A .ST0R.\1 ON THE COAST.
T nas during one of those bot spells in the month of Jaue, when be¬ tween tbe mos- quitoea and the beat life seemed unbearable, that Dalton snggeated a hasty retreat to t^ tho pine woods Z' and Oulf breezes on the Miesiseippi Bonnd.
"By all means," I said. "There is nothing doing in the way of business here; we are tied down by reason of otber people's absence to oar offlea dcaks, so we migbt jnst as well take'np our quarters nntil fall by the Mne waters of the Onlf and run in daily to see onr mail."
Then I bethought mo of an elderly annt of mine, Annt d'Arrille, ahom I had not seen for  quite  a  nnmber ot
fears, partly from disinclination, for preserved a vivid recollection of ber nnpleavnt manners, and partly be¬ oaose I bad been absent abroad repre¬ senting our bouse, first in Uavre and tben in Bremen.
"We will go to Setview Cottage," I taid to Fred. "I have an elderly rel¬ ative wbo will take ns io, I hsve no doubt, and as we will be ont ot the bouse most of the time flahing or sail¬ ing, tbe old lady's moods and tempers will not be intolerable."
Annt Martha waa o caution, I re¬ membered, in those days of my youth, when we were familiarly ooquainted with each otber.
I sappose tbe poor eonl't temper had been soured by her bosband's failnre and bis too philoaophical ao- oeptance ot it afterwarti
Uis death later oo did not mend matters; for like all people uf her ex- aoting temperament, ond bard, deter- minetl. narrow minded nature, sbe was tenaoions in ber afTeotion, if weari¬ some in a degree io the repressed, vehement, paritonioal way she had of showing it, and ber grief,while sincere and respectable, was an added inflic¬ tion to ber sarroundings.
It was a dreary atmosphere in wbiob to bring np ber only child, that pale- faced littiu odnsin of miue, Adsle.
I wondured vaguely wbat sort of a yonng woman she had grown into,  be waa a plain child. Her only redeeming feature I could recall waa her eyes. Sbe bad iuheritod tbem from bor fatbet. They were large and brown, soft aud brilliant, and were voiled with thick, dark lanbei., which threw a shadow on her pale little faoe, making ber look, I thonght, sUll more trail aud melancholy.
What bad induced Aunt Martha to marry our Consul, Paul Boremmaai d'Arrille, no ooe bail been able to ilis- corcr, nnlcBsit was bis brilliant wit, inteuue divergence from herself and handsome fuoe.
Cortainly oo two people were ever moro disMimilar in tastes and modes of thought, and I fancy d'Arrille, whom I always looked on as a most faiioiLating man from bis fine man¬ ners, versatile oonveriiation and gen¬ eral attractiveness, soon wearied of bis wife's tuo austere, methodical temper snd habits.
No donbt be failed to disoover un¬ der her cold, precise manner tbo flno feeling and nature wbiob lay bid and' did not reveal iteeU. Bo, like many another marriage, tbey grew apart, 'mud when flnanoial troublea bofell she booame btrsh and bitter, albeit sbe bore ber bnrdens bravely, and d'.Vr- villo drifted into club habits and kept out of the bouse.
Son view is a beautiful placa.
A low, wide-spreading cottage, whoso windows and piaraae are cov¬ ered with clambering rose vines aud whose green lawn is ebuded by gigan¬ tic oaks, it invites to repose.
As a boy I nottld lull un one of the variuus benches under th.-ir shade, readiag sume novel or detective story, while thu soft swish of the water bn tbe narrow beach jast beyond tbe car- den gate plaved a minor key totbe thrilling iucideuts of the story. Or I woald sit ou the {.^rass ao.l mea.l my liiieii niul uetc, while little pu'ie-faoed Del wouKl eit ourlctj np witb hor Sew- fouuilla-tii, iu a eulitlued, i-ilent wnv, by my side.
"There is splendid flshing roauJ the iaianjii out lu tlie liny, n fow hnurs' tun oorutia from Seaview," I saitl to Fre 1, an 1 fuKleil and sciiled my letter to Auut Marllio, telling her to expect OS by the afternuuu tram.
"The old Iniiy has ber cranks and crochets," I explaiaetU an we opened tbe gate and walked up a garden path liotwcen trim bm borders and flower beds and iikirled a well kept lawn, "but ehe is 'trut; blue' all tbruugh.'
Auut Martbs gr^'etitd un with less frigiility tbaa I hatl auticipated, aad lhe.,l{c<HtB of veara, in silvering her bane. Cad olviuaaly meUoweJ some of bor osperitiea of temper.

renewed accqiinintance, nhe saitl, wonld verify tho existence of tho "rough good-natured fellow she liked so moch."
