earliest victims of the railway mania and stock loan immense amount represent ed not only the whole of his own fortune but also c0ou borrowed money his son looked with a constantly lengthening face over this scrip and waited impatiently to know the fall measure of his disappoint ment in the meantime he carried on the busi ness as usual there was no use ki telling helen an uncertain trouble so for nearly half a year there was utile change in their home helen tended her house and garden wrote letters to fcer lover and drove thcxr little jhaetou into glasgow even- night for her brother an drew it was not altogether a pleasant drive for the store was in the cowcaddens a dirty noisy street very different to what it was when her grandfather began business in it seventy years before one afternoon in november she felt lliis particularly everywhere it was dark and mudiy and through the thick- fog the wretched crowds and dim lights loomed in unnatural and ugly proportions she hoped andujueoald d ep her wailing on the contrary he came to the door called a lad to hold the horse and bid her come into he office do you see that pile of raihvay scrip helen yes andrew it is gold for naetiiing shall we lose much everything then they rode silently home each with the bitterness df a private care added to the one they bore id common for both of them were m love andrew knew that isabel maloom would never marry a poor man and helen feared whether james blair would stand such a change of fortune after dinner helen said come andrew a sorrow faced is half conquered let us count the worst you have 5000 in the clyde bank no one can touch that helen and i sup pose that james blair is man enough io be laird o his own word i can sequester the estate and pay five shillings on the pound naebody will blame me its uane of my faolt i am not going to hae father blamed either andrew if i can help it aunt mary left me that money and shed like as well as i would that it went for the honor of john moir s name an if james blair would not marry me without tocher then i would not marry him though he were lord provost of glasgow you are a braveguid girl helen an if youll stand by me well save our honor and our guid name we tyne baith love an gold for them theres my hand andrew think well sister you may grip roagh days in it u im no feared for the days i never saw you hae said what we can do now tell me what you woujd like to do id like to sell this house an most o its plenishing the proceeds put to yoar 5000 poandfl wad mnk a of 10000 the ither 8000 lies between brodie

guiuwoman stands shoulder to shoulder wi him ill soo everybody to morrow that john moir owed a shilling to audi hae my aiu little aflair to settle then ill ken just what promiso lo gio you andrew they clasped hands and kissed eachothcr helen was greatly louchedat this mark of her brothers pleasure with her like most of his country men he disliked demonstrative affectiou helen know that a kiss from andrew meant an approbation and love he bad no words to express the next morning she wrote to her lover jauic dcau conic tud soo wo as soon u way bo fbavo thai to uy which will make us armor frfcudj or pari us for ever vourf hclkv aloui james blair isinelt disaster as she incuut he should in he note ho took two days lo make some inquires and think things over and then in the most cautious of humors went to soo his bctbrothod helen told him frankly what she and andrew bad determined to do james bmiicd sarcastically and answer ed that he was glad helens money was a thing by itself sol at all said helen hotly i shall ie andrew my 000 every bawboo o it hjen if you bad wanted to break our engagements you might hae done it wi a screed o writing there wasnt any occa sion to bring me a of twenty miles to tell ine you were gaun lo inaka fool o yoursel an me yes there was i might hae hodtoo guid a memory o you james blair i shant spend time fretting for a man who looks as mean an contemptible as you do this hour she spnt liic rest af theday in her own room and wliatever the battle she won it it was a cheerful face that met andrew moir at the dinner table he did not even guess that james had been there until helen said im wan ting the ijace q your clerk andrew if you can manage the groceries i can sort the hosiery weel enough and 111 charge you nacthing but my board he look her offer frankly and gratefully helen moved in all things rapidly and de cisively inaweek the rooms above the store had been nude comfortable and even pretty and issevn as andrews business arrangements bad been completed brother andsislerfel naturally and quietly into the course they hod marked out for them- sehes helei ftt tiy chmgii nf this movement keenly yet fk- was not unhappy an- drwsiiiicrlafid love and care over her and her own ttw of gratified- honor and duty wtro a piut recompense and when- thc storci were closed at night and the brother and siler counted up their gains and talked ever their plans by their cosy suppertable they were well enough content t they worked hard spent very little had no rent ana but a irifle in wages to pay and yet at the cud of the firtl vear they had only been ahlu to save ctoo at this rate they might work many years ere they would be frwj vtt oa they wait year after year paving sometimes more and sometimes less receiving uo encourage ment but 6uch as their own hearts gave them andrews pavements became a matter of coarse as his bills