Any other yoiing man of his position would be enraptured st tho idea of marrying an heiress." Air. Oakburn's only reply was a dissatis fied grunt : the sharp frosty air and a lung day's tramp had given him an ap petite, and all disagreeables with lvgnrd to his son were immediately forgotten at the sight of a tempting little roat loin of poik which was now displayed to his view. If there was anything Air. O al burn enjoyed in this world it was a good dinner, aiid providing one to his tasle was the only sure way of putting him In to an amiab'le temper 011 his riiturn from business. lie had been a struggling man all his life, and his father hmfbeen before hi 'ii; hut by keeping tip a tolerably "grand" appearance lie I mil managed to move 111 high class society, ami had trusted to liiu son hi one, handsome, much loved 011 to make a good match by marrying 1 daughter 01 wi ailliv parents. 111 iaei this one idea had become the dieam ot his life, and had slrengtlicncd,moreover, in its growth when he saw how great a favoiito Harold was with the fair oe not for his looks alone, hut for his pleas ing, courteous and gentle bearing. I.ut Harold of late hail been aii.-eiil-. . . . 1 . 1 . . 1 ing lillilselt mini me paternal rooi inure than was altogether pleasing, especially is Laura Uewetson and her mother hail become freiiuent visitors thenyunl occa sionally spent one evening 111 the week ei'joying a little music, or a game of irtK 111 Hie waKiiurns drawing room. .Miss Uewetson was not altogether prct- tv, but she was an heiress ; indeed, her father had settled a loitmie upon her, ol which she was to become the possessi on her marriage dav : and this with Air. Hid .Mrs. Oakburii was everything, nho must ho none other than their sons wile. lint Harold, at present had shown very lie lnclllilllioii to ennloilii to llieir wishes 1 and if wo follow bun, 011 tins ill-iinporlant evening on which our slory opens, we snail no oeuer nine 10 juugi' tor ourselves wneiner or not mere was mv chance of their ever being realized. lie had been introduced, some few week back, to a young neliess the leadin; star of the sea-on who was 110 less re nowncd for her personal charms than for the talent she displayed 111 her proles sion. She had not been very long he- fore the public, not yet having comple ted her I'.lth year. cry little was known of her by any of the company, evcent that she lived with her invalid mother, whom she entirely supported. Already Harold had declared tho pas sion he had conceived for her, and she had not only refused to become his wife, but kept herself aloof from him as much as possible, until the poor young iciiow was unveil uign 10 ucsii iieiuni. And vet she did not seem totally in different to him. Her color heightened at his approach, nnd her lips parted in the sweetest smile ; but there was a sail half-timid air about her, for which ho could never account. The only member of tho company lie ever found her conversing with, or upon wiioni she appeared to bestow any at teiitioii, was (he ugly old prompter, Karl Kirklaud, who had tilled that ollice lor years at the theatre where Alildred (Jars ton had made her debul. lint this even ing, 011 which wo have followed Harold thither, the old prompter was ill ; am Mildred, strange to say, was m a most gracious mood, as she had been once he- lorn wliuii'lie was absent. "Aro you hero again to night 1" she said, giving Harold her hand. "How tad you look 1 Why do you como if tho sight oi mo only distresses you f 'Jleeauso I hopo in time to win your love, swuti inured, no replied, still re taming iter iiatui. She was playing tho part of Lady Tva 7.1c, sml Harold hud never Been her look mory cttpuvnung before. The eyes that were raised to his faco said nioro than her lips, it would seem, dared tiller and she trembled slightly ih she said : ".Mr. Oakburii, IwUh for my sake you wouui go away and never see me any inoic." "And why do yon wish so cruel a thing, dear .Mildred" lit. asked her, "lleeausc because I never can be your wife," she replied, fiilteriiigly, her eyes droojiiug "I should be saying what is uuiiiio ii i even ii illicit inai you were of total indifference, to me. I regard you with the sineerest and warmest friend ship hut for nioro than that thero is a barrier hot ween us which never can ho destroyed." "Oh, do not tell me thatl" burst forth Harold, agitatedly. "If you love me, as 1 aui presumptuous chough to believe you do, why should wc not" both wait and ho)o 1" She shook her head and tried to break away from him. ''It is impossible, Mr. Oakburii! ultcr ly impossible!" she exclaimed. "Well, ono word inoic," said Harold, cpiickly. "Why is it that you have granted mo even this brief interview to night, when on former occasions you have scarcely addressed n word to me ?" The blood rtishedlike a torrent lo her face, and she tuintd away from him. "Oh, I don't know. I "cannot tell you now, .Mr. Oakburii," she answered. "(Jood-night. You must let mo go, really." "Very well, (lood-night. I may come and see you again, I suppose'" "As yon please, of course," she said, not very graciously, as she swept past him in her brocade dress, just i.s the call boy shouted her name. Harold ipiitted the green room, glanced at her fur a moment as she slood placid ly awaiting her cue, then left the theatre and walked home in the falling snow. .Milled (ialron was decidedly a mystery, and as such even Harold Oakburii no a began to regard her. lie was not ipiile pleased with himself lnr caring lor her ro much, or witu her for her apparent coldness and indiffer ence, and angry feelings rankled with in him for more than a week against the woman he loved. He dined at homo every night during that lime, re e.-lablislieil li'iuself in his parents' good graces, and even showed mere than ordinary attention lo Laura llewelson. 