Miss Temple, Nedw said Charley
Ashton, as he sauntered leisurely
up to the desk which Edward Far
nun occupied in Messrs. Smith a.
Jones' office on Wall street.
The warm blood colored Ned's
cheek in spite of all his struggles
to prevent it, and he replied:
"No; l hope no HARM"
swell, guess it wasn't. Come,
put up your book, and as we go
up town III tell you."
"No, l cannot leave yet. l have
not finished my balance"
ooh, pshaw ! you can finish that
tomorrow before ten o'clock. /
wouldn't work as hard as you do
for any man living, much less these
bankers, who think all fellow Is
made for is to work and make
money for them. Come along"
"No, ! cannot CO."
"Well, then, the tale in short is,
she's had a big fortune left her,
some say Eve hundred thousand
dollars"
An involuntary sigh escaped Ned,
and he rather muttered than spoke !:
"1'm sorry to hear it."
"Why, what's got into you, you
ninny9 Sorry! Why, l haven't
heard anything to please me so
much in many a day. ] always
liked the girl, but I'm not philoso-
pher enough to marry her for love
alone. My doctrine is, when pow
erty comes in at the window love
goes out ut the door,"
"I'm afraid l don't agree with
you in all things, but / have no
time to discuss it now. Miss Tenn
pie, in my opinion, would be for
tune to any man, did she not
possess a cent of money"
"Psbaw Ned, that's old fogy.
Love in a cottage, ha! ha! Well,
I liked her pretty well before, but
| cannot help thinking her attrac-
tions considerably enlarged since l
heard the news. Never should /
have thought Of anything but q
pleasant acquaintauce-guess I'll
go in for her now. Good bye, old
fellow, and don't hurt yourself
over those books"
Ned made no reply, but he felt
as II he would like to grind his
heel on one who could speak so ir-
revently of her, who, to his idea,
combined every grace Of heart and
mind, and perfection of form and
feature which should make up a
perfect woman. His thoughts turn
ed to action, and he caught him
self stamping his heel on the desk
stool with such force as almost to
dent a hole in it, and looking up,
he saw Mr.. Smiths steady gaze
fixed upon him.
Back to work he tried to bring
his thoughts, but they we're not
subject to his will, and he found
himself in great danger of writing
the thoughts passing through his
mind. "She is lost to me now
Oh, how ] wish it had never hap
pened." He shut his book, put
away his papers, and with that
dresry, lost, far away kind of look,
passed unheedingly among the
throng on the money mart OF the
new world.
Charley Ashton lost no time In
improving his opportunities, for
that night found him seated tete-o.
tete with Miss Temple In a cozy
little room in Twenty-first street.
Miss Temple was an orphan, apt
had for years lived with an aunt

the desire that the people in the locality indicated
may take measures at once to perpetuate the
memory of these two historic characters. They
figured too conspcuously in the struggles of the
Revolutionary period to allow their names and even
their last resting place to pass into the shadows
of oblivion. 1t is sad to note the carelessness
