TLcro r-cver had been a time aprarently
vhi-n In- had not been "old'' Brent. Hut
in point of fact, be was not no old even
Eoir. Many it man beyond h'tu in years
still 1-oru an appearance of middle-aged
Kut Caspar Brent had always abunned
that contact with men aud life which cou
ducet to h- alt hf til vior.
A reel tts nud scholar, a kindly, shy, absent-minded
man lie bad ever l:een, and
until recently, at least, cne would so hire
a id ever would remain.
I! in hli bt lieat TiKoreand his mild bine
eyes ia the cU-ar-ctit, clean-shaven face
were f.tniili.-ir to all the children In the
village, who liked him for t he sundry
"mail "tips" l.e wa- wont to bestow up:n
them, nnd w..ose mothers wo: Id observe
that, lx-i ;fj t-tich a f;ool man and so fc nd
of children, it was a pity old B re lit bad
never married.
At these remarks Mrs. Daly, his house
keeper, would screw up her nuao in con
tempt. "It's just him that's thinkin' of mar
r.in"! And who's be to marry? Some
ineddliu' widow that would be for rulin'
hin nroti'.id nt his time of life? Or some
hihty-tijihty KirUthat 'ud Jead him a
dance, n-racketin' him about. I gue-.s
not!'-
Well," remarked one of Mrs. Daly's
cronies one day, he's Roin' to Letou's
pu tty often, and there's the niece there
now, the one they call by that outlandish
n anie Vcuatia Vinatiou or boaie
thi '." -
And true it was that Cnpar Brent
w.is K'lirg to Ietson's Tt-ry often cf late;
a;:d also true, though be himself, poor
uu.n.li.ul I t-t-a a loi4 time in litnli:i it
or.t , t tiat w hat be went for was a MKhtof
Veucti:k Lctson's sweet, fiower-'ike youuy
face and her p- mive violet eyej.
When he did make the licovery the
experienca tim an extraordin.-fry one to
Brent. And that whirh made it extraor
dinary was that -it was the first of its
kiid.
In tht befria In? he felt as though it
v ere a moat a sacnlt v'e for him to be po
i::. there with this unacknowlrdeil
f-lin f r theyounr girl in bis heart.
Put Vi-neti bad come to count upon
l i-i visits find bis gentle kindness made a
littlo MHi.-l.n.e for Lir, poor ihild!
F irtho Ietaoas, though worthy er.ousa
enplo in their way, were ierhaps a little
I..ir.l n tins youuj da.ixhter of a brother
who h.i.l nl ways len iuiprovidt-af and un
lu ky, nti.l bad divd nt l.t, leaving notb
iv. In-Kind bim but this iale-fa.ed slip of
a gitl for theni to care for.
And so for months Caspar Brent bail
walked over to the J-eMn place almost
every tlay, eometimes w ith a book fr tbe
t;;ri, s i.n-rinies with a liltle buiich cf
i.wi-1-r-.-tin-liin.r flowers.
Aii'l si:.' would generally b- wnitinj for
hi r.i wit h a ;!ail smile of welcome oa her
lir.s, whi h ret aid him for everything. In
tlio self-a!uei'ttion cf bis Loneat, reverent
h art, t i.per Brent w uu'J have let:u cun
tent to hold this place of an old, iri d,
r.n I kind friend towards the younc; K'tl
to tl cend of the chapter, and doubtless
weal l have done, bad be not, on uouilu
upon her ud.leuly one day, found her la
tears.
Ycnetla had tried to conceal her emo
ti'.n iti. kly, but It was too late, and at
ti;I.i. of Caspar Brent's kind o,uetioninjj
ojes hlie bad broken down aaiu, and
roMie.l out the story of her trials.
It w i.s iiothinic verv definite perhaps
bt t Pre:." knew that this tlelicate young
p'.iu.t wan (limtii; away for the lack fi(.-uii-sl.,:i-5
ji.id a fo.-terim: care. Audit seemed
iriviiii-d: i! le, ashehad no other friends
ce-.-;.. i:i 'iie way.
At the thought of this one way Caspar
Brent's heart beat quickly. lie .cast a
glance at the young creature who sat be
side luiii, with her hands clasped list
lessly in her lap and the eyes seeming to
look out into a joyless future, and quite
tii.ld.-uly he spoke.
Ila could give her a comfortable home,
and care, and h, how much love! at
leat.
When, a conple of hours later.he walked
homewards towards the pretty house
whieli Mrs. Daly's care kept la a state of
order which could only 1? adequately de
scii'jed by her own term of "apple-pie, "
it seemed to Caspar Brent as though all
the wo: Id were changed.
Surely the i-ky was very blue that day;
ho never remembered to have Keen it sc
tili.e, nad the sunshine was certainly un
usually brilliant, aud what happy faces
peoiilo bad as they passed him!
Wi.cu ho got Lome Mrs. Daly was wait
iu -T for I; im, in a clean cap. He passed in
ui'-l t'iea looking into the broad expanse
of her har.l. honest countenance with a
.mile that lit up all his mild thin feature.--,
he s lid:
"You must congratulate me, Mrs. Daly.
You've been faithful to my service many
il cars, ami you'll like to know, I'm sure.
Miss I.etson is going to my wife."
At the titiir? Mrs. Daly found nothingto
;ny but "Good Heavens!" which exclama
ti :i slivs d. Uvered herself of with consid
erable force.
And it was just well that her breath
failed her after this, for the next outburst
wouM assuredly Lave been:
"Well, I b pt you won't hare no cause
to rue t he ;.iy nor the ileed:'
Considering the disparity in years, it
did seeiu to Mrs. Daly that this result
could not fail to come aliout.
She continued tu a frame of mind for
the lest of that day which could not by
u:.y Hrrt h of imagination have been des
iL'tiated ns amiable. To Lwilt forward to
bei:ig asked to abdicate f rotn a jKisition of
authority in nn ensy-g iug bachelor'
household nt tr many years of devoted
service is that which, perhaps, nu Mrr.
Iih , however worthy, could le expected,
tod without sot. ie natural pang.
Hut, aTt.-r all, the old Woman's attach-m-ut
to her nrister ws too sincere to
allow fct-lSsu considerations to triumph
long.
Whea it was all wort led. and Yenetia,by
Ga.-par Brent's wish, had come to the sol
itary old house in order to see it there
were any changes she wou id wish made
in lr, ere she became its mistress, Mrs.
Daly took her by the baud, nnd hokiii
Into the fair lilj-like face, observed:
"Well, you look like a good oue, and I'm
goii: t hope that you are. The man you
ara goiu' to marry niu't jest as young as
another, may Ik, but you kiu get down on
your km-es every ni.-ht, and thank God
ft. r giviti' you such a good bu.-lwnd.
There ain't another such msn outside o
Christendom," conclndetl Mrs. Daly.
'Ye, 1 know he is rery, rery good,
said Yenetia softly and gratefully. .
"Ami I bote you're properly fond of
him," mlded Mrs. Daly with a keen look;
of iuuiry.
And Yenetia, opening wide her Tiolet
e-e-, that were like a child's for candor
nnd innocence, replied, with a certain
"Ou?jV: Of course I am fond of Mr.
Brent." The eyes filled with tears. "He
has leen my kindest friend."
The two then, a friendly relation lieing
thus esUlUshed, went over the Louse to
gether. "She's a good molest girl, I'm think
ing," was Mr. Daly's mental comment,
when Venetia's aliiu young figure had
thppd down the garden-walk. "I hope
it'll last. If ever auy mau deserved a good
Wife, he does."

