He it w-ji tvLo had taken the moth- erl-s child in Li strong arm when the mother lay dead, her heart broken by the cruelty and desertion of the (nan aha Lad eh sen for her husband. Twer.ty year tefor the date of our story, in a New Kngland village, a girl and boy Lad grown np together playmate, friends, lover; then in an evil day, ambition entered the heart of th girl, and she left the safe a- elusion of her country home Ut dwell in that great Live of workers, a big city.

Then he heard nothing more for two or three year, w"ben a whiHpT reached him that " 'Mandy Jonea" had been deaerted bf her hna land, who had gone to California, leaving her in Boston. Crump heard thewe talea and made no comment, but he gave np hi. work at home and nought employment in Uoeton, hoping that he might be en aided to htlp hi old playmate, whoso parent were long since dead, and who had no near kin to lend her aid. Thi, the only hope of hi life that waa to havo fruition, wo fulfilled, but Mandy waa dying when he found her, and her Iiat hour were aoothed by the knowledge thnt hrr little girl had found a new father in her old friend. 'Don't look for her father, William," the poor girl had implore hiro, "he don't care for her, and likely he'd let her drift. Ood know, nhe may be a blcHsing to yon by-and-by.

So William' step wn slow and heavy us he climbed the familiar stair, and hi utmost effort could not make hi greeting cheerful a he e.itered the room. For once he wa ' glad to es-apo her caresses and made ' hi way to hi room to chango hi clothing, its hud been hi invariable custom siiiee he had felt himself uuttt in hi oil-grimed garment to nurse ! the baby girl in her dainty white j raiment. A La entered in his cool ; clean seersucker coat, Auniee led him j to the table and waited on him deftly, , chatting merrily the while, for she had noticed that he wa not in hi nsual j good spirits, and thought that tho heat and Li work had wearied him. So sho lavished caressing attentions upon him, ttnw lttiug that each dear way but ad led to tho sum of Li auyuish and despair, Yes, despair, for never father loved 1 child better than he did hi adopted j niece, and in hi care for her he had j allowed himself to form no other tie. j Separated from her, he would bo like ' a tree blasted by lightning, like a ship i denuded of it rudder Mid rnast ami ; forced to complete a journey oyer ' rough seas. j At lost supper, which hsdseetned an , eternity to him, wa over, the dhthes put away, and then Annice brought her violin, and heavenly strain filled the garret room. To William, the ! music-lover, the rapturous strain j sounded like a requiem ; strange he ! thoughtfor feeling bad made hi brain strangely benuinld and cloudy that Anni ahould play her own re.piiem -or was it his? Then came the dreaded knock at the door ; he arose and felt that life waa ended for him a the stranger came is at the door- "Annice, dear, thi gentleman i " he panned, unable to tell her more, and hie hand trembled as he steadied it on the back of a chair and ahe, divining trouble, gaced intently on the visitor who had invadod their peaceful privacy. "I am a very near relative," said the stranger in a suave voice, in answer to her look $ "in fact, the nearest that ou could have. Can't you guess who am?" "I don't know. I didn't know that I had any relations, except Uncle Will." "Did you never hear your father spoken of?" "My father!" eiclalmed Annice in a-nar.ement, "no; I always supposed thnt I wan an orphan." "Would you hove wished me to tell her what I knew of her father?" aaked William slowly. A he spoke a picture rose before George Wilson. A bare, miserable room, himself ah, waa that disreputable-looking loafer really George Wilson a he had been a shabby, worn woman, whose tear and re proaches half maddened the wretch, until he forgot his manhood and struck her, awakening the sickly infant, which began to wail, and ho slunk from tho room forever. Hie portly, prospermia man shud dered und put forth hi hand n if to push something away from him : "Xo, no, no!" ho reiterated, "I tlmnk you, sir, as much for your re servation, a for your care of my of my daughter." A Wilson nttered the last word, do what h ) would, William Could not re press a groan, that one word meant to him loss tliu deepest, the most irre parable loss thut he could know; for it meant that hi one ewe lerub, hi blos som of love, phieked by him from the gutter of poverty and neglect and worn in hi bossom these many happy years, waa his no longer, but had passed into tho possession of another. Anuice, n the sound fell on her ears, was nt hi side in a moment. "Uncle, dear ttncle!" she cried, forcing him into a chair n sho spoke. "Thin will make no difference to us; no ditTereuee at all." "Dear child, it must it will. You must go with your father. He i rich, influential, ho can give you what I cannot mako a great lady of you, Annice." "A lady ttnclef I would rather bo a working woman than an idle fine lady. Do you think I could be happy iu the midst of all sorts of gaieties, if meanw hile you, who have been mother, father, brother tome, were here alone, toiling for your daily bread with no one to sweeten it for you?" "Mr. Crump shall be well provided for; he will have no further need to toil," interposed Mr. Wilson. Annice turned with flashing eye; "He will be alone!" she said; "do you think your money will pay for that !" "Don't you think a daughter' right place in with her father?" asked Mr. WiUon, persuasively. "Then," said ahe, "I have been in the wrong place for a good many year; so that now I feel it to be the fi&kt one." . Mifnf&rdeB'i-,"uiurta vVilliarai gently, "you will go with your father, I shall do very well. You can write to me, yon know, and tell mo of all your gsy doings, and I shall have my books nnd my pipe, and I shall sit hero nnd think of the happy day here in the time w hen wealth and parent were unknown to you. Oh, I shall do very well, deur ; Very well, indeed!" lint Annice stood by tho side of hi chair stroking hi gray hair, and tho tcr.r were running down her whito cheeks. "Uncle, you break my heart," eho said. "What havo I done that you should send me from yon? Don't you know that no place, however splendid, would be homo to me without you? Sir," she added, turniug toiler futher, "I eaunot go w ith you. 1 am of age to choose, u:id I urn hi by right of all tho year of care und tenderness he has bo stoued upon me. He ha denied him self n thousand thing that I might have the best ; all that I am, I owe to my Uncle William; I shall sttty und work with him and for him until death part. us." Within the room a deep silenco had fallen ; without, were all tho sign of the common, shabby life of tho neigh borhood clumsy step upon the stair, children playing and shrieking about the doorways, a late huckster crying hi stale berries. William ami Anuico were upon tho height, and even George Wilson, whoso thought moro commonly ran to real estate and dol lars, caught the light from their tran figuration. He was tho first to open tho book of speech after thi sucred silence. "It i right; it is just," he said, slowly. "I am disappointed, of conriie, but 1 am not mean enough to grudge you the daughter you have fairly won, Mr. Crump; you and I are both reap ing the uftermath of the seed we have sown. Annice, you will write to me sometime. I am to blame, bitterly to blame, in this matter ; I treated your mother, a good a woman a ever lived, shamefully, and thi i my pun ishment. A a proof that yon have no hard feeling against me, you will ac cept the allowance I shall send you, daughter? Home day, perhaps, we shall meet again ; till then, good-by." He shook hand with William, and then turned to Annico. "(Jood-by, dear father," she said, clasping his neck aud kissing him. "I shall love you, too, though my plane ia with him now." Yankee Ulado.
