and the hatfsuhex half defiant tones in which the wards were ottered were evidence of his inward rebel lion against the hateful necessity forced upon him something to eat 7 repeated the lady a kindlooking matron of about thirty five who had come to the door on seeing him approach and cast a quick comprehensive glance over his person and attire- oh yea t she added come in wbb is it mamma asked a little eager voice as a pretty child of six ram mers came from an inner room only a poor man dear who wants something toeat replied the lady there now r she continued placing a wellfilled tray upon the table bit down and help yourself the stranger obeyed r a few words would have told his story the only child of wealthy parents ralph wentworth had lived to the age of twenty in ease and luxury he had graduated with a fair record from but with no marked proclivities for any art or celling save the very agreeable and congenial one of enjoying the good things of life within a week after the brilliant festivities that had celebrated his majority his father had fallen dead in the street from a paralytic stroke leaving his family penniless in a week more his mother had sunk to the grave and the petted indulged boy was left to face the world alone with no re sources save five hundred dollars that re mained of his fathera birthday gift with the first shook of bereavement over friends dusteredaixmnd him ready to ad vise and eager to aswat in the spending of his little patrimony that once gone his friends went also ralph made a fear ineffectual efforts to obtain some employment but where the hetr of prospective thousands had been met with smiles and affability the impecunious young man now encountered supercilious looks and incredulook shrugs finally filled wiflx misanthropic disgubt- against these summer friends he had re solved to quit kew york and go he cared not where on the mprning after coming to this decision while glancing aimlessly over a paper his eye fell upon an item describ ing the marvellous di scorery of gold in the vicinity of the black hills j in an instant hii resolve was formed hewouldgd there j he muat begin at the bottom of the hoc al ladder if should at least be away frcn i the sight and sneers of those who had hel ed to bring him to this pass he had strong limbs and he would make the jour ey on foot with an occasional lift rrotn e me passing team if his strength gave oat before the goal was reached so much the better no one would care no one would niss him life had very few charms for iim the rich wine of her pleasures had ost its sparkle the bitter fruit of ster necessity must be his now perhaps forever it was in this mood that he had made his first request for a meal for the last few pennies of his slender funds had bought him a meagre dinner the day before and as he now sat eating the bountiful repast placed before him bythe generous hand of a stranger a sudden rush of emotion came over him and forced a sigh that was almost a groan from his lips what makes you feel so very bad v the little earnest voice breaking in upon his painful reverie aroused him with a start seated in a little rocker which she was genuyswaying to and fro with her hands folded m her lap and her sweet wistful eyes fixed with a searching yet sympathetic gaze upon him was the child whose pres ence he had entirely forgotten her mother had left the room temporarily and be had thought himself alone r r he could not speak for a moment then regaining more composure he said-aaswer- ing her question with another why do you think feel bad little one 1 because your face looks bo sad and you dont eat anything hardly and you almost cried just now replied the little creature bending forward and fixing an earnest gaze upon him dont you feel nappy not very happy child that is a fact and another sigh finished tho sentence are yon a had man was the next question a half smile parted balprrs pale lips why do you ask me that ho respond ed because mamma saya thai people- real good people i mean are always happy and that thev only- feel sad when they do something wijong i iupposenanmi aright aaidbajph sighing- and yet ijam not

sad like you do now djutt vou feel barry you waa so foolish indeed ido my child said the young m m with involuntary earnestness but te 1 me he added interested by her artless pr ittlei what do you do then- i telrmamma how sorry i am i and thloi she kisses me and i feel better h vent you got any mamma oraayfrienda kiss iou no j little one my mother is dead and friends are all gone the child pondered for a moment at is too bad she exclaimed thaoghtfully hen suddenly raising her little faca fer- ve tt with tender sympathy she added wilj it make you feel better if i kiss mr j there was a simple but touching pathos ne artless words that stirred the heart of th honjeless man as it had not been stirred be ore land bending forward he said with f emption i yesj 1 think it will i am sure it witl j wel i will kiss you ind s rising from her chair the child stepped ito his side and kissed the lips bent dofrn to meet hers now you wont be foolish any more wi yon she asked lideed i will try not to be t was the eai aest inswer godhless yon little one i th it is the sweetest kiss i have had since m motherdied how i wish i had a dear litt e friend like you i wil be your friend said the child ind wait for a moment j will get yon soi tething darting awayjrom his side ah left lie room returning- in a few min ute i with a small parcel in her hand see lere she said opening it upon his km e papa had my picture taken on sot e ca ds the other day and he gave me thi one to do just what i pleased with he wrot s my name on it maude evelyn gn nger i will give it to yon and when yot look at it you can think of your little frit ad and that she wants you to be good but will your mamma let yon give this to fnef asked ralph with some miagiv- m ob yes i asked her just now i told her i wanted to give you something to make yot happy arid she said very well dear ko r youll have one friend wont you yesr said the young man taking her soft little hand in his and if i should con e back again 6ome of these days and tell you that i have been real good and not fool ah any more will you lose me again to be sure i will was the earnest re- spo lsc and at that iroment the returning fooi steps of the lady were heard and ralph aroi e hat in hand t thank you kindly madam for your hos litality he said bowing with grave cou tesy for a new spirit bad been infused tote hinj by the sweet sympathy of that litt i child and he no longer felt eke a bon eless tramp goodbye e pressed little maudes hand in a close ling sring clasp raised hts hat to his bene- fact ess and uon pbice theee ceno f ve jjears had passed finding ralph we tworth still working as a common labc rer frthe mines but reckoned among the most steady efficient and faithful eve y evening when lns work was ended he i ould wander off to some secluded spot thei drawing a little package from his poclet gaze long and earnestly at the pict ired face it contained one of his fellc wworkmen had on one occasion grat ned his curiosity so far as to follow him and stole upon him unawares just as he i as raising the little aouvenir reverent ly tt his lips but the look in ralphs eye as b i turned and discovered the intruder war ted him that it would not be safe or plea iant to attempt any further investiga tion and beyond an occasional sly reference to wentworth s sweetheart no allusion was made to the matter f ngaii abstemious and selfdenying as a hen nt bis life appeared to have in it little to ej ivyr but he had a goal before his men tal ision of which they knew nothing a goal to j the attainment of which every doll r of his hardearned wages every enei ry of his life were devoted a though apparently lost to the world witl outalpb was not entirely forgotten one day a letter came for him a thick cum irousiooking envelope directed in a larg sprawling hand in the solitude of his littli ce4like room he opened it and his pale cheek flushed with a look that was aim et an ecstasy then passed ten years mor j the brilliantly lighted parlors of mrs ren inglons handsome mansion in kew yor city were filling fast with guests whe l thp hostess came quickly forward to welc sme a newcomer a lovely girl of twei ty years who was
