Dear Annie : When beside your father's

of the firm of which ho and I wero partners
would be best sustained by our union.
I wrote to you notifying you of rr.v readi

nnd requesting you to bo ready to return
with me on Saturday as my wife. You say
to me that I must not come. There is but
one explanation in this refusal, aud that is
that you have seen some cue that pleases
you better thin your humble servant. It is 1

Houseless and starving
No rest for the bead ;

Battling with hunger,
Wearisome sad,
From morn until eve
Scarce "a bite" to be bad ;
The outlook all gloom,
Trudging through snow,
In misery creeping,
Onward they go,
Cold cold nothing to eat ;
Wretched and hungry,
Wand'ring the street.
Battling with banger,
Battling for bread,
Battling for bare life,
Wishing life sped !
Hearts sadly aching,
Hard in their pain,
Groveling in gutter,

I breathed moic freely after it was over.
It was a temptation resisted but. I felt
belter after having ilone it. As I was as
. soiling the lettcis pieparaloiy to putting
Ihe.-n in tho mail bag for Xew Yoi k, one
lei cr turned and sent a j.?alous shock thro'
1 me tint made my hcai t throb and my brain
swim with a sudden dizziness. I might.
l:avo expected to havo seen it there, but
not tiio less did it affect mo when I did see
it "Joseph Xouis, India Dock, New
Y ork" that was the address and I knew
it wis his. I had a dear little, nolc in the
same hand A titii.g next to my heart then
a few graceful words thanking mo for a
bonk I had sent her a little note that I
bad read over countless times, and kissed
il often, woniieiiug whether it would dis
pleasn ber to know how totully I cherished
il. I tin list the hateful letter out of my
siMht, and leaned my head on the tabic,
lived over again tho hopes, the fears, tho
wictcbedncssof the last twenty-four hours.
Tho day before, while distributing tho
mail tii alter, I c.une across a letter address
ed to myself, and on opening it, I learned
that iLiough the generosity of some distant
lelative, whose name I bore, I had been '
left in California en inhei itance of 2O,n00. '
V'h,U a change a few strokes of a pen had
made transforming Karl Hcrgman, post
wont on with my evening's work.
With that woik I wont on mechanically,
but my thoughts wero not agrcealy em
ployed. That then was tho answer to tho
: missive which sho had received. But it
should bo long befoie bo would get it get
i'. too lato poihaps f'r nn explication ; for
misunderstandings between lovcis bad of
ten arisen from a slighter causa than tho
non arrival of an expected letter. I pic
tured him waiting and longing for the lct-
ter that would not come, and she, poorgiil,
bow her tender heart would be tortured by
bis imagined neglect, when no auswer
would be foi thcoming. She, I knew,
would suffer in silence, and I fondly hoped
that ho would do the same. So I locked
tho mail and waited for the messenger to
carry it to the station. The express would
pass in an hour and a half.
And then a struggle began in my boart.
This mis-stampd letter seemed to look re
proachfully at me from the box wheie I bad
thrown it, and seemed to whisper to tno
that one little act of mine could send it un
impeded on its mission.
