TWOHEARTSANDADANK Remember you can get Dublin Post and the Savannah Weekly New* one year for only $2.25. 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 er Boyd made a cool million in army contracts. S° it befell tliftt, ono d&y, sftun- toring in a shady grove, Carry Map leton oamo suddenly upon tho two, seated upon a fallen log, exohanginj cbnfideiico. She could not puss un- seen, so she drew back a little, jut» as Ralph Walton said : “Oh, no doubt slio will accept you the mercenary little flirt, I suppose you never heard how Bho jilted Aid on ? No, you were in Europe at the time.” “Frank Alden ? I missed him.” before robe that must bo supplied tho summer guests arrived. “I thought you did all your shop ping in New York,” her mother i. “But I want a lot of little things. Yon shall not be bored with them, mamma. I will drive over to N alone.” Sho had found out where the new store of Francis Alden was sitqatod, and drove diioctly to tho door. Ilor face was very pale, as sho entered tho store, asking for Mr. Aldon. In tho counting-house.” the clerk'told Jier. And she. found him there, alone. , Very gravely, but with porfoot courtesy, ho greeted her, his face a shade paler at sight of' bor. “I have como,” sho said, steadily, but with downoast oyos, “to explain a mistake I made four years ago;” His heart gave ono quiok, suffoca ting throb, but he waited for her to sho continued. "r m " ut you li Wait, please.There is change in my stylo of living, cause mamma is very rich, but hor monoy is hor own, to leave to me or not, as she pleases. The fifty thous and dollars was miao, and when I lost it I thought it only right to re lease you from' your engagement to a,punniless girl. I never know uu~ wus in the samo bank.” “And I had never even beard you had ft fortune*” said Frank,; oagovlv. “I know.your mother was rioh, and that you lmd a life of ease and lux ury, and whon I found mysolf a poor man I meant to free you.” •‘And I anticipated you; But you understand now,” Carry said, pleadingly. “I understand now,” was the grave reply, “and I am glad to do you justice;.but lam still put a poor man. Loving you with my wholo heart, I dare not ask you to leave your splendid home to share my very limited means.” * • “You do lovo me, Frank ?” o-"o “Ah, Carrie, it has boon my bit— I thought his father left a hun- ter pain for four years that I could Ul$§yi§!i&”,iffoot ceuso to love you.

She would tell her secret, her re solve to no one, but Mrs. Mapleton was surprised at tho sudden desire for quiet in hor little daughter. “I am homesick, mamma,” she nrgod. “We will have no visitors at Walnut Hill fur a month.
