The tired girls were finishing their day's work with quick, nervous fingers, " their thoughts going forward to thV pleas ure that tin evening's leisure was to bring to them in a lecture room, at a concert, or the theater, with a devo ted escort beside them, or perhaps a 11-1. it .l 1 (leiigiiuiu letea-tete wun a iavoren lover. Pretty, well. dressed girls they were, too, when their large work a prons were removed, graceful ajd la dy-like; not one whit less so that they had to earn their own living. Jessie Clifford was somewhat behind hand with her work, and the girls were nearly all gone when she had completed it. She arose hurriedly, threw asidfj her apron, and went into the little dressiug room from which the last girl was emerging, who said: Why, Jessie, how late you are! I am afraid some one will have to wait to-night.' 'Oh, I shall be ready in a jiffy!' Jessie said, ignoring the last part of the remark. She cashed her hands hurriedly, then drew oil her -short, light sack, and looked for her hat in its accus tomed place; but it was not there. A little wave of impatience arose within her, as she searched for it hastily and found it laid carefully away under the lounge 'It's that mischievous Maude Ray nor,' thought she, as she put it ou be fore the glass. 'She thinks it plagues me to keeip Milton Kent waitiug. , She don't know ' The door of the work room closed with a loud, decided banr. Her heart gave a great leap, and she rushed a cross the room, shook the door, and called loudly. But the boy who had closed it thinking that all had gone, was already at the foot of the stairs, having descended two steps fct a time, his thoughts full of some fun he had on baud. Jessie realized, with a heart sickening sensation, that she wa locked in for the night. ' She went to the windows with vague hopes of escape, but there were none facing the open street. They looked down upon a vacant lot and a close, narrow court between tall, brick buildings. There was no chance of making any one hear, and she knew that she would have to keep a lonely night vigil.

I wish he were beside me'now,' she thought. 'The hoars would not be half Ion? enouch if I had the delight of his company. She arose from the lounge and sur veyed her face in the rather dim-lok- ino- cks. It was a bright, piquant, pretty face, and the eyes, now full of a tender lovelight.. shadowed forth the yet unsounded depths of a true, womanlv heart. 'I don't know what he sees about me lo admire,' she mused. 'I suppose I am what is called pretty enough, but I am not beautiful, nor stately, nor stylish, and I should think such a handsome, aristocratic man would want a showv wife. But he says he loves me, and I am sure he acts as if he were devoted to me. And yet sometimes I think that it is not real love I feel for him, but only a strong fascination. He has seemed to draw me toward him whether I would or not, ever since I have known him. I should think, too, he would want&ome one whose social position was better than minethough ot course ray la ther was a gentleman, and I but what's the use of doubting and ques tioning? I'll polish this glass a little. I thine it needs it bad enough,' suiting the action to the word. The twilight shadows deepened, the buildings shut out the last rays of the departing sun, and the objects in the room became more and more indis tinct. She began to feel a loneliness creeping over her, but fought against it, and paced the floor slowly, deter mined to be brave. She looked out of the windows, wondered if it would kill any one to jump down if the place was on fiie, and finally settled down ngain upon the lounge, and recounted Gil bert Knight's tender speeches, and re- ca ed how he looked into ner eves with those thrilling orbs of his when le parted trom tier only ttie evening before. The shadows grew still darker, and the stars came out., fehe could see them twinkling in the soft, clear, even ing sky above the --towering buildings. ajid with pleasant thoughts lor compa ny and wishing that the author ol them was beside her, she passed into dreamland. ' How long she had slept she did not know, but she awoke from a troubled dream with'. a start of terror. In a moment she realized her position a lone at the dead of niglit, up two flights in the workroom. She looked up at the starsstill shining down serenely, ajid they calmed her.: She was not. quite alone with their smile beaming upon her. Hark! What was that sound? She sta'itd up with the perspiration stand ins: on her forehead. She heard the window next to the dressing-roorrflift-' ed, and in a moment more steps on the floor. Listening with painful intent ness, her heart throbbing so loudly that she feared it would betray-her proximity, she heard that there, were two. They walked past the door of the dressing-room, and Jessie quaked with the fear of discovery. But under cover of the darkuess, she remained unmolested, and it was evident, also, that the work-room was not the goal of their ambition. 'We've done the thing neatly, so I far,' saidone voice. 'If we can on ly finish as well as we have begun, we shall be lucky.' 'Hush!' said the other, in a low tone. 'What if we should be discovered be fore the job is doue?' 'No danger of that,' the first return ed. 'There's no one within hearing distance. I came in here in the role of book-agent, the other dav, and took the position of the rooms. Some deuced pretty girls work here, Kniglit.' . The of sound of the second voice had struck with a painful suspicioc of familiarity upon Jessie's. ear, and now that, name! YV hat could it mean: Could it be possible that he was her lover? Was she not mistaken in the voice? . He spoke again. 