EBENSBURG, PA.. FRIDAY. .TUNE 29.
jc was late iiimm.-r, and she and Caspar
ri mametl in the autumn.
There Was a brilliant sunset in t he west,
and Yenetia, in whose nature there was
an iustnetive thirst for beauty in every
form, tirned her head to look iu that di
rection. In thiiwnyshe ran against a stalwart
mascull:e figme, which, at that instant,
approaaie.1 the gate.
She sfj ted back and glanced up Info a
pair of ; aerry, handsome blue eyes, bent
in somenrpri-e upon her.
The o-pr of the eyes stepped aside and
raised hisiiat in ready courtesy, aud Yene
tia, with i slight inclination "of the head,
pa- sed on.
She waled home very straight. Her
cheeks wee warm, though she was not
conscious c it.
Just betre entering the house she
paused, an glancing backward, mur
mured to licself:
"I wondervho that young man could
have been?'
The young ian in question had, on bis
side, looked ry unreservedly alter Ye
netia's youugigure as it passed, up the
long village, reet. And his comment
upon the meetig had proved much more
outspoken Miiiiefiuite than hers.
"By Jove! W nler how so imi, h youth

Lsuiug from tr vetierablo old uncle's
abode. The preiest creature I have seen

He started fix.r. Caspar Br.-nt
coming towards b,, ttopjH-d and stared!
'Well, uncle, fatten iisenuile, have

Ami Mrs. Daly's Mililuuity tuded a

As the shorter Fall days came over

noloncer.
All was being put ia readiness for tl
young bride, and the neighbors found a

there, which were, hems made to insure
her comfort and happiness.
Seems as though hecouldn't doenongh

