And, like a hawk awaspingdowa on its quarry, she bore down on Biddy. aBe off at once!" she creel. ``How dare you enter my houee!" "Stow you jaw!" said Biddy, unmoved; and thou she produced Kenneth's card, and thrust it aggrteesively under Aunt Hannah's nose. "That's his card, ain't it? Wall, I've come to see him and Sally, and do4't budge tilt I dee" "What have you to do -with Sarah? We don't want an the riff-raff of Cow court here!" "That's just what yer will have unless I see the gell." replied Biddy; and then she seated herself on the hall chair, took out her pipe and announced her determination to stay tiU Kenneth came. TO the great disgust of Lis aunts, Ken- neth, when he returned, ushered Biddy into his study, and was closeted with her for half an hour. Biddy explained that as. Tim was dead she conaidered herself Sally's guardian, and Cow -Court entirely ratified thia view. Before loaving, Biddy remind- ed Kenneth that them was an ancient and laudable eustom of drinking one's host's health. Kennethransomed himself from this obligation by a cashpayment of half a erowne The aunts never knew what hadtake at this interview. He merely saiet that Biddy had something to tell him about Sally's early life.. "Nothing creditable, Fil warrant," said Hannah, and he made no reply. v. ior musie master uas proposed to tior-ot course she had refused him." "And why of course?" asked Aunt Hai II lab, sharply. "For the best of all reasens-shi; doesn't love WM. " 'Fiddlestick! The men`L lionest , 1 suppose, and can give her a good huino. hoeprang from the gut ter, and can't expect to leek and choose." "She had better goback to the gutter than marry without 1ov4," answered Ken- neth. Sally wrote simply and straightforwardly. The trouble of it was that there had been so much talk that .Miss -Addison thought she must leave at mice, and had (subject to Ken- neth's Approval) obtained for her the post of pupil teacher in a school at Streatham. Thou came a pretty little bit, in which Sally said she hoped she had acted in a way that Ken - both approved. "She's ft brick!" he said, emphatically. -- "She Most come her ,.for a week before going to Streatham," said Mattie. VI. , Sally- was to come at five. • Kenneth wan- dered what she was like. He expected to find her neat, orderly and well mannered. At five he went into the drawing room and waited: Five -fifteen and no Sally -five thir- ty and he came. For a • moreeat he stared at her in silence -the years had done so much. She stood with outstretched hand - her great, soft eyes sought his. He noticed in a stupilied way that she moved with ex- quisite grace and lightness. He would have liked to kiss her, but that was clearly out of ta.the question, so he. warmly grasped her hand iu both his.. Seven 'ears had rolled. _ by. They had. I ,„ "Why, Sally dear, my littie girl grown passed ligTitiv over Kenneth, only changing I into. a tall young lady!" ' Deep as any "inmost heart of rose" the young blood flushed into Sally's cheeks. . "Yes," she answered, 'Melt still the same Sally." Then Sally took Iiweet count of hint iu one quick, shy glance. Her heart told her that ilex er had she seen ahythiug- so goodly. as this bright young- Eaglishman, as he stood beeore her -wit:gay, glad eyes. Half playfully, half tenderly, he led .her to a sofa, and said: "Now, Sally-, tell mo eVerything." "Where shall I begin?" , "From the moment I left England. Vhen I left, you. had high shoulders and wore short frock, and called in `site"..' "I must eall your 'sir' still. Bat look at the dear old roona-it isn't a. bit deluged. I wonder who has dusted it since I've been away!" Then she went to .seek the aunts. "To think that she came out of Clow court!". ea -id Kenneth, - watching her cross the hall, "and that weeds call 'grow into such sweet flowers! Bac I won't -make a fool of myself." . "And now. Sally, sing to us," said Aunt Hannah after dinner. This was the supreme moment Sally had looked forward to for ybare. She knew she had a superb vole--- kuew exactly what her powers were, au. felt in full pos- session of them. When 'elm sat down to the piano a soft flush carne to her eheeks and a light to her eyes.She ehosa an old the youth of V, into a Inas of 29. They had brought a few more gray hairs to Aunt Mattie, a few mere angularities to