THE ANGEL IN DISGUISE.
A ROMANTIC AND YET TRUE STORY.


A beautiful young heiress had
become so disgusted with a fatter-
ing set of soft-pated, strongl ly per-
fumed suitors for her hand, that
she shut herself from the fashion
able world, turned all her proper
ty into money, deposited it in
banks, donned a cheap wardrobe,
put on a mask, and went, pedes-
trian like, through the city in which
she had hitherto moved with SO
much display and magnificence.-
She asked aims of those W ho of
late had knelt at her feet and sued
fer her hand. They knew her not,
and casting look Of scorn upon
her yelled face and coarse ward
robe, bade her begone. She ell
tered the country-here she met
with derision and scorn. A few
kind-hearted people, it is true, be-
slowed aid but these were Of the
poorer class, who had hard work
to procure their own daily bread
but they could not turn a fellow
creature hungry from their door,
and therefore gave a small pit
tance from their scanty store.
One summer day, large COM
pany met at a watering place.
They were mostly from the city.
The disguised heiress from some
cause OF other had wandered there.
She asked aims of some termed
"upper tens" They spoke taunt-
ingly but gave nothing. What they
said had been heard by most of
the company. Most of them laugh
ed OF looked as though they
thought it "served her right" The
baggar woman turned about and
was walking sadly away, when d
very good looking gentleman step
ped forward, and catching hold Of
her arm, thus spoke:
"Stay, my good woman-tell me
what you want"
She replied in a low trembling
tone, 81 want a sixpence-only
sixpence."
"You shall have ten times that
sum. Here" he added, drawing
from his pocket an eagle, and plac-
ing it in the gIoved hand of the wo-
man, stake this, and if it IS not
enough l will give you another"
The heiress returned the eagle
exclaiming, 81 want a sixpence-
only a sixpence."
Seeing that she could not be
made to take the coin, the gentle
man drew forth a sixpence, and
gave it to the strange being beside
him, who, after thanking the gen.
erous donor, walked slowly awdg.
After being Laughed at for SO doing
by his comrades, he set out in pur-
suit of the beggar woman, saying,
"Perhaps she is an heiress-or an
angel in disguise-l mean to as
certain"
Not that he thought this. He
wished to show his indiffe renee to
what his comrades said, besides
satisfying himself about the strange
female whom he had aided. He
soon overlook her, and addressed
her thus: "Pardon me, madam,
for pursuing you. I would know
more about YOU"
AS the speaker ceased, the mask
dropped off from the face of the fe-
male, and the beautiful heiress was
portrayed before the astouished
gentleman.
They were afterward married,
the reader can easily imagine, for
the heiress used this means Of
procuring a worthy husband, and
the generous gentleman had long
been looking for can angel in dis
guise."
The happy husband is often
heard to say that he got an "heir-
ess for a sixpence.
