TILLY.

I heard him myself.
Miss Kosie Green, for all answer, looked unutterable things. Miss Posie Green took off her sundown and fanned herself vigorously with it. She looked warm her face was flushed with feeling no less than with tbe weather. She anc! her sister were no longer as youthful as their names suggested. Moreover, irritation brings out the lines and wrinkles of a face, and it is uuquestioaably irritating to be passed over for a slip of a thing with a doll baby face, not one's own flesh and blood at that. "It's all pa's fault" Miss Rosie pursued, presently. "He dsea spoil that girl so abominably. There will be no enduring her presently." "I shouldn't be one bit surprised If Mr. Leonard makes so much of her just to please pa. Men are such time servers. Of course it's to his interest to keep in pa's good books." "There they go now!" cried Miss Rosie in au excited whisper, flying to the window, and peeping through a crack in the shutter. •'For goodness' sake, don't give her tbe satisfaction of seeing you look at her." "I don't care whether she sees me or not—uot a rush. That old pink calico 011! I do think she might have had the decencv to make herself look respectable, riding out with pa's young man." •'Pa'a young man! What away to put it!" "Well, isn't he, lor the present? He's reading medicine in pa's office, I'm sure, aud he takes the messages tuat are left, and tells pa afterward. For my part, I think he is bound to be civil to pa's daughters." "VVeli, ho is boiug civil to one of them." "Yes. That's the worst of the way pa treats Tilly. It's real unjust to us. The hateful little piecej"
A case of cruel step sisters, you are thinkiug. However, there was no tie either of blood or of marriage in this instance. I)r Ureeu had adopted Tilly, brought her with him when he moved to \V oodbridgo fifteen years ago. She was a mere baby then, and his wife was still living, aud cared for the child like her own. She was a motherly soul, aud loved babies. JFler own girls had left Snfaticy half a score of years behind them.' Siuce her death lite had not been so smooth for Tilly. Perhaps the Green girls would have been kind to another person in the same situation, but they certainly made life a burdeu to their little adopted sister. There is no accounting for likes agd dislikes. It did not prove Tilly morally deficient be cause she aroused the worst feelings in Ro.sio's and Posie's natures. It is an tinpleasaut mystery why certain antagonistic natures should be subjected to certain exasperating frictions. There aro those whom it sets wild to feel the down of the peach.. Others bite through the akin with unalloyed enjoyment,
Mr. Leonard—he taped to Do Dr. Leonard this time ue*t year—drove a fast horse before a shining new buggy. It was a bright day, and he had a pretty irl beside him. His spirits rose to the evel of tbe occasion. Tilly and be laughed and talked in a way that would have driven MiaeTosIe frantic. I specify Miss Posie, because her sister had ac quired two or three years' additional resignation in which to bear the ills of apiusterhood wall-flowering had become almost a second nature. But Tilly laughed on regardless. She was happy. John Leonard was the handsomest, the best mannered, the best dressed young matt she had ever kaown, and he had singled her out for his especial favor. She was willing to believe anything of an auspicious fate.

so pared hor mean
while to a wild rose, her bloom was so oxqulsite, her whole effect so dainty. Her large dark eyes were wonderfully bright and shining. 1 am afraid she was quite unaware how much they avowed, as she raised them to John's face sometimes. Prudence should have kept them averted. "I burned my linger to-day," she said, displaying it, "taking the baked custard out of the oven." "Why, the poor little finger! And such bad staff as custard is, after all." "Pa yoa think ao? Pa likes it," "Yes. So did my mother. She always nsidered it an especial tre I was a voider hearted chap. It me un,appy because I hated it it seemed ungrateful."
Tilly thought this a delightful trait.
44
We often have custard," she pursued. "It's so hard to think up new kinds of desserts." "Aud a great waste of brains." "Perhaps it is. I often wish I had more time for improving my mind."
rjsw.B
"You should fake the time," dogmatized John. He had had it on his mind to say this. It struck him that Tilly.'* education was shamefully neglected She wrote a wretched, scratchy little hand she Btumbled in reading aloud an ordinary newspaper paragraph she had once committed herself to the opinion that Vienna was in France. It was strange that beauty could bs so illiter ate—strange, and a shame. The poor child was kept drudging from morning till night, cooking, sweeping, dusting. Why didn't tho*e two Bisters of hers put their shoulders to the household wheel It was all they were good for. Some one had said that Tilly was not old Green's own child. The more fool she to wear horself out in his service but women were apt to be fools they would slave themselves to death for auy man who gave them a kind word. At least so his mother had always said. And old Green was certainly affectionate euough to the girl. Poor little thing who could help being good to her? Al this, while he kept up at the same time an animated conversation with Tilly.
