A TI1IY SHOE.
Tlio fnuml him by tho roadside, dead,
A rugged tramp, unknown)
His faeo upturned In inuto despair,
His helpless armsout-lhrown.
The lark above hi in sang his song
Of greeting to ll.o clay,
Tho bneze blow fresh nnd swccl.nnd stirred
His hair in wanton play.
They found no clew to hon.o cr name,
Hut tied with ribbon bluo
They found a package, and it held
A baby's tiny shoe.
Half worn nnd old, a button off,
It seemed a sacred thing;
Willi reverence, tl.ey wrapped il close,
And lied the faded string.
And laid it on the peaceful breast
That kept the secret well;
Aud God will know and understand
The story It will tell
Of happy limes nnd peaceful homo
Thai dead tramp Eotnetimo knew,
Whoso only relic Iclt him was
That tiny baby's shoe.
A Noble Heart.
I bad done wroup; about ono thing
Neither of tLeold folks knew that I woro
Evau Locke's ring in my bosom, or that
we bad taken n vow to cnqlj otber beside
tbo buwtbolu that grew in tbo chnrcb
I.tue. .1 never meant to deceive, but
granny was old aud alitlle bard, aud that
love of mine was Mich n sweet secret.
All this lime Ev.ui Locke and I Unit
bcti. na loud ns ever of each other, and
ho enmo as olteu as before to talk with
grandpa in the vinter nights; nnd htill
evtry litllo while our young landlord,
Scjuno Turner, would stop in nnd sit in
his l.izy wny watching mo leujt or spin.
I could not help Lis comii g nor help
rering blm wlmu ho Clime, IV. id I did not
deserve that Evan should bo angry with
me; but he was, and we lad some hard
woriK
Well, Lrnn was wroth with rue nnd I
with Mm- not heart.deen, though, I
thought and I did not see him lor more
thou n week.
Hut one night grandfather came home
from n lonely ride, and shutting the door
slood between grandma and me, looKing
nt me, nnd so lory strangely that o
both btcaaio frightened. At length be
spoke:
' Squire Turner ntlted mo for this lass
of ours to-night. Of all tbo women in
the world there in but one he loves as
lie should bis wife, nud that woman is
our Agatha,"
Then qrnndp.i talked to me. Ho told
ma bow poor they bad grown and how
kind tho njniro wny, nnd I had but to
marry him to rualto my grandparents
Irio from debt nnd poverty their lives
thioiigb. If I refused nnd vexed tbo
quire, heaven culv knew what might
happen.
Ahiitwai bard to bear bitter bard;
but now there uns no help for it. I tool;
the ring Horn my bosom nud Inid it on
my palm nnd told him it was Evan
L-eke's, and tint I had plighted my
troth to bnu. Aud oraudma called mo n
deceitful wtncli, nud grandfather looked,
ns though his heart would break.
Ono day grandpa said to me: '-It seem
that roar sweetheart is not overfond of
you. or over-noxious to see you."
"Why not?" said I.
"Where has ho beeu this month back?"
"Husv, doubtless."
"Perhaps you know nil nbont it," said
grandmi. "Yon are going along with
him, maybe.'
"When?" mid I.
Sho went to the kitchen door nnd
beckoned in a woman who sat there
Djme Coombs who bad just come over
tfitli some eggs.
"I heard you rightly." she said. "Yon
told tne Even Locke nnd bis mother were
making'reody for n voyage."
"They're going to Canada. Jly son, a
carpenter aud n good one, though I say
it ruado the doctor a box for his things.
Tho old lady drwidsrtlio 'now country,
but sho goca for tho doctor's sake,'
There's money to bo made there, they
say. That's what takes them."
"dive me whom you will, then, since
my own lovo does not want me,"
So days rolled by nnd I was close on
my marriage cvo, nnd granny nnd Doro.
thy Plume wcro busy with my wedding
robes, I wished it was my abroad they
were working at instead.
And onr night the pain in my heart
grew too great, nnd I went nut among
the purple heather on the moor, and
there knet down uuder the stare nnd
prayed .to be taken from this world
"For how can I live without Evan?" I
said.
