HOW WOMEN LOVE.

Pram an Oil Ma^aliue

"Yes, she was beautiful. I tell you Philip, if Lucifer had for love of Mich a daughter of man, the apgels that shared in his glory would have envied hi* debasement. She wat royally beautiful. Every look wu a gleam of fctarlight, every smile a ray out of heaven. Oh, yes! it's all well enough tor you Philip Philip#, to sit there smiling at my fancies, and jou mav keep on calling me extravagant, and all that sort of thing, but I tell you Clare Milbank was an escaped angel out of the land of light."

It was a winter night in theup-cou .try. My friend Stephen WiUon had sent me a most urgent invitation to come up to the old hall and pass a quiet Christmas with him, and I had accepted for the sake of the quiet. I knew that -O one would disturb us there, and the av after I arrived a snow storm se in, aid it blew anfi snowed and snowed and blew until there was no fence and scarcely a barn left visible around the house. The morning alter the storm cleared off we held a council ^nd decided to forbid the breaking of the avenue road for a w«ek, and it was a clear ca*e that no visitor could approach through that mile of snow, varying from two to ten feet in d?pth fro the house to the gate. It was a barrier between u* and the outer world all sufficient, and we sat down in the library to o.ir boaks and talk and thought* with much of content and satisfaction.

It was the evening before Christmas— Christmas Evr, hallowed by thoasanda of memorie* other than those of the rthnight, in every human heart. I say human, for that heart in not I he same mold, nav, in scarcely of the same clay with mine which fails to thrill with emotion in the memories of Christmas Eve.

We sat in front ol a blazing fire, and on the table between us stood the golden Ivourne. and the last few sparkiing drops of a bottle of St. Peray. Dinner was re moved but a few moments ago, and Stephen, having lefc his wine to praise itself, had commencd a conversation which I, not without a des:gn, had led on to the point at which I have commenced this narration.

My friend was a man of filtv, the proprietor of a fine estate, wealthy, and withal a lover of his ease. Having wherewithal to gr.itify his taste, he did not think it wrong to pay liberally for pleasure, and hence there we'rs few places in the city or cojntry that could boast as complete furniture as his. A. choice library, splendid rooms, horses, dogs and every means of killing game and time you found «t vou service here, an amoiig all these appliance we two were not at a JOBS in helping the process of the hours. But there had always bee-i & certain so nething in Wilson's way of speaking when we talked of the pat that led me to fancy that there was a historv concealed in his iru-moey that, once told, wou'd throw li^hi many points in I i* character whic'i I lid )t fully understand. It was. then he had roused himself, or I ha 1 p.ovo ed him. to the emphatic declaration with which I have commenced, that I said to him, falling bark in my chair and sipping the Ivourni fiom a bio d-re glass ihat made it look like bloo I, Tell all abou' her Stephens."

He looked Into my eyes. Thpy »xpressed no gftjiit anxiety, nor jfet any coldnss*'. I f.*a *ed tj frighten him awav from the subject bv one and to offend him too much by the other. I lifted the glass to my lips H'ld eyed him over the ruby rim. He fixed his ga7.e on me for an instant before he spoke. "Put down the glass, Philip Put it down I sav, and I will talk to you, but not while you drink tint stuff. It is to cold tipple tor December night like this, and there is that in the cellar that would warm the blood in the veins of Pharo First, could he but find his nr urn y. John—John—bring up. the. Mountain Dew." 5 Hfj

It came, and'all being ready, he thus egan, and couinucd even to-ggjthe nd. "Clara M.lbank was the daughter of he rector oft le parish in which I vVas orn. It was far from here—very far. was a country placc not unlike this in any respects." The old church 6tood a grove near the crossing of three oads, and a hunJred yards from it was he farm-house, deep among trees and ines, wnich was the rectory. In it lor any years n.v father's councello', riend and companion, Henry Milbank, ad lived, and from its vine covered door had cariied out his Clare—the belovof his ycun*er year*, who had 6lept his heart for almost a score of winters had carried her out to a grave in the hurch yard under the moaning trees. 'iom his study window he could look her grave, and there, for ten years he ever failed to sit at the hour ot sunset, nd long and lojk for the hour when he oo, having been carried out even as she, liould be permitted to pass through the hurch yard to the upper sanctuirv vherein she was now worshpping. •'llis daughter was a fair child, at ti oe arlv years when children first begin to "interesting and I remember well, hen I was a o.' ten and she a girl six, that I thought her the veriest eautv in all the world. And so she as, with one and only one exception, he had acjusin, Philip, whose name ou have never heard me mention—have ver heard mentioned in this world hose name has never been uttered on he cold winds of the earth since—since but n« matter. I know not what impels to a diffeient course to-night. I feel strong desire, instead of the reluctance have usually felt, to speak of these lings to-night, and I will even yeild to 1 do believe that on the suriace of lis earth now there is no one living be ig but myself who remembers the name fthat radia*..t girl that was once so lorious in her young, glad beauty, and ow so utterly forgotten* She was the eice of'the rector, the cousin of Clare er mother was his sister. Lily Ray was only rival of her cousin, yet no t*o ersons more wholly dissimilar. The ne was tall, queenly and grand the ther was slender and exceedingly timia. ie one had black and flashing eyes the ther's were blue and gentle. In all repects different, they were nevertheless ound to each other by a love that was lore than the love of sisters, and that ven surpassed the love of man for wolau. •'Phiip, I loved Lily Ray. From boyood 1 loved her. Not at all the magificent beauty of Clare could win m? om her cousin. I dreamed of her ail ay and all night. I sought opportunies of meeting her. I gathered for her •uit and flowers. I carried to her all iv treasures, and with them all the •easure of love my heart could bestow

