HIDDEN LOYE.
BY J. II. W.
Rusiualt3 Douglas had juat returned
from tiie Oouldeiit, BDd it was not tar
dil' made known that bo bad accu
mulated a fortune witblu tho shadow
of the Golden Gate.
Ho was much pa3t 40, aud a child
less widower, and it waa not long be
fore h!a slater knew that ho intended
to make her handsome sou his heir.
ButMrB. Guion was plentifully en
dowed with tho goodly things of the
world, and demurred In a manner
Beomlngly wise and alleotiouate.
"You'uro-not old, Ueggy,V she ob
served tenderly, "and rncBt desirable
women admiro you. Why should you
not marry again and rear up c family
of hoirs and heiresses of your own?"
A most satirical smild curled his
bearded lips.
"I'dld not find matrimony bo sweet
and fine a state that-1 Bhould wish to
try it again, ' h3 answered.
"Aud yet your late wife was Baid to
bo beautiful, irreproaohable, and was
rich and .nristocratio like yoursolf,"
returned his sister.
'Yes,'' horeapoudod Blowly ; "buta
wife,- If unloved and. unloving, may
be all this and yet make heme a hate
ful place, and a husband a "cynic or a
fiond:" -
"How Bhockiugi'' ejaculated Mrs.
Guion.
"The only woman I over loved,-"
he went on, blttorly, "was false, or,
thinking me so, vanished but of my
life in silenco aud mystery; and that
event left my heart in ashes. I mar
ried In an angry haste, and my bonds
were my rightful punishment." .
"There must still bo flame beneath
the ashes, Reginald," was tho balf
playful reply ; or surely you would
not yet romember AgneB Do Idoville
to speak of her thus."
"I loved her," he said.
"Impossible ! You could not have
truly loved a varietj actress.'
"And why?" ho demanded, with
energy. "Agnos was pure as enow
and as noble In principle as Bho was
comely in person. She was tho sole
support of a dying father and a heart
broken Invalid sister. She could pro
euro no other employment to give
them the neeessarios of life. Surely
It was no dishonor, with such a mo
tive, to sing for her bread, thoogh her
songs were heard by tho gross and
clownish."
"Yon were always peouliar in your
ideas," said Mrs. Guion, with a sneer;
"and my eon is like you ; ho fell in
love with my maid, and I was oblig
ed to send her away."
"No I" exclaimed her brother, the
Douglas pride bringing forth a disap
proving frown, In epito of his own
tender memories and valiant plebe
ianism. "Yes,"' responded hl9 sister, pursu
ing her vantage with vigor, "he
would have married her at once had
not I threatened him with expulsion
from his home and utter and eternal
disinheritance."
"You did rightly," said Reginald
Douglas.
"But you boo if you make him your
heir ho will be independent of my
riches,'" said Mrs, Gulno, appeolingly.
"He shall never have a dollar of
mine except on conditions that will
make it impossible for him to take a
wife from o olass beneath him," ans
wered the wealthy man. "The good
old grauite Douglas pride is beneath
tho ashes of my heart no dissolving
flamo, as you shall seo."
"I am glad it is bo, Reginald,"' re
joined Mrs. Guion.
"And now I will go out and And the
lad," eaid her brother.
Tho way was heavy with o cloudy
heat as he went forth, and as ho
reached the humming, whirling
Broadway a shock of thunder crack
ed aoross the dead air..
He turned Into a side street, and
was half across it when a blinding
lightning flash dazed him.
. Ho heard a shout of warning and
alarm, a roar of grinding wheels and
crushing hoofs, and the next Instant
found himself struck down, duly
stunned, and consclousjojolyfta gS5t
atingln'g.sona3tlonofrpalri.''
Houra later, when his senses came
back, he found himself in a pretty,
simple chamber, alone with the fair
est creaturo he had ever Been.
She was a petit blonde, colorless as
snow, with blaok-gray eyes and dead
gold hair, like a nimbus, framing her
perfect and angelic young face.
She was evidently a lady, notwith
standing her meek robes and una
dorned surroundings.
A motion fretted his bruises, and he
uttorcd a groan.
She was at his Bide instantly, hold
ing a dainty cup to his lips with an
authoritative hand.
"Please take this," she said, with
coaxing sweetness. "You must Bleep
