" Is that Oldtown Church yonder,
if you please sir 1"
A girl spoke to nie. I turned rouud
and looked ut Iter She wore the scan
tiest of cotton dresses belted at the wfiis,
a pair of leather boots,-aod a white
apron. In her hand she carried a sun
bonnet, and her hair cropped close, in
black rinL's about her head. The face
was a bads in sweetness and in inno
cence ; the little brown hands, the little
hands of toil. No young lady this, yet
there was nothing rough or vulgar about
her unless it was her hands.
"That is Oldtown Church, my dear,"
I said ; "arc you agoing there '!"
" Yes sir, to tec the wedding, -fire
you
I was, more fool I, though I did not
say so to this child. The brido for
whom the bell was ringing was to be
mine once, would have been but for the
accident that crippled me und changed
her heart. She had done nothiug
treacherously ; but I saw the truth and
set her free. She took her freedom
gladly, nnd we wcru two. She had quito
forgotten me, no doubt- I believed then
I never could forget.
I knew exactly how she would look
in snow silk and laco, and coronet of
pearls. T had dreamed of her so often
in her bridal robes.
I nodded to the little thing thing be
side me, trudging over the meadow path,
with the 'all iiruss almost to her waitt,
and looking at tue so wishfully.
' I never saw a wedding' said she,
Xo?' .
1 No sir. Grandfather said I might
cctue, he didn't care .hiaisclf.'.Tt's a
long way too, froui the tavern, aud he is
very od i .- '
Does your grandfather keep tho tav,
em ?' I asked.
' No sir I wished he did,' said the
chilJ. ' He Y&3 only his - fiddle, and
.eop!e half the time do not care for
tunes. What else can he do, though ?
To uight there is a dance, anl he's to
play fur them. That's why we stop
ped.'
A poor fiddler's untaught child as
pour as untaught poverty cau be yet
her presence somehow cheered me.
Half child, half woman, and all a child
a- hi art. ur.ocetit, and beautiful and
kindly. I encouraged her to linger at
my side. ' I said to her :
I will show yon a place where you
can see the bride well. It is in the gal
lery. Would you like that ?
T don't know,' she said. I haven't
often been to church. We pray logeth.
er iu lonely places, grandlathcr and I.
Will you be there, sir."
' Yes.'
' I know I should like it.'
Come with mo then,' I said, and she
followed mc.
I had meant to hido myself in the
gallery, und see my last love quito un
seen. This companionship had not been
in tny role at all. But liked it. No
friend or relation, not my own -sister,
wnuld I have had beside me ; but this
unselfish thing was too innocent to f"ar.
1 led the way up the dark old stairs, and
towatds, a fpot quite unsheltered from
"cnoial view. Then I sat down and
J-1 -
sho stood leanins over the balustrade.
Tho church was full of bonnets.
Here and there only a masculine head.
The minister was in his seat rending, in
a position taken for effect. lie was a
handsome man and ho kuew it perfectly
whifpered and giggled, matrons
fanned themselves, men yawi.ed.' Soon
the solt roll of curriages on the gravel
path was heard, and bridal party enter,
td. I saw bcr at last ; Aletta.
' Is that tho brido ?' half sopped the
jjiiTs voice at my side. ' Is it a real
lady ? She looks like war. ,-Oh, bow
pretty, how beautiful ! Look 1 Look !
She touched mo with her littlo brown
hands', aud looked at me, her eyes spark
ling. . .
Did you ever see Ler before V she
asked " Is she like that in every day
clothes ? . Q how pretty I how pret

down my head on the cushion of the
pew and hid my eyes. I felt the child
creep close beside mc
' Poor thing he's tired I' I heard her
whisper and put her littlo hand and pat.
ted mo softly by stealth.
Soon I looked down into the church
asaio, and saw Grant Scranton kiss the
brido.
' It is all over !' said tho girl.
Yes child,' I said' 'all over.'
' Then I must go' she said. ' Thank
you for being so kind to me, sir. Good-

Goodbye, 1 said, and her littlo
leithcr shoes pattered over the aisle,
and down the stairs, and I had seen, as
I thought the last of her. When she