Wno could forget the rambles in the forests the seat by the rushing mountain stream: the evenings of -summer beauty on the lake? Or who could wish to lorget the long winter evenings when we «kt by the blazing hearth and talked or dreamed, or heard the rector tell stpriesofhis youth, or wove fabrics of air and dream-stuff for these years that we now live in so coldly, Philip? These vears! how far away they seemed! Those years! how close behind they appear!

Well, I left hom*. This is a dull story,, Philip. Be patient you shall come to the' point at length. I left home for school, and in my vacation twice a vear. I returned to'my hone and met always the glad welcome of my friends at threctory. M" father died during the first year of my college course, and before I graduated I was tw nty one and heir to his large property. "During the four or five years* of my school and college course I had never for an instant thought of any other future than that which -my boyish fancy had pictured when I sat by the rectory fireside on the winter evsnings of younger days. And vet, strange as it miy seem toycu, I had never mentioned to Lily my hopes, nor had I given her any distinct intimation of my love. You wonder at this. So do I. It was not till afterward I thought of it myself, and then it was too late—too late. They were more like sisters to me than friends. We had studied together many years and had lived from childhood in constant intiraacv, but I doubted that she knew my love. It seemed so perfectly natural, f.o much my whole life, that I thought it always evident above all things in my action and on my lips. It was, therefore, a ttrrible blow to me when I returned from my last term in college, flushed with no' few honors, expecting their congratulations, first of all, to learn

daughter

We were seated in ths old house in the room that had been for many years the scene ot our happiest hours. I remember well that Clare stood near the west window, into which ihe last twilight rays were streamiug. She had just finished some furious sentence about her uncle and her eyes were flashing with indignation. Mr. Milbank was seated in his old chair in the corner, listening with a smile to the earnestness of his beautiful

thit

Lily was

absent from the rectory and might never return. Such a possibility I never re thought of, nor had any of them. Hir father had so long permitted her to remain in her uncle's family that she had become a part of it as Clare herself and it was like taking away his

from the rector and her sister

from Clare herself when Mr. Ray ide his appearance and said that Lily must go with him to be mistiess of the house in the)ciiy. In vai shestiove, protested b'ggeJ. In vain tne rector and Clare implored and demanded. He was a stern, col man, and he cam 3 and went and with him vanished one ot tha lights of the rectory, and when I cam home it was to the saddest welcome of a stricken ho ise. For some days af er that Clare and 1 talked and planed'what we would do. We would go and storm the city house of Mr. Ray. We would coax Lily to elope witii us. We would steal her and keep her ncealed. We would do a hundred things that at length resolved themselves into going together with the rector the city to visit her, and so we all went ohe was not at mi. S said the servant again and again as we repeated our calls at the door. We left our cards and the name of the hotel, but she did not come. We called in the evening, and r-curved the same answer. Philip, we were green and simple, and did not know that this phrase haJ other meauing than the words expressed. "But the next day I met her in the street, and she sp ang towards me, and then shuddered and looked around her, as if she feared tnat some oie saw her. 'Oh, Stephen! where, where are they al.?' 'At the—hotel.'

Here in New York?'

'Ofcourse. Did you not receive our cards?' S*. St f3 '"Your cards?'

We cailed four times yesterday.' 'Stephen, I am a prisoner—my father is'—and here she burst into tears even in the broad

-eet

ot the city.

