ing Johns absence, and was only to be
found on Queen street, in the mansion
of his forefathers.
A servant ushered John into cheer
full morning-room, looking out into
garden full of sunshine and flowers.
and went to find Miss Elinor. while he
looked at Elinor's portrait in crayon.
read the name of Granville Denor-
mandy in the corner, and wondered if
he did it before going away. and why
he had not seen it before.
Just then voices that had all along
been family audible drew nearer, so
that he could hear the words as well
as the tones. He turned his head and
looked out into the garden where, in
the neighborhood of hundred-leaved
rose tree, Elinor had paused. leaning
on the arm of tall young man.

young man was saying, and they stood

John had listened like one in a
trance in spite of himself; then he
moved slowly into the hall, took his
hat, and went away. repeating:
"A faint heart never won a fair
lady; and she would have married me
if had asked her! And Granville
Denormandy is my heir."

FAINT HEART.

John Everett had known Elinor ever
since he could remember; they had
gone to school together; he had spelled
above her and had refused to take the
first place; he had envied the more
daring boys who had walked home
with her through the green lanes. be
meath embowering elms, as if it were
the most commonplace thing to do in
the world, while he, with his heart in
his mouth, tried to find courage for the
effort, and found himself left behind
for his pains.
Later, when they first began to go
out into the world together, what tor
lures he endured when she danced with
some handsome stranger; if she rode
with his Drawer companions; if Carl
Hughes took her off in his wherry down
the silver length of the river and lost
his way among the creeks of the silent
marshes, only returning home when
the evening was far spent, and the
stars trembled in the heavens, and un-
Willingly brushing past poor John,
waiting on the wharf in the shadow of
some warehouse to see them landed
safe!
Life began early to seem like
pleasant difficulty to him. BE was al
ways wondering what she was doing;
how she passed the long days while he
was busy in the connting-room; what
were her everyday thoughts, her
dreams, and did he hold any share
therein? Sunday. too, soon became
the iirst Of holidays. for then he was
sure to see her. His fathers square,
old-fashioned pew almost faced the
congregation, and not breath or Il
blush, the f1utter of an eyelid or the
ghost of a dimple, was lost up"" the
young man.
In the meantime, it is probable that
Elinor was not blind. Chances are
easily interpreted actions speak louder
than words. There is little doubt,
when Carl Hughes or any of the others
stepped out of a concert o. lecture
room and offered an arm to her at the
door, but she understood that John had
been waiting and wavering and longing
for the favorable moment in which TO
anticipate this attention, which mo-
ment would have arrived, sooner or
later, but that Carl, intent on his pur
pose, and unhesitating in its perform
alce, had pushed to her side, and had
gained the day before John had even
thought of losing it.
But by insensible degrees one out
grows this sort of faint-heartedness
and pushes out before Carl Hughes and
the indulgent crowd, and wins the
prize for the nonce, but delays to take
the next decided step in the right path.
And so IL was with John. One day he
heard that Elinor had given away her
heart TO Mr.. Denormandy, now ON his
travels. However much pain this an
nouncement gave John, his faint
heartedness- which, perhaps, was only
an exaggerated appreciation of the OBJ
Iect Of desire-Decame a something
srperfiuous, since, If he had already
lost her. why should he fear? 1t is at
this stage that one ceases to doubt and
begins TO suffer. So, now that he had
nothing to lose, he went in and out Of
her presence with fatal fascination,
as bold as 4 lion.

Suit i0r redemption OF Property.
Ludwig Eisinger, E. O. Darlington and Mar
garet L. King have filed chancery suit
against George W. Utermehle, praying that
Margaret L. King be allowed to redeem lot Q,
in square 406 by paying tho principal and
interest due the defendant. The bill sets
forth that on August ii, 1878, Margaret E.
King purchased from Samuel Ryan, for
$500, this real estate, which was subse-
quently conveyed 10 the other two plaintiffs,
in trust for her, and she TO receive the rents
and profits. Some $4,000 was spent by her in
improving the property, which Is No. S11 L
street northwest, and was assessed $4,000.
on March /, 1880, she borrowed $4,000 of the
defendant for one year, secured by tho prop
erty, at 10 per cent. per annum, interest pay
able monthly. Although advised that tho
terms proposed were excessive, and perhaps
usurious, still, by force OF circum-
stances, she was forced TO enter Into tho
contract. Mrs. King was possessed OF other
valuable property, but was unable TO manage
the same to advantage, and at the same time
was engaged In conducting a suit for dlyor co
against her husband, and fnasmuch as
other OF her property was not held by trustees
she could not convey the same without her
husband united in tho deeds. By reason of the
differences between them this he refused to do.
The defendant was informed of this condition

King would be in a position to utilize her
