ly," she said calmly, and 1 could not answer her.
 When we called at the lawyers office, we were shown into little room where a gentleman was seated writing. It was too late to retreat when 1 saw that it was Ralph Dearing.
 He greeted ps affahly, but I saw a look of horror on his face as he noted Jets altered appearance
 MT. Fanshaw is in his private office, Miss Schubert he said, opening the door for her; ''walk in.'
 II will call for you presently" she said, and then left me alone with Ralph Dearing.
 As the door closed after her, he turned quickly and strodc towards me, grasp ing me fiercely by the arm.
 ''What is the matter with her?" he asked in hoarse voice.
 1 shook off his hand rudely, and an- swered with great bitterness
 "A broken heart, Mr. Dearing."
 l could not refrain from saying it. though I knew Jet would be angry.
 What do you mean?"
 He seemed to be choking with his own words.
 Ought you to ask such question:" said pointedly-
 ''For Gods saker' he cried passion ately; ''have done with this. You know you saw that loved r-worshipped the ground she trod on. I would give my life for her this instant. What is the matter, Miss Emily?"
 His earnestness was like revelation to me. 1 looked at him moment, and my heart bounded.
 Do you mean what you say, Ralph Dearing?"
 "As heaven is above us do."
 'Then," said joyously, ':it is all a hideous misunderstanding. Georgette loves you. It is that that is killing her."
 If ever face was transfigured with rapture, his was that instant.
 Are you telling me the truth?" he cried.
 "Yes, I am." I answered; 'but go away before she comes out, she cannot bear to see you now. Twill prepare her for your coming tonight
 He obeyed me, and it was not until evening that Jet saw him in her own little sitting-room. When she came in, looking so frail yet so lovely, Ralph could not utter word He simply opened his arms, and the next instant her head was on his breast
 Darling" he whispered, ''I told you the truth. Your fortune was nothing to me; but hew could I ask you to give it up for the sake of sharing any pov- erty?'
 "Your poverty was nothing to me" she said, in voice that thrilled with happiness; ''but you never gave me a chance of saving so.
 And will you-can you-oh, Georg- cite, my darling! it will be a terrible sacrifcer'
 "You say SOP" she cried reproachful lv. ''yet you profess to love me! Tel me, Ralph, if it were ten times as much wouldn't you give it up gladly if you were in my posftion?'
 "Derest,n he said, kissing her witt tender reverence, Il would give up tht world for youn'
 '.Besides,'' she added, with an en chanting smile, Il told white lie Ralph. Can you forgive me for it? was trying to weigh your love in tn, balance with my money, and how sadly 1 miscalculated the result. But-it i only half of my fortune that I will for felt in marrying you. think we cal still manage to live on half. Don't yo1 think we can Ralph?n
 He looked at her in kind of de lirium.
 "Why-what-n he stammered.
 Don't you understand?'' she said putting both arms around lis neck 'When marry you, lose half my for left to me. 1 would not have any of il though, Ralph, if I had to live withou you.''
 Real tears started to his eyes, and h gathered her close to his heart. When came in after awhile, Jet wa lying on the sofa, and he was seate close beside her. Her cheeks were crimson, and he eyes shone like stars.
 ''I don't know what the doctor wi say to this,' l said, shaking my hea dubiously.
 We won't need any doctor now, Mis Emily" Ralph said, with a joyou l laugh. T have taken the contract o his hands, He fulfilled it toe; fer, three month later, when Jet was married, her healt was better than 1t ever had been b. P fore.
 3 The inscription in her wedding-rin ? was in Hebrew. and somewhat differer Q from the judgment which Belshazzs saw written upon the wall. It signified in our language:
 ''Thou hast been weighed in the ba T ance and found true''