"It all catpi ou soon. Her fathtr was a scoundrel wl.o had been glad to be rid of the care*of her tor the years of her childhood, but when he found '*at she was a beuutit'ul woman had thought it worth his while to take hsr to the city to bi the mistress of his house, and a greater afraction to call those into his society whom he desired entrap and fleece. "But sh3 was too?! pure for his purposes, and he found that there was no hope of making her useful unless he could reduce her moral characttr nearer to his own level. I will not believe. I never did oelieve, that he designed to wrong her, or that he would have cousented to debase her to the level ot those women who sometimes formed part of the evening company in his house. He had some sense of shame, 6ome reverence for the holiness of her mother left. His idea was not to destroy, only to sullen the purity other character. Not to make her bad, but only to make her look without a shuddei on sin. Bat to accomplish this he must detach her from from her former associates and friendship and, above all, from the old rectory. So he threw everv possible obstacle in the way of the reunion of those bonds which he had so rudelv sundered. "It" •happened somewhat curhus'.v that on the same day that I met Lily in the street I met an old servant of my father, a man who had lived with us from mv childhood, and who was discharged* with a legacy from my father on his death. I had no knowledge of his whereabouts, but now Laired that he was in the employ of Mr. Ray. Having been engaged but a few weeks previously he had just begun to fi id out the character rf his employer, and was about 10 leave his master, when I begged him to s^rve me by rem lining a little longer, I h.t'J a plan in my brain for the rescue ot the fair girl, which I had not matured in the half-hour since I had met her in the street, bur which the meeting with David seemed to make perfectly feasible. "I need not pause to relate to you how the rector sought and obtained an interview with his unworthy brother-in-law or how he failed. We were not a sad party, for we were too indingent for that when we returned to the country. All our passions were arroused, and when we reached home we had an excited conversation, in the midsi of which, with characteiistic impetuosity, I revealed my plan.

child, and I was walking swiftiy up and down. 'Sir, will you help me mairy her?' 'Clare sprang with a botrna to the middle of the room and looked at me. The rector rose from his seat and todk my hand in his.

'Are you serious my boy?' 'Most certamlv I am.' 'Then, if God wil help you I will and we will be happy a?atu. Is it no, a grand thought, Clare?' ''But Clare had vanished. "Then we arranged it all. We had learned that they were going to Ballston in a tew days, and we arranged to go ou the Sans Souci and meetthem. The meeting was to braccidental, and we accomplished it precisely as we had in tended. "Clare led her the first evening fro* the crowd in the saloon and on the pia zat to the darkest corner of the' colonnade, and here, for the first time, I ap proached her. "Philip, I canr.ot tell of that interview. It was an hour that you may see written here in my forehead, here on my gruve haii, I was an old mm then, tor she told me my hopes were vain—I must forebid them henceforth, forever. '•The memory cf that beautitul won in as she stood before me with white hand laid on my shoulder, and her blue, ueep eyes fixed on mine,—fixed in mine, for their light was in my brain and soul that memory will not perish so long as I have eyes or soul, here or hereafter. I bowtd my head and wept, and she never shed one tear. I implored, and she was calm. 'No, no, no!' that terrible word was reitterated again and again and again. 'And what shall I do—whether I go for hope on earth?' said I. "And she cams close to m?, Philip, as I stood with my head bent forward, and she Lftei her beloved face close up to mine, and she put her arm, her nail, around my neck and whispered. Love Clare, S .ephen!'and lipi were on mine one instant, one thrilling instantyet, Phili/), o.ie eternity of emotion and she was gone. "'And Clare stood ten paces from me, with her head bowed over the rail and when it was all over an I staggered toward her, she took my hands in hers and held tnen in a cl clasp, ard siiJ but one word—, 'Stephen!' A? 'Mv sister CtareI "Atiu then she wept. I never saw her weep before, and now it was but for a moment, and she drew me awav and I obeyed her. "Mors than a year passed with the swiftness of thought, an I hal never lefc the seclusion of my country ouse. Clare left home in the early autumn to pass the winter in the city. During the year after my parting f.om Lily it would be vain to deny that I o.'ten recurred to her last words, sealed, as they were, with that last thrilling kiss, and, when I looked into the face of the beautiful Clare, it did no, seem so very difficult to obey To worship is not to love. I worship ped Clare, I bowed" before her royal beauty, her clear intellect, hjr noble soul In the year that passed so darkly over me she was a constant light, companion, comforter and vtfhen she went away I telt the blank more than I could have beleived possible. In ths middle of December I was called to the citv by perempot iry business, anl went with reluctance, intending to return within a week.

I found my bj siness more perplexing than I hid anticipated, and after a few days I determined to lo'k up Clare. Relying on my intimacy to pardon an evening call I went at a late hour- on Christmas Eve and found myse in crowded rooms, having as I now found, •.tumbled on an evening party. I did not retreat, for the home of my sister*s friend was my own houses in old times, and I was not dissapointed in my reception. "Clare was the center of a] brilliant circle, and at home as a queen among her subjects 1 believe that a thrill of momentary jei'sousy passed over me as I saw her, and I looked simply over thegioup for one on whom she would be likely to waste one of tier royal smles But she gave me such a welc mis that my foolish jealousy.ifit existed, wis me on the instant. "The hours sped swifi.lv away with dance and song. It was near midnight when I stood with Clare in th library, while all the party where i.i the supper-rooms. A servant entered with a note, saying that it had been brought by a man, now at the street door, with urgent haste. btop,—I will get the note."

