WHO SUFIEHED?
AH APPJCL STORY
BY FAITL1 FARLEIGH.
"Ah. what a tanglod web ws weave ;
rt hen first we venture to deceive." Scott.
"Just look at that girl. Did you ever
see any one put on such airs? Look, Net
tie," said Georgia llaymotid, dirt'isting Iter
friend's glance toward a tall, dignified girl,
who was attending one of the confectionary
tables iu the Orphan's Fair.
'Why I do not seo anything nnpleasant
iu her deportment, and 1 certainly should
if she was doing as you say She is very
lady-like, I thiuk ; but by no means pretty
enough to have incurred the jpalouty ot
Georgie Itaymond, the acknowledged belle
of C ," answered Nettie.
"ludecd, I'm not jealous of her, but I
confess I dislike her very much."
'So I should thiuk but do, for mercy's
sake, Georgia, try and change your expres
sion, and look a little more pleasing. I de
clare, here comes Frank IiuverGeld. Quick,
call up your smiles or he will be frightened
away." '
Frank was by their side soon after and
was welcomed by a bewitching suiile from
the beauty. After a lew muuieuts' coovor
satiou, he asked :
"AVho is that ycung lady assisting at
Jlrs. Daitiurd'stable ? That pale, queenly
looking girl, I mean ?"
"I'm not acquainted with her," Georgie
replied, the uuplei saut expression stealing
agaiu over her features j but a warning look
from Nettie caused her to cast it forth, and
smile so sweetly again that for the time
Frank ceased to think of any save the
beautiful one at his fide.
Soon other gentlemen gathered round
Georgie and Nettie, and Frank whispered
to the former :
"I see Mrs. Daiuard beekuing me.
You will excuse me a bhort time, and do
uot make any eugagetneut for going home.
Allow me that pleasure ?"
Georgie again smiled, that tweet deceiving
smile. I3ut in her heart were thoughts
that would have bauithed Jirs. Daiuard,
her table, and the attendants, from the face
of the earth, if thoughts could have
availed.
What was Georgk's chagrin, a few mo
ments after to see Frank conversing with the
ohjict cf her dislike. Dut she was restored
to a belter humor when he returned to her
side again after having been away less thau
half an hour.
'Well, Mr. AaverGeld, you were ktro
dueed to the queenly girl who is fcho'f"
asked Nettie.
' Yes, I have had the pleasure of an in
trodnctiou to Miss Forrest. iShe is a par
ticular friend of Mis. Baioard," answered
Faauk. .
"She couldn't have exerted herself to be
agreeable, I fancy, or you would have ling
ered longer by Ler bide, said Georgie,
archly.
"Well, she is rather reserved, and really
offcred no iuducement for me to remain
away from more agreeable company. 1
guess there is no danger ot my keeping
any one else from enjoyiug her society that
wishes to. Id trutn I'd sooner look at than
thulk to her," auswered Frank.
lie was very utteutive to Georgia the test
of the evening, and going home, was so
watchful ior her own comfort, insisting on
folding ber wiapper clostly tirouud her, aud
seeing' that she did uot suffer from the
Marh winds, that Georgie was almost cou-
fidcut she could w iu him it she willed.
Indeed, she thought most likely he would
ask her to be Lis, the first oppertuuity that
offered.
Nettie Aylnier remained over night with
her friends, aud after their escorts had gone,
the girls retired to their room to have a
good talk over the events of the evening.
"Now, Georgia, tell me why you dislike
Mits Forrest V
"Dislike ! I almost detest Edna Forrest !
I do not know how it is, but really, I be
lieve that gill is my evil genius. She is
continually crossing my path, unplcasnt-ly-
"Why did I not hear you tell Frank you
were not acquainted with her f" asked
Nettie,
"Yes, I should have said, though, that I
did not recoynize her, I Do not choose to.
I will tell you about her. We were school
mates, and in the same class. Until she
came', I was acknowledged the first in near
ly all pur studdies. She Boon took my
place at the bead of the class, and received
the. prize, which I had thought to gain: I
I could have borncTit better from any oth
er, ftfid with that proud quiet air, she re
oeived it ai if it were .' only ' her just
due. Alterward, in similar contests she
excelled mo ; and last wiutcr she agnin
crossed my path iu a manner mojjo aggri
vating. You have hca:d of .Morton Da
venport?" "Yes, where is he 'now J" '
"In Europe, recruiting his health. But
1,11 tell you about him. lie came here to
supply the place of our pastor, who was
then traveling for h! health well of course
the girls all did their bc3t to catch him.
