HELL’S SDCCES3.
“Nall, do for meroy’s sake slop that
efei’U'tiog scratch, scratch ; it sets me
nearly crazy !” Aod Sue Lorn twisted
her smooth forehead into the most im*
patient iiown, and tossing her sewing
irom her, came to the table where her
sister sat writing.
Nell raised her tired eyes to her sis
ter's face and smilingly answered :
“It does not seem much nse, to be
ame, bat perseverance must conquer,
and ibis is all I can do—and that not
very well/’ And Nell turned again to
her wx iiing.
Sue’s face softened, and, stooping
down, she kissed the bowed head lov
ingly and went back to her sewing.
It can’t last always, Nell, dear. The
tide must turn,” she said as she took
up the little lace dress she had been
making.
It was tbe same sad story read in so
many lives. The sisters had been nur
tured ia luxury and ease, and then on
the death of Hieix bankrupt father were
thrown upon the world to shift lor
themselves.
Nell, the elder, a tall, stately bru
nette, who, after the death of hor moth
er, had ruled her father's elegant home
with a dignity beyond her year, of
course held the leading-strings, and
poor li> tie confiding blue-eyed Sue, fol
lowed her guidance.
Always willy and bright, a good stu
dent and Wiiter, Nell had at first tried
(o ob.aiu a position as governess or
companion ; but finding the in 'l ket in
that line already overstocked, and
thinking, 100, that that would leave hor
sister lo a lonely bailie, she obtained a
few scholars in music, and then turned
he; attention to writing; and Sue, aL
Ways on adept with her needle, did
what she could toward assisting to the
support in that wry.
But poor Nell!—it was a hard battle
with her. Many and many a rnanu*
script bad she carefully prepared and
pos'ed with trembling hand to the edi
tors of the many periodicals in the busy
city ; sod many a we-ry hour had she
looked in vutu for an answer of some
kind to the labors of so many days.
Once iu a while she received a few
dollars from some paper whose stock at
ihat time had been short, but never a
commending word or a request that ihey
might bear iVom her again.
So at eh, scratch, went the pea.—
Rack, tack, to her weary brain aod
tired eyes. “Perseverance must win,”
she would say to herself over and over
again, and then would picture t s
the result. a quiet lille cottage with
Sue and herself living together in com
fort again, and then her hopes would
be dashed to the ground by the receipt
of a ca ci’ullv-wiuten manuscript in her
own fair hand, marked “Returned.”—
Poor Nell! It was disheartening, in
deed, but nevertheless scratch, sc atcb, 1
went lac pc severing pen until See
bu st ionii with the remark with which
we opened.
That day Nell had been more than
ever disiie. rlened. but (rue to her char
ac er b: and woiked all the harder, and
at last, wbea Sue rose to prepare their
frugal meal, she threw down her pen,
excl 'imiog:
“There, done at last 1 I noticed an
ooer of a prize for the best siorv in the
G Magazine, and I have tried for
it, and shall take it to the editor my
self this a ternoon. It is different from
my o/uer xri iQ~B, and there is a faint
chance of i ; s success,” with a rude
g’ance at (he t. ble strewn with rejected
efforts. “Any way. I shall try,” and
hurrying down her dinnei, she kissed
her sister and with a piayer for suc
cess, stalled into the street.
About 3 o’clock one afternoon Will
Newbold, editer and proprietor of tue
G Magazine, was seated tilted back
in his comfort able office, slowly read
ing from a pile of manuscripts on the
table before him, and curling up bis
haudsome Piistocratic nose as be did
so.
‘ All t r.s’i—worse than (rash—what
do people write such stuff for and poke
it upon us poor editors to read ?” and
knocking the ashes from his cigar he
came down from his perch with a
thump to reach another. “Humph !
worse still P he added, as “The Patted
Lovers ’ met his eye. “Not worth the
paper it is writ!en on.” he soliloquized.
“I how do you do, rnadame ?”
he said, rsing immediately, as a tall,
graceful form entered the door. “Jove!
what handsome eyes she has !” as he
met the dark, tired ones ot his yisi
tor.
“I beg your pardon, sir, but I have
an article I wish to add to the list of
pnze stoiies advertised for by your
magazine,” said Nell Lorn, for it was
she who had so startled tbe would-be
editor; then, with a pleading look, i
“Please do all you can for me, sir; I
need it so much.”
‘ Certainly, cedainly,” said tbe em
barrassed editor, and with that she
le“c him, and Will sat down in bis chair
with the manuscript in his hand.
“By Jove! Did I ever see such a
beauty ? And yet how tired her eyes
looked, she has worked herself blue !
What has she given me, I wonder, and
what is her name ?” and opening the
manuscript, “JP severance” met Uis
eye. “Sounds solid 1” he said, “and the
name *E. L.,* that is very unsatisfac
tory, ‘E. L.’ Hum!’* and handsome
Will leaned back and t led to continue
his reading, but Hie tired eyes were be
fore him. and the initials “E. L.” still
tantalized him. so that, thrusting aside
other articles, he dived into ‘'Perse

