Devcre. sat in. her beautiful -boudoir, evidently in a brown study. Her eyes looked dreamily into the grate, while her hands, dimpled and fair as an infant's, lay listlessly in her lap. a quiver touched her lips and some bid- dec emotion of the heart sent a quick tear forth from the brown eyee and rested like a pearl on the long lashes that swept her cheek.

Suddenly the door opened and a laughing, happy face sheared, then a lovely young girl came dancing into the room, "In Clara? Have you forgotten that this is my birthday, that twenty glad years have, one after borne me in their tender arms till uow I stand on the threshold of womanhood? Look forth, and see what gloriotistaorning this ie. The lawn is a see of glass, and the evergreens arc clad jii silver. The elm its droop- iug branches looks like a flashing fountain whicu lie rainbow has touched into added beauty. Come, sweet, your eyes not maae for tears; rich and a widow; the world of man- -Jjiml ready to fall at your feet; the.world of womankind ready to expire with envy at your superior "Hush, Grace am ready to coiigratulate you, and do sincerely wish you many happy retarrre of this, to you, iiappf-- day; To me this is peculiar sadness, tor it is the anniversary of some of tiie most sorrowful of my life. One year ago when yon came into my home, to bemycom- pcniou and friend, you brought with you a flood of sunshine and love tha' rou made me half forget my sorrow, bas today it comes over me with renewed power, and I cannot seem to rise above Teli me about it, sweetheart, for though much of your sad history is to me, yet it will lighten the burden to tell it all over to some one loves and sympathizes with yon." 1'ou are a blessed comforter, Grace, and I feel iadined to trespass on your goodness of heart by telling over again my sorrows, aad perhaps by relating a chapter in my life that is unknown to any but myself undone other." "It was five years ago to-day that my died, after seeing me wedded to tue man of his -choice, but not mine, for niv heart bad' never been touched by iiiiything stronger than filiallove.

But then I was so young; only eighteen and quite a novice concerning the wiles and ways of the world at large. I have of ten Wuderedif looking down from heaven upon my desolate life, my father did not see what a mistake he had made. I can never forget those two terrible years with one who was a husband by name, but in keeper. If there had beea gentleness and kindness, he might have won my love even then; but he often said, 'you are mine by all tbe power vested in the law; and you shall vield your will to se he tortured ine- as -only such souls The first atom of joy came into my life was when, in the second year of our marriage little Grace was born. I can never forget the thrill of happiness that came to my heart when I firsttook the Jifelpless little ouc iu my arms, and felt her soft breath upon my cheek.

what love is there so so perfect, as a mother's love It Tvas upon her-first birthday, you re-: member, that her father was thrown from his horse upon the pavement and instantly killed, and the shock it gave me was terrible, though I could not inourn as do those wives whose hus- hauds die and leave them a grateful legacy of lova. "BabyGraoti was such acomfortto me in those days, with ter pretty winsome ways, and my life was BO bound up in her that I forgot to thank God for the precious gift and held her as my own. But the time came when the dimpled cheeks grew pale and the dear eyes that always made me think of forget-me-nots grew heavy, and day by day she faded, till tue time came when she put up her httk- cold lips for a last kiss and went to be with the angels. It was on the third anniversary of my marriage, ago to day and it a fitting culmination of. a Bad and fatal mistake.

0, the desolation of those days when it to me that even in neaven my haby longed and grieved for me, as 1 for her on earth. My husband.as you know, had left me aa abundance of wealth, more in fact than I well knew fo do with. Then I went out into the houses of the ior'I felt that it was selfish in me to nurse my own Borrow wbsu there were those whose losses were equal to mine in sense with the additional burden oi poverty. You would ke surprised to knew of the refinement ft nd culture that I found in many or these homes of the poor. Pride, too, that would not brook any idle almsgiv- but the sorrow that not only my noble robes, but my face revealed, op- sued doors of usefulness that to my wealth alone wouldhave been closed.

