him as ho went by, nnd two or throe
wondered what was sending that man to
tho devil.
Ho wont homo and stood by the body
of his aunt. There was a single fasci

vary wonderful and tempting in that
mysterious and absoluto rest. Hadden-
ly ho became master of himself, of the
bitterness and despair of the moment.
as she entered his room. She looked
paler than ever in h*r black dress, bnt
Gerald thought he had never seen so
sweet snd noble a face.

grow suddenly grave and tender. “ Go

Lnnne went from the room and down
tho stairs. For the last three days she
had boon like one in a dream. It
seemed awful to l»o warm nnd happy
evou after she entered tho dark, gloomy
drawing-room, oven after sho had bout
and kissed the cold, stern faco for Ger

MIBB ERIBM'B OODIOIL.
Miss Heboooa Erism, a valetudina
rian of siaty, lay dying at her houso in
town. Hbe had held so tenacious a
grip upon life that it was difliuult for
tho two young people to realize tho ond
was so near. These two young people
wero Gerald Erism, lior ntphow, and
Miss Lttiiuu Williams, her coinpnuiou
Mid nurao.
Gerald had soon the young woman
every day for tho three ysars sho had
lived with his aunt, but uover uutil this
moment lmd bestowed a sorious thought
upon her. Ho did uot even know the
color of hor eyes till his aunt gasped
out a Houtouou that caused him to look
st her attentively. Thou he found
them shining luminously iu tho sumbor
gloom of tiro sick chamber, and some
thing therein forbade him to hate hor,
although tho sentouoo his aunt had
uttered was to tho effect that she had
left Miss Williams all hor monoy.
.“ If you expect to pay for that homo
for Emily Thorpe to ride with the
money you got by tuy death,'' mini the
dying woman, “you're mistaken.”
“ Yon don't uudoratnnd,” began
Gerald.
“It wrh an iiifamoua transaction,”
said tho old lady, “ and what ‘l call a
postobit. 1 found out enough about it
to rnako mo put a oodioil to my will.
That rascally horse dealer'll lose his
money after all, aud Emily Thorpe shall
Uauut none of hor llnory at mv expense.
1’vo loft my money to Luano Williams!''
It was thou that Gerald looked at
Luano ; hut his aunt suddenly stretched
out her hands to him pleadiugly, nnd
finding a gray pallor spreading over
her faco, ho knelt dowu by hor bodsido
snd took hor oold withered baud in his
twit
“ If tho horse had boon for any one
but that Emily Thorpe l ” faltered tho
poor old lady.
“ Oh, aunt,” said Gerald, “ if you'd
lot me explain—”
“ 1 would if I had time,” she said ;
“but I must die now."
Iu ten minutes it was all over, and
Gerald went out of tho house with a
great ache at hitt heart. Hu was vary
sorry for his aunt; she had been very kind
to him—too kind, for sho bad reared him
for tho useless life ol a drone, when
now it appeared he must work for a
living like all the rest of the bees. It
had hitherto boon something of a bore
to him merely to sjamd money, ami tho
fuel began to dawn uuplcusantly upon
Ids mind that to cure it must bo in
finitely morn wearisome.
Wulunig aimlessly on his, feet took
meohuniOHlly a familiar direction, aud
he found himself punning before a line
house in a fashionable quarter of the
city, from which shambled a somewhat
bent aud awkward tig are that presently
disappeared iu a brougham befoio the
door.
Gerald recognised the man as Mr.
Hanger the millionaire, and involun
tarily contrasted his condition with that
of tho fortunate soap dealer. Ho was,
however, ho absorbed with the direful
news ho had to tell Emily that before
she c.rmu into the parlor ho bad forgot
ten Badger's existence.
It was singular that her remarkable
beauty and brilliant t »ilet did not ap
pall Gerald at that moment; that the
fact of hiN uo lougt-r being able to grace
that lovely hand with InriUtiug gems
did uot prevent him from seiauig it iu
both his own, and kissing it rapturous
ly. But for an enchanting moment be
was allowed to for get the gloomy chum-
her «here his aunt lav dead, and tin
followed him, and, turning, iio saw the
pale, perturbed faco of Miss Williams.
Thau lie remembered her proseuco in
tho room, but bis madness and grief
had prevented him from realizing it.
“ Just one word, Mr. Erism,”
said. “ Of course you know that I will
not touch one ponny of this money I”
“ It doesn't matter now,” he replied
“It might oh well be yours as any
body's I”
“ But it is yours,” she said.
“ Oh, as for me,” suid Gerald,
shall not want it." Ho walked through
the hall. Miss Williams followed him
stealthily. He enterod the room, hut
wheu the door shirt him in Luaue
inaiucd, haggard and trembling, hor
glued to the cold panel botweou them.
