Miss Lacy'a elegant carriage was stand
ing at tlio curbstone, in front of a dooi
on winch a silver plate announced the
name ot 'Lyman North. M. D.and
Miss Lucy's liveried sat solemn
and stylish on the box, having abotft nil
he con Id. do to manage the restless,
niilcient pair oi bays.
Miss Lacy' B footman stood in silent,
respect lid waiting, at the open door ot
the carriage—altogether making an ari«-
tocratic. imposing .spectacle, n t which
Dr. North s handsome blue eves wander
ed occasionally, as, in his office frci* his
scat by the window, he was talking to
Miss Lacy.
Not that the young lady was not, worth
all his|ntteutioii—all 4 the attention *any
tnan could pav her, sside from her posi
tion in society, and her almost unlimited
wealh; tor a'swecter{lace was never Jin
ed in girli-h enthusiastn than u he is, as.
her big, gray eves, glowing darkly, her
voice th.illing ami earnest, she was tell
ing Dr. North and his friend, another as
piling you M. If., a of
and sorrow and want, she had come
a-.ross on one of her charity visits; ai d,
in hei sweet, gracious way asking lor
their subscriptions 011 her list to atnelio
rate the sickness, the sorrow, and the
want.
Doctor North listened, and looked
from her lovely face, her elegant toilet,
to the establishment outside, and smiled
iu concurrence with her views.
'Certainly, I will be delighted to do
my li.tle share, Miss Lacy. Put me down
tor fifty dollars on your list. I wishj I
could make it more. Jasper, here, will
eupi lement it, of course.'
Nellie smiled delightedly, showing the
distracting dimple in one peachy check,
and her beautiful wl.ite tcelh, so pearly
and even.
'Oh, Doctor North, what a generonj
donation! Why, I had no idea yon
would subscribe so largely. No one
has been so liberal yet that I have ask
ed. '
Doctor North bowed in response to
her impulsive little thanks.
'Don't speak of it; really it is not
worth mentioning. It is a double pleas
ure you have afforded rne, Mis 9 Lacy,
that of being of actual, practical
benefit to your charity cases, as well as
—I hope—pleasing you.'
Ho gave her an ardent little look, that
brought a swift little flush to Nellie's
cheeks, and a certain delightful quickcu
ing of her heart throbs, that more than
cnee similarly happened in connection
with Doctor North's handsome blue
eyes, und fascinating smile, and melodi
ous voice.
'You arc very, very good!' sho an
swered, lifting her sweet, eyes for just
one second— bug enough to create fresh
havoc and new elation in Dr. North's
heart, and he glanced from the pure,glo"
rious, girlish face, to tho elegant equip
age outside, with a very self-satisfied ex
pression on his face.
Nellie turned to Doctor Jasper, grave
refined, standing beside tho mantle,
watching the littlo play going on, a
slern, curious look 111 his thoughtlnl, fine
eyes.
lie did not give her an opportunity to
ask him.
•Miss Lacy, I regret very much that I
am not able to afford adding a subscript
[ lion to your list. If it were possible—if
I could conscientiously do it—believe me.
I would not refuse you; but it is impossi
ble.'
His voice was quiet, self possessed and
remarkably sweet and manly, and lie
looked squarely in her eyes as be made
his grave courteous regrets.
Just the merest, faintest suggestion of
displeasure aud coldness crept over her
face as she listened, then inclined ber
bead iu licr gracious, set, haughty way.
*1 am sure you know best, Doctor Jas
per. Pray pardon me for having annoyed
you!'
She stalled the fresh, crisp fifty dollar
greenback in her HUte porteaionnaie,
bowed ber adieu, jost tinged with a little
feminine piqa®/to Doctor Jasper, into
hall amused little smile
ennt as be gravely returned to
jfrfctor North, witJb a charming grace
And ahewitching smile :Lr
•I shall never, never ; forget what a

He assisted tier in her satin cushioned
carriage, and ven'nred to yen slightly
her pearl kidded band at parting, while
Nellie, tier hot slightly floshed, turned
impulsively to the quiet looking, elderly
lady, in black silk, on tfce front seat.
•Isn't be jnat too splendid for anything

Mrs. Laurence smiled .oddly.