I found myself thinking of that child's
gipsey head, and those beautiful long-
fringod eyes. I woudeted at myself but
it was so. '
I should like to see that child again'
I said, and as I spoke I spied a crowd
about a tavcru upon the road.
It was u poor place, nnd poor, rough
people male up the group. But it was
plainly no common quarrel or drinking
about had brought Lhciu ..there, for their
faces were grave and their voice suppres-
ed. I crossed the road. 1
' What has happened, friend?'I in
quired of a tinker. '
'Oalyallind utidlor dropped dead,
he said. But there is a gal there wild
about it. ' " "
And tha!i I passed hint and went in.
.In old man lay upon the floor, and
across his body a girl had flung herself.
I knew the gipsey hair and brown neck,
the scant cotton dress nnd the sunbon
net flung with a handful of wild flowers
upon the floor, and I bent over her lit
tie despairing head.
' My child,' I said,,' ho is happier
than we are.'
' And she looked up! 1
1 Ho was all I bad,' she said, ' all
all.' '
So had I thought when Allctte gave
me back our betrothal ring. My heart
ached for her. I said no other word,
but led her to an inner room, while two
men bore tho dead up stuirs, She wept
wildly, but my preseueo seemed to com.
fort her. '' ' 1
Altera while she druv closer to me,
and bittiug on a low stout leaned her
forhcad on my knee. .Sum my baud
rested on it, and in an hjur sfco had
sobbel herself L sleep.
I said a few words to the landlady
when I arose to leave'; and she promis
ed !o attend to my orders enforced by
tho conteuts of my pocket-book,
The girl shan't gi until I hear from
you sir,' she said. ' Indeed I don't know
where stie would gi. . She seems fiicnd-
les3, and such a child for her ag5.
Thank you sir !' . "
And I went on my way again, think
ing not ot Aletta, but of the dead fiddler's
graudehild. This sun-browned waif,
so simple, so ignorant, so friendless aud
a'.one.
I was joungyet not fivo-and twenty
a bachelor, nnd likely to be tny life
long. I had no- proper homo to take
her to, and no friend to uid me. lt
last, in my extremity, I thought ot Bet
ty, old Betty who had onco been my
nurse, and who loved mc as she might
her own son and iu the gloaming,
made my way to her poor home. I found
her trimming her vinos in the bit of
garden ground, and had ruy usual kiss
across the garden fence even before the
gate was opened.

' You wore always kind. hearted from

she said. '
. She then put both her hands on my
shoulders.. '
' You haveo't fretted ; have you V.
she asked.
Fretted? Why?
' Nay, why, indeed ? Better fish in
tho Jen than wcro ever caught yet,' said
old Belty. Then in u moment mote she
added, ' I have been to sec the wed
ding.' 1 felt my face flush. ' Shall I bring
bor to-morrow alter the grandfather's
funeral '!' I asked.
1 Whe.i you please. Bui. Master Al.
bert, what do you mean to do with her.'
You are d'tinal! this in a hurry. Just
think a bit,' said Betty,
' I urn ixoin to adopt- the child. It
will make me happy to have a youn
thing to care fur,' said.
Betty laughed. ' Yoti will have young
things of yi-nr own, jdaso God. some
day. Why. at your age life is belre
you.' sho said.
" I shall, never marry, Betty," said
I. She caught my fingors in a close
rasp with her horu, hardworking
hand.
" I wish you was a buby back again
on my knee," ehc said. 'I would like
to sing you to sleep us I did then. Ah
it is a grief to uA old wemtn to see the
young wo have nursed grow up so talt
and old, with their troubles to shut up
in their own heart that wo can't com
fort thcifi. Going? Well, then, good
night. lam ready for the child when
ever you will. I am ready furnnythiu
that will cheer you, Master Bertie."
I left her leaniug over the gate, look
iug wistfully ot mo, knowing as a moth
er might the grief which had been bu
ried iu my heart. A "id if her words
had given mo a pang, it was like some
ointment which makes the wound, smart
in its very healing. It was somethin
to be loved so, even by the old nurse.
Late the next day I led my younj
charji-j Lorn her eiandlatlier n grave to
Betty's cot. She kept my hand upon
the road as a littln child might. I had
no thought but that &ho was gjiic, until

Not long, though; every day found
some new errand t i take mc to tho
cottage. I put on c'derly airs, aud gave
advise. 1 bad m-ui her to school, aud
went ihro'iuh gruvo examinations on
Saturday atti.ni ons. 1 mid old Betty
ibat when 1 wa - a mnti nf middle age,
I would take in v tiiiie daughter homo,
and she si mild ki ). li. use for us. Ind
I began to fsi.iy vi-ry soon that there
could be no such happiness as that a pa
rent felt. 'I ho gitl w.i-i growing tall, It
is tru", and I w::s only ten years older
than shown; b.il wl.cn she checked
her light tn a I to keep pace with me,
wlit-n the chil li.-h laugh bubbled and
lippled ut S'liiiethiiig which could only
make me smile, 1 lelt that years are not
the only things which ago us.
I was woik:ng hard at my profession,
too. I bad hand und heart full. Tn a
year more. I wondered whether sho
had really changed or whether I fancied
black curls more thau I did golden
bands, Tori found myself thinking my
littlo daughter much the prettiest.
In tho sultry summer evening, I us

go out to Betty's cottage to have .tea

while she polished up the cups, Nellie

had a way of holding her bands still ;
and we had such a pleasant talk ! such
uowordly chatter ! Those walks and
simplo tea drink'iM? rested the brain
wearied wi'.h law business, quarrels nnd
stratagems, more I ban I can tell.
The roujh bauds bad grown softer
now. the waist taper, the bust full. The
sweep tf woman's robes, the trtnd of
woman's light shod fret had taken the
place of clumping leather boots and
scant cotton skirts.
I knew ibis, but Ncllv was a child to
mean the same, u as i not uy adop

