In a quiot street off one of the quiet squares there is a tall, gloomy house, with narrow, dusyy windows and a massive doublo coor, that still bears a brass plato with the words "Gourlay Brothers" engraved thereon, The lower pact of the house was used as an office, but tho blinds were raroly drawn up, tho door seldom swung back to the energetic push of customers. the long passage echoed no hurried footsteps, and Eli Iaggart, the clerk, appeared to be tho idlest man in Boston till one came to know his masters. The Gourlay Brothers were never any busier than their faithfal old servant--nevor hurried, flurried or worried ; nover lato, and never oarly. Every morning at ten o'clock they entered their offico together, read their letters, glanced at the paper, left instructions for possible callers and then went to the city.

They wero elderly men--John, tall, thin, melancholy looking, with light grey cyes, scanty hair and whiskers, and a general expression of drabbiness provaded his whole nce and fanltlessly neat attire.-- Roger was rounder, more. cheerful and generally warmer in color. Ilis prevaling huo was brown, keen reddish eyes that must havo been merry once, crisp auburn hair which time had not' quite yet transmuted to silver, a clean-shaved, ruddy face and brown hands full of dents and dimples. John was the clder; still he looked up to Roger with grave respect, consulted him on every sub- ject, and never, in or ont of business took any step without his advice and approval, In their younger days, when thoy were commencing the battle ot lite, an invalid mother and an idolized sieter wero left de- pendent upon them for support. John secured the situation as elerk in a city warehouse. Roger ac- cepted a desk in the office of Bernard Russell, and old friend of his father's. They moved to cheap lodgings, and for soveral years plodded on wearily, the only gleam of sunshine on their altered home being tho occasional visits ot Alice Russell td their sister. Maud Gourlay and Alice had been schoolmates and friends; they usu- aly spent their vacations together, and Alice felt the misfortune that aad fallen on them as if it had fallen "|on her own, But she could do noth- ing but pay them flying visits, send trifling gifts of fruit and flowers, and write pretty symgpathetics note to Maude. A fow years of hardship and pov- arty told on Mrs. Gourlay's always 'oeble frame, still for her daughter's sakeshe clung to life with a strange tenacity, but whon Maude's lover, who had gone to California to mako his fortune, returned not wealthy, but sufficiently so to claim his bride in her altered circumstances, Mrs. Gourlay seethed to have no other object to live for. Maunde's marrage was hastened, and the very day alter the ceremony the poor, weary, broken-hearted mother died. George '| Lieslio to took his wife back with him San Francisco, and John and Rogor Gourlay wore literally alone in the wor ro As if in bitter mockery of their loss and loulieness, immediately ers inherited a small fortune, John was seized with a feverish longing to turn his small fortune into a large one and become wealthy. So they went into business "on their own ac- count as the Gourlay Brothers; with the firm determination of retrieving the position their father bad lost, and a very fow years saw them on the road to fortune. Ther one quite summer evening as they sat over their desert, John opened his heart to his brother, and told him of his hopes, dreams and ambitions for the fature, 2 "You will be surprised and I trust pleased, to hear, Roger, that 1 love Alice Russell," he said laying his hand on his brothor's arm; "I can hardly remember when sho was not dearer to mo than all the world be. side. Tho bitterest part of our mis- fortune to me was that it seporated mo from hor; nothing else can over compensate me for the ruin of all my hopes and glorious ambitions.-- Ionce dreamed of being famous Roger; for her rakeI put that be- hind me, and I have grabbed gold like a miser..We, Gourlay Brothers, are on the high road to fortune; I may aspire to the hand of Alice now!" "Surely, John," and the younger brother's voice was husky, and his hand shook as he took up his glass; "[ drink to your success." "Thanks, brother, I should have confidence in you, but I feared troubling you on my accoant; but you have seen a thousaud shadows across my path,you would have been more unhappy than I was myself.-- And now I want you to promiso thatit shall make no difference be- tweon ns. We shall bos Gourlay Brothers still." Roger stretched his hand across the tablo, and John grasped it heartily, "Gourlay Brethers to the end of tho chapter, old fellow. may you be as happy as you desorve. God bloss you, John." John's face became asbado or two paler with bmotion, and ho walked up and down the room a fow times; then ho stood behind his brother's chair. " Roger, you will think me very weak, very nervous, but I dare not speak to Alico myself. 1 could not endure arefusal from her. I have never given her the most distant hint of my feelings. I bave not the slightest reason to supposo that sho regards me as any other -than a " moro acquaintance, almost! .as Mande's brother. Roger, we have always been friends as well as brothers--stand by me in this; you are less shy and moro accustomed to womon ; see Alico for me, Roger, nsk her to be my wife." "John, you'ro mad! mean it!" "Ido; itismy only chance.