CHAPTER L
A PrtAYKB AND A YOVT.
Wben this atory of my lifo, or of such por
tions of roy li e as pieseut any out-of-the-common
leatur s, U read, It will ba found
tbut I bave committed errors of judgment
that I have sinnud not only aoclully, but also
agoiust the law of the land. In excuse I can
pleBd but two things the strength of love,
the weakuesa of human nature.
If those carry no weight with you, throw
the book aside. You are too pood for met I
am too human for you. We cannot bo
friends. Road no further.
lnel say liotliraqr. about my childhood!
nothing about my boyhood. Let ute hurry
on to early manhood to that time when the
wonderful dreams of youth begin to leave
one; when the impulse which can drive ao
ber reason aside must be, indeed, a strong
one; when one baa learned to count the cost
of every rash step; when the transient and
fitful flames of tbe boy have settled down to
a steady, glowing fire which will bunruntil
only ashes are left; when the strength, the
nerve, the intellect, is or Bhould bs at its
height; when, lu short, one'a jetvn number
thirty. -
Yet. what was I thenl A soured, morose,
disappointed man; without ambition, with
out care lor the morrow; without a goal or
object in life. Breathing, eating, drinking, as
by instinct Rising in the mornins, and
wishing the day war. ovor; lyinar down at
night, and caring little whether the listless
eyes 1 closed might open again or not.
And why! Ahl to know why you must sit
with me as I sit lonely over my glowin? fire
one winter night You must read my
thoughts; the pictures of my past must rise
before you as they r se before me. My sor
row, my bate, my love must be yours. You
must, indeed, be my very self.
You inty begin this retrospect with tri
umph. You may go back to th? day when,
after having passed my examination with
high honors, L Bnsil North, was duly 'en
titled to write AL D. after ray name, aud sot
to work to win fame and iortune by
doing my best toward relievins the suffer
ings of my follow creatures. You may say,
as 1 said then, as I say now, "A noble
career; a life full of interest and useful
ness. " ' ' ,
You may see me full of hope and courage,
and ready for any amount of hard work;
settling down in a large provincial town
resolved to beat out ft practics for myself.
You may see how, after tbe usual initiatory
struggles, my footing gradually grew
firmer; how my name became familiar; how
at last I seemed to bo In a fair way of win
ning success. ... .
Y-umayseo how for a while a dream
brightene I my life; how that dream faded
and le:t gloom in its place. You may see
the woman I loved.
No, I am wron?. Her yon cannot sea.
Only I myself can Bee Philippa as I saw her
then as I see her now.

Heavens! how fair sne wasl now gionuus
her rich, dork boautyl How different from
the pink-white and yellow dolls w hom I have
seen exalted as the types of perfection I
Warm Southern blood ran through her
veins and linsd her clear brown cheek
with color. Her mother was en English
woman; but it was Spain that gave her
daughter that exquisite grace, Uiose won
drous dark eyes and long, curled lashes, that
mass of soft black hair, that passionate,
impulsive nature, and perhaps that quaen
liko carriage and dignity. The English
mother may have given the girl many good
gifts, but her beauty came from the father,
whom she bad never known ; the Andalusian,
wl o died while she was but a child in arms.
Yet, in spite of her forip;n grace, Pbilippa
was English. Her Spanish origin was to
her but a tradition. Her foot had never
touched hor father's native la nd. Its lan
guage was strange to ber. She was born
in England, and ber fatbor, the nature of
whose occupation I have not been ablo to
ascertain, seems to have spent most of his
time in this country.
When did I learn to love her? Ask roe,
rather, when did we first meet! Even then,
as my eyes foil upon the girl, I knew, cs by
revelation, that for me life and her love
meant ono and the same thing. Till that
moment there was no woman in the world
the sight of whom would have quickened
my pulse by a beat I bad read and beard
of such love as this. I had laughed at it.
There seemed no room for such an engross
ing passion in my busy life. Yat all at once
I loved as man has never loved before; and
T-i .rtntht anil rT itltn thll fllA I toll
myself that the objectless life I am leading
Is the only one possible for the roan who
loved but failed to win Pbilippa,
Our first meeting was brought about hi the
most prosaic way. Her mother, who suf
fered from a chronic disease, consulted me
professionally. My visits, first those of a
doctor, soon became those of a friend, and 1
was free to woo tbe girl to the best of my
ability.
Pbilippa and ber mother lived in a small
house on the outskirts of the town. They
were not rich people, but bad enough to keep
tbe pinch of poverty from their lives. Tbe
mothor was a sweet, quiet, ladylike
woman, who bore her sufferings
with resignation. Her health was.
Indeed," wretched. The only tLing
which seemed likely to benefit her was a
continual change of air and scene. After
attending her for about six months, I was
in conscience bound to indorse tte opinion
it would ba well for her to try another
change.

