Things had settled down into their
old groove. The sunshine of early
spring was already loosening the ice
barriers OF the big river, and the chill
dren were looking forward to the
emancipation of a long holiday. when
an event occurred that was Of SO start
ling nature that it completely changed
the aspect of affairs. as far as Wanda
Arlington was concerned.
This was none other than the pay
ment of the sum Of ten thousand dollars
to her order in the First national bank
of Glastonbury. There was no clew to
the payee. The bank officials in New
York who had transmitted the draft
declared that it was sent in the regular
way of business at the request Of per-
feet stranger.
When the first g1sh Of surprise was
over, the ladies concluded that it was a
tardy acknowledgements OF the girls
kindred, and that Wanda was quite
justified in taking possession of 1t.
Thus it fell out that Havana lost its
teacher even before the vacation. and
Mrs Evesham welcomed back again
the sunshiny presence of Harry's prom
ised wife.
OF course Miss Arlington wanted to
give all her money to her benefactress,
and. equally OF course. Mrs. Evesham
refused to take advantage Of her gen.
erosity, though it was agreed. that the
interest of the money should be largely
spent in the current expenses Of the
household.
Then they hurried to notify MFR.
Hardcastle of the singular windfall, in
the hope that the news would reach
Harry before he started for Europe, but
here they were disappointed.
Harry sailed on Wednesday. Your
communication SO important that shall
be with You in q few days to personally
discuss matters" the genial old gentle
man telegraphed.
And none was more pleased at Wan
da's good luck than George Arundel
He had been the first to congratulate
her and combat half-formed intention
to refuse the money, which in the first
surprise was seriously meditated.
Bladon was the only one who did not
seem quite satisfied with the situation
of affairs, or why did he mutter SO mo-
rosely to himself one day when he was
smoking his pipe under the apple tree:
$50 that's what that lawyer chap
come down from New York about. It's
the first secret you ever kept from me,
Master George, and don't think the
better of you for it. 'Taint so much the
money-what's ten thousand dollars to
him il he had his rightsbu It's the
keeping II back from me that hurts.

to sit up awhile, the old seryitor re-
solved to tell the story of Wanda's love
to him. It cut him to the heart to
wound the young mans feelings. but he
knew the task must not be shirked.
"Now, Master George" he began, In
an agony OF apprehension, you mustn't
take on, but I've bit o. news for thee,
lad. as wunnot perchance be welcome. -
"You mean Miss Arlington's engage
ment to young Eyesham?" came the
question, SO calmly and deliberately ut
tered that Bladon gazed In stupefed
wonder.
sWhy, yes" he said, that's what 7
meant; but how came thee to hear OF
it?"
Her mother told me yesterday. Oh,
dear old friend, don't look SO woebe-
gone. One would think that you were
the deserted lover to see your long face.
It is thing for MS all to rejoice at, that
the sweet girl has won the love Of such
a sterling fellow as Harry Evesham."
but thought you loved the lass
thysen?"
sLoved her; OF course did, and shall
love her as long as have sense to APP
preciate the sweetness of her character" !"
"An' yet you give her up SO quietly.
Why, when was lad"
"You were terrible fellow among
the lasses. / don't doubt. Bladon; but
am afraid you cannot quite understand
my feelings for Miss Arlington hard
" can myself. You see was not 30
far wrong when / told you she was TO
be nothing more than sister to me"
"An' you're not fretting over the loss
Of the lass?"
''No," said Arundel calmly. "for /
have net lost her yet. do not think
Harry Evesham will refuse to let her
still be my loving friend and sister,
Like as not" Bladon confessed, but
the reflection did not give him unal-
loyed pleasure. II was bad enough for
the young master to be smitten with the
charms of a pretty girl, but to carry his
devotion to her freside, when she was
married woman. was a proposal be-
yond the old mans philosophy.
Weeks passed by, and George Arun-
del was pronounced sufficiently recov-
cred to return to his lodgings In Glas-
tonbury. OF course Dolman was mu-
nifeently recompensed for all the trou-
BILE he and his family had been pat TO,
and candidly confessed that he did not
mind how often he turned his house

sweet girl and looked forward with
hungry delight to the hours spent by
her side.
All was going splendidly. Mr.. Hard
castle knew that In common deccncy
he could not much longer put off tho
evil day OF his departure and he wanted
to leave one staunch friend behind him
to move the puppets of this little
drama in his absence. And here he
made his first mistake.
He had keen appreciation Of tho
sterling worth of William Bladon, and
he resolved to make the honest yoeman
a confidant. and If possible an accom-
plice in his schemes
So he seized an opportunity for q
quiet chat with the old servitor, who
was not at all backward in accepting
the interview.
'Mr. Arundel Is getting on finely
after his trouble" Mr.. Hardcastle sold
tentatively.
"He be. sir. At least as far as gain
ing strength goes, but"
The old man drew long Whit at his
pipe and paused, as though something

seemed impossible to her, as she stood
that night in the moonlight with both
her hands in Harrys wishing him good
by. She had him for just that minute
all to herself, for Mrs. Evesham had
bade her boy adieu in her own chambets
and had retired to her place beside
George Arundel's couch and of course
the Dolmans were all in bed. True,
old B1adon might be prowling about.
but there were no signs 81 his immedi-
ate presence.
. Good-by! Words at all times o~bad
and bitter; but tonight how much they
mean to her-the death-knen Of her
days happiness.
He stoops and looks down on the face
SO beautiful with the moonlight playing
on it.
Sorely he is tempted to speak but
stern duty interposes. What right has
he to ask SO radiant being to bind her
life to his? But who could resist the
tender pleading of the blue eyes which
look into his one moment and then are
downcast.
"Wandar'
How strange his voice sounds to her;
yet in his passion-1aden tone there is
still the sweet cupaony he always gives
her name.
"Good-by, Harry!" With quivering
lips she speaks and can scarce repress
the sobs which almost choke her.
With low cry he draws her to him
and holds her in his embrace.

