11 was a winter morning. cold and
cheerless, with the clammy dampness of a
coining snow-storm in the air. The strips
of blue sly, upon which even the poorest
beggar of the street may sometimes look
with a faint glimpse oT the heaven beyond
were quite hidden IT dark masses of cloud,
that redeeted their own somber hues on
the faees of the hurry lug passers-by.
Ralph Field ran down the steps of his
boarding-House, and hailed a passing car.
The down-town rush had just begun, and
an involuntary shiver of discomfort ran
beneath iris wrappings, as lie saw, on
stepping in, that all the seats were taken.
Ding'. (11911 went the conductors's WI,
and one after another dropped in, till even
standing room was limited. ~,Stiother stop;
and this time the new arrival was an el
derly woman, very poorly and thinly clad,
staggering under the weight of a huge
=2
laundry basket. Her thin features were
min:ltal.:lily Pinched wit[, cold, Mat„her
whole frame trembled as she shifted her
benumbed bands painfully, still bolding
up the lieavy burden, unable to find room
for it on the floor of the car.
Such a weary, pitiful look, in the worn
face, shaded by its thin grey hair—such
patient endurance in theeyes, meekly cast
down. The comfortably seated gentlemen
shrank closer into their gay scarfs and
mufflers; but if any one thought, it
might have been my mother," the gentle
charity was stifled in its first up-springing
and there was no outward sign.
- little rustle of silk, as a lady rose in
one corner, made Ralph look around, and
a voice, clear and sweet as a silver bell,
said, "take this seat, my good woman."
A glance of quick, grateful surprise shot
up front the woman's eyes, as she mur
mured, "Thank you Miss, kindly," and
sunk, with a sigh of exhanstion. into the
place just vacated.
Three or fourgentlemen sprang up with
a simultaneous offer of their seats, but a
glow of indignant color flamed into the
lady's cheeks, as she answered, with a
slight how, "1 thank you—l will stand."
And stand she did, her little gloved band
holding the strap firmly, and her face
turned a little aside, so that Ralph dared
study her with his admiring eyes.
"_No ordinary girl." Ms artist sense
would have told him that at aglance, even
though his heart had not conic in to aid
his judgment, with its quick response to
her generous action. Ralph Field had too
tender menwries of his (Wail mother and
sisters, not to feel a kind of proprietorship
in all that is noblest and truest ill woman.
And so he fell into a halt dream, wak
ing only as the lady signaled to the eon
ductor and stepped lightly down. Then
he saw. with a start, that he was quite
beyond Flint Chatterson's. and must
walk up the street again two sunares at
least. Itiu•ryiugout. he caught sight of a
lace handkerchief lying on the door. just
where the lady Karl stood. Ire picked it
up hastily. but its fair owner had disap
peared in the crowded street. faint
perfume boated up as he shook it front the
dust. and there. on one corner. was a
name. "Etta Stuart.'•
— Etta Stuart. Etta Stuart," said Ralph
to himself, as he walked up the street.
drawing his bro \VS together in a punled
frown; ••I have surely heard the name be-
Just then, Frank Evans bore down on
hint with a hearty morning greeting.
- Rano, Ralph, my boy! What are you
pondering, that you look like a judge, all
but the wig? You must get off that face
and come up to the house this evening.
Sister Lou is just home from Springfield.
and cousin Etta Stuart. the peerless, has
come with her for the winter."
Frank was hardly prepared for the ;mil
den illumination of Ralph's face. He
stared a minute, and then went on:
"You know I told you about Etta be
fore, and promised you an introduction
"Yes, yes. I remember. Thank you
Frank. I'll come."
What an interminably long day it w•as]
Ralph eaught himself once sketching a
pair of dark - eyes on the margin of a busi
ness note. "What ails me?" he said to
himself, energetically. as he thrust the of
fending sheet into the waste-basket, and
dashed off II fresh order.
But. if the day was long, the evening
/10%/TS were winged. lie found in Frank's
"Etta the peerless," none other than his
fair companion of the morning. She did
not recognize him—how should she, trent
among a score of fellow-passengers?--but
he would have known her among a thou
sand. The dainty mour/i4 ir was in his
gioetry.

breast pocket, but before the evening was
half over he had decided upon his first
theft :he would not give it back. Per
haps its owner had already exacted more
than a fair equivalent from the tinder:
but of that we can only guess.
That :was 3haiph Field's never to-be-for
gotten winter. It was the old, old story;
so we need not linger over it. No matter
what visions of love mid honor came to
him, in his bachelor den, others have
dreamed before him, in all ages: nu mat
ter how fair and stately were the Spanish
castles he built, in, the dusk and dimness
of the counting. room—Love has had its
own school of architecture since the world
began.
Did Etta.love hing? lie had never ask
ed her in words; hut the heart has more
than one avenue of expression, and there is
eloquence of look ;mil touch that is some
times even more than audible language.
lle w aited the - promised advancement,
that bhoias place hint 'where he need not
be ashamed to ask Etta Stuart's father
for the keeping of his dearest treasure;
and, meanwhile, was it not enough that
she read the books and sang the songs he
loved: that her cheeks took on a tenderer
color and her eyes a softer smile at his
coming?
Winter had worn into spring again.
Charley Marks placed his hand in
Ralph's arm, as they left the supper-room
together one evening. Somebody was an
nounced to speak in Jrnsie Hall—wouldn't I
Ralph go down? it was still early when
hey took their seats, and there were few
people in. Slowly up the aisle can a' a la
dy and gentleman. 31;111)1i lookeil up to
see his Etta; but who was this, with his
bronzed, handsome face and foreign air?
- Capt. Tileston. as I live:" said Marks.
didn't know lie he hail arrived—you
know him?"
- - No," said Ralph, shortly.
"Ali. I thought you did: but he was
abroad two.-years. *hat a 1 Pc . autifut girl
that Miss :Stuart is! I haven't seen her
equal in the city this season. She looks
happy to get back her knight-errant. Well
Tileston is a lucky dog!"
"What do you mean?" said - Ralph, with
an agitation he could scarcely conceal.
"Why. don't you know they have been
engaged three years. Capt. Tileson went
with Frank Evans to stpringlield, and met
this girl them--Frank's cousin you know,
It was all up with him from the first time
he saw her. The day was fixed for their
wedding, lint Tileson had a severe hem
orrhage of the lungs, and the doctors said
nothing would save him hut travel. He
looks well enough now.''
"You know all this, Charley? It's no
mere rtuttor?" Ralph's hand was on his
friend's arm.
