THE FACE IX THE GLASS.
1 -was called by telegram from mj
flicc one day to visit au uncle who was
dying.
fie hail never even acknowledged my
existence Ho was "Mr. Worth, who
owns thai lino mansion over there,"
while I was simply or my small .sign
lecla-cd me to be "Henry Worth,
The "M.D." was my only wealth,
station or honor. In fact, when a
young physician lirst puts out h s sign
Xbai is about all he possesses, save the
small stock of knowledge which he has
carr'ed until himself and pocketbook
am exceedingly 1 elow par.
It was no short distance between my
city home and my uncle's. Fully one
hundred nnd sixtv miles intervened, and
It w:us evening before the train slowed
ip at the village of Dare.
I alighted with one or two others, and
looked around for some person from the
-Castle' (a3 1113' uncle's home was
called). I found an Irishman waiting,
"who, after a long parley to I e sure I
was the right person, told me to get into
the coach.
Wo must have ridden a mile and a
Jjalf when we turned into the Castle
grounds.
J could not make out the place very
well, for it had grown dark in t'.io ap
proaching night. We turned into a
long drive, and far back from the main
thoroughfare stopped before the door of
a dark stone mansion.
Not a light was visible save a dim one
in the hall, which could be seen through
:the colored glass transom.
The coachman drove around to the
stables, while 1 passed up the marble
steps and sounded the brass knocker.
AVhat a noise it did make. .It seemed
as though every part of the house had
an echo and trembled at the concus
. sion.
For somo time T was kept waiting
outside: but at length the slow foot
steps of sonic one coming to the door
could be heard. Then came the sound
of bolls being thrown back, and then
Jtlie door opened.
Who was it?
A woman from the looks of the dress.
"Yes; it was a woman an old, wrinkled,
viekcd-looking woman, who reminded
me of one of the witches in Shakes
jeave's "Macbeth."
"What do you want?" was demand
ed in a tremulously high tone.
"My name is Worth, from II
city; nephew to Kobert Worth," I re
plied. "Come iu," was all she said, and I
'Was ushered into the hall.

"You see. although a brother, 1 was a

"He lelt me something which I valuo ,

"What is that?"' h. demanded.
"Au honest name."
"And 1 suppose that was all?"

"All the better," he muttered to him

1 obeyed, and noticed lor the first 1
time since mv entrance a very line
French plate m'rror that hung on the
wall near his head.
"Give me vour hand," he asked,
reaching out a long, withered hand for
me to clasp.
I did so, and the coldness of that hand
sent a tremor to my very heart.
Do you know why I have sent fi
you?" he now asked, looking at mo
with those dark eyes that seemed to
t pierce my inmost thoughts.
"1 do not, I answered.
" 1. will tell you then. To make you
my heir! I am about todiseloe to you
a part of my life that few persons know.
But first you must swear never to dis
close it to any one. Swear on your hon

shall never pass vour lips."
Like Hamlet, 1 took the oath.
" Have you ever heard tho name of
Fran-jeskie? But I do not think you
have. You have seen his picture?"
" Where? Down stairs?' '
"Aye; the painting of that beauti
ful youug man with the black eyes and
hair."

"Yes, I did," I answered, growing
feverishly interested.
"Well, that was his wife. Before
she married him her name was Dale
Flora Dale. 1 knew her before 1-ran-ceskie,
and loved her."
How despairingly the old man spoke

devastated the country. I was in de
mand constantly, and my success built
me up a home.
loo close attention could not help but
11 upon my health. I m :st have a

