“Wln u your nuilher was hu: siviohen
( vv hither died, leaving uui*pr r w:tyb: the
if iiis partner, your Or.,;.' • :t • • * r • g-
dim The drill was a wealthy one. and,
Undo Robert and your father. K.ayi n.nd
Ogden, were with Hum in business.
*•1 was ten and my sister's senior, m i
Robert Ogden was as many yens older
than his brother, As was hut n dural, the
families were very ini illicit-.. and when Ki
be and I came to this quiet, country vil
lage to live, our guardian and r.is sons
were our frequent guests. Our mother
presided over t he household,and for sever..1
months there was no break in the happy
though uneventful life we led.
“Then the first of a series of (.alamiti j? 1
befell us. Raymond Ogden disgraced his 1
father's name by being out* of a ['arty of j
men arrested in a gambling house. T do ■
not wish to shake your father s memory, j
and I believe the youthful wrong was sin-’
ccrely repented and atoned for in later
life, but the fact remains the sane. His
father, a stern man of strict integrity, who ’
abhorred all games ot cords direct inven
tions of the father of evn, gave Ids son ,
warning that a second oik use of Ihia kind ,
would cost him his inheritance and his 1
home.
“I do not know the particulars of that
second offense. Raymond said it w;i* only
a payment of debts of honor con.ru led
months before: but a second offense chore,
was, and Mr. Ogden tamed Ms x.m front;
his house with a sufficient .-uni uuimms to
start in business for hims.,11.
“Eilie grieved sorely, a id I began then •
to suspect, that Raymond had won her
love; but we never spoke of that, and
mother never said she object;>d to ft!-- j..t-
ter-i ih.it passed betw-en lii-y.noiid and'
my sister. I think she was sorry for the
handsome, impulsive boy who nad been
almost like a son to i.ev since hi*. \e y in-
faucy, and that Hie looked, upon both the
young folks ar nieie < lbidr« n.
“But your Uncle Robert even the began,
to hml Elbe’s sweet haa, tin* fair. st in iho

litM.. oyer 30, and heart-whole, till she fill
ed his idea of gentle wo nannood.
“He was all that a man should wish to
be—-child, all! Noble in ev* ry impulse,
bip.v , true, a Christian in the hfg.'*e-.t
sense, ageiitleiria:. in every '.void m. : ac- '
tion. Not so liancso 1 nt: as Raymond,
gravel and more reserved, but a man to
honor. And in J lie did n speed, pint, did re
alise tl.ot he was a man «*f a thousand, hut
she did not love him. It was* k* strange?
Robert Ogden, los ing with all the pure,
noble strength of his heart, and such love, ,
faiting upon an irresponsive heart, that
could look calmly upon, him and bring ,
only a respectful esteem to meet his devo
tion.
“But tin re was r»o though. I of all these,
heart-histories until Mr. <»•»•, «-n died sud- 1
der.lv. His \yill was in Robert s handa, I
and the day after the funeral, before it was
opened he came lo our cot Luge and had a
long interview with mother. \W knew
then for the first time that my father had
left a letter of trusi in his partner’s nanus
requesting Elbe, w hen she came of age to
m.ir-y Robert < >gden.
“The love of the young merchant had
been revealed to our father before hia death
but, by it until slu was old enough to un
derstand bis own requrst Elbe was to know
nothing of the jm-anij.g of the love he of
fered her.
“Tins was one letter, and Mr. Ogden’s,
will strengthen commands. Robert
was left to inherit all Uk property but
irb.'wxi left to Raymond: and his father beg
ged him to win Ellie for his wife, and
comply with bis father’** request. I think,
dear, your grandfather wished to keep our
patrimony in the firm, that had existed ’
through three generatirms, and Ellie, as
Robert’s wife, should have the same inter
ests.
‘ She was but a child at 20, and she sin-
cert ly liked Robert. Do not blame her
that she mistook this quiet esteem for the
affection her-lover craved, and con.?t ntvd
to lie his wife. All the preparations for
the wedding went forward for a year. We
did the sewing at home—mother and 1
Pitching a* tire dainty linen ami cambric,
embroidering and ruffling, and filling a
great closet with our finest needlework.
“Raymond had vanished after his fath
er’s death, h aving ^ven the pitiful b g.icy
and we knew nothing of hi- whereabouts.
Elbe sorrowed, as if a brother wandered
in disgrace and poverty, the sre»vt of her
own heart even then a sealed book to her
self.
“Robert was a most devoted lover, with
that rare delicacy of wooing that never
startled Ellie by buisis of eloquence or any
sudden spasms of lov<-n<
that enuid contribute to
cry thoughtful attention •
Word was offered so gvntl
that he never startled tlie \