(Sweetest, are my words cruel! They are
the cruelest I have spoken, or shall speak,
against you. Forgive them !)
We were friends great frle da. Buon
friendship is lovo's bane. It buovs false
hopes; it lulls to sscurity; itleadi astray; it
is a staff which breaks suddenly, and wounds
the hand which leans upon it So Uttle It
seems to need to make friendhip grow Into
love; and yet how seldom that little is
added! Tho love which begins with bate or
dislike is often luckier than that which
begins with friendship. Lovers cannot be
friends. .
Pbilippa aud her mother loft my neigh
borhood. They went to London for awhile,
I heard from thptn occasionally, and once or
twice, when in town, called upon them.
Time went by. I worked hard at my pro
fession the while, striving, by sheer toil, to
drive away the dream from my life. Alosl
I strove In vain. To love Puilippa was to
love her forever!
One morning a letter came from her. 1
tore it open. Tbe newi it contained was
grievous. Her mother had died suddenly.
Pbilippa was alone in the world. So far as
I knew, she had not a relative left; and I be
lieved, perbapi hoped, that, save myself,
she had no friend.
I needed no time for consideration. That
afternoon Lwas in London. If 1 could not
comfort her in her great sorrow I could at
least svmpathiaa with her; could undertake
the management of the many business de
tails which are attendant upon a death,
Poor Philippe! Bbe was glad to see me.
Through her tears she flushed me a look of
gratitude. I did all I could for her, and
stayed in town until the funeral was over.
Then I was obliged to think or going home.
What was to become of the girlf
Kith or kin she had none, nor did shs
mention the name of any friend who would
be willin? to receive her. As I suspected,
she was absolotely alone In tho world. As
soon as my back was turned she would have
no one on whom she could count for sym
pathy or help.
It must have been ber titter loneliness
which ur jed me. in spite of my better judg
ment, in spite of the grief 'vhicn still oppress
ed ber, to throw myself at her feat and de
clare the desire of my heart My words I
cannot recall, but I think I know I pleaded
eloquently. Euch passion as roins gives
power and intensity to tho most unpracticed
speaker. Yet long before my appeal was
ende 1 1 knew that I pleaded in vain. Her
eyes, her manner, told me she loved me not
Then, remembering her present helples3
condition, I check! myself. I begged ber
to forget tbe words I had spoken; not to
answer them now; to let me say them again
in some months' time. Let me still be her
friend, and render her such service as I
""she shook her head; she held out her hand.
The first action meant the refusal of my
love; tbe second, the acceptance of my
friendship. I schooled myself to calmness,
and we discussed her plans for the future.
She was lodging in a hous in a quiet, re
spectable street mar Re,'ent's Park. Sha
expressed her intention of staying on here
for awhile.
"But alone!" I exclaimed.
"Why notl What have I to foarl Still,
I am open to reason if you can suggest
another plan." '
1 could suggest no other. Pbilippa was
past twenty-one and would at once succeed
to whatvr aoaey had been her mother's.
This waa eenisrh to live up n. Bhe bsd no
friends, and )uixat live somewhere. Why
should she not stay on at her present lodg
ings! Nevertheless, I trembled as I thought
of this beautiful girl all alone in London.
Why could she not love me! Why could

I strove to fores my dry Hps to fraras

covred my face with my hands.
The door oppned sudd nly and a man on

danced from me to Pbilippa with an air ol
auspicious inquiry. . i
"Dr. North, an old friend of my motWi
and min." she said, w ith composure "Mr.
Farmer," she added; and a rosy blush crept
round her neck a she indicated the now
comer by the name which I .felt aura wai
now also her own. .-
I bowed mechanically. I mads a few dis

own reasons for concealment-reasons known
to Philippa and approved of by her. Not a
word against her. She is still my queen;
the one woman in the world to me. What
she has dons is rfcrht!
I passed a sleepless night In tho morning
I wrote to Philippa. I wished ber all happi
nessI could command my pou, if not my
tongue. I said no word about the secrecy
of the weddin?, or the evil so often conse
quent to such concealment But, with a fore
boding or evil to com?. I be .'god her to remem
ber that we were friends; that, although
I could see her no more, whenever she
wanted a Iriend's aid, a word would bring
me to ber side. I used no word of blame,
I risked no expression or love or regret No
thought of my grief should Jar upon ths
happiness which she doubtless exacted to
find. Farewell to the one dream of my lifo!
Farew. 11, Philippa!