'After all, there are worse robberies committed every day under the guise of busiuess transactions than we are meditatiug. Old Whitney haa been a miser all his life, and cheated people out of thousands.! It's no more than fair to take Eome of his ill-gotten gains.' ' i No, ehe was not mistaken. There was no doubt of that jroice. It had a characteristic ring that could not be mistaken. Something darker than night shadows settled upon her mind. She remained in her position as if bound hand and foot. She was almost paralyzed with horror and surprise. bad them working with the lock of the door which had closed upon her so untimely. For a few moments there was a dull, rasping sound, and ehe knew that they had succeeded in open ing it, and were passing down stairs, j There were two more doors to open before they could gain an entrance into the store below. She rose to her feet, and, listening intently, she could hear the first one below yield to their hands. Something drew her down stairs. She felt as if she must follow them. She did not care whether or not she was discovered. The dreadful fact that confronted her erased se,lf from her mind. When they had opened the last door and were within the front store) she followed noiselessly she had removed her shoes and stood in the shadow watching their movements, as by the light of a dark lantern, they proceeded to open a safe which they judged, contained the most valuable jewels. As Jessie stood there, motionless and pale, there was no feeling of scorn for him. The wound was too deep for that. But there was a pathetic ties pair in the depths of the eyes which only a few hours before had been full of a tender love-light for him. and a dreadful pain at her heart, an infinite sadness, to find that her idol, whom she had set up for worship so much higher than hisv fellows, was made of baser-clay than ordinary men. Such men. Such is the manner of all lov ing women until the awakening comes. By the light which he held, she could discover his face dimly. She kept looking at it, having no eyes for the movements of his companion. : Hardly conscious of what she was do ing, she went forward to him as he bent over the safe he had' opened. Both had their backs toward her. Without a woid she laid her hand upon his arm. At the touch, so quick md unexpected, he started as if he bad been shot, and flashed the light - i a r t . i i quickly in Her lace. W ith. a Jow cry ol surprise he met the pathetic sadness of Jessie's eyes. His companion rose hastily from his kneeling position, ex claiming, 'What in thunder does this mean?' as he saw the strange dazed look upon Knight's face, and saw, tod, that the girl was no stranger to him.- Oh. Gilbert, Gilbert! Can this be possible?' Jessie said, with a pitiful wail in her voice that would have moved a heart of adamant. He never thought to inquire into the mystery of her presence there at that hour; but he knew she worked there daily, and that may have made it seem les strange. He stood dumb before her. Had she reproached him he could have retorted angrily; but he had no words to meet the look in the fair, sad lace up turned to his, which he had kissed so often, just to see it flush and biighten under the power ful magnetism which had been the ruin of more than one woman before he had seen Jessie. forsiveneR. A it is, i have the rce to .uy ' jt ghall be share and share alike away. Sometime when I bare redevmed inyelf I i may I come back?' He had not intended to marry her. If he ever bowed his neck to the voke ot matrimony, he had meant to aim higher socially. As he had told her, he - had oniy loved her as he had loved scores of others. He had not understood the rare, beautiful na ture. 'May I be worthy eome day to ask that sweet, womauly girl to be my wife!' he thought. And Jessie received the letter and cried over it. then laid it awayt and waited. Milton Kent tried in vain to win a place in her heart. She knew he could never be guilty of the deed from which she had saved the man she loved, but she could not transfer her affections to him. Her heart yearned over the other, aud she waited. At the end of two years he came back and found her patient and some what sad, but with the old, love-light kindling in her eyes at sight of him. I have lived an honest, upright man before God and man since I left,' he said humbly. 'Jessie, will you be my wife? Can you forgive and for get? For all answer she reached out her arms toward him, and was held in a close embrace. And Gilbert Knight was a better man, thereafter, and much of the tiroes was purged from his nature through the influence of "Jessie's Mid night Adventure.' as EINSTON JOURNAL.' batu or Aotxxmzxo : Ich oo Week .., - - one RMKtih three mnil-i .' , Q oartrr column, one week Half rolaaaa. t -reck Oa column, one week , ' -J M 1M A .

Jessie groped her way back up stairs to the little dressiug-room, and, sitting down again upon the lounge, burst into a passion of tears. It had been a sad awakening from her sweet love dream, for Jessie's ideal had people to in me world Indeed, one must admit that the greater part ot mankind seerns to have a profound belief in the old a' aire which runs: Jvery man lias nis 7 price. Of all the old saws which have ever been invented, this sneer at hu man virtue is not only the most uncomplimentary, but. I am glad to add, also the most destitute of truth. There are millions of faithful hearts n the world.. We are not obliged to go far to find . some one in whom perfect confidence may be reposed. Souls are only waiting lor the tire to show of what excellent material they are made. They fear nothing; they would come out of the most try ing ordeal, unscathed. A gentleman, whom we will call Mr. X., and who does not live more than a thousand miles' from the city of Philadelphia, occupied a confiden tial position in a great railway" cor poration, which, was engaged iu certain negotiations, concerning which numerous speculators were anxious to obtain the full particulars. The company was wealthy and flourishing, and it was rumored in financial circles that it was about to take charge of the affairs, or to buy up the stock, of another concern, which was iu a languishing condi tion. . If the rumor should prove to be true the stock of the latter company would, of course, make a very considerable advance in price. The speculators of whom there a ie called his obstinacy. Mr. X like all en of true power, kept his temper, and turning to his rash reviler, said: 'The temptation with which you as sailed me was great, indeed, but I had a trust to fulfill, and my honor is be yond price.' Although everyone should do his duty for duty Vhwn sake, still it is always a pleasure to see great deeds of honor meet with deserved reward. It was so, I am glad to say, iu Mr. X. 's case. His capabilities and his perfect reliability-soon secured him one of the highest potations iu the company, whose secrets he had guard ed so well, and he is now paid a sala ry that is at least half as large as that which the President of the United States receives. - The Lime Kiln Club.
