TO TURNED ON A HEEL-TURNER
BY FRANK R. STOCrON

served.
In relating the following story , the rao-
tlvo of which is the true love I felt for
my sweetheart Belle , I shall , for the
most part , .omit the lovo. This mutual
affection had grown , warmed by the most
generous sun , and nourished by the most
vivifying showers under which trno love
over throve , Into an engagement between
Belle and myself. But thbro it stopped ;
and , as far as wo could ECO , there was no
probability that the seasons of love would
proceed in the ueuil order. The spring
of our affection had passed , and wo were
enjoying the early glories of summer , but
now our earth had appeared to pause in
its orbit and to rcfuso to incline its axis
in the conventional manner which should
Induce the rlponod fullness of the yoir ,
It was Impossible for us to fix a date for
our marriage , and yet , upon first sight
there would scorn to bo no reason why
wo should not marry whenever wo choose.
I was the physician of the village in which
wo lived , and my practice , although
not largo and not very romnnor
alive , would , I was qulto sure , support
two as well as ono ; and everybody knows
that a young doctor ought to bo married
If ho wishes to succeed. Belle was or
orphan , and there was no ono who conic
legally prevent her from becoming my
wife whenever she saw fit to do so. But
although circumstances seemed favorable
in both our cases , there was au obstacle
in the way , and that obstacle was Bollo's
brother Horace.
Horace was a good follow , a klnc
brother to Belle , a genial companion tome
mo , and talented in many ways rather
too many , in fact. Ho and his sister hac
a small income on which they managei
to live ; but , although lie was at least 30
Horace had no regular business , Ho hac
studied law for a tlmo , had taught schno
for a time , and for another time had hac
something to do with civil engineering.
Ho had some very queer notions , ant
ono of theno was that he would not con
sent to live with us after wo were tncr-
ried. A. woman , ho said , conld not a
the same tlmo do her whole duty to her
husband and a brother ; and ho made thi
point , to which in my own mind I coul <
but agree , that bo would bo a bar to on
domestic harmony. On the other hant
Belle positively refused to leave ho
brother until ho was settled in business
At present ho was undecidol , troubled
and anxious , and , without her , then
waa no knowing what should bocoma of
him. When Horace would bo fairly
started in life , then might love's seasons
recommence their courae ; then might our
earth's axis gently tip ; then might full
summer como , and marriage.
At the time my story opens wo were all
in a state of worried excitement. Horace
had long been of the opinion that to own
and edit a newspaper would suit him bet
ter than anything else in tie world.
What ho wanted was a country newspa
per , with a barely supporting subscription
and advertising patronage , and which
might , therefore , bo held at a price which
should como within his means. This
paper ho so proposed to improve , both by
his general management and lib pen , that
it would bo taken all ever the country ,
and perhaps have an agency in London
and other foreign places. Ho would
make its contents of such general interest
that it would bo read as eagerly in Texas
or Australia as in the county in which it
waa printed. To these who know Horace
\\ell this boomed the most promising of
his schemes for lifo work. Ho had a very
peculiar and lively wit , could make a good
anecdote bcttsr by telling it , never forgot
anything worth remembering , took n
lively interest in current events , quicklj
perceiving their humorous sides , if thoj
happened to have any , nnd often giving
them one if they lintl not. Wo all fell
that if Horace owned a paper ho wouli
put his whole wml into it , and then Iu
would succeed. Ho c-uild not expect t <
bo able to start one ; but to buy a journa
already established is often within tin
if ad i of persons of moderate means.
