A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

To say that Harvey rockingham was
in bad temper was to put the 'miidest
form of words to express the savage
mood in which he found himself one
winters evening, as he shot through the
main street Of the town of L., on his
way homeward. Everything had gone
contrary to his wishes all the week.
To commence with, he had fallen in
love with Josephine Ormund, whose
pretty face was her only fortune, and
who worked in paper.bo1 factory fol-
her daily bread. 49,. - = TX
Entirely ignorantof the fact that Har.
vey Frothipg CHAM was man OF standing
and wealth in L., pretty Josie al.
lowed the minor facts, that he was in
sultingly free in his addresses, to In
huence her so strongly, that her digni.
fed reserve taught him the lesson he
needed; and when he sought her for his
wife she refused the honor. :. ;
To add to this discontinue, the heir
ess, Miss Maude Chesterton-whom he
had held in reserve, that his ambition
might win wife if his love would not.
had cooly informed him that she was en-
gagged to Fred Holman.
Now, If there was one man above
another who was utterly detestable in
the eyes of Harvey rockingham, it
was Fred Holman. - > I r.: =.
They had both been rivals at school,
where both stood we'll in talent, appi-
cation and social position; and Fred was
ever little in advance in every study,
carrying away the contested prizes far
more frequently than it suited Harvey
he should.
In society, Fred's handsome face,
ready Mit,-canrteous-n s-naasanaEa,- and
frank, sunny temper kept him ever
in higher favor than Harvey Frothing-
hams sullen, cold disposition could
gain. - '-'
And now, when Maude had been ever
gracious to the son Of the wealthy
banker, Silas rockingham, she an-
swered his, loye-suit by the tidings that
his lifelong, rival had won the promise
to be his bride.
"And the worst of it is, it will be Just
the match to snit his uncle" muttered
Harvey, savagely. mo fear of him
disinheriting Fred now" L, 81. G.

entirely upon the goodwill of his
mothers brother, james Hutherford, o
wealthy and eccentric oschelor, 1or mis-
income. He had been left an orphan
when a mere boy, and his uncle had
adopted and educated him, and would
probably make him his heir.
But the bachelor, having long agoput

to Fred to make match that would IN.
