WMI't others read It ynttx but little care, With no regard to hovr they read, nor r here, borne read it as a history, to know How people lived three thoosand years ago.

III a darkened chamber, dark with tho awful shadow .still moie that) with the lack of material light, four persons were gathered argind a bed, bli which lay a man bearliiQ in his face , the un mistakable signs f the summons which none can refuse tp answer. A weeping grl knelt by the bedside, her face bent ov,er the nerveless band which lay upon tbo coverlet, and which she held as though by that convulsive clap she could hold her father still to life. At a table, covered with papers and writing material, sat tbo dying man's solicitor, engaged In the preperatinn of lils;,wll, "What names shall I Insert as trustees? lou snouia naro two at least." u The dying raau paused ere ho replied with an effort : ' Geoffrey Howard, Major One Hun dred and Eleventh, now in India. I have no other friend.1' . , " In that caso may I venture to offer my huniulo services, suoject to the usual provjso. i sliuuki uo delighted to be useful to Miss Hope ; and If your friend is auroau mere may he dlltlcul ties." True, Slythorpft. I thank you Make yourself tius,tee, then, with Ma Howard. .Legacy::"!) lor your irouDie,." , " Nay, my dear sir, quite unneces' sary.

' Yes, that will do, Give me a pen," bo said, ana wun a shaking hand at' fix el his signature. " TbaukUod.lliat'ssafel" he gasped " Mary, my child, you and Geoffrey you and Ueoffrejr I What was I saying? Uud bless yo'j, my darling I God bless " , These were te last words Bernard Ilope ever spote. A year had passed away since Ber nard Hope's death, and Mary still re mained an inmate of thy house of Mrs. Murgatroyd, the good wuniau whom re have seen in attendance at her fath er's last Illness, and who, to her occa sional occepation as nurse, added the more permanent one of letting lodgings, ary's sweet face and manner had qnlie won the heart of the good-natured landlady, who , was unceasing lu her. endeavors to scoliu her uilef and mlnli ter to her comforts. Uut she had anoth er trouble noui, the less hard to bear Suit It was one in which ahe pould have lt!w coiiuuumea, jiiHj. jiuwaru.oi ivnoin mention lias already been (,mado, was not only her father's uost valued friend, but had Insensibly grown very cjear to herself, and when, six months before Bernard JUope's .death, be was summoned with .lils recipient to India, V.. luft Xfnri, hta nrniiiL. ...Ma iTmlM be had written,, within the first few, iiv ,nauiuuiia uiiub. . niww weeks of ins tleparlura, .since which .I.,.-., Iin.l I,.,.... n .....II.,.. 1 1 . tiiua iiicia .inn uscu n iciuuiu oitcucc. and lo the same week which left Mary latlierless a second blow, fell upoii.her, Tbo Ono Hundred and Eleventh bad been engaged In a.smart skirmish, the number of dead atyd .wounded belog considerable. Ma J. Geoffrey Howard was reported arauug the ialleu, and Mary had to mourn at onco her lover mid iter latner. The death of Mr.. Howard left Mr. Hvtlirom; aula trustee of Mr. Hope's will. This to Mary was a matter of the most perfect Indifference. Uuspectlng ovil of no one, she was as willing that her little, fortune, amounting to some five or six thousand Bounds, should nut in Mr. Slytborpe's bands as in those ot any other person;" But of lata tho at itornay had begun to prosecute ber with attentions which,, under existing cir cumstances, would have been distaste ful lo anyone, but were doubly so from n person whom slio could not' help ro. gardlng with an Instinctive dislike. And lu truth Mr. Slytliropo was riot precise ly tlin person toiwin a fair lady's fancy. Undersized, lilgli-BhoulderetJi with blink ing, (ashless eyes, and a goneral angu larity, not to say knobblnet.of feature, he might have been expected to rise su perior to any iweakness as to personal appearance, Uut such was by no means the case. Mr. Slytliropo ono morning knocked at, Mrs. Mureatroyd's door, That good Iddy