riel and staff upon w hich I leaned ugod
mc before any time? Of course she
would always bo young to me; and why
I felt so anirry if by ehan.?c some gay
a'rmcr chatted over the fence, or some
neighbor saw her home from church I
could not tell. 'An old twin's temper I
suppnse,' I said, and sighed like a
young oue.
So three years passed, lt the end
of that time Aletta's husband died:
They had quarrelled, and she had made
him wofuily jealous, it was said, and all
bin property, save a mere pittance, was
willel to strangers.
Otic d;iy a lady iu black walked into
my ciuce; when siie lilted her veil l
saw Jletta Stan ion's face, closer to mine
than it had been since wo parted. My
heart gave no wild throb. I felt as
though I were a mere stranger.
Courteously and quite calmly I heard
her busiucfs. Sho intended to contest
the will and needed advice. I gave her
what I could. I referred her to a broth
er lawver as theouc who would beat es
pouse her cause. As for myself I told
her truly that my lime viis too much
occupied' to undertake anything more,
and wished her success.
She looked at nie wistfully, with her
great blue eyes lull of tears, as she rose
to leave.
'It Was cruel of him,' sho said, to
leave me so poor, but be was never kind,
never notiti the honey tuoou even.'
'1 regret to hear it,' I said.
'I could expect nothing more,' she
said ; 'I did not love him I never loved
but one and that one"
ho pauf ed and looked at mc.
'That one T. love still.'
And heaven knows no feeling of jc-
venge or nctty triumph was in my heart
when 1 looked in Aletta Stanton's eyes
as.ifl did not tindrstand her, and cour.
teously bowed her out.
'Did I raic for that woman,' I thought,
'oi is it all a dream ?'
I took my adopted daughter to the
theatre that night, and we saw the Lady
of Lyons together. It was her first
play going experience, and sho enjoyed
it immensely. Sho wore a white dress
aud a bonnet, and the coral drops I had
fastened a lew days before in her pretty
nitic ears, l was very promt ot nrr.
I could not help looking in her eyes,
and touched her band with mine. When
I left her I kissed her.
And the answered Good night' with
a cheek dyed on the instant ;i deep sear

gate at sunset, sonic oi' those young fel.

grew a little moody. I found my suit in
brewn studies when I should have been '
at work. .It hut I determined to dis
cover whether I was really going to
lose my child, and went' down to tho
cottage. I found htr sitting there at
work with Betty
-dfter all it was no easy task. I could
not do as I had hgr.cl I tried jesting,
aud spoke or ono aud another of the
young fellows near. 'We thall have

'What ails tho child, Betty ?' I asked. .
'Havo 1 i.ffended her ?'
Old Betty stood before mc sturdy nd.,
sad a look in her face that 1 had nc.v
er before seen.
'Master Albert,' she said, whatever
Bhe was when sho came here, Nelly in
no child now. Oh, Master Albert, I,
can't believe you have done it on pur-p-)S0
! You couldn't such a sweet in.

can say is, go away, or let her go, and
may be. tho wouud will heal. I was an
old fool. Oh, how could you, Master
Albrt bow could you :'
'What have I done? I cried. 'I
would rather die than harm her.'
'And yet you have made her love
you, saiu uctty sternly, 'iou, who
knew you would neer love her. You
have been very selfi-h, Master Albert.'
A new light dawned upon mc, and a
radiance brilliant beyond my hopes. ;
'Betty,' said I, 'you are dreaming.
She must think me old enough to bo a i
grandfather, with my long face and
bald crown and this crutch. I've bad
one dream broken ; don't, don't set mo.
drcimiug ngain for heaven's sake '.'
Old Betty looked tit mo, and then
caught my lace iu both her hands and
kisroi'; mo.
'Ma'ter Bertie,' she said, 'I shan't.
tell you a word more ; go and Cud out
what you want to know yourself. You
nilly, handsome, good-for-nothing fellow.'
1 found my child nude. the grapo
vine. Iter Jace wet with tears, i sat
down by her and put my arms round her
waist.
'Nellie,' said I, 'doDt shrink from me,
lam your true friend. Your friend
whatever answer you may give me now.
I am older than you. I am not vaitt
enough to think myself a young girl's
beau i leal. Can you love me enough to
be my wife ? If you cannot, if another
claims your heart, don't say yes from grat
itude. Tell me tho truth, and still re
taiu a father's, a brother's, a fiicnd's af
fection, Nelly ?'
I bent over her, and my life seemed
in her keeping, Until that moment I
had not known myself. I loved her
tnad'y, I folt it now better, far better,
than in my youth I had loved Aletta
S'nnton.
She spoke no word.
'Nelly ?' 1 said. 'Nelly ?' aud a brown
hand was laid of its owu accord in mine,
and her eyes beneath my gaze did 'nut
dare lift thcin?ulves) but hid their sweet
ness on my breast. Nelly was n ine.
I sat with her boiting heart near my
own, atid thought it all over. I remem
bered the child in her cottoa gown
sluuding in the galVry of the Ghuixb
that wedding day. I remembered tho
child whom I had taught j the pitl
with wbum 1 InJ spont such, happy
lours. And I felt this living, lil'i
sprung pheo:.is-liko form tho ashes of
i hi dead, was the purest feeling of my
life.
Siniy old fancy of keeping honso
