CHAPTER XXV.

There came a delightful letter frbm Grace Carden, announcing her return on a certain evening, and hoping'to see Henry next morning

He called accordingly, and was received with outstretched hands and sparkling eyes, and words that repaid him tor htr absence.

Alter the first joyful burst, she inquired Itenderly why lie was so pale had he Ibcen ill? 'No.'

•No trouble er anxiety, dear?' 'A little, at first, untii your sweet letters made me happy. No I did not »vrn know that I was pale. Overtftiid|, |I suppose. Inventing is hard work.' ^":S 'What are you mvent-ng?' 'All manner of things. Machine to foi oc large axes another togrind circular baws a rail way clip: but you don't care nbout iuch things.' 'I lx your pardon, sir. I care abdut

Ilatever interests you.' Well, these inventions interest me very .audi. One way or other, they are roads lo fortune and you know why I desire fortune.' 'Ah, that I do. But excuse me, you value independence more. Oh, I respect ion for it. Only don't make yourself |alc, or you will make me unhappy, and

Joe to invention.'

On this Mr. Littie made himself red nstead of pale, and beamed with happi-

They spent a delightful hour together, Ind, even when they parted, their eyes fingered on each other.

Soon alter this the Cardens gave a linner-party, and Grace asked if she light invite Mrs. Little and Mr. Lit"

•le'What, is he presentable?' 'More than that,' said Grace, coloring. Tliev are both very mperior to most of [ur Hillsborough friends.' 'Well, but did you not tell

Jrtie

he had

uarrelled with Mr. Rabv?' 'No, not quarrelled. Mr. Raby offered 0 make him bis heii: but he chooses to independent, a.id make his own forane, that's all.' 'Well, if you think our old friend Jrould not take it amiss, invite them by 111 means. I remember her a lovely iroman.1

S0 the Littles were invited arid the oung ladies admired Mr. Little on the •hole, but sneered at him a little for gazlg on Miss Carden, as if she was a diviny: the secret, which escaped the fathr, girls of seventeen detected in a minIte, and sat whispering over it in the (rawing-room. 1 After this invitation, Henry and his Jiother called, and then Grace called on |li-s. Little and this was a great step lor leniy, the more so as the ladies really bok to each other.

The course of true love was beginning run smooth, when it wa disturbed by

The real fact that Grace, beherself, thanks to a daily letfrom the man adored, had not the eart to be unkind to another, whose only ult was loving her, and to whom she ared she had not behaved very well, owever, Mr. Coventry did mistake her. was detained in town by business it he wrote Mr. Carden a charming tter. and proposed formally for his lughtcr's hand.

Mr, Carden had seen the prop&Sal ming this year and more so he was )t surprised but he was gratified. The tter was put into his hand while he was esssing.for dinner. Of course he did open the subject beiore the servants: it, as soon as they had retired, he said, race. I want your attention on a matter importance.' Grace stared a little, but said faintly, fea, papa,' and all manner of vague lidenly misgivings crowded through fcr brain. •My child, you are my only one, and joy of the" house and need I say I all feel your loss bitterly whenever ur time comes to leave me?' 'Then I never will leave you,' cried ace, and came and wreathed her arms und his neck.

He kissed her, and parting her hair, iked with parental fondness at her white ow, and her deep clear eyes. •You shall never leave me, for the rse,' said he: 'but you are sure to irry some day, and therefore it is my ty to look favorably on a downright od match. Well, my dear, such a atch offers itself. I have a proposal you.' 'I am sorry to hear it. •Wait till you hear who it is. It is Mr, jventry, of Bollinghope.' Grace sighed, aud looked very un fort able. 'Why, what is the matter? you always

11

very politely but, between ourselves, km a little angry with him, because he lows I do not love him and I am raid he has made this offer to you, nking you might he tempted to contain my affections but y®u won't do lftt, my own papa, will you? you will [t make your child unhappy, who loves (i?'

