"I would cling to the man I loved, and be faithful to him, through evil report and room rercrt in the face of death itself!" Klalne Ner ell's was not a handsome face hut the expression that animated it with me utterance of those low-sunken hm earnest words, cavo it a charm tlmt better than beauty; and one of the two young men who oveihcard the words.turned and bent a glance of quiet scrutiny upon the slender fieure of thn girl who stood leaning against a column of the porch, n few f et distant, her hands clastied tnnsplv in front of her. her faro slightly uplifted wiin tuo rapt expression of ono Inspired. Her sister .Mildred, a reallv nrnttv iirl. some three year her senior, gave utterance to a light, tinkllnK laugh. "Iteally. Elaine, I had no idea of elieli. Iti" such a hurst of eloquence by my casual remark. I did not suppose vou had turned your attention to thoughts of lovn yet." "I have not committed invsclf mm such statement !" j-eplied Elaine, in a lone of mingled resentment and chacrln. m lmv. ing been betrayed into an unwonted warmth ot expression before her somewhat cynical sister, who, although she wore a diamond rlim on her engagement finger, seemed to consider it eminently proper to scoff at any evidence of the tender passion In any one else. "I was simply speaking on general principles." "Dear ine, If you can command such an amount of eloquence on general principles yon ' would really become positively heroic when it came to a particular Instance!" was tho half-mischievous, half-mocking re sponse. "I don't wonder yours was the prize competition at school: you must be possessed of a very high onler of romance! Now dou't go away offended," she contin ued, as Elalno turned quietly but decidedly away. "J was only joking." Hut the apology came too late. Without any other sign than a resentful fl.tsh of her dark eyes, and a heightening of the vivid. uioom on tier cheek, Elaine passed into tho house. Not until the door closed behind her did Clluton Haywarrl withdraw his eaze. Then turning to his companion, he said in a half-amused, half-earnest tone: "The little sister of vour bride-elect seems to be quite an intense young lady. She has been so demure thus far that I did not know she had so much fire and spirit in her." "She is Quixotic and romantic, of course. but the best-hearted little creattiro In the world, withal," said Robert Deano. good humoredly, tossing away his cl uar as iik spoke. She Is lust home from boarding- school, you see, with her head full of ro mantic vagaries, and no raoro iuea of the conventionalities of Ufa than a kitten. When she becomes toned down In some de gree, and takes on a little nollsh. It will he a great improvement to her no doubt, but i do not think she will ever quite come up to her sister .Mildred for quiet, well-bred grace, aud an utter absence of any of thoso explosive tendencies." "You are in duty bound to think so at all evenls." remarked Clinton, with a lauah. And after all, it takes all varie'.les to make up the 81101 of human life, you know; too much of ouo kind, however excellent, would ho apt lo become monotonous. Hut as wo have both finished our cigars, let us go over and entcilalii your lady-love. Miss Elaine hH8 evidently deserted us pr the ulght." He did not know tlut the girl .whose name he uttered so lightly ras at that mo ment on her kness in her own room, her face, crimson with passion and shanie, buried in the counterpane of her dainty bed, and sobs shaking her slender form from head to foot. It was only three weeks since she had teturned home from her boarding-school, a warm-liearted, Impulsive, and yet diffident child, to find her sister's lover, Robert Deace, there ou a visit together with his friend and old-time college, chum, Clinton Hayward. There was no beauty lu her face to at tract any special admiration from him, but she had met his friendly advances with a shy graco all her own; and It was not long beioreho noticed that the demure little face could grow radiant at times with a bright, keen look that furnished a fitting Index to the fiee, brave soul within and be hind it; a spirit or sterling honesty and In tegrity that would not stoop to v, hi adula tion or friendship by auy conventional sub terfuge or blandishment whatever. 1 And whll he was Interested aud amused J by the "original little creature," as lie was ' fond qf terming her, the girl's fresh, ardent 1 ecepthe nature va, all unconsciously at first, drawint! in the intoxicating hut so of-, ten falal breathings of that influence which . becomes I lie one controlling force of a wo-1 man's life. ' A nature as proud as it was anient, was, however, her shield aciinit any outward ' and unsought manifestation of her jealous-1 ly guarded secret; hut the presence of that j magic power In hor heart unconsciously tempered her actions, ber words, her whole demeanor, lending a gracious, womanly warn.th and maturity to what had been ! childish and unformed. A chance remark of her sister's that eve ,nlng, uttered in the half scornful, half I skeptical tono which she was veiy fond of I affecting at times, had called forth irom ) Elaine an Involuntary burst of the feeling I so long pant up vithlujicr; then had come a sudden revulsion of feeling, bringing with it tho sickening, humiliating fear that she had In that unguarded moment betrayed the undeilying sentiment that prompted it. She had seen Clinton fiance over In her direction with that half mnured, half In quiring look; she had known Instinctively Ihat his gazo was not withdrawn; aud un able longer to tupport tho mingled feelings of alarm, embarrassment, and mortification that seemed to ingulf her, alia had rushed wildly to her room, there to wresllo with her 6cciet that had at last openly faced and as it were defied her. Alone In her room that night, she regis tered a vow, -the hardest that auy woman could make, but which, with her, once ut tered, had all the binding solemnity of a sacred oath : to exile herself from the soclo ty of the man she had grown to love with such an overmastering passion, until that passion was so thoroughly controlled and subjugated that she could meet him, could subject herself to the most searching scrut iny, without the dargcr of betraying by word or sign the ordeal through which she bad passed. It was a hard battle for-tho ardent, lm pulslve glil, that battle, with the first strong love of her heart a loye that pleaded for life, until it seemed as If between the two conflicting forces she must sink down for ever; but she kep' her vow to well that Clinton found the house grow strangely dull and devoid of interest. In response to his inquiry about her sla- ler iidred replied that sho believed Elaine had taken up some new study that was monopolizing her time and attention. niaino heard the remark as sho sat by tho window of her room, and smiled bitter ly as she ropeted the words: 'A now study 1 She is nearer the truth than she thinks I A study that must be conned with tears and in anguish, but tint shall he learned at Inst!" And finally therec.