But people, rts n general thing, are very stnpidj they looked oyer and under nnd nroand It, as If it were not there nt alL And not r person entered the poor boy's office for a week. lint one day an elegant carriage wrw driven to tbe door, from whloli n young lady of striking appearance alighted, and 1 ran In great excitement to tell mother- "Tom ha a patient now worth hav ing," I cried. "A lady in a apleudid carriage. Perhaps she fell in love witli him somewhere (I was only nineteen). Think how romantic." "Some stuck up thing, I suppose,'' Olivosnld, with a contemptuous shrug of her ehonhk-rs. "Itenlly!" I exclaimed. "Yon had bet tor not bo so hasty ill your judgments certainly not until you know n little moro than you do now." Olive Sargent had been taken Into tho family when quite small simply on no count of her eyes, which indicated, mother thought, remarkable genius. But tho genius did not develop, for she was a perfect Ignoramus, with nothing unusual nbout her, except her brown eyes and her skill In using them. Mian Seymour proved n valuable pa tient. She invited Tom to meet peoplo of standing and influence, and his genial manners won him many desirablo friends. My sister Lucy and 1 made the most audacious plans, but we could not mention tho yonng lady's name beforo Olivo without bringing a scowl to her brow, for tho llltlo simpleton really had tho presumption to bo jealous, and nbout this time n very cllgiblo young man commenced paying her marked atten tions, but she treated him" with all tho airs and caprices of an experienced flirt. "You ought to bo ashamed of such conduct," I said to her ono day. "Mr. Lamson is worthy of the most superior woman and you might feel greatly flat- terou uy ins attentions ir you do not love him why do you encourago his visits?" , "Do you want me to marry him?" sho aaked. "Yon certainly will not havo many such chances," 1 replied. "Does Tom want mo to marry hiin'r" "Of course ho does. Ho has a very high opinion of Mr. Lamson, and knows you could not make abetter match if you intend to marry at all." "Then I shall accept him. 1 always Knew i snouiu uaio tlio man 1 married." And eho flounced out of tho room, scowling fearfully. "How queer sho is," Lucy said, "1 never did like such odd girls in real life. They do well enough in ttories." "1 shall bo glad when sho marries," 1 rejoined. And soon afterward sho announced her engagement to Mr. Lamson. "Thero is foiuo ono that cares for mo anyway," sho said. "Tell Tom I have accepted tho man ho is so crazy to have mo marry." I did not deliver tho ungracious mcs- sago, but when 1 told my brother of the engagement i saw linn catch his breath, as if very much moved. "Llttlo Olivo engagedl1 ho said. "1 norer dreamed of such n thing." "Llttlo Olivo is twenty years old," 1 replied, "and 1 supposed you would bo pleased. Mr. Lamson Is such n flno young man." "Oh. yes; ho is to bo congratulated, "She Is the ono to bo congratulated," I answered quickly. "Such a baby as sho is, ana oh, Tom, sho is so selfish! "You aro very hard, Lillian, where Olivo is concerned. Remember thlt she lias had nothing to try her. Sho may provo quite a heroino yet." "But, my dear brother, just comparo her with Miss beymour.' "They aro entirely different In theh natures and dispositions." "I should think so." "Then Miss Seymour Is several years older, to begin with, and having been left nn orphan at an early ngo sho has acquired a great deal of self reliance and charactor. "You like and ndmlro her very much. Tom, do yon notr Yes, Lillian. Sho lias been tho kind est of friends, and I owo her moro than I can po&tlbly repay. Sho will bo mar ried soon"- "Whatl" 1 fairly gasped, all my beau tiful air castles shattered in a moment Is she cngagod?" "Certainly. But what is tho matter, deal? Yon look as if somo ono had struck yon." 'Nothing nothing, I answered fee bly as t turned to leave the room, my heart sinking still lower when I heard him repeating to himself, "Little Olive engaged!" I went as usual to my mother for con solation, and throwing myself upon the floor beside her, I cried: "Oh, mother, mother, Tom is not going to be engaged, to that lovely Mist Seymour after all. And worse still, 1 believe be l ta love with Olive of all persons iu the world. Think of Ul' "What do you mean, Lillian?" mot Let demanded, with a look of unqualified horror. "It is so. mother, 1 am sure." "Well, if 1 had ever dreamed of such a denouement, I never would have taken tha child Into my family. Bat what makes you think the boy U in lore with lierr "Ha just told we that Miss Seymour will soon be married to some one else. And he seems so allocked and depressed liecause Olive is engaged to Mr. Lamson. I cannot be mistaken and such a wifo for Tom!" At that moment Olive entered the room. looking gloomy and pouting. "My dear," motber asked, "when does yoar lover wish to be married? "A good deal sooner than I do," she answered testily. "I do not believe in long engage- raouts, motber oonnnaea, "sad I con I'der you a very fortunate girl to havo won the love of a loan like Mr. Uu son.

