THrilSDAT, MARCH 31, ISIO. A SOVEHDSS AITEKXOOX. BY REBECCA IIAKDISQ DAVIS. The v.la'1 of the Delaware waa keen. It reddened the njsc8 of the pretty youcg girls hurrying home up Chestnut street, and brightened their eyes; their plaid cloaks and scarlet plumes flattered; the red sunset glittered on the windows; people called gaily to each othef as they passed ; out of every area window came savory whiffs ot dinner. The world, to Sam Border, had never seemed more inra'.tingly good humored. "llow d'ye like this blow, Sam? . is winterisli, eh? . "llow goes it, Bender?" l' Vhat's the good news, Sam?" lender turned at this. It was htt'.o .Joe Houston, one of his fellowci:rks, who had clapped him on the L p ' Uood news? no good new?," turnin? grufily away." Yet ho wished the fantastic little fellow would stay with him. He felt terribly alone as ho had never done belore in all his life things had reached such a narrow straight with him to-day. . , "Tut, tut, Bender! loure morbid since you've been sick. Ho you think you're the first man that's had tyvoiar , . "I've lost more than my health. 1 find to-day Stouch stopped my salary alter the first week." "Whew! But, after all, what s money, boy? Can sordid dust make tho 'bosom's lord sit higher on his throne?' tapping his gaudy little waistcoat theatrically. "Anyhow, I don't believe Stouch knew any thing about it. It's that cursed old Morris " "What does that matter? It's gone. I've been Eaving for years to r ay off the mortgage on our house. I'll have to take the money to clear off the' debts of the last three months, and the mortgage falls due to-morrow." , '"That's the devils- own luck! Such a snug little house, tool How l.-mir have vou lived there. Sam?" " I was born in it. Its the Bender lir.mestead. 1 vo been saving ever since I was married to pay off that mnrt(?are. Bat now " "Mary's done her share of Baviog, too." Uender was silent a moment. ' I bave no fault to find with my wife." bo said coldly. "No chance for renewal?" "None. He is glad of the chance r-i fnrelosc. "Too bad, too bad! lie was chewing his eandy mustache. Joe was always fidgetty and in ;notion. "There's Kitty Stouch coming no7. She's a brick of a girl! Know her ? It would be worth a fellow's wLletocutin there, hey? If you ha-e nothing more to say, I'll join her, Sam," his eager facs growing as red as his hair as the young lady caire near. . " I've nothing more to say." ' Bye then ! ' touching his cap and skipping off to the side of tho large, salta-eyed blonde, who was now abrca3t of them. Ilcr heavy, lustrous silk brushed ai'ftio6tSam as she swept by. When Houston joined her, he 6poke eagerly, motioning back to Sam; tl i- i they both laughed. What had induced Bender to make a confident of the man? - Ho cursed h s own folly, looking after him as he went skippiDg along, light a3 a grasshopper. Yet ho used to think Joe was soft hearted as a woman. But what did it matter to any man that he stood there ruined to-day, the r.ntmnt toil ot years swept away in one blow? What did the world care? Or God? if there were a God. fie looked for a few moments stol idly over the heads of the gay moving orowd into tnc ciouuy sxy. Onlv a year aeo bam had been a ruriil ehurch member, teaching a clans -d' bova in the Sunday School. He tried to teach them to trust in a liV' imt (Christ, to trust in each other, con stantly growing stronger himself from the teaching. Now It was not the loss of monoy. But that Mary should havo turned from liiri. lie walked down the street, his nn his breast. 'Ihea he came hack to the door of Saul's waremnms: in a few minutes he would know, the worst, and he would not shirk it. Ha did not remember to have no tiord this rlacc particularly before, It "vas a seven-storied white marble building the warerooms above the grcund floor occupied as a sale de partment, lhe manufacture was ex cimivelv that of eas fixtures. The windows, beside one of whioh he stood, were filled with costly bronzes: the lofty ceiling of the room within glittered with chandeliers and lus;ers. Two or three of these great itfruavs would have paid lor his ' home, he thought, bitterly. It 'ffas strange that, at that moment. yvhet ho was waiting to know it his wiio jrere true or fa'-ge to him, the lot i of the home should havo occurred to him. But it had become, through long years of waiting, uf penny saving flu I self denial, a mania with Bender. " Saul, Urompton & Saul" he read the name of the firm over and over. TLa Sauls were merchant princes Jlijksito Friends. He knew their stalely houses on Locust street. It was Crompton, whom Morris, the overseer, had told him, with so tr. ining a smile, was a gay fellow, " not to be trusted with so pretty a wif'a as yours. Bender"" It was only tl It morning that Morris had told him this, when he had crept down to the office for the first time after his three months illness. He felt, when he opened the office door, as if it wcro the ghost of Sam. Bender who was going in, the strength K's so drained out of his body. Then he had for a longtime noticed tho change :n Mary how preoccupied 6he was, t-ilentj going about the house with her thoughts tar off. He had not failed to note her long absences, even wnen no wa3 still ill, aud needed, cr thought he. needed, her constant care. 1 1 . This thing had worked a deep ctange in uim. Sam. Bender was not the man to ask questions, or chatter over his Kilousy or wounded love. He only 1 ut his wife coldly away from him a little soace. and waited At the most,-he fancied that she hid grown wearied of the sick room e nd sick man. But when she was put away from him, the soul seemed to grow weak in his body. They had b en a peculiarly loving husband and w.fo. That morning Morris had told him ll i-st of the stoppage of his salary. " Very sorry. Mr. Bender; glad to h ive ou back again in the works. at the salary only- went on lor ooo Very true, very true, Mr. h ha' beetriQ the habit ot con;ouca lack pay with gome old reiners. But we are drawing ia, nir,

diiiuiiig in. i'&e bioncy market never was so tight." It was as Bender walked away from the desk that Morris called him back, and asked him about Mary.

