Inc last years ENss1$y
of John Ralston's
life had been full of anxiety and strug.
gle. TlsHe was mortgage on the old
homestead. and at one time 1t seemed
a foreclosure could not be avoided
Then in some way he secured the mon.
es to pay 1t off, and fortunately it
was clear of encumbrunce when he
died. That was just month after
Eunice married Randall Marsh.
Her heart warmed as she thought
OF the loyal, whole-souled man who
had come into her life at critical
time. It had been generally supposed
that Randall had some little means,
for he was industrious and thrifty, but
when Mr.. Ralston died Randall stepped
into his place, practical, hard working
and self-sacrihcing.
The tears fell as Eunice reached the
storeroom, and lifted the top of the
fancy box she had herself covered, In
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given 1t to Mr.. Raj
stoh on his last birthday. Euhice re.
moved some articles Of apparel tender.
~ and with care, placed them on
chair, and discovered some handker.
chiefs and three pairs Of stockings
rolled up neatly. She took the top pair
uildid 1t and with satisfaction noted az
1t uhrolled that it was new and whole.
"Why, what can this bel" she ut
tered, as an envelope fell from the re-
leased folds. Her wonderment III.
creased as she picked 1t up and found
It unsealed and inside written page
and a peculiar looking key. Then
with staring eyes, breathless, stirred to
the depths Of her soul, she read:
"After attn gone see that this letter
and key are given to Randall Marsh.
It has been secret he made tne prom.
ise never to divulge, that he gave me
money to pay off the mortgage. Poor,
noble hearted fellow he had saved the
$4,000 to build a little home, and gave
It feely to benefit US all. Month by
month have saved what could, and
have placed the money III a safety de.

great cry Of Joy. She could scarcely