A grim ailonoo reigned about her. Hho
oould hear tho olook tick in the dead
woman's room below. Haddunly she
put both her hands about the knob and
opened the door. Gerald turned quick
ly ; there was an ntninotiH cliok ; the
pistol fell a little as it went off The
blood soaked through his coat aud
triokled out upon the floor. Just as
Luano won about ainkiug at his foot,
Gerald put out his hand to her.
“An accident, Miss Williams,” he
said. “ Please send Adams for the
doctor, aud thou help tne off with my
coat.”
This brought Luano to herself. Hho
hastened to do his bidding, dispntcheo
Adams, and returning nguiu to Gerald,
stanched tho blood with strips of the
pillow-eiiso from a bed. Wheu tbe
doetor came aho held tho light for him
while he probed the wound and ex-
traded tho bullet.
“An inoh or so highor/’said the doc
tor, “and you would havo been buried
on the same day with your mint.”
“It wus u lucky tiling, then, that
Miss Williams had an orrund to mv
room when she did," Huid Gerald.
“ Ah she opened tho door my bund fell
and tho pistol went off.”
“Hheluut unconsciously saved your
life,” said tho doetor. Then aa Luano
lift tho room he added, “Hho's the
finest young woniau I know, aud would
make a oajntal nurse in mv hospital
Do you know what sho thinks of doing
now that your aiiut is gone V ”
“No,” said Gerald, with n grim
smile; “but I fancy she'll think of
something livelier than that.”
“ Hho has such an excellent physique
and Bploudid nerve," said the doctor.
“ But I must go. Keep au quite as
yon onn, and have Adams within call.”
That night Gerald awoke with an in
tolerable Uiirst; Ids temples throbbed,
his oyos burned. Looking over at
Adams, bo louud that ho was souud
uhIoojj. This of itself was offensive to
Gerald, What busiuesH bad the nmu
to sleep when ho was suffering ? How
turribly oppressive the stilluosH was,
this sumi aarknesH and louoliuus ! At
that luouiout a ponderous more re
sounded from the throat of tho sturdy
Adams, ami Gerald almost louped from
his bod. It was like a stab to him ; it
was unendurable. He atrotobed over
hit) souud arm, and reaching a pillow,
threw it with all his might at tho tin
conscious Adams, lint in spite of the
agony the movement coat him, it was u
futile ene. The pillow fell far short of
the object ou tho floor, and Gerald sunk
bock with a groan.
But suddenly tho soft touch of u
woman’s hand fell toudorly upon bis
fort-bead, the sweet tones of a woman's
voice foil soothiugly upon bis ear.
“ It is time for your medicine," said
Luaue, and put the oup to liis lips.
Gerald drank as it it wuu nectar. Then
she arranged bis pillows fur him, ami
wild about retreating from tho room
when lie faintly called for u drink.
Thou Uo though! his hoad was too high,
or perhaps u trillo low ; every move
inont caused him intolerable agony,
and he hutcil to tie alone with Adutna
again. Hho must have really divined
Urn motive, amt come to save his life.
Hho was again about to leave him, but
lie put hia I mud upon bora to detain
her, and fouud lluu it trembled a lilt1<
beneath hia touch.
“Your hand did'nt tremble when you
held tlie lamp for the doetor," suid (her
ald. “ lie wants you for a hospital
nurse, but 1 told him you'd prefer
ties*. God forever bless you for it.
Then tho people began to pour in,
and the coromony commenced. Lnano'i
woro tho only tears that wero shed, and
tho most of tho guests came from civil
ity or curiosity. Miss Erism had taken
but little activo part in the world for
many a year, and tho poor lady was very
soon put away and forgotten.
Tho most important part of tho pro
ceedings was when they returned from
the burial to bear the reading of tbe will

“1 don't see the necessity,” said

it,"
“Your aunt’s money is your own,”
said Lusne, “and you insult mo by

But as sho left him he felt a sudd
lawyer unrolled tho parchment,

What would they think of hor—what
would thoy say of hor? Oh, how glad
she was that tho only

innocent sho was, and how ignorant!
But even while she thought thus she
hoard tho lawyer read ; “ To my bo

“You’ll take my money?" echoed
Luaue—“my poor little fitly dollars?''

” Your mint loft hor monoy where it he
longs, Mr. Erism. I have just heard
you doolarod her solo surviving heir.”
Gerald remaiued stunned aud bo-
wildurcd.
“ Where is tho codicil?” ho cried to
tho lawyer, who stood at the door. “ My
aunt left her money to Miss Williams
Hho told rue so when she wss dying 1”
“Oh, that was when you bought tin

“And tho money is mine?" cried
Gerald.
“Of course it's yours," nnd the lawyer

Then Gerald held out his hands t<

said that he married her to spite Emily

For a week or two past display ad
