81 thought that would be the end"
said Vandergrift, with an amused
smile: "you want to keep them both,
Martha. Well, I'm willing. i am
off for China. this summer, you know
and | shall, very probably, be gone
four or FIVE years. You can open an
orphan.asylum, ifyou like"
SO Marietta found home with her
brothers, happy luxurious home,
where the name of Horace Wander
GRIT was often spoken but the years
slipped away one by one, and he still
was a wanderer in foreign lands.
Perhaps he might have ended his
days in the Far East, ifa sad calamity
had not turned his face homeward /:
a cable-telegraph reached him at Ca
bul, and he learned that his sister
Mrs. Alexander-was very i'll.
He hurried home but she had
been buried already two weeks, and
he met only tall beautiful girl, who
greeted him half doubtfully as
"Uncle Horace" and fine strikingly
handsome boy, whom everybody
knew as "Raffaello Alexander.
1t was natural that Vandergrift
should at once domesticate himself in
his sisters house. After all, it was
pleasant to have home-especially
one like this, where everything moved
so easily. Vandergrift often wonder
ed how it was that matters were so
we'll managed.
Six months slipped by unheeded-
when, one day, Marietta came to him,
and after little hesitation, said
T-I don't think | ought to stay
here any longer, Uncle Horace"
Not stay here, child?"
Everybody says it isn't proper.
You know, am not your own niece,
and-I can't explain-you must under
stand"
She paused. Horace vandergrift
was silent; but he took her slim
hand and marked how it trembled.
Marietta" he said, half dreaming
ly, "if you were only in love with me
now, we could end our little story
like romance"
He looked up, and saw a sudden
flush of color in her face.
"Do you think, dear" he added
softly, that, if you tried to love me,
you could ever be happy as my wife ?"
She moved quickly toward him,
with her hands extended.
81 could be happy now," she
answered, very softly. 81 have
always loved you, from that day when
you had your fortune told by ugly old
Pietro's trained birds. prayed then
that your life and mine might never
be separated"
Vandergrift took her in his arms
and kissed her.
"And YOU" he said, 81 love you
with my whole soul. From this
moment, / am more than ever a dis
contented bachelor. 1 shall never be
satisfied until you are my wife"
But that came soon afterward, and
Horace Vandergrift gratefully &C
kpowledges her love and companion
ship as the chief of all Fortunes
Favors.

MISCELLANEOUS.
In Hope


Life Is not all golden way,
Set round with blooming flowers,
And what we long for may not I'LL
With sweet delight the hours
Clouds viii oercast the skies Of all
And hide away the blue
But, II we wait In patient hope,
The sunshine will break through.
Life is too short to grieve and fret,
Too short TO spend in fears,
And there's too much of needless toll
To give much time for tears.
And, when our hands and hearts are full
OF what we find TO do,
Our hours of loneliness will be
But very, very few.
Work is blessing God ordained,
To do II with our might
While yet the day of life is here,
Before the fall of night
Behooves us all and, when we go,
All silent, one by one,
Happy Wen be TO know Wen hear
The welcome sound "Well done"

we chose man who was afflicted with