again If you would soon be well."
And so he drank and slept again,
and again awoke to marvel at the
graces of his lovely nurse.
He asked no (questions. As in a
dream, he fancied that some siren had
given him to drink of the lotus-oater's
oup, and that he would bo content to
lie there In supino hopelessness for
ever. But thesecond day, when ho awoke,
and he felt hiB strength coming back
anew, hiB fantasies vanished.
"I must request my ministering
angel to send mo homo,"' he thought.
lie looked about tho little chamber;
but she was not there.
But through tho open door ko
caught a flutter of white garments
and a shimmer of dead-gold hair.
"Dr. Willettes tells me that only
your gentle nursing has saved his
life,"
ing.
a man's low whisper was- Bay
"My dear little wife, what a
treasure you are."
Then followed a brief murmured
oolloquy, unconsciously telling .the
listener that grave difficulties of some
kind bad beset thoir woddod lovo.
"They are troubled for want" of
money," he thought, "and I have,
been a burden to them ; but their bur
den shall prove a bag of gold.''
. Thon he called faintly.
His lovely nurse camo quickly to
him, her lovely cheeks flushed like
the sunrise on snow.
"I havo heard that you saved my
life," she said.
"And what more ?" sho asked, con
fusedly. "Thatyou ore in Borne sort of troub
le," ho" smiled. "Will you let mo
help you? It is my duty, and it Is
your right to ask what you will. Any
thing that you demand is your? "
"Anything?" eho said, her sweet
face whitening and anxious.
"Yes," ho answered, I am quite
rloh enough to give you anything that
you may ask."
"It Is not of money I am epeak
Ing," she responded, proudly, but
with that eort of pride that seems
sacrificing, something of itself; "I
thiukyou have some influence with
ono who is making us my husband
and mo very unhstppy. Could yoa
persuade one, do you think, that It is
best to let truo love have its way, and
that I would not make an unworthy
wife?"
Two largo, bright tears lay upon
tho soft oheoks, and her womanly
oyo&were full upon him.
"An unworthy wife! Why, my
-dear child, I should consider myself
a fortunate man if your husband
could bo my own son, If I had one.
Ah! what is this!"
As he spoke, Alborfc Guion, agita
ted add embarrassed, advanced to the
bedside, and drew tho pretty pleader
within his strong arms. -
"Thon you will not allow mother
to be too unkind to us, Uncle Regi
nald ?"
"Whloh do you care most for, her
affection or your birthright?" he ask
ed, sternly.
"I care for both, uncle," was thenn
ewer; "but for Susie moro than all."
There wn9 a long sileuco then.
Reginald. Douglas was battling with
his pride and tho olden tenderness
that still made his memories so bitter,
as woll as with the humorous Eonse of
his position.
"We shall see," he said at last;
"send for your mother, and lot me
think alone."
AlbertGuion led his young wife out
of the room, and fop a long time the
proud man lay thinking of the old
dear time, when one sweet face had
been more precious to him than favor
or fortune, and of the agony and mad
ness that had sickoned him when he
had lost the one love of his life.
"After all it Is not stone, but flame
under the ashes of my heart," he
mused; but his faco was set aud hard,
and hla stony eyes were stern.
So thought the tender, graceful wo
man, who fluttered and trembled as
she came noiselessly Into the chamber
with whito-aatin-Bh'od feet.
"Pardon me," ehe said, and her
voice had the ring of silver bells. : I
was looking for uiy niece. I waa not
aware that-?"
Then she Btopped, and a blush flash
ed over tho un faded beauty of her
countenance.
"Agnes!" cried the man, who had
bnoe been her lover.
"This is a strange mooting, Regi
nald," she answered, struggling with
her gladncsB. "I only came home an
hour ago, and had no thought of see
ing you here. Where Is Susie ?"
It was in vain to make such a meet
ing ono of commonplace surprise and
explanation.
She had never been false to him ex
cept In Seeming him untrue, and ho,
in his softened mood, spoke to her as
a lover .Bpeaks to the one woman of
hlalfe-Jpng worship.

