- TRUE AS STEEL. ‘
A Pretty Girl's Mistake and How
It Was Rectified. ;
[sELECTED. ]
‘I do wonder why these little
savages arc allowed to make a coast
ing hill ot the public highway I’
erumbled an uncommonly pretty
girl, as she hesitated in great per
turbation half way up the impro
vised slide mentioned.
It was an irregular and rather
preciptous cross street of asuburban
village. It was treachously icy and
swarming with juvenile coasters,
one of whom had ecarried a strip of
silk flounce with him as he darted
past her.
‘lt is quite too bad! and my
very nicestidress, too,” she com
plained, mentally, as she stopped
to draw back and pin together the
damaged bit of drapery. l
In the annoyance of the moment
she did not refleet that somethingl
more unpleasant was quite possthle
if she were not vigilant. |
She was quite too cngrossed toI
hear boyish shouts of warning iu’
the road above her, or to see an
agile fizure that was springing af
hightedly toward ber,
A big sled. treighted with half a
dozen reckless wrchins had started
dow.: the tempting descent; om the
glassy track it had become partly t
unmanageable ; in a second nore |
it would be upon her unless she?
heed those warning shouts or
& miracle interposed to savel
her.
- Before she really had time to
comprehend her peril or understand
the sudden, shrill voeiferation,
there was a wild whirring in the
air and A tingling shock, and the
next ivstant she felt herself vios
lently whirled aside by a strong
’:mn. which had seized ler as the
sled flew past.
The agile figure of a manly pe
destrian, whose afirizhted gestures
she had uot mnoticed, had flung
himself between her and death, or
worse, and she was safe,
Asshe struggled to her fest a
ery of gratitude and pity quivered
from her startled lips.
She fully realized what hér peril
had been and her pity was for her
bandsome rescuer, who was lying
stunned and bruised and bleeding
before her,
‘Oh, what can T say to you?’—
what ean I do?” she faltered, in a
distressing voice, as she bent over
him,
His handsome features were
alarmingly pallid, and there were
tiny drops of warm red blood stain
ing the frozen snow which pillowed
his fallen head.
But the bright dark eyes uns
closed with a fla.ixing smile which
was delightfully tranquilizing.
‘Say only that I have made a
charming friend,” he sn.iled, as
with a wince of pain he uplifted
himselt to a sitting posture. ‘Tam
rot badly hurt I have a surface
gash on my cheek, I think, and I
have a notion there is a sprained
fimb. I shall uot be able to g('ti
to my destination—that's certain,”
lie added, as he made an heroie ut‘
tempt to stand upright, only to
sink agoin with a suppressed
groan,
Just then the big sled was hauled
back up- the street, the reckless
consters all penitent and terri
fied, and eager to render every ser
vice,
| A helpful idea brightened the
| ivi’s anxious face.
| It would be an hour before prop-
Eer assistance could be brought to
| you here,’ she said, in her quick,
| sweet, girlish voice. ‘But there is
| & dear, motherly old body livingin
| that little cotiage at the top of the
{hill. Let the-boys put you on the
'; sled and tgke you up to her. She
lis my friend and she will do what-|
lever I wish.” ‘
| Andsoa few minutes later the
’ injured young gentleman was snng—’
ly ensconsed on a cosy lounge of
the ccsy little eottage and a phy=
sciun hd, been st for, | |
‘Ah, you wiil be ull right again
in a’ few days,” the doctor said
checrfully, ‘oqi{f%yég must keep
| yourself perfectly quiet, and not
i try to exert yourself in any way.’
4l can reconcile myself to the
situation easily if you will promise
*¢ cheer my imprisonment occa—
sionally,” the gentléinan said, with
one of his flashing smiles toward
the pretty girl, who readily proms
ised what he seemed so eagerly to
| desire.