Wc strolled ont on the narrow plank¬ ing of the wharf, side by side, to whero Fred still sat, enjoying the cool breezes of the gulf, his cigar, the brood viaw of paling waters and sky tints, and tbe faint song of some fisher folks wafted to us by the light even¬ iug winds as a coasting lugger beat her way slowly down the channel.
Fred's back woa toward ns, and ho only turned, aware of our presence, when I cnlled to him to present him te my refuuud consiii, MisH Del.
That was my great miitake.
No one knew better thsu I Ji.l that Dalton is a particularly pleasing fel¬ low.    Everybody likes him.
He is clearly one of nature's favor¬ ites, tor besides an uncommonly bright mind, muob practical sense, as evi¬ denced by bis success in life, Fred his a graoiousness and a bright, nnaffeoted wit which makes him a mncb sought after man by all, and everywhere, at all times and all places.
Bo it was to be expected that a ohild like Del, brought up austerely, aloof from tbe world, mostly in the graud solitudes of Aunt Martha's seashore retrest, wonld be quickly charmed by so plessant a felluw.
June merged into July, wbioh iu turu slippeil by with swift, anconscious flight, the pleasant days following eaoh other all too quickly, as we would ran into town each mornjng, look at our mail, step iu at the clnb, thou catch the 9 o'clock train and speed back to Seaview to lounge throngh tho cool, sweet evenings and nights.
Augnst oame and went all too swift¬ ly, eaoh day adding to tho loug ac¬ connt of hopes, fears, desires, antici¬ pations, determined resolves and pos¬ sible bitter antagonisms wbich we would hourly balanoe, Fred and I, when tbe fall wonld come and tho summer ceaee.
From a close friendship and intl- maoy, built on long years of likiufi, esteem and daily interconrse, Fred tnd I tell into a polite frigidity and an aloofueat from eaoh other, which was galling to each of nn, bnt which neither could break through or over¬ come.
Between ns stood Del'a sweet witch¬ eries, rippling laughter and livelier graces, bright worde and wondrous graces, piled mountains high in an im¬ penetrable barrier, wbiob cat io two tbe ties of boyish yaars and tbe friend¬ ships of manhood, leaving us a stern antagonism and an implaoable deter¬ mination to each seek witboat stay or stint wbat tbe uther most ooveted on thit green, smiling earth.
Annt Martha led her bnty life witb calm regularity, at Del each day gave na a joyous greeting trom her ponr carriage wheu we alighted trom tbe train; chatted with Fred and coaxed me to a better bnmor, or sat with mo on tbe moonlit porch and tang tome tweet dilty, then chatted in French witb Fred, adding oaoh day to tbe list of onr long reckoning, wbiob in the' after years would make or mar two lives.
"You both leave lo-moriow tor good and all!" said Del that laat evening, clasping her little handi in mock des¬ pair. "Whatever will I do without you I How dull Seaview will be when you are gune I Poor me I No more sailing I No more flsbingi No more moody, silent, irrational, oross com¬ panions to make time pass pleasantly, and to break tbe deathly monotony of theso great oppressive woods I"
Fred looked at mo and I at him.
We were grouped under a spreadiug onk, down by tbe water's edge, wbere a small table and chairs bad been pinced, for Dol delighted to servo ns tea when twiliKbt set in, close to the murmuring tide, astbe wnvolets broke gently on tbe wbite sands of the beach.
Fred and I nnderetood each other.
Slowly be roue, lit a cigar with a slightly unsteady band and strolled off down the straight shell rood.
Del's oyes followed his tsU figure as it stood out distinct iu tbe paliug ligbt^ and uucouscious of my steady gaze, ber groat bruwu eyes took un a tender, wistful Ipok, wbiob pierced my benrt like a poisoned dagger.
"Will tbe aolitnde teem dnil wbeo we are gone, Del ?" I aeked.
"Deathly dnil!" tnid Del, with a slight qniver of her tender mouth.
"Aunt Martha sball bring you to town, you pour little csged bird I" I sail], taking ber hand in miue.
"Mamma will never leave Seaview, nor let me go away evap for a day witbont her," said Del, moving np clos<'r tu me, as if fur protection sgainst tbose long, solitsry days of approaching wiuter.
"Then we must take you away by force, little one,"I aaid witb decisiou, putting my nnn prutoctingly around her shoulder. Dol leaned her head, crowned witb its rippling bnrninbed gnld, on my shoulder, not koowioi; of tbe throbbiai; heartbeats so cloi<e to bers, or of tbe riling storm of emo¬ tions she was creating.
'Ob, Coa"in Alleo, if yon could ouly Ket mtimma to leave this dreary, ilroary place," ahe wiiJ plca<liugly — "get ber to consent to my living like other girls I wonld lovo yoii, ohi so diarly, all my life!"
"Uoyou pro.-nise thst, Del? Is it a bargain?" I asked, while a dull pain seixed bold of my boart strings, "l>n yon trnly lovo yoar oltlerly ooaein?"
