"-Melvorne," I Hahl, as we
arriai;, "would you like to
Palmer's residence now?"
"Xii," he aid, laiiLrliini', "hut we will
est at his hotel a few hours, however.
Then if the ladies are not too much falij- I
ed we will start for New York.
They declared themselves ready for the
Journey. I lielieve that they enjoyed It. I
Our active Huffish ladies are not sickly
sentimentalists who thii-k the crowning '
glory of womanhood is to be thought an
ki valid. They are brave, pure-hearted
Women. They can le independent of the
Id oak, yet love and home are no less
dear to the in because of that independ
ence, j
What happy hours we spent on that ,
homeward journey. Stella never tired of
akin;r questions about her father's child- ;
hood hi ne, and Melvorne weiiied to enjoy
picturing the old place. He would give
she most minute descriptions of every- ,
tiling about it. At last, on a beautiful day
iu July, we were on a great ocean steamer
bound for home. j
tine evening as we were standing on '
deck -Melvorne asked:
"Iyd, do you remember the day I found
you dreaming?"
"Yes." I said, "f think I do! I littlo
thought then 1 hat I was seeking a friend,
'id 1 foiwi.! li .it he had lost t he one he
helii 1110-.1 ih-.ir."
"Anil ilid you expect to find us so kr
kimi hoine:"' asked Ijady Irving archly. i
":!. my l:e!y," said Melvorne, half
playfully. "'.Yiieii I was in Iondon I
would not seek you for fear my sweet girl
friend would h'.; changed to a cold proud ;
womaai of f;usliiou."
"What do you think now?" she asked
Wiischievously.
"I think," he said, catching her in his
Arms, "that I shall hold you a prisoner un
til you name the day that I shall call you
Mine!"
"And I make the same demand," I said,
bringing Stella to my side.
"We may as well present our flags of
truce and surrender to our couiuerers,"
a&id Stella to I-aly Irving.
"Yes," said Iady Irving playfully, "We
xpected that some day you would liecome"
tyrants and use the conqueror's right to
ommaud: so we prepared our weajxins of I
war ready to surrender with grace! At
Silver Dell, my homy in London, there
will lie a double wedding on the evc;iingof
the seventh of September, if you will agree
to such a treaty of peace."
"Is that true?" 1 asked, kissing the lips
I loved so well.
"Yes, Ioyd. after meeting you in Den
fer. Lady Irving and I planned not to be
anrried until our return to England. She
Made me promise to te married on the
same day she was and i;t her home."
"Then, you little rogue, 3-ou had made
the; arrangements when I urged you to
Mt the day that evening in Manitou."
"Yes, and it was fun for ns when we
net after our return from the evening
mble. Cousin James bad asked I-Jidy ;
ivving the same question, aud had urged a
rply." said Stella gaily.
"Do you hear that, Melvorne?" I asked.
"Hear what?"
"Why, these mischievous witches had
teitd to make us wait until we were in
ugla:id before they would yield their
freedom to our wilU." I said. "Do you
remember that evening in my room when
yeu were so blue, my asking you if you
bd not lielieve that they had some scheme
against us?"
"Yes. I remember it very well. So you
wre going to carry out that plan if we
bad remained in America a year?" he
asked of Iady Irving.
"Most decidedly, my Ijord," she said,
Staking him a mocking courtesy.
"Then I am thankful for that telegram."
"So am I, for now that the day is set, I
have enough to do to get ready to receive
Idy Waverland at her new home," I
aaid.
"I claim the right to keep Cousin Stella
am my guest until that time," said Mel-
"No, I have a prior right to her for my
oempanion," said Lady Irving.
After some debating Lady Irving won
her point and Stella was to remain at Sil
ver Deli until after the wedding.
The voyage was a most delightful one,
yet we were glad when it was ended and
we were quietly seated in Lady Irving's
spacious dining room. She had earnestly
iaaisted that the first evening of our home
eeming should be passed together at her
home. Silver Dell is beautifully located
a the Upper Thames not far from Lon
don. : It is a grand old mansion, perfect in
ail its appointments.
It is always ready to receive its noble
mistress and all her guests.
After dinner we spent a few hours talk
ing over our plan for the future. It was
agreed that Melvorne should attend tohe
Business which had called him home and
then we were all to visit Raven's Park to
gether. "Come Loyd." said Melvorne. "you are
to be my guest while you remaiu in Eng
land." "Thanks." I said. "I was dreading a

When Melvorne returned we decided to
visit Raven's Park the following day.
"We alm.-ist need our ousiness manager
to keep us jo-. ed on the day's proceedings,
said Melvorne.
"I wonder where the Iillards are now,"
paid I-nly Irving. "Some time I am going

, locfuJncss umoi. tins humble t-tiant peo
i ile," and tears rolled down her cheeks
J from thinking of the past.
I "Yes, cousin, this was his childhood
home," said Melvorne. "It was almost
my home too. I have passed many happy
hours here with my Grandfather. He
never tired talking of Charlie. He was his
father's pride and joy until, in a moment
of passion, that father had disowned his
son and sent him away, henceforth to be a
stranger from his home. I was the only
one that my grandfather would permit to
mention Charlie's name in his presence.
