R- N. BEST, m 3 3m THE LAST RELIC. With fingers all knotted and bony, She clutched it in eager alarm. Like a miser who dies for his money. Struck down by a plunderer’s arm. But her greed, when her secret was sought for, Was a passion with tears to be told, And the treasure the clung to and fought for Was a treasure more precious than gold. Through the slums of the city, unfragrant, * She had wandered, old, weary and lame, Till the sen try men seized her —a vagrant— And the cierk of the night took her name. But then voices, with kindly endeavor Made gentle, spoke not of her sin, For a captive more pitiful never The gate of a prison shut in. One hand, from the quest of the jailer, ’Neath her poor ragged apron concealed, Shrank in fear, and her lips growing paler In grief to his mercy appealed. “ Sure it’s nothing—no, nothing to mind of- Let me have it—O spare it, I pray! It’s only—a kind of —a kind of— A keepsake— don't take it away!" Her eyes—for the tear-drops had started— She hid with one thin, withered arm. While the jailer, stem-faced, but kind-hearted, Assured her, and soothed her alarm. He must search for his duty compelled it; Her hand from the apron he drew — And soon from the fingers that held it, Uncovered a torn little shoe. “ You may keep it, ' he faltered—“no danger”— And the pauper sobbed back through her tears: “ That has cheered me when hope was a stran ger, My joy tive-and-thirty long years. ’Tis the last, since I mourned him, heart broken, Left to me of my baby, my lamb— And but for that dear little token I had been twice the wretch that I am.” In the cell where they led her and left her, Sank the weary old vagrant to rest. With her dream of the day that bereft her, And the relic of love on her breast. And the Friend who her infant had taken Came smiling, more near than she knew, And His sign to the mother forsaken Was the touch of that torn little shoe. Theron Brown, in Youth's Companion. HELEN LAKEMAN; on, — Tho Story of a Young Girl’s Strug gle With Adversity. BY JOHN H. MU SICK, Airnion of "Thk Rankur of Bedford,“ “Walter Brownfield," Etc. [ Copyright , lsse, by A. X. Ktllo<j<j Newspaper Co.] CHAPTER IV.— CONTINUED. Warren's face turned red. Why h:td the peddler alluded to her ? Did he observe the look of dismay upon the face of his parents when he returned from church with her the night before ? “ J'U tell ye, Warren,” gait} the ped dler, in a low tone, “ I don’t blame ye t<ne doggon bit—providen’ yer in ear nest ; but lem me tell ye somethin’—if ye go to breakin’ that gal’s heart, yer meaner than a feller who peddles brass earings or pizen medicine. She’s a good gal, Warren, with an ‘all-wool’ heart —there’s no cotton chain or fillin’ about her—she’s no cheat an’ as good as gold.” Fete had a habit of rating people as he diii his merchandise. Having spent all his life in a certain trade it became a part of his language, and a part of himself. Warren felt like a criminal; he asked himself in his own mind whether he was a villian or not. He knew that he could not get his parents’ consent to his marriage with her, and he had not really obtained his own. Perhaps this feeling was only sympathy and interest in the poor girl. “Fete,” he said, “who was it that wronged this girl ? who robbed her of her home, the Plumber place ?” “Why the man who owns it now— old Jim Arnold.” “llow was it done?” “Done, it was one o’ them steals which is done in court. Ye see, when Mr. Lakcman died, he was but little known. There was a security debt of live hundred dollars against him, an’ old Jim Arnold he bought it. Well, ye see, Arnold got a thief named Smith administrator, a regular cheat, with ‘cotton chain an’ toe tillin’;’ then they went to lawin’ this live-hundred-dollar claim, an’ spent all the personal prop erty doin’ it. There warn’t enough to pay funeral expenses an’ doctor bill, ’though Mr. Lakemau were well fixed when he died. After that was settled a guardian was appointed for the two children, who, of course, were ’titled to a homestead. Well, the guardian was off the same piece o’ doth as the administrator. Here was five hundred dollars to pay, and a farm an’ a piece o’ raw land to pay it out of. The tow lineil Arnold, he has tlm homestead o’ the children set off among the breaks tin’ hills, not worth ten cents an acre, an’ a farm worth five thousand dollars sold. He bought it in at five hun dred.” “Why, how could this be done?” Warren asked. “Ye see, Arnold owned the lawyers in it, an’ the probate judge, too.” “Why was it not appealed to a high er court?” “It was, an’there they found the rottenest goods in the whole pack; the lower court might not a had any better sense, but the other judge he was—well he was ltonght jist like a piece o’ cal ico, an’ he’s shoddy goods at that. He ‘held it all to Ih> regular, an’ dismissed the appeal!’ ’Nother lawyer tried to take it the Supreme Court, but ye see the administrator’s lawyer an’ the guardians’ lawyer, who were shoddy goods, come in an’ dismissed the whole thing.” “And those poor children were swin dled?” “Yes; worse swindled than they'd a been by a second-hand clothing Jew merchant in Chatham street, New York.” The remainder of the drive to town was made iu silence, and Warren re turned alone. His mind was busy. This girl then was not of low parent age, though her occupation was hum ble. Humble—was it not noble? He resolved to know more of Helen Lake man. CHAPTER V. MRS. ARNOLD DOSS HU DI7TT. Plain, unassuming, modest Helen Lakemau, to whom duty to her crippled brother was more than all things else, strove to crush out the image of War ren Stuart from her heart, and also to blot out tiie memory of that moonlight walk to church. We all know how hard it is to forget that which is pleas ant to rememlier. In trying to reason with herself that she should forget W arren, she was constantly bringing his image before her mind. The pleas ure of remem Wring that pleasure was always attended with pain. But Helen had an all-powerful panacea to mental troubles in ambitious work. There was enough to keep her mind and hands busy. Then all her hours of re creation were spent with her afflicted brother. If the found herself dreaming ambitions dreams in which Warren Stn art was her hero, she immediately ban ished them from her mind, and applied herself industriously to her household duties. Warren frequently of an even ing came to the rear porch, with a book or paper, for he said it was the coolest place, Wing on the east side of the L, which formed the kitchen ; but some how Warren never read his book or paper, but spent his time in talking with Helen or amusing Amos. The little cripple grew quite fond of him, and used to call him frequently against the protests of his sister, who blushed profusely in spite of herself when ar ren came. The afternoons were usually em ploved by Helen in sewing for Mrs. Stuart, for she was “handy with the needle.” Nearly every afternoon found Warren there also, unless his father and mother devised some plan to keep him away. Foot* Helen—she was blamed; al though she did nothing to encourage the young physician. Mr. Stuart said he thought when he sent Warren to college it would make him know more than ordinary mortals, but where a pretty face was concerned he was about as big a fool as any other boy. Deluded man, did lie suppose love could he educated out of the human heart, and did he suppose he could add one atom of wisdom to a love-sick youth? Warren’s parents did not forbid his frequent attentions to Helen in direct words; they were too wise for that; but they did every thing they could to dis courage them, and tried to find some thing for him to do to keep him away from the kitchen. Mr. Stuart grew sullen, and even cross, to the little crip pled boy whom he bad fondled and petted before. Mrs. Stuart, good wom an, was kind to lx>th Helen and her little brother. She knew it was not the poor girl’s fault. Helen was quick to perceive that Warren’s manner toward her was caus ing his parents uneasiness, and appre ciated the fact that a hired girl for a daughter-in-law fell far below the ambi tion of the Stuarts. She kept away from church for two Sabbaths, and when she went on the third, Warren, who had set parental vigilance at defi ance, overtook her and accompanied her to church against her protest. On the way home she sought to avoid con versation with him, but as they paused at the rear gate he caught her hand and said : “Helen, I love you, I can’t help it; I don’t care if the whole world knows it. Do you love me in return ?” Sin* cast a frightened, appealing glance in his face, full of mild entreaty, and said : “Oh do not talk so, it is— it is wicked,” and bursting into