."Hush! it in Clarence Hyde's step!"
And Rosa Eldon sprung to her feet
rosy and umiling.witb. tho freshly plucked
heliotrope trembling' Bmorjg tier glossy
browu braids, and her pretty blue dress
floating round her like nu nznre cloud.
Only eighteen, nnd very fair nnd love
ly was our liltle .Ilosn n trifle spoiled
nnd willful, perhaps, but what else could
one expect? Every one petted nnd made
much of her every ouo omilcrt nt her
pretty kittenish ways and Clarence
Hyde thought her the fairest specimen of
feminine humanity tbnt over the sun
shone out
Lizzie Eldon mads room for her sister,
Lizzie, justoue year younger, ami scarce
ly less fair, yet Tery different in charac
ter. Lizzie was quiet, nnd page, nnd de
mure, whilo Rosa rallied nway like a
merry mountain stream flowing over its
mosiy stones. Lizzy thought her sister
perfection, while Ilosn Wan alwtys lec
turing Lizzie in a capricious fnshian,nnd
hying down the law to her after the most
approved mauner of elder sisters.
How nice it must be to be engaged!"
said Lizzie, with n half encouraging
smile, ns Rosa pansrd at tbo glass to ad
just her hair. "I wish I were engaged!"
'Yon? Oh, yon are nothing bnt n
child," Rosa said, patronizingly. "There
givo me my pocket-hnndkerchltfl"
And away sho went, light nnd lithe as
a bloe-winged butterfly.
Clarenco Hyde was in the parlor, anx
iously awaiting her coming, but Clarence
bad rather a. disturbed face. Ha was n
well-made, handsome young fellow, with
laughing wine-brown eyes, straight fea
tures, and brown hair thrown back from
a broad, frank brow.
'Why, what makes you look so sober?"
was Itosa'a first arch question, when the
ceremonials of greeting were gone
through with, and abo bad had time to
take a good look into bis face.
"SoVer? Do I?"
Ho to playing rather restlessly with
tho crimson cord, that looped back tho'
white mnslin draperies of the pretty bay
window that made) Sirs. Eidou's cottige
look like one of the lovely rttstto habita
tions you see in old English engravings.
'Exactly as if yon had the toothache
or a bad conscience."
Clarence laughed in spite of himself.
"You arc wrong, then, my little riddle
gnesser; I am nfilicted with neither the
one nor the other."
"Well, what is it, then?"
"Rnsi, what should yon say if it were
to become neceuiary to defer oar mar-
ringo for some time?"'
A hhadow came over tV e infantine bloom
and freshness of Rosa's face.
"To defer our mnrringe, Clarence? I
can't imagino what you mean."
"Liiten, Rosa, and I will tell yon. My
uncle has just come from Calfoinia very
poor, and a confirmed invalid. I am bis
only surviving relative, and to mo bo
naturally appeals for protection and com.
panionhhip. I must give him a home,
llssa! You know I had laid npjnst enough
to begin houi.ekeeping in a quiet, econ
omical sort of way, but this now pl.u
will necessarily cllar all my arrange,
menls,"
"I never beard of any nncle before."
"No, dearest; Ikuow very little of 1 im
nothing personally, as be never visited
my father during his life-time."
Rosa's face was tnrned away from Clar.
ence Hyde's; she was silently twisting a
bit of paper round and round her (lender
fort fingers..
"llcsa," he said, after waiting a min
ute or two for lur to make svine remark
"tell ine honestly, dear one, which wonld
you prefer to begin housekeeping on
this new scale one humbler and more
frugal then I bad originally hoped and
intended or to defer our marriage nnlil
I can earn enough to carry out those
original arrangement.'"
She was silent for a moment, theu rbe
answered, in a voice which seamed to chill
Clarence's buoyant young heart:
"Neitherl"
"Eosa," he exclaimed, "I do not nn.
derstand you!"
"I spoke plainly enough. Neither!"
"Oo yon mean that "
"I mean that yon must either give np
your uuolo or rue. After all that has bun
said and known ?f rnr engagement, afler
its pnblloity and length, I crrtaiuly can.
not consent to its further postponement.
And we shall be poor enongh, if we marry
Immediately, without filling our honse
with a host of needy relatives."
Clarence Hyde looked at his fair fiance
In perfect amazement. Never In the
whole course of their urqualnlnncu hnd
lie seen this phase of her character. He
had funded her all tbnt was swert, pure
nnd womanly. Could it be posslblo that
he was cold-hearted, selfish, and dead to
all the aweet ties of natnre?
"ilosu," ho said, moiirulnlty, "is this
to part us?"
"It is for yon to say."
"Do yon wish mo to giro np my poor,
dependent uncle?"
' Either him or me," Rosa answered
indifferently.
