MAXWELL’S^GOOD FAIRY.
11 WOU,d have bcen difflcult to Imagine a
greater contrast than was presented by two
"omen who were conversing together in a
small cottage house at Pendleton, one
utr?.“one was pale and sickly
looking, with woe-begone face, wearing
close mourning, and speaking in a lugubrious
tone. The other and much the younger, a
girl of sixteen, was a brilliant blonde, neatly
and becomingly dressed in a chintz suit of
blue and white with a |coqucttish chip hat
with blue feathers. Her lips and checks
bloomed with health, and her eyes were
radiant with youth’s happiness. Yet, as
her companion spoke, a shadow camo over
the lovely face and fair, out clouding the
radiance there.
“I am sure I can never he thankful
enough to dear Maxwell,” the old lady was
saying; “but it breaks my heart to think
how I’ve ruined his prospects.”
“Ruined his prospects?”
“Yes! I will tell you about it. You know
lie has been with Drewitt & Co. for ten
years, and they have agreed to take him
into partnership, but they required a
thousand dollars from him. Young New
bold is very anxious to buy a partnership.
The firm gave the preference to Maxwell.
But oh ! my dear, when he had the thousand
dollars saved, and would have been a
partner next week—only next week—my
troubles came. Just as soon as he got the
telegram that my poor husband was dead,
he came to me at Omaha. 1 had not one
dollar to put upon another. He paid for
everything, and brought me here with all
three children; and I never knew until to¬
day that he spent so much of his savings
that he must give up the partnership, and
go on working as bookkeeper.”
“And you?”
“I do not mean to be a burden upon him.
I have secured a situation at the seminary
to teach German and music, and the children
will be educated in part payment, 1 can
easily meet my expenses in the future,
Maxwell has furnished this house for me,
and has paid a month's rent. There never
was such a brother, never ; and to think I
have all that money! He never told me,
Mr. Drewitt told me about the partnership ;
a *‘d "hen I congratulated Maxwell, the
truth had to come out.”
“But it is oniy a aeiay,-- said the pretty
blonde, Ida Hunt, “he will soon save
again.”
“Not for this. Old Mr. Drewitt retires

Ida wanted to be alone. She wanted to

at her sewing in the sitting-room. After
she had brought his slippers and dressing
gown, she sat close beside him laying her
cheek caressingly upon his arm.
“Uncle John !” she said, coaxingly, “how
much money have I got of niy very own?”
‘‘About five thousand dollars, if it was all
gathered in.”
"Could I get a thousand of it?"
.. A thousand dollars! Bless my heart!
what do you want of a thousand dollar. ?"
“Please don’t ask me. I'll tell you some
time. Can I have it ?”
"Certainly you can. But really, Ida, it is
all securely invested, and it is not a large
sum, my dear, altogether. To take out one
fifth for some piece of extravagance”—
“But I want it so much—so very much,
please, Uncle John; and I want it in
money.”
“Yery well. It is your own, to koep or
waste. When do you want it?”
“To-morrow.”
“I’ll give you a eheck, then, and we will
settle the matter after I sell some of your
securities."
“Thank you! Someday I will tell you
about it.”
“ITm! Very well.”
While Ida fully intended to make a free
confession, Mr. Hunt more than suspected
the destination of the money, and in his
heart approved it.
The next day was a dull one; and Ma.JP
weil Burt, eoming into the little cottage he
had fitted up for his widowed sister, had a
weary despondent air, that went to her
heart. lie was a cixeery, light-hearted
young fellow, and was seldom depressed ;
but within twenty-four hours he knew
there must be a downfall of the hopes he
he had cherished for three years—the hope
of gaining a partnership in the firm of
Drcwitt A Co., and the hope of winning Ida
Hunt to share his life and prosperity.
“Are you sick, Max?” Laura asked,
after a long pause of dreary silence. "You
have scarcely spoken since you came In’”
lie roused himself then with a feeling
of self-reproach for bringing his troubles to
add to his sister’s burdens.
“I am only tired,” he said. “There were
but few customers to-day, and we have
been very busy winding up the business for
old Mr. Drcwitt to retire.”
, <Do _ do you stliy Ul()re ?> .
“Oh, yes !” and Max battled with a lump
in Ills throat to speak cheerfully. “I shall
keep my old plnce. No," he added, taking
LaunCh. fuce.beUrar*J»Ul«u<i-. *-•«/— •
lips, “you are not to ery I won't liavo
it.”
“But if it hail not been for me.” Laura
faltered.
“It is best as it is. I love you, dear, far
better than my business prospects.”
But down in Ills heart a sharp Jiang
reminded him of one he loved better than
either business or his sister.
“It breaks my heart,” said Laura. “Oh !
if these were only fairy-tale times!”
As she sjuike there was a rap upon the
door. A ragged urchin stood there with a
letter.
“Is Mr. Burt here? They said to his
boarding-liousc he was over here.”
“Come in ! I’m here !” cried Maxwell.
"I was to put this in your hands, sir ! and
say your good fairy sent it.”
“Who gave it to you ?”
“I don’t know, sir! It were an old
woman I never seed before, all muffled up
in a waterproof, with a calico liood oil an’
green glasses, and spoke thick like ; and sez
she : “You give this here to Mr. Max¬
well Burt, and say a good fairy sent it.’”
“It is all right, then. Here is a quarter
for you.”
“That's two. She gave me one.
lie shuffled off, then, witli tne step
peculiar to lioys who wear cast-off boots two
sizes too large for them, and Laura shut
the door after him.
“Why don’t you open it, Max ? she asked,
seeing the envelope the boy had given him
still unsealed in his hand. “Why, it is not
directed !”
It was indeed a blank envelope; and as
Maxwell slowly broke the seal two bank
notes fluttered4)ut, each for five hundred
dollars.
“Oh, Max !’*
And then Laura did cry—happy tears ;
an< l Max, putting his arms around her, did
not try to check the outburst of grateful
affection.
“Some rich man, who knows how good
you have been to me, has taken this way
to give you the partnership,” she said;
“perhaps old Mr. Drewitt himself.”
“ Perhaps,” said Maxwell. ‘ God bless
my good fairy ?”

Ten Thousand Dollars for a Drink
of Water,
In one of the hotly-contested fights of
Virginia, during the war, a federal offi¬
cer fell in front of the confederate
breastworks. While lying there, wound¬
ed and crying for water, a confederate
soldier (James Moore, of Burke county,
N. C.,) declared Ills Intention of mipjily
ing him with a drink. The bullets were
flying thick from both sides, and Moore’s
friends endeavored to dissuade him from
such a hazardous enterprise. Despite
remonstrance and danger, however,
Moore leaped the breastworks, canteen
in hand, reached the wounded enemy
and gave him drink. The federal, under
a sense of gratitude for the timely
service, took out his gold watch and
offered it to liis benefactor, but it was
refused. The officer then asked the
name of the mail who had braved such
danger to succor him. The name was
given, and Moore returned unhurt to
his jMisition behind the embankment.
They saw nothing more of each other,
Moore was subsequently wounded and
lost a limb in one of the engagements in
Virginia, and returned to his homo in
Burke county. A few days ago he re
ceived a communication from the feder
al soldier to whom he had given a ‘‘cult
of cold water” on the occasion alluded
to, announcing that ho had settled on
him the sum of # 10,009, to lie paid In
four annual installments of §2,600 each.
Investigation lias established the fuct
that there is no mistake or deception in
the matter. —Itakigh Few*.