I wee sot at all sormlaed when a few den afterward Laer entered jay room Highest of all in Leavening ABSOiiiTELY PURE LIVE AND LET . LIVE.' In great exeffirment: Hot my fears ver realised. "Oh, Lillian," my stater cried, "Olive has been taking laudanum, and" "I'shawr' 1 exclaimed. "Yon are not deluded by thellttle amateur Bernhardt, tltOpeT 'Bat she is on the bed nneoraotoua." 'Just call Tom, and then see how un conscious she is!" "Lillian, you are just ns hard hearted as you can be I She looks aswblle as the sheet she is lying on." "Uail 'lorn and she will soon tret her oolor." Sho did as I told her. and we all went to her room together, Luoy and Tom very raucu ngimteti, out myself, feel ing irritated and impatient. "Slop a moment!" 1 said, holdlnr tlio others back. "I want to speak to her flfst, Olive!'

"My grandfa- luers name was certainly James Hand ford, and I know he was a curate, lint 1 did uot know there was any money in mo inmny. "If you think it worth while go to Messrs.

"Or fivo pounds, more likely," supple mented the stitcher Barbara laughed. "I'd rather think or tho thousands, Mrs. Stewart; they would bo very much moro to my advantnge."- "I know of something that would bo moro to your advautago than all tho money you nro over likely to get from advertisements, if you had but tho good seuso to sco it," returned that'Iady sig nificantly. Barbara flushed ns slw left tho room to get her cloak and bonnet nnd set out for home, Slio was tho music mistress In Mrs. Stewart's school, and had been ono of tho most promising pupils in it boforo that; sho was almost alone in tho world, except for a distant aunt with whom sho lived, and after school days ended it becamo necessary that she Bhould do something toward keeping up tho littlo household, sho had been very glad when Mrs. Stowarfs proposal to retain her for the younger girls' mnsio lessons saved her from applying to strangers. Still, notwithstanding her obligations. thero were times when Barbara felt' strongly disposed to protest ngaiust that lady's authority, which was pretty much as it had been in tho days when she-was "quite a child," ns Barbara often phrased it to herself. "Sho nover seems to ro member that I am grown up and ablo to manago my own affairs. It does not follow that because I was her pupil onco sho has any right to interfcro in the mat ter now." She was marching down tho road, her head well up, whilo sho argued tho mat; ter out to her own satisfaction, when somo ono quietly fell into step behind her. Tho shadow vanished from her brow like morning mist ns sho looked up. "What aro you in such a hurry for? I could scarcely keep you in sight," in quired the nowcomcr. It was tho Subject of Mrs. Stowart's admonition, her drawing master clover enough at Ms profession, but of his Industry nnd general dependablcness sho had not tho highest opinion. Not so Miss Barbara, who was fast developiag a very warm sentiment for tho good looking young artist. "I nm going home to deposit my music; after that I think of making a journey Into tho city, to King stroet," "King street! That is an expedition." "Isn't itl But I have somo idea of coming into a fortune, and that is tho placo 1 am to apply to." Mr. Lawrence's face showed such gen uine interest in tho news that Barbara speedily told him all sho knew, perhaps with a littlo unconscious exaggeration by way of justifying her first announce ment. You will bo Euro aud lot me know tho result of your expedition?" ho said earnestly, with a lingering clasp of her hand, as ho left her at tho corner of her own street. "1 shall bo anxious to hear, and no ono deserves such a fortune bet ter than yoursolf." In lung street sho ran full against a plain, rather commocplaca young man coming out of ono of tho warehouses. "Why, Miss Barbar.it it's uot often you find your way to this quarter," he said, as ho held out his hand. It was a brown. ungloved hand, and bore evident traces of hard servico. Barbara gavo the tips of her fingers rather coolly, contrasting it with tho well shaped, yellow gloved one that had pressed her a littlo beforo. I camoon some business, Mr. Urant, she said. "1 beliove thero is a legacy waiting forme. It was advertised In tho papers, and 1 am going to see tho so licitors nbout It now." John Urant laughed. "Well, I hope you may get it, Miss Barbara. For myself, I've never had much fsitli In legacies since I wasted twenty-five shillings onco In answering advertisements about one." "That may have been a very different matter from this," returned Barbara stiffly. "I had better not detain you any longer, Mr. Urant.' "And that is the man Mrs. Stewart thinks is worth half a dozen of Alfred Lawrence," said Barbara to herself, as site walked into Messrs. Dodd & Son's office. "It seems to be a decided virtue in some people's eyes to have coarse hands and shabby coats." Her face was several shades longer when she camo out again. Messrs. Dodd & Sou had not leceived her with by any means the respectful enthusiasm she had expected. There liad been awkward questions about proofs aud genealogies that she had not been prepared to an swer; indeed, she half fancied that they took her for an imHihlor, they had been so reluctant to part with any informa tion. She sbuuld he f : nm them in a few days, and in tbe i... .uioiue she must kindly fill in tbe auswera tocertaiu ques tions on a paper they bad given her. Mr. Lawrence sympathized with her over the delay almost as deeply as she did with herself when she told him the result ot her visit the next day. Barbara was quite struck with the way he seem ed to enter into all her feelino. John Grant was the next person to wnotn she had In explain Iternonaao- cess. "Just what I expected. Miss Bar bara," said he cheerfully "One is never sure cf u chance of that kind till one actually has it I wouldn't build upon it if I were in roar place." "Yon don't seem to have bad a fortu nate experience in that way, retorted liar bars ungratefully, "it Is only de ferred.in this case, and I am In no harry for a few days." "Days!" echoed John 'A man iu our office has waited years, and is likely to wait, so far as 1 can see." Ten days later came the much looked for communication from Dodd ifc Bon. "We are in receipt of Itiss Reed's paper, and would assure her the matter snail have our beat atteutiOn," etc. Barbara Hung it into her desk with a disappointed face It was tedious to be obliged to wait in suspense liko this. She would scarcely kuow how to get through the time bnt for Mr Lawrence's atten tion and warm iutereat in the upshot John Qrant's ludifference, not to say skepticism, on the subject, thiew up his rival s superior qualme m full rebel , and yet there were times when Barbara felt just a little paulod that Hr.

