A
for unconntel generations the
homely name of "Hannah" had held
the place of honor in the Fern wood
family. - . j-
Its present representatives were
old Mrs. Hannah Fernwood and two
young namesakes daughters re
spectively of M. Courtney Fern
wood, the steady man of business,
and of Mr.Uaa Fernwoodj the one
black sheep of the hitherto immacu
late Fernwood family.; v
The more fortunate y4nf lady
was distinguished as Miss Hannah
Fernwood; ; the v other waif- always
uranUonejiritb owre or iess. indlfferJ'
fiice as "Hannah, daughter of Sile."
As the daughter of Sile she was
set apart for raubi and slights and
contumely.
"But I suppose we must look after,
the girl a little, now poor Sile is
gohe," Mr. Courtney remarked as
he buttoned his luxurious seal
trimmed top-coat bout his corafort-
mdv. and flrftw a
i . -
pair of seal gloves upon his fat white
hands. i f
For the career of the black" sheep
was ended at last. A few days be
fore there had been an almost un
noticed funeral from a solitary little
house a mile or two away, and all
which was mortal of Silas Fernwood
had been consigned to a lowly cor
ner of the family bnrying-gryund.
"WelU we cnjv )ve JJr hee,"
Mrs. . Courtney observed with de
cision. "She would be .a constant
reminder of the disgrace the family
has suffered on her father's account.".
"And you musn't, think, of eityinv
her work in your store, piMt,, Mis8
Hannah said emphatically. "Every-!
- "illicit ' :
viy vruuiu suuii icuu ucr rcmnim-
ship to us, and there would be no end
of the disagreeable things said."
"I have been thinking of urging
iier grandmother Fernwood to look
after her," Mr. Courtney announced
rather dubiously. , "
"Oh, papa, you could, do nothing
worse than that," Misa Hannah de
clared with an expression of alarm.
My dear Courtney, I am aston
ished that yon would think, of any
thing so injndicioai tar single mo
ment," bis wife averred with energetic
disapproval.
"I don't imagine the daughter of
Sile would have much influence with
the old lady if that is what yon
mean," Mr Courtney said com
placently.
We can't be sore abont it, though,"
said his wife. "And Grandma Fern'
wood has quite too much money for
us to risk somebody coming between
her and the prospects of our Han
nan." "
"And that-girl can put on such
pitiful, coaxing looks, too " said Miss
Hannah. "I hate anYbodjr who al-
ways looks so piteous and meek
Miss Hannah herself was of quite
a different type.
There was nothing of the mild and
appealing in her flashing black eyes,
in the expression of her finely aquit
line features, nor in the languidly
haughty poses of her stately figure.
My love, we must never hate
anybody," her mother piously chided
her. "The daughter of Sile is per
haps greatly to be pitied. She has
never had your pleasures and priv
ileges. Her father was never capa
ble of making money, nor ot keeping
it; with his reckless habits and their
poverty, I do not wonder the girl has
an abject, appearance.!', f.
Dr. Gervase speaks very highly
of her excellent qualities," said Mr.
Courtney, who, seemed to have
lamentable amount of the prudence.
and wisdom which distinguished hi4
wife and aghr;.-----;.;--;
"Dr. Gerrase ! :; What can' he pos

-Well, I dWllslndw the lady
sighed, .MI can't help feeling that the
daughter of, Site . will be a greater
misfortune to us than she has ever
been yet if she is not settled some
where safely away from us aUVyu;
. "There was an advertisement 'this
morning of a lady wanting a travel

nah's brilliant suggestion. -
"We mights try it that's a fact,'
said her maouna, eagerly grasping
the Idea, and straightway turning to
an escritoire to promptly" indite a
ceremonious recommendatory epistle
to whomsoever it might concern. -"Perhaps
it might be well to in
quire something about the adver
tiser," Mr. Courtney remarked.
"My dear Courtney , what possible
difference can it niakef" his wife re
turned. "The girl must earn her
living, and you wouldn't expert her
to be appointed lady-ln-wajting to a
queen, wonld yon?" h. f ?
r And so t h recommendatory epis-j
tie was anisheo and somewhat later
the orphaned daughter of Silas Fern
wood was instructed to call at the
number indicated by the advert
tiser.
'It is a law office," Mrs. Courtney
Fernwood said to her. "You have

too particular about salary if I were

your duty toward the people who em
ploy you above everything do your1
duty conscientiously ! If you do
otherwise, you will le sure not to
prosper.
And with this disinterested aitvice
the duteous Mrs. Courtney left the
daughter of Sile to 'pursue her, wayj!
alone to the designated office.
t She was there directed , tq ,an, el-
erly gentleman sitting before. , the

He smfled rather oddly as as 'he
glanced at the reference, and then
at 8 id,' pretty girl in het cheap
mourning garments. -i '.
"So you are the daughter of Sile,"
he said, with his kindly eyes atten
tively; regarding her. " rt xnew jydair

"I was not aware of it," she replied
simply. "If I had been I should
never have ventured here; Grand
mamma Fernwood will never engage
me as her companion." '
But she may do better by you
than that," the gentleman returned,
thoughtfully. "Yonr father was her
favorite grandson; I think latterly
she has regretted the estrangement.
However, we will go up and see her,"
lie added cheerily.
And so it happened an hour or so
afterward the girl was ushered into
an elegant and rather gloomy old
mansion, the' doors of which had
been closed against $er' fetter, so
many years before, and whicif she
had not herself entered since she
was a little child. "
In the center of a drawing-room
she hesitated, her limbs trembling,
her head whirling with a rush of
pweet, childish memories, her eyes
fixed wistfully upon a quaint, little
old lady who had arisen to meet her
and then paused, no less agitated
than herself. - ur.MiUJ,'

And there was certainly surprise

when the inmates thereof learned

the result of their plan to banish

"I at least suggested that it would
be well to make some inquiries abont

minded his wife and daughter, when
a few weeks later they had. been in

"1 am 'sure everything- worked