I spoke tbo words aloud, and then
started up in affright, for there, nt my
jside, was a little elfish figure, nnd I heard
n cry that nt first I sonroly thought
earthly. Yet it was but Scotch Jeume,
who had followed me?
MWI.v .In ,, -oil l,.

n she. said. "You sent blm frae ye
1 fjr the sako o' tho youug bqnlro.''
"What do you menu?" tnld I.
"I'll speak, giu I Iom) my place," said
Jennie, "I rodo with tho mistress to
young Dr. Locke's placo past the moor,
and thero sbo 'lighted nnd gnvo him n
ring, which turned blm tbo tint of death;
and said he, "Thcre'ij uae n drop o true
Maid iu n weman, gin she is false,' end
bo tinned to tho wall and covered bis
eyen, nnd your grnuny rodo home.
There, 'lis nil I ken."
Aud then I fell down at her feet like a
stone. I knew nctbiug for nn hour or
ruore. but then, when I was better aud
they left mo with Jennie, I budo her
fetch my hood nnd cloafs and her own
and como with me, nnd away I wei.t
across tho moor iu the starlight towhofdi
tho hall wiudows were ablaze with llRUt'
nnd nskoi lbs housekeeper to let tue sec
the squire.
bhe stared nt mo for my boldness no
wonder but called him. So in a mo
ment he stood before mo iu evening
drew, with his cheeks Hushed and his
ejes bright, and led mo iuton little room
nnd senlcd me.
"Agatha ,my lovo.I hope uo mischanco
brings you here?" ho bcc.au. '
lint I stopped him, I went back lo
the first and told him nil.
"And though I would never see Evan
Locko ngatn," said I, "still I cau never
bo auothcr man's Irtio love, for I am his
nutil I die."
Then, as I looked, all tbo rich color
faded out of tho sqntie'd face, and I saw
tho bight tq seldom ceo more (bun once
iu a lifetime a strong mau iu tears.
Aud theu, kind and gentle ns though I
had hot grieved him, bo gavo me his arm
and kiw mo across tho moor, and at tho
goto paused and whispered:
"lio nt rest, Agatl-n; tbo Canadian
ship Goldeu George has not sailed yet."
Kb! lint ho Aits lit to be a king tho
grandest, kindest, test of living men,
who rode awny villi the break of the
monow, nnd fouud Evan Locke just
rotdy to set foot upon tho Golden
George, and told blm a lulu that made
his heart light nnd sent him back to me.
Heaven bless bini!
And who was it that sent grandfather
the deed of gift that made the cottage
his own, nud spoke a kind word to the
gentry for young Dr. Lock'o that helped
him into practice? Still no ono but
Squire Turner, whom wo taught our
children to pruy for every night.

THE MODEM RUTH.
Dr. Alexander Androver threw himself
iulo the big leather-covered chair before
his oflico fire with a weary sigh, Ho was
a flno-lookine mau of SO; not handsoino,
but noble nud ruauly-lookiiig oue lo bo
trusted forever, with his broad, white
brow nnd grave, clear, oiny ryes. Ills
lips, too, under tho fnlt brown beard
were as flno ns woman's; without licking
in strength nnd firmness.
Dr. Audrover's was one of those grand,
l.ludly natures which seem mule for
lenders aud comforters.' But lata had
Htely frowned upon him. Tho hank In
which tho gt eater part of bis snug llttlo
fortune fras deposited had failed, and
directly upon this came tbo news that
some mining stock iu which he hid iu
vested was worthless, or nearly to. Thi
doctor did not fear poverty himself his
practice brought blm n comforlable in
come, for the rich npprecinted blm ns
well as tho poor but milts nlvay In n
distnnt city thero was a lovely girl whom
he had hoped to call his wifo by Christ
mas lime. A girl who, though not
wealthy herself, had beeu extravagantly
educated by her nncle, iu whote luxuri
ous home sho lived. Ho bad never ques
tioned If sho knew anything nbout work
the idea in connection with Slaud Ev
erlelh was absurtl. Ha must givo her
up; thero was no doubt iu his mind
about that. He could not ask her to
share tho fate of it poor physician who
depended upon his fees for a living.
