Stella's Inheritance.
BY S. AS.NIK FROST.
"A lauy to seo Miss Wentworthl"
Tlio forewoman stnndinj! In the doorway
of F : Co''s lone work-iooni, made
this announcement In a resentful tone, as if
MissWcntwortli's visitor wasa personal af
front. Blella Wentworth, rising from her
seal, whero her daily routlno of labor whs
perforin al, came blowly across tlio long room,
no excitement flushing the marblo pallor
of her clieek, only n faint wonder hi her soft
brown eyes.
"A lady lo seo mcl" she asked, when she'
fared tho frowning woman.
"Yes you will please inform her that it is
out of order for visitors to call work hours.
She is-iu a carriage at the door."
""Thank you 1"
And for thul.ist.time Stella poke to tho
grim" forcwonion; lor tho last lime crossed
thp threshold of tho work-room; wliero slio
had slaved patiently for two years. At the
door,sho found a carriage, and .waiting in
side a loll, stately blonde, whoso rich dress
and wonderful beauty wero entirely tin
known to Stella. A voice singularly sweet
and low-toned addressed her.
"I have permission from Mr. F
for you to spend tho day with tno. I am
Gertrudo Wetitjvorlh."
SlcHa flushed rusily now, nnd drew back
witli a movement nf shy pride.
'Il'leaso cotne saiclffthola'dy'. pleading
gently. "If you do not wish to stav, you
may return in an hour; but plcaso coino
now !" , -
Thero' vvnsjnb resislingtho "persuasive
power of tho sweet, musical vofco; and
Stella, saying she would soo'n return, went
fur hat and shawl, " In a few moments tlio
two wero drivingrapidly to tho hole), neith
er sjieaking till they were in tlio luxurious
room there, where Gertrudo Wentworth was
staying, ffhen; removing herself Stella's
shabby hat and coat, Gertrude drew her
gently to a sofa.
"I should have been hero before," sho
said, very gently, but I did not hear of
your mother's deatii until last week.
" Sho died three mouths ago," Stella said,
in a choking voice.
"So longt'Poor-cliild, how lonely you
havo been!" ! .
Tho true, heartfelt sympathy brolto down
tho last barrier of Stella's pride, and she
bent her he.nl nnd sobbed. By the contrast
between tlieso women, ouo would havo sup
p)sed Gertrude greatly tho senior of her cous
in. But sho was but twenty-three; whllo
Stella had passed her nineteenth birthday.
But Gerlrude, tall, full in figure.richly dress
ed lu flowing garments, nf a uoblo yet win
ning type of beauty, had the gracious dig
nity of one accustomed to control wealth.
Wliilo Stella pale and thin, small in figure,
dressed In shabby black, looked crushed and
subdued, though her face was exquisitely
fair, and promised beauty, if ever tho heavy
cloud of soirow could bo lifted. When tho
sobs grew fainter, Gertrude spoko again.
" You have been taught to believe my
father was strangely unjust to yours, Stcllat"
"I think papa felt so," was tho reply in a
low tone.
"Bernuso my father married at an ad
vanced age, after giving his nephew your
lather a home, lovo, and care for thirty
years. Ho had intended tn make him his
heir, Stella, until ho met my mother, and
married her. I knew little more of the es
trangement, except that your father was in
solent to, tho bride, and .there was n quarrel.
All this was long ago, before either vou'or I
wero burn, Stella. But I am uito sure that
my father intended to leave something to
you. Ho could not quite forgivo your fath
er! you,r ipotl;er he' never knew; but ho
looked upon you as a near relative, and
often talked of you. He died very sudden
ly threo years ago, and never mads a will;
so I inherit everything. I wrote twjco to
your mother, but sho never answered my
letters. She felt herself wronged, I suppose,
But you, Stella, will bury this old quarrel,
will you not? Wo two are the only Went
worth left, and If I die you will inherit all
I own."
" But you wilt marry."
''No, I shall never marry 1" Tho noble
face grew very pale, and Into the largo bluo
eyes there came an expression, not so much
oTsaduoss as of solemnity, as i! tie words
liau stirred soma profound emotion. " I
have no near relative," Gertrudo continued,
" except my mother's widowed sister, Mrs.
