out to walk together in the moon
light with their rubbers on. Her
father and mother approved, and
everything went on as smoothly and
sweetly asStewart's syrup.
His prospects were good, and she
was of a suitable age to know her
own mind. It was commonly re
ported that they were engaged. It
is never safe to believe reports. They
were not engaged. though they both
adored the mime things. However,
if they were not engaged, there was
every prospect that they would be,
if nothing happened. Why not?
lie was to be a partner soon, and
could support tier properly. Some
thing did happen. The firm wound
up, as we have seen.
Under these unhappy circumstan
ces, what ought he to do? He could
not even think. He was absolutely
without means of support, and the
engagement should be broken off.
Engagement! They were not en
gaged. Yes, they were. Had she
not accepted flowers from him; had
she not gone to the Sunday school
concert with him: had they not "sat
up" ever so late after everybody had
gone to bed, at least a dozen times?
Had not her mother invited him to
tea, and had not her•father taken off
his hat to him in the street? He was
the recognized suitor for the daugh- :
ter's hand, and something ought to
he done about it.
Under his present circumstances,
he ought not to be engaged to her—
he was not: and yet It was a delicate
question. To solve it was a sad trial
to him. He slept upon it, and awoke
the next day to find that the trial
had made a man of him. Trials al
ways buin away the cheap surface,
and bring out the gold within.
He had not told his love. They
were not engaged. Still, he had
shown her great attentions, and his
advances had been received cordially.
Under his present circumstances,
chivalry and honor forbade further
advance. He must cease to visit
her. He must leave her free—open
to more advantageous offers. He
must leave her forever and forget
her.

No; ho could not do that. He
could go out west and begin life
anew; but forget her. Forget her!
No ! He could' not—could not. And
here he made a discovery. He lov
ed her. With all her apparent shal
lowness she was a splendid girl at
heart, and he loved her, and must
leave her. And how could he ex
plain or tell her how it was with
him ?
How could he ask her to wait—
wait for him—perhaps for years.
Wait while he searched for a clerk
ship, that, when obtained would not
support them both. Her father was
a man of business, and possessed of
some wealth. What would he say
to such folly.
Surprised at the sudden strength
of character his trouble had develop
ed, he took a manly stand r and re
solved he would call on her, bid her
farewell, and leave her with his love
unsaid. He would suffer alone.
Perhaps time could cure the smart.
People said it would, though he did
not believe it then. Come what
might, he would stand no longer in
a false position. He would see her at
once.
Not without a furtive tear or two.
he arrayed himself in his best and
went out in search of breakfast. How
ill seeming his present wardrobe and
his poverty. He must leave his
costly lodging place at once. He
would begin to economize immedi
ately by buying a cheap breakfast at
some restaurant. It was a sad-meal;
the wretched food and dismal Saloon
wearied him, and somehow the
bread was salt. He crept into a dark
corner and rumpled his damp nap
kin In a vain effort to be cheerful.
Then he went out at the strange
hour of ten in the morning to fled
her home. The streets were full of
people hurrylogon and on to their
business or pleasure. For him there
was neither. He had never been in
the streets at that hoar, and they
seemed strange and foreign. Her

"Had not proposed—you mean."
"Yes and fora most excellent rea
son. His business prospects did not

smiling and cheerful, still he thought
it best to wait till certain events of a
financial nature took place."
"Couldn't support her ? Very
proper in him to wait."
Ile winced under this, and with an
effort continued the story.
"He expected a promotion, and
hoped that when it came it should
be in a position to marry."
"how very nice!" And she scull
cd_in a peculiar way that puzzled
him.
With some hesitation he went on.
"Well, just as everything seemed
at its best, It—it—everything broke
down."
"How sad! I don't like the story.
Tell me something that's pretty and
nice."
This was the most cruel blow of
all. He at once froze up. She was
a shallow, heartless thing, unworthy
of his love, and he fell to thinking
how he had been deceived.
She sat the while in calm silence,
toying with her feather duster, and
inwardly harnessed by a storm of
conflicting emotions. Love, doubt,
sorrow, and a great happiness strug
gled for expression. She glanced
slyly at him. Ho seemed crushed
by a great sorrow. His fingers w ere
nervous, and the lids shading 'his
eyes moved quickly, as if to keep
something hack,
A dreadful pain shot through her
heart, and she pressed her hand on
her breast to deaden it.
In a constrained voice she said:
"Is that all?"'
He started abruptly and said:
"Yes—no.' '
"If no, tell me more."
He brightened up and said: "There
is no more. It is a story about a
friend of mine, and I want to know
what you think he ought to do. He
cannot propose, because it is not
chivalrous to ask her to wait. And
yet he ought not to leave her with
out an explanation. An explana
tion would be an avowal—a propos
al. Now what should he do?
With feminine perversity, she
avoided the question by asking an
other.
"Does she love him?"
"I do not know."
With a sudden impulse, she said
"Has be told her?"
He was quite disconcerted by the
bold thrust, and was silent. She
held her hand over her mouth to
keep her face smooth. Tears and a
great joy struggled to reach the sur
face.
"How can I tell—yet ----"
Here he looked her full in the face.
Their eyes met, and he said slowly:
"I think he has."
She rose abrubtly, and began to
dust the hooks on the table. The
fight in her heart waxed hot. Love
and maidenly reserve struggled for
the mastery. He, with a curious
blindness. mistook it all, and think
ing her the most mercenary and
heartless girl he had ever met, rose,
took his hat, and said he must go.
She turned upon him quickly.
"Go I Go where?"
"Excuse me. Did you not know
that I Intended to goVest ?"
"No. How should I ? Do you
return soon ?"
"No. Perhaps not for years."
"Indeed. Oh S I think I under

