usual scene that appealed powerfully
10 his warm, sympathetic nature.
A small heap of wretchedly poor
furniture lay on the sidewalk, evident
ly just removed from a two-room tene-
ment. In it's midst, wan, poorly dressed
and evidently ill., was young girl of
about eighteen. Tears filed her eyes
and the look of blank despair in her
tired face made Hugh's heart ache. A
motherly looking woman with a brood
OF tattered children at her heels was
trying to console the poor girl. Her
efforts seemed vain. AS she stepped
aside Hugh spoke to her and asked
her the occasion of the distressing
scene.
"Oh, sir, it's pitiful," broke out the
genuine-souled creature. "She is Ivy
Moore. Her father, who was an old
physician without a practice, died a
month ago. She has been i'll since and
today they evicted her and the poor

to the girl and talked with her earnest

ture cast a glance Of gratitude upon
him. Then. overcome, she sank back
unconscious.
They took her into the rooms Of the
woman, who promised to care diligent-

some money. He told Drake the pitifql
story of the girl when he got back TO
the store.

Well might bluff. hearty. but in

diligently and patronizingly of his
cousin, Hugh Evans. Years before
Drake had been a clerk of the senior
Evans. When the latter died he
turned the business over to Drake.
"All ask, Basil, he said, lis that you
take care of my boy. Help him along
until he can take care Of himself, and
If you feel like giving him start in
life, then, so much the better"
Now, Drake had done fairly we'll for
this quasi ward, in his own estima-
tion. He had sent him to school and
provided for him, but he found Hugh
a good helper about the store and had
Kept him ground down in a business
way. OF late Mrs. Drake had inti-
mated that she wished Hugh would
find quarters elsewhere, not that she
disliked him, but the growing family
needed all the living room in the
house.
Hugh was a good man. When that
was said, 1t covered the case. He was
honest, Industrious, sympathetic and
kindly to all humanity. The Drake
system had in a measure tended to
suppress ambition, but the mental and
spiritual aspirations of the man were
pure and strong. He was content to
remain in the humble situation fate
seemed to have awarded him. AS for
the rest, truthfulness and earnest SEN
timents of humanity for all his fellow
creatures gave to Hugh that greatest
of all blessings, a peaceful mind.

Billy Missed Something.

Ny sister going to call one day on
a school chum, took her little son
along. While there, the hostess
served refreshments on a highly pol
ished table, with only centerpiece
in the center of the table. 1t looked
like a regular meal TO Billy, who
looked first at his mother and then
at the hostess in a puzzled way.
They both began to eat, and finally
Billy with a little sigh, seriously lift
ed his glass and plate and spread out
his napkin under them. His mother
wanted to know why he was doing
that, and Billy, glancing furtiyely at

laughed uproariously as. a month
before the wedding. he took Hugh to
see ''the house and lot"
A narrow strip of land two hundred
feet wide, half a mile in length, lay
between the hills. Once there had
been a house there. It had been
burned down. All that was left was
substantial but rough tool house.
There's your house and lot, just as

Hugh WINGED, but he said quietly:

He set at work to make the big
roomy shell comfortable. One day
while he was hard at work a stranger
came to him.

Then he signed contract to ac-

calculating Basil Drake had put over

Drake looked chagrined and mad
when he learned of the transaction.
One glorious evening, that of their
plain, simple wedding day, Hugh Evans
led his bride to the little cottage of
which he was the proud owner.
"Oh, Hugh!" she breathed ecstat-
ically, as he led her up the path to the
rose-glorifed home, this is not ours?"
"Ours, my dear, yours and mine"
he said
She put her loving arms about his
neck. The blue heavens seemed to
smile down upon them. Then, true
children of the heart, they passed the
humble portal of what was to them
the most beautiful palace in all the
wide, wide world.
