THE TWO LOVERS;
."11TE'RE GOING to talce„ some city

he put his . packages of sugar . - and tea
into the big basket he had -brought to
the store in his wagon. ,"Wife and I
be down to fetch 'em to . Morrow.
'There, is a lady and sottie children,

young lady, a great heiress. She is in
mourning for the uncle who,left the, prop ;
erty so she can't go to alively place. Quite
a young gal. and very pretty. Two pounds
of raisins, Mr. Jones, and some currants;
reckon a pound ) 11 dp."
News isne,ws- it the conntry. ' The
farmer's audience listened intently.-=-
The doetor—young pr. Phrl--'whO has
stepped in for letters, l 7 -the gore was also
the pcistollice-- took note of every - word,
and Marcus Morelaud, who had come, to
post a 'ietteralio remembered what th e . old '
man had said. AR 1)e walked .away,
"pretty. young
.girl," he' saiki to limseit
"An - heiress gets the reputation of, being .
pretty ; -probably she is not half so.niee
looking as farmer Parsod's own daugh-,
tvrE. lieiresserare apt to thick too much'
of themselves."' , ,„
"An heiress. Well I - shall go.oyer to
see Parsons pretty soon. No place like ;
the country for 4 coUrtship, and a fellOvir,
who marries an heiiess i need not wait!
year in arid year out to build up,his own

really. worth ? A great heiress. That
oughtn't to mean less :'thani a hUndred

with a nice little bank account of that
size. Young and pretty, :too, is a - rare

into his gig.
115 e. city hoarders' barne next day. The
loungeraut the.store saw their' get in to the
wagon—a fat younig matron and three
little , girls, a nutee,-a baby and a young
lady dressed in. mourning. :Thee store
keeper's wife noticed the elegant cut of
the over-skirt which the latter wore,
and more than one saw • the diamond ,
ring flash on her finger, but it was just
park and the beauty was not a settled
point, for no on could see ter face.
Marcus Iticireiand -who„ was the-poor
elergyman's-soo, and had just fought his
way through college , with prospect of
teachibg the male department of the dis
trict school that winter, as his best one,
while working ih -his lather's garden the
next morning, was ' planed in [a position
to judge on
,this matter.
He heard a little scream, and looking

'that hia eyed had ever rested upon.
That:afternOon sDr. Purl rode over to'
.Mrs. Parsoni, made a' call and , was intro- .

Mean While Marcus Moreland had been
thinking, about her more than 'law guess
ed, and thaf,' evening there was another
introduction., ,
Marcus did not make big eyes at her,
nor-try to - show his' superiority to his
neighbors, 'neither had he any gold watch
to consult. He was younger than the
doctor by ten' Years • and , very much of
boy,itill,-And the 'rising moon'found May
and her little _cousin Tom, and Marcus
alt sittng together on the lower step of
the porch, ;talking .blackberrying as
three children thight., ,
• The heiress wore a linen dress and a
knot of ,blue ribbon in her hair. Mar-'
Cus forgot that she was an heiress. It
was On ly a dear little , girl, just the nicest ,
.creature heever met, who looked at him
frankly withher blue eyes, not blue gray.
.He . went home in the first stages of love,
and sat at the window looking at the
'moon, and thinking of Bier nearly all
that night., .
_May, Dimple was very inexperi enced;.
and•very willing to think the best of
everybody;
At eighteen she was mistress of aline
fortune; and being an orphan, her Own:
mistress altogether. Her heart, was yet
a white unwritten .sheet,i, and { 411 e first
that Made -lOVe to her was likely to win
it. 'Vague 'longings for that peCuliar
tenderness which only a lover can offer
already possessed : her soul, and 'she waSi
iCIPt= the sort of 1,4' little woman to forget
her own advantages arid feel .very grate-*
fill for love and 'adintration. - The doctor
was tall and fine looking, and She caught '
'herself (plashing as she looked into the
glass after his departure and thought
what a aoft look had collie in LQ his eyes :
as• he hoped they should soon meet to- .
gether ae.ain."
Map had: never .had anything like.a

Matteis naturally : gamed this form
as the _time- passed on.. May bad two
lovers and 'hardly knew Whieb of them