Croeson, who lives with me. You will seo
her lotlay, I have come all tlio way from.
my home, Stella, to ask you to return with
ma, to be my sister. You will some?
" Hut ydu do not know," faltered Stella,
t i . t .in
' 1 0,11 working girl. I have not a dollar
in the world."
,. ,. ., ... . , . .
" I have thouijlit of that. oil will have
1,18 inoomo of twenty thousand dollars whllo
I livfi- After that, you will havo all, except
a few legnoieo,"
"But! do not understand. You are young,
You will live years and years. I hope you
,W? toUoU." . added, and ther,
was so doubting th sincerity of hor tone.
" Wo will not bo euro of that," Gertrudo
said, with a sad smile " but tho twenty
thousand dollars will be yours in any case,
Butyou linvo not told mo that I am to have
my sislcr."
A quivering smile, a sob, and then Stella
throw herself Into tho kind arms opened to
her, and wept out her gratitude. It was
impossible to' rementber nny inhentcu-ro-
se.ntment, in tho faco of such winning, graci
0(19 kindness.
Bcforo night the had packed up her few
possessions, mostly trifles dear from associa
tion with her dead parcntSjhad bidden fare
well to.hcr few friends, and turned her faco
from tho old life, humbly gmleful for the
new ono.
It seemed to her, as tho carriago drove up
the wido avenuo to Wentworth Placo two
days later, that she was entering fairy land.
Juno was yet young, and tho cxtensivo
grounds, wero n mass of bloom, every new
fancy of gardening smiling from tho care
fully cultivated estate. In tho midst the
white marblo hbiiso rose, stately, and yet
graceful,tho wido porches vino-wreathed and
rose-crowned. From door to door was a
wido matted hall, whero light furniture
mado a summer parlor, nnd whore birds nnd
flower baskets mado a bower at each end,
Waiting thero was a gentleman, who was,
from tlits first mectingi very hero In Stella's
eyes. Her father was the only truo gentle
man in courtesy and education the young
girl had ever known. Poverty, such as had
followed his death, finds littlo companion.
ship with tho gcnllo class.
And this stranger was like her father, In
having a pair of largo dark eyes, a black
tnoustache,.ind waving masses of dark brown
hair. Like him, too, in delicacy of feature
and courtesy of mannrr. But wliilo her
father had been ill in health peevish nud
suffering, with bowed form nnd face, tho
stranger was erect and strong, with tho sun
ny light of perfect health aud good temper
on his whole countenance.
'Welcotno homol most welcome I" he
cried, coming out to meet tho carriago, and
assisting tho ladies to alight. " Are you til
ed out, Mrs. Crcssoti 1"
' Not at all ; wa only camo from New
York to-duy. If anybody Is tired it is tho
young people. They did miles nnd miles ol
shopping yesterday, alter riding all tho night
befbic."
1 And you aro tired, Gertrudo ?" for tho
sweet blonde faco was vory pile.
' So tired," sho said, softly, " that I must
leave my cousin to your care, Frank.
Siclla, this is my dear friend, Mr; Frank
W ray moral" and Stella,' looking up; met
tho deep dark eyes looking most kindly in
to hor face. " You., will pardon mo if I rest
a little," Gertrudo taid; and then, with a
few words to her aunt, sho passed up tho
broad staircase to her own room.
But it was a strange, pitiful rest sho look
there. In tho wide, luxurious room, mis
tress of all tho wealth whose evidences wore
upon every side, sho stood, white and sad
eyed, trembling In every limb. Without
removing her travelling dress or hat, slio
paced up and down, often lifting her arms
ill an agony of supplication, while a mur
muring prayer escaped tho white, quiv
ering lips.
' Help me to bear it, Heavenly Father 1
Oh, bo pitiful to Thy child I I lovo him so
well I Teach mo to put Thy lovo first in my
heart, that I might say, " Thy will bo
dono 1" Help mo, 0 pitying Saviour I"
So praying, never weeping, but with a faco
far more pitiful than tears, Gertrudo Went
worth passed two long hour?, falling ex
hausted upon a lounge, whero Mrs. Cresson
found her, white and weak.
