THE OCONSCIOLS C0?(FESSI0X.
'Make'h'aste, gentlemen, the railway
oninibun is wailing !" crkd the voict of
the hall porter at the "Royal Hotel," at
Long Beach.
A tall, aud handsome young gentle
man, at the summuus, came down i the
st iircaee, two steps at a time, and almost
ran over a matronly lady, some years his
senior, who was crossing the hall of the
' What ! going to leave us ?" said the
mil v, -111 ovruic purpwoc, nuu uiuti; iuliui.hq
in betf looks thun in her words even.
"Yes'; it's no use," was the reply;
"Thanks for your good wishes, which I
can see in j-our looks," Mrs. Maxwell.
But I am tird of playing the fool."
Pfchaw I", said the lady, putting her
arm iamiiiatly into his, and leading him
! iuto the coffee-room, which, at that hour,
i was deserted. "'Faint heart never won
a fair lad-,' Mr. Hasting. Listen to me.
The omnibus will wait a moment." ' '
'It's not question of faint heart," an
swered the gentlemau. "But Kate won't
have me. 5ce here, Mrs. Maxwell,
she'refused me poiui blank last nighu"
"And what if she did ? I refused Mr.
Maxwell the first time myself. It's a
way some of our sex have. Come, Stay,
and try again."
I'm a proud man." was the reply,
"and don't like being trifled with. But
I'd stay if 1 thought it would do any
good.-. But in wou't. She isn't anywhere
about, you see, ; though I told j her
I would go away to-day. And when
I told her, she actually ! laughed. And
yet confound hor, I can't help loving
her."
Mrs. Maxwell would like to have laugh
ed also. But she knew better than to do
it just yet." - .'
' "She was., a littlo hysterical or she
wouldn't have langhed," she said. "The
truth is, Herbert, you are a pair of fools.
Your arc proud, as you say, and don't
brook refusals Kate is, perhaps, a bit
of a flirt, but I sincerely believe she
loves you. All she needs is a little more
urging. You most tonn the fortress
till it surrender. ' Give her no quarter j
that is my advice ;" .and now Mrs. Max
well, seeing his face brighten, ventured a
laugh. : 1 , : ! . li
lt was a clear, musical laugh, and it
cheered. Herbert still more. He hesitat
ed. If another five) minutes could have
been granted to Mrs. Maxwell, she would
have prevailed. But at this moment a
voice cried, "Here, he is. Make haste,
Hastings." "We've looked for you every
where!.! The coachman says he. cannot
wait another moment. Ah, Mrs. Max
well, our holiday k over you see. Good
bye.'.,' . 1 - ,f
That interruption decided Herbert.
He shook his head in reply to Mrs. Max
well's entreating look, wrung lier hand,
and dashed out of the coffee-room. -' The
next minute the omnibus diuhed away
from the hotel. . " "' f ',' rT: , -' 73
It was a mile to the station ; and ere it
wad reached, Herbert half repented what
he had done.: . .. n r-i
"Perhaps P have been too hasty," he
said to himself. "What if Mrs. Maxwell
is right 1 ' I've a great mind to go back
he thought. "Hold on, driver," he criedj
aloud. "I've changed my mind. . Stop
till I jump out." :"
- Before his companions could ask what
he meant, he had left the omnibus and
lit a cigar, , and was plodding along the
beach on his return : to the hotel, carpet
bag !ri hand. '' ' ' '' "
7 Meantime, where waa the . offending
Kate f To do her justice, sho was not
aware how much she loved Herbert Hast
ing until she had refused him. ' It waa not
altogether coquetry that led her to lay
"No." The answer had been given in
the first surprise and embarrassment of
the proposal. She was frightened" to
find,- almost immediately, how much the
misunderstood herself. She grew more
and sore embarrassed in consequence;
iu cosjlTJ9iio tus cio sd ths K6Eciiiit'or
and bcr' planner aiterVards.'a -which
Herbert took such 'offehse'w'As'.'as Mrs.
Maxwell had suggesle3. Verily1 'ih'e result
of nervousness. 11 Even ' before' he left
her', she bitterly 1repentedwwKAt she had
aid. t . :vv,nrl
'' II ad 'he persevered' A1 Utile longer she
would have confessed 1 'the truth;11 She
did not, howeveri'believefie would leave
Long Beach, even aftee he.' had said so.
Hence;: early in the) motaihi she had
started for a loug walk on the sands,
hopiug id meet;, bum ithere as asuol V.for
hardly a day had passed., within the last
month that these two had not so met. a:
There was an old' wreck, at that tine,
about a 'mile ' or more ! above the ' hotel;
which hbd beau atlavoritehauntnf tleirq
and thither ha 1 repaired. . . Sho. trie4 to
read till Herbert ifihauld appear j. but her
eyes wandered from her book continu

