8> AT EVENTIDE. "At eventklo there shall be light," So sar»g the prophet long ago. An 1 c'en within the darkest night So.uo golden planet still will-glow, Its gilt light Hashing far and wido At eventide. En so tho star of fortuno shines Into our lives when all seems dark. And o'er the sea of lifo drflnos A pathway for hope's storm-tossed bark, Which o'er troubles waves will rido Jut eventide. —Malcolm Drummond. JOHN STANTOFS MISTAKE. Why He Banished the Iniaare of a Fair Enchantre»s Hose villa had been without a tenant for several months, and it was with a consider able degree of interest that John Stanton looked from his window just across the street one afternoon and saw a furniture van being unloaded on the sidewalk and its contents carried into the pretty little vine wreathed cottage. He had sprained his ankle several days before, and had been an unwilling prisoner In his room ever since, so even as small an event as the arrival of a tenant in the op posite house was a welcome break in the monotony of his days. He amused himself by idly wondering iFhat sort of people the new occupants tvould prove to be. and he tried to picture them to himself. They were evidently peo ple of culture and refinement, for a hand some piano was one of their possessions, jmd several .bookcases indicated a well-filled library. Two loads of furniture came before the now occupants of the cottage made their appearance. Just a* the van was going iway after depositing its second load two ladies came up the street, whom John sur mised at once were his new neighbors, as one was burdened with a clock and the other was carrying a bird cage. "What a little beauty!" exclaimed John enthusiastically . as his eyes fell on the face of the younger of the two ladies. Just as she reached the gate a mis chievous puff of wind caught her hat, and before she could hastily disengage one hand from her burden her headgear went whirl in:: down the street under the horses' feet, a small arab who had witnessed the catas trophe i:\ hoi pursuit. John did not regret this accident, for it 1 in; such an excellent .opportunity to admire liis pretty neighbor. The wind blew her golden hair around ■-!:•..I face and he only caught a glimpse of her features, but that one glance was sufficient to assure him that his first ion of her beauty was correct. ■ slender, graceful figure, '-just an armfull," thought John to himself, and berfoot was as small and shapely as her little white liands. John envied the ragged little urchin the bright smile that accompanied her thanks for the recovery of her hat, and as she van ished through the open door he set nis wits to work !" contrive some plan by which he mi flit become acquainted with this little en chaiitress. When his landlady brought np his dinner and seated herself for a little chat he asked. with as great a show of unconcern as he could assume, if she knew who had rented Hose villa. "Mrs. and Miss Vaughan, I believe their names ore," answered the landlady. "The husband is coming after a time. He has business in the city just now that keeps him there, [twill be nice to have neigh bors over there again, It's so lenely like to have the house shut up all the time." "Yes." assented John indifferently, as if the newcomers were not of the slightest consequence to him. The next day passed far more pleasantly for him than any of the previous days of his imprisonment had done, for from behind his lace curtains he watched every move ment of his new neighbors. lie could see into Rose villa thr otigh the uncurtained windows without the least dif ficulty, and all day long he watched the younger lady as she toiled industriously try ing to restore order out of the confusion of packing boxes and barrels of books. "How I would like to go over there and help her," thoutrht John, as he saw her mount a step-ladder, and with sleeves rolled up and a coquetish sweeping cap cov ering her pretty hair, drive picture nails with a precision and energy that were aston ishing in a woman. "She doesn't look much like her mother." thought John, as the elderly lady came out to shake a rug, and he had a good view of her sharp-fea tured face and corkscrew ringlets that bob bed up and down with every exertion she made. At last, alter two days of hard work, everything was in its place, and lace curtains, much to John's regret, obstructed his view, lie caught many a glimpse of his fair neighbor, however, for she had devoted her energies to the neglected gar den, and spent her mornings and evenings in waging war with the weeds which had taken possession of the flower beds. In the twilight she would seat herself at the piano, and as her ringers ran over the white keys John reveled in the music that the evening breezes wafted to his window. Sometimes Bweet low melodies with a minor strain underlying them, sometimes brilliant tantasies, according to the mood of the per former. Then again she would sing and the rich contralto voice would make the tender gloaming resonant with melody. "I must know her,'" said John to himself. "But how can 1 possibly get a chance to become acquainted with her?" He thought of confiding in his landlady and begging her to get acquainted with her new neighbors that she might then intro duce him, but he knew well how garrulous she was, and shrank from letting her know how much lie was interested in them. No, he must think of some^other way. At last a thought struck him. Hobbling over