"It will be bard very hard, for me to
lay aside the brightest wishes of my life,'
be suiil, earnestly, "bnt Rosa, duly Is my
first object. I cannot leave my uncle to
wear out his few remaining days in pov
irty aud solitude.''
"Vrv well," answered Roaa, carelessly
stooping to pick np the odorous purple
blossom which hnd fallen from her hair,
' theu wo will consider our engagement
dissolved."
"And yon can giro me up so leadily,
Rosa?"
"Oh," said Rosa, a little Impatiently,
"where's the use of being romanlloabont
it? You bavo chosen your part, I have
chosen mine. So let it be!''
Clarence Hyde took his leave, dejected
enough, It is not pleasant to set np a
fair idol, nnd worship it with all the
strength and tenderness of your nature,
only to find, after all, that it is dust and
ashes hollow-hearted and falsel
Calhbert Hyde sat smoking his brier
wood meerschaum bv the open window
as Clarence entered a square, shrewd
lookinglittlo old man.witb deeply-seamed
wrinkles on his brow, nnd restless.spark
ling eyes gleaming like live coals beneath
bis shaggy brows.
"Clarence, my boy, something bas gone
wrong," be said, brusquely, after be had
regarded bis nrphew in silence for awhile.
"Tell the old nnole what it is."
"I have told yon abonl Rosa Eldon, tir
well, she nnd I are iu fact, it is all
over between usl" ,
"Engagement broken, eh? Past the
power of patching np?"
"Yes, unclel"
"And it was on my nocsunt? ITny.boy,
don't turn away I can read the truth in
your eyes. So she's played you false?
"We are parted, uncle is not tbot
enough?"
"Well, perhaps so perhaps so! It was
well you found her out in time, Clarence.
It's for the best, roy boy."
Clarence Hyde was passing down the
Tillage street a day or two subsequently,
toward dusk of a mellow Angnst evening,
when a slight form glided Up to him nnd
a tremulous band was laid upon bis own,
Ho started ut first, but quickly recog
nized the face and figure,
-Lizzie Eldon!'
"Oh, Clarence, I could not rest with
out telling yon how very, very wrong I
thought Rosa, nnd how very sorry I am
for yon."
"Thanks, Lizzie. I do not think she
has treated mo exaotly right."
Lizzie burst into tears.
"How could she be so cruel-so un-
wotnanl)? Yon were right, Clarence you
acted nobly! I think Rosa wiltone day
live to repent it."
As Clarenco stood there listening to
Lizzie Eldon's impelnous words and
holding ber soft little hand in his own,
he wondored that be had never before
notlccd how very, very protty she was
a softer, more subdued style of beauty
than Rosa's yet not less bewitching in its
way.
Tbey haunted him oll'tho night long,
that oval, earnest face, those swimming
blue eye's!
Day by day Rosa's image waxed fainter
and more faint in his memory, nnd Liz
zie's shy, gentle looks grew more eyer
present in his heart.
"I do believe I've fallen in love with
the girl," he thonght. "I wonder what
she would nay If I were to proiose to
her?"
Next to the wonder came its rralizi
linn. One fine October day, when they
had strayed a little away from I lie gay
nutting parly, whose voices made tbe
old yellow-leaved woods mu.ical, Mr,
Hyde asked Lizzie Eldou if she wonld
accept tbo love her sinter had slighted,
uud Lizzie, smiling and trembling ds
wered yes!
"You see, Uncle Culbbert," said Clar
ence, eagerly, ns be explained tbe new
position of nif.iirs to biB uncle that eve.
niog, nfttr bo bad safely escorted Lizzie
home, with her basket of uuls only half
filled vaud nu wonder, all things cou
sldered) ! "it will be so pleasaut ! We
shall all live together, and Lizzie says
she will love you dearly, Lizzie is such
a famous little housekeeper! She thinks
it will be so pleasant to have you silling
by onr bearth-stnue! Aud, uncle, Tin
will go to see ber to-morrow, won't you?'
"Y.s," said Uncle Cuthbcrt, briefly,
"I'll go!"
A;d the next day Lizzie was surprised
nt her fen lug by a brown-faced little old
man, who abruptly took both. her hnnds
in his, aud imprinted a kiss rpon her
crimsoning forehead, just as if he were
the oldest acquaintance iu tbe wcrlu!
"So you're going to mrry my nephew,
Lizzie, are yon?" said Uncle Cnthbert.
"Yes, sir," Lizzie made answer, tim
idly.
"And you love him, Lizzie?"
"Ob, yes, kir!"
"And you won't object to having tbe
old man lumbering round tbe bouse,
helpless and feeble though be bt?"
"I shall be so glad to have you live
with ns, sir, for I never remembered my
father and and you will be like one to
me, I am sure,"
"Uucle Cnthbert kissed ber again, and
walked away as abruptly as be had come
"lie's a very funny old ytntl.roau,'
thought Lizzie, "but I know I shall like
him."
