Minnie Wardell was the daughter of a wealthy New York stock broker, and had always Iwoji taught that m»ney was the one blessing of life. At home the ostentatious display of all that riches could command had ever been beiore her, and at tho boarding-school to which alio was sont it had boen tho one great object of worship. Minnie was goodlooking, and as far as boarding-school accomplishments went well educated but of all tho ready useful things that onnoblo and glorify a beautiful face and line form, she was ignorant.

"Butsuppose tho divinity of which you speak says the rich lover who comes wooing you shall be old, and sour, and disagreeable, what then?" "Ob, I shall marry him, and do as 1 please." "But will you love him, Minnie" "Love him, no why. May, love is not a marrying commodity you, with your -oeutury-old notions, may consider it so, but I tell you it is wealth, and the position that wealth commands, that rules tho market. "The market it may command, but fnarriage is not a commodity, neither can happiness be bought or sold." "Pshaw, May, do not give me a lecturo though, for you know what my idyas are. Riches and pleasure for me, and then life will bo angelic." "I doubt it." "Of course you do. Why, I truly believe you would marry that carpenter yonder," and Minnie pointed to a man working on a building across the street. "I would marry any honest, respectable man, provided he loved me and I loved him." "Well, I would not. Love is all very nice as long as there is money enough

She could play on the piano, make fancy worsted

work,

talk a little French

and danco well but she could not give directions concerning a dinner, and she could not carry on a conversation that wont beydtid the boundary of hor ambition—fashion and dress, the last sensational novel and the last new waltz.

With May Lawrence it was different. Equally beautiful, she was ill all things olse greatly the superior of her cousin. Her father was a merchant whose name was honored and respected iu all the financial circles of the great city, and his generous soul and tine intelligence had made his word a power with those among whom be moved. He had endeavored to give his daughter not only accomplishments, but solid advantages, and thus, whilo May had learned to play on tho piano and speak French, she had also learned to honor merit* wherever mot, and to understand that worth was as likely to exist in tho soul of poor person as In that of a rich one.

Tho ditVorenco is plainly told in tho following sentence: ToMinnio, wealth was alt, to May, worth was all. During tho absence of Minnie's parents, who were away i.m the city on a short visit, sho was spending tho time with May, and a talk that had commenced with an account of May's visit to the home of a poor widow, who did sowing for hor, had end-Hi in the short conversation with which wo commenced our story.

When Minnie left the room, May directed hor attention to the carpenter to whom Minnie had referred. He was a fino, intelligent looking fellow, who whistled merrily as his strong blows drove in nuil after nail. H* was working on a scaffolding raised some twentylive or thirty feet from tho ground, aud the space at'his disposal was narrow indeed. May was considerably abutted to notice tiiatono of the boards of the scaffold was loose, and had been worked nearly off it support. She has hastened to the door to inform tho man of his danger, whou a loud cry from a fellow workman caused him to start suddenly, tho motion of his act gave the board a jerk thatrtfleasod it from its hold, nnd just as Ma opened the door sho saw it tip up. ami'tho man, after an ineffectual struggle t« srnsp some saving support, oame tumbling to the pavement.

In mmtient several people gathered about him, ns ho lay still and apparently lifeless, and May hastened across the street and anxiously inquired If he was dead.

A fellow workman of the injured nun answered Uf»r. "We cannot tell, Miss, but it wan ,i pietty bad fall." "Carry uim across the street to my home," saw May, "and some one run for Dr. Storm* md'tell him to come to May Lawrence':- immediately."

As some the man's comrades lifted him up ami followed her. May recrossed the street and led the way to a large aud finely furnished chamber on the second I floor. him lie on the bed the doctor will soon be here," she said, as the men appeared besit«t« about placing the. Milei) form companion on the white and dainty covering. "But, Miss, had we uot better carry! him to th» hospital Lie may be sick lot^c while and cause you much trou-

but laid the*m*:cs form upon the bed

and

stood with uncovered heads while Mav bathed the man's face with cologne. Sooa the sit ug nnd quick step of anew

comer was he$rd on the stair, ami the door opened to admit a jovial-faced, grayhaired old gentleman.

He went directly to the bed and commenced to examine the man. 11"How did it happen he asked and .after one of the men bad told him, he continued, "Ah, fell from a scaffold my dear," turning to May, "I shall have to ask you to leave the apartment, for I must examine his body," and May, bowlag. Jeft the room.

