As Flavtl Ashcroft uttered these word iu tones of exultation, he tore a note into tiny fragments and threw them n.side. One of his companion?, Louis JeAett, blew a cloud of fragrant smoke from hit cigar and said, flatteringly.; "Ah, you lucky dog, you'll play thi mischief among the girls!. May I ask ii that is a love-letter which you have so thoroughly destroyed ?' "By no means.- Merely a brief billet from Huxley, my former employer. He says that, if I don't appear at the store to morrow T may consider mvself dis- i charged." i "Tlwni vr.ii li-ivfMi't flil liitn " .T " T, . .. , . " I oat Lucie liocer died intestate and childless, and that I step into his shoes? No, no. Until this morning I feared some unknown heir might, crop up and chisel me out of this money, and didn't choose to tell of my hopes as long as there was any chance that they might be delusive." "Did you suspect that your uncle lft children or grandchildren?" asked Har vey Wilson, Flavcl's other companion. "I was positive "Geiuever had but one child, my Aunt Kathleen, who was de mented for sixteen years before hei death, v. hieii took" place about three yeais ago." If she had ever married, her chil dren would, of course, inherit this es tate." "Your uuclc might, even in that case, have remembered you," suggested Wil son. "Never! We were sworn foes. He wouldn't died intestate had he been as far seeing as he was unforgiving. His :iw ers tell'me he had vie'.ded to their persuasions-o far as to promise to make his will before the close of the year; but the year closed for him lon before De cember cam,'. Apoplexy, you know." "I believe rur.-.or says you are sweet on the pretty typewriter at Huxley's," said Jewett, inquisitively. "Bessie Moore Ah, I fear she is tathergoue on yours truly," said Fiavel,. complacently, as he caressed his luxuriant whiskers, "but that sort of thiug'll not do now. She's a nice little thing, but she must marry some respectable fellow in her own station in life." Wilson scowled at Fiavel aud abruptly left the group, unobserved by Jewett, who was also about to depart iu another direction. While strolliug homeward, Fiavel said to himself- . . . ! "How lucky for me that my auut was daft after that mysterious visit of hers to friends iu New York '. And how very, very queer it seems that no one but me knows of her mertiage and subsequent motherhood.' When her husband, Theo dore Terrill, and I wt-re both in the hos pital after we were injured in that rail road accident, he, told me the whole story, knowing that he was about to die. He told me, deluded man, that my aunt had gone crazy nt th? birth of her little daughter, ami had drowned herself,' but her body was never found, aud he was then oa'hi way to .-ee her father and tell the sad news. He never suspected that she was at homo. Lucky is it for me, boy as I was, I had sense enough to hold my tongue about Terrill-'s surprising levelatiou, for that child, is it is alive, is my uncle's lawful heir." Such was the fact, but no one had ever suspected that old Mi. Ashcroffs only daughter had bten a wife aud mother. therefore, E.ot even the most astut lawyer had the least hesitancy in dectar- ; '-'! 5"", sciuju j nephew to be his heir. j Of course, it was cot long before the i j tidings of Flavtl Ashcroft penetrated to : the large wholesale drug store where he j i had been a former clerk for the past six ; i ear, and his former comrades rejoiced j I friends wherever he wa3. ! "I wonder Mr. Ashcroft ha not been! i in to see us,''?aid one of the clerks tc b iefaie Moore, Huxley Co s stenogra- j -her and typewriter. "Has he told you , when we are to expert hiuif "I haveu't se-?u him since the last day he was in the store, four weeks ago,' Be-sie replied, with a embarrassed air. Mr. Asdicroft's attentions to her had oeen so unremitting for some-time past; that evervone predicted a .peeJv wed-! ding, and Bessie knew it ; she k.w too I thatheruwnfHmiU. ,.l',nti .. ! and sisters (for she was an on.han t hid ! loosen ror the same-reamt. inereW u i was doubly moitifvin" to feel and ral- ize that others felt that, Fiavel ha 1 merely been amusing himself at her ex pense. "Oil, well, I dare ay hrVbeen pretty j busy," .-.aid th'- Jirst so-aker, kindly tiy- i ing to hide his surprise at Bessie's words. "Different people, to whom he was'al- j ways more or les in .debt, have told me j that he has been arouh i among them .-et- tling up all his little IiaOiiitie-. Then, j too, where there's '-o in'.ieh money in-' volved there must necessarily he a good j manv interviews with lawjeis." I "Ye?," chimed m Harvey Wilson, j head bookkeeper, who had overheard , these last words, "riches entail many j cares, vet Aslieiol'l, no doubt, has some free evenings. For my part, 1 am con vinced none, oi us will ever tee him again." "Oh, I say, Wilson, aren't you a bit cynical.' Ashcroft isn't such a cad as, that."' "No? I hope not, for 1 used to like, him. But remember, prosperity tries a mau; adversity is not our only crucible.". Bessie'su:heeks flushed painfully. She. knew that Wilson was an honest, far seeing man, and that he had been more iutimate with'. Fiavel Ashcroft than any of the other clerks: consequently, he ought to be able to judge him correctly. Yet she al;o km-.v that Wilson's a!Tec tions were all best-owed on herself, aud that his love for her might, make him jealously spiteful towards a handsomer, richer rival. She had always liked and esteemed Harvey Wilson, but who cou'-J blame a girl of; nineteen if she had been captivated by Fiavel, wiio, during his thirty-four years of life, ha 1 traveled much aud learned many things, among them the art of making low-to every pretty face' Harvey sighed ashe noted the flush ou her face, and walked iquietly away. Days passed, weeks vanished, yet no visit or message eame to her from Fiavel Ashcroft. Bessie was young and in genious, but she was a sensible girl.