tears broke away from him and ran to the kitchen. If Warren had the opposition of his parents, he had the sympathy of his sweet, though mischievous, sister Rose. She was quick to discern her brother's fondness for Helen, and already know ing her good qualities resolved in her way to help them. Every young fellow in love is almost sure to find a sympa thetic friend in his sister. There was another family in the Sandy Fork neighborhood as much an noyed as, if not more so, than the Stu arts, over the young doctor and the hired girl. It was the Arnolds. Why had he not visited their house more fre quently since his return? “I declare, he hasn’t been to see Hal lie but once since he came hack,” said Mrs. Arnold, raising her head high in order to look under her spectacles. “He’s taken up with that hired girl”, said Hallie, spitefully, “and I guess 1 don’t want him.” “Well, it’s a strange thing to me,” said Mrs. Arnold, holding a needle be fore her, and trying to thrust a sharp pointed thread through it, “that Mrs. Stuart can’t see what her sou is doing. Mighty little use for them to send a boy through college if lie’s coinin’ hack home to throw himself away on a dish washer.” “Let him marry her if he wants to, nobody cares,” said Hallie, who was doing some line embroidery work. “Well, now, Hallie, that’s not the way to talk alsmt these matters. If I had a son and he was about to throw himself away on some poor trash I’d thank anybody to come and tell me in “HELEN. I LOVE YOU!” time to prevent the ruin, and I don’t know but what it’s my duty to go at once and warn Mrs. Stuart. You see, our eyes are always blinded to the faults of our own children.” “ He had her to church last Sunday,” said Hallie; adding to herself: “ I’d like to scratch her big blue eyes out.” “He didn’t, did he?” cried Mrs. Arnold, looking in the ail and holding one hand up in horror. “Yes, he did.” “Oh, now, Hallie, you must he jok ing ?” “No, it's true; Jim Davis told me so.” “ Then its a lie. Jim only told you that to aggravate you. Jim has been trying to come to our house for a long time, and he thinks if he could get Warren Stuart out of the way he could.” “ But I heard it confirmed liy others.” ♦‘Well, then, Mrs. Stuart don’t know it; I know they know nothing about it. It's my duty to go and tell them.” “Yes, and have them say you arc meddling with other j>eople’s business,” mini Hallie, tears of indignation rising iu her eyes. Hallie was in fact almost in despair. She had struggled so long to get the “best catch ” in Sandy Fork in her net, and just as she thought she had suc ceeded, to have him triumphantly led •way by a hired girl was too much. “I don’t care what they say,” said Mrs. Arnold, “I’m going to do my duty—if j>eople don’t thank me for it I have a clear conscience.” Mrs. Arnold was sure that it was a mere matter of duty. She was not actuated by any selfish notions, but acted wholly from a sense of duty as a neighbor. She was satisfied that that hired girl was not as good as she ought to be, and that she was silently playing a deep game, though how she became satisfied on this point we do not know. That afternoon she arrayed herself in her dark-brown dress, changed her •teel-howed sj>ectaeles for her gold ones and put on her large, rounded bonnet which she wore to “meetinV’ Mrs. Stuai't met her at the door, shook hands with her and asked her in. ‘•I hare come to spend the after noon,” said Mrs. Arnold, with her head high in the air, as if she was try ing to peoo over or under her speo “I HAVE COME TO SPEND THE AFTER NOON.” tacles, “and I’ve brought my knitting, too.” “Well, I’m glad you have,” said Mrs. Stuart, bringing her to the sit ting-room and offering her the best rocking chair. Mrs. Arnold was the high-toned gos sip of the neighborhood. She knew about the “lirst weddings” that were to “come off” long before anybody elsp. She did not mix up much with scandal, leaving that for the mother Tantrums and Grundys to attend to, but she was authority on dress and rumor. It was no easy matter to broach the subject of her errand, and Mrs. Arnold found the evening half spent and it had not been alluded to. It must be done, and she began nerving herself for the task. Mrs. Arnold was a woman of no little courage, but how to speak to this quiet, self-possessed yet confiding Mrs. Stuart, so as to make her