MAUDE'S ORDEAL.
BY AMY RANDOLPH.

It was rather an embarrassing
thing to do, but Charley May had
done it we'll and bravely, like a
man. He was nothing but clerk
at eight hundred dollars a year,
nevertheless, he had boldly craved
audience of the portly old million
. aire, and asked him for his daugh.
ter, as he might have asked for the
miliner girl round the corner.
Mr.. Bryant coolly wiped his pen
and laid It IN the carved bronzed
rack; he moved back his chair a
pace or two, looking Charles May
full in the face as he did SO, with a
curious, mocking light in his cold
blue, eye. 10 ,s
$50 you,want to marry my daugh-
ter, eh %
& 81 do, eir," said Charley.
Provokingly handsome he looked
as he stood there, with the reddish
brown hair thrown back from his
SQUARE, white forehead, the hazel
eyes, clear and confident, and the
perfectly cut lips, little apart
Somehow, in the midst of hit
wrath and derision, old Richard
Bryant could not help thinking
that we're he a glrlFof eighteen, he
might possibly have fallen in love
with such . young man as Charles
May.
"Is there any other little tride
could let you have?" sneered thu
caustic old man. "a block Of hous
es, or a Broadway lease or SO, o.
any other small favor2'
isYou are laughing at me, sir,
said Charley, coloring, yet speak
ing with certain quiet dignity
II have asked you simple ques
ton; surely l have the right to
frank answer
Then listen to me, young man,
said Richard Bryant, with suddei
abrupt sternness. "You are as
piring altogether too high-yol
can not have my daughter Maudc
Now you have your answer-go !
Charles May stood for a momen
like one upon whom thuuderboI
had fallen with sudden blightin
power, then he turned and wake
quietly out of the handsome Goth
ic library, where the blue and gol
circles of light from the oriel wir
dows quivered over the deep erin
son of the Wilton carpet, and tn
pure marble faces of Pallas an
Venus deMilo watched him as b
went. srg,
''Maudc, my love, my darling
what is the matter ?"
The red glow of the NovembC
sunset could scarcely pierce th
folds Of ruby velvet that hung ovC
the plate glass windows, yet in tt
odorous twilight Mr.. Bryant sa
his daughter, with her lace hidde
in the satin sofa pillows, and IL
heavy, blush black curls drool
ing low over tho carved ros
wood.
"Tell me, little daughter, VIII
troubles you" whispered tho me
chant, bending fondly over tho gil
Maude had never known a mothe
and there was a tenderness in Il
old mans tones at that instant tn
was almost maternal.
She looked up, with the stain
fresh tears on her crimson cheek
HE has gone, papa-ho n
gone and left me r.
"He7 WhoP",
"Charley May"
And Maude B-yant, who had sp
ken all her lifo long to her faith
as if he had been a loving moth
also, hid her face on the kind
breast and cried afresh.
"Whew-w-wl" was the m,
chants softly brcathed comment.
II have been trying to convin
her how very absurd all this i
yaid Aunt Eloise, portly wido
in garnet silk and carbuncle je
elry, who sat by, alternately qr
ting truism at her niece and sni
ing at o gold caSsolette that I'm
at her waist.