out Herbert, appeariogtil .'Her heart be

amiuiug her real feelings ; aud the, more
she scrutinized the more she felt that. her
love had gone from her forever. By-and
-by the hot tears began ) to come.. She
knew how proud Herbert bastings ,wasj
and she said to herself he would never
comeback. ' , '.;. ,. .
The 6ea rolled , heavily in ; the wind
blew fresh from the' eastward ; the sun
shone dazzling brigty. ' (She gave' np all
hope at last,' antt began to walk baclt id
nardgthe hotel. But after awhile ehe
sat down again on" the beach' above the
sands'' ' ho would not yet ' abandon the
chance of" seeing him. : Gradually ' she"
fell into a sort of reverie, and begrtn, nn
consciously' to trace r Herbert's came ia
the sand with the poiut of ' her1 pnrasoL
'' It was at ' this juncture that Herbert,"
walking along the top of the beach, 'dis
cerned her. ' His heart began 'to teat
fasti Here was the chance he had wish
ed, yet dared not hope"!flr., It surely
was a favorable sigh that 'she had gone
to their usual rendezvous. -;i He hastily
bent his stops' towards her; '! .: 1 '
: He'thonght she' Wonld hear him as he
approae.lteu. nut soe ata'i not. one
was evidently too .'ninch absorbed; in
what; liowevot', lie could not discover.
He came nearer and nearer. - What with
the roar of the surf and her own iabsorp
tion, Kate buU: remained unconscious of
of his presence. j; He approached , so
at last that he could look over her slioul-
r. Blessed vision ! . Could he believe
his own eyes l r, She .was writing with
her parasol in thesaud the word "Her-
hert." ....Z-1 1 ''.'.
Ilia first impulse was to snatch her to
his arms. He was loved, then ! Mrs.
Maxwell had been right.,
, But he restrained .himself, waiting
with bated breath to see what she would
do next.. , , ;
S,lie did nothing for a momeut. Then
she sighed, and went on tracing slowly
other words. They were I'jjerbert, I
love you '."
Hastings could control himself no lon
ger. Stooping over her, he caught Ka
te's face in hi hands, and kissed her
full on the lips! She sprang up," with a
half scream, and turned to face hira, au
grily, for she did not suspect for a mo
ment who il was. But when she recog
nized her lover, she blushed over throat,
cheek, and brow even, and covering her
face with both her bands, ' would have
runaway if Herbert had not been1 too
quick 'for her. " " ' : '- ' ' "
"Darling," he whispered, clasping her
in his arms and ' drawing her to htm,
"heiiven bluss yon for those words f I
had come to try my fate once more.- Say
that dear .confession over again." '
' ' Kate was silent for awhile;'' ' But his
caresses soon dried her tears, and made
her forget her momentary shame.- By-and-by
she looked up1 saucily, ' and ex
claimed, "Well listeners never hear any
good of themselves, and 1 if I'm 'such a
flirt as Mrs. Maxwell tells me I am, you
haven't much of a bargain;- There ; will
that do?" ... ,t.--,!
znfThen yon do ' love' me insisted
Herbert, eager to hear the acknowledge
ment in her own sweet accents- ': :
Kate's eyes were full of mischief. 1 '
1 ' '"What is written 'on sand," yod know,
is the simile for a waman's fickluesfl."
But even as she eoke bcr: sparkling
eyes' lost their saney look,' and gazed at
him with such love, that Herbert took her
in his arms again' and kissed her raptur
ously. ! ,'. H. ' : ' -
I- What a happy hour it was that follow
ed ! ? The lovers' paced np and down the
strand, far out of eight of any. intruders,
exchanging 'Confessions as to when they
first begauto be interested iu fach other.

Mrs. Maxwell happened to be stand

and Kate returned, toward lunch-time,

glance, but she c'onld not forbear a little
raillery.1 ; "'."'."' " ,"" '."
