CHAPTER I. j
v A MIANCB MEETING. !
On ft damp, unpleasant day, late in
Ihe mouth of February, two young
women were hastening through crowd
-for tho strict was full of people,
notwithstanding the dismal weather,
l'lii place was the upper part of Broad
way, above Madison Srpiare, huiI both
Uieee girls were (joins; in the fame di
rection, toward the north, both walk
ing at the same pace, aud keeping the
tamo distance hut ween them, so that
an observer might well have fancied ,
that one wai in pui'Htiit of the oilier.
This was partly true, although neither
was awnru of it. The foremost of tbc
pills was handsome, richly aud e!c- '
puiitly attired, bright and happy; t!ir j
other was pah-, Kail, plainly dressed !
aud, though her face was of the kitul j
lhat might under exceptional cueiim- i
rtauces beooiim bcvutifitl, it was not j
now pretty ei:;iu pi to attract even a
(assing gltiuoe.
Any rn'iiul passer would havo de
scribed these two as a fashionable
voting womau and a poor pirl. The
first paused as she leached tho corner '
of lhiityfourth street; the other girl '
alsk) paused, a few feet distant. Tilt
street was crowded, as it usually is u'.
that time of day, and several surface
civs wore passing rapidly iu various
directions. The snow of two days
past made a deep, slushy mire, ns
tlippery and da libel ous to wulk through
as it was unpleasant to see. The
young lady, who was not nccitstomed
to walking, and had no seuso of the
tlau ri r . that particular crossing,
suddenly tossed her little head and,
with a alight laugh, plunged fori, anl
into the chaos of moving vehicle and
horses. The movement was unex
pected that n policeman, who hud
lice;t Coining t In r assistance, ft in 1
frt'll a. id "live utterance to a few vehe
ment remarks; cxplo ive exe! am..1 ijiis,
apparently from every pnii.t of the
compars, were blown about lhn.:i ;h

hurriedly and then' wheels hecaiiiti it:-t-.-l
locked. Several hurss pe foi me 1
impromptu circus-fcit of standing on
tiieir hind legs, and all the diivcrs
wore loudly, heartily and with ranch
apparent iclish. Out of this wild
cu:i:ttoiiiii the young lady presently
emerged on the other side of if
r.'ct , her p.rm cloudy hild in the
lir.-u i ol tlie poor gill, and both
young women were now equally pine.
' must have been crazy to attempt
to cross the street just then," said the
former. " don't know what pos
t e sed me t i do it. You sec, 1 am not
K,'C'i:-l'iined to being out alone. I left

Ves, yes, yon have saved rny life! And
bov,' can 1 th ink you? Surely there is
f jiiietMiiijr 1 can do for you, too "
She suibieiiiy left oflT taluit.fr ab t-, t
herself and, turiiiti towards the cirl,
wiio still iudd her i.rm in the same
til m ehiv, she looked at her over frmu
head t.i foot witii one swift, nl'.-coui-preheusive
feminine plaiice ; and wln n
she spoke H;':ui, it wus ill Soflcued
aud Reutle voice.
"What can I do for yon?" she said.
' You have certainly saved my life, and
von needn't be afraid toask somethiu.;
worth while, for my life is precious to
many people, and I vuluo it very much
tnyelt.
The pale nivl spoke f jr the first time,
slowly and, :is it seemed, with di.Ti
rilly: lut her voicn was distinct,
th-l.llill low.
"I don't know that I vuluo mine as
o ivht to," she sui 1 in answer to her
roiiipanioii'.s la.'l words; "indeed, I
have been trying to think, rdl day,
how I could net rid of it. l'erhup.H
that is why I came to do an I did. lint
'ippo-e I were to ask you no to save
"Why, I would do it, of course,"
as the (juiels reply; "yc, indeed, nt
t ie i i 'k of my own. What'i your
mime?"
"Dolores Mrndoza."
"What n pretty name! Mino is just
p'aiu I'olly Hamilton. Aud were you

Where can that .James be? Ah, there
he is! You limy let gr of wo now,
though I do tremble even yet. James,
how stupid of you to go and lose me!
I mis nearly killed aud would have