The cause of our present , nervous anxi
cty was the fact that Horaia had recent
ly hoard that in an adj Dining count ]
there was a weekly newspaper for ash
which would suit him exactly. The edl
tor and proprietor , who wai a clergyman
had long been desirous of giving up jour
nalism and taking chergo of a churchanc
h\d only been prevented by the dlflicultj
of disposing of his paper. An opportunl
ty to make the change in his lifo tiiat hi
wished had just occurred t ) him. /
country church , not far frooj tbo towi
where ho lived , had boon for some year ,
under the char go of a young rainUtor
ffhoie health had became very mucl
broken. Ho had boon counselled to soul
n ollmato more suitable to his hoa tb , bn
had boon unable to do so for want o
racani. Ho not only needed money t
travel , but ho bad debts which he woul
not leave unpaid. Hfs church owed hie
considerable arrearages of salary , ruakln
a sum quite suflUlont for his pnrposet
but which it wag nt present unable t
pay. The cause of the accumulation :
pastoral debt wai rithor pou < iir. *
widow Udy had died , and left a legacy t
the church , which its oflioors hid dotei
mined to appropriate to much needed re
pairs of the edifice , lint there had boa
a delay In the payment of the legacy , th
executors of the will having not yet mad
cer a'n sales , upon which this paymet
depended. The young ministerwho ras
very zealous for the good of his pariel
had therefore consented that the mono
which would otherwise bavo been paid *
him should bo used for the repairs , whl !
ho would wait for the payment of the leg '
acy. This would have all been very wt
but for tha failure of his health , Wintc
was coming on , and ho ought it go aws
as icon as possible ; he could not d
BO without mon y , and his congregatlo
was poor.
It was now well known to the edit *
of tha newspaper , bofore-mentiontd tbs
the church would be ready to accept hli
M Its pastor as soon s iho money conld
bo raised to enable the present Incumbent
to leave. If he could sell his newspaper
ho would bo perfectly willing to advance
this money , and wait for payment until
the legacy should bo received by the
church. The young minister was no lees
anxious to go south than was the editor
to secure hia church. If the money
should bo obtained from some other
quarter , the present Incumbent would
depart , and the editor would thus lese
his opportunity , for ho could not afford
to glvo np his paper until ho had found a
purchosor , ana the vacant pulpit would
suon bo filled by some ono olso. In this
case , too , Horace would lese his great
chance of settling in life ; and Belle and
I could not marry. If this momentous
train of events should happen to start at
the wrong end all would bo woo for us.
If It should start at the other end that
is our end all would bo joy.
So far as wo could see , there was only
ono way of starting It properly. Among
the various bents of Horace's mind was
ono for mechanics , and ho had made an
invention which seemed to possess real
merit. This was a "heel-turner , " or
machine for turning the heels of stock
ings. I never understood its mechanism ,
not being apt at such things , and all I
know about it is that It was intended to
save a great deal of trouble to knitters
who are not proficient in "turning the
heol" of socks and ttockipgs.
The knitter knit down to the heel ,
then she put her work into the machine ,
set It in motion , and when the heel was
turned , took It out and wont on with her
knitting. If Horace could dlsposo of
this valnablo invention , even at the low
est price at which ho would bo willing to
sell it , ho conld buy the country newspa
per ; the editor conld lend the money to
the church , who would pay oil the inva
lid prcacQor aud let him go south , with
the ex-odl or M his successor ; and Horace
ace being settled , the best of all things
could happen to Belle and myself.
As might well ba supposed , Horace ,
who waa a nervous nun , was in a fever oi
oxcttomont in regard to this affair. Ho
now thought of nothing but the sale ol
his heel-turner. If ho could dispose oi
It , even for enough to make the first cash
payment demanded by the editor , ho
could enter into possession , and had no
doubt of his ability to make the smal !
periodlo payments which would complete
the purcbaio. If ho could not sell his
invention nothing conld bo dono. Bor
rowing was out of iho question oven if hi
conld have found auyono who would lorn
him the money , for Horace wn not a
borrowing man.
I was almost as much excited ai
Horace , for I considered the case moro
important to me than to him. If In anj
way I could have raised the money . '
would not have hesitated a moment to buy
the heel-turner , oven if I should do
nothing with it bnt stow it way in a cor
nor. It would have been cheap at auy
price. But , although the income from
my practice was sufficient for my ordi
nary needs , it would bo utterly impossi
bio to raise a sum large unough to bu ;
the right to the heel-turner , and to so
in motion that machinery which shonlc
turn the heel , so to speak , of my exist
ence.