Y'oung, unmarried, talented, v.ery handsome,
aud the ouly child of an immensly wealthy
father, of couase ho was a great, favorite. 1
realy liked him very much j and here again
I felt quite hopeful of securing his pteler-
I ence, when the first thing 1 knew, and ev
ery one else knew, that artful girl, with
her quiet dignified manner as you say, had
certaiuly woii hi attention, if not hi heart.
Tho next thing it was whispered she had
rejected, him I cannot believe tin's though.
However no one eli;e icon him aud he
went away, many say hcart-brokeu. AW
do you uot thiuk I Lave cause to dislike
Let ?"
A quiet little smilo' was Nettie,s only
answer to the questiou, and she askt-d:
"What archer cicumstanccs ? I noticed
she wr.s dressed very pl iinly. Is thnt stylo
an ailed ion, or a necessity ?" asked Nettie.
'"No that is because she cannot dress
fashionably. Her mother is a widow, and
quite poor. It is wonderful to mo how
they arc received iu good Bocicty, I believe.
Mrs. Forrest was discarded by her uncle,
whose adopted child she was, because of
her marriage, which was much against his
wish I think tln-y are entirely supported
by Ednu's work painting, embroidering,
ind so on. I've heard that she is confident
ol coming iuto posession of her uncle's
wealth sometime, for Mrs. Foirest is the
nearest relutivu the old gentleman has.
Aud really, I suppose that is why she holds
her head so high. I'd just l:ke to play
her some tiick about that. What cau I
do ? Let me think ?'
"Oh, Georgie ! Fray dont foci so ugly
towurd her. lleally you have no just
cuuso "
"I do not care; I will. Oh, yes, and
I've a thought now ! Day after to-morrow
v.-ill be the first of April. I will just write
a little advertisement thus
" 'If Elenor Forrest, or any of her heirs,
will call at No. 00 Bond st, at the agency of
Fierce & Co., they w ill lrear of somethiug
very much to their advantage ' "
"No, no, Georgie, you must not Be
sides, suppose you should bo found out ?"
"I will ; and I dou't care much if 1
should be. I have neither father nor broth
er to be called to aecouut, aud I do uot
think tiny one will come after me. You
don't know hall of the fun yet. No. !)0
is Ihe office of old Lawyer Viercc the
crossest, uggliest aid bachelor that ever
lived. It's said he was crossed in love,
aud has hated all womaukiud since. His
uanio ought to to be Fierce. Dou't you
see. now, tho fun ? She will go there, find
him, aud find out. too, that there is uo such
office as that f Fierce & Co. In the of
fice, studying, is Fred. Merriman. He will
see the joke, aud won't it fly ! Edna will
never hear tho last of it. 1 will write it
before I sleep, aud get It carried to. the
morning papers early to-morrow. The uext
day she will see it. And I shall hear the
result."
Aud so Georgie did as she said she would,
despite all her fiiend could say against it,
April the first Edua Foirest saw the ad
vertisement, aud both she and Ler mother
thought, of course, it was uews from the
uucle.
No tinie was lost before Edua, looking
pretty, her cheeks flushed by her long walk
aud hope sparkling iu her eyes, presented
herself at No. 06.
She told her busiucss and produced the
slip cut from the morning paper.
The old lawyer looked at her sharply,
and crossly, too ; opened Lis mouth to say
something unpleasant, v. Leu he stopped,
looked at Edua more intently, thcu more
kindly, and fiually, to the cstonishmeut of
young Merriman, left his desk, and, pre
senting a chair to tlje young lady, said, iu
a tone never heard from Lim before iu tbaf
office:
Sit down, my child. Aud I will look
iuto this matfev."
lie took the slip, read it again, and theu
said :
"This is the number aud street, certain
ly j but we have no agency office Lore.
And I kuow none of that name. F'iercc
& Co.? Mcrrimin, do you ?" ho asked of
the young man.
Merritnau's face was convulsed with his
effort to restrain his laughter. lie at
tempted to speak in reply, when his mirth
broke forth, and he said :
"Please exsuce me, but I think it is
eithrr a mistake or an intentional intention
al altering of the first fctcer and F for.
the P."
Lawyer understood it then, and ho said j
"I'll give a hundred dollars to find out
who did this. My dear young lady, this
is iuteuded for a juke on one us perhap?
buth. Fierce k Co. ! I wish I could find
out who did did it? I would, givo them
cause to call me inrcr."
DoorE'lim ! Her calm dignity deserted
her thin lips were quivering as she arose to
leave.
Just then, whshould slop into the of
fice but Frank. IlaverrielJ. He immediate
ly recognized Edna and bowed.
"?'op a few moments, Miss Forrest. Mr.
Havcrfield is a shrewed young-lawyer he
may help us iu this matter." And he han
ded Frank the advertisement. Frank
glaanced an instant at it, and then his hand
some face flushed angrily, and he poiuted
to the date April 1st.
