COLD AND CILT.
CHAT' MR, I. 1 tiik i:.u:i.y spi;iNn
She was a ery pretty girl, and she
knew it, and did her brst, in an inno
cent sort of way, to lot other people
know it ; and siio could not help think
ing, as she walked along the Fehbam
road. Unit keeping company with Tom
Dawlish wbo was just a plain, honest,
hard working young fellow was rather
a waste of time, and that marry'iog him
would be altogether throwing hersell
away.
1 Icr reflections came to an end at
the door of Messrs. Uradbiiry's office,
and she walked in wholly intunt on the
bill she had to pay. A smart-looking
young man received the money, and
wheii the receipt was made ou', und she
turned to gn, she found that the shower
which had lb catancd for some time was
C ircing down with a vengeance.
'Un, dear 1 she said, 'and I have no
umbrelh,'
'Wait here a few minutes, miss; it
will soon bo oyer,', paid ihu smarl-lnok-ino
man ; and the", having accepted his
offer of shelter, Miry found herself after
a minute or two, thinking ho was 'a very
Rice-funking young tentlemnn' (ns she
aftervvards described him to the cook.)
'and that lie had boautiful hair it was
so nicely curled and ho had a little
darl; mustache, and lie wore such a
pretty Hue necktie, oh 1 ha was very
nice-looking indeed.'
'Ave you Mia. Poolu's sister?' he
asked after a few minutes' conversation.
Mary flushed as she replied truthfully
for she was far too good a girl to
equivocate that she w b not such a
distinguished individual, but only the
housemaid and chambermaid combined
And n lieu lie asked her what her name
was; with another blush she told him
that it was Clara, but Mrs. Poole said it
was too fii,o a name for a servant, and
so called her Mary.
'I shall call you Clara,' he said
shall l't' ho added, with an appealing
glance. Mary felt her heart beat faster,
something seemed to tell her that her
destiny had corue, uud she bad no
words to sny, so lie followed up his suc
cessful Bally with another one :
D ) yn.i cur oct out of an evening
for a walk?'
o imiliirc.s' she said s.iflly.
'Will you go for x x uk c.itii me next
time ':'
It wouldn't be right; you aro quite
strange, you sec,' she uuswered slowly.
'Oh, we'll soon got over that you
know. Perhaps ynii are engaged tl' ?'
Marys inconvenient heart gae a thu np,
for hero nas a good practical question,
which shoaed that be meant business i.
p matrimony.
No, I'm not; but Pro wanted to be.'
Not a very lucid answer, but he under
stood it.
'Who to?' hn asked coaxin?Jv.
'Well, perhaps I otighn't to say his
name,' s!ic angered slowly ; lor in this,
the most important moment of her lile,
as she felt it to tc, winds seemed alio
gether to fail her.
'What is he?'
Lie'she's a carpenter,' Mary never
felt tho truth mora d.HL'ult to tell in all
her life
A carpenter I he said h a tilling tone
of Hilary, not unm.xed with scorn
'Well, of course, if I am not hotter than
a carpenter '
'Obi you are; you are, sir,' said
Mary, in her excitement putting out a
hand and restioer it iust for a moment
a
on his siuute.
Mary lost her heart to the Stuart
young man with a blue lie and well
oiled hair. He never said anything
more definite tlun ho said the first day ;
but he ivus ulwuy. ti lake lnr out, and
liii.st j artituLr about her dress, and tho
rc'.ult was th.it all l.nr litt'e hoard ol
savings, wt"nt in more or less ill-chosen
fiuei v, and Tom Dawlish was lorgotten,
There was only mm thing she refused to
do, and that was she would not give up
heir Saturday afternoon to him. Site
hadaKviijs Imd to Uke little Fiankv
Poole out for a long walk on thut day,
it being his half holiday, and she would
ne'.'r cotis'M.t t" hi being allowed to
run about wild io Kensington Gardens,
as Allied Hill (lor s the s-nurt young
man was called) suggested, while she
walked about with her fine sweetheart
Ho is such a wild little fellow, no
body knows what he mitjht do if he had
the chance.' .
