as possible between times How he
longed for the morning to come So he
could talk to Ben about the future. Ben,
on hearing the good news, was, Of
course, delighted, When he was we'll
enough he was introduced into the doc
tors family, which included the doc
tor, his wife and two girls.
Strange, wild hopes filled Ben's heart
when once again he was alone with bis
thoughts, and lay down to dream of
the beautiful girl who had been so cor
dial to him. The next morning he
awoke to find 1t dream, and in per-
forming his duties that day realized
that he was poor boy only and must
Danish the dream Of the previous ev-
ening. "She will soon return to COL
lege, but it will be one aim in nay life
to make the Doctors daughter my
wife"
Years passed, and we find our hero
in a banking office. With the assist
ance Of the doctor he had schooled him
self and was one day appointed clerk,
in an Office. Ben had become quite a
favorite, consequently he received
many invitations. Ono day he receiv-
ed note from the Doctors daughter to
call at her home. Ben accepted with
pleasure, knowing he would once
again see the face of the one he adored.
1t was long distance to her home. At
last it was reached and he was ushered
into the parlor. He received a very
warm welcome, but saw sight that
filed him with regret. Often when he
was in the service Of the doctor the doc
tor read his daughters letters aloud.
How often he had heard Of certain
lawyer who had paid his attentions to
the one he loved; but tonight he had
met him with his loved one, both ra-
dainty happy.
How he longed for the time to part.
When it did come she insisted on his
calling at an early date. She even
named The evening.
Ben called week after week, and one
night decided to speak to the doctor
for his daughters hand. The doctor
was delighted, as there was no one he
liked better than Ben.
II have acted like fool" said Ben,
"but when l call on her again l will
declare my poverty and probably be
1espised for my impertinence." Such
was not the case. as Cupid had pierced
two hearts at the same instant.-Mary

SHE WEARS NO RING.

wanted to know what the dickens that
great healthy baby was doing in his
place.
At last one OF the doctors suggested
that they call a certain philanthropic
young lady whom he knew into their
counsel, and when she came she really
had some thing to suggest.
She knew Of such nice place up
town, half charity and half pay, where
they took limited number of babies
and gave them special, individual, and
wonderful care.
There was vacancy there at pres
ent, and for small monthly payment
she could get Agnes in-the question
was, could 1t be done?
So Agnes moved away from her first
home, and to the disgust Of her assort-
ed parents, seemed to rather enjoy the
change, and began to grow fatter than
ever.
At the hospital all had been well. 1t
was not hard to steal one unwelcome
baby from among so many, and none
of the authorities ever knew-that is,
for good while.
But one morning something happen
ed. A carriage drove into the great
court, queer, dark man jumped out,
asked for the warden, and was closeted
with him for an hour.
Next there was great running
among the clerks, and turning over OF
records-a few blasts from the warden,
and protests from his assistants, and
then at last certain house physician
was sent for in post haste.
And then, swiftly, clearly, sadly, he
was told the story of that dark-eyed
girl who had died there so many
months before, leaving behind her no
name or history-only little, helpless
child.
The swarthy stranger told this
own dark eyes burning first with an
ger and then with tears.
He had known the poor young moth
er years ago in-well, in another coun-
try-and he had loved her, too.
She had meant to marry him, until
one day stranger came, who had won
her quite away from his old rival. The
stranger had said that he was rich

AGNES HISTORY.

She was born In the prison ward o,
the big hospital
Her mother, a slender, dark-eyed
girl of barely 20, had been arrested for
fortune telling only two weeks before,
and now lay sad and silent, unheedin0
Of the doctors, the nurses, or even the
chubby bunch that kicked and cried DO
side her.
She did not seem to remember about
the baby. Even when they held 1t up
before her she did not realize that 1t
belonged to her, and that II her life
ended another weaker one would be
left to fight and face the world alone.
And SO that night she died. The
doctors knew they could not save her.
because she did not care to live.
How beautiful she must have been"
the night nurse whispered. DO you
know anything about herr"
The doctor shook his head. mo" he
answered, nothing beyond the fact
that she told fortunes to save herself
from death, and SO brought on this
last misfortune, which made her wish
to die. When l asked her II she had
no home, and where the baby's father
was, she just began to cry. You see"
and he took the limp, white hand be-
tween his own, "she wears no ring"
NO" the nurse said. quickly. but
she has 1t here" and she drew out q
little cord that lay about the slender
neck, and on it hung plain gold we'd
ding ring.
In the morning the question arose,
What shall we do with herr" As
usual thing the babies whose mothers
deserted them in this fashion were
packed off to the founding asylum,
but doctors as we'll as nurses had fallen
in love with her.
At last it was decided, and with the
warden's consent she was carried OF to
ward where not shadow Of the hate
full prison bars was left upon that
small, bright face. But there arose the
necessity Of a name, and little con-
clave was held around her bed one
morning.
1t was easy enough to decide upon
the first name-it should be Agnes,
after the nurse who had known and
loved her first down in the prison
ward, and so, with the aid of the chap
lain, she was christened, but when they
came to decide the second name that
was not so easy, for some wished her
to keep the name her mother used, but
others, knowing it was false, rebelled,
and SO they let the question rest, and
she was only Agnes"
And, though she ruled them all, yet
what good baby she was, and how
bright and pretty, with dimples in her
cheeks and on her toes and fingers,
and great Greasy bracelets round her
chubby arms and legs.
So things went on and every one was
happy, when suddenly it dawned upon
the older ones that this could not go
on forever.
One Of her own special doctors fin
ished his term and went away, and
then one of her nurses went, and the
others began to see that in time they
all would go, and that the hospital au-
thorities were not in the habit of bring
ing up orphan babies in their wards a
fact which was emphasized one day
when the warden, who had forgotten
all about her. stumbled over her when
she came creeping up to him, and
