When the “Reliance Bank” of the
town of N——broke, there was a
wide-spread consternation.
In one room, scarcely a home,
since it was in a fashionable board
ing-house, Frank Alden and his
warm, true friend, Ralph Walton,
discussed the catastrophe.
“It does hot quite beggar mo,”
Frank was saying, “although it
leaves me eighty thousand dollars
poorer than I was yesterday. I sup
pose”—the words came very slowly
now—“I ought to release Carrio
Mapleton from her engagement.”
“She is not the girl I believe her
to be if she accepts her release,” was
the qniok reply. “ Were you going
to Walnut Hill this evening ?”
“No. I will write.”
A knock at the door, followed by
the appearanoe of a servant holding
a note, interrupted the conversation.
Breaking the envelope open, Frank
read tho tinted page, and; smiling
bitterly, said:
“Read that, Ralph, and lose your
sublime faith in womankind/’
It was a brief note, stating that in
consequonce of the failure of tho Re
liance Bank, and the changed cir
cumstances thoreby involved, the
writer did not consider it prudent to
abide by an engagement made under
more favorable auspices, and so re-
Aldan'from his promise,
have given mo time
to act the part she anticipates,” said
Frank, hastily Scrawling a reply.
“So ends that chapter.”,
Hud the gentleman in his anger
possessed cIuir-Yoyant powers, he
would have seen, in .the handsoriie
drawing-room at Walnut Hill a lit
tle figure pacing up and down, atid
a sweet, matronly woman, in close
ividow^ weeds, watohing the pale,
agitator face. He would have heard
a clear voice, painfully shaken, say :
♦'Mamma, I wrote to Frank. I
do not think ho really oares about
tho fifty thousand dollars Grand
father Bank left me, but since it is
all gone, I thought it only honorable
to write to bim and to release him.”
“Yon will have more than that,
Carry, when I die.”
•‘Hush ! hush I I never want it I
Bat I am glad papa’s money was not
jn tlmt horrid bank. Still, the
other way my very own, and Frank
may huve counted upon a rich
wife.”
“I misjudge him, dear, if he al
lowed tile loss' to influence him.
Who took your note ?”
“James. He has had time to go
and return. I hear ihis voice now.”
It was a cold, trembling hand that
tore open Frank’s hasty note, and
bine eyes, dim with tears, read the
brief contents :■
“You are quite right. When
poverty comes in at tlio door love
flies out of the window. An old
proverb suiting our cose to a
nicety.” 'WhH? \
That wap all.
“Ho need not have insulted me,”
said Carrie, angrily. “That is all a
man’s love is worth.”
Then she sped away to her own
room to hide her bitter tears. For
she loved Frank Alden with her
whole true heart.
“I suppose he knows papa left
everything to mama,” she thought,
“and that if she marrios again, or is
displeased with me, she can leave
her money wliero she pleases.”
And Frank Alden, with his heart
as fall of bitterness, packed a trank
and joined his friend Ralph Walton
iu a journey to the West, to invest
the remnant of his fortune in a
speculation.
In had been a summer-time love
making that ended in binding these
two hearts together, and Mrs. Maple-
ton hoped Carrie’s grief would bo as
short-lived as that summer of love.
4
But she was grieved to note that the
girl seemed to grow hard in hor ro
sentment. She was more than prnt
ty, though very slender and fair-like,
having a pure blonde beauty and
faseinating manners.
It was the first season she lmd
been in sooiety, when sho mot Frank
Alden at Newport, and gave him
hor pure young heart. 1 v ' \
But afterwards she lived for four
years in a vortex of gaiety, and on-
joyed the unenviable reputation of a
totally heartless flirt. She had lost
tho girlish freshness that had made
her so attractive to Frank Aldon,
and had acquired a hundred be
wildering charms that dazzled the
adtuirors who followed wherever she
led.
But alone, she was listlosB, weary,
full of regrot and a dreary self-re
proach for her wasted life.
It was fonr years after the bright
summer wooing that ended with the
failure of the Reliance Bank, when
Russell Boyd attached himself to tho
corps of Maploton suitors, and sun
ned himself in the sweetness of Car
rie’s soft, blue eyes and gracious
sihilo. It was all tho porfootion of
acting, but the childlike freshness
of Miss Maploton’s blonde boa
had not departed, and her mum
was wont to suit her stylo.
Being a millionaire, Ru
never imagined a woman could play
with his lioart, and was graciously
rosolving to place Miss Mapleton up
on the. throne of many a wistful
damsal’s ambition, as his wifo, when
Ralph Walten came to Conway,
where they were all passing the July
weeks., c , \ *v\|
He was very ! cold to MiaS Carrie,
but fast friends with Russell Boyd,
whom ho had known before the eld

grave reply, “and I am glad to do

trunk of u great tree as they passed

She would tell her secret, her re
solve to no one, but Mrs. Mapleton
was surprised at tho sudden desire

And Carry married bim, but
never measured culico in the store,
for Mrs. Mapleton bought and fur
nished a home for tho young couple,
and tottled fifty thousand dollars
upon her only child. And the West

given up, and Fronk Alden bad his
