THE WAY OF LIGHT.
The quiet village street was utterly de-
serted that hot July afternoon. It was the
sacred hour when all the good people a
Dexter were taking their usual afternoon
ideate. The village itself seemed to be
taking a perpetual nap which would probably
never be disturbed. The very dust lay in
the road and on the leaves as if no rampant
wind ever played Hot with it. The great
elms, which stood like sentinels on either
side of the street, seemed holding their
breath for fear of awaking the slumbering
town.
Two adventurous young people, however,
were playing tennis in a listless way behind
the high cedar hedge which separated ons old
mansion from the street, their fresh VOlOSS,
with now and then a ripple of girlish laugh-
ter, chiming in and seeming to intensify,not
break, the *tams. Presently the rackets
were thrown down, and they seated them-
selves on the grass under a maple-tree,to talk
in low murmurs, with no and then one of
those silences without which no conversation
is eompIete.
The old, square, dingy -white house stood
back frozn the road, surrounded with an
ample expanse of grassy lawn, kitchen and
tower gardens, and tennis ground. Its
weather-beaten roof bad sheltered genera-
tion after generation of Badgers,butthefarnity
had :gradually died out, or drifted west and
cityward, after the way of New Englanders,
and now there were only two left in the old
homestead, Helen Badger,tbe sweet, patient
invalid who had itot left her bed for many
years, and„:Mrs. Sophia Phelps, a widow,
and the busy and bustling Martha of the
hoeschold.
To this quiet haven of peace and plenty
had drifted our heroine, Dorothy Forbes;
young, aweet and captivating, fresh from
school, and detailed to rusticate for a little
until there was a prospect of the elder Miss
Forbes' marriage, for Miss Dorothy was al-
together too pretty to appear just at
present.
As for Jack Badger, a cynical young Am-
herst senior, what charm had brought him to
this out -of -tile -way home of his ancestors was
a problem, the key to which was locked in
his own breast. Rumor, in the shape of col-
lege friends, ascribed his sudden withdraw-
al from civilization to a city belie who had
made some sensation in Amherst society the
preceding winter, and had carried away
several scalps at her belt. However this
may be, Jack was here, and Dorothy was
here. et us watch developments.
They were cousins, just distant enough to
add a charming flavor of possibility to their
relations. A pretty cousin is much better
than a sister, as every young fellow knows.
Jack was not yet old or cynical enough to ex-
perience thrill of pleasare as he took Dor-
othy's soft, dimpled hand in hie own, and
traced out the criss-cross wrinkles on the
pink pain with his forefinger, calmly aug-
uring her fate.
" Yon are in love, Cousin Dorothy, the
fates. tell me."
"Do the fates tell you, or your own con-
ceit, Cousin Jack ?" which sally brought a
flush to the fair and the brown cheek.
" Love ? What is love ?" pursued the young
philosopher. "It is simply a delusion, a
state of imagination in which one perceives
in the beloved object all sorts of virtues
which never existed. Don't think I shall
ever he so foolish as to endow some ordinary
person with qualities which he never pos-
seated. When I marry, it will be solely
from mercenary motives, a question of
where I can find the moat money."
"Don't talk so,. Dorothy," cried Jack, so
sharply that she started at the pain in bis
voice. "For heaven's sake don't let match-
making relatives and the shams of society
change you from the sweetepare girl you are
now to a mercenary flirt like the society wo-
men I know. Promise me yogi won't talk or
do so, dear,"
His voiee was very pleading and his dark
eyes very near hers, so what could she do
but laugh and blush and promise, with a
strange, sweet thrill in her heart ? Poor
Dorothy 1 So rapidly learning that sad-
dest and sweetest lesson of all we have to
learn.
Promptly at four o'clock Dexter began to
awaken and to prepare for tea at five. At
that hour the tinkle of a silver bell summon-
ed Dorothy and Jack to the cool, dainty
dining -room, where Aunty Sophia " pre-
sided over a tiny table with fragile old china
and shining silver, where the snowy bread,
delicious raspberries, first of the season,
pink dried beef, fragant tea and golden
sponge cake made a tempting repast.
