THE MAX THAT ANNIE LOYED.
She was crocheting something out of
soft scarlet and white "wool. Milton
Etheredge sat watching her, pretending
to read the Journal at the same time.
She was looking very charming in her
bull muslin dns?, with pink ribbon at
the throat aud loopiDg back her brown
hair.
Prate as we may of the unimportance
of dress, it more or less influences the
destiny of us all. Venus herself would
be ugly in a tattered gown, and only
imagine Apollo in a swallow tailed coat
with bright buttons. Annie Huntly
knew the value of dress and, what is
more, the knew how to attire herself in
just the manner most becoming to her.
She was not m much prettier than doz
ens of other young ladies, but everything
about her was iu harmony, and people
had fallen into the habit of calling her
beautiful. She had a clear, wild rose
complexion tolerably regular features
soft brown eye?, and blown hair that
was struggling continually to break into
curls and ring'ets B' natural to It.
Miitoii Eel trede grave, silent, wi;e
1-twyer woiideied within himself how
long he had luveJ this little Annie. He
cou'd not remember. S'z years ago she
had come to them --the dyin request of
M:t. Ethendge's best valued friend.
The good lady had been a mother to her
ever since, and Milton had, played the
part of a kind elder brother. Annie was
eighteen when she came to Grayhcad
she was now twenty-five. Yes, he was
sure he had loved her for six years. She
had made everything so different. Her
pretty ways of arranging curtains, and
books,and knick knacks, had brightened
up the stately old house wonderfully.
Milton thought it was strange how he
and his lady mother had ever managed
to live without her.
So he sat and looked at her as she
made the shining steel flash iu and
out the bright fleecy wool. Not that he
thought of ever being anything more to
her than he was now. Ihs love was
quiet yet it had not reached that
passionate stage when it will not be
subdued by any obstacles. He was old
thirty at least and it would be
childish for him to hope she would ever
link her you.ig fresh life with that ot a
man whose hair was already getting
gray on the temples.
But there was something more to des
troy the hope, if he had dared to in
dulge it. At one time, perhaps, he had
indulged it,but certainly.not now. Annie
Huntly had had her life romance as
well ar other women. It had been
sweet at first painfully bitter at last.
It had made her smile graver her
color mure fleeting her manner at
times subdued and sad so Etheredge
thought.
Annie and Leigh Richardson had mei
under somewhat romantic circumstances.
He. had saved her from drowning at
Cape Mav, when she had ventured be
yond her depth; and, after her removal
to Graymoad, he had followed her there
and located himself in the practice of
his profession the law. He had been
a constant visitor for two years. People
began to speak ot them as belonging to
each other, and Mrs. Etheredge had,
with a woman's peculiar delight, oegun
to anticipate the wedding supper and
the bridal trousseau. Etheredge had
looked on with a dull pain at his heart,
for which he felt half angry with him
self. Surely he ought, to rejoice that
Annie would be so happy, lor Richard
son was every way estimable,, and was
rising rapidly in his profession.
Suddenly, however, about two years
before the opening of our story, his vis
its ceased, and he began a vio lent flirta
tion with Nellie Seymour, the belle of
the village. Annie did not die on ac
count of it she did tot even mope, as
girls generally do when crossed in love.
Her manner was a little more subdued,
her laugh less frequently, but she wa3
not heart broken. She put aside the
sympathy Mrs. Etheredge would have
offered her, quietly, and gave her con
fidence to no one. Sometimes she met
Richardson, but they exchanged no words
not even the ordinary ceremonious
greetings of mere acquaintances; they
were as completely separated a if an
ocean rolled between them.
This uight, as Etheredge sit watching
Annie, and thinking of all this, he no
ticed, with a thrill of pain, that she was
a little paler, a little more quiet than
usual. He remembered that she had
met Richardson at the picture gallery
that day.
Some magnetic influence in the gaze
of Etheredge made Annie look up. She
flushed under the serene luster ot those
dark gray eyes, and her fingers forgot
their cunning, and dropped the ball of
zephyr she was unwinding. It rolled
toward the fire there was a genuine old
ashioncd wood fire upon the hearth
and in stooping to recover it, her light
sleeve dipped into the blaze. The flames
leaped up Jlilton sprang forward,
caught her in his arms, and crushed out
the fire.
She was fiightcned, weak and dizzy
with remembering what she had escaped,
and for a moment she stood circled on
his arm, her head on his shoulder, her
soft hair resting against his cheek. The
touch thrilled him with startling power.