15ut only for a week then he hun gered for the sight of Mildred longed to see her again, it only lroui a distance, and lo hear her voice, even though she might not grant him a word. lie reached the theatre one evening, company with a friend, and met old Karl Kirklaud, the prompter, in the doorway. If there was a creature Harold Oak- burn detested in this woild it was the aforesaid individual, who had more than once interrupted him while conversin with Mildred in what seemed to him a mot insolent nnd interfering manner He was a wretched-looking, wizen faced man, with a limping gait and sharp piercing eyes. "Oh, its you, is it ( he said, survey ing Harold irom head to tool, u ell I don't think Miss Oarstou will see voit to-night. Harold colored angiily. "Wl.at bushiest i.s it of yours!" le isktd, hotlv. "Did Miss (iarston send you to deliver the message!" Well, not exactly,'' said old Karl, hesitating and looking at Haiold as though he might have said a great deal nioiv'thanhe choose "15ut still 1 I " rftand back, then, and let us pass," he interrupted him. indignantly. "What ight have you to deliver messages iruui Miss (iaiston without leave !' and liush- roughiy by the old prompter, liar- old led his companion away to the green room. Old Kail stood chuckling and rub bing his withered palms together, and then went off,grumblingto himself some inaudible words, among which Mildred s name was tho only one intelligible. She was in her usual reserved and peni-ivc mood acknowledged the intro duction lo Harold's friend with perfect grace, hut showed uo inclination to cu ter into conversation with either. The hitler, who had come to witness the pcrfoi mance, left them shortly after waul to take his seat in tho stalls s and thus, fur a few moments, Mildred ind her lover were once mure alone. Tho aiinovance old Karl had caused him by his iniperlineiiee was for the luno lorgolten in the pleasure he leitai neing igain with Mildred, who, however. showed no sign of pleasure, and remain ed cold and silent beside him. "Am you offended willinio for cum ing again, Aiunredr no asked ncr at. length. l!y no means. Il is your own affair eiilirelv.Mr. Oakburn," she answered him A'ilhoul lilting her eves. What is the matter, then, with vou ! to-night!" he asked again. Nothing more than usual.' "Won't you favor me with your con fidence!" 1 larohl impfucd. "You told me, last time I saw you, that you re garded mo as a ft lend. Oivo me proof it, then loll mo what this sorrow is.Mil drcd, and I will do my utmost to adviso and help you." A sickly siiiilo passed over her lovely features, and she looked timidly around as if to assure herself that they were alone. Suddenly as she turned and seized Harold's baud, while sho spoke in a hoarse whisper. You love me. You have asked mo more than once lo be your wite, and 1 havo told vou how impossible it is. Listen, then, and I will tell you more what this hairier is that exists between us.

"I thought I'd pay him out for the airs he's shown me." Sho pnsed him without a word or glance, but he never knew how deeply she had been wounded, or how deaily sho loved the man she had dismisseil from her that night perhaps forever. She went through the pari as Lady Teazle, and acted it to perleetioti ; then went homo lo her invalid mother, laden with trophies of her evening's triumph, and strove her utmost lo be cheerful and happy,so that Mrs. Oarstou might never suspect she was otherwise. Months pased, but she saw no mora of Harold Oakburn, either among the audience or in thegreeii-rooin.and sl.o was still the name sad, pensive looking girl she had ever been, holding herself aloof from those around her, and bravely, cheerfully earning her mother's bread. Mill, ere the spring had give place to summer, that mother died, and, for a lime, Mildred, well-nigh crushed by the blow, was loo ill to appear atthe thealie. Old Karl Kirklaud came and went like a ghost i.i tho-e days, nnd in yor stayed a moment longer than his duties com pelled him. Mildred grew better a', last, and reap peared in some minor part, her health not being snllieienlly strong In undergo any great exertion. Hut she was sadder and more silent than ever, they all thought the sweet and trauicut smile had wholly vanished, and she seemed to grow paler and thinner with each sin (ding day. One night, toward tin' end ol the per furuiaiice.Karl Kirklaud wis standing in his aeciist uineil place, when, Miihh'nly.Mil dred saw him fall. Iiiiiiieili.'itely she has tened to his side,wilh several olhers,and bore hint into the gieen-room. He was speechless. A tit of apoplexy had seized him, and he died that night. And now the time had come for Mil dred to publish her secret, to the world, and in thu presence of the whole com pany on the following day she told them all. I low, nearly threo years ago, she had met Karl Kirklaud. formerly a friend of her father's (once an actor), and from whom she had gathered fragments of his history. That ho had likewise been an actor of uo small reputation, and. having lived a miserly life, had hoarded a con siderable foitunc for the last livo-and-tweiity years, and when too infirm and weak," from ill-health rather than age, to j day any longer, yet loving the stage too well to leave it. he took tho post of prompter, which he had maintained ever since. She told them that he had not only brought her forward in the theatri cal world, but fell in lovo with her and had the audacity lo offer her his hand and heart. How, at first, she coldly and haughtily lcl'iisd him, jnnd then, never dreaming that sho herselt might some day ascLmd the ladder of fame, and see ing her poor, suffering mother, wanting at tiiues.eveii the common necessaries of life, she consented to wed the repulsivo looking man. on condition lliat.it might be kept a secret theatre.

