A PAPKR FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE BEST ANGEL OF ALL.*

From the portal* of Eden forth banished.

csotlicr.

The young men had felt a mutual at traction when they tirst mot, and after Robert Vale graduated and came home to his father's office the attachment only strengthened by companionship. They were sworn friends.

When Squire Valo found his end ap (roachi'ng, his thoughts naturally ran much on his sou ana his son's welfare The OUQ thing most satisfactory to his an I ml was that be should take* Robert

Atkinson into partnciship. So he talked of tho matter, first with his son and 'then with Atkinson, arranged tho terms to his own satisfaction, anil oven had the snow sign painted under his inspection It ran "Vale it Atkinson, late Wm. Vale." ''There," he said to his son when it •was finished, "it looks neat. After time, of course, It will be well to have tny name painted out. when clients out of town are used to the change. Better set it up for present behind the tall book case."

Soon after this the new partnership -went into effect. When Vale was *28 and Atkinson 28, a new element came into their quiet lives. A family by the name of Moore moved into the town

The eldest daughter was an extremely handsomoand charming girl, who speedily attracted many admirers, anions them the two friends, who often called upon her, always together. It was uot long before the young men detected in each other an interest in Lucy Moore, and over their evening cigars the subject avas finally broached by Valo. •"Robert, you and I are getting to be v»ld fellows, and soon we shall bo lonely old fellows—unless one of us makes" change." "A change! What kind of a change?" said Atkinson. "Marrying." said Vale. "One of us •ought to marry and make a home for hi ID «el f, and you are the one." "Nonsense! What can you he thinking of J" "I have been thinking it over for some time," said Vale, with affected vivacity •"and "Slow, se© here, Robert, you kno'w well enough what I mean, and you know that any girl with eyes couldn't h&p •preferring vou to me.

Robert Atkinson.

A LAWYER'S CLERK.

JullaD.Whiting in theSpringflcldltepubliean When old Squire Vule died he left behind him great reputation for a country lawyer, a comfortable incouie and Mn only son, to whom he bequeathed his fortune, his busiucsa and hi« clerk. This clerk was a young man who had accidentally come in his way. Squire Vale, although a hard headed and by no meant* capricious pernon, had taken him originally becauHO wheu he required aa an evidence of fitness for the place to see liis hand-writing the young man hap £«ned to jot down tho lawyer* favorite |Uotution from Pope fciqulre Vale

WHS

oid-fa9hioned in his

•fasten, and to him Pope was tho greatest .{poet eartli had ever seen, but he had long ago givou up hoping to meet one who agreed with him. It was so delightful to find a young man who could •quote Popo that he questioned no fur *ther, but took Robert Atkinson on that recommendation alone

He had, indeed, never regretted it. flis clork proved himsolf invaluable. If thoro was a crotchety old fellow of a -client that had to be humored, Robert was the very one for the task. When some poor, confused creature with a load of troubles came for advice, it was Rob--ort who was called upon, and his good nature and tact raveled out tho story and arranged the facts for the lawyer's ears at last. Robert was always in request, ••and his employer often thought, if it •were not for his ouly son he would gladly make young Atkinson his partnor. Squire Valo's only son was named

Robert also, and when tho clerk was enaged was a youth at college, studying aw with the view of entering his father ottlco. Robort Vale was a line fellow. "Not up to the old man," the older townspeople declared, "but a good fellow nevortboless." "Tho two Roberts," as they came after a time to be called, were a contrast in many qualities. Robert Vale had stud led himself near-sighted, was delicately 'tmilt and not particularly strong. How •ever, he had studied to advantage, was man of enthusiasm and ideals, devoted io business, and on the whole much to Ills father's liking. Robert Atkinson was larger and taller than Vale, with grey eyes whose sight was as strong as sailor's, and thick brown hair that lay around his head in great masses and lie had obtained a record for running and rmviug that made the you tig men of the town uoth proud ana envious of him Tho men were aliko, however, in devotion to each other and to business, and had as well unsulliod reputations for honesty. "You may believe it the same as if tho two Roberts had said it," the townspeople would say to clinch the truth of a statement.

tmteh for her judgment If she didn'! T.UOV--" "Whatof Lucy?" said Atkinson, fluxhInsr. "Lucy, I think," *ald Vale, "yes I am a urr, she mrm mr* for yon now than for me and you love ber I am sure of it." "And so do yon»" retorted Atkinson, jumping up and standing ww bint. "Why uot a«k for .yourself* You have the b*st right."