'Ah! you don't care for me,' said the
hero of the coal merchant's nffioe. and
tho pioud recipient of thirty shillings a
week income. No answer camo save
lliiit her clasped hands made one in their
dumb movement of contradiction Not
lote hirnl Why, ctcry moment in the
d iy was devoted t thinking of him ;
h r woi It as negloUeJ, her money
spent, her place in a fair way of beino
f rf itefl and noor Tom Dawlish nearly
heuitbiokeit, and yet bo said she did
u tine hhi! 'Ah I you do not lovo
ie,' he r-peated artfully enough ; for
WELDON, N.
no avowal of bis own feelinc
had
escaped his lips, ,,
'Oh 1 I do, I do I' she said ; and coh
ering her face with her hands, let her
head droop dowo upon his shoulder.
CHAPTKIt II. AFTKIl TUB SUMMIlIt.
'I lute school,' Franky Poole informed
her one morning, as he sat on the table
while she sewed a button on his trousers.
'I should like to be a sailor.'
Goodness, Mister Franky 1 What's
put that into your head?'
'Oh I nothing; only Torn Pawiah was
telling mo about it: what they did in
wrecks, you know, and ail that, I should
like to be en a ruftr l should.' Anil Bt
drew his naked toes up on to the table,
and wriggled them about at the thought
of the great things he would do. 'Tom's
coming to-day. I beard mamma r.;iv
so ; and if he isn't gone when I co.-ie
back this afternoon, I shall usk him
more about it.'
'I'd tell him not to po filline- t!;e
child's head with such nonsense, only I
dou't want to get in his way,' thought
Mary. But somehow 'Tom got into her
way that afternoon.
"Look here Mary," he said, "I want
to speak to you. It isn't that I want
yoo to look at me if you haven't a mind
to, though "oodness knows I'd d.) any
thing for you ; but I doli't want to see a
nice gill like you a lowering yourself by
walking out wiih a chap like Allied
Hill"
"What's it g"t to d.) with your"'
asked she, angrily. , .
'Why, just this, that I've found out a
bit about him, and he's only laughing
at you, and thinking you are a nice-
looking girl, when you are dressed u ,
to wa'k about with, but as for marrjin
you, he'll no mora do it than that."
And he snapped his fingers, tliounht
what that action had to do with Mr.
Alfred Hill's intentions he did not ex
plain. "Why, ' he's going to marry the
daughter of Mr. Urooks, what travels
for the firm, that's what he's going to
do. Ask him, and see if he cso deny
it. Why, it's coming off directly, only
she's nothing to look at, so ho isn't
fond of showing her off; but she's g"t
some money, she has, and plays on the
piano, nml looks a lady."
"How do you know it?" Miry
asked, her lips turning whi'e, for her
heart k'.ew he bad fallen off lately, anil
that he was not what he had been in
the spring (the summer was now over.)
Not that for a single moment she be
lieved Tom's words.
"Why, I work there, and there, and
the servunt told me. Besides, I've
seen him go there courting.''
"I don't believe it. You oujht to bo
ashamed of yourself j" and sho rushed
a way to hide her gathering tears and
frightened face.
She wrote to him, asking him t meet
her that iiiVit ; but he replied with an
excuse that made her sick. He would
meet her to-morrow (S.turda) after
noon in Kensington Gardens, if she
liked, he said ; and to this sho con
sented, and for the first lime, and for
his sake, was false to her charge ol
Franky.
'You run about, Mister. Franky.
dear," she said ; "I want to talk to a
friend of iniue but don't go out of
sight;" aud then io her bewilderment
she forgot all about bin. Alfred Hill
looked rather bored than otherwise,
but he was smiling and shiny as ever.
She hardly greeted him when ho ap
peared, but sho looked at him with all
the admiration she had ever felt for him
intensified by her fear. Ho sat down
beside her, and elegantly crossing his
leg, began tapping bis highly polished
boots with his bone-headed cane.
' Alfred." she said crossing ber hands
and looking at him straight in tho fac.',
"is it true as you are g"ing to get
married directly ?"
"Who's told you so?"
"It isn't any account who told ; is it
true as you are going away to marry
Miss Brooks because she plays on the
piano, and has money, and" The
tears came into her eyes, and ber lips
quivered with anguish. "Oh, it isn't
true I I know it isn't I" und sho
touched his hand in her dismay and
looked up into his face with all ber
bear's story written id her eyes.
"I don't seo why it shouldn't bi, and
so there's the I mg and short of it. U's
no usv! making a fuss about it my dear
girl."
But it isn't I it isu't," she said np
pealiogly. "Well, yes, it is true," ho said, slowly,
not daring to look hor in the face; "so
yon may ns well know it at otico."
She stood up before him. "True 1
Do you mean lo siy, Alfred, after all
that's passed beUecn us, as you ure
cuing to be married to some one
else?"