That they had not always lived together, lor fear of arousing suspicion, and she could not hear tho"" world tokrowlhat sho had married an old, ugly, shriveled man for the sake of his gold. She did not speak of her love for Ilari.hl Oakburn but she never said one worddcsparagingly of him who had been her husband. He had been kind to her in his own pe culiar way, and'sho had never given him cause for" jealousy: he had loved her and trusted her, and tried, poor, old man, to make her happy. This was the whole of her young life's history.told not without tears; but a few words in addition aro yet rtipiiied for the benefit of tho reader. When old Karl discovered that Har old Oakburn was in love with his young wife, feelings of jealousy were naturally paramount; but when he found how cold ly she received liis addresses, and anx ious to be revenged for his haughty and imperious behavior toward him who was her lawful husband, he persuaded Mil- ill red to reveal to him her secret, which he did as much to free lieiself from his ii 1 1 fill importunities as to comply with her husband's wishes. When the will .vas read they found that he had left everything to his wife, and Mildred (iarston never went brick lo the stage again; but she met Harold Oakburn a few months later, and sitbso (iiiently became his wife.

Theie wasn't a house in sight when we first moved there, my wife and li and now we have not many neighbors, but those we havo arc good ones. One day. about ten years ago, I went away from home to sell soinccaltlc line creatures as I ever saw. I wrts to buy some groeoiies and dry goods befora 1 came back, and nbovo all, a doll for our youngest Dolly she had never hail shop doll of her own, only the rag babies her mother had made her. Dolly could talk ol nothing else, nnd wenl down to tho gate to call after me t "buy a big one." Nobody but a parent can under stand how my mind was on the toy, and how when tho calllo were sold, the lirt thing I hurried olf to buy was Dolly's doll! I fo'uud a large one, with eyes that would open and shut when you pulled a wire, and had it wrapped up in paper and tucked under my arm. while I had the parcels of calicoes nnd delaines, anil tea unit Migarput up. It might have been more prudent to slav until morning; but I felt anxious to get fiack, and eager to hear Dolly's prattle about the doll she was so anxiously expecting. I was mounted on a steady going old horse of mine, and pretty well loaded. Xight set in before I. was a mile from town, and settled down as dark as pitch while I was in the wildest bit of road I knew of. 1 could have felt my way through I remember it so well and it was almost that, when the storm that had been brewing broke, and the lain pelted in torrents five miles or maybe six from home. loo. I rode as fast as I could; but suddenly I heard a little cry, like a child's cry. I slopped short j.nd listened: I hearil it again. I called and il answered me. 1 couldn't see anything. All was as dark as pitch. I got down :ind fell about in thegrass; called again, nnd again I was answered. Then 1 be gan to wonder. I'm not timid; but I was known tube a druver, and to have money about, me. I thought it might be a trap to catch me, and then rob and murder me. f am not superstitious not very but how could a real child be out on the prairie in such a night, at such an hour? It might be more than human. 1 he bit of coward that hides itelf in most men showed itself in inetheii, and I was half inclined to run away; but once more I heard that piteous cry, and I said: ''If any man's child is hereabouts, Anthony Hunt is not the man to let it lie here to die." I searched again. At last I bethought mo of a hollow under the hill, and groped that way. Sure enough, I found a little soaked dripping thing that moaned and sobbed as I 'took it in my arms. I called my horse and it came to mc, and I mounted and tucked the little soaked thing under mv coat as well as I could, promising lo take it home to mammy It seemed tired to death, and pretty soon cried itself lo sleep against my bo"- som. It had slept there over an hour when I saw my own windows. I hero were lights in iheni, and I supposed mv wife had lit them fur mv Mike; but when I got to tho door yard I saw .uniethin was the matter, and stood still with dead fear of heart two minutes befoie I could lift the latch. At last I did it and saw the room full of neighbors, and my wife amid them weeping. When shesaw me she hid her face. "Oh, don't tell him," she said, "it will kill hint.' ... "What is it, neighbors'!" I cried And ono said, "Nothing now, I hope. hals that in vour arnw "A poor hwl child" said I.