Wilson crossed the room, opened a desk and private drawer, and returned, bringing, in his hand a small yellow note stained with that ineffaceable stain, ineffaceable from paper, check or heart of men—the traces of teare. '•Toey are not my tears, Philiy. They are Clare's." "'Clare, Clare, come to me before I die. David will bring you. Do you know were Stephen is? Send him word to comc, to come quick quick, Clare, for I fear—I hope—ves, I hope I shall not see the New Year. But come to night, Clare, if ou would see me, for God knaows whether I shall see the Christmas morning. Lily.' "We were wrapped in cloaks and at the front door in an instant. 'You here, David?' 'Yes, sir. I have never left Miss Lily sense you told me to stay with her.' "He led us up one street a.id down another until we come to. obscure street, running west from Broadway to the North River, and a house half way down this, which he paused and knocked.

Whj's there?' 'The doctor and a nufrse.4 'v "The door epened and we enMfifeH. "I did not know then, as I have since known, the appearance of ttie splendid room into wnich we passed. It was a hell. Y"bu know what that is. The upper portion of the house was devoted to the private rooms of Mr. Ray and his fa'mily. The lower part was arranged in gambling rooms, gorgeously furnished in which we heard the sounds ef the money on the boards and the quick, sharp commands of the banker, succeeded by the silencc that waits the turn of the card. Passing through the hall and a sort of reception-room we ascended a broad flight of stairs and entered a room that was dark and gloomy, and unmistakable the abode of sickness. 'Have you come, dear Clare?' 'I have, and have brought Stephen with me.' 'There was a strange half cry, half sob from the bed, and I advanced toward

cles of which was she already passed, and into the central glory of which she was soon to be gone. "Shall I tell you all the horrible story she now told us? How she had been compelled to preside

the foul feasts

which her father gave how she had been forced to admit the presence of gamblers and harlots how night after night she had striven with indescribale agony to induce her parent to abandon this terrible life, and how all in vain? You will ask why she clung to it? Why she did not adahdon him forever? I will Veil you, phinp. "She sent Oat Clare for a moment and then she told me all. "Philip, she loved me with unutterable love. Yet, I knew that before. Bat once, in the last spring-time of our happv home in the rectory, one holy evening when Clare had been moved by her gentle cousints loveliness to speak as never before of her own soul, she had learned that Clare, my noble sister Clare, loved me wjth more thai sister's love. Yes, she told her a'l, and she thenceforth shut up the fountain of her soul and laid a ptone on the mouth to keep back the floo I forever. "This was why she consented to go with h»r father, and in this resolution she gave herself up, soul and bodv, to a hope that sh: might make her mission on earth.the reform ot her father, and the reunion ot us all in later years in sosne happy home that she dreamed of as distant but sure But now the end came, and hope was gone, and love, human love was triumphant, she could not die without seeing me once mre and spite of her father's comminds, spite of all her agony, spite of all her woman's shame, she told me all, and in the moment of our parting I knew what a great flood of love, pure, holy love, Gjd had forbidden to flow over the gardens of my life, but had commanded into the channels thit mike glad the eternil city. '"And then Clare came back, and we sat down side by siJe and held her hands in ours, and the swift moments of her life ran out. "She never told Clare her love. Ths*t glorious creature never told Clare one word, never hinted to her of what we had spoken in the hour that she had been absent and she never knew that Lily love me. "The doctor came in towards morning and was started al the change he found in his patient. He told h»r she was dying, and she heard him calmly and looked at me with on long, [longing gaze, and dosed her eyes on us for a moment, and opened them again with the sjft radiance of 1 he ban 1 of angels in their light. 7" "Onc£, .ly once, she took my hand in h^r.s, and drew me wn to her a°.d whispered in a low, soft whisper, 'I love you" Stephen' and a light, as if of great glory ot iriunjphant love, flashed on her countenance and then, a little later, she took mv han I. and acing Clare's in If, she said to each of us: 'Kiss me, Clare: ki-s me, Stephen!' "And1 Clare kissed her, and I touched my earthly lips her saintly lip', and with the last kiss, the last breath, of life, she whispered:

'Love Clarf, Step'ien!' 'And her life, that ihe hid laid down for her friend, Go 1 took and mide immortal lite thereof in the gardens of hU land.