"A particular friend ot young Crompton's, eh?" "My wife does not know Mr. Crompton. Nor do I." , .t. "No? Better if you did, then, with i il 1 T T . J Anna a serious looK. iurs. xeuuci viucn. I meet them sauntering along in the evening together frequently. C uromp. ton s an attractive ton's an attractive fellow. iNO won!or arnmp.n like him for a friend. Irish, you know, gay, handsome, genial Ton attractive to be trusted with as pretty a woman as your wife. Bender, if you'll allow me to say it." I will not aiiow you to say ir, iur. Morris. I ou do not know my JUary, and are not capable of judgicg her. For mv cart I am elad she has made a pleasant friend." Morris laid down his pen and camo outside of the desk-railing. Now, don t be offended and sulky, lad," drawing him aside. "I'm an older man than you. I know women better, lhey are nervous and mag netic, especially high-spirited, delicate women like your Mary, if that's her name, lhey grow tired oi the jogtrot life at home, and the dull, daily talks with their husbands, lhey pine for some repetition of the old, roman tic, love-making days, too tney lorm a platonic friendship. That's the worst I ever suspected of your wife a platonic friendship. But if she were my wife," emphatically, " I would a3 lief another man kissed her lips as paltered in that fashion with her heart." " I am not afraid," coldly. "Of course not. Oh, certainly not ! I'm sorry I mentioned it." "On the contrary, I am obliged to you for your interest in me. But you are mistaken. " Well. (rood day, Bender. You'll be on hand to-morrow? By the way. though, it was odd now that Mrs. Bender did not mention Crompton to you?" He was not angry with Morris, though he tried to blind him as he did. The old man wanted to save him and her. He did not go home again, though he had promised Mary to be back by noon. He bad not intended to begin work until the next day. He told her he would brine the back salary with him. in time for her to payoff the pressing bills that af ternoon. He would draw the money from the savings bank, tco, to clear the mortgage. But. on leaving Morris, he had gone aimlessly wandering about the streets, out to lairmount at last, down between the ereat wheels, over which the river rushed in a hell of sound. It would be easy to end it all! But Bender was a slow, phlegmatic man, not apt to bo moved by any sudden temptaton. lie came back to Chestnut street in the afternoon. Young Ward met him, one of the clerks of the savings bank. 'Halloo! Sam. lou told me you meant to draw that little pile of yours to-day. Bank's just closing. If yoti want it, come along." Yes, 1 suppose so, following Lim. "GoiDg to clear your mortgage, eh? That's clever. "Well, hero you are," counting out the notes and smiling over the counter. Sam. smiled back at him. Then he went out, and down to Saul & Cromp ton s. He would meet her there, if it were true; the devil whispered that into his car as a certainty." He had bean standing by tnc wmdow tor about an hour when Joe. Houston passed. 1'eople went in and out ot the show room; but Mary's slight figure, in the well worn brown suit, was not among them. He peered m now and then through the shining vista of th gilt work and colored glass to sec Urompton. He would know him at tho hr.-t sight, he knew " tall, genial, handsome." There was no one like him among the dapper ht.de clerks. It began to grow dark at las-, lie went in. Is Mr. Crompton in? In his private oie, sir; second floor. Will you walk ar?" Ono of the clerks ws coming down the stairs. "He's engaged just now, Phil. A lady." "Will you wait, sir?" said the first "Sit down," pushing a stool toward him, seeing how white and weak he was. "I'll co outsida, into tho air "You may miss Mr. Crompton. lie comes down tho privato stairs often on the other street. Shall i send your name upf "No." He went out into tho street. He knew Crompton would come down the privato stairs. He knew who would be with him. The door of this side entrance wss narrow; there was a fruiterer's stall next to it. Standing in the 6haddow, Bender was almost concealed from view. 1 Half an hour passed; the State House clock struck five. He moved to go away. After all, it might be but a devilish dream. Mary was at home. doubtless watching at the window for him, with Jackey in her arms. 1 he