No, no. I will never let you make an irudent.match but I won't force you 0 a good one.' And now you know I shall never rry without your consent, papa. But 1 onlv nineteen, and I don't want to be ven away to Bollinghope.' And I'm sure I don't want to drive away anywhere. Mine will be a dull,

miserable home without you. Only please tell me what to say to him.' •Oh, I leave that to you. I have often admired the way you soften your refusals. 'Le seigneur Jupiter sait dorer la pillule,—there, that's Moliere." •Well, I suppose I must say—' •Let me see what he 6ays first.'

She scanned the letter closely, to see whether there was anything tha* could point to Henry Little. But there was not a word to indicate that he feared a livat, though the letter was anything but presumptious.

Then Grace coaxed her father, and told him she feared her inexperience had made her indiscreet. She had liked Mr. Coventry's conversation. and perhaps had, inadvertently, given him more encouragement than she intended: would he be a good, kind papa. and get her out of the scrape, as creditably as he could? She relied on his superior wisdom. So then he kissed her, and said he would do his best.

He wrote a kind, smooth letter, gilding and double-gilding the pill. He said, amongst the rest, that there appeared to be no ground of refusal, except a strong disinclination to enter the wedded state. 'I believe there is no one she likes as well as you and, as for mysel", I know no gentleman to whom I would so gladiy confide my daughter's happiness,' etc., ctc

He handed this letter to his daughter 'to read, but «he refused. '1 have implicit confidence in von,' said she.

Mr. Coventry acknowledged receipt of the letter, thanked Mr. Carden for the kind and feeling way in which he had inflicted the wound, and said that he had a verbal communication to make before he could quite drop the matter would be down in a fortnight.

Ston after this Grace dined with Mis. Littl,e and, the week after that, Henry contrived to meet her at the ball, and. after waiting patiently tor some time, he waltzed with her.

This waltz was another era in their love. It was an inspired whirl of two lovers, whose feel hardly felt the ground and whoee hearts bounded and thrilled, and their cheeks glowed, and their eyes shot fire and when Grace was obliged to stop, because the others stopped, her elastic and tense frame turn ed supple and soft directly, and she still let her eyes linger on his, and her hand nestle in his a moment this, and a fain', sigh of pleasure and tenderness, revealed how sweet her partner was to her.

Need I say the first waltz was not the last? and that evening they were more in love than ever, if possible.

Mr, Coventry came d»wn from London, and, late that evening, he and Mr. Carden met al the Club.

Mr. Carden found him in an arm chair, looking careworn and unhappy, and felt quite sorry for him. He hardly knew what to say to him but Coventry, with his usual grace, relieved him he rose and shook hands, and even pressed Mr. Carden's hand, and held it,

Mr Carden was GO touched, that he pressed his hand in return, and said, •Courage! my poor fellow the case is not at no A

Mr. Coventry ehook his head, arid sat down. Mr. Carden sat down beside him. 'Why, Coventry, it is not as if there was another attachment.' 'There is another attachment at least I have too much reason to fear so. But you shall judge for yourself. I have long paid my respectful addresses to Miss Carden, and I may say without vanity that she used to distinguish me beyond her other admirers I was not only one who thought so Mr Raby has seen us together, and he asked me to meet her at Raby Hall. There I became more particular in my attentions, and those attentions, sir, were well received.'

But were they understood mai is the question.' 'Understood and received, upon my honor.' 'Then she will marry you, soon or late tor I'm sure there is no other man. Grace v/as never deceitful.' 'All women are deceitful.' 'Oh, come!' a, 'Let me explain: all women, worthy of the name, are cowards and cowardice driven them to deceit, even against their will. Pray hear me to an end. On the fifth of last December I took Miss Car den to the top of Cairnhope hill, I showed her Bollinghope in the yalley, and askfd her to be its mistress." 'And what did she say? Yes, or no.?1 •She made certain faint objections, such as a sweet, modest girl like her makes as a matter of course, and then she yielded,' •What! consent to be your wife?' 'Not in those very words but she said she esteemed me, and she knew I loved her and, when I asked her whether I might speak to you, she said 'Yes.'' •But that was as good as accepting ypu.' 'I am glad you agree with me« Y«u know, Mr Carden, thousands have been accepted in that very form. Well, sir, the next thing was we were caught in that cursed snow-storm.' 'Yes, she has told me all about that.' •Not all, I suspect. We got separated for a few minutes, and I found her in an old ruined church, where a sort of blacksmith was working at his forge. I found her, sir, I might say almost in the blacksmith's arms. I thought little of that at first: any man has a right to succor any woman in distress: but, sir, I discovered that Miss Carden and this man were acquaintances: and, by degrees, I found, to my horror, that he had a terrible power over her.' 'What do you mean, sir? Do you iuttnd to ofi'ront us?' 'No. And, if the truth gives you pain, pray remember it gives me agony. However, I must tell you the man was not what he looked, a mere blacksmith he a sort of Proteus, who can take all man ner of shapes: at the time I'm speaking of, he 'was a maker of carving-tools