employeri had failed. A hard- ex
perience for them. I .seppose yuo

• She did not know how she said it,
for her heart seemed quite dead
Within her.
He stiffly held out his hand as if
to.bid her a formal good-by. She
took it timidly, and said :
"Is it good morning or good-by?"
He hesitated.
"It is good—"
Before he could finish, she said,

bes way to educate young girls.
Row they shall be best fitted to fill
the various stations - to which' the fu
tare may call them, is, or ought to
be, the query in every mother's
mind. In our country, all are sub
ject to reverses id their social position,
as well as in political life, and the
daughter of the wealthy merchant of
to-day is very liable, is a few years,
to be the hard-working wife of a pour
man.
Mr. Stanley was a wealthy gentle
man, who had, by. his own economy
and enterprise, reached a position
that rendered him independent.
His wife was a person of good prac-,
tical sense, and had sufficient decis
ion of character to enable her, when
she knew the right Way_, to pursue it,
without fear of the•world's approval
or censure. She was trained in a
farmhouse, and understood ail the
departments of housewifery, and her
husband often remarked that his
prosperity was owing as much to his
wife's management as to his own
shrewd calculations. They had a
large family of children, who were
trained as well as Mrs. Stanley could
do it under,existing circumstances.
Three of these children were daugh
ters, the eldest of whom was four
teen years of age, a very intelligent
young lady, with a large share of
personal beauty in both form and
feature.
Mr. Whitcomb and his family were
next-door neighbors to Mr. Stanley,
and of course In a country village,
they often exchanged calls and visits.
Mrs. Whitcomb was not a happy wo
man; her husband did not get along
well. Ile was always in debt, and
straightened; but his wife was am
bitious,lind sometimes heavy storms
broke over their domestic life, which
certainly did not have a desirable
etTectin clearing the atmosphere.
It was early
,in June, one Sunny
afternoon,tthat Mrs. Whitcomb, as
was quite • her custom , dropped in

"Not going to school! lam aston

"Why so? There are a great many
things necessary for girls to learn be
skies book education."
"But we have such a splendid
school this summer, and all the girls
attend-. Besides, there are the les
sons in drawing, painting and
French! Why! Abbie would not
stay at home any way; money would
not hire her to be out a single day.
It is a great chance for girls."
"I should be sorry to have Ella set
up her will in opposition to her
mother; but she thinks I know what
is best for her."
"But don't She feel dreadful not to
go to school?"
"On the contrary, she is happy
about it, and is anticipating much
pleasure in the domestic department.
I have promised to Instruct her in
the science of cooking this summer.
"Bless me! Set a girl only four
teen years old to cooking! What
does Ella say to that? I should
think she would think it rather hard
for one so young."
"Why, Mrs. Whitcomb, when I
was thirteen years of age. I did all
the work in my father's family four
weeks, and took care of my sick
mother too, and it did not hurt me,
but was better than a whole term at
school, to give me selfreliance, and
exercise my judgment."
"But the times are altered now;
nobody thinks of making the daugh
ters do housework now-a-days.
Time enough for girls to work when
they are obliged to do it."
"I know no reason why It is not as I
necessary for girls to understand
work now as when we were young.
True, many kinds of work are not
neeeful which were a necessity then;
‘ but housework is always in demand,
and I should feel as if I were very
neglectful if I did not myself instruct
my daughters in that science. Be
sides, I consider it my privilege, as
well as duty."
"Who ever heard 'such a thing!
You will dismiss your help next, and
you and Ella do all the work of your
largo family, besides the care of the

