And Proctor Pomeroy stared almost vacantly at tho closed v written sheet he hold in bis hand. lie read .: " Dr. Pomeroy, I will not apolo gise for the unparalled 6orvice I am about to ask you.; aufBco it to Buy that I have heard your history, heard of your atrugglee to main tain yourself and invalid mother, and realizo how hard a toak it is for one young in the profession and Without friends in the great wilder- rtesa of houses called a city. Also, permit me to add, I have bean in formed of the cruel blow you re ceived from the hand ! of one you loved, who was unworthy of you, and yet I am not acquainted with you, nor you with mo.! Indeed we biive never looked upon another's; face. Nevertheless, I am about to request you to do mo a great favor. .Will TOU come to South Street Church to-n.'orrow evening at eight o'cioclc Com/> privately, unattend ed, and .never .reveal ; that which takes plaee there. Wjill you give me, an entire strainer, a lawful claim to-your name, ajad yet Dot seek to know wh6m yoli marry ? If you will do. so, S wjll rna.ke over to " you twenty thousand dollars, payable to your order at tho City Bank, as soon as tho ceremony is' over. Trusting that the money' will be a.temptation to you,.J shall anxiously await you at' the proper time." : . ' That was'all. There was bo Bigriature, nothing to give any .clue to .the writers address or ijbode. Indeedj it' was so terse, and un- feminine in its details that he was almost tempted to believe Bomo of his male friends were playing a joke on him. " I -will not .go will not bo fooled '." he said to .himself. He flunk tbe missive down, then he picked it up, folded it carefully, and thrust it into his pocket. He remembered that he had a patient to. visit, and. went out; but everywhere the contents of that strange letter was ringing in his ears. He then went to see his mother. She waa suffering even mora than usual, and a number of dunning bills had been left for. his earnest consideration J bills which he had not the remotest idea how he was to meet. He i threw them down and buried his face in his hands. j " Poverty is a curse, mother !" he groaned. "I do not know wbich w.ay to turn V | _.. "She tried to cheer- him, but m vain. Everywhere he turned, a hopeless chaos seometl to envelop him. ! - I ' Ah, if that letter were only real!" he thought. "Twenty thousand dollars would make me rich 1"" ' j And so he fretted1 and worried until the appointed !hour came in the upper part of the building, while tho minister sat iri a chair. There was but one gas jot Hghtod, and ho could just distinguiih tho forms. As soon as ho entored, the gentloman Bpoke to - ono of tho ladies, and then she advanced to meet him. " Are you Mr. Pomeroy .1" she askod, in a low tone. I am." She led him to where tho gentle man stood, and he - extended his hand. . " How do you do, Pomeroy 1" ho asked, and Pomeroy recognized in him the President of the. City Bank. " I am here by the request of this young lady," pointing to the one who had not moved or spoken, " to inform you that if you agree to her proposition, I am. authorized to pay to yotir order tho sum of twenty . thousand dollars." Pomeroy tried to speak, but his voioo was choked. It was no fraud ; it was reality. He was to bid farewell to poverty. He stood motionless for, .. mo ment, then advanced and offered his arm to tho silent lady. She took it without a quiver, and went with him to where the minister awaited them. The ceremony was quickly per formed; Doctor Pomeroy regis tered niB name, and then' -looked with considerable curiosity at the bold plain signature, " Ellen La id." r," which his bride wrote down. I The n.'iniater, hastily filled out a certificaW) which ho had brought with him I bv request, and which the maid and the banker Bijmed as witnesses: Tbe biido took it, kis sed it, and then thrust it in her bosom. One moment more and she glided; away swiftly froU Sight. Dr. Pobieroy wiped the perspira tion from1 his brow, andthen uskoJ,. J' Who is; tihe 1" " I do i not. know," said the minister. " I was requested by letter and paid to perforin tho cere mony and keep it' secret. It is perfectly lawful." " And I," said the banker, '* did not see the lady's face. She de posited the money with me, and requested my attendance here, to assure you that her promise should bo fulfilled." , ' The three men separated; the gas was turned outj: the curtain fell on the first act. The next day Pomeroy tried to realize what he had done. He had sold his namo to an unknown woman, but he thought that could not injure him. " She muat have been in deadly peril," he med'.tated, " to pay such an exhorbitant price for a ainglo name." ; Ho took an office' further up town, and removed his niotbor, to a nicer home. Patients came pour ing in ; a different class employed tho rich Doctor Pomeroy than thoso who had employed" the ..poor one. Five years had passed away, and he had gained a reputation and added considerable to his bank" ac count, lle.bad been an indefatig able worker, and now he felt that he needed rest for a while. " We iwill take a trip to Europe, mother," he said. ' It will do you more good than you ,can imagine," A great many gentle hearts felt a pang tb see the good dootor leave, although their endeavors to catch him wei."8 in vain. He felt no preference to any of the opposite sex.; he! haol recovered from his disappointment, and he never ceas ed to remember that.he was a mar ried man,',or think kindly of the unknown woman who had so radi cally changed his life. 