OLIVE'S TWO LOVERgT
We were very fond of Tom, and vchen
he Hrt living crat his sign, "Thomas
Winchester, W D.," we atood behind
the shatters to see the commotion it
tmut naturally canse.
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,

"I know of something that would bo

money you nro over likely to get from

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

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

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

away altogether It makes ono feel un

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

Miss Reed folded up tho letter und
put it soberly Into her jacket pocket.
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. "I don't know what Mrs.
Elizabeth Drake did with it, but I do
know I would not change with her. The
