Ten thousand dollars Is a margin that's di

there's only nine.
The broker says! "Just ns I thought, let's
smile' and call It fntc.
Rlte'll bloom again," but bloom she tloa't by
three o'clock It's eight.
They take the drink, say "egad," and put
their mist In Heaven,
And watch the market slump and slump un
til there's only seven.
They spread reports and rumors atart.sprlns
all the well-known tricks,
But "nary good," with heavy hearts they see
It drop to six.
Faint and sad and sorrowful and hardly halt
nllve.
The little lamb beholds the stake reduced to
only Ove.
He says that Wall street Is a fraud, votes cv-
rrylhlnp; a bore,
And thinks he'll quit qulto satisfied to get
uway with four.
Now, mad with rage, ho wildly swears tho
broker he will sue;
The broker smiles a ghastly smile, the mar
gin drops to two.
They wait some more, but O, alas! before
the day Is done
The bears get In their fiendish work, and
down it flops to one.
Disconsolate he kicks, and says tho racket
takes the bun.
He's busted flat lor word Is brought of mar"

INVESTMENT.
"EIslcl"
Walter Ilartman's tone of sorrowful
amazement made his young wife spring
hastily to her feet. She had not heard
him come in, and was kneeling beside a
great arm-chair, sobbing as if her heart
would break.
"Oh, Walter!" she said, "Aunt Julia
" and a fresh burst of 6obs Inter
rupted her.
Walter's face cleared. It was not sor
row of her own, then, that overwhelmed
this pretty, bluc-cyed darling ho had
married six months before.
"Well, Elsie," he said, taking her in
his arms aud caressing hiT, "what about
Aunt Julia? Do not sob so, dear; you
will make yourself ill."
"The Ore!" said Elsie, keeping her
sobs somewhat more under control.
"You know I was very much worried
when I heard of It, for I could not tell by
the papers whether Aunt Julia's house
was in the burnt district or not."
For the great Chicago fire was not a
week old, and tho whole country watched
for news.
"Well, dear," said Walter, kindly.
"It is as bad as it can be, Walter.
Aunt Julia writes to me that her houso
was totally destroyed, her very clothing
burned up, and her insurance papers
not entirely made out. She is absolute
ly without anything in the world except
the clothes she had on. Actually fed by
charity. Oh, Walter!"
Here the sobs came again, thick and
fast, and Walter could offer no comfort
but such as was conveyed by silent
caresses. After a time these were so far
effectual that Elsie could speak more
calmly.
"Now, little one," Walter said, "tell
me why this troubles you so sorely? Do
you love your aunt so very dearly?"
"She has been everthlng a mother
could be to me since my parents died,
Walter. But while I was with her we
were very poor. Out of her own scanty
means she fed, clothed and educated me
until I took the situation of nursery
governess to your aunt's children, and
married you. But just before wo were
married, an old friend of Aunt Julia's
died in Chicago, and left her ten thou
sand dollars. When she went to claim
her legacy, she saw the bouse she pur
chased, and liked it so much she bought
it, her legacy covering the cxpenso of
house, lot and furniture, whUohcrown
little income would support her. But,
unfortunately, she was persuaded to
draw out her tiny fortune and Invest it
In two lota adjoining her house. Now
everything is swept away."
"She took care of you when you were
a child?"
"For seventeen years, Walter, deny
ing herself to feed and clothe me."
Walter did not speak again for many
minutes, holding Elsie close in his arms.
At last he said, very gravely:
"If I were a rich man, Elsie, I would
not stop to think in a case like this, but j
say at once 'Bring your aunt here.' But I
you know, little wife, my salary, though I
sufficient for all our wants, with a mar-!
gin foi pleasure and saving a nest-egg,
is yet not large. If I invite your aunt I
here, the difference of expense must fall
most heavily upon you, because I can
not give you many pleasures you enjoy
if I have one more! to support. Concerts
(OUG
nn
and Jewelry, littlo gifts and pleasures,
will bo beyond our means then. But If
you will be bapplor knowing your aunt t
has a home, I will go myself to Chicago .
and bring her here."