however.
Nellie flashed an indignant little look
at the calm, cold spectacled eyes.
'Oh. auntie! Why he gave ine fifty
dollars for Hip O'Bannigaii family V
'Ami he'd better have kepi It, to mj
hinking. And where next, Nellie?'
While in Dr. Lyman North's aristo
cratic office, with its velvet cai*|>ets 011 re«
•eption and private rooms, its plush Inr.
mlnre, and paintings on the frescoed
rtalls, its rich draperies at the Windows,
that gentleman was sitting complacently
in his official chair, his bauds in his pock
ets, his handsomely Uoted teet stretched
out, and returning Jasper's sarcastic
look.
•Well, ron look as thongh yon didn't
approve, Phil.
•1 don't !' he returned, shortly. -Tl.o
idea of you giving away the suin ol fifty
dollars jnst because the fair beggar* hap*
pens to be Miss Lacy, the heiress. Yoti
can no moreaflor.l it than I can. North.
\o«r practice is no larger or better. You
told me, not ten minutes before she came
in, that yon were still in debt for all
this,' indicating bv a nod of his head the
adornments of,the suit of rooms. -
Norih smiled.
'That's a fact, Phil. I'm running be
hind evei7 »l«y, and I owe the best part
of a thousand dollars. All the same, 1
never inade a better investment in my
life than when I gave Miss Lacy the lost
dollar I have in the world.'
jasper looked surprised.
•I see you don't take,' said Doctor
Nor'h, lightly. 'lt's just this, in a nut
shell; I'm resolved to marry Miss Lacy,
if 1 cat.'
For just one second, an inscrutable look
swept across Jasp-r's fine, thoughtful
lace.
'Or her money—which?' he asked,
with a little sharp bitterness in his
voice.
•Llolh, Doctor North answered. 'Do
you consider me too ambitious?'
Doclor Jasper frowned slightly.
'My opinion might uot bo agreeable,
Lyman, and—'
North iulerrupted with a laugh.
•AS it evidently was not to the 'fair
beggar.' How in the world had you the
conrage to tell her—actually tell her—
you could ».ot afford it ?'
All the nobility in Phillip Jasper's
nature looked out of hi« dark eyes at
that.
MJow conld yon give her—actually
give her- money that was really uot your
own to give?' t
'1 can't see it in that liglif,' North re
torted lighting a cigar.
Then the subject was dropped, and
Doctor Jasper .vent away lo his round of
duties that, day in ami day out, he
conscicntously perf»H-ined, making tor his
name and skill a sure, if slow, foundation
that would one day be a glorious siruc»
ture to his credit.
Nellie Lacy's gentle eves were full ol
womanly pity and sympathy, and shesat
patiently listening to Fannie O'Biien's
story: and Fannie was her up-stairs girl
—a faithful, intelligent creature, in whom
and whose affairs the sweet young mis
tress had always taken the warmest in
terest.
'And it is (he small-poxi your mother
has? Oh, Fannie, that is terrible—terri
ble. Of course it will not be right for
yon to come here among us from her
and of course you must go lo her and
lake the be«t care of her you can. Don't
worry about your wages—they will go
right on, and after Ihe doctor thinks it
safe yon must come back. What doctor
have you Fannie?
A Iresh burst of sobs came from the
girls quivering lips.
"Indade aud that's Ihe sore thronble,
ma'am ? its siviu or eight docther's I've
been afilier, snd nivea a wan'll go to my
onld mother, bekase it's a bad disease;
and I'll not have her took to the hospital,
ma'am, uot if 1 dies wid her in the
house."
Nellie's brow contracted in surprise, a
thoughtful frown, and a look of indigna
tion was In her eyes.
•No doctor will go? Why, I never
heard of soch a thing. I thought doctors
always went wherever they we*e called
aunUj?*' and *be turned Impctuosly to
ward placid Mrs. Lawrence, sewing at a
window opposite. 'Wbatdo you think
of such cruel, heathenish behavior?'
Mrs. Laurence looked up, a luuuy lit>
tie smile 011 her lipe.
( i simply think Faauie has happened
to call tbe wreng physician, that is
all. Have yon been for Dr. North Fans
nie?
The girl shook ber bead.
•North—North, ma'am? No, ma'am
It's a Btranger to me.'
'He'd go in a minute,' Nellie said, a
dainty little flush on ber cheeks. 'He is
none of yonr cowardly physicians 5 he is
a generous, noble, charitable gentleman,
a friend of mine, and I know he will
look alter your mother, small-pox not
withstanding. i
Mrs. Laurence smiled ever so cold
i»-. •
'And then there is young |l)r.' Jasper
—my favorite, you know. He would go,
I I*lll pretty sure.'. , "'
Nellie's lip curled. - •
'How strange yon are, anntie! Why (
he is tho un»st distant, hniightv, proud,
stingy man I ever saw! Go? He'djquiuk