Horace bad made every effort possible
to find a purchaser , and wo all began to
bo in despair. I was very much do
prossad , for if this affair should fal
through Horace would be moro unset
tled than ever , aud Belle might make up
her mind to cling to him through life , as
many a girl gives up true love and a
happy home to twlno herself in dutiful
spirals about some unfortunate relative
whoso lagged trunk and branches scorn
to need the protection of her sheltering
loaves. With my feelings very plainly
indicated on my countenance , I was
walking down the main street of
village when in front of the large
house belonging to our lawyer , I saw
John Broadly. John was a poor mm ,
and a very industrious ono , who was
held in high repute by everybody in the
place. This good follow had had his
troubles , but wo all hoped they were
aoon coming to an end. Ho was at pres
ent toiling day after day and week after
week in the grounds of the lawyer , earn
estly engaged in "working out a divorce ; "
that is to eay , ho was digging and plant
ing and doing anything else that might
bo required , until ho had in this way
paid the costs of a legal separation from
Ills wife When I first came to the vil
lage I found Mrs. Broadly a very pecu
liar invalid with a complication of dis-
oaseo , which not only taxed my abilities
but roused my ambitton. For nearly
two years I attended her dally , and
sometimes nightly , and supplied , besides ,
a good deal of costly medicine , and al
though poor , John was not able , by
moans of her' many other requirements
to pay mo a cent. I felt rewarded by my
Rroit success , for I entirely cured Mrs.
Broadly , and thereby gtoitly raised ray
reputation in tbo place. But , alasl it
might have boon better for John if hie
wife had never recovered. When she
got well aho made things so hot for hirr
and conducted herself generally In such t
way that everybody considered John jus
tided when bo dotormtnod to apply for i
diverse. This ho had obtained , nnd nov
bo was laboring hard , with spade anc
wheelbarrow , to pay for it.
"Woll , John , " said I , "how ore yoi )
getting on ? "
"Pretty well , doctor , " answered ho
coming down to the front fence , "in t
couple of weeks more I'll ba done hero anc
then I'm square with Mr. Forbes. It
aeoma a little quoorish that I should firs
pay him for getting rid of my wife , before
fore I pay yon for giving her back to mi
out of the very claws of death , for ii
illooked ! that way to everybody. Bui
1 when you'ro married and settled , doctor
and have grounds to be fixed up , and i
garden to bo made , I'll come and worl

had hard times , and have lost a good dea
of money by workln1 where I was novoi
paid , but unless my logs and arms glvi

to "I'm afraid I thill not want a garde

deal of m'sory. If it had not boon fo

A "Oh , you muitn't look It that way

endured her ai long a * I could , whlcl

ie to me , doctor , to think that I put he
way well aud Imrty. I never could tera1

you don't look happy. Has things bee
goln' wrong ? "
icyo
o John took an interest , 1 knew , in m
lie aiklrs , and BO I did not object to toll hlr
'Ptll lint I was worried because I cunld tot
tll ralso money enough to buy the heel
ter turner invention. He greatly wondere
tery why I ahould want to make such a nui
do chase as this , and his eager question >
brought out all the facts of tbo case. 'lie '
worthy man WM much amused and bun
trr out laughing ,
' , doctor , " he exclaimed , "tint
Im M good a story as I've heard thU man
a day. It beats the books. Bnt I'm
sorry for yon if yon'vo got nothing bettor
to depend on than buying that heel
turner. Even if you could raise the
mousy It would bo a bad speculation.
Thorn as can't turn heels will never
knit. "
As I walked away from John Broadly
I could not help thinking of the amuse
ment the recital of my difliculty had given
him. It was a good story ; no doubt of
it. As my mind dwelt upon the matter a
queer idea came to me. Suppose I wcro
to write this story , and by selling it raise
money enough to get us out of our
troubles ! There would bo something de
lightfully fitting about * that. To make
the story of our perplexities the euro of
the actual troubles would bo nn odd , but
glorious triumph. This idea now took
possession of my mind , and the moro I
thought about it the better I liked it.
Horace and Belle might object to have
this story told , but I would not only keep
my own counsel about it , I would send it
somewhere whore they would not see it ,
and thus nobody interested would ever
bo annoyed.
I had frequently written stories which
had been heard with apparent satisfaction
by my friends , but I had never published
anything , and know nothing in regard to
the monetary value of manuscripts such03
I proposed to write.
I determined to write the story. There
was nothing else that I could do , and if
the train of circumstances on which our
fortunes depended should not bo started
until my work was done , I myself might
do the starting , and I asked nothing bet
tor than that.