I was so small when Uncle Charlie left
home that I cannot remember anything
about him. Hut I believe my grandfather
was always sorry for his hasty action, and
if it had not been for his ungovernable
pride, he would have called him back."
"I fear you may regret your hasty action.
Cousin James," said Stella.
"I shall never regret that; but I would
like to add a clause to the transfer," said
Melvorne.
"What would it be?" asked Stella.
"That this shall be your Winter home,
as it is near to Hlue Ridge."
"I will grant your request," said Stella,
offering him her hand as a pledge for its
fullillment. Then she turned to me, say
ing: "You agree with me in keeping this
promise?"
"Most surely! I could not help agreeing
to live in such a beautiful place," I said,
putting her hand upon my arm, as we
started to leave the fountain, where Lady
Irving had been watching the L'ttle fishes,
while we had been talking. As we entered
the hall Lady Irving said:
"I think Stella and I might command
quite a large circle of friends who would
add much pleasure and enjoyment to all
these tine arrangements."
"I am only too anxious to introduce the
Duchess of Melvorne to a large circle of
friends," said Melvorne.
Stella remained silent as we entered and
passed through the old hall. What a grand
place it is! Just the home for my darling,
I thought. Pictures of ancestors for many
generations hung on the walls of the long
gallery; and, as we were passing along
Melvorne stepped to one and paused.
"This," he said, with reverence, "was
Sir Edward, our grand father."
Stella looked for some moments at th
stately form with snow white hair and
beard and bright blue eyes.
"My father had those clear blue eyes
and a broad smooth brow, but the expres
sion of his mouth was not so hard aud
proud," said Stella as she moved away.
"This was my mother's room, Vaid Mel
vorne, leading the way into another apart
ment. The room was trimmed in blue and
white. The ground work of the carpet,
the curtains anil all the drapery of the
room was blue, while delicate vines and
leaves were traced in white. Every thing
about the room was in accord with the
most perfect taste.
"This was your father's," said Mel
vorne, opening a door down the hall.
Here, rich, dark tints gave' a warm glow
to the room. "And these were his books
when a school-boy," he continued, opening
the doors of a liookcase,
Stella went to the open case and with a
tender sadness on her face took one book
after another from its old accustomed
place and read with an aching heart the
dear name now forgotten save by a few.
Te ars fell ou the open page as t,lie looked
upon the writing of the hand that had
been her guide from infancy. 1 longed to
comfort her, as she stood there with the
memory of a f.aid father's, kind, protect
ing love so fi esh in her thoughts. I went
to her, and placing my arm about her
waist remained silent.
"To think," she said, "that after all
these years they are here to give me a wel
come home. It seems like almost seeing
my father to be among his books and see
his own writing!"
"There is oonifort in the silent messa
ges," I said, as she stood reading from the
margin of an old book. Then, as though
speaking to herself alone she said:
"O. lovinar father, fond and truo
Each silent book can speak for you.
And with an eloquence most rare.
Remind me of your tender care."
Then, as though some unseen comforter
had been near, Stella closed the doors of
the bookcase with a gentle touch as though
she felt that it was conscious of her love.
Then we left the room and joined Lady
Irving and Melvorne in the school room.
Broken toys and torn books still told of
children's wayward ways. But now, alas,
how changed, as Longfellow so beautifully
pictures life in the lines:
"All things (mint chanire
To nomethiii; new, to something strange:
Nothing that, is can pause or stay.
Too noon to-day be yesterday.
Behind us in our palli we cast
The broken not shreds of the past.
And all are ground to dust at last.
And trodden into clay."
It was a day of mingled joy and sadness
for Stella. To her, this new revelation of
her father's early life was a source of infi
nite pleasure, but it was mingled with re
gret because of her great loss in his death.
With Melvorne the past was full of pre
cious memories, and with thoughtful kind
ness he anticipated Stella's slightest wish.
After lunch and a ramble over the vel
vety lawn and through the fragrant park,
we returned to the city. In the evening
papers we read the announcement of our
arrival and they also gave a lengthy de
scription of a double wedding sooa to take
place.
When we parted that evening I bade
Stella good-night, saying.
ood-bye, my darling, when we meet
again I shall claim you as my own. No
more separations then. It is only for a
short time, still it looks long and tedious.
Y'ou will write to me often. Stella dear?"
I asked, as I held her to my heart in a
close embrace.
"Yes, Loyd, I will write often, for letters
help to make time pass more quickly. But
I hate to let you go, '' she said clinging to
my arm.
"You know I mu5t go to make Waver
land ready for its illustrious little mis
tress!" "Dear old Waverland. I shall soon see it
otice more! Kiss Myrtle for me. Bring
her with V014 when " then sha paused
a though afrjiM to say inor
Yes. dear.-:. I will !fi:ig i.er with i;ie
vr.t:i I com! to claim my bright, my ioii
ny bride," I s ii i. giving her 0 parting em
brace. It wan & 1 eft 11 ti ful mornimr when I
leached Water land, f immediately ocu
men to work repairing the place. The
lodge at the gate I had taken down and set
workmen to rebuilding it after the plan of
one I had seen in Colorado. I had the
lawn mowed, the walks re-graveled, tne
trees and shrubs trimmed and the old
fountain once more gurgled forth its gleo
in silvery sprays. The sound of saw and
hammer m.ule music to my heart from
every quarter, for I was preparing to re
ceive my fairy star my Stella!