' And that was the beginning of
, pretty Dorinda Grey’sacquaintance
“with the handsome young stranger
whom she had exalted to a Lero—
'a king among men.
i He had done only what any oth
er man would have done in similar
circumstances He had simply
‘soatched her away from the track
of the flving sled. He had per
ceived no risk to himself, no sacrhi
fice; he had been safely beyond i
any collision with the coaster - it|
was his own awkward stumble on i
the treachcrously glassy incline !
which had caused his mishap, The
peril was over when he had slip
ped upon one of his heels and fal
len. It might have happened justi
the same even it he had not hast-!‘
ened gallantly to the rescue of a
distressingly pretty girl. |
But these were trifling little'
truths which he did not de#m ab- |
solutely necessary to reveal, It
was too pleasant to posz as a
wounded hero, and to have his
temporary confinement enlivened
by the visits of his geacéful and
interesting new acquaintance. For
his own sake he preterred not to
spoil her little illusions on the sub
cct.
And g 0 Dorinda went homeward
( taking with her the image of a fas
| inating young stranger, whose
! tones were like music, whose brill
| iant black eyes had gazed admir
i ingly, almost tenderly, into her
own,
‘ Her own great brown eyes were
bright as stars, her cheeks flushed
i with a curiously wavering rose
i tint, as she at length entered the
'fine old yellow stone mansion at
! the further cnd of the village
| street,
’ “What on earth has kept you so
long, Dodo ¥ queried a tall and
stately young lady in an elegant
merning dress ot Sevres blue satin.
i ‘Did they have the kind of pacha
| braid I wanted at the store t—ooF
' did you forget your errand, and
stay all this time gossiping with
that simple old Mrs, Merron I’ |
The rose tint decpened to erim
|son on Dodo’s pretty cheeks, but‘
| she did not choose to explain what
had deterred her at Mrs, Merron's
cottage on the hill.
‘I eouldn’t get the braid, Greta;
they d#n’t keep it' she answered.
‘lt is a bonnet braid, anyhow, and
that wouldu’t do for your dress.’
‘A bonnet braid ! dear me! How
stupid a country dressmaker ean
lbe ! Gretclien exelaimed impati-l
\ ently, ‘But if she will only have
the dress finished somehow by the
‘time M. Lestrange gets here I
l won’t grumble ahout minor b}un-!
ders. And uwow, Dodo, do be ob-l
liging and help me with the
! trimmings of the ancient ball
[ gown.’ ‘
‘lt is too ancieat to be rejuvens
»zed, Greta, it ought to be replased
by a new gown altogether,” said
Dode, looking with decided reluc
tance at the task sugcested.
‘lt depends oa you, Dudo, wheths
er we, any of us, ever have any
thing new again,” sighed a faded
little woman from her invalid chair
before the fire.
Dodo looked distressed, and all ’
thelovely colorsuddenly paled from
her pretty cheeks. ‘
‘Oh, aunty, how does it depend :
on me ?' she faltered, although she :
guessed what wes meant by the‘
allusion, |
% % * * |
‘I think you will never quite!
forget the hours which we havci
passed together here,” he said with |
seemingly a regretful glance around i
the room, and at motherly Mrs, |
Merron, asleep over her kpig;ingl
before the fire. "“They have been i
hours to be remembered by hoth
of us.” +
oo ad beut over her until his
S
head; he had clasped both. her
bands, There was the tenderest
significance in his musical tones,the
fascination of what seemed ten
derest love glowed in the brilliant
eyes.
Dodo trembled. She had made
him her hero undoubtedly ; but in
that instant her whole beiug re
:coiled trom*him. Why, she could
‘not have explained ; she only knew
she was aroused somchow to a true
knowledge of her own feelings.—
He had charmed her tancies for
the moment, perhaps, but no love
—sweet and supreme—would ever
thrill her soul for him,
‘T ought to have gone before,’ he
continued, uneasily, as if he were
dreading some reproach from Dodo
herself. ‘But I was hardly pre
sentoble with a puffed and purple
bruise decorating a goodly half of
my countenance. Aud my desti
nation is nearer than you guessed,
Dodo ;#my dear little girl, you
and I are to meet again, and, I
trust, otten.’