Itf the parlor she was joined by Minnie, whose first exclamation was, ''Why, May, how could you do it, and fyofWy*

"Why, go out among those people and speak to them, and have the man brought here to your home." "Those people are human beings like ourselves, and have souls like ours, and theman was badly hurt and needed help. He may die as it is, aad may be, dead, for all that I know." "But why not send hitnw a hospital-? "And cause him so much more pain and suffering! No, not whilo my father's bouse has a vacant room." "Ah, well, and so I suppose that I must go^out alone, for you will be anxioiis to hear how he gets on," said Minnie, with a slight touch of irony injier voice. I "Yef,

am anxious' tq hear,vJt

therefore, I shall stay $ home to-d»j And May walked -ato the window a loeked out. She knew Minnie's ideas xf 4ach thingsanddid not seek to combatjthem. Minnie left the room, and aeturned in about half an hour, arranged for a walk. "lam going now," she said cau order anything for you?" "Up, thank you." /As Minnie left the room, the| doctor entered it. "Ah, you are vra»t*n{£, I see. And ljow is my lady queen to-day "Well, very well but how is the man, doctor?" said May, extending both of heir hinds. "Pretty badly hurt, but I think that we will bring him through. One leg is broken, a rib or two fractured, ana he has some heavy bruises. Care and quiet are the things that he will need. By the way, the men were waiting to carry.him to tlje hospital, but he is fiot able to be moved, so I told them td let hinf be. Will you need any of them to help watch him "Oh, no I will see that he is comfortable, and Jane and the coachman can assist ine." 'l

"Well, I will tell the men that they need not wait, and also see it he has any friends in the city," and Doctor Storms left the room. He returned in a little while, after ushering the men out,' and said, "He is a stranger in the city, and has'not been long at work. Poor fellow he will need a friend's care now." "He will have it, for I am his friend, and I know that you are, doctor," said May. "Of course I am. But how came you to be his friend "Is he not suffering and a stranger? And has not my father been a frietfo to such, and could his daughter be otherwis© 7" "True, true but some one must be with the man, for I have ordered some modicitie to be given every hour, to l^eep him quiet." "I will go," and they went toward the door. "And I will oscort you," and tho doctor, rising, offered her his arm. Doctor Storms was one of those men whose faces are full of the sunshine of life—one whom it was good and health-giving to seo at a sick bed, from the fact that he carried so much of the strong life and gladness of naturo with him that ic did a person good simply to look at^im. Ho was full of vitality, and his heart was ruled by a great love for his follows, a love that strovo ever to think well of them, even though he knew much ill. As he went slowly up the stairs, he said: "And how was it that you came t6 see thoman, May?" 1 "Oh, I was looking from the window at him, and saw how the board had Blipped. Then I ran to the door to tell him of his danger, but before 1 reached it, or rather just as I reached it, he JTell. I am so sorry I wonder where his friends are?" •He will be sensible to-morrow, and if he Is not too weak we cau find out. Here," continued the doctor, as they roached the sick room, "are the medicines for him. These will keep him asleep until the morning and ease his pain. You must not watch too much yourself, May, or my lady queen will be sick, and then what will I do for a head nurse? 'I will bo careful aud whon will you be here again 'Oh, I shall drop in this evening and seo Lawreuco ana the patient," and, after again bidding hor to take care of hor health, the doctor departed.

Mr. Lawrence returned home at live o'clock in the arternoon, and, on being told whore his daughter was, sought her. He was very careful of his child, and very proud of her, for she was all that remaiued to him of his married life, and her face was strangely like the face of tho girl he had

wedded

one bright Spring

morning, many years ago. The wife and mother had goue forever from his sight, but tho daughter, her picture, lingered with him, and he loved her very dearly.

She rose as his step sounded on the stair, and left tho bedside of the injured man to meet

her

father at the door. As

ho stooped to kiss her his love shone out from his oyos, aud told how proufl ho was of the fair womau standing before him. "And so you have become a nurse, aud John tells me the man is badly hurt."

Yes, and he has no friends in the city, and I wish to keep him here until he is well." "Of course he must remain. What docs the doctor say concerning him "That he has a broken leg and many heavy bruises, aud needs much care and attention." "He is a line and intelligent looking fellow, at any rate, but my daughter must not'get sick tending him.

here

is Minnie?" "Oh, she has gone oat shopping and calling. She thought that I did wrong in having him brought here." "Ah, but I think you did right." "I knew that you would." "I will watch to-night, or a portion of it, and John can help you. 1 hope the poor fellow will recover, and aa be is sleeping soundly now, let one of the servants take your place while we go to diuner^ 1 cannot miss you at dinner, pet.'