"Oh, Walter, how kind, how gener
ous you are I I will never be ablo to
thank you."
"Then I am to go. All right. I will
ret a leave of absence to-morrow. Ia
the meantime I Will telegraph youraunt
to meet mo at the depot, if sho has sent
any address."
"Tho address Is tho lawyers' who
arranged her legacy for her, and who.
did not live In tho. buraLdlstricV Morsa
& Hunter."
A. few daya later, as fast as steam
would carry Walter to Chicago and back,
Elsio was waiting to welcome the trav
elers. A telegram had Informed her
that Walter had found Julia waiting at
tho depot and by what train to expect
him home. Tho only spare room in tho
pretty little house at Harlem, where
Walter had brought his bride, was In
dainty order. Jennie, tho servant, was
cooking the choicest supper Elsio could
devise, and the little wife herself, neatly
dressed, was running to tho door every
minute watching for the carriage.
Itcamoat last, nnd Walter handed
out a lady. Poor Elsio felt fairly sick,
as the guest, tottered rather than walked
Into the room. She was white as ashes,
her hair, Elsie remembered black as a
coal not one year before, streaked with
gray, and her eyes sunken as if with
long lllnes. When the water-proof cloak
fell from her shoulders, her shabby dross
was most unlike Aunt Julia's habitual
neatness. But, tho first shock of sur
prise over, Elsie had no words too loving
to welcome her aunt, while soft tender
kisses fell fast upon the pale face.
"Sho is very tlrod, Elsie," Walter
whispered, seeing how vainly the white
Hps tried to frame words. "Get her to
rest, dear, as soon as you can."
So Elsie, tearfully loving, made her
aunt lie upon the lounge, and brought
her the most tempting of tca.trays,stop
plng tho broken words of thanks by
kisses and caresses. Walter, too, by a
hundred delicate attentions and few
spoken words made the guest feel that
she was most cordially and gladly wel
comed. In her own room Aunt Julia told Elsio
something of the horrors that had aged
her more In one fortnight than In any
previous two years of her life. She had
slept upon the ground, in a drenching
rain for two nights, then In a tent with
no change of clothing, and the memory
of the fire terrors to haunt her. She had
begged tho paper and tho stamp to write
to r.isie. men sue torn oi v alters
tender care of her In tho long journey,
when she, racked by pain, often could
not speak for hours, how like a son he
had cared forhercomfort. It was a sad
story, and Elsie's tears fell fast.
"But now," sho said, "you aro at
home. I have put underclothes and
loose wrappers in here, Auntie, until we
can have some dresses fitted. Let mo
undress you now."
Gently and tenderly the shabby clothes
were removed, the weary feet bathed,
the gray-streaked hair smoothed, and
snowy linen put on for the night. Then,
utterly tired, Aunt Julia sank into the
bed, whispering:
"Think, Elsie, I have not been in a
bed for twelve nights!"
But alas, she was not soon to leave It.
Tho haven of rest once gained, Aunt
Julia lay for many long weeks danger
ously ill with rheumatic fever brought
on by exposure, while the tortured brain,
in wildest delirium, raved of scenes that
chilled Elsie with horror.
All through tho weary weeks Elsie
was nurse, while Walter supplied every
delicacy that could be found to tempt
the invalid, patiently endured the dis
comforts of a house haunted by sickness,
and proved himself, Jennio declared,
"the nearest to an angel of any man
ever she seen."
Winter was nearly over before Aunt
Julia was able to leave her bed, crippled
for life. Tho rheumatism had so twisted
the joints of her hands, legs and feet,
that they wcro useless and most of tho
time intensely painful. She fretted over
the prospect of being a burden upon
Walter and Elsie, with all the despair of
a proud woman who had always main
tained her own Independence, and tear
fully begged to be sent to some charitable
asylum, where sho would bo only a
public expense. Elsio told Walter of
this wish, and he went to Aunt Julia's
room.
