"White satin wedding dress train two yards long, and Brussels lace in endless qualities; veil lo match, nnd diamonds! Nell, it would just make you wild to look at them! Ah, mo! who wouldn't be a bride, just for tlie sake of such lovely things; licrtrude Kills ought to be awfully happy I' MIssiFlhit Uid down her thimble and smoothed out tho Intricate embroidery with which she was decorating a blue surah polonaise. Nell Lelghton bent her golden head oyer the work upon which sho was engaged. Her face had grown very pale, and some how she dared not lift her brown eyes to Miss t lint's plain face. The latter was a spinster of uncertain age and no claims to beauty. She did not believe In shams, and utterly repudiated talse hair. She wore her own spare locks, and ncith er roue nor powder found a resting place upon her honest face. A poor seamstress, but she was richer in integrity and fearless honesty than many of the fine ladles lor whom she worked. "She ought to be very happy, I am sure!" echoed Nell, faintly. Miss Flint tossed her Iron-gray head. ''Hut she's not!" she announced tersely. "How could any woman be happy who Is deceiving a good, true man?" Nell lifted her brown eyes with a startled look In their depths. "What do you mean?" sho asked eag erly. "This. I'll tell you, Nell, because you know how to hold your tongue, and It's not the first secret that I've Intrusted to you, and never regretted It, You see,Nell, Miss Gertrude Kills doesn't love Lee Gil bert, the man she's going to marry." "MIu Flint!" "No, she does not. And, worse than all, she hand uie that embroidery silk, Nell: I thanks she; does love some one e!s I" The work fell luto Nell's lap, and a lulr, RedStar of big brown eyes gazed Into the speaker's faco In undisguised amazement. "Why does sho marry him then?" the girl panted eagerly. "Oh, how cruel how wicked It 1st And I.ce Mr. Gilbert such n noble, good tnant It Is dreadful! How can Miss Kills do such a thing? I" Nell stopped short in confusion, tho red blood surging all over her pearly face, for there in the open doorway of the sowing room stood a lady. A tall, dusky-cyed woman with a super cilious face. She was elegantly attired, nnd her large eyes swept the little room with a glanco of scorn. It was tho sewing-room attached to Madame Dupont's fashionable dressmak ing establishment, mid Miss Kills hail called to give an order. Madame Dnpont was at her side, her face covered with smiles obsequious fawning. A silence fell upon the inmates of tlie apartment, while a smile of contempt stole over Miss Kills' face. ''When these all persons IraVo finished criticising my nffairs" she began frigidly I will be glad to see how my work is progressing." Madamo Dnpont turned an angry fare upon the two culprits, then smiles chased Hie frown awnyas shn bustled into the room, wheeled an easy chair forwaid for her ricli customer, and straightway there followed a long conversation upon tlie merits of the different materials, modes of trimming, etc. Then the ''fltting'.' process was gono tliiough; and, at last, after two long hours' monopoly of tho room nnd the lime of the sewing women, Miss: Ellis announced her intention to depart. When tho door had closed behind her Miss Flint turned to Nell. - - "We're in for a lecture sure!" sho said in a low tone, "I saw it in madaine's eyes I" And right there madamo's yoice broke In a thin Tlnegary voice it was when ad dressing her employes and madame's lit tle, oyer-dressed figure appeared before the culprits. "Sol you two pass your time in com ments upon my customers I" sho sneered. "Do you forget that Miss Kills is the daughter of n rich man and is going toJ marry a millionaire? What doyotimean by offending a rich lady Ilka Miss Kllis? I'm surprised at you, Miss Flint." Miss Flint bit off her thread with a vici ous snap of her teeth. I'm sorry If Fvo offended you. mad- atnel" she made answer; "but I meant no offense to Miss Kllisl'lt was all my fault too, not Nell's, for I Introduced the sub ject 1" Madame's penciled brows contracted Into a frown. "I can't help that!" she retorted; "Miss Kills is offended, and she asked mc I mean I well, tlie long and short of it is that Nell I.eighton is-discharged from my employ ! I don't want any sewing girls who attend to other people's' affairs', and make my sewing room a gossiping club!'' Nell's work had fallen .from her tremb ling bauds. There