Aunt Hannah; but they had" absolutely trans- formed Salle-. During the tirst two years Kenneth had stayed at home, then he had accepted an appointment at Buenos Ayres, where he had to stay for five years. Wben he left England Sally was a promising girl of 14, and he was easy about her future, for step by step she had won her way into the household, first gaining the hearts of the servants, then Aunt Mat - tie's, and then by slower degrees Aunt Han- nah's. Sally as a child, girl and woman was unchanged in one thing -the little wil-3 heathen heart had gone out to Kenneth when he fought for her, and remained his al- ways. IIer love had grown with her growth -education and. refinement were as sunshine and dew to it, fostering and feeding. At first it was arranged that she was to be trained for sere -ice, but her wonderful de- velopment altered their plans. Then she was to be aipreetievel to some first-rate shop; and, lastly, trained as a teacher. So she was sent to Keusiogton high school, and spent her holidays at Bedford lodge. She was gardening oue June morning soon after Kenneth's departure, and Aunt Hannah watched the tall, lithe figure moving about among the flowers. "Who," she exclaimed, "would ever have believed that the dirty child Kenneth brought bone that memorable evening would ever leek like that?" "She might be Flora amid her own flowers," said Matte, gently. The very sight of the girl seemed to bring' gladness into the hearts of the two old spinsters. Aunt Hannah had softened wonderfully under Sally's pretty influences, and, as for Mattie, Sally was enshrined in her heart next to her own dear Kenneth. "Sister," said Hannah, abruptly, leaving the window, "we ought to think seriously about Sally. We love her dearly, but"— "But what?" asked Meath., aretiously. "But,. of course, she comes oat of the gutter. Our first duty is to Kenneth -we must let him run no risk." "He has no thought of that; besides he won't be back for five years." "Sha must go to a god boarding school and be trained as a governess. She is pretty will she be when she has out- grown the wkwark age?" - "But, nah, delft let us lose her alto_ gethee." "Melia a ways make fools of themselves over -bee d always will." At this mer- men ly earae to the open window with two posies in her. hand. Her cheeks were flush with a tender, rosy glow, her eyes sparkled with happy life. 'Thi e is for you„" she cried, pinning the poey in Aunt Mattie's dress. ' "Flowers are for the young, dear, the old never want them till the end comes. Never- theless, Mattie tucked them in prettily and glanced at the mirror. Then Sally made a rush at Aunt Hannah, but was repulsed with: "Be off with your tomfoolery, Sally! Put your ftowers in, water and go and practice." But Sally coaxed till she gained_ her point, and the eervants stared to see Aunt Hannah's uncompromisingleft shoulder daiutily adorn- ed. After lunek Mattie tried to look stern, though tears etood in her loving eid eyes. "Sarah., my dear," she said. eeedly started at the unusual "Sarah"), "you are. 14 no w and we have detertaMed to send you to a good boarding seamen" "Whatleave you all!" 'Tied Sally, turn- ing pale. "You will spend part of veur holidays here,, perhaps," said A.unt lianitali. "Re- member, you have to earn your living. ly nephew can't always keep you in idleness." Sally' dark eyes flashed, as elle ateovertel: "He has dine so inuch; you mayetinist Inc to, do the rest. They said at sellout I had a flue voice. If I worked hard I -might"- "You'd have to toil for years to earn even your bread, but 111 Fee to it. - She did so and speedily. The very next day Amu Hannah walked Sally off to a pro- feseer to give his opinion of Ler singing. Aunt Hannah sat upright, umbrella in hand. "Youv ili understand, professor, 'my opin- len is there's been no real singing- since Malibran (lied, and I'd have half your moe- eru ecreeelang women gagged. This girl thinks she has a voice, eo let her sing to you antt have done -with it" When Sally had finished no verse of a ballad, Aunt Hamm ejaeulated, "Goodness, gracious, bit's the girl!' At the ond of the second, the professor said: "Tie! voice is a real contralto of great beauty, hat it needs training and years of heed stud v." "ft shall have both," said Aunt Hannah. * * * 0 * Five- years