"But how can I manage it -who will teach me?" mannered Walter, wnnlkarfng how he was to live, and who would want to take as a carpen- tw's apprentice a young man of his 'rtamrr--one who had never been accus- mum to labor. and with a hand as deLdate as a glrl's.

I would not solicit his assistance in any way. Mr. Conant. after that I will caspend upon mymlt; make my own way. and be under no obligation to him," he said proudly. Mr. Conant smiled slightly. He ttd. mired the young fellow’s pluck and independence. while ho despised the meanness of the man. who, with great Wealth at he: command, evldently in- tended to turn adrift the boy whom his father had loved and befriended. " Well," he said, alter thinking awhile. "I do not know as I blame you, and I reckon we can manage may) way without his assistance. I do not clearly we Just how at this mo- mont, but if you come to me again at. this hour to-morrow, I think I shall he mule to speak more definitely regarding am. matter." Walter thanked him, and then took his leave, though. it must be con- lossml. it was with a rather heavy heart. Ho was almost twenty years old, and he must apcud a Fear learning " trade before he could hope to begin upon his chosen probable".

The tirat object. that attracted his attention. as he enterel it, was a. dainty bat with a long white leather.

If ever I new anything that look- ed like a will, that document that I signed for him looked like one." "I am afraid you were mistaken, Mrs. Coxon," Waiter answered, thoughtfully. "and it does no good to get excited our the matter.

"Well, regrets are useless. The fact remains, I have nothing.

"Of course you will.