drawing her closely to him ; "you.are
mine by the right of discovery and
possession, and I shall hold you in
my arms until you promise to bo my
wife before the roses are gone."
Perhaps it was the ohangeless love
he saw in her boautiful, veiled eyes
that made him at once so gallant and
humorquB and bold.-
But he gained the promise that was
scarcely' glvpn before Mrs. Guion en

Stingy Meu.
"Dob Iugorsoll says : T despise a
stingy-man. I don't see how it is pos
sible for a man to die worth fifty mill
Ions of dollars, or ten millions of dol
lars, In a city full of want, when he
meets ulmost every day the withered
hand of beggary and tho white lips of
famine. How a man can withstand
all that, and hold in the clutch of his
hand twenty or thirty millions of dol
lars, Is past my comprehension. I do
not see how ho could do It. I Bhould
not think bo could do It any more
than he could koop u pile of lumber
when hundreds and thousands were
drowning in the sea. Do you know I
have known men who would trust
their wives with their hearts and
their honor, but not with their pocket-booksnot
with a dollar. When I
seo a man of that kind I always think
ho knowB which is the most valuable.
Think of making your wife a beggar!
Think of her having to ask you every
day for a dollar or two dollars, or to
humbly bog for fifty cents! "What
did you do with that dollar I gavo
you ?" Think of having a wife that
Is afraid of you ! What kind of ohil
dren do you oxpeot to havo with a
beggar and a coward for their mother ?
Oh, I tell you, ifyou have got but n
dollar in tho world, and you have got
to spend it, spend it liko a king ;
spend it as though It were a dry loaf,
and you the owner of unbound for
ests. That's tho way to Bpend It. I
had rather be n beggar and spend my
last dollar like a king, than to bo a
king and spend my money liko a beg

the best you can for your family try

When you used to go courting, how

A LUOKY SOVEEEIGN.
They made a strikingly contrasting
ploture standing in tho warm Juno
twilight, and the fragrant odor of the
roses and the budding grape vines
lingered around them as if the tender
scents were fitting tributes to them.
Two fair young girls, tho samo age
to an hour, and unlike as sisters
could be, and each a porfeot type of
her own stylo of loveliness both of
them peeresses in their royal dower of
boauty.
Rose Btood leaning against tho rail

that could melt from tho cool, bril
liant gray they now looked Into suoh
liquid darkness when,- oocaslou re
quired splendid, calm, cool eyes
were gleaming away out Into the
gathering dusk that was falling in a
purple-gray veil of tissue over wood

She turned her face toward her
companion. Heroyes suddenly call
ed In their wandering, listless glances,
and showing a half-vexed, half-amused
expression.
Bell, how muoh longer aro wo go

longer do you want to stop? I am
siirp T ehall die of ennui IX I have

Oh, don't think of going baolc to
town yet, Rose. I wish we might
never have to go.
Novergoback? Why, Boll, la It
possible you are so- Infatuated with
tho country to aotually wish that?
Child, for three months It Is all very

earnings exhausting Itself daily I
tellyou, Bell, I profor our own auit of
rooms at homo, and my musio schol