"I saw it till, iuiss,"aid theahirmed

was holdinx open the carriage-door,

"l.!i. no. please; I eai do Lt'.ier

foititilde she restcl her foot a Moment
on the ftcji and .limbed into the c;r
ria;;e. Her pallor increase I to tfhat
liness, and a cold perspiration started
out like dew npon her brow and
around her pallid lips; and as she sank
upon the seat, a frioiin of anguish es
caped her ang.ii!i that could no
lunger be repre: seil.
"Von are hint!" exclaimed Miss
Hamilton, in great distress.
"A little, not lunch ; the wheel passed
over my foot," she murmured. II er
head fell back. .Sbo had fainted.
"Drive home, .Tames, quick as lihl
niii.;, and lu) careful!" cried Ji.i
Hamilton, with the manner that never
o.l'unUd her servants, though it al
ways brought prompt obedience.
vho pnssed nil arm under the r.eck

Pacific. Ocean m the Mibuibs of Sau

of tiieir desolation, that the bereaved
father an 1 mother felt bow nneless,
liow worse than useless, and almost a
cruel mockery, was th. wealth they
ha 1 rejoice I in poesiinj, only that
they riitrht ban 1 it on to thoso who
would follow them.
Hut after soiui sad and lonely years
years of such bitter Ri ief aud disap
pointment ns teach the heart, preat
lessons another child came to tlieui
and n u i not called away. They named
Imr Mary, the loveliest of names, but
its owner ruthlessly broke it up into
that of "I'olly," ns soon as she could
speak ; aud, so strung is tho force of
iiisocmtiou, to tho two who loved her
as the dearest things on eaith, "1'oily"
soon became the, most cbarmin? name
iu the world, sine'! :t represented all
that was prettiest, moat fasciiiaiin;;
aud endearing, most roguiitb, playful
and delightful to theiu.
In truth I'olly Hamilton wasa sweet
and lovable p:il. Though spoiled from
her cradle she was not seltish, except
in a superficial way, and not vainer
than other girls whoso mirrors com
pliment them even more thau their
friends. Sbo was simple, warm
hearted and a'.Tectionate, loyal to all
who loved her, and not bitterly ntifor
giviuir to her enemies if she hud any.
As the carriage was whirled onward
Mary Hamilton spent the few minutes
of tin) drive homeward i:l looking at
tho insensible face resting ajrainst her
shoulder, and iu trying to e,uess ut its
owner's history.
"Dolores Mendoza!" she thought.
"A S.iaiush name ami it good one,
There i was a Meudoza down in Yuma
County, and ho claimed to belong to
tho old Custiliaii Aristocracy. I'apa
will know. I wonder if this pii-l it
any kin to that stock. Khe has a strik
ing face, now that 1 look at her nlosely.
Aud what hair, with her olive cone
plexion! What could she mean by
trying to pet rid ot her life? Ho youu ",
sho can't be more than twenty, l'oot
-irl! And she is poor, too, for every
thing about her shows it. How slen
der and delicate sho looks! Ah! I'm
afraid sha kotsn't even had enough to
eat," and takiu; one of Ilia unsrloved
hands that wero lying so helplessly
still, in all the uti" niseions pathos of
insensibility, she raised it tenderly,
and looked with n searching, critical
raze at tha delicate attenuated lingers.
Though brouebt up in jimuy, Maiy
Hamilton had seeu eiiouirh of lifo iu
thelaudor quick fruns u.n! quicker
losses to recognize the signs of pov
erty that had ovenakhu those born to
oetter fortune. Her own warm baud
closed over tho thin, worn lingers;
and khn thought, gratefully, how easy
it would he to ciiasm a part of the
hard fate which had been laid on this
unknown trirl.
At that moment the curriao stopped

more deeply than was customary, with
her gay and happy young mind.

As sho reached the door of the room
which had been eiveu to tho young
stranger, Mary paused in momentary
hesitation before entering. There
was not the faintest sound Iron) with
in; therefore, she noiselessly opened
the door without knocking, to tindher

Mrs. Hamilton was regarding the