door above opened. There was moment's pause, and then a man's voice: Take care! the stairs aro dark. Give me your hand.' A rineing. rich voice, such as would belong to a genial, love-making Irishman, softened now to a very tender inflection Then there was a quick, light step . . Tl. I. J I 1 UDon tne stairs. xenaer nau learueu to know it vears asro Thev camo out together on tne Dave ment. Mary s dress almost touched her husband: it was her one good dress, the brown silk so long kept for church. She had a bit of blue chenille. too, twisted in and out of the coils of her black hair. It was many a day since she had taken that trouble to look fair in his eyes. They spoko together in a low tone. Crompton urging something which she faintly resisted. Ho crevaiiea at last, inougn "I will be there at nine, then?" raising his voice. "At nine, if you will," she said gently. "Will it be safe?" "O quite safe. He goes to bed early since his sickness. Poor old bam I with a nervous laugh. bhau I go home with you now I It grows late." "No,nol We may be seen together." He held her hand in his a moment, and then she was gone. Crompton stood still looking after her. Bender came up the pavement and faced him. His lace was so ghastly and menacing that the younger man drew back, and the air died on his lips which he was softly humming. The low sunlight fell on his elegantly dr.-.-sei iigurc as he stood tuere on tna nasnea, handsome face, with its full, reddish beard and hair. Sara Laltcd acd tben weat on;

"Poor devil! I wonder whether women or whisky have driven him mad? thought Crompton, beginning his tune again a mcment after. Bender went down toward Fourth.

Street with slow, resolute steps. His old strenth seemed to have come back to him in the last half hour. Stopping at a larce boarding-house, he sent in for Ward, the bank clerk. They had been old chums in Bender's bachelor days. "Lend me your revolver, Horace; I'll be done with it by to-morrow. Mine li broken, and I never bought another." "Of course." Ward vanished and reappeared in a moment. What are you going to shoot, Sim rafs?" Bender took the pistol and turned ottqtt reirl.nnt cnonl-ir.fr TTa l"i !1 fl hfififl deaf and blind to every sight or sound on the streets since Mary s voice rung m his ears. After he was gone, his manner rocurred to Ward as 6trange and un pleasant. 1 believe i n go alter mm, ne thought. But dinner was ready, and he turned back into the dark entry; and being a feather-headed young fellow, forgot the whole matter speedily. The pistol was not charged. Bender stopped at a shop on the way up street, and loaded it carefully, hefore he ueiure lie it was nearly dark reached his own steps. Mary opened the door before he could touch it. She wore yet her silk dress and her pretty collar of fine lace; her hair was curled about her face; her cheeks were pink and hot: her eyes brilliant with a new fire. He saw all. What was it Morris had said about thtir hunger for a repetition of the old love making days? She put up her mouth to be kissed, as us ial, and when he passed her, hurried in after him, taking his hand. "Poor old papal he's tired. Go in, Jackey; don't worry father now." So skilled in deception already! She was leading him into the dining-room, where supper was spread: but he put her quietly aside and fiassed up to his own room. She folowed him. "You are worn out. Why did you stay in the works all day?" coming behind him and putting her white hands upon his shoulders as he sat staring into the fire. When ho did not answer, she drew his head back on her breast and kissed his lips. That kiss set fire to tho smoldering madness within the man: but he was always quiet and grave. He looked her steadily in the eyes. How beautiful the face that was bent over him f Some dainty Ariel of a spirit looked out of it which he had never conquered nor owned. He saw that clearly now. She turned away from him at last. and busied herself about the room went down and brought him a cup of tea. Tho farce of playing the wife over. she became absent, as was usual with her now; her thoughts far off. lie took out the roll ot notes and laid them down on the mantel shelf. There is the mortgage money." " Yes." She did not brighten and flush as she would once have done. f!OXCT,TJIED TO-MORHOW.I TEA STORE. ORIENTAL TEA STORE!