afterward, when Kenneth re- turned from Buenos Ayres, Sally was still at echoed. .Almost the Met thing he said was: "What have tho ye -ars done for my little Sally "That etvleaf talk won't do,"" .aid Hannah. "When Sally crubbed floors it didn't mat- ter; iihe is a pretty young lade- now, and things are different." - "There was teething pretty about Sally when I left but her eyes. I shall never for- get how frightfully sharp her elbows were.' "She's the best and dearest and 'prettiest Ora in the world," said Mettle. "I hopo she is unchanged in some things," said he. If he could have looked into Sally's heart he would have seenone thing unchanged. It still seemed as right and natural to her to lova Kenneth as to- love'Gd; both had been so good to her. HOInatillleS Sii0 recalled the dark vision of Cow court,. hut even that caught a glory from the thought that there Kenneth • first found her, There was one black memory connected with thosedays that nothing could brighten, but that she kept haldenin the depths of her heart. r "There's a. letter from Sally," cried Ken, metlet one day at breakfast; and then he *ht." she has: had an offer of marriage. - Scotch ballad -a simple, tender thing, that needed perfect style and expression. Ken- neth started RS her first notes fell on the air. Hers waa one of them thrilling, deep contraltos, soft as velvet, iich and rounded, with the strange power to stir and move that tho good contralto has. The spell of her voice fell upon him, tears 'came to his eyes; harnoved forward to see her sweet, impas- sioned face as she Sang; . he saw her soul flashing in the sweet, dewy eyes, and a great awe and love arose in his heart. The song ended in a deep, solemn chord, like the echo of an amen. Sally turned to Kenneth. "Did you like it? I have labored so hard for your praise." He did not speak at first,. but when she raised her eyes to his she saw there a look 80 eager, so ardent and sweet, that she al- most wished she had not spoken. He caught her hand in his. "Am I pleased? Oh, my dear, surely you know; it is too beautiful for praise of mine." Sally sang no more that night, but felt she was rewarded. That song had changed the world for Kenneth. Could a man's heart be sung out of him in such fashion? Were the days of magic kill with us, and had this sweet witch of 19 summers made him forget all prudence and wisdom? . Next morning he was full of content, bath- ed in the brightest mental sunshine; joy was in his heart, love ruled his life. Sally wee in the house. Sally was his -surely all his? had he not fought and conquered for her; He sang as he dressed, breaking off to laugh at the contrast of his rough baritone with Sally's velvet tones, and it was not. till he saw his aunts -the very models of fiunily propriety -that he realized the difficulties of his position. But little sleep had come to Sally that night. Love has divine insight, and when their eyes met after her song she knew that he loved her. But ho should never • marry her. Her valiant heart screwed itself up to the sticking point and settled that forever. Tho consciousness of his love came on her as a bitter-sweet surprise. When, finished with her song, she looked into his eyes and saw love there radiant and enthroned, her difficulties were at one stroke doubled. When her own heart was her only foe she had buckled on her armor and gone down into the fight; but now she had to face another foe, before whom she felt powerless. Flight was her only chance. At 6 she rose and packed, at 7 she went to Aunt Hannah. "I am b4-,olng away," she said. "I ought never to have come." Aunt Hannah'e honest eyes searched her face in silence. "I shall never teene back; it is the only way. I thought 1 was strong, and I was, till he was weak." Aunt Hannah took her in her arms, kissed her and said, "I honor a.nd respect you, Saiiy. I saw it all last night. You are a good woman." "A grateful one, I hope. After all your and his kindness, can Ilet him run any risk?" "But it is terrible for you, my child." "I can bear my own grief. I have loved him for so long my heart has got used to its ache. It is harder now, but still I can bear I At breakfast Aunt Hannah said Sally had slept ill and could eat Ino breakfast. All Kenneth's inquiries got nothing more out of her than that. At 12 Sally