Rosa contemplated the present slate of
affairs Very coolly a little oontemptu
nnsly, In fact.
"If yon choose to adopt allCltrence
Hyde's poor relations, why, I can only
wouder at yonr taste." said she. loftily,
lint Lizzie only smiled, nnd donbtcd
to herself whether Rosa eonld ever have
really loved Clirence.
"No, no, not" ochoed her heart
Tho doy of the wedding drew nenr.
Lizz'e's wbite dress was nearly finished,
aud modest little presents were beginning
tn be sent in Irom friends nnd neigh
bors.
"Here's my present," said Uncle Cnlh
bett, walking in ono day nnd tossing a
little box of carved wood Into L'zzie'a
lap. "I cnt out those wooden flowers
myself when I was in Ctlifornin."
"Oh, uncle, what a dear little box "
said Lizzie, smiling her bright thanks.
while Rosa eluvntoit her nose rather
scornfnlly,
"Well, but open It; it's lined beauti
fully," persisted the old man.
Lizzie obeyed.
"Why, tberu'x a parchment chart in it,
uncle," cried tbe astonished Clarence,
who was leaning over Lizzie's shoulder.
"Of course Ihere is n deed making over
toOOOOto Lizzie Eldon, the diy of ber
marriage," answered Uncle Culhbort,
dryly, "and I'vo got just another ono for
yon, nt home, Clsrrnce, my boyl Ahal
the old uncle wpsn't nn very povcrtv-
stricken, after all. You mustn't think
my youug lady,' he added, turning ab
ruptly to Rosa, "that gold isn't gold, bo
cause it's a trifle tusly and tarnished.
Appearances aren't everything in this
worldl"
And so Clarence and Lizzie began the
world with tbe fairest of prospects, and
true love enough to float the bark of life
into its sweeten haven.
Rosa Eldon was somewhat chagrined
in ber secret soul, bnt she wisely kept
her feelings to herself, and old Uncle
Culhbert was qnlts satisfied with the
choice his nephew had made.
"She's worth twice o hundred thous
and dollars in her own sweot self, Clar
ence," be said, .confidentially, to Mr.
Hyde, Junior.
HE LOST HIS MEMORY.
He had asked the man in tbe seat be
hind him for a ohew of fine-cut, and af
ter stuffing half tbe contents of the box
Into bis month he bad put the box itself
into his pocket. When reminded of this
ho replied:
"Bless ma bless met Why, so I didl
Hope yon won't take offence, sir, for I
had entirely forgotten it. Dear mel but
I find fresh evidence every day that I am
not what 1 used to be. I see that I am
losing my memory.
"That's too bad, "said tbe other, "now
long havo you been thus afflicted?"
"Exactly thirteen years ago to-day."
"Did some accident happen to yon
then?"
"Accident! Bless yon, my dear sir it
was a terrible thing. I was hung by a
mob."
"Is that so? I don't want to be Im
pertinent, but I should like to hear about
it."
"Certainly no impertinence nbont
that. I was in Denver. Mr business
there was to sell pianos and organs. One
day I called at a house to see nbont the
sale of a piano, and I found the lady
murdered iu the hall. While I was stand
ing there, horror struck and terrified,
several parties came np, acensed ma of
the deed, and iu ten minutes a mob bad
a rope aronnd my neck, I was dragged
to a tree, civen two minutes to pray, nnd
then polled up."
"Hnng bvthe neck?"
"Yes, a regular hangman's noose; and
the end of tbe rope was ruado fast aud I
was left swinging.''
"Oreat Soottt and - and bnt yon did
n't die?"
"I dunno," softly nnswered the piano
man. "I date my loss of memory from
the minute tbey began pulling on tbe
rope. Ferbaps I was cut down nod re
suscitated- pirhapstbe corpse was taken
out nnd buried. As I told you before,
my memory baa sadly failed me."
Tbe other puzzled over it, blew his
nnso, got red in tbe face, and finally
blurted out:
"Suy, mister. I believe you are a gi
gantic, cousarned liar!"
"Like as not like as not!"' blandly re.
plied tbe piano man. "When a man's
memory begins to fill be may bit tbe
truth or be may lie just as it happens.

A stranger who after having made a
purchase of a small article of clothing of
a New York dealer n few days ago, grew
somewhat confidential with tbe salesman,
who it appears was the'jiroprietnr of the
es'ablisbment, and said be would like
some advice:
"Vbell. go nheadt."
"If you were In my plaoa and wanted
to go into business here wonld yon lend
yonr money and live on tbe interest, or
wonld go into tbe second-band clothing
bnlnet?"
"My frenil," replied o'br. with a
serious look on his face, "let at tela yon
ahnst like a ladder. Don't go into the
second-band persness yourself, but lend
me yonr money and you peeome a sileud
partner."
"Are tbe profits large?-
"Large! How much you dinks I made

lars? I makes sbnst twelve shillings."
