It was ilifHcult for society to ac knowledge that liny Ila.leton was a man wlins i mental caliber was far above the areratrc and did ample jus tice to the educational advantages that had been lavished upon him. lie was a handsome man and heir to the Ila.leton proH-rty two facts ipiite sutiicient for s.ieiety to receive him with cordial welcome, and when Irene Curtis accepted his hand society smilcd approvinirly. Miss Curtis was acknowledged to lie the belle of her circle, and lioin;r the only child of one of our merchant princes the ona.-roraeti t when an nounced caused unite a flutter. Mrs. li.ilet.ni, (iiiy's mother, was the first to call upon the fair fiancee after her son's offer had been ac cepted. She found Irene, her hands idle, her larev eyes looking far iuto tie- fut lire. tine word roused the younjr pirl. "1 arlin-r." Then followed lorpr, close caresses, that told how warmly those women loved each ot her. "So I am to have a daughter?" the obi lady said, lovingly. "And I a mother. I see so little of father that he is more like a friend than a near reiat ion." "You know tiny irncs to New r leaiss next week, and will not return until May. Me thinks it will take him three months, at least, to settle his atiairs there: and he will be ready for KuroH' ae-ain. I shall be retting your lioiise ready, Irene, and you must aid me in trviiiLT to keep Cuy at home." "lie has been home now, how bin -?" "Not ipiite a year," said the old lady, abruptly: "do you know how lovely you are? 1 know tiny could never have married an ujTly frirl. lie worships beauty. I think there is souicth i u in liis sensitive nature that positively re coils from defect." There were oilier calls of congratu lation, ami :i week passed swiftly over Irene's head before liny started upon liis journey to New Orleans, with the uiidcrstan-iiniT that the preparations f..r a wedd iuir in June were to be pressed forward durinir his absence. Irene found herself so busy and so happy that over her day dreams of future Content not one foresha i. winy cloud warned her of the storms that were to break up.ni her life. she had been spending a day with Mis. lla.lcton. and toe-ether they had visited stores ami st lee ted dainty (Ti h : I s fur the beautiful trousseau in active preparation. When they re.iened home, a ocntleman to see Mrs. lia.le toii was announced to lie wait'm,T her return, and Irene ran lio-htiy uptiic stairs to remove her hat and eloai;. while her hostess w en t to t he d ra wi no-, room. Iler visitor proved to lict'ie conli lential clerk of Mr. Curtis, with an apiilli:irT story. Irene's lather had heard that ilav of tin utter failure of a speculation in wlucli Ins entire for tune was involved, and had committed suicide. In the hours of rrief Irene learned more f ul ly t he va 1 ue of a friend who loved her as a dauo-litcr. She was not allowed to return home: the funeral, the sale of her father's house and property, the weary details of business were all taken out of her hands, and she was allowed to nur-e her o-i i.-f in seclusion. Just on.r week after her father's dei'tii Irene received a letter, which she took at once to Mrs. Ila.leton. It was from a relative of whom she heard for the tirst time, a brolin-r of her mother's. lie wrote to her. ia formitiiT hcr'that her mother had been a poor factory .'irl at the time of her iiiarriafTe. and that her tamily had never intruded themselves into her luxurious home. "1 am ii poor man," he wrote, "earn iuo; my living as a tclcprairh operator, but I have a home to offer you. You Will miss the luxuries of your father's house, but I will rive you irmnnirl. I 'ome to me now, or at any time w hen you need a home." "Am I very poor?" the vouiit jr'1"' asked. reiili.!u:r for the iir.st time that her father's death involved also a loss of property. "'Are you not (lily's promised wife?" said thcol I lady, reproachfully. "Your home is here. Irene, until you leave it as tiuy's w ife. Write t i your u.'icie, my cliiid. and tell him your mother claims von until your promised hiisl-aud re turns." Hut the letter was never written. It was loiiif past midnight on the ni -Ut follow in if this conversation when Irene w as roused from sleep by cri-.'s of pain from Mrs. 1 lalcton's room. She ran at once to meet a M'lit of hor ror. Ilt-r old friend had fa lieu asleep over the tire and slept until her bo k had fallen uion the hearth. ca!iriit lire from a coal and communicate I t.ie llauie to her dressiae; tfown. When Irene reached her she was in a blaze. One moment of hesitation increased the frie-htful peril. In aa instant the little figure was wrapp.'l in thick blankets from the bed. pr.