It wasabout thifitime that I went into of the hospitals of ihe oily 'with some offering of fruit and flowers. Asi Balked down one -of the wards I was struck by the appearance of man who on a cot near the entrance.

I took the owers from he pillow and laid, them saying as, I did so, 'paneaes ease' then I passed on the wards laying the fruits and flowers in many eager hands, but tbe dark eyes oi the stranger to follow me all the way, AS I finished and was about to leave of the nurses came to me and.

told me that the patient in cot desired to speak to me. I went Sack and.found it was my patient with ihe dark eyes that had impressed me so Btrougly. He seemed much moved and I sat down, waiting for him to become more composed. Thenheaddressedme: 'Your delicate charity, madame, is like the ministry of angels, and it has my heart as nothing of the kind before. I am a stranger in a strange city.

I came here moved by a feeling of unrest that I could account for only in this way: For five years I watched over and caved for an insane wife, -refusing to give her up to care of proper keepers lest she might not have the tender care that I was so willing to bestow upsn her. Six months ago she was released from suffering and taken home; then it seemed to me that my work was dene. So I have been wandering from place, to place till I ceme here. A few days ago walking upon an icy pavement I fell and received a serious injury. I was picked up insensible and brought to this place, and while I have abundant means to pay for "better aocommodations, I ain likely to be kept a prisoner some days, as my physician tells me that a removal to my hotel would hazardous.

Pardon me for wearying yon, but for some reason difficult to ex- to myself, I do not wish you to believe me a claimant upon public I had only tune to assure him of the deep interest I already felt in his history, when tiie nurse came and forbade all further conversation as she saw that her patient was too much excited for Ms own good. I went home in a very singular mood. Turn which way I would, a pair of dark eyes were looking into my heart, thrilling me with new strange emotions. After two or "three, days had passed. I went to the hospital again, scarcely acknowledging myself that an influence more potenl than reason or judgment was drawing me! with almost irresistible force.

A radiant face and outstretched hano greeted me as I entered Ijhe ward. Thank you for he said in broken tones. I have thought of your delicate kindness so many times. You, too, have suffered, I know, and out oi suffering is born pity for "He was much bettffi, and I sat by him a long time listening sometimes to the' story of his life, and sometimes, moved by an irresistible impulse, telling him something of Tny bitter experience. As I arose to go, he begged me to eome again.

Arid I went time aftei time, fascinated with the strange anc rapidly growing friendship, resolving, again and again, that I would break a war from it, and returning as often to my "delighttul bondage. And well might, for such revelation of character was entirely new to me. A man, in the grandest sense of the rare culture and attainments, a king men, to which was the two-folc qualification of being able to 'render unto the things that are Cassar's and unto God the things that are God's; just to men and true to heaven. You wonder how I learned so nuch I cannot tell, only I know that true goodness cannot be counterfeited. And i shone out through his face and made itr pelf felt as irresistibly as you feel the light I was beguining to realize that was dangerously interested in him when the news of your mother's illness took me suddenly away from the city.

When I returned he was gone, but he left message for me, thanking me, and hoping the-time would come when he migh feeLfree to renew the acquaintance. The nurse said he watched for me for days lingering even longer than was rieedfu in hopes to see me again, but finally went away, feeling that 1 had slighted him. How little he knew my heart, for, though two years have fled away I have never forgotten him, though I have never seen him since.

Sly dear cousin, did you ever hear what became of unbelievers?" "They become COB verted sometimes, do they Clara? and however hardened you may deem me, I am open to conviction. Sly fear is this: I. have seen so many women who were mere mendicants in their own homes, whose actual necessities were supplied so jrudgingly that -they-could not but feel Jiemserves objects of charity, rather wife, companion and Mend.