Taking the crippled, helpless hands In
his own, holding them very tenderly, he
said:
"Aunt Julia. Elsie has told me bow
hard these little hands worked for her
for seventeen long years. I love Elsie
so dearly that to grlevo her is my great
est sorrow. Co you think I could bear
to see her pained if her second mother
was sick and alone, nursed by hired
hands while we are able and willing to
give her lovo and care? Do not speak
again of leaving us. I have not seen
Elsie's face so sad as it is to-night since
you came to us."
"But, Walter, think. I may live for
Tears."
"I sincerely hope yon will."
"And I can never have any use of my
hands and feet more than I have now.
I can scarcely feed myself or hobble
across the room."
"The more reason wbyyou should have
loving care Why," and Waltcrlaughed
while bis honest brown eyes proved his
sincerity, "do you think all the love
here is Elsie's? I want my share too,
auntie, for I love you as well as my wife.
I ask you to slay because I want you
here. I have not heard Elsie sigh over
long, lonely days, sinco you cams,"
It took many more loving argumsnts,
but at last Aunt Julia ylel leJ. It was
but truth that Walter spoke when ho
aild she had won his lovo as well as
Elsie's. She was very patient uadir
excruciating suffering, and very gratefnt
for all tho loving care lavished upon her.
When the pain subsided, and she could
talk, sho was charming company, well
read and full of pleasant memories and
bright observation.
While sho felt herself a burden, Wal
ter and Elsie regarded her as a blessing
Waller no longer worried at leaving
Elsio all day, while ho was at his bust
ncss,and Elsie never tlrod of Aunt Julia,
whoso experience! proved very valuable
to the. little, housekeeper.
But month after month there, was a
scarcely pcrccptlblo falling of strength
In tho sorely tried body, long past youth.
ful vigor. The rheumatic fever had left
heart trouble, and distressing spells of
suffocation and palpitation often threat
oned the invalid's life. Always patient,
she yet often proved for death to tad
her suffering, whllo Elsio prayed only
that tho dear llfo might bo spared.
She had been Walter Hartman's guest
for two years, when her weakness In
creased to an alarming extent, rapidly
and certainly,tlll she could not leave her
bed. It was while sho was herself con
scious that the end of her suffering was
approaching that sho received a letter
from her lawyer In Chicago informing
her that he had received an offer of
twenty thousand dollars for tho lots of
land sho owned in that city.
, Sho had looked upon her own beggary
as so absolutely certain that at first sho
could scarcely credit tho news; but
Walter, in whoso hands sho placed tho
business, soon proved the offer no dream
by accepting the terms and informing
Aunt Julia tho money lay in the bank
in her namo.
"Now, you can ride In your carriage
when you aro well," Elsio said, smiling
but tearful. "I am so glad, Auntie.
You will havo something now for your
old age."
"But no old age, Elsie," was the glad
reply. "I am glad too, -darling, very
glad, but not for that."
By herown request a lawyer came and
wrote her will, and then Aunt Julia, cs
If tho care of llfo was ended for her,sank
rapidly, growing every day weaker and
more dependent upon Elsie's loving,
never-falling care.
It was in early Spring, when, ono
evening, as Walter came In, Jennie met
him, her honest face all disfigured by
crying.
"Sure, sir, It's asking for yon, Miss
Julia is."
"Is she worse?"
"Ah, sir, she's going fast. Tho doc.
tor says she'll not last the night."
Going fast. Walter could see tho
girl's words were tnio when he softly
entered tho room where Aunt Julia
rested, her head upon Elsie's shoulder,
her hands clasped fast In Elsie s.
"I am glad you came," sho whispered,
"I think I could not go without thanking
you onco more and saying farewell,"
"What I havo done," Walter sald.hls
heart swelling with emotion, "was glad
ly,lovingly done. I do not need thanks,
Aunt Julia."