There was a. quaint air of old-fashioned
hospitality, of solidity and worth all over
the house, even in the dark and forbidding
parlor, that bugbear c.f old- New England
houses, where the slippery horse -hair sofa
had a. knowing look, as if it were thinking
of the many lovers who had there " setup
in solemn state on Sunday nights. But the
cozy sitting -room was the room they liked
best, with its well-worn rag carpet, its com-
fortable chairs and useful table, the open
fireplace, now kept filled with green leaves
and flowers by Dorothy's willing hands, and
the cool, little vine -shaded porch, where
they sat these summer evenings, listening to
the music of the frogs and an occasional whip-
poorwill.
Oat of the sitting -room opened Aunt
Helen's bedroom, where lay the " soul of
the house," as Jack called her ; her sweet,
white face and patient eyes telling of pain
and sorrow bravely borne and nobly con-
quered. Many an hour did Dorothy spend
by her side, reading to her, or better yet,
talking in low tones of life, its sarrows,mys
teries and compensations. Many things
were revelations to this city girl, fresh from
a fashionable school, whose only idea of the
future was as a fair garden of promise ;
but she was growiug, mind soul and heart,
in these summer days, though perhaps the
most in heart.
All too swiftly passed the days with
reading, riding, rowing, tennis, letters,
long rambles with "Cousin Jack " as pro-
tector, and the various sodalities of the
neighborhood ; and Dorothy was able to
laugh at and pity "the girls "who were
spending the summer at,fashionable resorts.
Sire was rather an old-fashioned little maid-
en, and would have found it hard to confess
even to herself what made the charm of this
sweet summer; but older eyea see clearer,
toraetimee, and Aunt Helen often sighed as
she saw how completely Dorothy's happiness
leas becoming dependent on Jack'e favor.
She had been, thanks to Madame Prinaud's
strict regime, tolerably well protected from
flirtations, and now that her prince had
corn.e, she would give him her whole heart,
frankly, unreservedly.
One beautiful calm evening, while Aunt
Sophia dozed by the window, Dorothy and
Jack sauntered down across the lane to the
river. It had been a wonderfully happy day
for Dorothy, meaning that Jack had been
unusually kind, and the silvery moonlight
lying- across the water was not calmer or
more peaceful than her face. As often with
quiet natures like hers, the feelings, though
hidden, were fully as strong and enduring as
those of more impulsive natures.
It was no girl's ephemeral passion that
she gave Jeck, but a woman's strong, tender
and steadfast love. Thoughts of it and of
him filled her mind and made her face very
fair and sweet as they launched a tiny skiff
eead floated down the stream. Neither of
them spoke much, the silence being too ex-
quisite to break, and the only sound was the
t.ft plash of the water against the boat.
Presently they entered the woods and float-
ed on, the great trees arching over head, the
MOBIL still making a broken path across the
dark water.
In after life the thought of that evening
came back to Dorothy like a sting of a half-
forgotten sorrow. She could feel again its
subtle charm, compounded of youth, hope
and love, see the -dear face opposite,hear the

Good-hearted, certainly, a trifle Worldly,
something of a coquette and very fascinat-
ing, was Evelyn Bradford. She and Dor-
othy were the kind of girl friends who are
very devoted when together and veryindif-
ferent when separated. As time passed
Dorothy withdrew more and more from the
society of Jack and Evelyn, and very often
sought refuge in Aunt Helen's room, where
the invalid watched with anxious heart this
sorrow come upon the girl who had grown
almost as dear as her own child. But the
situation was too strained to remain this
way long. The end came very soon.
One pleasant sunshiny afternoon, when
mere existence was a joy, Dorothy took a
book and shawl and went down to the sum-
mer -house near the river, a tiny wooden
building with battered sides, overgrown
with woodbine. She threw herself down on
the shawl and tried to read, but soon fell
asleep, only to be awakened by voices out-
side. It was too late to escape, she dared
not betraylier presence, and so was forced
to stay and listen to words which cut her
heart like a knife.
" Why did you come here ?" Jack was
saying passionately. "If you had stayed
away I might have learned to forget, you
and to love my cousin Dorothy, dear little
girl, but now—" and he finished the sen-
tence with an expressive gesture.
" Why need you forget me ?" Evelyn said
in the soft tones she knew how to use so
well.
"Why need I forget you ? Do you sup-
pOse that I want to waste my life crying for
the moon?"