was at the moment en gaged in ousting jmis8 iiopcs room, ami, catching sight of bis approach, exclaim ed : " There's that nasty, worrltlnc law ffer again, I do declare. Slythrope, in deed I l u Slytliropo him 1" t It would bo hopeless to endeavor to express on, paper the intensity of mean Inc Mrs. Murgatroyd threw Into her newly-coined verb. Mary smiled at tho good lady'ivveliemenco. " My dear Mrs. Murgatroyd, you really shouldn't ba so severe. Sir. Sly tlirojjo Is a little peculiar, but I have no doubt he means kindly, and yod know he is, the trustee or poor papa's win." " I. know 10'Ib, my dear, and I wish bo wasn't. J know bo shouldn't be trustee to a cat of mine 1" At this point the conversation was In- tetrupted by .tho cnterenco of tho gen tleman In question, and Mrs. Murga. troyd, passing him with a final sniff of abhorrence, quitted the apartment. Mr. Slytliropo, for onco In his me.ap, peared ill at ease. Ho was got up with bis accustomed care, and the suggestion of scented aodpLwlilch accompained hliu was even stronger than usual ; but his usual self-satisfied air was wanting. Ho evidently had something on his mind some piece of rascality. i ., juy aear jsiiss mope, uo ueguai, after the first greetings lmd been ex changed, " I grieve-to be the bearer of very unpleasant intelligence." i Mary looked up with Quiet IndlfTw eucev .scarcely believing that,- after all she lwd gouo through, i any news, gocd or bad could have for her more tlifJi the mcjt passing interest. Slythorpe continued : v. I am sure that you will believe I di it for Uii) best ; but misfortunes .will Happen, youi ttuiiw, even witu inn up most care and caution. I am euro I thought tho Investment was as safe as the bank ; but there's no trusting any thlng'nowadaya." 1 " What Is tho misfortune, Mr. Sly thorpe, for,you haven't yet told me ? Nothing very serious-, I hope." " Only too serious, my dear M " ho tried to say " Mary," but couldn't get It out, and substituted " Miss Hope"--" nothing less, I fear, than the loss bf the whole of your little fortune." i Mary turned vtyyipale, but gave no oth,er sign of CLtiotlon. " How did it happen ?" she said, with an effort. " Your money was, as you know, in the 8 per cents., vwlieio It produced a miserable JBICO ayyear. In the hope of doing better for you, I sold out and In vested it In a new mining company, tbo Wheal ,Marlna, which promised tbpay a minimum dividend of 10 per cent., nud so would have Just trebled youc income. And this morning I am grieved to find from tho Times that the company is au utter smash. Tho directors. have bolted, and tho share-holders will lose every penny of tbelr money." " Is all Gone 1 Nothing left ?" " Not a sixpence, anil you remain liable for calls to the amount ot about as much more." ii Poor Mary's fortltudo quite gave way. 10 dear, what shall I do? I haven't a friend In the world " No, no.don't say that, Miss Mary," said Slythurpe, In ri gentle, patronizing manner ; "it Isn't ai bad as that conies to. I haven't disguised my own foel Ings toward you, and, , though you've lost your money, you know, tlmtiited-nt make apy uuiereuco between you ana me. My affection ain't ot the mercen ary sort : lu fact, as I got you Into the mess (Ihougn wun mu best nr inleiM tions.mlnd you), It's only fair I should get you uut ol It." . . i Mary had Hidden . her raco in iier hands, but she beeanio aware frnm tbe Increased Intensity of the all pervadliits stented-soap aroma mat Myiiiutpa was drawing nearer to her, and in. niiotfior moment his nrm wa) round tier waltt She drew herself up, proudly, , ,, " Sir. I am vtilllu; to bblievs you mean kindly, but your olfer under such circumstances is an Insult. Be good enough to,leavo mo." . , . It was two days after this sceno that Mary Hope, with the Times beluio bet, was answering ndvertlseineiils fori a governess.) She hsd ans7ered three udvertiseivents, acil had "folded and sealed her, letters, and new.,. wltlUier open desk, before lier, waecouutlug