Vale *h« »k hi* head. "Lucy does not how «an It b* h, care for me as I do for her, so that i* out "Yr- know

wish to say"—putting out a warning band to stop whatever Atkinson might be about to say. "Go and ask Lucy, and if she accepts you, make interest for me to have a home with yon. That's all want to make me all right, but I could not get on, I'm afraid, if I were left out in the cold."

It was ail in vain that Atkinson protested and endeavored to show his friend how much be wronged himself in bis estimate, and urged that as Lucy had never shown any preference for either, Vale could not know that she bad any Vale bad his mind made up, and was eager to have the matter settled and over. ••Go to her, Robert," he said. "If I'm mistaken, then, perhaps—but I'm not."

So the subject was dropped, and the next evening, when Atkinson announced his intention of going out, Vale looked up and said: "To see Lucy?"-

Atkinson assented. "Well, good luck to you," arid Vale gave his hand a hearty grip. "I shall look in the postoffice," said Atkinson, faltering, his band on the door knob. "If there are letters for you I'll run back with them first."

It seemed but a few minutes before he came hurriedly in, and throwing down a couple of letters before Vale, said:

Robert, you could manage a few days without me, I suppose." "Why, yes, of course, answered Vale, looking up. Seeing Atkinson's troubled lace, he exclaimed, "whats wrong?" "I have bad news from home. I don't know how bad until I get there and lind out for myself. My sister writes," referring to the letter he held in his hand, "that they are in great trouble, and wish me to come to them at once. I can guess what it is." 'Go at once," said Vale, "and if I can help you—but you know that without my telling you." "Yes, I know," said Atkinson

In a few days Vale received a letter which ran thus: DJEAK ROHKRT:—The trouble of which tny sister wrote is no fancy. It appears that everything my mother had, she lately invested by the advice of a well meaning but foolish friend, in securitios which have proved most insecure. In short, all is gone. If there were any hope of recovering any portion of it 1 should take steps to that effect, but it is entirely lost. My mother and sister have no one to look to but me, and it must be the work of the rest of my life to keep them from feeling this loss. So you see iny future has been mapped out for me without any assistance of mj' own, and it only remains for me to carry it out.

In a postscript he added: "This set ties everything." Atkinson's absence had seemed to Vale a foretaste of the loneliness that was in store for him when his friend should be come Lucy's husband, but as he read in these curt linos the prophecy that the future had such gentle destiny in store for Atkinson, his heart ached with double sense of loss, and not even tbe inevitable selfish thought that their close companionship need not be broken could suffice to reconcile him to Atkinson's altered fate and so when he returned the generous conflict was renewed.

It ended in both relinquishing what ever hopes had been cherished—Vale out of Quixotic chivalrousness, Atkinson, because fortune was unkind. As years passed Atkinson remained an avowed bachelor, but Vale made a wise choice and married. His wife was not so young

Lucy More, but she was quite as harming, with a more ricbly endowed nature, and what fixed her husband's regard, with wisdom to foster instead of discourage the friendship of the two

Atkinson declared he became

what he always had a great fitness for, a house /riend, and was in aud out at all seasons, consulted by the wife as much as the husband.

Time, which severs everything most srocious, severed the bonds of this i'riendship also. An accident removed Robert Vale without a moment granted in ^vhich to bid farewell to wife and friend. It was to Atkinson that Mary Vale turned in her sorrow, and her grief was lightened of much of its heaviness by his brotherly devotion. Atkinson assumed all her cares, and as years went on time softened the first grief, and Atkinson accustomed himself to what at first seemed impossible. Ho never forgot Vale, and loved the memory of his friend as much as he had his presence, and his name was as frequently on his lips and formed the subject of many a twilight hour's talk with Mary Vale.

