One day a handsome boy of good fam

Poor John! He gave his consent and
his blessing as we'll. What else could
he do. not knowing but that Amber

| DEAR LITTLE AMBER.
--~"v---,

At the sound Of football in the cor
ridor he laid down his pen and leaned
wearily back In his big armchair.
Presently a hand thrust back the
curtain from the doorway and his wife
entered. She was gowned for the even
ing in her favorite color-dull yellow.
There were diamonds at her throat and
In her gold-brown hair. She looked
radiant with pleasure.
Shall I do?" she asked, coming for
ward and leaning upon the desk with
her hands, palms downward.
He inspected her Acknowledgements
cally. she thought.
You will do very WE'LL" he said at
last. What is it tonight. Amber7"
Faust l am going with the Ken
dalls. Lawrence"
He took up his pen with a slight
gesture of impatience that effectually
silenced her. Half the Joy died out
OF her face. She stood a moment watch
ing him as he wrote; then she went
round and laid her hand timidly ON his
| shoulder.
john" wistfully.
well"
She hesitated, hoping he would look
up or say something more; but he did
neither.
II am going now. Good-by."
"Good-by."
1t was the tone. not the words, that
brought sudden dimness into her
eyes. She fingered still with her hand
on his shoulder. Then she slowly re-
moved 1t and stole out of the room.
AS the curtain ceased swaying behind
her the pen dropped and John Sarles
covered his face with his hands. He
heard a carriage stop at the curbing
and the front door close with bang.
He heard a mans voice and mans
gay laugh-both Lawrence kendall's;
then there was rumble Of wheels and
he lifted his head with a jerk. Some
thing like sob escaped him.
Lawrence" she had said. 1t had
come to that. then! Lawrence! John
Sarles knew him well-knew how his
handsome face and winning smile en-
deared him to the hearts Of women
how he was sought after, petted. ad-
mired.
Ah. well. 1t was something, after ali.
to be born with handsome face and
straight. strong limbs. John sarles
looked bitterly at the crutch leaning
against the chair and thought that be-
cause Of 1t life had withheld much Of
its sweetness for him. Wealth and
even a powerful intellect which put
him in touch with the brightest think
ers I the day failed to make up to him
for that.
| He had been on the point of sinking
into the self-imposed isolation Of q
proud, morose nature when Amber
came-Amber, the little daughter Of
his only intimate friend. who. dying.
had intrusted her to his care.
Soon the music of her laughter had
chased away the ghostly eohooo from,
the lonely old house and the light of
her happy eyes frightened every room.
Her books strewed the tables. her fiow-
ers filled the long-unused vases. her
gowns made bits Of color against the
dark walls as she fitted up stairs and
down.
| Gradually all became changed be-
cause of her. New furniture replaced