was a wild light In her beautiful brown eyes,andshowastrainbliiig like a leaf. "Discharged!'' she repeated, and her voice sounded like a wall. "Indeed, mad amc, I meant no harm believe me! Oh, do not send me away, for how can I live without employment? And who will pro vlde.for my poor sick father?" A cold, cruel light stole into madame's hard eyes. "I can't help that!"' she sneered. "You must learn to hold your tongue about other people's affairs. It may prove a good les son to you! Here Is your money; when the day's woik Is done go!" The girl bowed her golden head oyer the intricate embroidery. Miss Flint's face was like n rock, so hard and unyielding Its expression. "Nell!" she whispered, as soon as they were alone, "I shall discharge myself and leave when you do. It's a shame to make you suffer alone, for what is really my fault! And, Nell, it's all that hateful Kllis woman's doings! I overheard her, out in the hall, tell madame that If she desires her future patronage she must get rid of that, Impertinent girl. Never mind, Nell, I'll go too; and the day will conic when Madame Dupout will regret her Injustice!" Hut Nell begged and entreated so earnest ly that Miss Flint would not give up her situation, for sho was very poor,that finally the little old maid consented to remain. Tlie day wore away Nell's last day at Madame Dupont's. "My last day as a sewing girl!" she said with a half smile that ended In a sigh, as she arose and began to fold up the surah polonatso upon which they had both been working. And Nell did not dream how true her words were destined lo become. She was all alone In thQ(room, It happened; or does anything ever happen? Is jt not that Ood's providence directs even our smallest ac tions? Hut as Nell folded the garment, w hich had been lying tossed carelessly over tho back of a chair since Miss Kllis had submitted to tho trying-on process, a scrap of paper fluttered from amid the volumin ous drapery and fell to the floor. Nell picked It up, wondering vaguely how It camo there, when her eyes fell iupon these words written upon tho paper: ''So, my dear Harry, It is all settled. Won't Gilbert be furious though, when he finds out that he has bcryi duped? Hut I have loved you too long, and the sight of you after all these months of separation brought back old times too vividly. So I have consented to marry yon secretly. I.bt I.co Gilbert console himself elsewhere. It will not be diflicnlt, I fancy; for ho has I really bellcye necr forgotten that Leigh ton girl with whom he onco fell in love. You've heard of the I.elglitons, and the big financial crash which inado paupers of them? Well-let him" And here tho delectable epistle ended the sheet being torn diagonally across. For a time Nell stood llkn a statue.grasp Ing the torn paper In her cold hands. Hut there was a wild thrill of joy at her heart all the same. Lee Gilbert had not forgotten her? And she had thought him false and mercenary, because since her father's failure, and their removal from aristocratic society to the poor rooms In the third story of a teno inent house, which had since been their home, she had neer heard a word from lilm. And In tho old dead days of the past, they had been almost betrothed lovers. The" hot bluod rushed to her cheeks; she turned away, with the torn letter grasped In her trembling hand. She put on her hat for tho day wa done and left Madame Dupont's for tlie last time. Out in tlie street, she was hurrying on with eager steps she wanted to get to tlie shelter of her llttlo dark room in the lene inent house wlicro she could be alone, to think over tho strange. Improbable con tents of the torn letter which she still grasped unthinkingly In her gloveless hand. And then fate took up the tangled skein, and proceeded to straighten the dillictilly. She was turning tho corner of a retired street when, raising her eyes, they fel! full upon the face of a tall, dark, handsolne man, coming toward her from the opposite direction. She fell back with it'llttlc cry. o' For the first time n nearly three yea is she was face to face with Lee Gllbcit! The torn letter dropped from her' nerve less grasp nnd lay upon the pavement at Ifcr feet. He held out his hand with a joyful ex clamation. "Nell I" ho panted, "where hayo you been all this time? 1 have sought for you everywhere!" As ho spukn his eyes fell upon the letter, and ho stooped to restore It to her. Ills quick glance caught sight of Ills own name, nild In Gertrude Kills' handwriting. A moment later, and in spite of Nell's pro testations, impelled by impulse, ho hail glanced it over, and knew tho truth at last.