"Exactly what we have done, Mrs.
Whitcomb. since the Ist of May, and
we find it delightful to be so inde
pendant—we enjoy it exceedingly."
"Why, I did not know your girl
was gone. The day I visited here, I
remember I did not see her, but sup
posed she was engaged in the kitch
en. You did not leave the parlor to
get tea?"
"No, Ella prepared tea. She made
the cake and biscuits that you prais
ed so highly."
"Goodness! My Abble never set
the table alone in her life! But Ella
must have a natural genius for such
employments. Girls are so different!
Now, Abble is all for books. Her
father says she ought to learn to
work, but I cannot be troubled with
her around in the way."
"I think it a positive duty to edu
cate children in such a manner that
they can fill any station of life to
which they may be called; and a
good knowledge of housewifery nev
er comes amiss to a lady, be she rich
or poor."
"Well, I hope my Abbie will nev
er be obliged to be such a kitchen
drudge as I have always been!"
"I never Imagined, Mrs. W bit
comb that you had a hard lot in life.
You never had but two children;
your health is excellent; you always
have hired two in your kitchen; dud
your husbands business calls him
from home a large share of the time."
i•Do you think I have so easy a
time? Why, where are your eyes?
That Is just like Mr. Whitcomb—he
never thinks I have anything to do!
I do not believe there Is a woman in
town who works harder than I do.
It Is so much work to keep up a
proper style, and one may as well be
out of the world as out of the fashion!

"I cannot spend my time to fuss to

"But if they never learn, how' will'
they manage?"
"Oh; I don't know. They must,

not have to work. Did I tell you
that Mr. Whitcoinb bad hired a pi

afford to buy one, and I am determ
ined she shall learn music. No one
thinks of educating a girl now-a-days
without the piano. Ella has such a
splendid voice—you will have her
learn, of course."
"Mr. Stanley and myself have dis
cussed the question, and we have not
yet determined. Ydo not think it
the mast important branch of educa
tion. It renders home pleasant, and
we are all very fond of music; but it
requires a great deal of time to oe
come a thorough musician as well as
expense. I should wish Ella to be

she engaged."
"I never expect Addie to do more
than learn a few songs and waltzes,
just to be able to say she can play. I
do not see the need of anything more.
She will never teach music of course.
I think in a year or so she will be
able to learn enough to show off in
company."
" Are you not fond of music at

"I do not ore anything for it.

Ella's summons to tea inteiitiged
the conversation. Mrs. Whitcomb
was in ecstacies over the nice cus
tards and tea cakes made by Ella's
deft little fingers, and she could not
but notice the order and harmony of
her neighbor's household arrange
ments; but it produced no impres
sion sufficiently abiding to effect any
reformation in her own domain, and
the years glided by till Abbie Whit
comb, at the age of seventeen, left
school, as her mother said, having
finished her education. Of busing
she was perfectly ignorant—could
not even set her room to rights, or
darn a stocking. She could play
waltzes and polkas, speak French—
though with a very questionable
pronunciation— and dress beautifully.
Her mother grumbled because she
would give her no assistance, and
Mr. Whitcomb sighed over her ex
travagance; but Abbie said it was
plenty of time for her to work when
she wits obliged to. Finally she
eloped with an employee of a Boston
firm who had occasionally spent a
few days in the village selling goods.
Every arrangement was made in
style, and Mrs. Whitcomb had the
satisfaction of knowing that if she
was nearly heartbroken, it was done
in the latest fashion. Two years la
ter, the poor eirt returned to her
father's house a deserted wife, with
a worse than fatherless babe in her
arms, to be an additional burden to
the sorely tried parents. Mr. Whit
comb told his daughter she was wel
come to his home, both she and the
little one; "but Abbie, the time has

It was the Carnival season in Paris;

who had won is way to distinction
with his own sabre, found himself at
the masked ball in the French Opera
House. Better adapted in his tastes
to the field than the parlor, he flirted
but little with the gay figures that
covered the fluor, and joined but sel
dom in the giddy. waltz. But at last,
while standing thoughtfully, and re
garding the assembled throng with a
vacant eye, his attention was sudden
ly aroused by the appearance of a
person in a white satin domino, the
universal eligancy of whose figure.

thather face and mind must be equal
to her person in grace and loveliness.
Though in so mixed '.an assembly,
still there was a dignity and reserve
in the manner of the white domino
that rather repulsed the idea of a fa
miliar address, and it was some time
before the young soldier found cour
age to speak to her.
Some alarm being given, there was
a violent rush of the throng' toward

capitals, about the time that Napo

duchess Maria,Lonisa. 'The young
colonel is handsome, manly, and al

course, becomes at once a great fa
vorite at court, every effort being
made by the women to captivate
him, but in vain; he is constant and
true to his vow.
But his heart Is not made of stone.
The very fact that he had entertained
such tender feelings for the white
domino, had doubtless made him
more susceptible than before.
At last he met the young Baroness

she returned his affection, still be had
given his word, and it was sacred.
The satin domino is no longer the
ideal his heart, but assumes the

her hand lightly upon his arm.

asked the amazed soldier.
"Come, follow, me. and you shall
see that it is a reality," continued
the mask pleasantly.
"I will.
"Have you. been faithful to your

retired into a saloon. •

"Inded!"
"It is too true, lady, that I have

"I will be frank with you, and you

"Most religiously."
"It is the Baroness Von Waldroff,"
he said, with a sigh.
"And you really love her?"

young soldier, sadly.
"Nevertheless, I must hold you to