Nor was that the last drive they took together. He a9ked her all the oftener wiea he saw it made the "wioked sis ters," as he dubbed them, angry. As it proved, h-s asked Tilly far oftener than was good for her. This was ouly an ep isode with him with Tilly it was tbe most real experience of her life. John Leonard seldom talked of his plans, but she had mapped out his career for him When be graduated In medicine he should become her lather's partner, aud finally relieve her father of the burdeu of his practice, and then—and then Tilly always herself shared these air castles with John.
This was a long, long while ago—before the war, almost accurately, at the very breaking out of tbe war. Those drives occurred during the April and May when the first regiments were put in the field. At first John Leonard, who was an Englishman, escaped the war fever. Let these brothers fight out their own family quarrels. But gradually the soul of the war clarious "passed into his blood." He must have a hand in this himself. A man must belong somewhere, So he ooolly informed Dr. Green one day that he had enlisted he was going to fight for his shoulderstraps. "As for my diploma, I'll wait awhile for that."
The doctor told him ho was mad, and urged him at least to wait a year. But much reeked John it is a waste of words to answer a young man except according to his folly. John was an ardent soldier by this time. He had come to America to seek his fortune perhaps the way to it lay along the path of glory.
When he came to bid Tilly good-by, she burst out crying. That settled the question as to their manner of farewell. He took her in his arms and kissed her repeatedly. This was deoidedly imprudent, although they were only affectionate, brotherly kisses. Miss Posie came in as he released her. "Well, Matilda Green!" she cried, with an intonation that meant anything but well. But Tilly was too heart-broken to extenuate her conduct. She left that to John, who said, good-naturedly, "You'll give me a kiss, too, won't you, Miss Posie? Remember, you may never see me again."
And he actually kissed Posie, too. He wanted to put it out of her power to tease poor Tilly. She had been guilty of the same Impropriety herself.
Poor Tilly was wretched, indeed, after he was gone. But she was buoyed up by hopes and visions. She bad a brave picture, too, of John which he souther when he was made a lieutenant. Ob, bow proud she was when that came! She felt that she was fighting the battles of her country.
She never forgot that speech of John's about improving her mind. She tried hard to find time to do so. Her favorite method was the composition of lotters to John, which*were never sent, in the course of which she would laboriously hunt out in the dictionary nearly all the words she wanted to use, to insure their correct spelling. She also endeavored to find time to read such light literature as was contained in the weekly paper of the household. She read the love stories, to be sure, with an especial zest apart from their purpose as educators. Tboy struck a kindred chord.
One day John Leonard received in camp a copy of this same paper—the Woodbrldge News. It contained a paragraph. "Good gracious!" he said, reading it, "old Green's dead. How fearfully sudden!"
His particular chum, Lieutenant Phil Ross, was standing by. This gentleman was a cormorant of facts—a trait which the thoughtless are apt to oonfound with curiosity but I contend that there is a difference between inquisitJ'-sness aud acquisitiveness. Mr. Ross hold out bis hand for tbe paper. "Old Green? Hum! ah, yes—Dr. Green! By Jove! 'Pnilbrick Green, formerly of Greenbrier, New York.' I knew tbe man. I bail from Greenbrier myself. So he hai turned up again, has he? 'Woodbridge, Rockland County, Pennsylvania.' An excellent place to be buried ailv6 in. Been in WOCKJbridge eh? Whatever took you there?" "I studied medicine in Dr. Green's office. There was au excellent opening for a country practice." "Let me see: he had two daughters— Rosie and Posie," "Three." "The third was only an adopted daughter. She accounts lor my interest In him. Her hiotber was a distant cousin of mine. Loft a widow with three children utterly destitute. Sewed for her living. The Greens took a fancy to her little Tilly, and offered to take her off her hands. She agreed, rather than let the child starve. The Greens moved away shortly afterward. The last time I was in Greenbrier—I ran up there every summer to see my mother —I found that my cousin bad married a very well to de man. Her other children bad died meanwhile, and she had set her heart on reclaiming Tilly. Her husband had made inquiries for Dr.