I'll look out for your clothes-that): the very least that I can do-and 'twouldn't seem natural not to have the hand. ling oi them after Pd done it for so many years." - - "You are very good to me, Mrs. Coxon, and I know. I shall miss you and your (avers every day," sald Walter, a tear staqtlpg to his gayes. "It breaks my old heart to have you leave the house," moaned the housekeeper, with a sudden burst ot tears; "but, you'll come and sue me, won't. you, once In a. .srule t" "Yes, of course, I will. I have too few friends to be willing to desert the very best one that I haveleft," the young man answered, heartily, though his lip quivered truspleiously over the words. It, was very Bard to go out tor. ever trom that elegant home, where he had been most happy-where ev. ery wish had been gratified, and spend his future among strangers, who had no interest in him, no at. Iection for him. But almost anything would be preferable to the treatment. he had received since Mr. Carpenter':' death, by which he had been made to feel that he was an. alien and an in- truder; and the memory of this event went tar toward arming him xgith courage 'and energy for the hard life which he knew was before him. At seven sharp on Monday morn. ing Walter presented blame]! in the office of Mr. Conant;, who lmmedl- ately accompanied him to the block, when he was introduced to Mr. Way. land, the master-builder. and Betta gulnrly to work as an qppre'qtlce. In Which There is an Introduction. We cannot follow mm through the year that ensued; one. or two in. cldents will sex-Va as links in our story, and show something ot the struggles through which he passed, and the success which he attained. He did not like the carpenter’s trade any better than he antici- pated. It was hard, rough work, and not at all suited to his taste: but Mr. Conant had said that it would be 'an important stepping stone toward the goal which he was melting, so he threw his whole heart into the business, determined to master it in all its details, in order that he might apply its principlesto his _iututxs profession. . . Be was fame and sore in every Joint; his hands were bruised and cut and scratched. 1m enact with nimgh boards, and It1.o awkward use of implements to which he was so unaccustomed, and looked little like those delicate members. which tor years had been white and soft awn woman’s, and of which he had been not a little proud. The firat three months were In. deed very trying ones to him, and he found that he dld not care tor much but sleep and rest after his day's work was done, even as Mr. Conant had said. _ But these were minor details, and being masessml of a strong consti- tution and a splendld physique. he gradually became more used to his work, and soon learned how to tar or himself. His muscles toughened, his ainews strengthened, until at length he began to glory in the new powers that were being developed within him, and to experience some- thing of the dignity and nobility ot labor, albeit his tastes were note:- actly animal tbeyeby. " . ' After a time be begun to teelthe old ambition to get on faster rising within him, and one night he pre- sented himself at Mr. Conant's house and requested that he might haw something given him for evening oc. cugation. _ " _ " The narchtect, who had been watching " progra- wlth glen; Interact, and wu well pleased with the way he had conducted ulna-alt. willingly annulled with hi. mutant, gave him a key to his dilemmas he could work tmetro-ttly, and be- gun to initiate him In the more la. trieate mysteries ot his moleslom This was work that just suited our young hero, and as tune passed. he be- came more and more twin-ed with a. love tor his businea; his enthusiasm waxed stronger. while he began to ap- preciate the Vision: that had directed him to master the fundamental prin- ciples of construction. _ - ' .. Mr. Conant was surprised at the rapid strides that he made, and soon allowed him to mist him upon his plans, and often mnsulved him regard- mg points that required a good deal of thought and judeeu.t.. .. Toward the last ot the year Mr. Conant contracted to prepare plane and superinteud the building ot an elo- gant new resldexme. that was to be erected upon the banks of the Schuyl- kill. and not very tar from Fair-mount Park, the Beautiful public trrouum ot the city. There was upon the plans consider able work that Mr. Conant allowed Walter to share with hlm. and it was not long before the young man be- came absorbed in it, and devoted so much tlme to it that hls employer beg gan to fear that his health would suffer from such close application. But his enthusiasm did not abate until the designs were completed. and then he was as familiar with every detail as the great architect hlmBelI. Mr. Conant had promised that they should be delivered to the owner upon a certain day; but he found that he Should be obliged to be out of town at that time, so he requested Walter to take them to a certain street and number, with a message to effect that he would call upon his return and explain anything that might not appear plain to the gentle- The young- man was very proud ot his commission, and started forth in high spirits; but what was his sur- prise upon ascending the steps of the mansion to which he had been directed to find himself before the very door from which had issued the attractive maiden Whom he had encountered that day when he had first started forth "to seek his fortune," and who had so entranced him with her sweet song. and whose Mantifui face still haunted many of his waking and dreaming hours. He knew that the name of the gen- tleman who was about to build was Gordon, but he had not emaciated him in anyway with tho lovely gm whom ho had often longed to meet, but whom he had never seen since that bright summer day. ' . lie mounted the marble steps with quickened heart-beats at this unex- pected discovery, and rang the bell. A servant answered the call. Walter inquired for Mr. Gordon,and was shown into tho library. where the gentleman sat rendzng by a hand. some table in the centre or the room. He delivered Mr. Commas message, and handed the plans to him, where- upon the gentleman cast aside his paper and was instantly all attention and interest. "Sit down a moment, young: man," ho said, waving Walter to a chair; "I would just like .to glance at them, and then I may have some message I would like to send back to Mr. Con. ant." Walter obeyed, and took the chair offered him. Glancing around him. he uotlced that the room was most lux- uriously furnished. and that there were evidences of great wealth all about him. The many books in their rich binding-s and elegantly carved cam. the choice pictures upon the walla, and costly busts of great au- thors. scattered here and there, all spoke of abundant means. ' 'd"'""""" -_ WWW,” Mr. Gordon had become amt-bed in his plans. and the stillness was becom- ing awkward and oppressive to Wal- ter, when all at once, t rom somewhere above, there came the sound of a fresh young voice trilling a popular opera _alr_. . “These plans are myrtainly very at- tractive, Mr. Richmdson," Mr. Gor- don (unnerved, Iookimr Im Just then, "but I Wish Mr. Conant could have come himself this overtime, for there are some questions I would like to as]: him---, thmgs that I do not quite understand. Howaver. I suppose I can go down to his office any day and he will make everythipq plain to me." . Mr. Gordon seemed well pleased at this intelligence, moved a chair to the table for him, and for an hour kept him busy explaining and talking over various matters connected with the new residence he was contemplating. “Perhaps I can tell you, sir," Wal- ter said, rising, and moving toward the table. "I assisted Mr. Conant about the plans, and am quite tamil- lar with them." -- _ _ Just as Walter rose to go, there came a light tap and a rustle outside the library door: then a gentle tap. "Robert. may I come in l'" queried a sweet voice, and without waiting for a reply. the door swung open, and a vision of loveliness appeared upon the thveaho‘d. Walter stood spell-hound.