Dodo noticed the uneasiness of
his tones, his entire changed ex:
pression, and with a sudden,
quick instinct, she grasped the
trath : l
“You are—are—Mr. Lestrange? |
she gasped, with a strange look in |
her big brown eyes. ‘You are
my cousiv, Greta’s promised huss
band.’
He bowed in a manner so con
scious and embarrassed that all
Dodo’s henest little soul arose to
hot indignation against him.
He was no longer a hero in her
sight. He was an insincere, shal
low trifler, who had amused hime
self with her simple blushes at his
practiced flattery.
Such sublime audacity, such
consummate falsity, stunned her.
With a look of withering scorn
she turned and lett him in utter
disgust.
‘I pity Greta, cross and selfish as
she is,” Dodo thought, as she went
slowly up the steps of the old yel
low stone mansion,
As she entered the pleasant fam
iy sitting room Greta pressed rude
ly and sullenly past her and trip
ped up the stairs.
Mrs, Grey was weeping almost
convulsively in her invdlid chair
before the fire,
‘What has happened, auunty?*
the girl queried, anxiously and at
fectionately.
Dodo was sincerely attached to
her invalid aunt, whose trials had,
indeed, been many and grievous,
‘lt is that mortgage, was the
piteous answer. ‘There is to be an
immediate toreclosure. We shall
be absolutely homeless; there won't

Greta’s acccunt—she can earn her
own living if she chooses; bput
there are the poor children-—Toms
my and Willy ! What will become
of them ¥
Dodo sto ped and kissed her
aunt in gentle sympathy, but she
was silent, '
o ‘Dodo, I can’t ask you to do
anything that might make vou un~
happy,’ the weeping women res
sumed, ‘and it seems cruel to re
mind you that I have been like a
mother to you, DBut, my dear, it
you only would consider everything l
and then decide to do what I
would Jike. And David is waiting
for you, dear. He is in the pars
lor now.’
Dodo’s pretty face flushed with
a sudden sense of her own lack ofi
feeling for others. She had not‘
counsidered everything as she might
have done—that was certain, i
Mrs, Girey had indeed been like k
a mother to her. In her orphancd |
and peuniless childhood she had |
been taken into the family as one |
of their own. She had shared and
shared alike with thewm in every
thing; no hint of her dependence
had ever been permitted to pain
her. Even the selfish and some-‘
times disagreeable Greta had t.l'cal;-1
ed her entirely as a sister. And
when the dear, kind uncle left
them she wourned him as one who
bad been to her like an indulgent
father. - ' |
The flush had vanished from her
pretty cheeks; her face was pale
and her large brown eyes very te
rious as she opened the parlor door
abd advanced rawper thddly to

Lue serious eyes aropped and her
VOICe chosed as she grlced b Lug
earnest face and fine Saxon looking
figure of her patient and true oid
lover.
How could she have tried to shut
her foolish heart against the love
of one all noble and loyal ever? she
wondered,
But she meant to be frank with
him ; she would confess all her fol'-l
ly—she would even tell him about'J‘
that dreadful mortgage, and then, |
if he loved her no longer, she eduld
not blame him. |
He misinterpreted the agitation
of the pale face, and checked the
confession before it was begun.
‘Tam not here to hurry your
answer, Dodo I" he said very gent
ly. ‘You shall have your ewn
tune about that my darling. I
bave come on quite a different. er.
rand. I have just learned that
your aunt has heen threatened
with some financial troubld, and T
have ventured to adjust the matter
by buying the mortgage. I know
how hard it weuld be for her to
give up the old home, and how
hard it would be for you to see her
in such distress when she has al
ways been such a good mother to
you. And so I just took the affair
in my own hands and her trouble
is ended, Wy, Dodo, my little
love, what is this? he finished -in
surprise. ‘
For Dodo had suddenly flung
herself face downward on the sofa,
and was erying usif her heart‘
would break. 3
‘And it was the mortgage which ;
had come between you and me,
Dasid,’ she cried, with a nerveus
laugh mingling with the sound Ofi
tears. ‘I wouldu’t marry you just
because poor aunty wanted youx"