''I never believed such happiness
could be mine," he vows with ecstacy.
''Then, do SO now, dear" she whis-
pers, as with closed eyes she kisses his
face.

Then the mother must bo told. The
gentle, loving mother, who has borne
so much for them both. Pshaw, Wanda,
you need not tremble 50, you need not
shrink with great fear Of the supposed
wrong you have done. That generous
heart has long been beating with the
hope that the day might come when
she could truly call you daughter.

Then Wanda shyly and with great eff
fort tells the glorious news to William

has not preferred his boy as the idol OF
her affections. So it happened that one
day, when George Arundel had gained

CHAPTER XIV.
RATE,a H0MANcE

There was futter of preparation In
Mrs. Evesham's cottage, for Harry's
ffSand and employer, the great Mr..
Hardcastle, had graciously consented to
be Its guest for few days Luckily
circumstances had enabled the widow
to give up the store, which she had
metamorphosed into pretty parlor,
and the old sitting-room was converted
into a charming chamber for the distin-
guished guest.
He came, saw and conquered, and
had not been in the house day before
he had won the affection Of every mem
ber of the household, predisposed as
they were TO reverence one who had
been SO good to Harry.
Was ever o man SO petted and made
so much of? The daintiest dishes were
essayed in his1 behalf; the brightest
flower adorned his chamber, and three
charming women were ever ready TO
listen with cleaning eyes to his endless
flow OF "reminiscences and small talk.
To the man who had never known
the meaning of the word home, 1t was
like opening the gates of Elysium. The
winged hours of the golden days few
by so fast that he dreaded the recur-
renee of every dawn-of the miserable
day when he must go back to Brooklyn
and solitude. Wanda seemed his special
pet. Wanda took him glorious walks
by the side of the mighty river. Wanda
hired pony carriage and drove him
down the lanes among the pines.
Wanda sang him his favorite songs in
the evening, and with her own fair
fingers time and again filed his big
meerschauln with latalKia.
To George Arundel the old gentleman
took great fancy. Touched with in
finite compassion for the young mans
af1iction, he sought his scsiety, and
soon learned to love his gentle nature.
This shrewd old man soon guessed
the blind lads secret.
Love that little witch, Wanda-of
course he does-who could help ii.
Well, we must do something to cure
him of his Madness" he muttered to
himself over his pipe.
The way did not seem quite clear ut
first, but chance helped him at last sud-
denly and unexpectedly.
They were sitting one evening on the
stoop, himself and the three ladies,
when George Arundel came across the
street. feeling his way with his cane
after the manner Of the blind. A cart
was driven hurriedly round the corner:
and before the poor fellow could leap
aside the wheel had struck him and.
flung him to the ground.
In an instant Kate Evesham, white asi
o sheet, had dashed to his assistance.
None but Mr.. Hardcastle noticed the
ghastly pallor OF her. check as she
raised him. nor the shadow Of pain
which crossed her face as he muttered
his thanks.
$50 kind OF you, Wanda,-but ann

panion. Never did an old match-nalf-,

he did for this generous girl, who had

With this result. That Arundel, even
quick to appreciate sympathy, soon re-

CONTESTS SETTLED
Democratic Sheriff and Commits

County.
Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Mimi, March 24.-The long
drawn out and bitterly contested elec-
ton cases of Silas Bradley VS.. John F.
Gay, and c. w. Merritt VS.. j. B. Bam-
benek. the former for the posi-
ton of sheriff OF the county, and the
latter for the position of county COM
missioner. have finally been concluded.
The cai0s were tried at continued
term OF the court in February. Judge
Start, of the Third judicial district, and
NJ. j. Severance, judge of the Sixth jul
dicial district, sat upon the case.
Today decisions were filed in the case
setting forth that John f. Gay and j.
b. Bambenek, Democrats, had been
| duly and legally elected to the positions
! OF sheriff and county commissioner, and
that they are entitled to hold such office
| for the term elected. In the decision
construction is placed upon section Sc
! OF the election law, which seems to
have been differently construed by
prominent attorneys. The words 1.-TWO
Judges" in this section were held not
| necessarily to mean two judges
of different political parties. In
closing the decision the judges say:
| when the exceptional conditions eX-
| listing in the precinct in question, in
! this case, and the customs and amuSe-
| ments of its people are considered, in
! weighing the evidence, we are not only
! satisfied that the contestant has has not
| proven his alterations of fraud and i'll
| tlmldatlOn, but that il affirmatlvely ap-
| pears that the election in this precinct,
although irregular, was fair one"