Years came and went, and Atkinson passed his days in security. Changes were in store, however, and from a clear sky a thunderbolt foil. One evening as he came in to pass an hour with Mury, he thought he saw her preoccupied, and felt, ra',her than saw, a difference from yesterday. She sat by the fire, playing with a peacock fan and only looking up to greet him, resumed her contemplation of the blazing coal. Atkinson, as be stood leaning against the mantel, thought he had never seen her look so well. Always a handsome woman, increasing years had but added to her charm. He noted with admiration the quiet elegance of her dress, the fitness of her few ornaments.

Presently she looked up. "Do you remember, Robert, it was thirteen years ago to-day that Vale brought me to this house? It was on such an evening as this that we three gathered around the first fire lit in my new home."

I remember," said Rebert, with sigh "and how proud Vale was to install its mistress, and what a happy evening we spent." "Yes," said Mary. "I have been thinking over all that is past. We have bad ir any joys and sorrows here—and shared them togethet. Here my children were born and died. That was a bitter blow, but Robert helped me to bear it,"

Atkinson «aid nothing respecting her sorrow, and there was silence again until Mary, rousiug herself from a reverie into which she had fallen, said:

You bad known him long before I did. He was always the same noble, unselfish man I knew him, was he not? Oh, yes, I know what yon will say—but I love to hear you say it," "You and I knew what he was, Mary the best, the dearest fellow that ever

lived," and Atkinson went on to recapitulate that showed Vale's integrity, his generous spirit and all those endearing traits which both so fondly boasted in him, ending with: "If he could only have been spared to us, Mary! There was uot so happy a house on earth aa his." "Yes, we were too happy, and it adds to my sorroy now," said Mary. "No one would have been so pained to you in

MOW

as Robert," said At-

ison. "B i: surely something has happened to sadden you, Marv," he added with h-r- fhit he might help her.

She ip at him then resuminc hercoi .. in|:» of the fire, said: "I have 1m rvvfewin? mr twMit life—and my pr. nt—and- v, *r a Robert, are stngal Hy a tte in tii.i rid.

yourself but changes may occur. Who knows what may happen—and—Robert I need your help, your advice now." "Yon shall have it, Mary,"said Atkinson, wbndering much to what this was tbe prelude, bnt far from guessing.

Mary shifted her seat a little, so that her face was partly averted from Atkinson's glance, and said: "You know Mr. Cranston—Mr. Charles Cranston—well I think?" "Ob, yes, oertainly." "What is yonr opinion of him?" "Why, as to that he's a gentleman, a man of honor, I respect him highly. But why do you ask?

Mary was silent. After a pause. "Mr, Cranston would be acceptable to you as a suitor for a sister, or a friend of yours."

Why, yes, but I ha\e no sister you know." "No, Robert, I have received an offer of marriage from him. He is waiting for an answer."

You're not thinking of accepting him! I beg your pardon. I was rude?" "Why not, Robert? Why not accept? Have you any objection?" "No. None," said Atkinson too amazed to add anything further.

Then why should I not marry him— if I were not so alone?" Atkinson deep- I may yon be?"

ly hurt by the imputation, cast a reproachful glance at ber, which she answered bvsaying: -'Yes, I know, Robert, but 1 must not allow myself to be selfish and keep you always by my side. A time might come when you would gladly be released, and then you would find me a hinderance to your freedom, and I should feel it. I must spare ou—spare both of us—the possible pain Dy doing what is best now." "What do you wish me to say? Wtmt advice must I give?" said Atkinson, in a smothered voice. "You know what I want," she answered, with a suspicion of vexation in ber voice. "You Know this man far better than I can. I feel that in taking his name I could do so without losing my dignity, and have brought myself to think it may be best that I should do so. It remains for you to advise me, and I will abide by it."

Atkinson made no reply, but sat with his eyes fixed upon her face. "Why don't you speak?"said Mary, at length. "Why don't you

He sprang to bis feet, and turning at the door said: "I must have time—1 can't—good night," and was gone.