aia't. It'll all lie new to her, I guess.
Well, old Brent's a good man no better
ever lived."
"All tho same Venetia ain't looking
very happy," remarked the ancient dame,
shaking her head. "I see her yesterday.
She was as white as chalk. I thought she
looked very down." r
Caspar Brent, happily unconscious of
r-uch comments as tho last, was wending
his way towards the Ietson house.
As he walked, tke tall slight figure bent
forward a little, less from the weaknessof
age than from the habit contracted dur
ing many years spent in solitary poring
over books, the mild fine eyes fixed upon
the ground; lie was meditating whether
there Were still any little things which
Yenetia might like of wnich he had not
thought.
This had leen his sole preoccupation
for weeks. God had been very kind to
him. He had thrown this beautiful
young girl in his path for Lim to love. He
accepted the boon reverently, with a tort
of fear. The feeling of thu disparity in
his years and hers was always Iter ore, him.
All his efforts were concentrated on a
perpetual striving to atoue to her, as it
were, for this difference.
So lost ia thought was he as he neared
the strip of grouud that surrounded Ye-n.-tiu's
home, that he at first dil not no
tice the sound of -voices coming in sup
pressed tones from ltehind the high hedge
that screened those within the garden
from the gaze of the passers-by.
But he stopped very suddenly, for he
thought all at once that he Leant Yeuetia,
speak, and was it possible, yes, she was
sobbing.
"No, no, don't plead with me, please,"
the young girl was saying in a low ngo
nized whisper. "Go please, go. it is of
no use. I must not listen to you. 1 owe
him everything everything:"
"You don't owe him the mere form of
an allegiance when your heart is given to
someone else, darling. Yenetia dearest,"
the pleading passionate voice rang out,
"you do love me you cannot deny it.
Then you belong to me, not to him."
What had come over the world in thin
one short minute? The sunshine seemed
to have been blotted out, and a cold wind
prang up aud lifted the dead leaves that
si re wed the road and swept them up into
little heaps.
Caspar Brent stirred1 blindly. He
touched his forehead with his hand onco
or twice e.ud turned back whence he had
come. He did not quite realize ut first
just what had happened. He knew after
wards that he Lad been dazed there for a
while.
He repeated to himself ouco or tw ice
slowly: -.
" Yes, of course. Charley loves her and
she loves him. How could they help it?
It is natural natural. I ought to have
known this Itcforel I ought to Lave
known this liefore!"
"Good Heaven!' cried Mr. Daly when
aha saw LU fac?. WhatLasbapxtened?"
"Nothing nothing'."' And yet he
seemed to have grown r;rilte old really
old since ho LJ kit tie Louyo r.n hour
before.
He went into Lis room end locked tho
door.
A litt!o later he came out an 1 asked
whether yiung Brent had returned. The
latter, who h-d jiut ccmo In, Leard t'uti

Inquiry and stepped forward.
"I wanted to see yon, sir," the yonng
man sai l. "I have-I got a letter this
morning which which will compel me to
leave J on sooner than I thought. In fact
Ithinkofsoius home to-morrow morn
ing." Gasp.ir Brent bent along look on the
young man's lace. It was very pale aud
haggard.
"Bless her!" thought he who Indeed
was now r.n old man. "She was faithful
poor child!" . - '
Then there was a pause, and then he
said, very quietly and kindly:
"No need for yon to go, Charley. I
know the reason for your wanting to leave
here. I did not mean to lie n eavesdrop
per, my Ikjv, but I overheard tome words
you and Yenetia spoke to-day in thu
grouudsdowu by the Ix.-lsons'."'
"You you heard," ftammertil t"e
young man, reddening furiously.
"And I want you to stay, Charley. Do
yon understand? If Vcuetia loves you
that is enough."
"Uncle! May Cod bless you for this! I
I don't know what to say".''
And so it was sell led, very quickie, very
quiet ly. Ga.-par Brent would not have
the original wedding-day put off would
not alter any of the original di.sisitions
he had made for that event. Everything
was to he the same only the bridegroom
was to 1? another.
Never ence did lie break down. Whea
Yenetia, bursting into tears, cried:
"Y'ou are too good to m. I do not de
serve so much. I deserve nothing iroiu
you but contempt' ho hurriedly whis
Jered. "Hush, hush, chil l! Never say that. Ii
is better to fur better. Youth loves
youth it is natural. I shouTd have Lcowa
you could not Jove an old fellow like me,
dear. It was just an old man's rcmance
over now. And you and CLailey ma.-t bo
nappy."
That was the riny before the wedding.
The next, Ga.-par Brent blood u;ou his
doorstep, w ith a smile upon his face, and
saw the young people drive o:T.
ti n tne iioneymoon was over they
must irium, ne taa aiu, aud his home
was to be theirs.
"A little young !lf- about us will do us
both jrood, Mrs. Daly," he told the iailh
ful old woman who had stv.;d by ;a:d wit
nessed ail the e hanges w ith a iuiiuus
face. Nor was it les f urioas n&w.
"If you live to see it," this taid wltaln
herself gri ml j.
But she knew not that Ler soul vould
prove so g'MMi n prophet. -
One night, a f.-w days before Charles

Toward dawn Caspar Hrnt opened his
eyes, groped feebly with Lis hands i.nd
murmured: "Yenetia!"'
A moment later Mrs. Daly raised a. pit