"In pain again T." sho said tenderly re
moving tho dress and hat.
"Iu sore paiu, Aunt Lois. Ah, moi in
soro pain."
Hut sho rallied soon, and, bathing her face,
put on a soft white dress, and was her own
sweet dignified self wheu sho lO'Cntcrcd tho
drawing-room.' Stella had gono to drcs3 for
dinner, and thero was no mistaking the joy
of Frank Wrayman's face ns ho sprang for
ward lo meet his betrothed.
" My love," ho said, tenderly, aro you
rested i" Then, seeing tho quick pallor and
contraction of paiu in her face, ho brought
a low, solt chair to tho open window, and
mado her comfurtablo wlt!r"lla lover's
caro. '' ' "
" You undertook too much," ho said, in
geullo reproach. " Yotiaronotstrongenough
for such long journeys."
" You aro right. I will tako no more,"
was tho answer, and tho tnua was very sad.
But in a moment sho nsked, cheerfully, " Is
not Stella lovely ? I did not dream, when I
first saw her, that rest and happiness could
develop so much beauty in her face."
"She is very beautiful, and thero is a
rhildliks freshness about her that is very
fascinating."
" I lovo her already," Gertrude said. "Bo-
foro I dared to seo her, I asked about her,
and poor, friendless as slio appeared, every
body who know her had a kind word for
her. I believe she is as lovely in character
as in face,aud slio has improved every chance
lor education. Sho is really lar better in
formed than many graduates of fashionable
seminaries."
" You moan to love her," was tho smil
ing assertion.
" Yes, and you must help mo to make her
feel at home. It will bo new and strange
for it long tune. Promise mo you will bo
her good brother from to-day.('
" Most assuredly. But, Gerty, it grieves
ine to seo you bo pale. You aro not well V'
"No," half reluctantly, "not very well,
and the jotlrncy tired mo."
" With tho shopping."
" That was a necessity. Siclla knew noth
ing of New York stores. But wo did not
walk any."
Then they glided into lovers' talk till
Stella came down, very lovely iu u thin
black dress, with rullloa of soft wliilo laco
caressing tho slender lhro.it and wrists. 'Al
ready, as Gertrudo had said, thero was a
chatigo in the lovely fuce?a tinge of color in
tlio thin clueUju new in the soft brown
eyes. The beanmiiigilrH,lhoarningemeiit
of tho nut-brown hair in graceful fashion,
tho foW well ohosen ornamanU Gertrudn's
gift all added to this dawning beauty,
I ronk Wraymore, without ono throb ol'
disloyalty to his betrothed in his faithful
heart, acknowledged that ho had seen faw
maidens so fair and sweet as this new cous
in of Gertrr-de's, to whom ho was to be a
brother. And the impression deepened as
the erening wore away. Gertrude, whoso
pale face and languid eyes fully. Justified
her plea of fatigue, leaned back wearily, and
let Ihoso two bright young hearts find the
pleasure of congenial intercourse. For tho
first time sho hoard Stella's voice ring out
in a Joyous peal ef laughter over a brilliant
witticism of Frank's. Eortho first time she
heard her sing) hot Willi any marvellous
power of talent) but with a clear, sweet
voice, ns pleasing ns the carol on,bird.
The next day, and tho next, nnd every
dajyisthc hot weather sloloawoy Gertrude's
strength littlo by lllllo.these two were thrown
Into constant intercourse. By Gertrudo's
request, Frank taught Stella to ride upon
her-codsin'a own gentle horso, and n fasci
nating littlo horsewoman sho mode, in the
becoming habit provided for her, with tho
broad-brimmed hat shading hor lovely face.
Her Ufa was not altogether an Idlo ono, for
Gertrude called upon her often to aid her in
tho control of her largo ineomc,carcfulIy ex
plaining to her nil tho details of tho busi
ness nccessoiy for on hcires3..of largo wealth
to understand. Every day sho learned
something now of Gertrudo's charities, both
open and secret; of her caro for all depen
dentupon herenre orhcrcustom. Even tho
arrangement of wages and household sup
plies was fully explained to her, though Mrs.