-ssed closely bv I rene s strong arms, while she cried aloud for heip. The flames were sub dued, a physician summoned, and the mi tferer's injuries dressed beiore Irene thought of herself. Not then, not un til days later, did she fully reali.e th it she had saved a life and lost her beauty. T he burns were not severe, but one side of her lovely face was drawn out of shajn. Mrs. lla.leton's injuries were serious but not mortal, and tiny was not summoned home. May had arrived, with its balmy air and fresh foliage, and Mrs. llazieton was able to sit up the greater part of the day. She knew well that much of her rapid recovery was due to Irene's careful iiursinjf. Now tiny was coming, and the tender nurse would have her reward. The noon train would brin-f her son home. "Now. Irene, dress yourself. See. it is almost eleven o'clock, and Cuy will be here by twelve. I'ut on your white collar and culTs. dear, to relieve this heavy black. You will not wear it much loiirer." Irene made no reply. She knelt do wn beside her friend and embraced her lovingly and then left her. At length the welcome sound of car riage wheels ifrceted the mother's ear, and a moment later she was clasped in her son's arms. Even then his eyes ' wandered around the room. I "Irene, mother!" j "She went to change her dress. You will not :et her see, liny, that you feel any alteration in her face. It was to save your mother's life that she pave her own beauty." "A note for you, sir. I was to hand it to you as soou as you arrived," said a servant. "From Irene," said he, wonderinly, as he tore it open. "Mother! KeaJ that." "I ik a u (irt." the note said, "you areromini; now to take my place, and 1 can leave your mother to your rare. The Irene yuu loved is tronci o n I v a hid. -mis mask. Mv jhiverty your heart overlooked. Put your mother said to me, on that happy day when I knew you loved me: i iiiy could never have married an Uirly jrirl. He worships heauty." May some happier love replace thai of must " The servants were summoned and could only say that Miss Curtis drove away in a hired hack. Mrs. Ila.leton thouj; ht at once of the uncle's letter, but she had taken no note of the address, but remeuiliered the name Iluirh Conway. "It is some comfort to know- there is a home ojici to her," he said, sadly. "Itut she is mine. 1 have been a fool ish fop. with my absurd talk about ray sensitive nature recoil in if from jht sonal deformity. 1 will find her, I must." One year passed, and in the little tow n of Ileeptiale, and the country seat of Col. White, a (fay party had as sembled to pass the .summer.

He had become an earnest, thinking man. sotiiethiiijf of a jli tician. and had resumed the study of law, mcauiiiif to adopt it as a profes sion. It was not an easy matter to coax him from his -mother and his oftiee to visit at lleejidale. but he had consented to spend a month there, and the (fiissijis had decided Clara's black eyes to lie the inaifuet that drew hiiu from his seclusion. "Will you ride to the village with me?" said Clara, as she rose from breakfast one iuornin-. "1 have to buy some tritles. and want an escort." "I am at your service." said Cuy, readily. "This is my holiday. l!ut 1 want to send a dispatch, if you w ill To to the ofliee with me." The shopping over, the dispatch came next in order, and the younjf people entered the little ofliee where the wires connected Ileeptiale and the metropolis. "How soon can I have an answer from New York?" asked tiny, as he handed a slin of nailer to the ladv who answered his tap at the ofliee window. Clara shuddered as she saw the face of the operator, and even tiuy's heart thrilled at the painful spectacle. "in about an hour," was the answer. "Can we wait here?" "Certainly." The window was closed, and Cuy, plaeiiiiT a chair for Clara, resi ned him feelf to an hour of waiting. In the little ofliee the telejrraph o erator sat down, faint and white, looking at the dispatch, which was directed to Mrs. Hazleton, ami worded thus: "Went to Auhurn yesterday. Huirh Conway Is dead.

"None! and a whole year has passed since Irene tied from me." And you love her in spite of that alteration?" "Hoes it not make her a thousand limes dearer?"