"Yes, yes, Miss Eorrest, some malignant
person has done this for au April trick. I
may fiud out who. Will you bo kind
enough to irive mo your address, and I will
coufor with you if it should be sc ?"
"What has come over the man always
before so crops and fierce to every other
woman that had entered that ofik'o ?" Mer
riman and Frank wondered in vain. Ho
even followed Edna to the door and when
Frank said : '
' Excuse tre, Mr. Fierce, I will he hock
after a while that is, if Miss Forrest will
permit me to walk with her home?" Edna
would sooner have gtyne alone ; but she
could not be rude, and so smiled her con
sent. The old lawyer returned to his desk, a
softer light glowing in his eye thau had
ever been seeu by any one fur many long
year.?. What could it mean ? Had the
old geut'.cmau the wouitiu hater fallen
iu love ?
G corse (Miurehchill was walking with
her friend, anil just then, talking about the
joke, when she caught sight of Edua com
ing up the street, encorted by her particu
lar favorite, Frank Ilave'ifLdd.
There was no g3tting out of tho way
she would havo to meut them. And so
with a very beautiful smile, she acknovi lod
ged Frank's bow. But oh ! the rage that
was hid for the moment beneath that de
cicving smile.
I think il she had been anywhere but in
the slreet, she would have screamed and
torn her hair such a temper as she was
in.
Still worse she felt in the evening, when
young Merriman cauia in, nu 1 instead of
giving a humorous account of the sctne of
the morning, ho oxpressed disapprobation
and spoke so highly of Edna's appearance
aud manner, and finally wound up by ex
pressing bis great suprise at Lawyer Pierce's
kindness, aud said :
"After all, I should not wonder if that
would prove to the young lady's advantage,
somehow."
dust then Frank presented himself, and
explained the mystery of the lawyer's con
duct. lie had a fow moments before left Mr.
Fieaee, who wa3 ou hU way to fiud Edna's
home.
It appeared that, years before, Er. Pierce
had conceived a passion for Mrs. Furrest;
and it was his love foi her which hud kept
t 1,1 1 -r. nit
turn a oacncior so long, it was Jjuna s
great resemblance to her mother that wou
for her such a kind reception. Aud ou
learning tV.t the one he had lyved all these
years was a widow, he was goiug to renew
his acquaintance who cculd tell but, per
haps, with better luck this time ?
During the evcuing, Frank asked Georgie
for a pencil, to make a memorandum of some
music he wanted to bring Ler, aud bhe bid
Ilia, get one from her writing desk.
He opened it to rind otie, aud rather awk
wardly upset a lot of papers. While pick
ing theui up, his eye caught a few words
wiitteu on a sheet, that iu a measure ex
plained the scene of the morning :
"II Edua Forrest will call at No. OC "
That was all. There was a large blot on
the sheet, probacly ior which it had been
discarded.
Frauk did uot linger that evening as
usual, but eoon bade adieu, and left with
young Merriman, to whom he told what
he had euen' ,
"Can she have done such a cruel act ?
I would not. I can not think sa," he adoVd
"I kuow Goorgie dislikes Miss Forrest
I've heard her say so. I guess you have
found the truth," answered Merriman.
Tho next evrn'iT found Frank with
Edna insteol of Georgie; and when, by
apparently caroler remarks, he found out
the acq'iaintaiice tli.it lor mcrly existed be
tween the yoi'tig u'rle, he felt sure then
that Georgie was the truth r of that Cruel
joke. The more he saw ol Edna, the bct
.er he ll!:cd her, and soon felt the power
that had wen lor he: the uiLetini of many
others.
Georgie bitterly regretted her April f.'ck.
Sho knew nftrsward that she had sent Edna
to win uot ouly what slio'herself had lost
the love of true aud noble heart. but had
been tho means of making Edna remember
that April day us the luckiest -of .her life.
From that time blossiugs seemed to crowd
upon her.
The uncle's forg'veness was easily gains 1
when his fiiend, AVui. Pierce presented to
him tho loug-cstrauged uiece as his wife at
last although she had not loved him in
her early youth, she rewarded his
devotion and coustane.f wiih true wom uiiy
affection
Before another year, Frauk and Eduu
were married, and came to live in the city,
in a style of magnificence unsurpassed.
Georgie would like much now to renew
the school aequaiutancc, for Edna's recep
tions are very brilliant and select, L'it slu
tl ires not, as she feels quite sure Frauk dis
covered her malice.
She is still unmarried, and will likel y re
main so until sne uproots me ursuguru:;;
traits in her character. She has icccived
a severe lesson, and is wise enough now on
that subject to know that evil intcution.t
may result iu happy conclusions Acu'