"Of course I do," answered Del, nestling elo-e to my sid.^, while tlie soft evening breeziw wafted ms the scent nf ber perfumed bair.
"I love you doarly," sbe a.llid,
Unt her frauk, nnembarrasst-il sordi only added to tbe growing pain in my heart, to tbo tnmultuuus emotion.ti which were invatling me.
".\nJ Fred ?" 1 asked softly, holding ber geutly to my side.
"Cousin .Mlenr'sbe murmured in sn imploring tuoe, turning to bide on Iiiy HbonMer her lovely face, over wbicb bad swept a wave of culur.
"All right, little one," 1 whispere.l renssjriugly, while tbe tempeat uf baiHed hopes, rained anticipations aul mnrdered jov swept in a burst of fury 'jver my suiil and nenaoa, orerabclm- ing me with tbeir bitter walerii.
"Ail right, Del, little conaiu mine! Yon shall not spend the glorionn years uf yoar Tontb lu these saj solitodes. Vonr' happinesa is dearer to me than life itself, and I know one wbo lives only in the ht.pe uf bavini( aoon tbe right to order your sweet yonng life on lines of light anil happiness. I will see .\ant Martha," J ail.le.i, risinij kIowIv, "an 1 I will send Prei to yon."
"vV>a»;n .Mien!" i-be again sail, cliot'ing breathlessly to me.
"LA-t me po, tiesr," 1 sail lightly, while tbe Inrv of a bitter re;:ret and a burtiosue of wild eniolion (.book my aool and wrses and tbreateoetl to anb- marge my h val determination to lel Fred gain tbe annsbine of life, heace- 'orth loet 'orever to me.
"Ijook b«re.° I a<ldej jeetingly, "I ¦ail aail Fred back before ths sturm barata, Pafore i. furiotu tornado eomat along lo iDievfero with onr bright plaaa for tba future!"
'Whv, eoBoin Alleo!" aaid Del, )IM^ kv haad la attoaiahnaat tram
its contltling  rest  on my breast, and lifting to   luine  iu  wide-eyed wunder ber  beautiful soft  eyea.      "What in i the   world   are   you talking   about f There's no storm brewing'     Why tho ' night  is  calm  and keaatifnl I'    JasI ¦ luok how qnlct tbe water is; how ser   { enely tho stars shine out I" :
But I IttUi^hed  aloail,  knowing  the ' tempest whioh was ragins; in my heart,  ! the  wrecked   blosaoma   of   hope   nml joy whioh   lay bruised  und   scattcretl over tho mlvuncing years, and I ealled to Fred, who was slowly approaching,  j
"Here,   Dalton, " I   naid,   cheerily.  ! "This   little   cousin   of   mino,   over ' wbom I hnve assmed a father's anthor- ' ity, fears Ihe dull winter months. Sho would like, the   silly   little   bird thnt sho is, to rteo from the sweet protect¬ ing solitudes uf hor ol.l cottage home. I toKl her   you  oonld suggest a satis- ; factory   arrangement for   her.    1 am j going iu   to  diacass  tho  matter with i Aunt Marlha." |
Fred stood up and wrung ray hand with silent aud deep emution.
It was Into whcu our evening, filled with so muob joy to two ol us, oame to ' an eud.
"Cousin Allen," whispered Del, holdiug fast my hands, as we said good night. "Uow oonld you fear a storm? Was tbere ever a uight eo blissfully calm and beautiful? Thia is the kind uf weather that reigns in Paradise."
"Sans douto, little flonee," I an¬ swered back laughingly; "neverthe- lecs, a great sturm has raged on the Oulf coast this evening, and tbe min and wreckage it has left behind it will never bo repaired,"—New Orleans Times-Demoorst.

Tho rcigu of tho bolero jacket Las begun. Indeed, wo are likoly to see a good deal of these littlo coats beforo tho winter is over. Very pretty tboy are, made iu somo of the new silken fabrics. A charming spooimon shown to me recently was of black moiro silk woven witb sj^ver threads, and bor- deredjwith rings of silver embroidcrr, in tho centre of each of wbich ap¬ peared a little tuft of ribbon. Thu chemisette, of finest mousselino <*. soie, was draped artistically, and fot tbe waist tbere was a wido oointnro of black satiu folded twice round the fig- nrc, A still more striking bolero uf emerald green velvet was thickly em¬ broidered with fine jet boads. Tho edge was cut iu a design of oak loaves eucrnstcd with iridescent beads reflect¬ ing gleams of gold, green and red, and tbe vest consisted df a luvely bit of real lace in a soft ecru tiut. Not qnite so youthful iu stylo is a third little jacket uf peluuia velvet showing tbrougb a trelliswork of block em¬ broidery lightly sponglel with jet. The vest, uf jetted tulle, hod a big tnlle bow at the throat. Skirts of either cloth, velvet or sillt mny be worn, and all luok equally well.