With all hia solicitude and looks that meant more tuau words, he never absolutely com uiltted himself to anything more laud $1.00 ing than 'the were t friendship "1 oan't. nk him," she said one day under her kreath, as sho walked slowly home after one of .these "accidental" meetings. "But I do wish he wouldsoy straight out what ho means or else stay away altogether It makes ono feel un settled." Poor Barbara felt moro unsettled still before she reached home. It was a lovely summer evening, aud fifty yards further on she win joined by another cavalier, John Urant this time. Sho shrunk back at first, half afraid of some jesting re mark obout tho legacy, but she soon dis covered that he had quito forgotten the matter There was something else on his mind, and ho lost no time in saying very straight out what it was. "I may uot be nble lo offer you a line bouse and luxuries," hesaid, "but I havo saved plenty to begin in comfort, nnd 1 think wo might be very happy together if yott wonkl ouly try. I havo thought about It for tbe last two years, and worked hard to be nblo to tell you so." Barbara looked up at him with genu ine tears in her oyes, "I am so sorry!" sho said. "I nover thought of such n thing at least, not in earnest," ns she remembered sundry ro marks of Mis. Stewsrt's. "Besides, there's lots of other bettor girli yon might find." "That is uot to the point," ho inter rupted; "it Is you, not other girls, I want Try nnd think of it, Barbara. 1 don't want te hurry yon, but let me have a lino as soon as you can; it means a good deal to mo." For another week or two things con tinued to go in much tho same fashion. Mrs. Stewart wore a chronic air of dis approval. John Urant was Invisible. Only Mr. Lawrenco was to the f oro with his sympathetic inquiries, but in somo mysterious way Barbara beean to find them irritating rather than flattering. Sho got tired of giving tho eamo re sponse, "Nothing yet," and of hearing the same polite remarks about his con corn nnd admiration of her They did not go deep enough. At last on Saturday morning, as she was setting out for Mrs. Stewart's, she met tho postman, who gavo her a blue, official looking envelope. Barbara stood still on the step, holding her breath as she opened it "Messrs. Dodd & Sou's compliments to Miss Iteed, and bog to inform her that Mrs. Elizabeth Drake has been proved tho nearest of kin, and conse quently heir-at-law to the 500 left by tno lato air.

Sho had scarcely realized beforo how much sho had lieen counting upon it. 1 hero was nothing left now but to put ou a bravo faco and mako the best of it. As Barbara crossed tho hall to the schoolroom that afternoon sho en countered Mr. Lawrence. He was standing at tho tablo buttoning his light gloves. She saw at tho firbt glanco that Mrs. Stownrt had told hlin of her disappointment. She hesitated ono in stant, then went straight up to him. "You see I am not come into a fortune after all," sho said quietly. "bo it seems," no 6ald coldly, not look ing up from a refractory button. "But It was not much of a fortune, anyway. I thought it was to bo fivo or six times that amount." "I wish I had nover beard of it," spoke Barbara, looking at him In scornful sur- priso. "It has been nothing but an up set and annoyance from the first." "Y-es, ratucr a pity disappointing, and waste of time too. Well, I'm go ing into tho country for n few weeks. Miss Iteed, so good afternoon If I don't chanco to seo yon again." "Good afternoon," returned Barbara, with a frigid bow, as sho opened the schoolroom door. A tiny noto was dropped Into tho let ter box that samo evening addressed to Mr. John Urant "Dear John," it ran; "I'm not half good enough for you, but if you wish it -I'll try." It was uot per ham a great achieve ment in tlio way of composition for a young lady who had been under Mrs. Stewart's guidance for so long, but it perfectly satisfied tho person it was in tended for, nnd much loftier epistles hare often fulled in this respect. "Mrs. Stewart, that unfortunate legacy was something to my advantage after all," Mrs. John Grant said onco some months later.

He had fought bravely, aud was one of the last men who came down to the bridge, over which the division was re treating.