Well, sir, you could hardly believe the effect of this accidental interview with that man: the next day. when I renewed my addresses, Mis Carden evaded me, and was as cold as she had been kind: she insisted on it she was not engaged to me, ana said she would not marry any body for two years and this, I am sorry to say. was not her own idea, but this Little's' for I overheard him ask her to wait two years for him." 'Little! What, Raby 'a new nephew 'That is the man.'

Mr. Carden was visably discomposed by this communication. He did not choose to tell Coventry how shocked he was at his his own daughter's conduct but, after a considerable pause, he said, If what you have told me the exact truth. I shall interpose parental authority, and she shall keep her engagement with

you, in spite of all the Littles in the world.' 'Pray do not be harsh,' said Coventry. •No,"but I shall be firm.' 'Insanity in his family, lor one thing,' suggested Coventry, scarcely above a whisper, is*' 'That is true his father committed suicide. But really that consideration is not needed. My daughter must keep her engagements as 1 keep mine

With this understanding the friends parted. *FTO BE CONTINUED.

QUITE A HAPPY MISTAKE.

Day by da^ I had seen the lines of care deepen round my father's mouth and forehead, and watched my mother's pale and anxious gaze rest on him.

Night after night did Maude and I lie side by Mde, and spend the hours—when sleep, they tell us, lends us beauty—in wondering what trouble was hoveling wver us. But my knowledge came all too soon.

My father had lent money, which he supposed he could call in at any time. The time arrived, but the money was not forthcoming. His health was rapidly failing him, a fact his business anxieties in n* way helped, and we soon knew he must mortgage heavily the larm, and that if his healtn continued to fail he might soon be unable to pay the interest.

Then Maude and I began to hold our whispered conversations fo better purposes— decide that we were strong, and young, and healthy, and that such gifts were given to as »o be made use of. And so it ended in our 9ending off a mysterious letter to the old schoolteacher, and waiting and watching days tor a reply, which came at last to tell us she had succeeded in finding a situation as governess, at a competency which to us seemed wealth.

The lady was willing to take any one on her recommendation, and either of us, she felt as&ured, would fill the role. So she left it for us to decide—one must go and one must stay.

At last Maude said it would be she that would go. She was older than I, and she thoughL she would be happier away working thai at home sitting with folded hands. She was so pretty, so loving, and lovable, that it seemed as though we could not let her go among slrangers. At fir&t father and mother could not listen to it, but we overruled all objection, and Maude wrote and appointed a day for her coming.

The intervening time passed rapidly away in busy preparation, and at last the one Sunday left us dawned bright and clear. Maude looked so lovely that morning in her pretty hat, with its long, drooping feather, that I did not wonder the eyes of a stranger in the church wandered persistently to our pew. It was'a tall, handsome man, sitting with the Leonards—a name which, in our village, represented its aristocracy and wealth. There were gentlemen from the city visiting there constantly, but their gaze did not often wa.nder from the stylish, elegant Mis9 Leonard to seek any other attractions. I saw them glance around once or twice, as if to discover what else in the church could possibly distract attention from themselves, and I fear I felt more pride in Maude's beauty than was quite consistent with the sacred place in which we were.