The next day after my return I role ovct
to Sir Wren's to get Myrtle. When I came
up the avenue I saw her in the poultry
yfcrd feeding the chickens, ducks and pig
eons. The pigeons were flying about her,
some of them even alighting on her heaj
and shoulders.
What a picture of innocent and trust
t ha group formed. Myrtle, with her sun
ny curls noating aoout tier neck ana
j shoulders, her rosy hecks and laughin
eyes ami surrounueu oy tne contented
flock feeding from her gentle hands. liut
when she heard the hnrse's noofs on the
hard walk she turned, and seeifig me,
down went the little apron full of seed
and she came running toward m. The
pigeons flew away in alarm, the ducks
waddled oif with a quack, quack, and the
turkeys gobbled their disgust at being dis
turbed at meal time.
"O I-oyd!" cried Myrtle, putting her
arms about my neck as soon as I had dis
mounted, "have you come for me?
"You are very happy here I see," I said.
taking her in my arms.
"I have had such a nice time. But do
you waut me to go home?" she awked, a
though afraid of cdeuding mo,
"Yes I want youliome if yon are ready
to go. Where is Annie?"
"She is in the house," said Myrtle, run
ning on to tell the news. As she opened
the drawing room door she exclaimed, "O
Annie. Loyd has come!"
I had fid lowed her into the room where
Annie lay udoii a sofa. She seemed but a
shadow of l:v- own happy self.
"Why. Annie," I said, going to her, "are
von ill?'
'You are rrni hannu here. I .v:c." I
Utkiii'j her in my arms.
-o, sue saiu witn a languid sign.
"But I am not very strong this summer.
Papa says he is going to take me to Italy
to bring back my roses."
"vwiy, xv ny ijoyd, old boy, are you
home? said Sir reu, coining into the
room. "I had just heard that you were in
ijoudon; and mat averiaud is to have a
now mistress."
"Yes. 1 found my lost friend in the naw
world among the mountains of Colorado
with La !y Irving. They had been travel
ing together for some months."
"What is it, papa?" asked Annie, look
ing first at her father and then at me,
"O, I remember now, my pet," said Sir
Wren tenderly. "You have not heard the
news yet."
"What news?" she asked bewildered.
"Why Lady Irving is to be married
Hgain; this time to her old friend, the Duke
of Melvorne, and Sir Loyd Waverland to
Miss Stella Everett, grand-daughter of
some English earl," he said. "But I
thought this Miss Everett was yom
mother's governess," asked Sir Wren,
turning to me wiih an inquiring look.
"So she was. Sir Wren," I answered,
"but her grand-father was the late Earl of
I York."
1 hen how came she to be in such a po
sition in life?"
"Her father, Charles Edward Everett,
married agaiust his father's wishes and he
disowned him for that cause," 1 explained.
"How does she become to be knowu and
recognized now?"
"The Duke of Melvorne in some way dis
covered that she was his cousin. Then
Stella's father left her as a part of his will
a cryptogram, which when deciphered, ex
plained who he was and where , he came
from. Melvorne has reinstated her to her
rightful share as if her father had not been
disowned."
"Strange," said Sir Wren, soliloquizing,
"that I never thought of that. I knew
Melvorne's mother was an Everett. And
now I come to think of it, Stella looks
very much as Melvorne's mother did at
her age. You know we were great friends
at that time and I remember very well the
time Charlie left home," said Sir Wren,
becoming excited with the news.
"Have j'ou found Stella?" asked Myrtle,
who had been standing at my side listen
ing very attentively.
"I have found her pet, and she will sooa
be with us at Waverland again," I sin'd.
"Then I want to go home,' said :.a .-.
"And leave your pet pigeons?'" t askd.
Her face clouded for a moment, liieu she
said: ,
"Yes, for Stella would get me some
more."
"Are you willing to leave Annie, when
she has been so kind to you?"
"No. I will take Annie with me," she
s-iid. going to Annie as she spoke.
"Never mind me. dear." said Annie, in
s'ic'i a weary tone as though life was a
burden, "papa and I are going to travel."
"Well. Ixe.ii," said Sir Wreu, taking my
hand In his. "I urn glad Waverland Is go
ing to be reopened. Annie has been pin
ing away ever since the old house has been
closed."
"I am having some improvements made.
It will be quite a respectable place when I
get it finished."
"Yes, you need to make it fine to receive
so illustrious a wife. Quite an honor, I
assure you, Loyd, to make such an alli
ance." "That may be true but I loved her just
as well as the simple governess as I ever
can," I answered, truthfully. '
"Where is she now?" asked Sir Wren.
"She is with Iidy Irving at Silver Dell,"
I said. "Well, Myrtle," I asked, "are you
ready to go home with me now?"'
"Yes, if you want me to, but I would
like to stay a while longer until Stella
