Mr. Barnwell sak no more ; he never argued. But I _ . could see he did not agree with me. I stopped in front of a shabby lit tle house. ."l'his is where -Wagoner lives," I said. 1 1 had known the Wagoners, hus band and wife, for some months. Mrs. Wa!roner did my washing, and Mr. Wiyroner carried home the bas ket. 1 had employed her oriainally, because she needed 'the work. She did it so badly, what'with scorching, mildewing, burning, that I despaired MO expostulated. She looked help le4,s • hut herhusband looked as tho' abrrdit idea had struck him. After that there was a marked , improve ment. 1 suspected him of becoming SHELVES my washerman. It was on the urea-. sion of one of his .weel• ly trips to my house that he had requested an inter view with me, and had presented me with a bouquet,: unpinned from a conical newspaper laridle. I was not unfamiliar with his bouquets, which. were usually compounded of balsams said marigolds, and•of the unknown herbs or unsawry smell which grow in the gardens of Philis tia. Having made this presentation, he said, with sonic slight hesitation, that lie had something to show me. " A new paten', mks." Ile was nominally a cobbler by trade. k" Something you use in your shoemaking?" I suggested. I thought he meant pattern. To this-day lam n'ot•sure that he did not. " Oh, certainly, miss." (Ile always began by saying, " Oh, certainly," whether he ultimately agreed or Ilk.' agreed.) " No, miss : it's a kind of a little wagon I've been a-studyin' out. It works real easy. It's a right handy little thing, miss.

I mounted the trap, feeling myself somewhat ridiculous, and yet wishing to encourage inventive genius. 1 moved the crank, as directed, and oil I started in the bright moonlight. The, group in front 'of our house laughed encouragingly. Some one , aid 1 looked like Peggy some one or Other, who went to some fair or other. "It is a capital thing, Wag pner," I said, having climbed „out again. " You are Wagoner by name and Wa!=oner by nature,are'nt you?" " Oh, certainly, miss. Yes, miss.

Do you think l it would be as safe?" . "-Oh, certainly, miss. 1 y6., , , I reek en you're right. That's so." '• It was extremely clever in you, Wagoher, to think it out," I purt:ilied, relaxing from criticism into compli meaty. It is really remitikable." lie laughed a good deal—he had a habitual nervous laugh—in a. grati fied way at this, and presently, after much bowing and scraping, clattered away down the street. Fred . Leigh- ton and Mr. Barnwell bad both been spending 'the evening with me, and were present now. - Fred took his hands out of his pocket to say, "I saw a cart that%worked on that same plinel pie in Baltimore the other day) " Oh, Frecl, you didn't:" "Fact. l'ity about that inventive friend of yours." "I am very sorry: I. was thinking he might get out a patent for it, am! make money by it. Ile is so pour' Oh! wish you would give him your Loots - to mend. That is his trade." " I'll try him," Fred agreed. Mr. Barnwell was more eneourfT ing.than Fred. Ile declared himself' interested in my protege. "I would like to have a talk with him in his rorkshop. , He tells me he has sev eral other leetle idees ' he has been studyiu' out that he would like to show off." " I know where he liws: I'll go with you," I said . , grasping at the notion. Mr. Barnwell was one of those apple-checked, prematurely bald, natty persons who have a natural predispoSition to benevolence. '• In my mind's eye ' 7 I beheld WaSoner's tot tune '-assured, if Mr. Barnwell would oniv befriend him. Which brings me hack to where began.' That-Wps day before yester day. And here are Mr. liarnWill and I now, having met by ehance the-usual way," rapping :it Wagon er's door. lie opens it himself, amfushers us first into a little shop. then into a little hack room.. "No nee 4I to knock," he explains. "Customers allays walk right The little shop was furnished with a counter. Undera glass case were a little candy, a few cakes, a kw pa,. per flowers. I doubt whether trade in these articles Was brisk. I fear the - Wagoners had too many irons in the lire to succeed at one thing. Mrs. Wagoner was sewing in one corner of the hack room on a gaudy patch : -work quilt. In an opposite corner was a eobler's bench. The husband and wife were in direct coni trast to each other. She. was a pr ' young mulatto woman, with soft gazelle eyes and a half-asleep air. lie was as wide-awake looking as his companion was inert, of a light ea n• an lad color, which he would have characterized himself as " hright;" eyes strikingly large 'and observant; hair almost straight,. Ile was all :IC6OII, with he: rtYqesire to please every gesture. Mr. Barnwell rubbed his hands together in his hearty way. "So you sit and.sew while your husband works," he tem:al:v(l to Mrs. Wag oner. She replied, " Yes. sir,': dreatnily. Wa!roner added, " ' indeed, miss." with quadrilple animation. " It is certainlyvverra , Jeenble for a gentleman .to have his occupation, :11111 for rr 'lady to have hers, and for they both to carry them. on together.'' Sirs. Wagoner produeed a hair ring she had been plaiting. This was another of her industries. "It is really very Lief', Lou," I said ; at which praise she smiled and sighed, and cast down her g: zelle eyeS pret tily. Wagoner hail already remarked to both his visitors: "We would be extremely prowl if you would set down. . Oh, 'certainly. It's all in a lifetime, as the sayill , is.'' After a brief pii.riod, apparently deflig,ncd for the purpoAe of taking breath, lie pro ceeded ty exhibit his " leetle hives." First of all an article which looked like a mouse trap, but, which he ex plained was a paten' desig,ned to lift heavy weights. lie moved little hits of wire about, and explained to me the different points of the contri vance. • It seemed to, me extremely ingeii us, and I told him so. " Oh, yes, miss, it's a very niee.af fair: There's nothing exaely like it. Certainly, miss and - sir. Look at this here other leetle notion, sir. It's a swing. It's a worked bacgards'and for'ards by jest a pressin' this here board with the foot. 1 never see nothin' like this. Certainly, sir. I am allays a thinkin' out theseileetle things.

