was free frank and genial beloved and hon ored by his male associates and smiled upon most tenderly by his female friends young and old albert elberton crawled out from amongst the rains of the car in which- he had ridden shook himself end thanked ilelvea for his safety bat a single mom ent did he give of thought of his own coa- dition the destruction of a hat or coat was nothing bodily he vras all right and he mast give of his tridiminishod strength to the help of others lcis fortunate lie remembered a young lady who iiadoccnpied a seat near him in whoi- appearance he had become decply interested and itstruck him that she mast be somewhere beneath the crushed and broken mass from which he had himsell crawled he had become in crested inner an entire stranger because she had been so pcetty and as well so modest and becansi elie had appeared to be so lonesome and melancholy as though moorning the loss of a friend near and dear in form she had been plump and email her eyes of 11 cerulean blue her hair golden and her features tdmph lovely where was she with desperate eagerness he went at the work of searching for j her and his efforts wire richly rewarded he found her beneath an overlying imass of debris and by the putting forth of a prodigious strength and the exercise of a little care and circum spection h6 drew her forth not only alive bat not very seriously harmed though at the mommt he feared that she had been hurt mdsj cruelly blie was weak and faint and sorely frightened and could neither walk nor stand so without any hesitation whatever he took her up into his strong arms with her head pillowed safely and resffolly upon his shoulder and bore her away from the scene of disaster elberton was fortunate enough to find a house the good woman of which kindly and cheeriallj took his fair burden from him promising that all should be done for her i that could be done- he found a phyracan j as quickly as possible who made a critical eiamination in the end reporting no bones broken no internal injury that was mani- f est but only a severe shock to the system with a few slight bruises and a simple sprain to one of the ankles as soon as the young man iuki been assured that he coald be of no more help and tllat all shoald go on well in his absence he returned o the wreck of the railway train to render such further assistance asee could and he did mnchj i he worked an hour or moire and then went back lo the house where be had kft his waif of the wreck and his heart beat with an emotion that was absolutely new to him somehow tbe sight of that fajr girl the saving her from perhaps deatfr and the bearing her- in his arms close against his bowm her head resting upon his shoulder with the tender light of herf cerulean eyes more than once beaming gratefully upoohim this had touched his heart asit had never been touched before he wondered who she was he hoped he knew not what his thoughts were in a whirl r he reached the house and entered he met the hostess and he told iiiia that the young lady had gone no no 1 it could iiot be the lady he had left there where was she barely she was gone a gentleman had come who had been an the train her uncle the hostess thought and with him had come the phywian who had ciamhied her at first and when the gentleman had been told that it would be iafe o move her he went away and procured a carriago and came with it and took her away she asked after jou sir and seemed anxious to bee you again but bet uncle- ibr that tfould hot wail she wai n sweet girl one of the prettiest and mildest and most pleasant spokou that 1 ever met and thai wa all that albert could learn even liernamo he could not discover the lady of i13 hous said she thought the gentlemen called her nellie hut she could fell no more albert elberton went to his home in the western part of the sutc with a void in hi heart ilia niqlherand lu sister both of whom were very observant of his moods quickly discovered i he change in lam and sought 0 know ils cause bat he only shook hit head aid laughed at what he called heir iioiusiue that was in early spring out- hero had graduated at vale with distinguished honor at the age of twenty had then entered tfie oitice of one of the bst lawyerj in new york and shortly after his majority had been admitted to the xir and had commenced pftcticc in his native town las father being on the beuch had given him a part of his office and a large share of his old business weeks and months passed on and our young lawyer was becoming more and more popular his docket well filled and his cis of the first class oue day in mid autumn some one remarked in alberts ouicj that they had succeeded in engaging an excellent organist for heir church- their old organist had left them during the eummer vacation and they had since found much difficulty in earning cu the musical portiou of thf davotioual exercises what sort af 1 man is he 1 asked the lawyes j it is not a nun ut all the informant said laughingly she is a woman a girl and one of the prettiest and sweetest and most minks t creatures i ever met in fact she is altogether lovely hut he didnt fcnaivjher name when lbcrtoi asked how she had come to be engaged he was informed hat she had answead the committees advertise ment the music committee of the society had advertislj for an organist at the same time promising that if the person engaged shouhl prove a competent teacher lie or she might h- aured of as many paying pupils