"1 came to tell yOU that I have found it," ho continued, softly. The wilir "Yea. 1 found it a few minutes at?o. and hurried here with it.

And I put tbem all iiack and brought them. I did not know; I thought perhaps I must." 8h was blushing uow, for, despite himself, he smiled. His smile broadened as lie re moved the box-cover and looked down on the couterrta. Strango things, indeed, to be deemed essential to the proving of a will I A pair of worn gloves, half a dozen of fish hooks, and a case less ambrotype. With a plain effort Hugh Wexson turned them out to get the will beneath. "You see, I am only a girl, and I did not know," went on llay Greebom, now thor oughly confused. ''Pray loau, if you will, Mr. Wexson: I " But she saw that ho did not heed her; he was looking down at the little ambrotype as intently as though he had unexpectedly con fronted some knotty legal problem. Sud denly he looked up again. "What will you take for this picture?" He spoke with a boyish eagerness, and there was a look in his face that startled ber. With all a girl's wonder Ray Gresbam stared at him. "What will I take for it. Mr. Greshamt I will not sell it at all, of course. Whatever do you want of it? This is mv iWr our. Lucie, taken when she was just 111. Faded, of course, but any one .an see how beauti ful she was. Poor aunt Lucie! Rome one treated her very badly ; went away a month of their wedhng-dny, and never came back to her. Just because of a little quarrel! And so, instead of the happy wife she should Oiive been, be is she Lv " But ahc paused aain abruptly; in open amajxmeiit Hitch Wextmn sat starinc at hr N wonder, thought tlay Grahani; such a bo!d, f.MVlisb girl .-.be was to tell aunt Lucie's stfaii-s to n stranger. She started up ibiuecUy. I I suppose I need not stay any longer, Mr. Wexsou. And, if you please, I will toko the picture, and and the other things. " As if mechanically, he turned his gaze from her and opened the papers on the desk. "Yes, yes, I see," he said, glancing hurried ly down the street: "all in right shape, wit nesses fortunately in town; no contestants. I presuma. He hereby leaves to Lu to his wife's bister, Lucie Grey, the sum of beg your puruon, miss uresnam; a mere formal ity, ami you will enter upon your right." Ha swept the gloves and fish hooks back into the box and handed it to ber. "But the picture, Mr. Wexson? I want Aunt Lucie's picture. " "I must beg you to leave the picture.

Other matters as much requiring Interview, lennon, to his utter amazement, lining droppud unceremoniously from the case. This would be the last time be need call at Grehham. Ue was thinking absently, as be was thinking always these latter days, at he turned and saw her at the gate. Carry Kerry was striding impatiently the other way; there was none to see him take the little white band and look down into the eyes of hi- little Lucie, it always seemed to him. Uroler the old charm he went iu with ber; an hour paww.1 iu light talk before be arose to go. "Your affairs, as far as ws are concerned, are now settled," said be, only just ruinemtor inx tb iHisiuftAS that brought him; "the rest remains to your executors, and I siipdos there is no need of my coining here again. But I feel a strong interest iu you, MLs llay: 1 would like to serve you. You are " be paused a bit under the first thought "you are all too young, too fair, 1 think, to lw left unstrained with so much money. Tell me, frankly, have you any lovers f ' 8he was one llay Gresbam ; a girl of warm, tender nature, but romantic, easily infatu ated; slie gazed up at him, aud somehow the earnest face, the quiet words, grew more to her that moment than her rhrhtful lnvr' maddest protostations and moKt impassioned looks. She had never told a lie in a!l her life; all the same, now, she regarded Flugh Wexson steadily, smilingly, and quietly an swered; "No." It was an impulse, but.ever after.the lie did not trouble her; she followed him to the door, living but in the smile that lit his face. A bit awed, yet earnestly, she gave him hor nana at parting. "You will come again V she said, softly. "If you wish it yes." He would go again ; he was sure of that, as be walked slowly back towards home; ho would go anywhere the wondrous eyes of his little Lucie called him. Three eveninirs later found him taking his way to Gresbam. For what? Oidy caring to look into the gray bine orbs as never in his life before. Al though his little Lucie he had for ever put behind him. For she would certainly never forgive him; whatever the mystery, she would never forgive him . for being so hasty, so easily satisfied. And so it were foolish to resurrect So thinking that moment, he walked np the lawn. Suddenly he shaded his eyes and paused. Who was it standing by the bush yonder, that slight figure with the bronzed, wavy hair, bending down to the roses! Just as he had surprised her many a like evening far down the yeans. A vision it must be, liorn of bis own imagination, and vet so like! ""'! e gazea unto belief; involuntarily he started forward as in the old days But the figure by the rose-bush turned snd- ueni , ana ne stood face to face with Lncie Grey; Lucie Grey with a countenance a bit more settled, a bit lacking girlish freshness, a bit shadowed by the passing years Yet even more beautiful she seemed to tlie man gnzing at her with tlie fresh-beating heart en 1 the pallid face. Did he care? The question recurred to him, that moment, almost to drive him mad. But somehow it .uxu never occurred to him that he would meet her, and, despite the loosed strings of pas ion, he could not speak a word. i! was harder for her. amid the complete "uipnso and the unexpectedly challenged memories of the years. But she strangled braveJy. "I did not dream that Ray's lawyer was the Hush Wesson I used to know," ghe said extending her band even calmly. But be did not take it. The years had sud denly rolled back to him; he was here now simply to have all this trouble settled that iue 01 weir wedding day.