By day and by night , using every
minuta I could spare from my practice
and necessary sleep , I worked at my
story. After what saomod to mo a long
period of writing , rewriting , correction
and copying , the manuscript wai finished
and ready to bo sold. I will not recount
ray experiences In endeavoring to dis
pose of it to ono periodical after another.
In every case I opened my correspon
dence with an inquiry In regard to the
price I might expect in case of accept-
tanco , and the answers I received con
vinced mo that there waa no hope of my
selling the story to any periodical for
enough money to carry out ray inten
tions. Thia very much surprised as well
.15 depressed mo , bnt It so happened thai
I was suddenly obliged to make a busi
ness visit 10 a neighboring
city ; nnd hero I mot a geutlomar.
whoso business it was to
supply original stories and articles to a
combination or syndicate of newspapers
scattered all ever the country , and who
was thus enabled to pay author.1) a very
good price for their work. To this
gentleman I submitted my story and in a
few day * after my return homo 1 receivei
nn offer from him for it. The price Ipto-
posed was not as high aa I had hoped il
would bo , but I accepted it. It mighl
not bo enough to give the impetus to thai
movement of my affairs which I desired ,
but I would try what could bo done wi'l :
it.
As soon as my check arrived I had il
cashed and went to Horace to oiler to
buy his heel-turnor.
"I haven't enough to pay for it out am
out " I eaid ' 'but I
, , thought perhaps yet
would let mo have it and take this mucl
on account. "
Horace was naturally surprised at bptl
my ability and wi h to purchase his in
vention , bnt ho was aho very mud
pleased. "I would rather you shouli"
own it than any ono else , " lie cried. "I
you manage it properly it will make you
fortune. As for the money , of courso.i
does not represent anything like the value
of the invention , but I will sell it to yoi
for a smaller cash payment than I woulc
take from anybody ol o in the world. "
"Do you think this will bo enough t
enable you to buy the paper ? " I asked.
I have a little that I can add to it ,
said Horace , "and Mr. Henley is s
anxious to dispose of his .paper tliat I believe -
liovo ho will take this , and let the rest go
on installments. If I can get a chance to
carry out my journalistic plans I will give
the paper a boom tliat will enable mo to
pay cverytliing in less time than ho
will give me. I shall take the 10 o'clock
train and see him before ho goes to dinner
"
ner
There was something about the manner
of Horace which did tot exactly please
me. I had expected him to be wildly
grateful , bnt his manner seemed to imply
that , while ho was greatly delighted i
to got the money , he felt that ho had
conferred a great favor 011 mo by letting
mo have hU confounded machine for so
little cash. What ho was going to charge
mo for it in the future I did not know ,
nor did I car a. Ho might have it back
agaia whenever ho liked. If things
, worked well , ho had conferred the great
est favor upon mo , but not in the way ho
. supposed.
That afternoon I went to see Belle ,
whom I found in a state of pleasurable
nervousness. Knowing how much I had
the matter at heart , she had not boon
surprised at my balng able to ralso the
money , but she persisted in considering
< it in the light of a personal gift to Horace
ace from an all too generous man.
"What do you want with a heel-turn
er ? " she said. "It will bo of about as
much UBQ to you ns a planot-corer. "
U "What is thatl" I exclaimed.
"Why , a thing to t ko the core out of
worlds , so that the inhabitants on op.
poaito sides will not have to co way
round. You know that wouldn't bo oi
< any value to yon. "
"But , my dear , " I said , "that most
charming invention that I expect to
got "
"Do yon mean to s y that you bought ? "
eho cried , with sparkling eyes.
The necessity of an sniwor was pre
vented by the tempestuous entrance ol
Horaco. "Behold met" ho shouted ,
throwing bis bat'on the floor and pulling
himself up to his loftiest height. "I am
the editor ! "
Into our excited minds Horace now
poured his story. The Rov. Mr. Henley
had jumped at his offer. Ho liad heard
a that letters had passed between the oflicern
of the church ho wanted nnd n clergy
at man in the west , and the news Lid great-
iv agitated him. The chance of seeming
a parish so near his present home , and in
owry way so congenial to him. must not
bo lost , and ho would have sold his jiapei
for almost any sum in liand. What more
I was necessary to anticipate the payment
of the widow's legacy , nnd aficilitatc
, the departure of the present incumbent ,
ho could obtain from other resources.