Cressbn had long been solo housekeeper.
Yet every day found Frank nt .Went
worth Place for a morning drive, an after
noon, stroll, or an evening visit. Ho was
spending a few Idlo weeks, slolcn from ac
tive business life, and devoted to Gertrude.
But Gertrude enjoyed but litttoof his society.
There was ever some business, some excuse,
or that never feigned plea of ill health to
keep hdr In hor own room,during tho great
er part of every visit.
And while tho hoblo generous girl watch
ed o.'cr hor young cousin witli fondest care,
sho seemed strangely blind to the danger of
this constant intercourse between her bo
trothed and ono so beautiful nnd winsome
as Stella, strangely indifferent to tho fact
that Stella was learning fast that lesson that
opens every youthful hcaitto drink the joy
ous iufluence of nfii'ctlon.
No thought of faithlessness ever troubled
Frank. He know that Gottruilo was queen
of his inmost heart, and thero was no powor
to move her from her place. Iiu knew that
by love, and lovo alone, tlioy two wero firm
ly botiud for life, nnd ho sorrowed deeply
I'or tho falling health of his betrothed, hop
ing that cooler days would restore her
strength, and ho bo permitted to seo her
ngain as ho had before this prostrating wea
ther had so weakened her.
Yes, while Gertrudo was not to bo seen,
this fair cousin was surely tho sweetest of
comforters. It was no small part of her
charm, that sho gave such frank admiration
and worshipping lovo to Gertrude. If his
betrothed was invisible, it was surely conso
lation to Frank to talk over her manifold
perfections with so nn enthusiastic an ad
mirer ns Stella. And s,i they would talk of
Gertrude, and gliilo easily to other topics ns
innocent ns children in tho freedom of their
intercourse, and utterly ignorant of their
part in tho scheme of life that Geitrude had
planned. And' if Trank was winning a
place dangerously near the inmost shrine of
Stella's heart, sho was yet leal and true, nnd
would have sped away back to her old bun
djge, had ono thought of wrongingGertrudo
over entered her mind. But tho, coojer
weather, upon which Fran I; had built so
many Iiojics, brought no strength to Ger
trude. Every day tho fair, noble f.tco grew
moro spiritticllo in expression, moro p'irety
palo and tender. Every day tho .hours she
passed in the seclusion of her own room
wero longer, and traces of suffering deeper
when sho joined tho others.
Mrs. Cresson alone, nnd bound to scerosy,
knew of the tortures endured in those long
hours. Mrs. Crotsoii alone Know of the rare
ly perfect life fading slowly Vjut surely from
nil earth's cares and liappfncsBr 'sho nlone,
tho tender.loving aunt.who had given Gert
rado all she had over kuown of mother lovo,
knew .perfectly what Gertrudo hoped for
tho ruturc.
As physical suffering increased, ns the
hold ujion lifo grew Weaker. Gertrudo's
mental conflicts grew less ficquont and more
easily subdued. No longer she prayed wild
ly for resignation, for jierfcct resignation had
entered fully into her puro soul. No longer
sho besought Heaven to tako earthly lovo
from her heart, for already a Divino loyc
filled il. Moro saintly and lovely with
everyday that passed. vGcrlrudo was lifting
herself abovo earth's sufienug and affliction
by tho might of spiritual purification.
October had come, when Mrs. Cresson,
with a pallid faco und dim eyes, scut one
morning for a famous Now York doctor.
Gertrudo had been all night seated in an
arm-chair suffering tho most filghlful toi-
turo,but thero was cessation of pain, far moio
terrifying to her aunt than its continuance,
Already upon tho pure, noblo faco was felt a
seal strangely solemn.
Even Slella from whom tha worst had
been carefully hidden, knew that there was
a new light, not of tin's earth, In Gertrudo's
bluo eves. Sho had coma in with some la'.o
fruit heaped upon a plate, but she put It
down quickly, and, with a strangoawoupott
her face, drew near her cousin's chair.
"You aro very, very IUV" sho faltored
with tears in her eyes.
" No dear; I am better. I have not been
freo from pain for many mouths; now I
havo no pain."