ly, for she—poor girl I—was tired
out. ,
First prize, 9200 ; second, SIOO ;
th ivu, SSO. Even SSO would make me
happy, and oh 1 lxow comfortable we
could make ourselves to start the com
ing winter ! Sue needs a dress, aod so
do I, and fuel and )i;ht, ete. ; but I
must not be like (he milkmaid in tbe
lube,” and she smiled wearily.
And then she (bought what a hand,
some mao tbe editoir was, “and bow
embrn raised be seemed for a moment,
uud how funny be looked at me 1”
Nell sini’ed ibis time not quite so
wearily, and blushed just a little, and
theu rel umed io lxer castle-building.
A few days passed, during whleh
Nell liad been ou pins and neeales with
anxiety—-so much so that not a word
could she write, so dropping her pen
she devoted herself to real.
“A terrible waste of lime,” she
would say, '‘out what can Ido 7 Those
disconnected things would never be ac
cemed, and if 1 rest I shall only be the
bei.er able to work again,” and she
w.iied.
The day at last arrived when Ihe
magazine was issued, and hurrying to
the nearest news-vore, Nell broke her
last live dollar bill o buy it. Airaid
to open it, she rushed home.
“Sue, look ; I can no;—I am afraid
to l’ t she said, her eyes bright and her
face flushed with excitement.
Sue smiled to see ker dignified sister
so off her gua’d, and opened the maga
zine. Tbe first page a picture, the
second !—Sue dropped the book and
riew to her sis er. f
“Nell, dear! oh, Nell I I can’t be"
lieve it.”
Nell jumped and pioked up the mag
azine.
“Perseverance,” by “E. L.” “First
prize awaided,” headed the page. Nell
lost ter digni-y then, and dragging li(-
tlo Sue down into her lap she cried and
cried.
But joy can be borne by any one,
and soon she was able to pick up too
uiagrzineaod read it through, then
laughed, and with her eyes glisten ng
through her tears, said ;
“Sue, just toiuk of it, it was the
very srr- ch, sera ch that nearly and ove
you c.rzy, and look what it bungs!”
Then she jsowed up again—Nell k:d

nor was he smoking, but be sat as

he was. “E. L.” would suiely be in
that siternoon, and “he would make

then Will’s quick ear beard a footstep,
aod atraighteuing Uis al eady straight
tie, he rose to meet tbe tall, gracelul
for n just entering the door.
No need io make the dark eves
dsnee, they are dapeng aPeady, and if
Will had thought the face handsome
the last lime ho saw it, what was it
now 7
“Good morning. mi°s. Allow me lo
congratulate you.” he said, inter, nyning
her but lied thanks. “I take g eat
pleasure in present ing to yon the amount
of the fi:st prise, Lying a scrip bill in
her smaM gloved hand, and adding, “I
should be pleased to have you as a reg*
ular writer, i c you are not elready 100
much engaged.”
Oh, Nell 1 your good star has ap
peared pgain. Almost too ove r come to
speak, she faltered out her thanks, and
6i ailed for tbe door.
“I beg your pax don, miss,” said Will
—“if you will leave me your name and
addrers.”
“Certainly, sir,” she said, fining
her voice at last, “most willingly. How
cat I ever thank you?”
“Thank yourself, my de3t ms , .” said
Will, then blushed at bis audacity. “I
did not w. iie tbe piece.”
Nell smiled bxightlv, and after hand
ing him a neatly-written card, bid him
“good a.' erooon.”
Poor Will! now it was his turn.—
He mined the little card over and
over.
“Eleanor Lorn,” he said to himself'
“Nellie—ao, Nell would suit her be