-- Plead for my-happiness, brother, as 1 would for yours. Iam a man of fow words, but I feel deeply, A re- fusal from ber lips would kill me; I could hear it from youl" "Asyou will, Jobn: I'll do my best," and Roger lerned his eyes on his hand and shaded his face from thelight. "I'll call on Alico to- morrow." ' The next day was the longest of John Guorlay's life--a bright,warm, happy day that made people in the city look bright and cheerful, He went about his business as usnal, ato his lancheon, and walked home leisurely. Roger was standing at the window watching for him. And ho kept his back to him when he entered tho room. " Well," Jobn said gently, "well, Rogor, have you seen her?" "Yes, I've seen hor," said Rogor facing round suddenly. "John, old fellow, it's no use." + Brother !" and be lifted his band as if to ward of the blow. "It's no use," Roger went on a hard voice. "Sho does not love you ; she loves someone else. Be a man, John, and bear it, for there's no hope." One low, stifled groan, and then John Gourlay walked steadily out of the room, What he suffered in the hours that tollowed no one ever know, and when he appeared at the dining table he was self-possossed but something bad either como into his face or gone out of it that altered him, But of the two Roger looked the most unhappy. The blow had really fellen most heavily on him. " Jack, old fellow, wo'ro Gourlay Brothers now to the end of the chaptor," ho said huskly. "Tknow yon will never marty, and neither will I," and somehow Jack felt that Roger meant what he said. Twenty-five years passed by, a You do not % after their mother's death the broth- . quarter of a century of chanves, and - ---- -------------- still the Gourlay Brothers held the even tenor of their way, were ric beyond their wishes or desire, an not altogether unhappy in their sol itary friendship. : Alico Russoll scemed to bave drifted completely out of their lives; her name was never mentioned, and whether she was married or dead they did not know- One morning about the middle of September they-were walking along tho street at Newport, whither they had gone for their annual holiday, Roger ontered a shop to purchase somothing and John stood outside looking droamily at the passers-by, Suddenly he started and advanced a stop as alady in a carriage drove by. Chancing to look up sho met bis glance with a smile of recogni- tion, "Mr. Gourlay, it must be you. I am go glad to sce you." "And I to meet you," John paid with a courteous bow. _ "I have not the pleasure of knowing--" "My name--I am Alico Russell still," sho said, frankly, At this moment Roger appeared. For an instant tho blood forsook Lis ruddy face, while a hot crimson flush rose to Alice's palo cheek as she tried to stammor out some words of greet- ing. Roger was no less confused, and the expression of both faces was a revelation of John Gourlay. Iie felt as if tho world had suddenly drifted away from him and he was left solitary in somo unknown, infinite shade. But there was noth- when a young frfeud of sporting prdil called, necompanied Ly 8 well<bred bull terrier, We were standing at the wi low admiring the points of the terrier, wh Rough as we hed named our dog, e with a large bor in Lis mouth, " What an awfal brute 1" said our # not yours, of course 77 "Well, he came to us ; an excellent house dog, you've no idea, and a more harmless reature never lived." Fe ; # Such brutes ought to be throttled, Ho will have to give up that Dbome if Wasp wants it." Wasp did not want it. He was content toeye the plebeian Rough with disdain from the doorstep, All at.ones the latter, who was jogging along in his usual hangdog manner, caught sight of the stranger. To our amazement Le immediately threw down bis boue and offcrod battle, A ridge of Iiistles ross along (he whole length of his back ; Lis long nose and upper jaw wrinkled spasmodically, displaying a set of enormous teeth; and an angry growl shook his whole boty. "The dog is mad," said thy friend, "he'll be chawed up. If you value your dog you had better run out, thongh I think it would be more appropriate to let the brute alone." It was too late to run out, The combat« ants had already closed. The baitle, how= over. was not over in a moment. Reugh met the impetuons assaults of the bull terrier Ly the original expedient of beating him of with his great for At length the terrier got a firm grip of one ot Lis onist's long cars, "He will never Jeb go alive," said my friend He had nover uttered a truer observation.

"Yes, Iremomber, Mr. Gourluy," she replied sadly. "IIe made a request for mo then which it was mot in your power to| grant; I am como to make a similer | one for him now. Rogor loves you| Alice. Ie has loved you all these long weary years,thongh you will at least believe I did not know it then." "Poor Roger," Alice said, softly. "You care about him ? Yon will make him happy even in this lute hour ? Tell me, Alico that you love my brother." " Yes, Mr. Gourlay, Ido. Why shonld I deny it. I have lovdd him always, though I do not know that he cared about me, and if the little life that is left me can make him happier, I will devote itto him gladly proudly--poor Roger?" You sec Iam too old for pretences, Mr, Gourlay, and I fear Iam dying; therefore, I tell you all." "Dying Alice? No, no! You will live many years yet, I hope, to make my dear brother happy--brave, loyal, great-hearted Roger. Let me send him to you now, aud, Alice, for my old and long affection's sake, make him happy. IIo deserves it, and that is the only wey I can ever help to repay the dovotion of his life." "love him," Alice replied, simp- ly. "I cannot do any more." In their lodgings John Gourlay, tonnd his brother pacing restlossly up and down, " Roger, I've found out your socrot and hers," ho said laying both bands on his shoulders; "loyal, faithful friend, go to her; sho loves you, sho is waiting for you." " Poor Alice! how she must bave suffered." «How we all have suffered! but it's nearly over now, Roger--the grief, pain, regret. It's all clear and bright, Roger, dear friend, can you forgive mo?" « Forgivie you, John, say rather can you forgive mo ?" "Trae to the last," John murmuor- ed ns he wrung his brother's hand «Now, - Roger, go to her; she is waiting for you. She loves you-- loves you, Roger!