He was hardly himself. All the love he
had so long kept under foot rose up like
an unbound tyrant. He pressed his
lips passionately to hers he would have
told her then how dear she ws to him,
but something seemed to hold him back.
He would wait a little until the excite
ment of her recent peril would be over
would wait, and think it over calmly.
All that night he sat up, thinking of his
course. He loved her with all his soul;
he should never care for another wo
man. But he was not quite sure of the
condition of her heart. What if she had
still a lingering tenderness for Richard
son? ne feared she might Jiave. He
had seen her kiss a picture which he felt
morally sure was his. Would he like
his wife to kiss Leigh Richardson's pic
ture? Would he like to think she had
ever kissed it? Then he remembered
how she blushed sometimes when he
looked at her, and took courage. It
might be that the old dream could be
forgotten in the new. At any rate he
would know before he slept, he said,
with sudden resolution, and after break
fast he went down town for a walk. He
knew a few of the fellows belonging to
the Franklin Club, and for the want of
something better to do, he sauntered
into their room.
There were only two or three present,
smoking their cigars and idling over the
papers. Their business hours had not
commenced yet. As he entered he
caught the name of Annie Huntley.
Fred. Orme, a reckless, young due
devil, was telling a story. E heredge
reddened on hearing her nerue from
Orme's iips, and was about striding for
ward and calling him to tccount lor it,
when Orme's next words arrested him
and forced him to listen.
'You see Leigh Richardson was dead
in love with her. Never saw a fellow
any harder. Well, she is a charming
girl dresses exquisitlely. Never saw a
better fitting glove and boot than she
gets on. Leigh is smart, but I never
liked him since he won that silver cup
at the boat race. I meant to have had
that myself. Too confounded bad I didn't
get it."
"So it was," drawled Ed. Harrison;
"how you sweat, didn't you Fred?"
"It was hotter than the tropics, and
Leigh is one of the cool blooded ones.
I said that I meant to be even with him,
and I have kept my word. Don't mind
telling you the story, fellows, since it is
such an old affair. Pass that lemonade,
Etheredge you'll be interested in it,
because I've heard it said that you're
rather sweet in that quarter. Matters
were going on swimmingly, two years
ago, between Leigh and Annie. They'd
have been married before now, if nobody
had .interfered. But Dennis and I you
know Dennib? tiptop fellow 1 got up a
little plan between us, and it worked
splendidly. Didn't we raise the deuce?
I gained possession of some of Leigh's
handwriting, and practiced writing like
it. I am an expert at that business, I
flatter myself; and in a few days I could
fairly beat Richardson with his own
weapons. So I wrote a letter to an
imaginary chum of his giving a des
cription of Miss Annie, calling ber a
soft little thing, telling him how sha
adored the subscriber, and how the sub
scriber cared nothing at all for her, but
was enjoying a glorious flirtation. Of
ourse the subscriber was Leigh Richard
son. This note, which was a most in
sulting one to any wonan, we contrived
to have dropped where Miss Annie
would find it, and the result was even
more jolly than I bad anticipated. She
mittcned Richardson the next day, and
refused to listen to any explanation he
could make, Ha! ha! a good joke
wasn't it? Paid him for getting that
cup. Always intended to pay him off
some way. He felt dreadfully about it I
My sister Lucy boarded him at the time,
and there was no sleep in the house for
his tramping up and down his chamber
all night. A little more lemonade, Ed.,
and I don't care if there is a drop ot
champygnu in it. It's chilly this morn
ing." Etheredge waited to hear no more. In
his present frame of mind he felt as if
he could not bear It. He went home
and shut himself up in his chamber.
After all, Richardson had been true.
How bitterly he had been wronged!
Annie would repent, and love him more
than ever, it she knew the injustice she
had done him. That wns a woman's
nature. She atones for wrong by giving
love. And what if an eclairciuemtnt
should be brought about? Etheredge
felt faint and sick. The future shut
down dark and blank. Ard only an
hour before lie had dared indulge such
glowing visions. He saw his duty
clearly enough, but it is not always easy
to do one's duty. The was a little
struggle betweon his heart and his con
science. A hundred times the tempta
tion beset him to keep his knowledge to
himself, and win Annie for his own
She would never know that Richardson
was blameless, and his great love might
make her so happy! At last, he knelt
down and prayed over it. He always
prayed over those things which were
too hard for him. After that, be rose
and sat down by the window felt the
west wind on his forehead saw -the
pale wintry sunshine gild the lorg
rows of buildings opposite. For him
tnerc was.no more hesitation. If hccould
make Annie happy, what matter to him
how it was accomplished? He wen
down to the sitting, room about sunset.