I concluded to have it.
I sought the mountains, and in a
quiet pastoral home my health returned.
The gJorioi3 Catskills! What an an
tidote they are to the si-k and diseased
mind!
One morning, taking my mountain
stall" with me. I left the village at the
foot of the mountain, where I resided.
and commenced the ascent of South
Mountain.
There was but a single cloud
visible
in the heavens, and that brushed the
top of Clove Peak, across the ravine.
The air had that transparency that is
often noticed in early autumn, lou
may ga.e until the eye wearies of the
distance, the atmosphere is so clear,
My path was very intricate, and it was
fully two hours after leaving the plain
below before I stood on Bowlder Hook,
nearly thrto thousand feet above the
sea level!
My soul was drinking in the bcautv
of the scene when a scream of terror
fell upon my ear.
Another instant I was bounding dan
gerously near the edge of the piecipice
toward the ery which! had heard.
i rounded a bowlder and beheld a
woman clinging to a shrub which
grew
n the edge of the precipice.
"Hold
t
on, and I will save your' 1
shouted.
She must have heard, for she held on,
and another instant I had drawn her
from the threatened death.
And then she did what any woman
would have done under the circum
stances tainted.
It was some time before I could
bring her to. When I did, and she
opened her eyes, great, heavenly eyes
she looked confused and asked:
"Where am 1?"
Those eyes that voice, so low and
pathetic made a thrill go over my per
son, and t was in a very unprofession
al tone that I answered:
"Sate; thank Heaven!"
" Oh, I remember. I slipped on the
recks. What an eseape from a horri
ble death!"
I assisted her to the hotel near by,
where she was staying, and was the
hero of the da' among the guests.
Header, do you wish to hear more?
Well, I will teil you. I have never re
covered the heart I lost that day on the
mountain.
A few days before our marriage my
fiance turned to me and said:
" Harry. 1, do not think you know
my true name. Do you think you have
ever seen me before?"
" Indeed, my dear, I think not," I
replied, "anu yet you resemble very
closely a painting 1 have seen."
" I wiw you, though, two years ago,"
she continued, smiling.
" Where?" I demanded.
There was a "tender light" in her
blue eyes as she replied:
"In the glass when your uncle con
fessed his crime." I'hUadciphia Call.

ience of color comes to bo properly
understood, such comb.natioa will be
imjwsAJble. We want some one to pre
pare u grammar and d ctionaryof tints,
or rather a "Ton-meiung" or "Ton
leiter," a Guide to the Gamut of
Colors and Tints." Not hl this is done
jihall we be able to dojuit.ee to the mar
velous number of hues that modern
manufacturers havu placed ready toon
hands. We shall have tints and semi
tints ranged in order, as tones and semi- .
tones in music We shall delight in '
the composition of cadences, of sym
phonies, and comprehend the value ol ,
intervals and the intricacies of modula- '
tion.
The theory of color is as yet un-1
known, ami we are but on the thresh
old of a delightful science. Though
there are manv to whom the study
would offer no attractions, vet these
would searcelv onto itnber those
who
have "no ear' for mif-ie, and who, not- j
withstanding that fact, attend con-:
certs, are tnughtto "play the piano," i
and are een given instructions in ing- J
ing until the tortured ears of the teach- j
er and of the martyried household lead
to their own release trom pa n. But to
those gifted with the capacity it will I
be an immense boon to have the science '
oi coior recognizee! as sucn, anu i:uu
open to the willing .-.indent. The char
acterization of colors has et to bo
studied. A French writer says: "You
may laugh in a sky-blue bonnet, but
voii must not weep in :i rose-colored
one." In the same wav no one would i
willingl put on a yellow gown if she.
felt dull or in a peevish mood. There
is a cheerful good-nature about the col
or, as seen in pansies, in la.-uruum, or
n buttercups, that uusnits it for darker
moods. Violet is sentimental, but the
paler mauve laughs with good nature
and a light heart. J hero is something ;
solemn about the splendor of the more
brilliant tints of red and mueh of pre-
tentiousuess in the decided shades of j
blue. M isJeians re oguizo similar qual
ities in the various kevs in which thev
ft
write, borne are chosen for interpret
ing a querulous ditt., and others Jor
wonts of a nielan holy drift. All these
possibilities are to be found in colors ai
in sounds, in tints as in tones. !any
of us now seize these harmonic-; by a
sort of intuition, but our interpretation
of them must be as lame and inade
quate as was Jubal's harp to render the
music of the spheres, perhaps more
audible to mortals in those early days
of the world's vottMi. Will no one ac-
comp,;sh for ight west musician have
done for sound? Wo have not even j
wo.ds wherewith to write of colors, but I
have to borrow from the language of I
musie. Should am- hereafter make the I
rough places smooth and the crooked i
ways straight, it will he a matter o!
gratitude, hot only to the possessor of
artistic perceptions, but to the world at
large, since the science of ilres mut
therebv become greatly simplitied. and
an inliirte variety be rendered possible
without further resources than those we
now possess. London Scioj.
