matter of serious consideration to Mehy’s

’
it was clear that the friendship could
not go on in this way, but yet, nothing
was dono toward curbing it, except oc
cantonal hints, which had the effect upon
Mi hy of making her see the incongruous
nature of the friendship, and when she
became of the age of twelve it was ap
parent to herself without any telling that
such an intimacy must be curbed, that
she was no longer coddled a baby, and ccrald not
be kissed and and carried about

always been, until it seemed part and

awakening to this, on his part, was mat
^ their meeting, the year she had
readied the age of twelve, she did not
rush at him and kiss him, but simply pnt
out her hand, and said “How dv’e do,
j a be f” Then the long tramps through
the woods were done away with, and the
j, 0 urs of association cut down, such, for
instance, as sitting out ia the arbor at
night until 9 o’clock, while Mehy told
him stories about what she had read and
l M .eli taught at school.

| “Get married some time 1” How it
made Jabez jump! He went awav
thinking of it, and of what Mehy had
said about his leavihg his present life
and striking out in the world. Yes, it
was true, and so he announced to his
grandfather intention that going very night, declaring
his of immediately to
New York and seekmg a situation At
ursttho old man was ravmg, and de
dared positively against it, but finally
carmed down and said nothing. Jabez
went oil to bed, bnt not to sleep. He was
excited, and lay iip there with his eyes wide
open, looking at the big house. He
knew which , . . v/ere H the windows of Mehy , a
room, and he could always toll when she
came up to bed by the light, and when
she went to bed bv its extinguishment.
T y 8 night he lay there, open-eyed,
nn til he knew it must be midnight, and
was just trying to coax himself to sleep
w hen he saw a bright light flash up from
tho ^ windows of instant? the big house. He
was 0 t ot bed in an and before
the light hail a chance to fairly show
itself, he hod got on his pantaloons—no
other garments save the shirt he slept- in
-and was rushing hare-footed and bare
headed to the burning building. When
he got there the flames had burst
through the roof, and the frightened ser
vanits were rushing hither and thither,
trying to save something and as n nat

tugging violently at an iron box and

hold of it, he had a chance of displaying

the Drawback family, consisting of Mrs.

could see nothing. But he groped his
way to the window and opened it. As
though in a dream he saw the people lie
low and heard them scream. In another
moment ho had the senseless figure upon
the bed, wrapped in a light blanket and
iu his arms, and was making his way out.
The stairs were on fire, and dense smoke
rolling up. Stuffing an end of the
blanket into his mouth, ho staggered on, ;
insensible, to the tire, aud soon found
himself in the open air, surrounded by
shouting himself people. The next place ho
found was in a strange bed, m a
strange oil, room, with wrapped Drawback up in raw ootton and
and the family
Mehy leaning over him.
She was a little buriuvlon the feet and
hands, but not enough, the doctor said,
to make scars. Jabez was very badly
burned and would be scarred for life,
but his face and hands, steange to say,
had been spared. He had iain eight
hours insensible, and had been carried
to the porter’s lodge bv Mr. Drawback’s
orders, instead of to liis own home.
It was a week before Jabez could get
about, and six weeks before ho was fit to
^K.nk again of his project of going to
^ew York. In the meantime two events
had happened. The dav Hon. Martin hod
come to Jabez one and said: “Jabe

death. After the
Drawback looked over the effects, and
the latter whistled a long whistle as lit
exhumed from an old leather trunk cer
tain documents, among which was a will,
and said:
“By Jove ! Jabe, I thought the . old
man had something, but this beats all.
Jabe, you are a rich man.”
s » 7 was a iact. No,, omj nad the
old ,, man left a fortune m city property
carefully invested, with the Hon. Martin
and an old friend in New’ York as exeeu
tors, but there was a second will of
Jabez's father, leaving another hand
some property to his only son, Jabez.
The principal to be paid him when he
became twenty-one, with Christopher
Gray as sole executor. The old man’s
accounts were correct to a hair and there
was no trouble in administering. The
only trouble now was what was to be
done with Jabez. He wanted to lie a
lawyer and so he went to college
He had seen Mehy, and Meliv had
kissed him when they met, and told him
how much his year had improved him,
and when he went away to college she
had kissed him y«T again, and from that
time for three re she saw him not
again. The Hon. Martin had taken his
family to Europe, Munich where Mehy was left
at school in for two years and
for another traveled through and over
the continent
Then Jabez was off on his college va
cation. and he heard of the brilliant and
beautiful Miss Mehy Green, who was
filing across New York society, but
he did not meet her. He went to New
port, and was soon a marked man. He
was 21 uow, rich, handsome and, by
bard study, accomplished, and the
marriageable girls looked sharply after

garden party when his attention was at