chance of occasional enjoyments.'
I dare say you are right, dear. But
I do love tho country.'
So would I If, forlnstanoe, I lived
In the mansion over yonder Fornloy
Court, you know whero tho stately
house keeper showod us through, and
dfsoanted on tho many qualities and
vast wealth of its owner. I forgot
tn toll vnu. Boll, that there will bo
a grand reception given a week after
he gets back, and he is expeotod hour
ly.' Bell lifted her eyes in a graooful lit
tle gesture of surprise.
'A reception? Oh, Roso! and of
course there'll bo a danco. Oh, dear,
how I'd like to go!'
'Of courso you'd like to go. But do
you think for a moment that the aris
tocratic families around hero would
condescend to associate with us?'
Bell's faoo grew stern.
Why not? . Weare ladles born and
bred, If we do work for a living.'
You foolish child. I oan toll you
our faces aud our handsome dresses
if wo had them would take us where
our family name would not. And I
can toll you something tdsff, Boll,
The little gato at the roadside opeu-
oned at that instant, and the sound of
lagging footsteps coining toward the
house interrupted Rose's remark, and
then a dusty, travol-stolued man
paused at tho foot of the steps, and
touched hla dingy hat-rim to the
girls.
He was evidently ono of tho many
respeotablo, discouraged, disheartened
men ono so often sees tramping thro1
the country in search of work.
Ro9e drew herself up.
Go away. We havo nothing for
you.- We don't encourage tramps
here.'
He touohed his hat 'the rim was
deoidedly battered and dusty:
I beg your oardon. ladles: but if
you will glvo me a '
Rose swept across the floor angrily.
'Will you march off, or will I havo
tho dog sot ou .you? Bell, go tell
Jano to unfasten Rover.'
The man turned away slowly, as If
to move with an effort, and Bell
sprung up in an impulse of remon
strative protest.
'Rose, how can you bo so. heartless.
He is as pale as death, and only see
how he drags himself along ! You
might have let him set down a min
ute,, and at least havo given him a
kind word and a piece of bread and
butter.'
A contemptuous laugh pealed from
Rose's red lips.
'Tired and ill! Drunk aud a thief,
you'd better say ! A pieoe of bread
and butter I Absurd, Bell !'
Bell raised her finger warningly.
Oh, Roso, don't; he'll hear you.'
Ro3e raised her voice a key higher.
Let him bear, then ! Perhaps you
had better sit and watoh that he does
notfalnt and fall.'
Sho Bwepthaughtily Into the house,
leaving Bell with her oheeks flushing
and a compassion born of tho sweet
womanly sympathy glowing. In her
deep blue eyee as she watohrd the
man walk slowly, and paiafully along,
and Anally halt at the gate, as If In
utter discouragement at tho long
stretch of road between him and the
next house, where ho might find
what Rose had rudely denied tho
magnificent country seat of Lionel
Granville, from whoso doors no beg
gar waa over turned away hungry.
Bell saw him, and her quick in
stincts told her what sho Imagined
his manner meant.
Quiok as a bird, Eho dashod up
stairs to her roomand enatohed her
purtemonnale from tho bureau draw
er, and was down again with sover
eign In her hand, as Bhe ran swiftly
after him, still leaning ogalnBt tho
gato-post, and still looking with that
same strange expression on his pale
face at tho towers of Fernley Court.
Hero, please. It Isn't much, but
it's all I have to spare. Take it
please.'
Ho looked surprlsedly at hor, and
then at the money.
You aro very kind, but you aro
mistaken. I only want a
Bell thrust the money in his hand.
'Novermind, plcaso. Ithlnlylcau
see you aro proud ; but please tako It.
There!'
He seemed amused at her oagerness,
but made no more ado about accept
ing the gift and pocketing it, aa he
stood and watcbod her slim, figure
Hitting away likoa spirit in tho dust.
The next day Roso came into Bell's
room, radiant aa Bho only permitted
herself to bo under rare circumstances
her gray eyes flashing, and hor rod
lips parted in a smile of triumphant
delight.
Bell, seo this! Now what do you
say ?'
She laid a squaramonogram envel
ope In the girl's lap, addressed to tho
Misses Moltons, and bearing Inside
invitations tn tho reception at Fern
Icy Court for a fortnight from that
night.
Rose watched the sweot girl's face
glow under tho surprise, thon Baw,
to her amazement, the flush of dolight
fade..
'Woll.IBell, of ooniso we'll go. I'll
take some money I can snaro and get
Borne Buis.se, and wear natural flowers
with it ; and I know you have a sov
ereign laid away for an emergency.
You can get a good many tilings with
It gloves aud aashes, you know and
who knows but what Lionel Granville
may be captivated.
Bell laid the euvolopo Boftly down.
'I can't go, dear, uules"3 I woar my
old white muslin, which will look
wretched bes!do-your newsulsse. I'vo
spent my money.'
RoBe frowned. .
Spent your money ? Why I Baw
it ye8terdoyimornlng in your drawer.
I uotioed that the odge of tho sover
eign was a littlo chIppodr and remem
ber wondering if It was good or not.
Snont vour money! Bell, what do
yoa mean ?'
Bell met tho vexed eyes as calmly
as she oould. She was just a littlo in