Don't look at it too'close, miss. It's put together real rough. But I'm not nothin' of a carpenter, nor yet a wheelwright And• so—" fin ishing off with 14usual little nervous I was .cheered to see that Mr. Barnwell was giving the subject lifs close attention. But, alas! he said to me presently, in the undertone he REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER. • ktew so well bow' to manage, " They _have some things like that on the railroad already—likC it to a T," indicating, the mouse4rap. Ile like wise criticise d the construction of the wagon, " Springs crooked," he objected. Next we were shown . ft go-cart which was propelled by a wind-mill. " It will be very nice on windy days," 1 declared. To which Wagoner add- ed : " Oh, certainly, miss," cheerily, and put it aside. "It occurred to me it was - a eur'ous notion allays nAllifikin' up these here eu rous notions when I have a spare hour or so. But here's soinethin' else, ladies and gentlemen, so to speak—some thin'.for the Fourth of July for the youngsters." "Another wagon!"

You see, sir, one boy sits in front, presses this here siiritig with his foot, like my other paten?, htind oir we air.

L ," Oh, certainly. Yes, indeed. That's so, miss." Mr. Barnwell had -walked up to the one window to examine vet. au- other patent more minutely inventor and exhibitor followed him Mr. Barnwell asked a number of questions in his easy; cheerful way. It ended in Wagoner's wrappint the paten' up in a piece of paper. and in Mr. liarnwell's puttingit in his pock et. " We'll see what. we can do— wel! see what we can do," Mr. Barn- well said, as he caught my eye, as who should say, "Isn't it about time to go?" " %Veil ?'' I,queried, when we were Out of ear-shot. " Poor soul! poor soul ! Nothing very practk•al about him. I have brought away a rather ingenius little conceit. I will take it l up to Wash- ington with me when I ao there next week, and idiow it to a friend of mine there, a patent lawyer. Wagoner may make a few dollars off it." Oh, thank you. That is just like you. You are always so good ! lle is so wretchedly poor!" 1 cried, a ll in a breath. • I communicated this possibility to Wagoner when next we met. Ile always brought my clothes home; Ile conside'red _that emphaticahy a, gentleman's occupation. " Certainly, miss. I liked that ar' gentleman's appearances, miss," he . averred. A day or so afterward I saw Fred. "That inventive friend of .yours is a fraud ; lie can't cobble worth a cent," lie declared. " I wasted it dollar and a-half on him looked over those • ideas' of his. That swing works crooked. Pshav ! Never heard of a colored inventor. yet." • Wagoner may be the earliest de velopment of the type." "Possibly. You're ,welcome ter your theory " That was an -uncomfortable period, when Fred and I were forever having a- difference, first about one thing, then about another. Ile says now that this fretted him as much as it did min, but I never dreamed .that this was the case. Mr. Barnwell was al‘Nays on hand to console toe if I chose; he almost literally devote.l.l himself to my amusenient and happi ness.

But we did, unexpectedly, as all the beauti ful, best things in life happen. Fred was ridiculously poor; but, neverthe less, on our reconciliation, we made up our minds to be married out of hand. Our kinsfolk and acquain tance were informed of . our , inten tions, and thin tune named forAhe • event. When I saw, Mr. Barnwell'for the first time after ; my engagement was announced, he shook bawls with me, ~~~ MI Mil his face as though east in iron, in the likeness of his wonted smile, ''and deathly, ghastly pale. I shall never forget that look. Tile next day he was found dead in his bed. Afterward- pois'on 'was suggested—that he had taken his own life ; lint at the time it was be lieved he had died of heart disease. Whichever•theory may -have been true, there can, be -nor doubt that his death was hastened by his ;,ecuniar2,-. entanglements.

' • r. lodge l.ciliton--.Freors father— was employed in settliip , the estate. Thus I learned of a good many de tails that would otherwise .have escaped me. One day Fred startled me by saying, " I had no idea that Barnwell was an inventor:" ...Nor had I." "It seems he was. lie had taken out a patent for an invention, which had-begun to pay moderately well. Five bundled dollars had been Paid in already on it before his death." `• Indeed ! Oh, Fred, tell me_ what it is It Like . ? Never saw such a girifor inventions and inventors. Like ? : 4 0ini , thing.like this." And he de serihed it to me. That at' ernoon I 'went to see the Wagoners. Lou was placidly iron ing, with the air of doing so in a ino meta of extreme leisure. Wagoner was 'cobbling; inventive genius was not above the humdriim necessity of earnin! , its bread. Wagoner -antici pated presently my'own introduction or the object of my visit.. • bb Did you "happen to have peered any remarks passed about that ar leetle paten'" of mine that Mr. Barn well war-a-seein' to for me, Miss?" " Nothing very satisfactory. I wish you Wont i descrihe that model to me, Wagoner.. I will inquire particular ly about it." r Whereupon Wagoifer described , ainntelv.