"I believe that, but I am not less
grateful, because you gave from a full
heart. May God bless you and yours,
Walter. May what you have done for a
crippled, penniless woman como back to
you In your old ago laden with her bless
ing. Klsi mo farewell, Walter."
Eevereatly he bent over her, pressing
a loving kiss upon the withered lips,
while tears that were no shamo to his
manhood stood in his eyes. A few broken
words to Elsie, a murmured prayer, and
tho gcntlo spirit was released from the
wcary.pain-rackcd frame. Tears of true
love fell upon tho wasted face, placid In
death's sleep. Every kind word was
cherished when the lips that had spoken
It were mute, and Aunt Julia had two
true mourners at her funeral, while many
of the friends of years gone by came to
pay the last tribute of respect to her
memory.
It did not surprise Elsie when she
learned that her Aunt Julia had left her
the fortune that came too lato to gladden
her own life. But she told Walter, when
the wtll was read to her:
"I am glad wo never thought of the
land,Waltcr,in the years that Aunt Julia
was with us. It would havo made me
hcsltato often to show her all the love
in my heart, If I had ever thought sho
would havo money to leave me."
"She knew, darling. It was all love,
yet I am glad my Elsie has some reward
for the patient, tender care that allevl
ated the suffering of tho poor invalid
who rests at last."
And Elsie, nestling close in Walter's
arms, sail softly:
"If I could lovo you more, Walter,
than when I married you, I should do
so when I think of your kindness and
generosity to Aunt Julia."
"It was odd," Walter said, "that the
money that Aunt Julia invested in
Chicago should be actually doubled, for
I havo seen her weep often when sho
spoko of her 'unfortunate Investment' of
her friend's legacy.
"list."
They said the train was an hour bo
hind time, and that Information made
ns all feel put out and annoyed. There
fore, when a boy of about U, poorly
dressed and having a tramplsh look,
came along the platform asking for
financial aid to get him down to K
on the train we were waiting for, it
was but natural that one and all replied:
"If yon want to go to It take the
dirt road I You look as if you were used
to tramping!"
lie had no. saucy word In reply.
When he went and stood in the light of
the window, and I saw bow he shivered
In the cold wind, and how worried and
anxious ho seemed to be, I grew
ashamed of my gruff words. I saw two
or three others look him over as I had
done, and I had no doubt that they felt
as I did. I ought to hive walked up ti
the boy and said:
"Here, my lad, if you really want to
go down to B , I'm willing to help
you. Tako this half-dollar. How
happens It that a lad of your ago is cold,
ragged, hungry and away from homo
and friends?"
But I didn't. I odgod towards him,
ashamed, and yet not qulto ready to ac
knowledge It to htm, and all of ft sudden
he disappeared, I reasoned that he had
gone up the hill to the village, and that
his pretending to want to go to K
was all a trick to beat honest men.
When you reason that way tho heart
grows hard pretty fast, and yon feel a
bit revengeful. We talked tho matter
over four or Ave of ns and tho con
cluded was that the boy would dlo on
tho gallows.
Well tho train camo along after a
whilo; and it was moving away, after a
brief stop, when a piercing shriek, fol
lowed by shouts and calls, brought us to
a stop.
"Somebody's boon run overt" called
a voice, and in a moment the coaches
were emptied.
Yes, somebody bad been run over
bad a leg cut off abovo the kneo by one
of the cruel wheels. Who was It? How
did It happed? It was our boy tbo lad
who was to end bis days on the gallows.
He had crept under the coach to steal a
rldo on the trucks. There ho was,
having only a few minutes to live his
face as white as tho snow-banks his
eyes roving from face to face his lips
quivering as twenty men bent down and
spoko words of sympathy.
"Who are you?" asked thoconductor.
"Tim I"
"You shouldn't havo tried It."
"But I wanted to get to R so bad!