As the descended the stairs, the hall door opened and Minnie came in. "Ob, May. I just stopped to tell yon that aud ma are houte, and have brought company, so yon will excuse me, you aud UntJa iAwrenee. My maid can bring my things home in the carriage, which will send for her. Come and see tne, dear, and, Uncle Lawrence, you must come and see pa. But 1 must hurry, as 1 wish to be home for dinner. Good-Dye,'' and Minnie was gone.

The dinner of the father and daughters passed pleasantly,and before it was tin-! {shed, Dr. Storms came in and joined them, and a jovial, social conversation enlivened the meal.

For a week the injured man lay feverish and senseless, but at the expiration of that time he commenced to improve, and sank into a quiet, restful slumber. May, her father and the doctor had all been lavish of care, and it was a happy hour to them all when the doctor was able to say ai: danger is over. "It was more serious than I at first thought, and the young fellow can thank Mav care and the strength of a wellpreserved constitution for his recoveiy. He owes his life io them." "And to Dr.,Storm's attentions, and my father's,"said May. "Always bound to divide the honors, Lawrence. Tfell, I suppose that we must humor her, and I accept it." "Of course you must. Am not queen?" "Yes, and I kiss the queen's hand," and the doctor raised the hand he held to his lips. "And now I must go the patient will sleep until morning, and I shall be here early. I advise the queen to take a good night's rest, for John can do all the watching that will be needed." "The queen will obey," said May, as she followed'the doctor to the door.

The next morning was bright and sunny, and shewed a clear bluesky. The warm glow stole iu through the half closed curtains, and filled the sick room with a soft radiance. May bad early visited the patient, and as she stood gazing out of the window at the sunlight, watching it run along and pour over the buildings on the opposite side of the street, she heard the hall door open, and the well-known step of Doctor Storms ascend the stair. She turned, but did not leave the window, aud so he came over to where she standing. "The queen is out early. How did she find the patient?" "Sleeping as you see him now. Is not the sunlight beautiful this morning?" "Yes, and I hope it will bean omen gf health to our friend

A slight noise in the direction of the bed caused them to turn, and their glances were met by the open, wondering eyes of the sick man. "Where am I? What has happened?" he asked.

The dcetoir was beside him in a mo •ment, closely followed by May. "You are with friends," said the doctor, taking liis hand, "and a week ago you fell from a building on which you were working, breaking some of your bones and bruising your body badly, but you will soon be all right now."

The man's eyes bad sought the doctor's face when he first began talking, but as soon as Mav came forward they turned to her, and there was a depth of admiration in them that caused her to color slightly. "I am very thankful for your kind nesis,-'' ho said. "I must have been a great trouble/ Can't I be moved to a hospital?"

With return to consciousness his active reasoning faculties had sprung into full play, anChe instantly comprehended his situation and sought to remove the burden of caring for him from those who had been so Kind to him. May answered him, with a sweet pity and anxiety in her voice most soothing to hear: "Oh, no! you cannotleave yet, not un til you are strong and well again. You must not even thiuk of it must he, doctor?" appealing to Doctor Storms, who had been busy with the patient's pulse. "No, I should think it would be rather a hasty departure, considering his present state." "But I must have been a great trouble, and I am a stranger, and a laboring man." "And you are hurt, and one of God's children,'" said May, warmly, "so you must stay here."

A faint but pleased smile flitted across the man's face. "I have thought or dreamed that au angel was watching me, and you must be the angel of my dream." "No, not an angel, but a woman," answered May. "And a queen among women," said the doctor, who had been an amused spectator and listener to the dialogue "out then you must have something to eat novv, and perhaps you will be able to tell us about yourself. Come, May, let us go to brealcfast, and we will send this young mau something that will help him."

As they left the room May gave the patieut a bright smile—a smile that made his heart throb fast. Who was this fair woman who spoke so kindly, and was so ready with sympathy for a stranger Surely she was one of God's chosen.

He was weak aud full of pain, but her presence filled liitn with hope and courage. Ho would get well again, for her smile bade him to. and as he thought this he felt a-slight desire for food, which increased when the light breakfast that the doctor had sent up was set before him.