Once in the street, Atkinson hurried along, he knew not whither, revolving in his mind tbe blow that had fallen upon him. Was it possible, he asked himself, that Mary should contemplate such a thing? It was inexcusable. Yes, she was false to Vale's memory. She was ready to forget him. Then he told himself that he was hard on Mary. She was still young enough to enjoy life, and to expect her to continue a quiet, secluded existence such as she had since Robert Vale's death, was unreasonable— and why should he grudge her happiness? He set himself severely to the task of considering the merits of the aspirant to her hand, and reluctantly told himself that he was worthy of her. He could not dissuade her from the step, and he sadly reminded himself what tbe future would be, bereft of the companionship of tbe one woman he loved.

In his agitation he said the words aloud, and stopped and looked about him as if they had been spoken by another.

Yes, I love her," he said, as a new light burst upon him and every other consideration vanished like mist. "Must

man shall have her," and turning on his heel, he retraced his course, ran up the familiar steps, and without waiting flung opon the door, and hastened iut* the. room where he had left Mary.

I lose her? No, by heavens! No other! s"'ie stood in the door aiid flourished^ skil-

He surprised her in tears, which she

hastily wiped away as she saw him, aud said: "I did not expect to see you again to-night, Robert." "I could not wait until morning, Mary, he turned away and walked the length of the room. Returning he said:

A cannot^consent to your marrying Mr.

"Why?" she faltered, "is he not"— not worthy, she was about to ask, but the look of his face suspended the words upon ber lips.

Yes," he answered, supplying the question—"more worthy, perhaps, than the man you will marry

As Mary said nothing, he added, "I beg your pardon. I have no right to play the tyrant. Choose, Mary, whom you will take, Cranston or -me,—and choose me!" he added imperiously, "for I love you." "I promise to abide by your advice— and I choose you," said Mary, giving him her hand, "for I love you."

Atkinson questioned her by a look, unable to believe her own happiness. "Did you not know it? Wnat have I said?" she cried, her face covered witb blushes. "Oh, do you despise me?" she broke out, as he still remained silent "Do I seem unwomanly in your eyes?" "I owe my happiness to you, and I love you," he said fervently, "but Mary, have we any right to our happiness? You know best. Are we not robbing him?" "If Robert can see us and judge us?' she answered, "I do not fear his anger. Is there anything one friend would be grudge the other?"

EVENING

SHE WANTED TO MARRY

On a wild mountain road between the Yadkin river and Salisbury, N. C., I came npon a humble cabin in which resided the Widow Watkins and her three children the oldest being a boy of 15 and the youngest a girl of 5. I had heard of the widow while ten miles away. Her husband was Justice of- the Peace and something of religious exborter. and what he didn know about the history of America wasn' worth looking up. His mule ran away with him one day, says M. Quad in the Detroit Free Press, and fell into a ravine and both were killed. The widow, as one of the natives expressed it, was "the well ftxedest woman in four counties," having a small farm all clear and considerable personal property. Half a mile from the house I met Jeremiah, tbe boy spoken of. He was bareheaded, barefooted, coatless, vestless, and so freckled that it was hard to say what his natural complexiou was. He rose up off a rock as I approached, made an awkward bow and said: "Cribbins, stranger." "Cribbins to you, my boy. And who

"Jerry Watkins." '"Son of the widow, eli?" '•Yaas. Be you'n he 'unf" "Yes." "From the no'tb*" **Yes." 4 "Cum to see ma?" "Yes I'll stop for dinner.** "Glad on't. Gwine to hev' chicken. Ma sent me out to meet you 'un." "Many thanks to both of you "Say!" he continued, as he trotted along beside me, "'I like you 'un yon 'un wears white shirts and clothes, and I'll jigger (bet) you 'un know roots from tree-tops. Hev' vou 'un cum to marry ma?"