So Dr. Androver had written her n
bravo farewell letter just a mouth beforo
tho tlmeset for their wedding, informing
her of his altered fortunes, nnd lelcaslng
her, Irom her engagement to blm, nnd Lo
had received uo nuswer, although it was
now Christmas week. Ho experienced a
crncl senso ol desolation. Jlautl had not
loved him, after r 11.
The office fire smoldered to ashos, aud
till he sut there, still and sad, until
from sheer exhaustion he fell into an
nncnsy slumber. About midnight bo
awoke, alternately burning nud sbiyeriug
while a dull pain throbbed in his tem
plet; and when Lis landlady came in the
morning to call him sho found bins nn-
able to nso from his pillow, feverish aud
half deliricus.
Maud had returned tho engagement
rlug.' Dr. Audioyer received the pack
age in silence, and Mrs. Derby looked at
him with a crestfallen expressiou.
"I thought you would bo pleased, doc
tor. I've come to kuow Miss Everleth's
handwritings you see, and I supposed
she bad sent you a Christmas present,
Tho package came two das ago when
you wero delirious, and I signed tbo reg
istry card nnd made bold to send the
lady a telegram, notifying her of your
illness. I received n ti Ingram in return
stntiug that Miss Everleih would start at
once lo como to you. Showill probably
be hero to-day."
"To-daj!" Dr. Audrover listened to
kind Mrs. Deiby iu bowildennt. What
did it nil mean?
Christmas morning camo bright nud
frost j a day after SI. Nicholas's own
heart and tbo dsclor, a trifla betler, al
though woik aud languid, npoued his
eyes lo olosu them again immediately
with a little pang. 'Uns was lo have
been his wedding day.
Tho landlady, who had been liko n
molhcr to bim, camo in presently with a
very smiling expression upon her broad
face.
Many of his gralefnl patients had re
membered lura with some little Christ
mas token, and Mrs. Derby bad placed
tbftu upon tho slaud nt bis bedside, but
now the held iu her bauds a small pack-
ago addresi-ed to him in a familiar lady's
baud and registered iu a dlstaut city
With trembling fingers he tore off the
wrapper of the tiny package, and opened
a jewelers case. Thero upon its bed of
purplo lay a wide, gold finger ring, ex
traordinarily wide, tbo inside of which
was completely covered with fine letter
ing. Aud Dr. Androver read there the
graud old scriptural words which bad
arisen in tho 'heart of the girl, who thus
proved herself worthy of blm, when his
letters had como lober after many weary
diys of delaj ;
Eutrent me not to letve tbeo. or return
from following niter tLee; lor whither
thou goest I will go, and where thou
lodget I will lodge; thy people sbuii be
my peoplo, aud thy God my God; where
thou diest I will die, nnd there will I be
buried; tho Lord to do so to me and
moro ulo if aught but doalli part me nud
thee.
It was neatly noon when Mand herself
came. Sho bad removed her wraps iu
Mrs. Derby's room, nud after a light tap
on tho sick man's door sho entered.
Alsxauder Androver had thonubt her
lovely lu her exquisite party nud carriage
nnd home toilets; but ueyer bad bhe
seemed so sweet and gracious nnd wo
manly t.a now, when in her plain gray
traveling costume, her lovely fnco a 11.
tie, pale with wanness and cxollemeut,
her mouth tremulous, nnd her dark eyes
glowing with solemn light, bho glided iu
her swift, noiseless way acrosi the room
to his side.
"My d-irliiig! My own sweet, true
hearted darliugl" cried the doctor.clasp.
iug both his arms about her aud drawing
her fco down to his own.
Aud presently, after the first greeting
was over, Maud exclaimedi
"Your letter was delayed in aonia wny.
I did not get it until a week ago. You

Well, wheu I got your letter I took that

Dr. Audrover smothered tbo last word
against bis shoulder, and. as soon as sho
could free herself from his nucereuioni
ous embraces she began ahow to coax and
whecdlo him luto somo uor plan of her

finally yielded. Tho result was that n
5 o'clock that nltetnoon Maud Everleih
was made Dr, Aloxaudtr Audrover's

A HIDE WITH A 1IAHIAC.