words effective, was a puzzle to her. At last she did it. It was after a long spell of trying to pick up a dropped stitch, when she laid her knitting in her lap and elevating her nose in the air so as to fuok under her spectacles, she started out: J)u you know the talk that is goin’ round about Warren ?” “No,” answered Mrs. Stuart, in sur prise. The two ladies were alone, and Mrs. Arnold moved her chair up a little nearer to her neighbor and said : “ People say he’s going to marry.” ‘Marry—marry who?” asked Mrs. Stuart. “Your hired girl," There was just the least contempt in the answer, “It’s false; 1 don't believe it,” said Mrs. Stuart, with indignation. “Now, Mrs. Stuart, I want you to forgive me if I seem to be meddlin’ with your family affairs, but I assure you what 1 am goin’ to say I say out of my strong friendship and desire for your happiness.” “What do you mean?” asked the terrified Mrs. Stuart. “Please tell me what it is.” “Well, there is danger of Warren being carried away by that girl,” “ Who, Helen ? ” “Yes, Helen. I know she seems very nice, and all that, that she is devoted to her little brother and excites your sym pathy, but can't you see she's playing a deep game. She's doin’ all this to entrap your son. I know her.” “Do you know any wrong of her?” “Well, she is no better than she ought to be. I know that,” and Mrs. Arnold rocked back in her chair with that air of reserved information so gratifying to a tattler. “Mrs. Arnold, I wish you would tell me what there is against Helen Lake man’s character. I don’t want a per son in my house who has a blot upon her name.” “There’s only rumors from where she came, but these, of course, couldn't be proven, she has covered them up, so it's best to say nothin’ about it; but she has determined to become your daugh ter-in-law.” These suspicions were, to use Ped dler Pete's expression, “lies made out o' whole cloth.” Having broken the ice the subject was easy to discuss. Mrs. Arnold was gratified to find her ad vice received in the manner desired. She suggested that Warren be sent away for a few weeks, and in the meanwhile that “that hired girl” be shipped, Having spent a very pleasant after noon to herself and performed her duty in what she deemed v Christian man ner, she hade Mrs. Stuart good-bye, refusing to remain fuv tea, a.ul returned borne, CHAPTER VL ADOPTING MHS. ARNOLDS PLAN. Mrs. Stuart felt not a little annoyed at the interview with Mrs. Arnold. She dismissed any thought of evil on Helen's part, save perhaps a desire to marry into a good family and secure a home for herself and brother. She could not blame the poor girl for that, for she had a hard time, “dear knows but then, she didn't want her marrying into their family, and especially the sou of whom she was so proud. Now, if she should marry Clarence, it might do. Clarence was to lx* a plain farmer, and Helen would make “ some farmer a good wife,” but Warren had been sent to college, he had a profession and must look higher than a hired girl. He must marry some lady from the city or town. The soliloquy of Mrs. Stuart was about as reasonable as the solil oquies of mothers sometimes are. When she spoke to her husband about the matter that night, he be came furious and declared that Helen Lakcman should leave the place. “She shall go at once,” the. farmer said. “I have been observing with what a skillful hand she has drawn her net about Warren. She shall not have him” “I do not think Helen is to blame,” <‘You don’t?” snapped the angry father, ft* though he blamed his wife for the mischief that had already been done. “Well, f do. I can see her schemes, and Warren’s a fool not to see them, too.” “But don’t mistreat Helen, Jacob,” said Mrs. Stuart. “I can’t help but pity the poor girl,” “I did pity her, but I don’t now. That is the thanks we get for having any thing to do with such onery trash. People always get paid for meddlin’ with ’em.” “Well now, Jacob, don’t be unreason able. You will ruin every thing by get ting mal and driving Helen away,” said Mrs. Stuart. “You will get War ren aroused, and In; will take her part and probably go with her.” “Then what would you do, Aman da?” asked Mr. Stuart, with a sneer. “Have ’em married in the kitchen and give ’em an infair in the parlor, I sup pose. No, let her go, and if Warren w ants to go with her, let him do so.