When lie had finished it, and John had helped him make his toilet, his eyes sought the door. He was not kept long waiting, for it soon opened to admit the doctor and May. "Ah, a better look already," said the doctor, "and now, tell us something of yourself." "There is little to tell," said the sick man. "I am a carpenter, and have been in the city but a short time, having come hero from my native village, a quiet little place among the Mohawk Hills. I have been at work ever since I came here, having been so lucky as to get a job the first day I sought one." "But have you no friends or relatives?" said Mav. •Oh, yes I have uncles and aunts and cousins, and one little sister." '&•' "And she?" questioned May.1

TERKE HAXJTK SATURDAY EVENING MAIIr

"She is cared for. I have paid for her board for a year in advance only she will miss my weekly letter I suppose there is ene at the postofflce for me now, and that she is wondering why I do not write." "John shall go immediately for vour letter," said itfay "what name shall he ask for?"'

Harvey Saunders." May raug the bell and gave John the message, and then turning to the sick man. said: "Would it give you any pleasure to see your sister, Mr. Saunders? She could come here, you kr.ow,'' "I am afraid she would be a trouble, for May hasnev«'r been in a city, or awav from home." "Slay! Wbv has my name, and she will be no*tr .uble. Let me write to her."

You are too kind. How can I thank you?" 'By letting me do as I please in this

"You will have to give in, Mr. Saunders,"' said the doctor, "for this is our queen. Miss May Lawrence one of "the best queens, too."

Saunders looked acquiescence to this remark, and May shook her finger at the doctor. "The doctor always flatters met, because I humor his whims mad fancies," she said. "But we will tire you, ao I will go and write to your sister, %nd tell her to come to us,"

May Saunders, a quiet little maiden of fourteen, came as soon as she received Miss Lawrence's letter. Her love for her

A "if-«f

brother was unbounded, and when she became well acquainted with May Lawrence, she was lavish in her praise of him: "He has always been so kind to mother and I, and while mother lived he took care of her, and made onr home pleasant. He always works hardLand studies, too. He wishes to be an architect, and that is why he came to New York. He worked hard all last year, so he might be sure I had a good home whilehe was away, and now he has been hurt, and will not get along as fast as he hoped, lie will be so disappointed."

Ana little May's eyes, were suffused with tears, for her heart took her brother's trouble to itself as strongly as though it were her own.

May Lawrence comforted her by telling her that her brother would not be side long, and that there was much to do in the big city and so, ih friendly talk and act, the 3avs went byrand Harvey Saunders slowly grew better.

Mr. Lawrence and the Doctor h&d both become fast friends of the young man, who was both intelligent and ambitious.

Harvey Saunders' desire was not wild schemcs, but were ruled by a wish to attain to, a thorough knowledge of his business, and to achieve success through merit. He had not confined his studies to oue particular subject, but had stored his mind with muoh useful information, and both Mr. Lawrence and the doctor were surprised to see how much he knew.

His sister and May grew to be firm friends, for the little country girl was full of warm sympathy for all suffering, and she was filled with unbounded admiration for the beautiful woman who had been such a good friendto her brother.

Two months passed, and, Harvey was nearly well. He had grown to love this beautiful and acco»phshed.woman, who had been so kind to him.

Could he help it?

Can anyone risk the "spell of tho charmer, when it places the one great prize for which the soul longs within its sight?

He had grown to love May Lawrence, but he would not tell her of his love, or at least not tell her until he,could do so with something beside love to offer. He forgot that love is the greatest thing that a man can offer a woman, or tbat a woman can give a mail*. He was so near well that he had walked out and sought for employment, but had not found it: and during the evening Dr 'Storms had called and told him that a friend of his, who was anarchitect, wanted a draughts ^nau, and asked how he would like the place. "Very much, if I can give satisfac tion." "I guess that you can," said the good humored doctor "at any rate, you can try." "I can try and so it was arranged that Harvey should see the architect the next day. He did, and was given the

osition. ayd as the work was light, and felt able to perform it, he determined to begin with tne Monday.of the coming week.

It was Thursday, so he had three more days to be with May Lawrence, for. though he had determined to take up his quarters, in a boarding-house on Saturday, his sistor was to remain with the Lawrences and study under May's supervision.

Saturday arrived, and in the afternoon, just before Mr. Lawrence came home, May and Harvey were alone together. "I will thank her for her kindness now," bethought, "for I may nothave as good an opportunity again."

He loved her—loved her with all tho strength of a strong, manly soul, but he would not tell her, he had determined that. He would not tell her, because. he was poor, and she—no matter what she was, be would not tell her, not now at lea*t but man proposes ana God shapes the end.