He had made
Green, but to no purpose. two or three moves stnoe leaving Greenbrier, and no one knew where he bad moved to last. My cousin was fretting herself sick. I can't my that I pitied her as though she had not given ap her little child of her own free will, to begin with. It always seemed an unmothly thing to me. And here I have suddenly unearthed the girl!" "Luckily en'Migh for her." John opined. ''R3S,_ and Posie will lead her a life of it, I dare say. They'll have it all their own way now. and aver, unpleasant way it is, as I nappes to kuaw." "Had old Green, as you call him. any money?" "Should say he had. hope he has left Tilly her share of it. She will get nothing by favor fr~m those two closefisted old maids does not come to her by right." "I'll write to her mother this very day." "And I'll write to Tilly," John added.
Me wrote to tbe mother too he seemed so anxious, as Phil said, to have his linger in every corner of the pie, that Phil waived his rights of previous acquaintanceship, ana permitted his friend to make the disclosures to Mrs. Eaton, Phil contenting himself with inclosing a

few lines to his oousin—indorsing John's moral character—In that young man's own words.
Speedily came tbe answer. A very Incoherent, agitated, short little* note from Tilly, so badly penned and expressed as to be almost illegible aud unintelligible. But John ade out from It that she was ve unhappy, and would hall any change with joy. Mrs. Eaton's missive was blotted with tears. She had evidently a talent for letter writing, that is, for the writing of letters considered as essays. This one Invoked blessings upon John's head. It referred to the writer's past sorrowful life. It was a dirge. "She always had that whining way about her," Mr. Ross commented, after erusing it. "Coddles bar miseries, you now."
Not long afterward came the news that Tilly had gone on to her mother in Greenbrier. John breathed a sigh of relier. He had learned that Dr. Green had died intestate. His property bad one to his legal heirs. It would have een hard lines for Tilly, slaving all the rest of her days for those hard task mistresses, the "wicked Bisters." The life long bondage seemed Inevitable to John's exolted imagination.
So several months passed. Then John applied for leave, ou bis doctor's advice, who said be needed rest. It was a problem where to spend It. He had no mother or sisters to hasten to who would receive him with open arms, and make each day he was at home a boll day. He had distant relations in Eng land, but none iu this couutry. Hi would have gone to Woodbrldge, as being the nearest approaoh to home, had Dr. Green and Tilly still been there. He would like to see Tilly. She bad cried when he had bidden tier good-by. He did not think that any one else had shod tears for his sake sinoe. Poor little Tilly! Pretty little Tilly! He had a reat notion to go to Groenbrier and look hor up. He wanted to find out whether she would be glad to see blm.
He went to Greenbrier. He found tbe decent, tidy little brick house where the Eaton? lived. He was shown into a dark little parlor. The woman who admitted him went up stairs to tell Miss Tilly so noiselessly that John thought she must be in ber stocking feet. And when Tilly came down to him she appeared to have on list shoes. Every thing about the house was muffled. "Mother has a dreadful headache," Tilly explained "she suffers terribly with neuralgia."
It was impossible not to see that Tilty was extremely agitated. Tbe hand she gave to John waslike ice, and trembled to bis touch. He almost seated her, still holding her hand, and she looking up at him with the old wistful look in her eyes. John was touched. He always had liked Tilly. And, poor little soul, how thin she was! Was it possible that she bad only exchanged one kind of bondage for another?
She went out to the front door with bim when he left, and he saw then in the daylight how pale she bad grown. The little wild rose had lost her bloom. He asked her to take a drive with him for the sake of old times, "You look as though you needed the fresh air." "Yes, I do not get out oiten mother is so ailing."
On the evening of his last day in Greenbrier, he made up his mind thnt he would ask her to marry him. He had very little doubt of her answer, poor foolish child for his own part, he fancied he was in love with her. At all events, he ought to be in love with some one by this time. Tilly was almost the only girl he had ever known well.
