And he wheeled his burden into the yard,
glancing Illnoct reverentiy at. his gentle Is-

“ Hy mother thinks you are not very long
in our village," mid Emily shyly.
“No, only three days. I‘m I stranger,
you see, and I don't; get much work. but I
shall by-md-by, I think,” and a faint smile
passed over his features.
“ Pipeline lots of work to be done, he

“ Think you. fly acme is Thomas Wil-
son Ind-4nd I live on the Mu." He spoke
hesitatingly, Ind blushed as he mentioned
the poorest locality. h town. Praemly he
looked up, his companion was gone, and was
now sitting on the piazza tgain as quietly as
if she had not moved at all.
“ Thai. name drove her off," mused Thom-
as, as he went on with his load. “ Well I
don‘t wonder. It is a low place. But she
was kind; there are mighty few girls would
do what she did."
That evening, while Emily and her father
were conversing—she trying to find out if
he knew anything of the Wilson furnily,
and be wondering what “ the darling little
witch was driving nt“-—-thc neighbor across
the way came in, and shortly referred to the
incident of the afternoon, and added:
“ It was good in you, Emily, very good,
but they are rather low peoplth—lhcse Wil-
snns. They lived in Daymoulli before they
came here; in fact, the old man died there.
lie was a hard one, it is said,and drank him-
Iclf to death. I don't know, but I shouldn‘t
wonder if the boy look after him for lie
wm‘t work steady. I hired him the first
day he came here, and he was off in the ef-
ternoon; and the next morning he looked
pale, and his eyes were red. I really don‘t
believe he is of much account."
Emily,who was very far from sharing the
caller's suspicions, wes about to any that oth-
er things than drink caused pallor of the
features Ind redness of the eyes, but think-
ing the time used in argument is generally
thrown away, she held her peace, and to
solved to ascertain tlm facts for herself.
Slipping quietly out of the room she as-
sumed her bubil,nnd then ordered her pony
saddled. As it. was nothing unusual for her
to ride on moonlight night nights, neither
of her parents asked a question, Ind she
gnllnpcd nwny on her mission undisturbed.
Reaching tin- l‘lals—u place SllC had often
visted on errands of mercyushc dismount-
ed and inquired in what house Mrs. Wilson
lived. The woman directed her, with an
ominous shake of the head, and Emily, re.
fleeting upon the force of prejudice among
all classes. pursued her way on foot, leading
the pony by the bridle.
The smallest, oldest and dirtiest of all the
habitulions on the Flats was the one which
had been pointed out to her. “itching the
pony to a staple in the window rill-for
them was no other place, not a tree or shrub
growing in the vicinity—Em'ly knocked up-
on the door, and awaited with pecuer feel-
Lur-MI imqu.,1M“nn—m.¢. "In nonuni-
ed speechless by surprise: then, in I voice
which revealed both pain Ind mortincation,
be said :
“ Will you come in? You will find it a
wretched place, but we can‘t help it, just
now.“
Emily made no reply. but followed him
into the house. In the first room were a
table, three chairs, an old cookingatove, Ind
an old-fashioned washsmnd. In one of the
clmim,curled up asleep, was a little girl of
about five summers. her long, black ink
falling over a thin, pale fIce on.which tear
slams were yet visible. Thomas saw Emily
glancing at the child. and he simply said,
‘ My sister.“ But there was nngu‘uh in
cvery'accenl. “ My mother is in the next
room. \Vould you like to see her i" headd-
cd presently. The maiden inclined her head.
and followed him into the chamber, where,
upon: low cot bed, by a woman evidently
in the last stages of consumption. Her skin
was transparent, and her eyes, large and
black, gave to her countenance a brilliancy,
wierd, almost frightful. A: Emily entered,
the invalid glanced upon her inquiringlg,
Ind said:

“ With the hope of being met as nfriend,"

“ Don’t pulse me, but also out your bun-

“ Yea, though I was Mid I was doing

Emily reprnved him for “sentence, and
then went on with her preparations. In a
short time a repeat, which to Tom and Alice
seemed I banquet, was placed on the table,
and then Emily departed, saying Ilia would
come on the marrow and wash the dishes.
Tom's gaze followed her until she was in-
visible, when he returned to the house,
dropped on his knees before- his mother's
bed and thanked God for the friend which
had been sent to them when starvation
seemed inevitable.
The next. day and every day for a week
Emily Wharton brought the sunlight of her
presence to that wretched abode, and cheered
Ind comforted the invalid and her children,
not forgetting to enlist the services of the
villIge physician in thesame (more. 'But he
could do little for the mflbrer; she could
only be made easier during her brief stay on
earth—sheeofi-not recover. And If length
the time came when his words were to be
verified, and Tom Wilson, standing It the
side of the little couch, knew that his moth-
would not live an hour. He could not bear
this terrible blow alone, with little Alice
clinging to him in fear. At length Emily
came and stood by his side. Together the
three looked down upon the blanched face
and wasted form of the invalid. Greet robe
shook the son‘s breast and It. intervals the
words came forth in convulsive whisper:
”Oh, God! must I lose my mother?” She
heard him once and tried to smile, but she
had not strength, and instead she worked
her hand across the counterpane until it
touched his. That destroyed the last parti-
cle of his self—control, and sinking upon his
knees he wept like a child.
He arose just in lime to see the lust pulsa-
tion of his mother’s heart. She had gone
forever. He tuned to Emily and gazed upon
her imploringly.
“ Be calm, dear friend,” she said tactfully.
“ ()1), Emily, you are all [but I have left.
()h, Emily, if I dared to love you——." lie
paused, and his body shook like a leaf.
Again, he spoke; " Emily, next to her I
loved you. May I?"
“ Yes, Tom," and thus they were he
trothcd.
Five years had passed away since the
night when Emily gave Tom her promise
at the bedside of his dead mother. Very
long and weary had been those years; many
beartaches, some doubts and many fears
had come and gone, only to come and go
again. Emily was now twenty-three years
old, and looked upon by the villagers Is an
old maid, not. thIt she was less attractive,
but because she had refused I0 many lovers,
some distinguished and some rich. .
“ My child, my dear Emily," said her fa-
ther. one evenin when they w sitting on
seen her only acgc'epled lover. ET think you
the done your duty in waiting. Your life
is your own,and from the fact that you have
not. heard from Tom in two years, it is not
likely that you will ever hear from him
again."
“ Don‘t father!
Emily, shuddering.
“ My preciou . daughter, I would not pain
you for the world. It is only my love for
you that causes me to speak thus. You
proved to me that Tom was good, else I
would not. have sanctioned the engagement.
He went away to make hie fortune, taking
with him his little sister. It is sad to think
(f anything having happened to him, but
time and silence indicate something."
“ He will come back, father," she replied,