to his writing-desk as well as he could with the aid of a cane, lie drew out his writing materials and began to indite an epistle. It proved to be a long afternoon's work, for it seemed to him that he had never before known how utterly inadequate the vast resources of the English language areto express the thoughts of a lover, or rather conceal them, for his aim was to make his note merely courteous and grate ful. He had determined to write and thank her for the pleasure her music afforded him, as he was at present an invalid. "That will touch her heart," thought John. "I guess I won't tell her what's the matter with me. There isn't much romance about a banana skin and a sprained ankle." At the end of the epistle he intimated his great desire to make her acquaintance, and begged that she would pardon him for his seeming presumption, as he knew of no other way to become acquainted with her. "I hope she wont be offended," thought John, as he directed the envelope. "1 will get the doctor to post this note for rue, an,l then no one here will be the wiser for it." After his letter had been dispatched he watched anxiously until he saw the i><>st -111:1:1 deliver it at the cottage: then he sank back in his lounge in a perfect fever of sus pense. Suppose she should be angry at him for his presumption in writing to her! How should he ever make his peace with her? lie fancied that he was so desperately in love with her that life would scarcely be worth living without her, and he longed to offer himself to her and learn his fate. He had not very long to wait for an an pwer to ills note. In somewhat less than an hour the trim little maid crossed tiie street and left at the door a letter directed to "Mr. John Stanton," in a pretty angular handwriting. With trembling fingers John tore open the envelope. "What were the contents of the letter? He soon knew lor it ran thus: "Dear Mr. Stanton: I am very much flattered at your kind commendation of my poor attempts, and I am glad you enjoy them. I shall be very happy to make your acquaintance when you are "able to be* out again. I have often noticed you at the window and felt sorrow for you* you looked so pale and thin. I shall be glad to hear from you again. Yours, very sincerely, Axajtda Vatjguax." John read this note again and again in a perfect transport of delight. Could any thing have been kiuder and more friendly? She had noticed him and been sorry for him. What angelic pity! Every afternoon the elder lady practiced for an hour very sedulously upon Maiden's Prayer and Whisperings of Love, and the next day it seemed to John as if she would never stop. His head fairly ached, despite his hap piness, with the monotonous souud, varied only by occasional mistakes. He was im patient to hear his fair charmer play and sing again, for he knew that she would be thinking of him this evening. When at last she took her seat at the piano ho enjoyed her music with a keener pleasure than he had ever felt before; it was for him she was singing and playing now. Two or three notes passed between them and at last John could no longer restrain his love. lie poured it ■ all out in a long letter and begged her to end his suspense speedily, assuring her of his unalterable devotion to the end of his life. It did not take Miss Vaughan long to make up her mind, apparently. The little maid soon brought her answer, and John read. m "Dear, Darling John: I will be yours since you wish it. Can't you possibly come over this evening about 7 o'clock, that we may hold sweet converse together? Yours till" death, Amanda." It was only a short note, but it raised John to the seventh heaven of happiness. Of course he would go over and he pain fully hobbled around the room for an hour, making as elaborate a toilet as he could and consulting his glass with an anxiety he had never known before. At last 7 o'clock came, and, leaning heavily on his cane, he limped across the street and rang the door bell. The trim little maid admitted him with something that was very like a sternly sup pressed smile on her round, rosy face, and ushered him into the parlor. It was dimly lighted, and John sank into the nearest seat.' trying to control his agi tation and delight. Presently the door opened and a figure glided toward him. "My darling!"' exclaimed John raptur ously, with outstretched arms, and in an other instant he was pressing loving kisses upon the upturned face. Suddenly his blood seemed to congeal with horrified astonishment. 'They were at the further end of the room from the dim light, and he could not dis tinguish the features of the woman he had in his arms until a kindly Hash from the lire in the grate showed him the cork screw curls and sharp features of the woman he had supposed to be Mrs. Vaughan. "Madam, what does this mean?" he asked angrily, pushing her from him. "Where is Miss Vaughan?" "1 am Miss Vaughan." she answered, ad vancing toward him as if she contemplated sinking in his arms again. "My niece. Mrs. Vaughan, has just gone to the train to meet her husband!" '"I—l made a mistake!" he stammered feebly, and grasping his hat, he beat a hasty retreat. He moved all his belongings early the next morning before the inhabitants of Rose villa were astir, and he soon banished the image of his fair enchantress from his heart as whenever he thought of her he could not but remember the ridiculous mistake of which lie had been the victim. ■♦- "The Outcast Poor."