But after she had gone, and at night I wdnt, for the first time, to my room alone I felt that she had chosen the better part —that it was easier even to go forth among strangers, with your hand at the plow, than to sit down quietly on the vacant hearthstone.

However, I soon found plenty for heart and hands. My father grew rapidly worse instead of better, and it was hard work so to word my letters to Maude that she could not know of the skeleton in our home—the shadow of coming death.

Her letters were bright and cheery, like herself and when at last I told her that father grew no better, she answered she had met Dr. Melrose, who was a relative of the lady whose childrtn she taught, and asked him to go down and see father, and that she would defray the necessary expenses. 1 almost gasped when I read the name

Dr. Melrose. His fame had reached even our ears. I wondered how she could have approached him with such a rt quest, but I said nothing t* father of of her desire, and one morning, about a week later, his card was put into my hands. With quick, trembling limbs, I hastened down to meet him, and opened the parlor door to find myself face to face with the stranger who, weeks before, had sat in the Leonards pew. My face grew red and pule as I recognized him, but he came forward very quickly, and taking my hands, said: •Come, we will have a little talk first, and then you shall take me to see your father.'

I qnickly obeyed him and sat down beside him, a9 he directed, while he, not seeming to observe my agitation, told me of my sister—of her happiness in her new home: how already she had won her way into their hearts, and how glad he was that business at this time called him to this *pot and enabled him to perhaps be of 6ome assistance

Then I found words, and when he lett me to visit my father, I found myself awaiting his retbrh with a calnf assurance that, could mortal aid avail him, he would find it in Dr. Melrose's healing touch. A half hour passed before his return, and when he entered the room I knew I might hope. •It is not so bad as I feared,' he said. •Time and careful nursing will soon restoie him. The latter I shall trost to )OU.'

Then he gave me his directions so clearly that I could not misunderstand them .'and when he bade me good-by, holding both my hands lor a moment in his own, and said: •You must take care of yjourself as well, and not give me two patients instead of one.' he smiled so kindly that I felt my heart leap as I thought: •It is for Maude's sake he has done this thing. He loves her.'

It did not seem strange that she should have won the heart of a .man as high is the world's favor as Earnest Melrose stood. It wojld not have seemed strange to me had she won royalty in my eyes she might have graced any throne.

So I wrote her of his visit, and its wonderful results how father improved day by day, and now, with health, came hope and courage, so that soon the clouds would scatter, and we should have her home again.

But she answered, begging me never to think of her except as happy—that in Mis. Marvin she had found a second mother, and in her work only pleasure.

She rarely mentioned Dr. Melrose'9 name, but I could well understand why hew as silent. 80 the winter passed. Two or three imes, the doctor came to relieve the monotony. parents grew to welcome him as a friend, and in my heart of hearts as a brother, for I felt 9ure I had guessed the secret of his love for Maude. He talked of her so constantly, telling me how bravely she did her duty, and how her beautv of character excelled even the charm of the face and form. We looked to him almost as our delivdrer, for father's health and vigor were at last restored but when he asked him for his bill he jaughingly replied: 'That was a private matter with Miss Maude. She is to settle that.'

Mv father looked amazed, but I could appreciate the payment he would accept, and imagined their surprise when he demanded it at their hands.

The summer was rapidly approaching, the time for Maude's honie-con.ing was at hand. With glad, happj heart I decorated our room with the roses 9he loved hung the fresh muslin curtains from the windows looped them back with sprays of flowers, all the while singing aloud in my ioy. I had reason to be happy, for Maude was coming to a home over which hung no 9hadow of debt. The mortgage had been paid. What she had saved should go toward her trousseau when t^lie needed one, for father had prospered beyond expectation.

At last I heard the sound of wheels: Nearer and nearer they came. I sprang down stairs to meet her, caught sight of the carriage coming rapidly up the drive, saw her smile of welcome, and saw that she was not alone. 'I bring you a surprise,' she had written, and by her side sat Dr. Melrose. I knew it all. Was it not as I pictured, fancied, hoped? I only knew that an impulse which sprang from some corner of my being caused me to turn hastily up the stf.irs, and, burying my head in my pillow, sob aloud. •Ellie, darling! where are you?' questioned a sweet, girlish voice: and I sprang up, ashamed of my momentary weakness, to find myself clasped in my sister's warm, loving embrace.