And, to the poor creature's grateful
delight, Miss Nellie Licy actually ac
companied her to Dr. North's office-door
when, the bell being answered by the
colored boy, F.uiuie, with true Irish im
petuosity, blurted out her message—the
message that came from her trne, trub
led heart. \
•it's the docther I .be wantin—Docthcr
North—to go at once and see lira darlin'
ould mother,a-l\in' sick whl the small
pox, and ravin' liko a laoonatick, and—'
The loud-spoken, intense words tiiat
Nellie could not check in their eager flow
reached Doclor North's cars, as he sat
in his cosy office, with brilliant gas-light
aud one or two choice book", aud a box
of cigars, making it very congenial to bis
tastes. 1,
'Put her out, Lockrey! We don't want
the small-pox here! Tel! her to go to the
police stafion tor a hospital surgeon.
Shut the door, Lockrey, il you don't want
to catch ii. Tne low dirty Irish Biddies
are too impudent lot anything!'
'And would yez let me mother die
like a dog, Doclor North? For shwate
mercy sake, go wid us doctbor, and
I'll—
Nellie heard a quick, angry footstep,
coining toward the door, and site shrank
hack into tbo£|darkue*B just as Doctor
North appeared.
'Clear out, I tell you! What do you
suppose / cafe whether the old woiiian
dies or lives?'
• The door was slummed sharp in their
faces,
For one second Nellie's eves flashed,
then a little smile crept over thcra*
'Never mind, Fumiie; I'm just mintn*
keu iu Dr. North. We'll go 10 auntie a
choice now, and tsomehow 1 4 begiu to
think he is the one. , .
They met Doctor Jasper just leav
ing his office, aud. at 0110 word from
Nellie, Faunie addressed him, telling her
pilitul little 6tory with, true Irish elo
quence. ,
Doctor Jasper listened patiently
gravely.
'You arc quite sure il is small pox?
The ould woman says so, sir. If yez
would only coine!'
"I'll go in halt an hour.- Givo mo your
street and number, und go to a ilrog
store and gel this perscription filled, aud
give it to her just us soon us you gel
home. Keep her warm, aud as quiet as
possible. 1 guess it will i>® ail right; 1
will do all I can anjhow.'
He stepped back into the light of bis
office window and wrote a perscripliou;
and Nellie, watching wondered
where the cold, haughty look was she
had peon so plainly before.
Then ho went on, aud Fumiie escorted
her young mistress home, to be well
freighted with needful necessaries aud a
few needful luxuries, and a mouths
wages iu advance, before she wont to
own little third floor rear room.
Nellie went down stairs into (lie dus
ky parlors, aud thought over the odd lit
tle adventure of the evening; and the
result was that, When Doclor North at
tended her Thuraday evening, he was
quite astonished lo account fcr Mi»s
Lacy's cold courtesy, instead ot the
charming graciousncss he had expected
and-most ardently desired.
And as he never received a second li*
viiation he became satisfied that some
thing had happened—something he never
knew, nutil a year or to After, when
Nellie Lacy was Doctor Jasper's wife;
aud then, by some mysterious means, he
learn bow it had all happened. Aud he
knew be was deserving of his received
deserts.

[From President Frhcbard's Inaugural Address
at Wake For«st College, reported
In Ualeigh Observer ]
Tho next point presented was the pres
ent condition ol education in North Car
oliua. it was showu by reports of the
Superintendent ol Public Instruction thai
only one half of tlie children of the State
were eurolled in the public schools, and
that tli3 average atleudaiicc was only one
iu three, that tho average length of teirn
ot the schools was only nine I peeks, in
stead of uine mouth", and the amount of
one dollar lor each cliild'a tuition lor a
year. We have lour hundred thousand
people who cannot read and write—about
out- in three. How long before wi oan
hope to realize the boast oi the Swiss
statesman tbat there was uot to be fonud
iu all his country a man or woman, not
an idiot, who could not read and write?
Three things are necessary to tbe es
tablishment of an effective school system.
First, tbe people must be shown the vsl
pe ol education, so that they will be will
uig lo be taxed to sustain schoo'a; sec
ondly, tbe politicians must be sufficient I*
intelligent to see this great luterest in Its
true light, so as to be willing to pass the
necessary laws; and, thirdly, competent
teachers must be found. For these reas
ous we most have schoofs ot higher learn
ing—colleges, seminaries end snivel si
ties—to lead the people. One educated
nan could mould the opinions cm a thous
and others, aud thos tbe blessiuds of ed
ucation may be wktoly
We must bare colleges, ami our col
leges must be more largely patronised,
and Iu >rder to do tbe work expected o!
them they must be better equipped. They
should have chairs of English Language
and literature, ot Chemistry iu ks ap
plication to Agriculture, of Natural His-,
tory, and they should have gymnasiums
too. They should hare money and a good
deal ot it, to do these things. Then each
college should bsvc eight or ten good
academies as feeders, and tbe basis of all
tbe education taught them should be tbe
Christian religion. Moral education was
to be placed below mental.
