Still | was unable to reply, and Helen
stretched out her hands towards me.

of by the hundred. But I was desper-
ate. / was in the mood to defy all ma
ture. and rushed headlong into the
fever district, hoping, amid the general
distress, 10 forget the thing that was
preying upon my mind and in danger Of
making a mailman OF me.
l nave no inclination now to recall the
scenes | witnessed in the plague-stricken

fellow beings, insensible OF the flight of

that one day awoke to find Dick Mer-
They told me in the i~mproyised hospl-
tai that | should have died but for his
tender care. Poor Dick! Just as l had
recovered sufficiently to be able to leave
this abode of death a white-faced nun
came one morning and told me that he
was down.
| tried 10 make them let me care for
him as he had cared for me, but appeals
ana threats Wee alike in vain; BY sheer
i1rCe they took, me away, and before l
back home in the North.
Helen Barclay received me kindly.
There, were tears in her eyes when she
placed her hand in mine. wildly l
recalled the harsh things l had said of
poor Dick.
When / dared to speak I told her all
mat knew about mis- noble act and
begged her to forget hat l had ever
spoken unkindly Of him.
For a long time she sat with downcast
eyes, but looking up at last, she said:

II l had never met Helen Barclay the
promise l gave my father while he lay
upon his death-bed would probably have
been followed by no unpleasant conse-
quences. 1t has been said that a man
can fall in love as often as he can eat.
This may be true II he never happens
to fall in owe as l did with Miss Bar
clay. Such a love can be born in a la
but once.
She was beautiful. My tastes were
generally very different from Dick Mer-
rltts, but he agreed with me-, as did
everybody else, that Helen Barclay was
magnificent. She was a little taller than
most girls of twenty are, but so well
proportioned that she seemed to be not
above the medium height. Her features
were not purely classical, but what they
Hacked in regularity was more than
compensated for by the sweetness and
Intelligence of her expression. Her eyes
were Il dozen different colors. The first
time they beamed upon me they were a
heavenly blue, At other times they
nave seemed dark and flashing.
hut Miss Barclay was rich (or her
rather was, which amounted to the same
thlhg' for she was his only child, while
1 was at the time a poor attorney, with
no practice to speak of and no very brill
iait prospects for ever being able to
build one up.
lhis was what made my position SO
awkward and distressing.
Just before my father closed his eyes
upon earthly scene he called me to his
bedside and said:
The evening world., 1894-04-07
ONLY a RUSE.
Dick Merrits Sacrifice for the sake of
Friendship.

Robert, I am about to lave you PEN
you to make me u promise. When your
mother and ! were married she was
wealthy and | was poor. Had 1t not
been so I think we would have lived
happily together. AS It was. we were
miserable. Through an unlucky specula-
ton / lost her money. and after that l
never knew a moments true happiness.
| do not blame her for what l have had
to endure. 1t was my own fault. !
should not have married above my sta
ton in life. 1t is to satisfy myself that
you will not repeat my mistake that l
wish you to promise me never to ask a
girl who is richer than yourself to be
your wife"
l. ! promised. and a few hours later he
passed to his eternal rest.
Merritt always franhly maintained
that / was a fool for paying any atten-
ton to what he was pleased to term
"the whimsical eXact!on of a nan who
could not. under the circumstances, have
been in his right senses" and as | look
back upon it all now. I am inclined 10
believe that he was right.
ITS all a piece of folly he was wont
to say. "Of course, you have the Cod
given right to do as you like about such
things, but | assure you that all the
deGth-bed promises that l could make in
a month wouldn't have the slightest
effect upon me II / ever got q chance to