But fate interferod with his inteution. Mrs. Eaton was so ill that Tilly could not be spared from her side for more than live minutes. She ran down just to say good-by. John resolved that he would write instead. lie told Tilly he would write. "And take care of yourself," he added. She did not cry this time. Persons who take an extreme view of human maladies would perhaps have said that she looked simply broken hearted.
When John did write, it was a differ ent sort of letter from the one he had planned. On his return to camp he was confronted by a crisis in his life. A gay party from Washington came down to dance aud flirt in the tented field, in lieu of tbe conventional ball room. Of its number was Maud Gale, who, if experience goes for anything, should have been an adept in both dancing and flirting. A sooiety girl par excellence, but the first of the typo who had crossed John Leonard's path. She had cultivated fascination to the full extent of ber powers, and Jobn fell an easy victim to her practiced wiles. He was bewitched. What if her hair were blon dined, and her skin were whitened aud reddened, and her eyebrows darkened? Jobn was as innocent as a babe about these matters. To him Maud was radiant in all the fresh beauty of young wo manhood. Tilly? She faded in his thought by contrast into such a mere dull little country girl.
Still bewitched, he became engaged to Maud. She reasontd thai she. might do worse. She had weathered a good many Washington campaigns now, young as she looked. Still bewitched, he would have married her had not late intervened. Had he done so, he would infallibly have rudely awakened from his golden dream but be would doubtless have survived his disillusion, just as other meu aud women have doue before him. He might have found comfort iu the reflection that he was no more wretched than other men who like him had married—for love.
He was still madly infatuated, however, when his regiment was ordered Into battle—a battle wbich ended in victory for his side, but wblob left him in a condition hovering between life and death. He was desperately wounded and—poor fellow!—whan they first told him that tbe amputation of his right arm was unavoidable, it seemed to him that he would rather die outright. A cripple! maimed! He thought of Maud ana ber strong, bright beauty with a sickening sensation of unfitness.
He lay at death's door for weeks. Part of tbe time he was too jll to recognize anyone. Only tbe tenaerest nursing, the most assiduous care, saved him.
And when he Anally opened his eyes to consciousness, upon what assiduous and tender nurse do you suppose they rested?
It was incredible. Upon whom but gentle, caie gszalle-eyed little Tilly! "How t.arth—" b»t»n Jobn, then dropped off to sleep ag
It had t'U almost a year now sin be had this d«wy woodland rvui. He had only wrr ber one letter meanwhile, hut that letter had been her heart's sustenance ever since. She had laid It away among certain other memories of hers—memories which retained their sweetness like withered sprigs of lavender. As tbe months sped oy she made up her mind that she would never see Jobn again—that he had forgetten her. This was her presentiment. But she did not blame John because be bad not proved all that she had once hoped he would that had been her mistake, but a mistake which had been also her one joy and romance. She celled him her good angel. In tbe dear Hebrew phrase, he bid come to her—as in truth

angel of God. Daring this weary while her mother I died. Tilly found herself without a tie In life. She might come and go as she pleased. There was a distinct desire in her loving heart to do tbe one work for an unemployed womau just then. Buti it was some little time before she gathered courage to carry ouc her wish to become a hospital nurse. The alarming first step onoe taken, she went on easily enough. And she found an immense pleasure in thus being of use—as she

pital, where she came upon Johu Leonard's white face one day, as he lay stretched on his cot of pain, and she re alized. with a sudden tumultuous rush of feeling, that it was for her, humanly speaking, to tend him back to life, She felt as though this satisfaction more than compensated for all that she had suffer ed—loneliness, neglect, disappointment —In tbe past.
There was little romance about Maud Gale. She made some excuse for breaking hor engagement as soon as she learned of John's misfortune. She had little faltb in a one-armed man's being able to fight the battles of life successfully. And succoss meant to her more than affection one might fall in love many times over.
John fortunately found that the cure for his disappointment lay in.the na ture of tbe disappointment itself. "So weak a thing! so weak a tbing!"
So we come to the end. Tilly, con tlnulng her round of blessed duties, was greatly surprised when Johu told her, not many months after that, that she was tbe one need of his life. She bad buckled down to work. When love came to her suddenly, Its voice was as a voice in a dream. But she believed it— oh, how gladly! It Is so easy for youth to be happy, to forget!
Miss Gale might have maraied a distinguished man, after all. Dr. Leonard
