for instance. I know how to make
money, and make it. 1 know how to
pull strings, and money comes to me
from other people, sometimes unex-
pected. But there are things / value
more than money, and can't have
them. People don't believe that about
me, but it's So"
He looked submissively sad at the
thought of having been misunderstood
by the world.
why, brother"
"Please don't call me brother, Han
nah."
She started, and looked, as if with
some apprehension, through the in
terstices of the encompassing vines.
"Llsten while 1 explain to you," he
said in deliberate, low utterances, yet
not without appearance of authority
to command attention. Hannah,
without having any idea of what an
unhappy man ! am, you were about to
use words of congratulation, beginning
with calling me your brother. / was
saying just now how curiously things
in this world went. Now, there is my
brother Cullen, man of excellent
parts,a handsome man, a man who,I fre-
quently say to myself, ought to be the
happiest man upon the whole face of
the earth married as he is; yet he neither
makes money nor tries to make it be-
yond a mere common country support,
apparently without any ambition to
bring his family into town and give
them the benefit of society as good
as can be seen anywhere in the whole
state of Georgia. don't say blame
Cullen for having that sort of prefer
ence; but it seems curious to me when
l look at you and think how you would
shine if Cullen would give you the op-
portunity. And, Hannah, unless he
drives me off entirely from him,
mean to make 1t so that, if he wants
to, he can make his family participant
in all this town affords. If not, I'll do
whatever | can for you, in spite of
him. He understands his wife no more
than he understands his brother"
Then he took her feebly-resisting
hand and said:
Hannah dear, while father was in
some sort of fret with Cullen, he made
his will in which he cut him off from
an equal share in his estate. He was
vexed with Cullen because of his want
of such ambition as he thought his
children ought to have. said little
about it, believing that when he came
to see what sort of woman Cullen had
married he would either destroy it or
make proper alterations of it He
seemed in time to appreciate you like
l did. Yet after his death l found,
among papers which he had left with
me, that will, which, as an honorable
man, 1 was bound to present in the
court. My intention has been to make
an allowance beyond the provisions of
that paper, far beyond them; not for
Cullen's sake, who never treated me
like brother, and always went coun-
ter to my advice, but for the sake Of
his child, and-and for the sake OF you,
Hannah, whom / love, and always have
loved, better than all the rest in the
whole world"
Withdrawing her hand from his, she
rose. Presently afterwards, Mrs. Amer
son, returning BY way in the rear of
the grounds, hearing suppressed
sounds as of pursuit and entreaty,
paused, looked through a slight open
ing in the garden fence, then, with
drawing her eyes and laying her hand
upon her breast, cried, in a low voice:
"Oh, Cullenl Cullenp'
By the time she could reach the
house, Wiley and Hannah were there.
"0h, Sister Julial' cried Hannah, red
as any cherry, when Julia put parcel
in her hand; II didn't know you were
going to get these nice things for
Pearce. He'll be run mad with delight
at them"
"I'm glad they please you, Hannah"
Cold as it was, Hannah accepted the
assur ance with whatever pleasure
there is when distracting emotions,