as ae person could teach this young lid hid seta the advertisement and iiad answendit and her recommendations from leading new vork musicians and clergyman liad been a sufficient guarantee of her fitneia and worthiness why albert should have been in such a fever of anxiety even himself coald not tell however ho was soon to be enlightened he belonged to- the choir and one saturday morning ho received a notice of a rehearsal at the church cu that evening he wenf darly and he- met thy new organist ior a mtimeiit le felt bhnd and dizzy jtis heart give a greit bound and then stooi tiill uut lie ncovercd himself quickly and b tar ted forwanl impulsively he grasped her hiud holding it as thogh it beljngcd lo him for in the new organist he beheld his waif af the wjeck and elie vxnid to be equally altected into her t-oft- blue eyes came an enulgcut light and her whole face seemed transfig ured in that moment the man knew that he bad laved the beautiful girl tince that- time when he hid home her in his arms- and if he hadbocn able- to read the signs upon her eloquent face he might have known that irs love was returned before the rehearsal was over albert had learned that it he hdys name was nellie 15 lair and that she wis from new vork he learned aly that khe had secured a boairdingpuoc with the widow itaynor at which his hctrt bounded gratefully for sirs itaynor ws oueof his best fnends she had petted him when a boy aftd silice he lid grown up the iid made much of bird surely the brglu had never given forth its full power of harmony with grander effect than it did under the magic tocch of this new organist and albert was not alone in the opinio in fact none disputed him and then iu time and rhythm and in cipressioitt in sentiment she was sup erior truly thefsociety had gained a prize i at the cloie of the rehearsal as the members of the choir reached the broad stone steers outside the vestible albert offered his arm to the organist and she took it as though it belonged to hex- took it with a frankness and willingness and a trustfulness that sent a thrill of glad ness to the yon tiis heart for a little dis tance they walked on slowly and in silence it was a clear starlight evening cool and invigorating 0 1 you dont knuw how i felt when x came back from the wreck of our railway train after i had given all of help to the goffering that lay in my power and found you gone it seemed to me as though a great blank had come into my life and i tell you truly i have felt it so ever since that was the first hpscclv spoken with solemn depth and with heartfelt earnest- ikice tji11i5e cents fljio mtibl have read the desire of his heart for without waiting for leading question she told him the story of her life told it limply and frankly o he knew truthfully her living relatives with one exception were poor but her family wag one of the best one of the old est and most honorable moving in the very beat circles of bociely a family in hoso record there was no etaiii all this she told him 111 a quiet trustful way as though anxious that he should know that his brave deed of the wreck had not beju done for an unworthy object after that albert elberton was a fre quent visifor at the dwelling of the widow juynor oii one occasion he had a long conversation with her while nellie was away attending to her pupils and the told him what she knew of her lovely voting boarder she had corresporiccl with some of her friends in new vork and they all represented the girl as being one of the best the purest and most virtuous lo be found anywhere and they said further hat there was no need tif her going out to give music lebons she had friends who would gladly take care of her and give her a good home but she would not be dependent upon others fhe was deter mined to be independent and earn her own living so far she wjis proud this was enough for the ardent lotr for a lover he was in even sense of the word he knew that his mother and sister wooldnot favor such a course on lus part for they were in their own estimation the very crane dt a ercwc of all hat wis nice and choice and select and ultra fashionable and why cot the hus band and father was judge of the highest court known to them the judge was the very biggest and most important per sonage of which they could form any con ception to be sure hey were not rich and why should they be vulgar people were rich shoddy was the richest thing they knew and 0 so vulgar i still they were forced to admit i hat a fair share of wealth would have been very pleasant as it was however they mother and daagh- er ifrsxetitia and ifiss leoline man aged lo spend the fudges money about as fast as he coald earn it and tarn it in it was on the evening of the very first snow of the season hat albert old nelhe diair how fondly and truly he loved her she answered him from the depths of her heart and confessed that he had given her a joy and a happiness such as she had never before known for a time the loving twain were lost in a delirium of infinite ecstasy but they came down to saber sensible thought after a time when albert began to consider when they shoald be married nellie was willing to leave it all to him as for my mother and sister he said i shall not speak to them on the subject for i know the- will bitterly oppose it and i do not care to stir up their wrath in ad vance my father dear old soul will be glad to sec me married and moreover i know that he really loves you