Business was, indeed, bewildering; ami she was only too glad to have Hugh Wexson, and the picture and hurry out into tbe bright summer morn ing. John Gresham's will did not move toward probate that next hour. For that time the usually matter of fact lawyer sat, lost to bus iness, poring over an ambrotype. "Went away a month of their weddincr Hir and never came back to her." ' N01 strange, surely not strange at all For, not tbe face, though it were the same winch had once smiled up at him with all a woman's fond devotion, the same little Lucie he had loved so tenderly the years agone not the face but tbe words, which held him spellbound. Casual words from a stranger's lips to reveal to him, after the false years, a truth of which he ne'er had dreamed. He had gone away a month of his wedding day; be had wandered far and loug with his dissatisfied, aching heart. "Just because of aircue quarrel r Yes, but surely he had oooeau.oD nia siae, that could be done' written tbe tender letter; tried, in vain, to' see little Lucie. What, then, could be do but go awayf He bad viewed fate unsuspectingly on the) one aide; now that it flashed tbe other fif teen years a dead thing, but what mattered that? He bent his soul to ferret out this busi ness, to f thorn its mystery. What had it been? bo simple a thing as the miscarriage of a letter; something explainable even in ber refusal to see him that bitter night! He had gone hastilyvery hastilv now ; seemed. ' "Did he carer This was the question that pressed suddenly in upon him; he looked down at tbe smiling pictureyes, with the question in his eyes. He did not know; he could not answer. She had been to lum all these years ui-h a hard, eruel woman, that he could barely think of bar as his little Lucie, even now. He would yea be would like to see ber; be would like to question her of this strange business. w cxpiaia to ner uis part It might be that he would like He did not know. It was so dead a thing fifteen years so dead a thing, and ho was se know me?" Sae could only look at bim. only listen dumbly to the strange questions that he asked. But soon she realized. "The letter tbe letter never came to me And it was a new servant brought another name to me that night Oh, can it be can this hard thing be f There was only pain in that first moment they stood looking at each other. But they were fonder lovers than ever, now; and the uext moment safe was in his arms, fast for getting the hard years beneath the speil of bis passionate fctisses aud the sweet promise of tb years to cuasO Anl shortly flfcy went in to tell it all to Ray. "It will Just suit namantic Ray," said Lnpio. By the window sua soft, quite lost in her own wild dream. She had been dreaming these three days past- Hugh Wexson loved h j.-, that was the secret of the picture, of all his interest in her. Sure, amid it all, this foolish little girl loved her rightful lover, but the simple fact that such a man should want her was quite enough for my Ray Gresham. 1 mly it has been enough. TJp-stairs even now lies tbe little note destined for poor Clarry Berry, when he returns home on the morrow; the decisive note stating that all nest be at an end between them. While she itt proudly dreaming, yet withal Hut the two have come in and stand before ber. A duller girl than Ray Gresham must have guessed their happy faces; almost before they speak it is flashing all on her. But she i one Kay Gresham still; just a little glance she turns with fate, and then self sinks, un important, before this romantic tale. And suddenly, with a genuine sigh of relief, she hurries up the stairs and tears the little note to bits. A happy lover walks on the morrow from Gresbam gate. A happy husband walks, for all his life through, at Ray Gresham's side. But he never dreams, as he looks calmly oa mKu exKuu, now easuy, nad be willed it he could have lost, to him his wife. This is the only secret Mr. Clarence Berry has from her husband. . ... ;. PEOPLE YOU OOW, The Colonel's Criticism of Kmerson. B. L. R. Dane In N. O. Times-Democrat "Basil, my boy," said the colonel, taking off his hat, hanging it on his knee and look ing solemnly at rne, "you've just struck it! The New Testament doesn't satisfy 'em, and Emerson does. And why! Because there are a lot of people in that negative state of mind where the littlo injunctions about vis iting the widows and orphans, and giving goods to the poor, and all that, which the bible adds to its plain living and high think ing, seem too crude for them. They want to su oacK quietly, with a fine lot of spiritual feelings, and not do anything but be proud of them. I tell you sir" resuming his hat and regarding me sternly "that in my opinion Sister Mary Thomas, who darns her poor shabby veil all over, does up her white bon net and cape with her own hands, and nurses the people through the yellow fever epi demics for no reward, is a long way ahead of Emerson; for she does plain tbiuking and high living, and the living is a deal harder to do than tbe thinking." And the old gentle man tipped his chair back to a fearful de gree and firmly refused to listen to any pleas about different temperaments and needs. Later, when tbe talk had drifted to othnr things, he . suddenly returned to it and charged Emerson with hypocrisy. "Don't say a word, you can't defend him, Basil; there tliat man sat homo clean fingered and comfortable, and called the slave owners every bad name be could think of; he used fairly to weep for tbe woes of the slave, but what did he ever do! John Brown, though he was a traitor and would-be assassin, was a better man than Emerson, for he risked his owu skin for his convictions. Wasn't it easy enough if he felt so much for the negro to lay aside part of his income every year to buy one and free him? If he'd felt as much as he professed, he'd have been willing to do it; I but no, he wanted them libera red. but at no expense to him but bis eternal talk.