-. Gradually his true character presented itself to her mind as sheueal of his gay life among fashionable people, and she saw that he was indee.La recreant knight. And as this knowledge was forced upon her, she slowly came to appreciate Har vey Wilson's unwavering, though hope less devotiou. "Ob, Mr. WiUon." she fxc'aimed to him one evening when he was calling ou her, I haw heard so much news to- Jay. One thing you, too. have perhaps! heard, that Mr. Ashcroft i engaged to j the lovely but hitherto unapproachable Miss Carroll." Haivey. looked quickiy at her. Her tone was not that of a heart broken w.nnau. "Poor Fiavel!" ho auswered. 'She has the reputation of being cold hearted j and mercenary. Can you pardon me if I j sav that 1 thought him devoted to you ; iu the olden daysf ' "So did I." she replied, lightly, "but , we were, mistaken. I really believed, too, that I was devoted, to him, but I am happy to see that I was mi-taken ; about that. -also." "Oh, Bessie, your words open para- die before me! I know 1 can't hold a j candle to him; if he failed, hdw can I, a rough, plain fellow, ever hope to win "To win what?" she whispered. It took many words, many kisses, many tender glances before he had answered j that question to his satisfaction; but at last he was satistied and in elysium. "Name the wedding day t" said Be;ie, 1., i-iir ,,f t,i lar "That I cannot do l i. . U : . v ------ without consuitfn.' tieai mamma.

I will write to the asyi.ua, and if the father of my Bes sie is the same man, how singular it will be!" .' - "I have lived long enough to learu that life is full of coincidence'; it is the unexpected which generally happens," Mrs. Moore sagely observed. "Perhaps my unknVvvn father may have left m some money," cried Bessie. "Wouldn't that be uk-es"' , "It's all very nice as it is,' darling." "I am glad to heav you say so, Har vey," said Mrs. Moore, "yet a little j money is always useful." Judge, if you can, of Harvey's surprise when it was proven that Bessie was the lawful owner of the wealth which had so turned the head of Fiavel Ashcroft! No words can describe the latter's disgiwt itb himself when he fcund that the pretty gin wnom ne uau cumteu then forsaken was the one to whom he was forced to resign, the riches which he had always known were not his own. Bessie would gladly ,have given him a share of the money, in spite of his con duct to her, buttbe gave her uo chance. He vanished tvtf&rv. and completely ; even Miss Carroll Svrjheard of him again. 1 1. . 1. .1 ...... I , n .1 Ladies' Hotie Companion. - Wherein Coffee it Peculiar. Probably every one who has noticed the green and roasted coffee sitting to gether in sacks iu the dealer's storehouse has observed the difference in size of the beans. It is a peculiarity of coffee that in roasting, while it loses considerable in j weight, it gains in bulk. At the reddish brown stage the loss of ' weight has been about fifteen per cent, and the gain in balk about thirty ; t the chestnut brown, twenty and fifty per cent, respectively; ami if'earried to a dark brOwn. twenty- five and sixty. It is in the roasW that the volantile oil, to which the delight A ful aroma is due, is developed, as it is uot present in the green berry. If the roasting is carried too far bejond a light brown this oil is injured or de stroyed, and th" disappointed house keeper properly complains .that the coffee has. ben roasted to death. It mav not be known that coffee, from ' ts abiforbent qualities, forms a quite re liable barometer.

GillDENEltN FCKCHASIXu SEEDS. Tiie fact that market gardeners buy the seeds they use indicates that this is gen erally best for others who grow garden vegetable-.. The market gardener sells the earliest aud best-grown fruits, get ting prices that are above what the seed would briLg. Besides, in the small ay?a of most market gardens there ii not chunce to separate varieties liable to mix, and seed thus grown woylfl be worse than useless. Those who make seed growing a business are obliged to own or rent several places, thus keeping the dif ferent kinds separate. This is most true of melons and cucumber?. Sjnie mixing is always possible, as Lees carry pollen from flower to flower to a much greater distance than the wind is likely to do. Seeds by the pound are usually sold .cheaper, as well as better thau any gar dener eouid grow the small quantity he needs. There is advautuge iu this divis ion of labor, the seed grower being equal ly unable to grow market vegetables for tamily use a3 cheaply as he can buy them. Bostjn. Cultivator. GEESE.