Now all was turmoil , for Horace vowoc
a1ut ho must bo offimmediatcly. It was necessary
ut cessary tliat bo should bo instructed ii
the constitution and working of lib jour
iml ; that ho should bo introduced to people
ple ; tliat ho should arrange for running i
little while on credit ; that Im
should talk to advertisers ; tliat 1.6 .
. should do a thousand things !
( He must go to-morrow. Regardless of
- the Inconvenience which this sudden up
nt setting of her domestic affairs caused to
Belle , she most gladly assisted he
brother to depart , and sat up nearly al
light to sen that his clothes were ii
'
. order , while I did everything I could do
ny I feeling all the tlmo aa If I were drivin
him Into an Eden In order that I might
ontot Into n bolter ono.
Iloraco waa now aoUloa at his lift ,
work. Belle had taken np her tem
porary residence with an aunt In the
village , and I was In the vestibule of
Paradise. Wo were to bo married in a
month. No ono could see any possible
reason for delay.
About week before the day appoint
ed for our wedding I received a letter
from Horace which throw mo Into con
sternation. The eoasona of my lifo and
love had advanced once moro , with nil
their joys and beauties , their opening
flowers , and their ripening grain , and all
the glorlca of the perfected year
seemed just at hr.nd , when that letter ,
like Q cold wind from the north landed
with sleet , hall , and bitter chill , swept
down upon mo , threatening blight and
ruin. The piano of my elliptic , nnd the
exllo ot my soul , seemed to bavo forgot
ten that they had anything to do with
each other , and August threatened to
atop back to March. Horace wrote In
the highest spirits and In the brightest
hopos. The first number of the paper
Issued under his editorship had created
quite a stir. A number of people who
had never cared for it before came in to
subtciibo. Now advertisements had
bocu secured that lifted the heavy end of
his tunning oxpontcs , nrul.ho was about
to Introduce a novel feature which ho
was sure would help .him moro than
anything ho nad dono. Ho would pslnt
every week a first-claas American story
which had never appeared before.
Country papers conld not , ordinarily ,
ollotil to pay for such otorlos , but ho had
mndo a contract with n literary agent
who conld furnish them on exceedingly
easy torma. Ho gave mo the name of
thin agent. It waa the man to whom I
luil sold my story.
No ono will wonder at my constorna
tlon. The now foatnro was to begin 1m
modlatoly , and it waa very likely , in
deed , moro than likelythat , among other
stories , Horace would receive the
naratlvo ( of hia own peculiar mis
fortunes and predicaments. If , In the
midst of his many duties ho had not
time to road the manuscript , It imp-ht
even bo put In typo and hurried into his
paper ; nnd In thia case the whole remarkable -
markablo chain of events would bo portrayed
trayed In ono of its links. Horace was
such a sensitive man , such n pasaionato
and Impulsive man , that I know not how
his Impetuous spirit would break out If
ho oaw this story , Belle , too , was as
high-spirited aa her brother. I trem
bled for everything for which I hoped ,
The great point now was , to pot mar
riod. OncB united to Belle I felt that I
could defy even this fate , and my anxiety
ty for the ceremony must have appeared
ridiculous. I oven proposed to Belle
that wo should bo married on Monday
instead of Thursday. But at thia she
only laughed. She could not possibly bo
ready so aoan , and , besides , it was too
absurd.
On Wednesday Horace wrote that ho
had every possible dealra to attend the
wedding , bnt ho had so much on hand
which must bo done ho really did not BOO
how he waa going to do it. At all events
ho could not expect to arrive before the
hour appointed for the ceremony. It
happened , fortunately , at this tlmo that
our village was peculiarly healthy , and
that i was little called upon In a profes
sional way. Had it been otherwise , I
fear that my reputation would have uuf
fered.
The day arrived ; the thunder cloud
had not yet broken , and the wedding
party went to the church. Horace had
not como , and now I hoped with all my
heart that ho would not come. His very
appearance would nnnorvo me.