I should rejoice to bear my share of the burdens, but I should hate a man who. doled out a paltry pittance a favor rather than a case you are making out, dear. Tour imagination could cpnjsure up a chapter of horrors that would set all womanhood -Eghast. If women are slaves to their husbands, the the majority pf them' are loving captives and- are unconscious of their chains. "Where love is, there is liberty.

"Ah! but a lover is one tiling ana a husband another, Clara; I am well awar that he IB very fond of lauding woman to to the skies, but I am not sxdficientl; seraphic to feel comfortable in tha cloudy region. I should be tumbling down into ibis world and asking impertinent questions about the why. and wherefore of Among others, I should ask Dr. Wai dron why in the name of reason and common sense hepnt his money in th bank and worked Kfce any other common mortal for his dafly bread.

Mrs. Devere went out in the hall and was touched to the heart at the sight of an aged woman who stood feeble -and trembling before her. She inquired-into her history and gave her a liberal donation from her purse.

As she turned away a merry ringing laugh arrested'her footsteps and she turned again to in the beggar the sweet presence of iter cousia Grace. how you startled me. What is the meaning of this I propose to try this disguise in the presence of Dr. Waldron and test his liberality. If he stands the test I will renounce my unbelief and confess myself conqaesed." What if he should penetrate the disguise? It seems to me you are running a great risk." me for that.

It is woman wit against man's sagacity; and.I am Just then the servant came in beanng a silver on which was a note addressed to" Grace and an exquisite bouquet of flowers for Mrs. Devere. As Grace read the note, a lovely color came into her face, and she glanced up quicV 1 into her cousin's face as she said "Will says he is coming -up this evening, Clara, and he asks permission to bring a friend with him who has lately returned from Europe. But what makes you so pale?" those flowers, Grace; who could have sent them? how they bring back the time when I first met my friend of St. Mary's Hospital.

The very same flowers with these lovely rosebuds added." Pansies for heart ease and rosebuds for love; truly, my darling, this begins to look like the beginning of a romance," laughed Grace. Bather, it shows to that unconsciously I have been cherishing a hope that the day would come' when I'should be permitted to meet one who has long filled my heart But hope now yields to despair. Take the flowers away, Grace, they make me faint" "Don't despair, Clara. I have a sweet presentiment that happiness will come to you some day when least expecl it: Nay, love, Joy wfll come you ancl sit down beside you and look in your brown eyes and kiss your sweet lips and make yon forget all the sadness of thai past. 'So don't be sorrowful darling, Dont be sorrowful, pray.

For taking the year together, mj- dear, There isnt more night than Now as I am all ready, I.will set out on my mission and try my powers of persuasion on the renowned doctor, but woe be to him if he fails to stand the test CHAPTER IL Dr. Waldron sat in his pleasant office meditating over his prospects in life, and judging by the light in his grej eyes, meditations-were of a somewhat hopeful character. He had beei wooing Grace Elliott for someI time am was fullv conscious of her peculiarities as well as her graces and virtues. While he was not in the least crafty he knew that only by tact ianddiscretion could hi win what be prized above every earfblj maiden's heart But subtle sense of power, that supplemented an all-absorbing love held him true to his purpose to win the shy maiden despite her prejudices and reserve. As meditated and planned a hopeful future, the door.opsned and an aged, infirm woman came slowly forward.

A few straggling grey locks caped from an old-fasbioned bonnet that shaded and nearly concealed her face. Her eyes were hidden behind a pair of dark bine glasses. Supposing it to be some poor patient who required his services, Dr. Waldron arose and politely conducted her to a seat, asking kindly after her health and how he could best erve herl If he had known that there at the woman he loved, trembling under her disguise like a frightened )ird, her would have lost his self-possession at once. -Grace made an eloquent plea fwSod, telling of poverty and pri- ration Qmt would touch the heart of a tone.