For answer Evelyn hummed -under breath
a strain from the song of Jean Ingelow's
which has voiced the sorrow of many
hearts :
" How could I Know I should love thee away
When 1 did not love thee sneer?
How could I know I should love thee to -day
Whom that day I held not dear ?"
Jack's breath came fast. Evelyn was
pulling a leaf to shreds with tremulons fin-
gers and flickering color. He leaned to-
ward her and said, with the light of a great,
new hope dawning in his eyes:
Evelyn, dear, do you mean that it is
different now from last winter ? Do you
mean that you coulcl learn to love me a little
my darling ?"
She gave him no verbal answer, yet be
seemed perfectly satisfied.
To the lovers these moments bad fled with
their characteristic speed, but to the girl
lying prone on the floor only a foot away
from them, her whole body convulsed with
silent, tearless sobs, it seemed an eternity
since she had come there, careless and
happy. And so this was the end, the end of
all her hopes, of all her dreams. If only
life would end also! But no—she must get
up and go in, and laugh and talk and work
and play day after day and year after year,
just as if she had not lest all that made life
worth the living.
Jack and Evelyn had goue by the time
this thought became clear out of the chaos
that thronged her mind. She went into the
house and crept up the back stairs to her
room, feeling strangely old and tired. She
lay down on her little white bed, and then,
for the first time in her life, fainted.
" Did he ever merry ?" asked Dorothy.
Yes—he married, with evident hesita-
tion,"y-ars after, my younger sister,:
"y -father ! ' was the girl's exclamation.
; "Oh, Aunt Helen !"
"Yes, dear," was the quiet reply. -"Now
you know one reason why you are so ear to
me. I would gladly have saved you this
sorrow, but since neither of us could prevent
it, I want to help yon to make your life
nobler by its means, and not let it be
spoiled. There wis a long time after my
trouble when I expected and hoped to die,
but when God in his wisdom gave back my
life, I tried to make it one wortby the giver.
Dear Dorothy," she continued, stroking the
soft hair with one slender hand, "think
what glorious opportunities you have ! With
youth, health and beauty, money and brains,
all con/emitted to the right, what can you
not do ? There is work for you somewhere,
little girl. You are fit for eemething moro
than a society woman like Evelyn. Let
your sorrow soften your heart to the BOTTOM
and wrongs of others. Many have suffered
things of which yon do not even dream.
Can you not be brave as well as they ?"
There was a light of stern resolve in the
girl's face as she went away that hinted of
greater possibilities than she had yet re-
alised.
Evelyn's engagement was soon announced,
and the happy pair flitted -to Newport for
the rest of the summer, and went out of
Dorotby's life at the same time. Bat she
lingered on at Dexter with Aunt Helen,even
after her family had returned to their city
home, and were urging her to come there
and begin her sealed career, as her older sis-
ter was new dispeeed ef.
In the latter part of September Aunt
Helen fell dangerously ill, and then it was
that -Dorothy found her work. The physic=
ion said he had never seen such a nurse, so
clever, quiet and helpful. She stayed until
the patient eyes of that white saint had
closed forever, and then went to her city
home, not to take her place among the
"four hundred," • society doll, but to enter
one of the city hospitals.
Wjat her life will be it is too soon to tell
yet; hut it is not a pOOM—nay, more, a
snug of praise. Wherever there is sorrow
or suffering there will be found her clear
brain, sympathizing heart, helpful hand and
ready purse. Her life is so full and busy
that she has no time to think of personal
lose or gain. She hes learned the groat les-
son of self-forgetfulness.—Waverly.

Johnson's Succesei.
A great funeral had just passed through
the city streets. The city councilmen had
taken part in the ceremonies for the dead
man, who, in addition to his other honors,
had recently been elected Mayor.
'AI have known Johneon since he was a
lad," one of them said, as they drove back
from the cemetery. "Did yon ever hear
how he got his first step upward ?"
"No," said his companion, who happened
to be the doctor who had attended Johnson
for years.