Our good old pastor proceeded very
slowly with the ceremony , and ho actual
ly stopped for a moment , when at the
words , "When the secrets of all hearts
shall bo disclosed. " I hastily murmured
"I will , " and with a reproving glance ho
recommenced the sentence. How could
I help my feeling of nervous haato when
into my mind there continually came the
figure of Horace bunting Into the church
wildly waving a newspaper over hia head
and forbidding the ceremony to proceed"
Bnt apparatlon appeared not. Wi
were safely married and loft the villagi
for a short bridal trip. When wo returned
turned I took my wife to the homo I had
prepared for her and all would have been
perfect happiness for both of us had it
not been for anxiety on account of that
unfortunate story. And yet I could not
call it unfortunate. Had it not boon for
its aid I should not now bo married. If
it hod only been some other story I Bnt
I never conld have thought of anything
so odd , so acceptable to an editor ns that ,
My uneasiness in regard to this matter
was aroatly increased by some remarks of
my wife very suon after wo had settled
id our now homo 1t
"Our life is charming , " she said , "but ,
when I think in what a queer way all
this came to bo , and how It depended 1
such a funny string of things , it seems
perfectly ridiculous , and I wouldn't have
anybody know of It for the world. The
idea of our marriage dopenlng on your ,
buying a heel-turner , and somebody else
going into the minittrjr. How every
body would laugh were it known ? But as
nobody will know It does not matter , and
wo will put the model of Horace's m&-
chino on a bracket in some quiet corner ,
and cover It with laurel wreaths and any
thing else that looks pretty. "
How people would laugh If they .know
it ! Am d what would Belle think if abe
road it In her brother's own pipar that
journal so eagerly penned every week ,
And oven if Horace did not print it , ha
would bo auro to sou it in scmo of his tx-
ohangoj. How to avert this certain
danger I know not. I had thought of
writing to the literary agent , and asking
him not to sell the Btory to Uotace. But
this would bo of little use , as it would
appear In other quarters. and ,
besides , any request of tnnt kind would
connect in the agent's mind , my brother.
in-law with the matter. Any one In my
place , possessed of sufficient mana I ,
would have instantly endeavored to buy
the story back again. But my marriage
had strained my _ resources to their utmost
I could do notbiog in this way.
The trouble 1 waa in could not fail to
have a notiboablo ell'jot upon me , and
Belle probed my heart wltn many an
affeotionato inquiry ; while Horaoa , who
bouuced In upon ua occasionally , ro-
nmked iliat I did not look half aa happy
aa I ought to ho ,
I was in my ofllco one morning jnal
preparing for my daily round , when Joht
Broadly came hi.
"Doctor , " said he , "I'm ready now tc
equare up mattess between us. "
"I'm aony , John , " I anawered , "but ]

Bottle with mo , fairand square. "
When John Broadly left mo I gave a
glance at the clock. There was just time
to visit the only ono of my patients who
really needed mo , and to catch the morn
ing train to the city. By noon I had
soon the literary agent ; had found that
the story had not yet been sent ont ; had
made him fool how urgent were my per
sonal reasons for suppressing it ; and had
obtained the manuscript , paying him for
it with the money with which ho had
bought it of mo !
This gentleman was. indeed , well
pleased to bo relieved of a story which
ho had found difficult to dispose of on
account of the author not possessing
literary fame ; John Broadly cheered his
heart by paying an honest debt , nnd rid
ding himself of the necessity of doing a
lot of work for nothing , which ho said to
him was the hardest kind of labor ; the
young clergyman with a free con
science sped away to renew his health ;
the reverend editor entered upon his
mluiatrylwith au earnest and _ thankful
heart ; Horace , whoso journalistic success
increased with every week , might bo con <
sldorod as settled in n lifo work which
satisfied his every craving ; while I had
Belle , Hand Belle had mo ; and , besides
that , wo had the heel-tumor , the balance
of payment on which Horace bogged his
sister to accept ai her dowry.
I burned the manuscript in my oftico
grate. It had never boon printed ; it had
never entered on the conrso for which it
had boon Intended ; its very sale had boon
cancelled ; and the money received for It
had been paid back. It disappeared in
smoke , and curling clndcrj , and yet It
has accomplished its purpose , and the
story that It had boon written to toll wont
on. As for the hool-tnrnor , having
helped to turn this point In my lifo , it
never turned anything elso.