-imcaday when Elaine pale but resolute, told herself that the vic tory was won; that sho could once more mingle with her sister's gucsu. But the look of glad welcome that shone in Clinton Hay ward's handsome eyes was nearly fatal to her resolution, and the fluttering color rose and fell In her cheek, while It scemeJ as If the. beating of hr' heart would i-jffo- cate her. "Well, little hermit, have you managed to tear yourself away at last from the ab sorbing pursuit of that engrossing study.or lias your indefatigable assiduity conquered It already? You h-.ve no idea what you came ncar'loslng' through your conjtiimacy In avoiding our society?" W Every nerve, of her being seemed to vi brate to his words, which, although light in import, were uttered with an unconsci ous earnestness that seemed almost tender; hu she raised her dark eyes to his with masterful self-command. "Indeed! What a hapjiy etcapel And as I am not lo be entirely debarred from the ptivllogc, pray let mo inquire what it Is." "H'hy, ubout twenty of us propose to mako an excursion to-morrow to tho gypsy encampment in Seymour's woods, and our list of invitations was nearly complete; but since you hae consented to rejoin us at the eleventh hour, we will exercise a corres ponding degreo of clemency and include you. Mil you go?" What torturing delusion was It that whispered to her heart that there was an unwonted eagerness iu his eyes and in his voice? Again she forced herself to meet his gaze, to answer In a quiet, eyen tone: "Thank you, I shall be very glad to go!" then she glided away and joined her sister. When the party-set out the next day In two large wagons, Richard Deane driving Mildred in Clinton's buggy, Elaine was the most quiet of all;hut to Clinton the demure little faco seemsd invested with a new charm, and his gaze wandered continually In her direction. All day lojig she manifested the same thoughtful, earnest mood, and If her dark eyes grew sometimes heavy with tears, it was rather because of the strange happi ness that seemed to pervi.de her being, than of auy conscious paru. Toward the close of the afternoon Elaine had wandered off by herself, when a quick step sounded near her, and the glanced up to meet Clinton Hayward's gaze. "We aie about returning, Jfi' Elaine, and I am deputed to escort you in my hug 2V, as yonr sister and Richard wish to ride in one of the open wagons," he said Isugh Ingly. "Have jou any objection to olfer?" "Thete seems to be no alternative but to submit." sho answered lu a tone calm from tho very Intensity of her emotion, and with out another word she followed htm to where tho horso and wagon were standing. He helped her lu, sprung in beside ber, and they drove off. "The rest of the party hae the start of us," Clinton said, when they had gone a short distance, "but if we ta'.e this cut it will bring us out on tbe main road some distance in advance." 'Very well,' Elaine answered, as he seemed to wait for ber consent; and they whirled rapidly along In tbe new direction. A few rods ahead there was a turn In thn road, and as they made It, a loud, con fused noise greeted them, and an excited crowd swept by, In pursuit of a mad dog. As the savage brute passed the vehicle, he made a sudden vicious snap at the horse's heels; tbe frightened animal reared and plunged, then whirled around with a sttddeu sharp turn, and In anothtr instant the occupants of the carriage were hurled to Ihe grouud. Elaiue was upon her feet immediately, but Clinton made a futile effort to rise, then fell back with a groan. 'I can't 1' he utterd despairingly. 'My leg is broken! ajid oh, God! look there!'

For n single instant his eyes met hers, and in that fleeting glance ho read her hctrt and his own, and kne that death with her was preferable to life without. With lighting-like dexteilly Elaine tore off her long cloak, and wound It around hor arm, and a? the doz, with gloaming eyes and widely dlstendsd jaws came bounding forward, with a quick, unerring movement she met him half way, and thrust her shielded arm between his jaws, .beating him lo to Ihe ground, .while the Impetiu brought her to her knees beside lilm. "I'.'te now!" she panted. "It may mean death for both, but In Heaven's imnie, lire!" With n silent prayer, Clinton took aim Elaine's head so near to that ot her strug gling captive, that to avoid it seemed, al most a mlraele. With supreme calmness she turned It to one side and closed her eyes. There was a sharp report, a faint cur- gilng In the dog's throat, a few derperate throes, and then th huge creature lay lifeless at her feet. Then, as overcome by the revulsion of feeling, Elaine sank half fainting beside him, the tread of footsteps and the hum of exciled voices seunded near her, and the other members of the Daily who had heard the uproar crowded around her. Room was quickly made iu one of the large wagons, and tho two heroes of the occasion-wero assisted in. As Clinton half reclined by Elaine's side, hJs hand sought hers, found It, and did not release it until home was reached. A few hours later, when, with his brok en leg set, Clinton was lying hack In a re-Cilning-chalr, pale and weak, but with i strange brightness In hit faco, he motiond Elaine to his side. "Klalne," ho said with fervent feeling, "i once nearii you say you would cling to the man you loved in the face of death It self.

I would like to see this world so that a man could die and not feel that he had left his wife and children a prey to the greed or avarice or necessities of mankind. There is something wrone In the system when Idleness Is burdened with wealth and Industry with famine. Oct out of your minds that old nonsense about man's free moral agency. A man Is no more responsible foi hl character than for his height, or for his acts than his dreams. Then you will hayo charily for the whole human race. Wealth is not a crime nor Is poverty a virtue, although virtue has generally been poor. There Is only on good human happi ness. To do right Is tho hud, blossom and fruit of wisdom.