Jove! but sue is handsome! And

then be blushed. “L am a fool!” he
said.
Meanwhile Nell was in ec3' cies.—
How bappv she was, and what a bannv
future she promised herself! And Sue
should not spoil her pretty blue eyes
over such bard woik. A permanent
engagement I Bliss ! Could it be her
self? and she laughed rgaiu at the
thought of the rejected nunnsc ipt a at
home, and when she eached /jere she
lit ihe fiie ior sun n er with vheoa.
Such bappv days .ollowed! Her
works af er (hat seemed .o be be.ler an

And Will would think, “How re

to w*lk borne with her some time, if I
dared ! What power she has in those
dark eyr —they are fairly magnetic
I am a>raid my'doom i* sealed!” The;

One afternoon Nell went into the ed
itor’s office with her weekly article, and
Will was nos there. She left it with
the clerk, but when doing to inquired
for Mr. Newbold.
“He is ill," said the clerk, and Nell
went home.
Why did she feel so sorry 7 Nell, I
sm afraid you are tasting the “forbid
den fruit.” What is it lo you if tbe
handsome smiling face of Mr. Newbold
is not there t o meet you 7 What is it
to you if he is sick 7 Ah, Nell, show
your good sense 1 And after a little ar
guing with hcself ehe does, for she dis
covers she thinks entirely too much of
the handsome face and genial manner
of her employer, and “what good will
it do 7” she asks herself.
After that the mail carriers delivered
tbe neatly written pages, and Will
looks in vain ior thejall, graceful form,
and bright eyes be ib'Dks so much of.
“It is better, I guess,” he thinks,
“for what good will.it do 7”
Three weeks pass, and Nell’s months
ly payment is due, and one evening she
is sitting by the bright fire thinking
that Lo-morrow she will have to go. and
she is not sorrv, 1 regret lo sav. Suo
is not well 10-nighl, and has retired,
and Nell is alone.
She makes a very striking picture,
leaning her solely head against the
old-fashioned firc-pluce, her dark hair
braided in a thick coronet about her
head, her dark eyes covered by the
while lids, tint droop until the long
lashes sweep her cheek, her bands
clasped in her lap, and the five casting
fantastic shadows over her dark dvcsix,
and throwing a mellow light on her
oval i'ace. A shock sounds t wice on
(ho door before she hears it, then start
ing un, she opens it.
“Good evening, walk io, sir,” she
said lo the supposed s(;anger.
“Good evening, Miss Loin,” said ihe
familiar voice of Wrn. Newbold.
She starts and hones the dimness of
the light will hide her blushes, as mur
muring a few polite words she lights
the lamp on the (able, snd rushes a
chair toward him.
But Will saw ihe blush, and inward
ly gloated over it; perhaps it w: s
“some good” a ler all!
“I called. Miss Lorn, to deliver this
little package,” handing her an envel
ope, “which was due a few days ago,
aud as you did not call, and have not
for some time, 1 feared you were ill,
though you were Siill prompt with your
articles.”
“Ob. no,” she said, “I am perfectly
well only I—l had not (ime enough to
come—l —’’and -here, blushing pahi"
fully, she broke down, and ined to tarn
ibe conversation. But Will saw it all.
and quietly but with twinkling eye 9,
said:
“Well M'ss Lo n, I do not need you
ps a Wiiter aay longer,” then seeing the
pained look in the quickly raised eyes,
“but, Nell, I want you for a wife !
Nll, I know whv you did not come.—
Oa ! Nell, do you not love me 7 Is it
really so 7”
Aod Sue look : ng through the partly