They were in a cozy sitting room, and May had been singing one of those sweet old ballads that touch the soul so strongly.

As she ceasod, be arose from thelounge on which he baa been recliuingand came and stood by the chair whereon she was 86ft ted "I shall leave your home to-night, Miss Lawrence," he began, "and before I go, I would thank you for the kindness you have shown me." "There are no thanks needed, Mr. Saunders. You were suffering, and it was not only a duty, but a pleasure," and her bright, loving eyes sent their entrancing light straight to his soul.

He loved her, but he would not tell her. "It may have been a pleasatw duty to you to bestow this kindness. Itwasablessing to be, alone as I was in the great city. I can never tell you how much I value the kindness, or now fondly I shall remember it."

Her eves drooped beneath his earnest, passionate gaze, and a flutter of joy ran through her form to see hoW a strong man worships her is alwaya pleasing to a woman, and though he had not tola her that he loved her, her magnetic power had read the secret of his heart. "You put too much Btrees upon my kindness it is not worth it," she said, lookiugup archly.

He seized her band. He loved her, but he would not let her know it he would not tell her of it. "It is worth everything to me and, ere he knew it, his love came surging up in words that would not be stayed. "It has shown me how much the love of a true woman is worth—it has made me love you—it has filled my soul with a desire* to have you ever near me, to possess the right of meeting your kindness always, the knowledge that you are mine, all mine. Oh, May, how can I tell you how I love you? how much you are to ma bow all the future, with all hope and promise, will be but little to lay at your feet, if you will be mine? How can I prove to you that I love you best of all that you are my souls darling that the earth will be, oh, so dark without you? How

He stopped. He had said that he would not tell her, and he had just told heralL He had repaid her kindness by ine to press his mad passion on her. hat would she think ef him? What could she think of him. He covered his face with hia hands, and sank, shivering, into a chair.

It was only for a moment, for then two small, soft hands were warmly clasping his, and a low, sweet, kvmg voice said: "What is it, Harvey, darling^' and May Lawrence nestled dose to him.

He clasped her to his heart waa he dreaming? No she clung there closely, and her willing hps were pressed lovingly to his. She loved him, and she was hia own, all his own. Oh, how bright the future seemed, aa be sat there with the knowledge of her love gladdening his *oul.

At last he started. *'Your father, May what will be think of me?" "Only be worthy of me, Harvey, and he will be content." "God helping me, I will be worthy of you

Mr. Lawrence found them together,

and knew the words that settled their love's future had been spoken. He was a proud and honorable man, and all that he said was: "So you are worthy, Samjders, and she loves you, I am content." "I shall strive to t*e worthy of her, and I will not ask'her to become my wife for a year, that in tho meantime you may judge."

And so it was fettled that Harvey Saunders should go on learning his business for a year oefore he claimed his bride.

That evening Minnie Wardell called, "ljust dropped in to tell you that I am engaged, May. I waited an age for you to call on me but as you did not,

The year that Harvey had agreed to wait passed swiftly away. He had been successful in his endeavor to advance in his chosen business, because he had labored strenuously to win success and, though a young man and comparatively new, he was arising power in his profession. ,4

During the year, Minnie and Mr. Colton had been married, and were traveling in Europe when May's wedding day came. The wedding was a quiet, happy affair, after which the newly-made husband and wife, with May Saunders and Mr. Lawrence fori companions, made a long tour amid the picturesque scenery of our land, returning in the autumn to Mr. Lawrence's home, which it was his wish should be the home for all.

Here they had been living happily for a year, wnen Minnie returned home, and came to seek May.

Harvey had been gaining fame aud position all the time not fast but sure, and his love was a rich mine of comfort to May. If ever there was a happy wife, May was one, and when Mrs. Minnie Coltin called on her and saw how devoted Harvey was to his wife, she sighed uneasily.

May heard it and guessed the cause wealth had not yet fulfilled Minnie's dream, and, though she was a fashionable and well-dressed woman, with countless riches at her command, she was not a happy wife. Something she had missed, something that she could not exactly classify until she visited May's home and then she knew what it was. Love was wanting, and when she again sought her home the proud woman bowed her head and wept Ditter, sorrowful tears, and her heart sent up a wailing cry,—a cry that was piteous indeed—a cry that said: "Ob, that love were mine,—love that is strong as death, even thougn it wore won by the heart of a carpenter."