awo of this magn ificent Bister of hers.
'I guvo it to that poor man last
night, Rose. I was so sorry. I am
sure ho wasn't the sort of man to talk
to as you did. I know he desorvod
the money.'
Roso sat down and folded her hands
In ioy wrath.
Give a sovereign to a tramp a beg
gar! Well, if it doesn't pass.my com
prehension !'
Roso swept out of tho room Bho
was liko a duchess in her movements
and poor Bell went on with her. sow
lug, wondering if her old white mus
lin wouldn'tlook pretty well if It was
nicely gotten up, thinkiug that there
wa9 a sea-green silk sash Bomewhero
Bhe had never worn ; and a pair of
white kids ut home that Rose could go
for when sho went to buy her suisse.
So, while her busy, deft fingers sewed,
through tho Bumtncr days on Robo's
airy dress, little Bell decided she
would go, after all, and wear her fresh
white dress, and tea-roses In her gold
en tresses, and the sea-green sash
knotted on her skirt a simple, ex
quisite toilet, that mado- a very Un
dino of her, that made people turn
their heads for more than a second or
third look whon sho and Rose ontered
the magnificent ball room.
It waa pcrfeotly delightful overy
way. Mr. Granville possessed nono
but highbred, intelligent friends, and
tho Misses Melton wore treated ac
cordingly.
The musio was heavenly, and from
hor Beat where sho sat likoa queen in
state, Roso watch the handsome host,
who had bowed low over her hand
when ho was introduced watohed
him as, in his quiet, self-posessed
manner, as be went among his
guests.
Her heart was beating; would be,
oh ! would he ask her for tho first
dance, or would he go among the
groups of stylish ladies from the city,
any of whom would be so honored by
his attention ?
And then Roae saw Mr. Granville
go straight aoross the room, right by
her, and bow slowly to Boll as he
said a few words and offered his arm.
Boll ! Bell to. load the grand quad
rille! Bell on Lionel Granville's
arm, tho observed of nil observers
as fair as a sea nymph, and eo graoo-
30 Bwoetly unconscious of her rudiuut
beauty '
Roae sat glpqmlly through thq. first
quudrllle, and watohed Lionel's pale,
handsome faoeashe bent It over Bell's
golden curls, his ardent, admiring
eyes, that looked bo eagerly Into tho
sweet girlish face, that others besides
Rose noted his attention.
Then the dance over, Lionel gave
Bell his arm.
That has beenja delightful quad
rille, Miss Melton. By tho woy, did
you know I had something that be
longs toyou?'
Thoy had reached Rose's ohair by.
this time, and Bell turned laughing
ly to him.
'Something of mine ! I do no! seo
how that can bo, Mr. Granville. Do
you, Rose?'
Roso favored him with hor most
fubiuating btnilo.
Indeed I do no, seeing that this la
tho first time we oversaw Mr. Gran- '
villo.'
Ho aniUed In Bell's, eyes.
'I'll leave you to fathom tho myste
ry. Don't forgot tho first waltz fo
mo, Miss Bell.'
Ho went .away, so handsome, bo
courtly, and Bell's foolish little heart
was throbbing with new, vague de
light, while Rose was almost suffo
cating with envy and tho signal tri
umph of her sister. Mr. Granville
came promptly for hla waltz.
He drew her hand through hla al
most authorltlvely.
MIbs Bell It Bocms I havo. al,waya
known you, yet you say you never
auw me befuro. Suppose wo tako a
walk through tho conservatory in
stead of having this waltz?'
Into the fragrant semi-dusk they
went, whero fountains tinkled and.
rare flowers bloomed, aud tho musio
camo in veiled sweetness and rloh-.
ness.
'I want you to be Buro.1 am rights
MIso Bell, when I say I have some
thing of yours. Look at me closely.
Have you never seen mo beforo?
He bout his faoo near hers. It waa
gravely smiling, and bo tendor- and
good, and Bell looked timidly at tho
smiling yet stern oyos.
I am euro I never Baw you bofoio
Mr. Granville.'
Ho drew from his vest pocket a sov
ereign the very ono, with a tiny bit ;
ohlpped off it, thut Bell had given
the tramp.
Dou't you understand, dear child ?
I had taken a freak into my bead,
that I would walk from town hero,
aud It was a grand walk, although it
took three days, and rulnod my
olothes. I stopped at your little cot-,
tago to beg a. glass of wator. Yoq
know the rest.'
Bell's face was a marvel at that mo
ment, 'In your kindness and goodness
you gavo it to mo, Miss Bell, and the
littlo act gavo mo an insight Into
your heart that a year of ordinary In
tercourse would. never do. I shalL
keep it until you buy It back. I havo
set a prioe on it, and If over you are
ready to glvo It you can havo It.'
He put the money reverently away
In his breast pooket, and took hor out
among the crowd again, a strangely
happy girl.
Aud before tho summor roseB had
faded, Boll paid the prico for the chip
ped sovereign her own heart that
Lionel Granvlllo had pleaded for, bo.
eagerly.
She is tho mistress, of tholr. grand
house now, and Roso visits her once
a year, not oftener, because Bell's
husband don't oare much for hor.
But tho Invalid mother has a life
long homo amid the luxuries of Fern
loy Court, und Boll is happier than
the birds that sing in the trees of tho
big old park.