Dr. Waldron listened to her plea thoughtfully and patiently, and when she had finished he arose and walked back and forth as though undecided what to do. Ah! said Grace toherself, his love for woman does not exceed that of his love or bis pocket-book. It rarely does in men." Just then he I am not rn avor of indiscriminate charity, my good woman, tor I -think, as a rule, we can ncrease rather than diminish pauperism thereby; but there is something in old age," he saidj as a tender glow came into his eyes, "that always appeals to the holiest and best there is in me. For of my own sweet mother whose silver hair is as beautiful to me as the ace above which it shines, I will grant 'or woman's sake, your request, belies ng you for her sake, to be what yon pror fess." He gave money and bowed ler out as as he.woaldtiie reigning belle.

Tears rained down her face as she hastened away, calling herself traitor and a false pretender. He stood the test grandly," she said thankfully, and he shall have his re ward. Of coarse any man wio would treat old beggar like that is worthy of trust, But what to dowith this money? The possession of it makes mea robber. I mustieturn it, and with it a confession of my plot to test his sincerity. What a dilemma'! Humiliating because'I now see that I had only planned for anun fovorable aenouement.

WeH, justice shall be done though the heavens falL My fear that he whom I have learned to love with all my heart will turn away tfrbm me in anger because oi this nnmaidenly proceeding. Well, it is too late HOW to but -Wess me what, an experience." Mra. IBevere's rooms were-hrilliantb lighted and Grace was flitting around and putting the finishing touches to the exquisitetf arranged bouquets that filled the rooms with summer fragrance. With her beggar's garments, she had laid aside ail her anxiety, and now with her rare beauty and vitality she was the life of the house, pulsing iron room to roam, her lovely presence even when not seen. Mrs.

Devere was in an alcove that was curtained off from the drawing-room. The flowers she hac rejected in the morning were beside hei in a dainty vase, and as she locket upon them feer soul was thrilled as though by a presence of unseen, bu' felt. From whence comes this spiritual presence of individuals, when they themselves -are far away, and yet are able to manifest themselves to the consciousness of otheri with almost omnipresent power? Ah it is only to rare, sensitive souls that the matter clear and Bui Mrs. Devere recognized the blessec presence and it seemed to give hej peace. Within her soul was the hallowec calm that comes from a chastened and contrite spirit.

The moonbeams fell softly upon her upturned face, the onen prayer book in her lap, and into the tender eyes that had a far away look as though faith had lifted the curtain from the future and she caught a glimpse of the unseen and the eternal. Then she hears voices in the other room and she parts the curtain to see her cousin, blushing and tearful, in the arms of her beloved, who chides her for her unbelief as he places a gleaming circletnpon her finger. She retires again to her hiding place and falls to musing again of one whom she hopes to meet heaven if not on earth. But the curtair. parts again, from'without this time, ane a tall form comes through and she looks up into a pair of luminous eyjes that well remembers.

The face is roundec into health and manly beauty; but the eyes! how they tell the hopes and the secrets that lie back of them; of thelong- ing for the womanly presence that alone would make life desiwble, the resolution to find her at all hazards, the unutterable joy of the meeting. With outstretchec hands they, met, their lips parted anc from both came the soul ful'words last," and then the curtain fell again. Shocked the Horses.

Moen, of this city, large sums of money at different times, amounting, according to abme statements, in the aggregate to-some S300.000. What the consideration for this was proved the mystery in the affair, as neither "Doc" Wilson nor Mr. Moen would tell, tie latter stoutly maintaining that his dealings with Wilson, being of a legitimate business character, it was none of the business of the newspapers to pry into the matter. To-day, however," Mr. Moen has.

been induced to disclose the secret to a friend, from whom the following facts were procured: "Doc" Wilson had a certain' invention, in the success of which Mr. Moen had great confidence, and' for an interest in it he agreed to pay a certain sum. That sum. has been paid in full and Doc Wilson has no further claim upon Phillip-L. Moeny his heirs or assigns.

The amount paid, however, has been exaggerated in the newspapers reports.