went quietly out of the back door, her oyes full of tear, her heart like lead. At lunch Aunt Hannasaid: "Sally has gone, Kenneth -for your good as well as her own. She has saved ns • terrible trouble by acting so nobly." Then Kenueth lost is head, but Aunt Hannah presented a front of iron. "It was the right thing to do, and so you will own in time. Be atient. My__ heart is sore for you both; but yon are young, and life with its duties is fore you. At any rate, don't let a girl of 1t beat you in self- sacrifice." But Kenneth flung Litmily, pride to the winds, and said: "You may say what you like; I'll marry her to -narrower she'll have rue." . , Aftee an hour's hot d bate he agreed to ci wadt a month. VII Sally went to Miss P rker's school. sine had to face all the dru gery of preparing the girls for their lesson,, and taking them safely through the rudiments. She knew what awaited her and d d not flince. Dur- ing the last five years shb had learned how to master her love, to us it as an incentive to hard work, but it was easier to fight the battle alone; to fight at in Kenneth's pre; sence was imponsible. Day by day she plunged with feverish or into the work or teaoning, pasaaing on with, a pale race and heavy eyes through the long list of pupils. During the night 'watches she thought, it was a hundred times better that she should staler than lie, better that the ‘eeenee elven,' eotne now ta et that he should marry her, and his goal 1:1:;:•• be clouded by her eh:in:ea:I si I q'y. , , nth! p.t'i,(*(1 11101.0 I filickly. for Kenneth, for at il. • end of it shone 11 ele, Sally had Iloilo. I . 'When the month was ever Kenneth Said, "Toility I am going to Sally." ' 1•11'hat! you will let, the whim of a mo- ment- ruin your life!" said Hannah. "If I followed your advice two lives worild be ruined." That very day he wont to St I-ea:ham, Sally's work had been harder than usual. . The everlasting exereiseS, the never ceasing :wales, the persistent wrong notes, the 0110r - mous difficulties of teaching suburban young ladies without voice or ear to slug had worn her out. .. Suddenly a pupil exclaimed, "Oh! there is such a handsome young man coming up the drive." (Sally was unmoved; no young man was likely to ('all on hee.). "Ho . must have come to see Miss Davis° . That's four cous- ins in three weeks!" Sally looked up and sae- Kinineth. Her heart seemed to rush it to hoe mouth. She dismissed the girl and }*teadjod herself. A mirror was in front of her, eehd she saw, her own face pale as death, With dark shadows round the eyes. She wire a dingy old black dress, but oven that co ild not conceal the grace of tho lovely y rung 4ck and the swoop of the beautiful s ioulderiL And now Kenneth entered, and When she saw his ra- diant face, full of strength and fervor, she felt that he looked year's younger than she did. That sorrowful, girlish face, full of pathetic endurance!, appealed to his- heart irresistibly, and without a moment's thought he flung his arms aroma her add kissed her. - All Sally's 19 years o life culnduated in that first unvvarrailtable embeace. As her pretty, flushed face rested for a moment on his shoulder, her heart Whispereld, "Why not rest theis forever?" Tletu she el -embed her- self free, and her blush ebbed away, leaving her as pale as marble and`as ha el. "You might, at least, have spared me this, and left me some self-respect," she said, looking ilke it young joalii of Ac. He ought to have telen abashed and him bled, but he wasn't. "Sally!" he whispered, so tenderly that she drew back again, mistritting herself and him. "Sally, I love you , you know I do." Sally tried hard to keep back the flood of joy that welled up from her heart into her oyes. . "Do men in' your rank of life act like that and speak afterward?" Looking down into the sweet depths of her eyes, he said: "Oh, my love, you are wasting moments that might be so sweet. :We' leire each"— Ere he could finish Sally.flasbed in: "Who told you I loved you? , Have I ever led you to think I loved you?" Ho gazed at, her with such sweet, manly assurance that she felt, her anger melting away. "Sally, my darling, I See it in your eyes - hoar it in your voice. 