MArcirs did not make love be did not
dare4—but looked , it. 'The doetor made
love seientifically; he had even'extract
ed fkoin" the ' 'Married ','cousin 'lt - statement
thrit "uneleleft everything to May.",
He had three.months 'to work in be
fore,the heiress' knew her' power, and
learaed; from one gay winter that lovers
folldw morteY thick arid fast, and he was
a determined sort of a fellow, where there
was'anything, to.get. ,
Marcus'his no 'plans. His boy'a heart
ran away with -hirn—that was all. He
could not keep away from. May's side,ner
forget her when they were apart, and sn
'summer passed and autumn approached,
and the.eity folks were going home, and
the district 'school was to be opened, and
cousin' Ellen's husband, .a hard driven
.street man, came down to spend a
week before he took his family home,and
all ,this rlelightful time was 'at =an end.
„ Marcus was to be examined for his spo
sitiob as a teacher of the school—a mere .
form with' Ills fine education. The doc- -
tor, .lu3 a learried gentleman, was one of
the , committee to examine the coming
sehoOl militn for the girl's department.'

MONTROSE, .p i *, NOV. 7. 15, 18 76.
especially as farmer Parsoni was another
,ot committee, and she felt an inte
rest L in i \ t, too, as . Marcus WBB to teach.—
It senile() so odd' to think of.
Cousin Helen's bialiand 'went about
Its men ustiallyfcle, and heard more in, a
clay than the li(diFs could in :a year. He
returned one-evening with-a soletnn faCn,
and informed his wifit- in ionfidenCe tit

oy
.he had' some bitter heal ,of
late . 0 'The fact that May's ;love was the
one thing worth having upon earth, had
dawned upon i him
' au& livith it, *the
knowledge that he had no right, to offer
.himaelf to an heireas: ~ H ow he hated her
; money. It stood between 'them like ari
awful spell.' It she had beerif: , the poor
'eat girl liVing he.enuld 'have said all that
`was in his,heart to her--not now.
SO the poor boy uttered a 'few faltering
words and went his way.
"It was folly- for me to think heliked
me much,"'said May as be left her:—
"Row formal and cold after all our-sOeia,-,
bility," and a little pang nipped her heart
and ahe smiled - more brightly on the doc
tor, when fib. entered the grove, than she
had ever smiled before. --
He made love to ,her that afternoon
after true story-book fashian.' On the
'stage at - he would have - eati.:ed
tender-hearted ladies to say, "how. sweet."
It was a pretty little scene rehearsed in
private. Had - May .but ;.known it 'the
night before ; mud no girl could have
failed to understand his parting words:
"To-morrow, before you leave, I must
see you. You will grant a private inter
view, t will you not ? I have, somethiing
of intense importance to 'myeSlf, at least,
to say to you. I—I—" a falter, a look, 'a
snatch at her hand, a touch of his lips
: upon it. •
Then the.ourtain should have dropped.
.1:16 rode away in bis gig,and said to Wm
,
self :
"I always wawa luCky fellow , —to think
that Providence should* have sent an
heiress to such a place as thik, 4Tretty
one too 1"
When May entered the house, surprise
awaited , her. Cousin Helen took her at
once to her bed-room, and there,- behind
closed doors, repeated her husband's in
formation.
"You know you are so young and in-.
experienced;" said she, "and a fOitune
bunter is such a dreadful creature."
May's face flushed crimson.
. "Do you really think nobody could
love me for myself ?" she asked in a 'bud
,
den - fit of . indignation.
Then common sense came to her aid:
She fiat quiet , for a while, and then drew
near het cousin and whispered something
in her ear. It was a long whisper.'
"I will prove him; and you will help
me," she said aloud. . '
•
Cousin - lielen promised, and May
tired to her own room, there to a
tew-not untiatdral tears.
Night passed—the mot ping came., The
school-house doors were ea' open for the
first time for mouths. The committee
was to meet at eleven to examine the can
didate for the teachers' positions.
Old-farmer Parsons walked over, also
farmer Brown. The dowsor was there,
and the lawyer, Kr. Triphimiter. Miss
Cynthia Alderney was seen walking to
w:n.o' the door with a defiant face: klieg
Baker followed with a scared one. Mar
ous Moreland took . his way in and juei,t
as all settled into their seats a little fig
ure in huff-litien, with 4, blue-ribbonsd.
hat on its head, slipped into one ol the
doors and stood among thetn.
• ".I , lay Ditiiple," said the doctor, ad
vancing with a gallant air
"Yes, sir," said May,- ,quietly. "I un
derstand you examine candidates to-day.
Lam fond Of teaching, and when,,one.
Must do something, one seizei every
chance, you know. May be examined ?"
,-,“1" suppose you are jesting, Miss
?" said the doctor. 4
"Not I," said May. "I suppose, :you,
have heard that foolish , story about Jne.
TWo or thrfe hundred dollars may be a
very pleasant' little sum to spend on a
summer vecation,but it dpesn't make one
a great heiress, you knoo.''
"Folks will talk," said farmer Par
sons, with. a twinkle in his eye. A poor
gal is as respectable Vaa a rich one, long
as she conducts proper. Set down Mies
Dimple." V
,
The doctor retiredVto ilia seat, • pale
and, rigid.. Marcus Moreland, or. the
contrary had flushed scarlet..
May's two lofers were 4 'strange con
trast at that - moment. ''For her own'
part ;she was quieter.' and Sadder and
more womanly than usually.
She went through the eatnination
braVely, under the fire of ,gl4l cynthiii's
indignant eyes and Mica Baker's despon.:
dent sighs. Then she walled haulm and
waited as she promised, in the garden.
Would the doctor keq his engagement.
He.did.