every one in town. As we passed the door
of one of the moat exclusive of the clubs 1

men, the man whom I knew was Philippa's
husband. His face was turned from me, so
I was able- to direct my friend' attention to

not such love as minl Tims, they say, can
boal every wound. Not such a wound as
mine 1 My whole existence underwent a
change when Philippa showed me the wedding-ring
on her finger. No wonder It did.
Hope was eliminated from it From that
moment I was a changed man.
Lifo was no longer worth living. The
spur of ambition was blunted; the desire for
fame gone; the Interest which I had hitli.
erto flt iu my profession vanished. All the
spring, tho elasticity, seemed taken out of
my being. For months nnd months I did
my work in a perfunctory manner. It gave
me no satisfaction that my practice grew
Inrzer. I worked, but I cared nothing for
my work. Success gave me no pleasure. An
increase to the number of my pcitients was
positively unwelcome tome. So Ion? as I
mnd n.oney enough to surpjy my daily
needs, what . it matter! Of what use
was wealth to me! It cou d not buy me the
one thin? for which I craved. Of what use
was li e! No wonder that such friends as I
had once possessed all but forsook mo. My
mood at that time was none of tho sweetest
I wanted no friends. I waa alone in tho
world; I should be always alone.
So things went on for more than a year. I
grew worse instead of better. My gloom
deepened; my cynicism grew more con
firm d; my life became more and more
aimless.
These are not lovers' rhapsodies. I would
spare you them if I could; but it is necesssry
that you should know the exact state of my
mind in ordsr to understand my subsequent
MinrliMt ICvan nnw it enema to liu that I

forget her, and tbrougn ail tnose weary

passed six dreary months in my lonely cojb-l
tage, I was trying to brace myse.f to seek a
change of seen. surau ium
, onut abode: but every day formed
afresh the resolve to do so.
Yet the days, each the same as Its fore
runner, went by, and I was still there. I
had books, of course. I read for days to
gether; then I would throw the volumes
aside, and, with a bitter smile, ask myself
to what end was I directing my studies.
The accumulation of kuowledge! Tush ! I
would give all the learning I had acquired,
all that a lifetime of research could acquire,
to hold Philippa for one brief moment to
my heart, and bear ber say sha loved met
If in the whirl of men, in the midst of hard
work, I found it impossible to conquor my
hopeless passion, how could I expect to do
so living as I at present lived !
Theret my egotistical descriptions are al
most over. Now you know why I said that
you must sit by tbe fire and think with me;
must enter, as it were, into my inaer seii
before you can uuderstana my menial smi.
Whether you sympathis with me or not
depends entirely on your own organisation.
If you are so constructed that the love of
one woman, and one only, can pervade your
very being, fill your evxry thought, direct
your every action, make life to you a bleis
ing or a curse if love oomes to you in this
guise, you w ill be able to understand me.
That night " hen I first presented myself
to too, my wounds seemed less lik ly than
ever to heal ; forgetf ulnass seemed further
nnd further away. Somehowasmy thoughts
took the well-worn road to the past, every
event teemed rocent as yestarday, every
scene vivid as if I bad just left it Hour
after hour I sat gasing at the glowing em
bers, but seeins only Philippa's beloved
face. How bad life fared with her! Where
was she at this moment! The resolve to
quit my seclusion was made anew by me.
I would go into the world and find ber not
for anv selfish motive. I would learn from
ber own lips that she w as hopry. If unhappy,
she should bave from me such comfort a
tbe love of a true friend can give. Yes, I
would leave this wretched life to-morrow.
My cheek flushel as I contrasted what I was
with what I oujht to be. No man has a
right 1 1 ruin hU life or hide bis talents for
tbe saks of a woman.
I bad another inducement which urged
roe to make a change in my mode of lif a
I acs aabamed that I have not spoken of it
That morning 1 had received a letter from
my leVther. I had not seen her for six
years. Just as I entered man's estate she
married for the second time. My stepfather
was an American, and w ith many tears my
mother left me for her new home. Some
months ago bsr husband died. I should
bave gone to bar, but she forbade me. She
bad no children by her second husband, and
now that bis affairs were practically wound
np she pro pos -d returning to '"njland. Her
letter told me that she would be in London
In three days time, and suggested that I
should meet ber there.
Although of 'lata years we bad drifted
apart, she was dear, very dear to tae. I
bated toe thought of ber seeing m , ber
only child, reduced to such a wreck of my
former self; yet for her sake I again re
newed my resolve of leaving my seclu
sion. Yet I knew that to-morrow I should for
swear mvself, and sink back into my apathy
and aiiuleas existence. Ah! I knew not
what events were to crowd into the morrow!
But now back to the night It was mid
winter, and bitterly cold out of doors. y
lamp was not yet lighted; the glow of my
fire a'ene broke the darkness ef tbe room.
I had not even drawn the curtains or ahut
the shuttsrs. At times I liked to look out
and are tbe stars. They shone so peacefully,
so calmly, so coldly; they seemed so unlike
tbe world, with its strife and Bares passions
and disappointments.
I ross languidly from ray chair and walked
to tbe window, to one what sort of a nlgbt it
was. As I approached the casement I could
see that tbe skies bad darkened; moreover. I
noticed that feathery Hakes of were
acenraolating ia she cornsr ef each pane. I
went close to tan window and peered ant
into the night
