighty affair, averring that he thought he could weild it bv tho exorcise of all his strength. He went up stairs.

Or no. Mic Strickland, pray bo kind enough to take him this one. The one he has has no—I don't know the name—nothing to tako out tacks with."

Miss Strickland did not seem to hear. "I will take it, dear Mrs. Grey," said Miss Lahnman, with great obliging)KS.

But this littlo lady always preferred her own arrangements, however trivial. "No," she answered. "I want your sweet tasto about tho placing of the calla lilies. You will oblige me, Miss Strickland, will you not?"

I will take it to Mr. Gilbert, sinco you wish it," said Miss Strickland, not without annoyance. "Thank yon. Come, Alico my dear. Jon, como and help mo lift the vases."

Miss Strickland walked up the steps ery slowly. Sho hoped that Mr. Gilbert task would bo accomplished before she eould roach the top. For. in addition to other objections, sho felt lier errand rather ridiculous.

But ho did really experience some exatious hinderance through lack of tho proper instrument, and was swearing a little, very softly and unconsciously, under his breath.'when Miss Strickland said, just beside him.

Hero is a better hammer, Mr. Gilbert. Mrs. Grey told me to bring it to

you." "Thank you," ho answered, coldly. "I am much obHged to Mrs. Grev, and of crwrso to you also, Miss Strickland."

Not at all to me. I would not have brought it but that she insisted." It was only about a hammor and a piece of green cloth. But so oddly Is llfo compounded that this was tho most overpowering moment of their lives. Never sinco that fatal Sunday had they stood on© moment, alono together. Novor since then had either spoken on,e voluntary sentonce to the. other. I have not tho art to tell all that filled their hearts as they stood silent.

For silently they did stand a moment. Miss Strickland bad tried to turn and go downstairs again,'but her head was a Utile giddy, and, raging at herself for her unnecessary agitation, sho Still found it would bo wisdom to remain on instant-where she was.

Mr. Gilbert did not glance toward her again. lie was afraid to do so. She stood sn near him I liar dross touchod him. lint meaningless contact thrilled to his ery soul. lie, too,called himself a fool, and invoked inaudible anathemas upon himself. But his heart was one wild pain. He took the hammer she had brought, lifted It with unnessary fbrce. and

stood still forover—or that a man's living blood ran ioo. But ice and fire seemed in his veins for a moment. His look frightened Miss Strickland. "What is it?" she said, forgetting herself.

Io you remember," he said, in a voice that v*aa not Arthur's voice—"do you remember the last Sunday that we sangtogether?"

Yea, I remember. Oh— Did you have a note from me that morning?" be asked, in the same strange voioe. mi "If A note? Oh no!"

Here is the note that I sent you that day, Will you read it now What do we there? That taste of heaven—more, that taste of heaven after a black and uitter draught—belongs to them alone.

Every body down stairs forgot them, except Miss Lahnuiai}. Fifteen minutes passed. Thon Miss Lahnman, not being innately a lady, and no longer able to curb her curiosity and her jealousy, CJine softly up tho

steps.

What an ago it takes to rotn'ove a piece of cloth she cried, as she came up. Some of the sweetnoss was out of her voice. Irony and apprehension did not tuno It well. "NVe want your opinion about the wreaths for the chancel. Was tho second hammer a success?" This she added as she turned tho corner and came in sight of them. "Entirely a success," Arthur answered. "It has been worth its weight, not in gold, but in diamonds." He was sitting on Joe's bench, with somewhat such an air as if it had been an imperial throne.

Misu Strickland was replacing some hair pins, and ber faco was that of the goddess of morning—celestial, rosy red.

Some time after this, Mr. Gilbert enjoyed the pleasure of an explanatory Interview with the ingenious "blower."

Without alarming his inventive powers by any reference to the lost note, he contrived to learn from that artless youth one or two facts which threw some light upon its fate.

Awhile ago," said Joe, "that 'ere piece o' cloth—no sense anyhow—got loose and tripped me up a time or two. And down I came—bang! once, when Mr. Grey was a-prayin'. I didn't catch it then, I guess! On no! he never said across word in his life. He wouldn't."

But these eulogies were explained and commented upon by appropriate expressions, which left no doubt that his remarks wore entirely ironical. He further stated that, in a zealous mood, he had then improved the condition of bis bench by nailing the cloth fast, and by nailing over it a strip of wood to bold it down. All unconscious of the letter that had slipped from his p»oket between the cloth and the cushion, bo had thus locked up for a little while this key to two destinies.

Joe was surprised at the donation which rewarded this iu formation. But still it obtained his entire approval. This was a mode of expressing approbation of his merits which be understood and appreciated.
