Who
Mrs. Mayberry was icily severe, but
| her husband cut 1t short.
$50 you were-pretty little thing as
ever 1 saw. A ladylike, graceful little
girl, with beautiful eyes enough to ex-
| cuse the boy for admiring her."
"The boy. You seem to have forgot
ten you1 son is twenty-three-old enough
to fall in love with, and marry-even a
poor, unknown girl you were qulxotlc
enough to invite to your table,"
"Twenty-three? So he is. And If he
wants to marry beggar, and she is a
good, virtuous girl-why not p
A little gasp OF horror and dismay was
the only answer of which Mrs. Mayberry
was capable.

Yes, you are at least sure VI Ilia' ,
there, L near the young niam oo"inS
himself. Shall L go, WINNIE :. :,
1t was the young man mmsell,
Ernest Mayberry, with shadow OF deep
trouble and distress on ms lace as he
came straight up 10 WINNIE ana tooh her
hand, then turned to the Old gentleman.
"Until an hour ago 1 thought TINS
would be the proudest, happlest hour OF
my life, sir, for l should have asked you
to give me WINNIE Tor my wne. H.

how dearly l love her, and now pauentiy
and hard l will work Tor her 10 give her
the home which she deserves-oecause,
Mr.. Wilmington, this morning the mouse
OF Mayberry q Ihurston 1allea, anu
both families are beggars. :.
His handsome face was pale, put ms
eyes were orght wfth deterluna'ion
and braveness nothing could daunt:
Winnie smiied PACK upon nlm' ner
own cheeks pahng.
"Never mind, Ernest, on my account
1 can wait, too. ;"
Old MIR. wilmington eyes were ai-
most smut peneatn tne neayy, llo"hins
forehead, and quizzlcal look was on nls
shrewd old face as ne listened:
! "Gone up, eh? Wen, thass TOO cao;
You stay here and tell winnie L am JUST
as willing she shall be your wife when
you want her, as if nothing had happened,

ME is a contented m little girl II IN hooGle
up to the Office and see your father ne
and were boys together; a word OF sym
pathy won't come amlss from me.
And off he strobe, leaving the lovers
alone, getting over the distance in re-
markable time, and presenting his
wrinkled, weather beaten old face IN
Maybery & Thurston's private office,
where Mr.. Mayberry sat alone, with
rigid face and keen, troubled eyes, that,
neyartbe]ess liphted at the sight of his
