Mrs. Hartley was seated In n small. rather cheerless sltllnR-rooii), engaged In the lonely uccupallon of stocking darning; while opposite to her, bnrnli, her only child, with folded hands, look ed out uf the cottage window. There had been a tall figure passing down tho pntn that led to the little gate, but, long before, that was out of slant. Still Sarah sat there, her dark, mounful eyes looking out upon tho dusty road, her beautiful mouth folded In lines of path os, touching in one so young. Uulaly the shining needle went In and out of the stockings, and sometimes tho mother cast a wistful glance nt the lovely face opposlto to her, ns if long ing to comfort or advise. It was strangely pathetic to seethe little white n a nits, mat were always so busy, lying 1 1 l the forenoon, tho cheerful features so absorbed ami sad. At last, Sarah broke tbe loner, naln- ful silence. "Mother," sho said, "la it my duty to marry Charles Everhard?" "Your duty, Sarah? aavo you no warmer word to use when you talk ot marrying a man to whom we owe so great a debt of gratitude?" "No, mother. I am grateful to him, but I do not love him." "Yet he loves you devotedly." "If I could only believe that!" Sarah sighed. "If I were only sure he loved mel" "You are too romantic, Sarah. Think for a moment. We were miserably poor, living in an attic, doing tlop-work for tbe barest necessaries of life, when accident threw you In Charles Ever- Iiard a way." "Was it accident? I have often thought it was strange that he should have stood so veiy near when I was In sulted for the only time in the street. 11 has often troubled me that I thought I detected a glance pass between the man who was rude to me and mv Gal lant deliverer. It was rather dramatic, motner,tnai sudden rusli to protect me." "Hut think, barnu, of the great deli cacy exhibited in his kindness since that time. Ills Introduction to me was certainly a gentlemanly method of ob taining permission to call. Then his procuring this cottage for us upon such easy terms, and tbe work we aro doing, so pleasant and yet so well paid. And sureiy, &arnn, ir we were still as rich as wo were when your father died, vou could not have been wooed with more respect than Charles Everhard constant ly shows you." "I know all you would urge, mother; and yet the fact remains--he does not love mel" "lie Is a man who might marry well in his own circle, Sarah. II U father Is one of our leading lawyers, and your poor undo had a great respect for him." "uncle Herbert, mother' " "Yes, dear, who died In Australia last year. Poor fellow, after slaving there for nearly twenty years, he must nave aiea poor. "Why?" "I am his only living relative, dear, excepting yourself, and If ho had left any property, we should have heard of It." "Yes, I have heard you sav so I wish he had left you it little money. Ever so little would enable us to throw off this bitterload of obligation. Itcrush es me 1 I had rather be back In our attic, and know wo were Independent, Mother! mother! I cannot marry Charles Everhard!"' "Yet you havo all to gain by such a marriage, Sarah, nothing to lose!" "I bliould lose ray self-respict, my happiness for life. No, mother, though l may seem unsraterul, I'll not many where there is no love." But Charles Everhard did not patient ly bear tho rejection of the beautiful Cirl lie uau persistanuy wooed ior many long months. lie bad, as Sarah sus pected, planned tho apparently chanse encounter which first brought him to the notice and grateful acknowledge ment of the widow and her daughter. He had spent valuable time anil no small amount of money In following up this Introduction, ami having, as he bo lleved won Sarah's affection, he asked her to be his wife. And Sarah, with only the pure In stincts of her own maiden heart to guide her, had refused his offer. With his heart full of bitter revenge, he tried to wlu by cruelty what he had fulled to gain by kinduess. Before a week passed he urged his suit with Mrs. Hartley. With affectionate words she told him of her own regret nt Sarah's decision, but absolutely refused to use her Influence to alter It. Then, when vague hints were thrown out to waken her fears, a stately dignity re. placed tbe motherly warmth of her manner, and Charles Everl'nrd was courteously but distinctly Informed that Sarah could never be won by bribe or threat. But a few days were allowed for re flection before the landlord of the little cottage raised the rent to such an ex orbitant amount that only immediate removal remained for the Hartleys. The easy lucrative work was taken away at an hour's notice, and when Sarah went to to tbe slop-warehouse for which she had formerly worked, employment was denied her there. Winter was coming on, and the narrow attlo room seemed even more dreary than before, in contrast to tbetrcosy cottage. Mrs. Hartley spoke once In terms that quieted any pain ber daughter might have felt on ber account. "Sarah," sho said, "I ahudder to think of your life in tbe power of a man who could so wreak his revenge upon two helpless women. It Is fortunate, my child, your heart gutded you truly. No man who ever loved you could so suddenly become your enemy. As she spoke there wan a knock at the door, and Charles Everhard came in, to meet a chilling reception. Not abruptly, but by graceful transi tions, he led the way to his hope that Sarah might think more kindly of the offer refused beforo. He spoke elo quently of his love for her, delicately urged Ids respect and affection for her mother, and expressed the most pro found regret that he had over allowed his anger at her first refusal to Influence him, as It had done, to nets of enmity. But he pleaded In vain, Sarah firm ly rofused to become an unloved, un loving wife. There was littlo sleep In the cheer less attlo that night; but the morning found tho Hartleys up early, and Sarah prepard to go out in search of work. The postman's voice rang along tho narrow passage. "Hartley I" "An answer to our advertisement!" cried Sarah, flying down for the letter and up again. Then Mrs. Hartley, gave a startled cry at the deathly pallor of tho fa:e lifted to meet her eyes. "Mother," Sarah said, In a hushed voice, "can you bear a shock of Joy 1 Rather a novel sensation for you and me. This letter tells me my Uncle Her bet left a Willi" "Yes, Sarah! Speak quickly, child." "In care ot Everhard & Hill, to be opened upon my twenty-first birthday. Charles Everhard's falher, mother, has had this will since Uncle Herbert died," "I begin to understand, dear. Then you aro an heiress " "To one hundred thousand dollars!" There was no more want or cold for the heiress or her mother. It was threo years later when Sarah was sought for a wife by one who loved her and won the treasure of her love; and the warm, true heart no longer held tho silence that once saved tho lovely girl from becoming the unloved, unloving wife of an unscrupulous fortune-hunter.