"Eie and his brother kept a little shop in
a village on the Jersey coast. Wright, the
broker, was sent down last summer for the
sea -bathing, and lodged with them. He
noticed that while one of the young men ate
and slept like other folks, took part in the
affairs of the village, and bad no higher aim
apparently than to earn enough te buy a
little farm and to marry, James, the other
brother, was always busy until late at night,
and up again before day at work over his
books. During the day he developed plans
for making money."
"It is true that the field in which he
worked was narrow and the profits small
but Wright saw that he had strong mental
qualities and that his ambition was enor-
mous. Ile watched him closely, and at the
end of the summer offered binia position in
his office. That was Johnsons first start.
It was the reward of his own efforts. No
'luck.'
"Once in tawn, he pushed his own way.
He gave himself up to business. He want-
ed first fortune, and then position. He was
wealthy when he died, and he had -held
every office with which his fellovr-citizens
nould honor him ; but he was as industrious
to the last as when he was a poor lad.
That man, sir, was in his office at work
every day long before his servants or clerks
had left their beds."
"He will be greatly missed, I suppose ?"
"In beeriness, yes ; but he bite no children,
as you know, and he was an unpopular man.
The fact is, he had no time to make friends,
or to do good to others."
"Do you know his brother ?"
"No, I have heard he was a farmer in
New Jersey."
"I know him,"said the physician, thought-
fully. "He has taken life simply and leis -
surely ; has married and brought up a family
of honest, happy men and wornen. He has
had no inordinate ambition, and has done no
excessive work ; but he has paid his debts
and helped his neighbors. He never will be
riob, nor probably bold an important office,
but he is alive, sound and healthy, and his
influence for good has been a blessing to hie
townsmen, while Johnson, worn out, lies
there. After all," he added, after a mo-
ment's silence, "which was the successful
man ?"
"Johnson would have been pre-eminently
so had he used his wealth for the benefit of
others," said his companion. "Ae it was,
his nature was not enlarged. That which
was the higheat and the beat in him—that
would have made the world richer in noble
thoughts and deeds -was not developed.
"He worked for himself. His ambitions
were selfish, and his heaps of gold are left
for others to squander in idleness and folly.
He did his work like an intellectual machine,
and his soul, shrivelled and undeveloped,
hes gone to its reward. In the best sense
his life was not a success."—Youth's Com-
panion.
How long she was tinoonseione she had
no means of knowing, The sound of voices
and laughter came floating up to her from
the porch below. Jack's bass and Evelyn's
clear soprano. A sudden resolve came to
her, and going to the closet, she took out
her prettiest white dress, with pink ribbons
that were so becoming to her,
coiled her soft
'
hair and then, when dressed, surveyed her-
self in the glass. Great eyes with dark
circles around them, a pinched white face
drawn with sorrow, pale lips—that would
never .do. So, helping herself freely to
Evelyn's cosmetics, she deliberately "made
up " her face until the traces of trouble dis-
appeared. She was not and never could be
a brilliant beauty like her rival, but there
was something infinitely more attractive in
her face, and she had never looked !eviler
than to -night. She went down-atairs with the
step of a queen, or rather, as a queen should
step,to laugh and talk with careless gaiety, as
if she were heart -free and happy. But
when Jack and Evelyn had left the room,
and she had gone to Aunt Helen, the reac-
tion came, and she threw herself down by
the bed, sobbing :
" Oh, auntie, auntie ! My heart is broken !
I wish I was dead !"
The sweet, pale face on the pillow grew
very pitying as the whole sad little story
came oat by degrees. -
"My dear," she said at last, when Doro-
thy had finished and knelt with her face
hidden in the bedclothes, " I know how to
sympathize with you, for I have suffered
just es you are suffering now."
" You, Aunt Helen !' Dorothy said, lift-
ing her face in amazement.
" Yes, dear, I, and it may help you, per -
hap, if I tell you my story and how I learn-
ed to bear it. When I was your age I was
engaged, in fact, preparing to bo married
very soon, and it does not seem as if two
people could have loved each other more
than we did. But when this sickness came,
which has left me as you see, and I knew
that I must be a hopeless invalid, it seemed
right for me to give him up, for I could not
burden him, poor as he was, with a helpless
wife. In my mind no one has a right to
marry who is not able to bear the burdens
and fulfil the duties of wedded life. He
would hardly be reconciled to the thought,
but at last he admitted the wisdom *f my
decision and we parted."