"I really don't know what you inenti
by 'hal has passed belweeu us.' You
really ci tildu'i think I wi s going to
marry you?"'
Why couldn't I?''
Well, I don't wish to hint your feel
ings ; but c"sider the difference id our
positions. ' Oue walks nut with a pretty
servant girl, but one doesn't marry
her "
"You aro not a gentleman, as you
think yourself, Alfred 11 ill." she said
stoivly. "Yoj aro dressed like one,
but you are just a bit of a clerk, not
any better than a respectablo girl like
me; you are not a gentleman. A gen
limn, n doesn't try to take a phi's pond
I name and wio ber heart, as you bavo
1 done"
0., THURSDAY,
Mary often wondered she fought her
bat'le as she did ; bob "she deemed.: to
have no feeling then, only to reali.e that
which would come hereafter.
"I am very sorry that you let yourself
fall in love with me," ho said, tapping
his boot again. "I thought you would
have had more pride,' at any rate, till
you were askel."
"More pridu! What do you take me
for?" she nsked, her cheeks flashing.
' " J you think I'd go out with one, uud
talk to him, and let him talk to me as
you've done, if I hadn't cared for bim?
I've too touch pride for that, and I
shouldn't be fit company for any honest
k. if I hadn't, -. And yoliiiow-ni I've
liked you, for you m.ide me say it, o:id
you know it ; but it is .'t you as I like,
but the man I took you for, aud ho isn't
here at all."
"Well. I'm sorry you are disap
pointed in your 'tope of bettering your
self by marrjing above you, and 1
think after all you've said, we'd better
part."
"The sooner the belter," and she let
him go, and then sho set dowo and
let him, go, and thou she sat down" and
almost sobbed ber poor foolish heart
out, and spent the bitterest part of bur
life baneath the trees from which the
leaves were fulling, Suddenly she
looked out. lor Franky; he wis nowhere
to be seen. Shu called at the top of
uervniee; no answer came. With a
fear that deadened all other feelingi
she ran to and fro io a wild endeavor
to find him. Sho asked the policeman
at the gate ; he h id not seen him. Aa
hour passed in a fruitless search ; aud
t'leu, palo with fear, and treaibliug in
io every limb, she went home to relate
the terrible news. Just as she got to
the door she saw thro' the gathering
shadows Tom Hanlish, and io his arms
a Utile figure, which her heart told her
was master Franky.
"I met this young gentleman as he
v7.ts running riway to bo a sailor, and
luckily brought him back."
"liiinning away ! Why, how were
you gMng to get to tho sea?"
"I was going to walk there,'' Sid
Franky stoutly.
"You would have killed your poor
nu him."
Mamin." asked Frankv Pool tho
next day ; ''would it kill you if I ran
away to sea?"
"Yes, dear, I think it would "
"Oh I well, then," ho answered,
patronizing, "I won't."
It was spii'mtiuiu aaain when Tom

More hearts are rrushed alter tho mar
ria' vows have been taken, than ever
bled before they were pledged it tho
hymeneal altar. All love etorics end where
real lilo begins, and tho wife is lult to the
yrcat battle with on odo to help or pity.
She is no longer Irco to oomo and go, as
she pleases ; Iho money she snends is not
so much her own as that which she former
ly earned by teaching, clerking or house
work. Her husband follows the occnptlloo
most congenial to bis uiiud, and she be
comes housekeeper in tho widest sense of
the term. Without any experience, sho !
expected to manage t lie dotails ol houe"
hold economy, do all the work, raiso a
lamily. he neat with hernclf and rluldrcn,
and io all her mirroundinirs ; and in no
wise think ol earning money, except by
saving what her husband earns. The mo
uotony of such a life may bocomo so irk
some that every duly is a task, yet no onu
thinks she needs a change.
Fur month she sees only her own fami
ly, then another lie'nles? balie increases
her cures, nod the imo duties bind her at
home. From the kitchen to tho cellar, the
barnyard, the parden and the attic, she
draws her recreation ; whilo business some
times culls her husband to tho city, fre
ijuenlly to the village post-ollic :, tho store
or shop, where he sees other laces, hears
the iiowh, and goes away cheerlul and
hnppy. His wilo dots not enter into any
ol thcsii little trau.iactions. and her mind
narrows down to thu small circle in which
she revolves till, crushed by disappoint
ment, sho dies of a brokcu heart.