'reeve as given me insight." "Of course you know l,." And her voice. took those thrilling tone which had moved his heart so when she sang. "I dare say every one does. I have loved you for years, and shall love You always. I am not ashamed to own it. It has been the strength of my life. If you had never spok- en rshould have gone on loving you all the same, and gone down to My grave single for your sake; but oh, ray loVe, I shall never wed you -never be with you" , Kenneth would once more have flung. his arms around her, but she composed herself by a great effort, and said: "Wait just a moment and I will tell you all." "You told me all when you said you loved me." _ "Not all. Let me speak once and forever. What I am you made Inc. All I have you gave me; and in return I mean to guard your good name -to guard it from yourself and from me." He interrupted h.ert with and impatient gesture, but she persist- ed. "You know what I was when you found me You think you know all, but no one ever told you that thad been in prison for theft -that I had my hair cut short - wore prison dress and ate prison tood, and" - Her voice failed her -her face !grew deadly white -her hungry oyes searched his face to see if he shrank from her. To her joy the brightness of his eyes never clouded for a moment. He took her hand with a sweet gesture of love and reverence, and holding It steadfastly between his own, he spoke: "Dear, I know it -have known it for years; Biddy came and told me long ago; and, knowing all, I still ask you_to be my wife." Sally's blood slowly came back to her pals cheeks, slowly flooded 6r• fair face with its - tender rose, slowly the 6tveet light mingled with the tears in her eyes and conquered them. It was so doubly sweet that he should know all and yet love on. Her joy at first was too great for word. She moved a little closer to him, them with swift, sweet aban- donment she flung her Arms around his neck and drew his face down to hers. "But, dear," she wiiispered, "the world will know." As their Bps met he answered: "You are all the world tn me." 1 The Courtesies of Life. Civility is a very deeirsble trait of chaif- acter, and sensible people should make a poiat of keeping it on hand; civility is one of the Christian graces ; it Is obli- gatory upon a lady or gentleman, and it is excellent stock in trade for those who wish to get on in the world, We mean civility, not servility. ! To cringe and fawn and flatter is despicable. Ostentatious politeness, with a profusion of bows and tine speeches, may be burdensome ; but a kind word of greeting, a polite attention, a little act of courtesy is quite another thing. There are people who have a great deal of that pride which givts one the assurance of being "just as good as anybody else, if not a little better," fancy that to care nothing for what others feel, to take the best, and be the foremost by dint of pushing, and never on any account to 'allow another preced- ence, is to assert themselves properly. This is a great mistake ; such conduct, in- stead of being -an evidence of true independ- ence of character, is a mark of ignorance and vulgarity. , In England and in smne parts of conti- nental Europe, vulgar 1 people are rude t) those beneath them and servile to those ebove them. In this free country, where there is no titular rank, the -ignorant and 1 ll -mannered are sometimes rude to richer or More fashionable people in order to show their independence. This is less ignoble than the European ashion, but it is more•detrimental to those ho are guilty of it. .11 n business it is very poor policy indeed. -.1.1, any American trade - nen find merchonics,Imany millinezs and dri ssreakers havelailed because of the rude - pegs which they suppo6ed would maintain their diginity, and which customers, who themselves would never be uncivil, were unabl6. to endure. Polite attention to a outtomer's wishes, the little "thank you" on receipt of an order;Tmarked courtesy to everyone -in short, the constant observance of the golden rule, ha si made the fortune of many a man and litany a woman. One millionaire in the dryl goods _business as- cribes his prosperity, in a large degree, to the fact that he never Oermated an imper- tinently "independent" clerk to remain be- hind his counter. It is an old adage a at "manners make the mau." They certainly have a gool deal to do with the making of a successful man. -New York Ledger.