Gr.tco Allison wan seated In her cozy
little boudoir, plunged Iu a dreamy
revicne.
Howard Sinclair! Yes; 1 lova him
truly and devotedly. Leounrd Tubaro
sjys that Howard cares only fur my
money. Hut, pshaw ! what a goose 1 am!
As 11 Howard nould be bo mercenary.''
So saying, Grace roso and leit the
room to dress for her ride with Mr. Tu-
bare."
Gay and smiling, Graco stepped into
the carriage, and they wero soondasbiuft
along tbo smooth road, drawn by the
proud.stepping bays. Ou their way
they passed Howard Sinclair, whose
honest face clouded over with pain and
anger as he beheld the Italian's evil faeo
bending over Grace with a look ot con
scious triumph.
Grace suddenly perceived that Tnbare
was driving toward nu unfrequented
part of tbo woods, nnd.seiziDg tho reius,
hhe cried.
Mr. Tnbare, what does this mean?
Wbtro are you taking me? This Is not
the road to the nark! Turn back, sir, I
com maud you!"
A wild, mocking langli was bis only
answer, ami obeying the yoico of their
master tho beautilul bays sprang forward
with lightning, speed.
Turning to tha terrified girl, who eat
speechless by his side. .Leonard, hissed
through bis clenched teeth:
Ah, bal I hnye yon now, my birdie!
Knowebt thou, I am Ferdinand, king of
Spain, nnd thou shall bo my Isabella!
Hero is our palnco' My queen alight,''
and as Giacie, utterly incapablo of ac
tion, moved not, the unduiau seiz3d her
and boro her quickly into the old.desert
ed house, which bad' long homo the
name of tbo Haunted Grauere," nnd,
touching n spring In the well, disclosed
to viow a narrow nperlure, leading to a
llight of bleep blone steps.
Quickly descending them, ho nt last
reached n cell, iu which ho placed th
unoouscious girl nnd left, nftcr having,
wnu njbaiie cuuning, removed overy
arlielo with which she lnlgtit defend her
sels.
When Graco recovered from tho deer
swoon into whlcb she had fallen, nt first
sho could not remoaiber wbero she was.
but, ns a rtalizition of berterriblo situa
tiou Hashed over her, she laised her
band s iu mnto despair nud Bank iu
apathy upou the cold stone lloor.
The grating of the key iu tbo rnsty
lock aroused her, and springing to her
feet, Cir.ico confronted Tubare with
calm, fixed gaze, which caused him to
quiver and writhe as if under the lullu-
cuce of boms superior power. For an
Instant they stood thus, theu, suddeulv
recovering himself, Tubare darted for
ward nnd cried:
"Fair Isabella! Hal my wlfel my own
forever! '
"Never!" shrieked Grace. "Howard
Sinclair! Howard! help! help! belli!"
As her agonized cry rang tbrouch the
vaulted chamber nnd out into tbo corri
dor beyond, a scuffling sound, nsof men
uurryiug aown mo tlone steps, was
heard, and n yoico cried:
"Courage, Grace! succor Isat band!"
Y itb u yell of defiance, as of a wild
beast brought to bay, Tnbare rushed
npou Grace, 11 SpanUb dagger gleaming
iu his uplifted hand, Oao instant be
pained, and then Howard Sinclair
sprang into the cell iu time to catch
tho faiutlpg Grace, while the officers
suoceedod, after a desperafe-struggle, in
securing the rnauiac.
tor week1 nnd months Grrce's life
hung by a thread; but when once more
the light of reason returned to tho sweet
blue eyes Grace Allison's beautiful gold
en hair, was as while as snow,
Howard Sinclair petitioned an early
day for their marriage, nnd one sunny
morning iu Juno beheld Grace Sinclair
start on her bridal tour.
Leonard Tubaro soon n'tcr died in
stoug couvulsions, and thus freed Grace
from the terrible feeling of insecurity
which had clung to her while Tubare
was alive.