- Ho stood staring Int,o the girl's confused face like one bewildered. "Thank God!" burst from his lips at. last. "I owo Miss Ellis a thousand thanks for restoring mc my freedom 1 Nell, tell mc, Is It true that you arc married to a rich old man?" "1! Married?" Nell's voice panted in dignantly. I never thought of such- a thing! Who told you so, Mr. Gilbert?'' "She Gertrude Kills. 1 had sought you in valu for months; when sho finally told mo of your marriage to a wealthy old man. In jealous and pique I asked her to be my wife! It seems now that her heart has re turned to Its first love; for which I am not sorry. Nell, will you bo my wire? Tho street is a unique placo for such a dcclara lion, but you ought to know that 1 love you, and cannot be happy without you." So her lover loved her still. Nell never went back to Madame Du pont's until sho called there to order her trousseau. Wasn't madame overwhelmed? And when Nell went to housekeeping in her luxurious home, she took Miss Flint to live with her her stauncli friend and de fender. TESTING HER INNOCENCE. A poor, pale Farls seamstress was arraign ed for theft. She appeared at the bar with her baby of eleen mouths In her arms. Sho went to get somo work one day and stole three gold coins of ten francs each. The money was missed after she left her employer, anda servant was sent to claim it. Tho servant found her about to quit tlie room with tlie money In her hand. She said to the servant, "I'm going to carry them back to you." Nevertheless she was taken to tho com missioner of police, and lie ordered her to be sent to the police court for trial. Sho was too poor to engage a lawyer, and when asked by tho judge what she had to say for herself, she replied: "Tlie day I went to my employer's I car ried my child with me, I wasn't noticing It. Tliero were several gold coins on the mantel, and unknown tome, tt seized three pieces, which I did not observe until I got homo. I was going back with them when I was arrested. This is Hie solemn truth, as I hope for Heaven's mercy." The judge besought the mother for her own sake to retract so absurd a story, for it could have no effect but to oblige lilm to sentence her lo a much severer puulilimciit than ho was disposed to Inflict upon one so young and so poor. Hut the mother was firm, and her firm ness was sustained by a look of Innocence which the most adroit criminal can never counterfeit. The court was at a loss to discover what decision justice demanded. To relieve his embarrassment tlie judge proposed a renewal of tho scene dcsciibed by tlui mother. Three, gold coins were placed ou the clvrk's table. The mother was requested to assume the position In which she stood at her employ er's house. There was then a breathless pause. The baby 60on discovered tho brlglifcoins, ' eyed them for A moment, smiled, anil then stretched foi til its tlnyhand and clutched them with a miser's eagerness, Thuiuothci was at once acquitted. We aro often told lo Imitate nature. Still, we shouldn't imitate her too literally. We needn't dress in green velvet through the siunmer because she does. Tho perfect lawgiver is a just temper between the mere man of theory, who can see nothing but general principles, mid the mere man of business, who can sec nothing but particular circumstances. The cultivation of good natuio and apcaking of others as we would have them speak of us, according to tlie spirit of the golden rule, would very soon cure the moral disease of scandal In all who aro alllictcd with it. The real life of tho heart is always un folding in silence, and men of largo natures carry In the center of their hearts a secret garden or a silent wilderness. If there are no heart words for full human feeling, how much less for divine! No individual can attain to true man liness or womanliness without loping and laboring for others. Tlie good of each Is bound up in the good of all, and no one can live to himself alone. The effort to do so results only Iu a feebler, jworyr, weaker self, There nro few belter evidences of med iocrity of character and incapacity for action than a readiness to consider every question from every point of view.