I laughed, and he was much put out for a moment. Then he said: "Wish you 'un would. Then I could hev' a gun. If you 'un will I'll mipd everything you say. "Perhaps your mother doesn't want to marry again "Mugs! She'd marry you 'un like lightning. Say! if you 'un has her, you 'un will git me a gun, won't you? Say! I saw a b'ar yesterday. Say! I know whar I could shoot a powerful lot o' 'coons. Sayl I'll speak to mam fur ye if you 'un will promise the gun."

The widow was at the door to give me welcome. The second child, who was a 10-year old girl, was barefooted and freckled and towlieaded, and tho younger one had on only a single garment and was rolling in the dirt. "Cum right in an' squat," said the widow as we shook hands. "Pete McCyy was sayiug last night that you was headed this way and would stop. Ar' ye thirstable? May, jostle him over a glass of buttermilk. We'll cribbins (eat) in about an hour."

We talked about the weather, the state of the roads, etc., as she bustled around to get dinner, but pretty soon Jerry went out of doors and called— "Ma! ma! Cum outer yere!" "Jerry, you shetl" replied the mother. "Ma! will you 'un marry he 'un?" continued Jerry. "Now, Jerry, if yer don't stop yer guzBum I'll skin yer alive!" she exclaimed, as

let at bim.

Jerry made off and Sat down on" a log, and the widow turned to me to explain-— "Don't pay no seriousness to he 'un, sir. Jerry wants anew pop right bad, and I do say that I'm dun tired of this yere gittin' along alone. But I'm not gwine ter offer myself to anybody."

Just before dinner tttd Oldest girl made friends with me, materially assisted by some candy, and she suddenly bawled out "Ma! mal gwine to marry him?" |j "Now, Molly!" chidad the mother.. "Wish yer would!" added the youngest, who went by the name of Nancy. "Now, Nancy! While I do go fur to say he 'un is the smartest-looking stranger I've seen fur a year, mebbe he 'un don't think shucks of me."

I kept fighting shy of the maiu question and by-and-by we sat down to dinner. The blessing had been scarcely asked when Jerry, who had made a tremendous effort to wash his face and comb his hair,, looked up at his mother and asked— "Has be 'un asked you yit?" "Jerry!" she chided. 1 "But don't he 'uu want yer?" A "Jerry!" "But don't I want anew pap and a gun?" he loudly demanded. "Don't serious him," she said to me as she helped me to a leg of a chicken. "While I will go fur to declare that I have seventy-six acres of land, three mewls, a cow, thirty-two hogs, four stacks of hay, and $28 in cash, I've alius sorter disagreed with second marriages. They mayn't be happy." .• "Your husband was a good man, I've heard," I replied. "Yes. A pumpkin is good—good 'nuff fur a pumpkin. He knowed considerable, and thar' was considerable he never knowed. He was all goodness—too much of it. Never made a hundred dollars in his life." "You must have been quite a business woman to have got along so well" "You jigger! 1 kin turn a dollar as well as the best of 'em. While I will go fur to say second marriages are not alius happy, the man who gits me don't git no sittor nor complainer."

I managed to turn the subject for awhile, but as soon a& dinner was over Jerry took his mother into the other room for a consultation, and Molly came and sat down beside me, and asked— "Do you 'un like ma?"

"Oh, yes." "And she likes you. Wish you was my pap. Mebbe you will be by to-morrer."

I went ont and sat down under a tree to smoke a cigar, and pretty soon Jerry came out. He had a business look all over his face as he said— "I've axed ma if she would hev* ye."

Have you? You are real kind." "And she says she will." ••Indeed!" "And how about that gun? When shall I git it?" "Say, Jerry, did you ever have a dollar all at once?" asked. "Lor* no—nor two bits!" "If ril give you a big silver dollar, wiD you let up on that gun until I come again?" "Will If Hoop snakes and bad fighters* but I willP'

I gave him the'dollar and he dashed through the house to show It to his sisters, and then started on a run for a neighbor's two miles awa When I returned ®0 the i-i -a:'' I.J ,• -)& l«'* going I was '.ty .itmfn ., b* r»f prQ*«"~t" thatlb.i.i if»agr-- to ,sy ni*t inv.
