There's plenty grief for every soul
Whose home Is here below.

One grieves bei•attse he's ovorstont,
One mourns that he is thin; • •
Give each his Wish, you change the tune,
Dui cannot change the din.
The farmer's boy would change his geld

Wonla have It black as jet ;

Much rather be brunette?

Of life's fast ekAing spin.

OnO item. she had liept back,
just as she had kept one name out of

knew that for love - of Siilqey Claire's

She had wondered then how any

gentle Sidney,- and was teaching the
village school when Ronald won her
love. She never knew that the an
nouncement of this engagement'
struck a heavy blow upon Maxwell's
heart, for there was no coquetry in
her nature,- and her one true love had
absorbed her heart.
" There is one piece of news I have.

. Maxwell shivered. All Silverton
knew the danger of those great, gap

"They were all thrown out Jessie

injured, his spine and brain are both
seriously affected. ,Sidney 'was but
little hurt, has quite recovered, brit

Max. her only child - dead, her hus

" Dying !"said Maxwell, hoarsely,
"is it so bad fui that ?". ' -
"Dr. Smith says he may liVe for

and he will be but a helpless cripple
while he does live!"

REGARDLESS OE DENUNCIATIO
"It was. not a, long 'walk to a
little cottage'. it had . Wein Sifirees
pride to make cheery and hOme-lile,
and Maxwell was soon in the parlor.
It was shut .up with crape upon the
window - shades, arid looked cold and
neglected, Presesently a little, pale
woman, with eyes haggard with
weeping and watching came in.
'But the eyes brighrened, when Sid
iley.saw who her visitor
“ Max ! how glad I aid to see you'!"
It was a cordially glad welcome,
too, Max could - easily, see, and he
took.the little hand extended to him
ilk a warriclasp.
"'Sidney* Where are you ?"
'This voic *pia .the next room
was feeble and. iluertilous. Was it
possible , ltonald's•yiriging voice 'had
fallen to this?
While Max askedilimself the ques ,
tign; Sidney answered it.
"Ronald misses me if I lea,ve . the.
room a moment" she said, " so you
will excuse me if I invite you in his
room. We could not carry him up.
stairs."
She led the.tway - as she spoke, to
•
the next room: H_ ere there was no
look of neglect. Upon the bed was
stretched a tall, helpless figure cant
fully dressed, and. in every detail the
room .shone brightly. Mg shaded
windows admitted the soft7llay air,
spring' flowers' wire in -little
,vases .
upon the table and manteliiiece, and
an open book lay near thelavalisi'S
hand.
" Noland, here is Max," Sidney
said. - . .
" Max ! Max !" Roland repeated.
" I hope you are all well, sir."
"I thought- he , would• know i i o/1,"
Sidney tnurmered, her eyes .misty
with tears.
But it was evident that poor Rol
and had no idea. who his visitor was.
lie talked feebly and without connec
tion in his words, only coutentid
when Sidney was close beside him.
ff, she went across the room, the
16kpus cry of . Sidney, ." where are

You know it is a mouth since lie
was hurt, and I have used all the
money. we had. I am afraid
4,liat Jane cannot draw the 'money in
Lank, anti I cannot leave-the room.
I f m gone any minutes Roland
tries to rise and follow me, and the
effort throws hitn into terrible convul
sions of Pajn."
" understand ! Give me the
check. I will \ gst, the money at once."
" What is Roland Ogden's balance
at the bank ?" wasffe question Max
well* Fisher asked his uncle, one of
the director's an hourlnter ••
"I will see I ' \*
And 'presently the answer c.im
" Three hundred dollars." \
" 1-1 9 in ! Mrs., Ogden wishes :t9

" Poor child ! Have you seen
Ronald ?" asked the old gentleman,
kindly.
I called there this morning.
There is very little any one can do.
Ronald will not 16t his wife go ten
yards from his side."
• " Sad case, very sad."'
And more than once ax.we
echoed those words in his heart as he
saw more of the suffering of the in
'oral man and the devotion of his
wife. Utterly- ignorant of any busi
ness, Sidney thankfully accepted
Maxwell's offer to attend to all such
matters as Jane -could , not manage
outside Of the - house,- and gave him
always the checks Ronald drew, an i
the bank hook of the-injured man.
For in all that concerned Sidney
the clouded brain was singularly
clear. Ronald understood, when
Sidney asked for motley, that he was
to sign the check MaxW her
to till-up; he know when. Jati
ed him to eat, take his .1, to
submit to all her t inis
tration ; lie missed her wed
from his side, and had a pathetically
teader smile to greet her care s s,
Often when he had lain for hours in
dull stupor, he would gently draw
his wife down - until 'her lips touched
his, and whisper a loving word. „
But outsidn„of this one love, Ron
ald's mind was„a blank. Ile suffered
intensely...at - times, and lay often dull
ed by opiates, and very slowly his
bark Of• life drifted towards eternity.
Mrs.. Fisher was a wanstant friend,
coming' tothe cottage every day,
sending the choicest fruit from her
ektensiVe,garden, the daintiest fruit
from her kitchen, to Ronald, and
Maxwell knew that there was always
a - sympathizing, motherly affection
near Sidney. Not 'one thottght that
was.not loyal to both Ronald and his
wife - ever crossed Mt&well's noble'
heart; but *hen the end came and.
Sidney followed her dead (Mee more
to the cemetry, Maxwell Fisher left
his home for another trip abroad.
It did.not need. any very eloquent
pleading to induce Sidney to 'accept
a position suddenly opened to her,
that of) companion to old Mrs. Fish
er. Very delicately it was offered,
dr-d the cottage was vacated, - the fur
niture sold, and the little pale widow
received into hernew
r home.,
'ln its kindly, atmosphere some ! of
the bitterness of her loss left Sidney's
heart, and.. Once more the
,bloom of
health came into her fair face,. and
her voice lost its hopeleis tone.
She did not think that Maxwell staid
abroad for her sake; and his mother
bore the second absence more cheer
fully . than the first, for Sidney was
like another child_
her, a gentle
winsome woman, who clung to her
as a danghter might have done.
" Sidney; dear," she. said, one morn
fling; " Max is coming home."
" That is good neWsl It is three