a need gag 'but not quite naturally, .
"I feared I should - scarcely ;get' here in

The man had made • such 'dupe"-
rate love;.io Ler•frae„oth#i 'day, ;who had
,defined his attentions toward her in
manner that no girl could inisunderstarid
had slipped calmly out of the aflair,;arid
she oould match him in
.cOlness, girl as
she was. .
They shook - hands.
''Adieu," said the doctor, with the true
Parsian accent, and jumped into his gig,
thanking heaven that he had . Escaped
making an .offer to
. a poor girl; ,
The.heiress stood_ by - -;the gate where
he left her ' .thanking .heaven much 'more
devotedly for her, escape.' Yet, I *shall
not say she was - happy, It was not in
nature ; for she had thought this man
her true, earnest lovor. Trie 'first bitter
thought that had ever troubled her young.
heart filled it now; her first glimpse of
real life was taken. As'Ae stood there;
she began to doubt whether there was
such a thing as true love.
-A. tear or two fell ; "she wiped . them
away, and through the! mist that . roiled
her eyes she saw a bright l -arAenp,young
face, stranger
,in C9ll tp9 p old,
fOrinal; . inimoVed obniftenaii6, wit h _ :its
handsome features and practised
that bad just pass -d from before her vie-'
ion. It was the.- face of Marcus More
land and , before she was aware of his
tention'he had passed his arm aronn
her' waist and kissed her. • •
"If I never do again linnet now," said
he. "I have never dare:l to tell you
while I thOught you so - rich, but I have
hived you since the first day we met.. We
are both poot ; let me fight the battle of
life for you. I can. do it-1 will do
God always prospers love like mine."
' The twilight shadows were creeping
over the scene. The distant mountains
were losing the faint rosetim. that \ they
had worn. A - soft sweet breeze sweat up
from the meadow full of the fragrince
of grass and clover. Did these thin&
bring, the sudden calm and sweetness to
May's wounded heart ?
She stood still, MakingMarcus . rin an
swer but she did not repulse him.
"Tell the that you like me a little,"
pleaded the bey.. •,
"I do like you, Marcus,"said May '"but
don't say any more, just now ; I, can't
tell you why, but this not the time ;,—; h
—l—just' say good bye, now Marcus,
must go away to-morrow ; but I will
write to you."
"Remember, my. love is life or death
to me," said darcus, and they parted:
One day when May felt that she had
nothing but scorn for her fortune buntL
ing doctnt she did write to Marcus .More
land, and *hat she 'said , may be inferred .
from the fact that they are. to be married
when the nextspring comes, and ,that
the people at the store, and doubtless the
doctor also, know that farmer Parsdne .
prettfyoung-toarder' was reelly and-a ct nally an heiress,' and that farmer Parl