" You aro better, then 7" Yet hesitating.
as if too doubtful to be jyous,cvcn with this
assurance.
"Iam better. Boon, very soon, I shall be
quilo Well I"
And yet, Stella groped her way from tho
rooni, blind with tears, unnbje to cgnlrol nn
agitation sho dared not let her cousin seo. .
Just a little later the doctor came, and
when ho left the patient, 'MrsCfeneoniif
tern few words, low tpnkcn, led him to a
room where Frank Wrayupiro wolled.and
left 111 m with him. An hour usseil before
he came nut and drove to tho railway station
Mrs. Cresson watched him leavo tho ave-1
nue apd went softly In the room he had left, j
No sound name to her listening ear fur n long
time, then one long shivering moan, like a
suppretMiI cry (pSLicndurabhi agony, was!
hennl. Sho -tefapway iijjaiii, but itwvs,
still Imij Vefcra. r-iuk Wrsymurs pfld
the door.
When h& came fare was 'hat of a
man who hod lotnVi.tTfrtlie last lime upon
theipiemo hope of liTa lib. N. t only tho
rigid tension of every feature, the liy .
lor even of his lips, but the unutterable dec :
pair lu his eyes, told of a blow newly sirick-
en that shook his manhood to lis core. j
Mrs. Cresson met biui befoic hooroMed'
the ball.
" Can I sea Gertrude ?" he asked,
"She Is walling for you. Out, Frank, you
must bo very calm. Any excitement how
may bo Immediately fatal."
Great beads of agony started on the man's
brow, but ho spoko steadily.. "I will not
ogilato hcr.'J .
A'nd ncvcT had ho provfd his Ipve mors
truly than In tlio calmness of til greeting,
tho iron will crushing down eyery expres
sion of Ills deep misery to spare her one
pang.
Sho was seated .in her arm-chair, dressed
In while, her golden hair loosely brushed
from tlid fair angello laco. As her love.r
camo In she held out both hands, and w-i
gathered lujo. his.nus.ln. a close embrace,
that scclncd too strong for even death to un
clasp. ,
Only loving murmurs broka the silence
for some moments, then Frank, fearing the
effect of excitement, gently put tho wasted
form back against tho pillows of tho chair,
and slid kneeling besido It, his whllo face
lifted in an agony of loving fear.
"Oh, my darling!" ho whispered, "why
havo you hidden this from too?"
Tho low, sweet voice never wavered as
Gertrudo answered. ''Only because I loved
you, Frank. Only for love's sake I"
" But I might havo helped you I"
" Dearest, I know there was no earthly
help for me, early in tho spring. It was &.
blow to bear, Frank ; I was so young I Life
looked so fair to me, so doubly sweet when
I loved you I I was rebellious for n long
time, but I havo learned submission."
" How can I givo you up?" ho moaned,
caressing tho shadowy whlto hand.
" I leavo you a sweet comforter. Have
you not guessed, Frank, why I havo left you
with Stolla?"
"Gertrudo I You cannot think I love any
but you I"
'" Darling, no I I know that every throb
of your heart is truo to mo. But had you
known of this fatal disease, you would havo
so tended me, so pitied me, so loved me, my
own, that to givo mo up then, would hare
been like wrenching lifo itself from you. I
know that I I know that eyery thought of
mo is loving. And so,deorest, to make part
ing easier, I havo drawn away from you
littlo by littlo and put Stella In my placo."
"She is a gentle, loving child, but she can
never fill your place, Gerlrude."
"Nor do I wish it. Keep one niche in
your memory sacred for me,yourspirit wife.
But in the future, when, not forgetting me,
yon nro comfortable, remember it is the dear
est wish of my heart that you love Stella.''
Then they talked long and earnestly of
that future they had hoped toBhare. Already
Frank knew that Stella would be horcousin's
heiress, but for tho fust time ho was told of
tho loving, careful training that had been
given to fit her for her future cares.
"Mrs. Cresson will live hero whllo Stella
remained .slijgle," Gertrudo said, "When
Stella marries, my aunt will go tp tho house
I havo willed to her with a sufficient in