her little stora of ready money, nud calcu lating how long she could at auy rate subsist before she found .employment. In runlaploc her pursq, iler hand fell upon n portrait, which alio took out aud gazed i at lonuiy. " uenr old ueonrey. If you bad lived, bow different my fu ture wculd have been I I suppose I ought to say God's will bo done, but, oh, It's very, very hard I" A few mo inents she continued gazing through her tears at the potrult, when a sharp knock at the outer door startled lier.aud she replaced it in tho. desk,. She beard MrsMurgatioyd In conversation with some ouo, and then a quick, well-te-ivetobered.yolce.sald : " iWUero ? This room 1" Aud in another moment tbe door was flung open, 'and Mary nopo was sobbing lnher lost Idvet'a arms. Geoffrey Howard Und been danger ously wounded, and' had been priso ner' for, the greater parti of the year in an Indian dungeon, wheto tor many weeks his life hung oil o thread by reason of an attack 'obraall;nant fever. He had landed in England! but twelve hours previously, and had not dost a moment In seeking the pteschen Qf-htn darling and her father, fori he was tit course Ignorant ot Bernard Hope's death. Mary, too, bad much to tell, and nestling by Geoffrey's side, her little lingers hidden in theirugged brown hands ofiher lover, which held them as tliough they would never again let them go, she told him all she bad gone through the.loss of her lather, the his tory of the will, nud, lastly, the loss ot ber little fortune. " I don't understand It," sald OeoU trey. "Tho man, has been playing sotnp very deep game." " Perhaps he really wished to get me mpre what do you call It "Interest for, my imoney. , ii dare say It was meant iltlndlypietioiuglit . though it has happened no. unfortunately." ," I dpn't believe it, darling. If all had 'gone well you would simplyibave received your three per -cent., and Mr. Slyttiorpe would have pocketed the dif ference..'. , ,n .. , " O Geoffrey, Geoffrey I I'm afraid you have come home very uncharitable. Uesides, what does It matter about a lot of stupidi money, now I have got you back again ?. Unless, Indeed, you would have liked mo better for having the money." ,. . There Is only one possible answer to such an accusation, and MaJ. Howard made it ; that Is to pay, he called Mary a little goose,! klsaed her, and dropped the subject, ua leaving ber, ho took a haudsom cab, and drove to the office of the liquldatorof the company, where. on his stating that ho. desired to make some inquiries on behalf iQt one of their shareholders, Mr. Slythorpe, bo was in formed, to lils astonishment, tnahlhere was not, and ifever had been. any share holder of that name on tbe books i f the company. He next Inquired wheth er, perchance, the shales werq standing In Miss Hope's own name, aua again was answered In the negative. Utterly bewildcrod, he drove to Mr. blytliorpe's office. Mr. Slythorpe was at hoine.and he spedlly found himself in the tttor ney 's presence. Mr. Slythorpe .(Was a little nervous. Ho was always r. little nervous with strangers till tin knew their business, and MaJ. Howard's an nouncement that he had called on be half of Miss M'ary Hope did nob tend to Increase hlsicoofidence. Hq whs, how ever.far from suspecting MaJ. ijoward's identity, ibut Jumped lo the conclusion that ho Was a hostile, solicitor employed by Mlsilopo to call blm to account. Maj. Howard's next remark tended to confirm that Impression. You stated to Miss Hope, I tblnk.a cnuplo of days ago, that i the property bequeathed to her by tierlfather'siwill nau ueqn invested in tnoiwaenl Marina Company,, which has Just'comqlo. grief. You are of equrso awaro tlmtito Invest ment upouisuch a rotten security twos it gross breach of trust, for which you are liable." ' Not at aii : the power ot Invest ment is unlimited.

Aud then I thought I'd try It, It was merely a little lunoceut practical Joko a ronsri I d'amour, sir ; a mere rooso d "amour." And Mr. Slythorpe smiled.