'They travelled leisurely through the tour they had marked out be fore they started, and one night found themselves in a French ville. J About the middle of the night the doctor was awakened by .some one tapping at the door, and calling. forhiniito come out. He did bo. He found the landlord, who told him in broken English, that one of. his countrymen had just fallen down stairs in a fit, and, seeing bis name registered as An Jf. D they called i4.n1 up- He went into an elegantly fur nished room, where a ,man some fifty years of age was lying. in a dying condition. A youiig lady sat near the bed. fanning him. The doctor hastily examined the^. patient Sand found that it was im possible for him to live; but the. day nasHed,- and still another, be fore heidrew his last breath. He neveji' recovered his consciousness. The. lady told Doctor .Pomeroy^ that ho1 was her father. His name' was Eugene Sydenham, a native of England, and sho would liko to i one moment vowing he would not | have him buried where he died. ' go near the place the next tempt- They were travelling- for the bene- Xext the Ift.st OWce.MlU.Street. d to see "the face'out Eight o'clock found bim stealing in.' He saw two ladies closely yejded, and a gentleman standing fit of his health,.she went on to explain, and ha was a .widower* Her only remaining relative was a cated in tho convent of the Sacred Heart, in Puris. After Mr. Sydenham was burled, Miss Sydenham went, under the care of the Dootor and his mother, to Paris. She insisted upon them, taking up their abode where she had apartments, and so not a day passed but what Bhe was with Mrs. Pomeroy. The old lady got warm ly attached to her, and talked dole fully to her son about the time when they should be separated. Sho told them confidentially not to wonder that she did not mourn for her father, for he had endeayor- ed to wrong her so deeply that it was not love that held her to his Hide ; and that in all her life she had never beon afc happy as now that she wan free. Doctor Pomeroy' watched her. At first he wus very gallant, but at last began to be reserved and cold. A feeling which he dare not cherish was growing in his heart, and it alarmed him. "I dare"' nipt love her," he muttered to himself. " I?am bound 1" - :; Then for tho first time he fejt how heavy wort the fetters he had forged for himself. ' -She noticed the change. She tried to beguile him" to forget the grief that was evidently wearing on him; and at last, in a fit of desperation, he told her all. "1 am a married man 1" he said impetuously. "I lovejou, and I am not free to lovo 1" i She recoiled, but badt him to toll hor all. " It was cruel and unkind of her to bind you bo," she said. . " No, no I" ho ejaculated. " Sho saved mo, she blessed me, and I shall always respect her; but never did my bonds hurt me until I met you. Now I shall bo nnserahle' forever." " You may meet her." " "Impossible !" ' possible," she said, slow ly, with a sorrowful look. " I know yoac Elleri Latour. Sho lives, arid I must give you up.JI " You know her 1"- " Yes. To-morrow I will intro-. duce you to her. She is anxiou.il to see. you ; she knows you arri here, and she believed vu loved me, and wondered if you were as upright as he had always thought you to be." Ho bowed his face in his bands ; and Miss Sydenham left him. The hour had come which he had hoped for in by-gone days be was to learn to whom he was wedded; but it gave him no pleasure now. - At an early hour tho next day a sorvunt told him that Mies Lalour awaitbd him in hor private parlor,' and he wus ushered into a strango room. He scarcely lifted his oyes as he entered ; but when ho did they fell upon Miss Sydenham. " I am Ellen La tour," she said.; " That is my real name, though I never anticipated revealing the .truth to you." " Ellen Latour ?-. My wifo !" ' "Listen to my story before you blame me," she said. "The man you euw die wus. my- etepfuthei'. He married my mother when I was but five years old, and sister Ada was a taby. My mother was weakly and she died' a few: greeks later, leaving all our father's pro perty in that man'a Jiands. He was our sole guardian, to hold our property under his control until we were married or become of age. He 'placed me in the Sacred Heart, and kept me there until I was sixteen, then he brought me out and1 proposed to marry me to a friend of his. I i-ebelled. That night I overheard a conversation between them and found that he was selling me for twenty thousand dollars, that being the sum that was to be paid down to him of my property the moment Turner be came my husband., I waashocked. I had no friends to go to. He did not allow me to go into society ; I made no acquaintances, and instead of allowing me to stay in my mother's house he kept me travel ling around the country. At last, I promised td compromise; I told my stepfather to take me to Amer ica, and when I returned I would marry his friend. Ha complied, and I got my maid to gossip with one of the servants in the hotel, and by chance she told your hist ory, as her sister worked for your mother. Just before - I startod from England an uncle of my mother had died and left me twenty thousand dollars in my own right. I'had transferred it to- New Sloik and determined _to save myself with it, Hearing of you, i adopted the plan of getting , yo.u to marry me. When we returned-to England and my Btepfather commanded me to fulfil-my promise, I showed him uiy marriage certificate. He.awore, but he saw his case was lost j. I had outwitted him. I did not leave liim:; we patched up a peace you sue mo for a divoree as soon as he should die, and it would not endanger my safety." " But that intention, will never bo carried inW effect," Dr. Pome-' roy exclaimed.'" Vou will be mine forever, Ellen r " Youra forever!" >ahe answered. And when they went to See bis mother there were n6 three happier people to be found in the world. Years have paBsed cince and Ada finds a home with her sister, who never repeats that she wa4 saved from a fate worse than death by strategy. | . ERAMOSA FALL SHOW.