fell due lie metjhera no one thanked him for doing his duty fortunately both helen and he had been taught from childhood to accept- duly as the grandest lever of life they found a good deed its own reward at the end of sir years they lad paid off 4000 and thi stores were very prosperous there had been so mauy manufactories built in the neighborhood that the stand had become a very choice one and andrew had thoughts of getting a partner and large ly- increasing his business while he was hesitating a cousin of his fathers died and left andrew and helen moir each 1000 helenpiid hers promptly into the debt of john iloirs estate- and andrew used his to carry out his intentions he mde the change just at the right- time ifldrew sfoirs cheap stores grew ni favor fatjjeyond the cowcaddens and so many respectable people from all parts of the city came to try his bargains that he thought it no folly to reopen the silk and lace department he had laughed at six years before he had now forty clerks male and female and helen disappeared from the store but she still made the rooms above a bright and pleasant borne hav ing however much time and being an active little woman she began to bnsy herself with the poor of the neighborhood she became an authority a loving mis tressan angel of comforuo the wretched hearts in the surroariding wynds in these visits she occasionally met a clergyman likeminded with herself they worked many months together knowing not each others name then one bitter winter day when helen was caught in a storm he brought her home under his um brella and went up to the cosy parlor to get warm he had known john moir and andrew and helen made him stop the evening he said nothing about his church and they were too delicate to ask him the friendship grew without social introduc tions for after many weeks intimacy helen only knew him as mr lindsay it was in a great meeting in the city hall the brother and sister first ferned that their familiar friend was one of the wisest and best of scotlands wise nnd good men the next time he called helen met him with full eyes andrew and i were at the meeting last night doctor were you helen then yon know that i am going to geneva for q few weeks i helen turnedvery pale is there any thing i can do for your poor wirile you are away doctor no i have provided for them yon can do something everything for me you can make me tho happiest of men 1 and trly he looked tw when half an hoar afterwards andrew came- upstairs at his sisters requests to give his sanction to the promise hefcn had just made still it was hard to persuade helen to resign her post and go with the doctor lo geneva bat uw iusutod that sjie had more than done her share and that nffoiry yrtym 4w he tjelpfel better by ber marriage thau by any other cotiwe so there- w a qoiet hajidbome wedding anajret gathering on tha pier u set offjruh honors and wellwishing tho good doctor and his beautiful bride tbe tide had taken uio turn hencefor ward andrew moir sailed on a fortunate wave in two years ho was a free man with one of tho largest and most lucrative business connection in tho city ho had paid his fathers debts to tho last farthing and no ono had aaid thankyon to bim honest men dont pay each other compli ments for doing an honorable deed but andrew felt their opinion of him in the grip of their hand in their greeting in the warehouses and in the lifted hats of the merchants exchange if he had wanted a hundred thousand dollars he could have borrowed it without doubt or dispute i he was very proud indeed of his sisters marriage thero was a groat deal of hu manity iu andrew moir and one day when james blair came to ask him for a position and ventured tospoer after miss moir andrew felt ihe greatest pleasure in saying miss moir married three years sync the great doctor lindsey tboy were staying wi the duke o arjjyloat jpseut for the doctor has been at balmoral preaching to her maist gracious majesty its a gran thing for them baith for its uo often the queen hears as guid a sermon mairs the pity bat ho gave james the place he asked and so it happened that the first time james i blair saw again the woman he had so j scornful i ywjcclod he carried out to her carriage some silks and linens tho had been buying he gave the parcels to a servant rvnd looked at helen but she was listening to the doctor and never saw him for when helens husband was speaking helen lind sey had neither eyes nor cars for any other person it was not long after this time that one day two beautiful women stepped from a handsome carriage and entered andrews stores one of them looked straight at andrew and andrew blushing like a girl accosted her they talked of common things until ner companion went to another department then andrew said what most i call you now my name is still isabel malcolm have jou never mamad have you why have you not been married isa bel do you need to ask mc andrew j i was afraid you would not marry mo avheu 1 was poor did you ever try me v that evening isabel folded in andrews arms vowed that she would have been his wife ten years before and andrew believed her firmly there are few girls would have been as faithful as you isabel he wispered and isabel whispered back few girls love as fondly as i love you dear three months afterwards- andrew was the happiest of men and bailie malcolm is just as proud of his soninlaw as andrew is of his brotherinlaw they are a guid