He knew he should find Annie there.
Mrs. Etheredge was away at a society
meeting.
Annie was sewing by a shaded lamp.
She did not like the glare of the gas.
There was a rich color on her cheek
over which the loose hair drooped low.
Milton Etheredga's heart leaped at sight
of her, but he stilled it down ard took a
seat beside her.
"Annie," he said, "I am an old friend,
and I think you will not be offended if
I ask you a few questions. Not because
I am curious, but because I desire your
good more than any earthly thing."
She looked up in wonderment, noticing
the strange unsteadiness of his voice
and the tremor ot the hsnd laid on hers.
"Offended with yon, Mr. Etheredge!"
she said reproackf oily; "never that. Go
on I am listening."
"Annie, you were once engaged to
Leigh Richardson?"
ner head drooped lower; the crimson
came and went in her cheeks.
"I was," sue said, in a low voice.
"You loved him and he loved you
was it not so, my child?"
"We called it love."
"And you thought him false?"
"As Satan himself!"
"What if you knew that he was not
false that h was true to you always
that the contemptible letter which you
read, purporting to have been written
by him, was a vile forgery what then?"
She was looking at him in mute sur
prise. She drew a long breath.
"Was it a forgery ?"
"It was. I have just heard the history
of it. Au ill natured acquaintance of
Richardson's, to gratify a petty revenge,
wrote the letter and dropped it where
jou would be sure to find it. Leigh
Richardson was real and true."
She sit very still btfoic him, not a
line ot her face changing. He waited
for he-to speak, but she did aot seem
disposed to do so.
"Auuie, my dear child, shall I speak
to Mr. Richardson about this mistake ?'
"If you please. I would like him to
know that he is clear in my eyes. I
think he would be glad to know it. Tell
him just how it was, and ask him to for
give me if I was harsh with him."
"Is that all?"
"That is all."
"Annie I"
"Mr. Etheredge!"
"Pardon me for pursuing the subject,
but, if you still care

yourself."
"But I do not

"Is it because you love another."
"Yes," she said, quietly, "it is because

"And that othei f"
She rose abruptly, and flung off the
detaining hand he laid on her arm.
"You have no right to ask me that!"
she said hoarsely. "Let me go ! You
torture me !"
"Torture you, Annie, I?" What pos
sessed him he did not know perhaps,
something her eyes said to him made him
bold. He put his arm around her and
drew her to bis side.
"Annie, if ycu love another, I must
give you to him. Your happiness shall
be secured, though mine be shipwrecked.
I did not mean to tell you, darling; but
I love you so, it almost kills me to think:
of losing you. O, Annie ! my little, lost
Annie!"
Her face grew rosy as the morning.
She put her arm around his neck.
"Not lost, but found," she said, softly-
"Annie," he cried, breathlessly, "do
not deceive me ! What of the picture I
saw you kissing?"
She laughed a little, and crimson with
confusion drew the locket from her bos
om, and held it up to him. He saw his
own face.
"Forgive me, Milton. I got it of the
artist, and have worn it these two years.

The Next (.ermnji War.
The other day a simple minded Ger
mau called on agrocer to pay a bill, giv
ing him a f 10 note. The grocer exam
ined it closely, and said? "Hullo, where
did you get this note?" "Vot is de rea
sons mit dis note?" replied the honest
Teuton; "don't she vash good, hein!"
"Good?" answered the grocer; "why,
you're a lucky man that note is worth
$10.50" "Ish dot so? Why for?" "You
see the signature over here, don't you?"
"Dose things like a corkscrew mit de
worms? Yah." "Well, that's Spinner's
signature." "Veil." "Well, Mr. New
is now Treasurer of the United States."
"You don't tole me so. Veil." "Well,
and notes signed by Spinner are getting
scarce, and people pay five per cent,
more for them than for the new issue."
"By shiminy, ish dot so?" "Yes. Lem
me see your bills. Why, every one of
them is h Spinner! Man alive, your
fortune is made." In pursuance of the
grocer's advice, Mr. Schneider called at
the Sub-Treasury, Saturday afternoon, to
get the premium on his bills. What
success he had it is impossible to state,
but he was seen later in the evening
lurking round the street by which the
groc:r must go home, and on being ac
costed by an acquaintance the following
conversation took place: "Dei pec blesa