She had come back lovelier than ever. Ah, I could guess what had deepened the flush upon her cheek, the radiance to her eye.

I smoothed myidisordercd hair, listening the while to her merry talk, though not a jrd did she say of him whose deep, manly tones I could hear, now and then, as he sat talking. 'Look your besi,' she said, with a roguish twinkle—'your very, very best! There—I am satisfied!'

And, taking me by the hand, she ran rapidly down into the room where they all sat.

Dr. Melrose instantly arose, and came forward with his old smile of Welcome, and made a movement as though he would already give me a brother's kiss, but remembered in time that his secret was not yet disclosed.

The evening passed rapidly away in pleasant laugh and jest. Occasionally I intercepted a glance between Maude and her guest, full of meaning, but no one else seemed to notice it. At last he rose to bid us good night, and as he held my hand a moment in his own, he whispered 'You have always been most indefatigable in pressing my small claim upon you. To-irorrow I will present it the you for payment. May I see you for a few moments in the morning?' •Certainiy,' I answered but my voice trembled, and I think, had he stayed a moment longer, I should have burst into tears.

All through that long night I watched my sister, sleeping so peacefully^ by my side, waging my little war with 6elf. How natural that he should love her, so young, so lovely But, and why had my heart gone forth unasked to meet his At least the secret was all my own—

I had not known it myself until I had seert them side by side. With perhaps a shade less color, a little quivering of the lids, but nothing more, I entered the parlor next morning to greet Dr. Melrose, who stood waiting for me. "I have come, as you know, to claim my payment, Ellie. Can you not guess it!"

A momentary struggle with myself then I answered, bravely— •Y"es, I know it all. You have my consent. Doctor Melrose, although you take our dearest possession.'

He looked bewildered, but .suddenly seemed to understand, as he said gravely— 'Then you know, Ellie? Since the day I first saw you in church I have loved you, have cherished as my fondest dream the hope of making you my wife! Darling, yarn are eure I have your consent?: •But M. nde?' I almost gasped. 'Maude is only too happy in the hope that I may win you. She is engaged to a cousin whom she met at Mrs. Marvin's and who is soon coming to claim her He is a splendid fellow and well worthy of her but I, ah, my darling can accept no other payment than yourself!'

And, in a wild burst of passionate joy, of marvelous unbelief, 1 gave it to him, and he scaled it with the first k^iss.of our betrothal. '.

THE WABASH BAII.WA1,

With the internal operation of rail-* road companies the State Register hat^ no concern, but the external operations of railroads are matters winch affect every citizen, and which are, therefore, proper subjects of ditcussion. There is no doubt that the producing interests

01

the stale are obliged to pay tribute to the transportation companies and now that transportation is as legitimate business as production, both production and transportation ought to be fiee .'rom governmental interference, and each being free, will find its greatest profit and will reach its highest development.

It is in consonance with these ideas that we call attention to the Wabash Railway, as offering advantages to the producers of Central Illinois, which no other transportation company is able to offer. The branches of this line tap (he grain and meat producing section of the Mississipi Valley at Burlington, PedHa Keokuk, Warsaw, Quincy, Hannibal and St. Louis. All these are importan points of'concentratioii, and these brarfch' lines strike the main line at Decatur, and finally at Lafayette, in the grand plan 1 moving western products to eastern markets.

It is, however, as an Illinois railway that the Wabash is of special interest to our readers. Its main line runs through the great farming counties of the state, and with its branches, gives the produce of Central Illinois a direct eastern witlet, without obliging it to pay tribute to Cnicago stock yards, elevators, cotnmk-: sion dealers, or the celebrated comer operators there. The a ^vantages of this )ne are very great, and its increasing business shows they are full appreciated. During tbe late strike its business was less interrupted than that of any of the great through lines, for the reason that its employes are liberally treated, and because, also, tbe management did not attempt to punish employes or patrons by needlessly stopping transit.