“You .are no beggar. Raymond. Your
folher’s Vv iii was ivurned a.* soon as the leg
acies that vwre entrusted to me were paid.
Your half of his estate lies in your manu

“T have seen the advertisineent. I kept
away because—and Raymond’s voiw fal
tered—“I loved your promised wife. » am
not altogether a* scoundrel, Robert. I kept

1 have been nearer offerer than she ever
snppo.-ed. But to-day I saw her from the
river, sitting here so listless, so unlike a
happy bride, that the temptation to probe
her heart was irresistible. Robert, marry
her if you will, her heart i* mine.’
“ Ellie!' the grave voice asked, ‘dots 1113’
brother speak the truth?’
“'flic eh ar, searching eyes rested mourn
fully upon t he llushed, downcast face, but
EliiV lifted it bravely.
“•I never meant to deceive you, Robert,
Sim said softly. ‘I thought I loved you un
til Raymond came.’
• * And now
“Ilis lone was bitter and his face like
that of a ma,i lacing death.
“ - I will be faithful to you,’ Ellie said,
•and T will try to forget.’
• * fry to forget? Child! child! will any
mfti: take to Lis heart a wife trying to for
get! Ih.aven fobid I should so wrong you
or my .elf. Raymond, you have won what
i would give my live to possess. May God
“He was gone before we could speak,and
for ten years we never looked again upon
Robert Ogden\*i face. Raymond found his
jioni'.u, a.- li- had bi-en told be would, but
it w.i * a y^-.'.r later before Ellie bteame his
w i!'. . E\.rv maidenly impulse cried out
ag-dusi any haste iu the wedding and they
wi if. abroad for three years.
“But Robert raver looked again upon
1 llu until he came to a funeral where
in.--fair young lace rested against the enf-
lin pidt w«. I stood ’oeside him while he
cut « of the golden curls from the clus
ters around the still white face, and press
ed hi.- ) I j »s to the one that had exiled him
for ten long v ears.
“Yesterday when I put flowers on your
Un .le Robert’s breast. I saw a lino gold
chain around his neck. I)o not blame me
that 1 drew it out to see what rested upon
hi-'heart, and tounda locket enclosing the
lock of golden Lair he cut from Elbe's
head when she lay in her coffin fifteen
There was a long silence in the room,
and my aunt then arose srtftly and with-
diew. Bui never again was lifted from
her gri,lie. disfigured face the shadow that
fell there when she looked for the last
time upon the face of my IJnole Robert.

What can bonks do for us? Dr. John
son, the least pedantic of men, put the
whole matter into a nutshell <acoeoanut
shell, if you will—heaven forbid that I
should seek to compress the great doctor
within any narrower limits than my meta
phor requires', whin he wrote that a book 1
should teach us either to enjoy life or to .
endure it. “Give us enjoyment!*’ “Teach
us endurance!" Hearken to the ceaseless
demand and the perpetual prayer of an
ever unsatisfied and an always suffe ring
humanity! Ilovv is a hook to answer the
ceaseless demand? Self-forgotfulni ss is of
tlie essence of enjoyment, and the author
who would confer pleasure must possess
the. art or know the trick of destroying for
the time the reader’s own personality.
Undoubtedly the easiest way of doing this
is by the creation of a host of rival per
sonalities—hence the number and popu
larity of novels. Whenever a novelist
fails, his bool: is said to flag; that is, the
reader suddenly as in skating comes’
bump down upon his own personality, arid
curses the unskillful author. No lack of
characters and continual motion is tin
easiest recipe fur a novel, which, like .1
beggar, should a 1 wavs lie kept “moving
on." Nobody knew this l.ettoi than
Kieidirg. whose novels, like most g« <«1
ores, are full of inn-. Macmillan's Mega-
