Wry Hamilton took off her, black etraw hat as she spoke and pushed the hair sway from her forehead with a weary gesture. Mrs. Hamilton busied herself with the simple tea table, assidu- ously arranging plates, setting the tea- spoons straight in the saucers, laying the brstter knife at an exact angle and smoothiug away an infinitesimal creme 1 in the white clotla. "He—he—he made a snggestion to eras, Mary, r1 she began nervously. "A suggestion!" Mary Hamilton sat down and eyed her mother expectantly. ''You don't mean that he proposhd to you, mother!" she exclaimed. "Something very like it," • replied Mrs. Hamilton, still keeping herself very busy with the table. For a moment there was silence be- tween them. Mary Hamilton sat look- ing with astonishment at her mother, and at last she spoke. h "I suppose it wouldn't - be a bad thing in the mere way of money, moth- er," she said slowly. "But—but—oh, mother, dear, yon could never bring yourself to do it!

Captain Conway is a good man, and any woman might be honored in marrying him. But my heart is in the grave, and—and, besides, he did not propose—he does not propose that I should consider the question of becom- ing his wife." - • Mary Hamilton stared open eyed at her mother. 'Dear mother," she said gently, "I am tired tonight. The chil- dren were very troublesome today, and the rooms seemed more stuffy than usual. I feel confused. Do tell inc just what Captain Conway did suggest to yon." Mrs. Hamilton began to pour out the tea with a vehemence which showed how perturbed in mind she was.

" , "You inarried for love yourself,' said Mary in a very low voice. Mrs. Hamilton caught up the words and echoed them in the high pitched, querulous accents of a thoroughly selfish and superficial person. "Married for love," she echoed shrilly. ."Yes, and what did love ewer do for me? I mar- ried for -love, married on £80 a year, drudged on it, slaved, toiled, almost starved on it. Don't talk to me abont la:tarrying for love, Mary—love in a cot- tage is a will-o'-the-wisp that leads many people astray, and your iiroor fa- ther and I were among the number.

That was what mewing for love -did for him, poor fellow!He never would own it. He died with his hand in mine—his last words 'The Lord will provide1—and now when provision has come it is only to be rejected." Mary Hamilton sat still while this inconsequent torrent of recollection and vexation poured from her mother's liPh THE tfURON EXPOSITOIL ,At the Visi011 of the red faced, burly, bluff sailor being regarded as a provision sent by the Lord to take her from an Independent life of honest Work to one of degrading idleness, she almost laugh- ed aloud, but she resolutely choked down the inclination and epoke quietly and reasonably to the excited woman on the other side of the table. "Dear mother," he said gently, "cannot you for my sake endure this life a little longer? After midsummer we than be better off. Even now we can well afford to have a woman in to do the rougher work—it bas always been for you, to decide how the money shall be spent. For my sake, dear?" "And why net for mine?" asked the mother fiercely. "Listen! He has laid all his plans before me. You will have a charming horise and garden, a couple of good maidservants, a handsome housekeeping puree, an ample allowance for yonr drees and pocket money. There will always be room for me—I am to live with yon --to give the benefit of my advice, ray experience in house- keeping and all such things. Yon will have as much society as you care to take—there will be no anxiety, no thinking about the rent or bow to get seven days' dinners oat of a certain sum. You will have"— "Oh, don't, mother; please don't!" the girl cried. "I know all these things are a temptation to yon, poor dear.

How thankfully and grate- fully I will bring you every farthing that I make, so that you may be more content, less straitened. Mother, dear, speak for mp! For my father's sake, say that you won't urge thie Amon Inc." But the words of ppeal, glowing, passionate,- heartful as they were, failed to touch the shallow nature of the woman who in her day had married for love and bad found the dinner of herbs turn to dust and ashes between her teeth. She rested her head dejected- ly upon her hand and gave several long drawn sighs of misery, calculated to move the heartiof a stone. "Dear mother!" murmured Mary from the other side of the table. But Mrs. Hamilton shook her head resolutely. "No, Mary, it's no use your saying 'Dear mother!' It's worth noth- •mg: It means nothing. I can't make you marry Captain Conway; indeed, I've no wish to do so. I can't make you see what is best for you, although you might trust your own mother to give you good advice on such a subject. I can do nothing but bear my disappoint- , ment with resignation and fortitude. After all, it is only one more bitter pill ° to swallow, one more drop of bitterness in my cup of hurailiatioa and self sacri- fice. I'll say nothing more, Mary, only —only—don't prate -to me about love and devotion. I've proved the value of both today. And, after all my struggles to give you the hest of education, it's hard, it's heartbreaking." A sudden thought flashed across Mary Hamilton's mind of certain clerical charities which had from the time of her father's death provided her mother with the wherewithal of living, of the great institution wherein she had re- ceived her education free of cost to her, mother and be ause of the position in life which her Ilather had occupied, but she said Within; she felt that it would be useless. "So ray dream ends," said Mrs. Hamilton bitter y. "It says somew ere in the Bible, 'H r children shall rise up and call her b essed.' It's a fallacy, nowadays at le st; for veneration for parents has gon out of fashion." Mary Hamilt n sat back in her chair wondering whe her it would be best to let the storm pass in silence or not. Mrs. Hamilton got up from her Place and went blindly toward the door. I say blindly beeanse s=he went stumbling- ly and groped her way like a person wbose eyes -wera full of te,are.

Mary Hamilton's heart went down to zero as she heard the two littleeimple words which give hope to some anxious watchers of the sick, but which open out endless possibilities of unattainable needs to those who are poorly placed in the world. In her case It meant having an experienced person to tend her mother by day and night alike, for, be the circumstances of life what they would, her work must go on just the same. With the best intentions in the wdrid Wee could not be in two places at once. Yet, how was she to af- ford skilled attendance for her mother? It was a terrible question to answer. At this point the advantages of the alliance which the sick woman had been pressing upon her daughter came promi- nently into view. During the course of the evening Captain Conway arrived, eager and anxious as to his answer, only to be met with the mournful pews that Mrs. Hamilton bad been seized with a paralytic stroke and was still unconscious. His first words were a suggestion. "You will want? nurse," "I shall want some one to look after my mother while I am awaY at my "/ can't let you," began Mary, work," Mary admitted. "For tonight Mrs. Robinson has kindly promised to stay with me, and tomorrow I must find some nice, respectable person"— "I will send in a proper nurse at once," said the sailor, speaking in rough but kindly accents. "Skilled nursing is half the battle in such cases as these. I never did believe in make- shift nursing. It's the very—the very mischief.1' He had been going to use another word, but changed it out of deference to Mary with a very percep- tible effort over the substitution. "I can't let yore" began Mary, at which he put up his hand imperatively.: "Now, Miss Mary, none of that, if you please.

He jarred upon every fiber of ber being. But it was useless to fight longer against fate, even in the person of a man who was utterly and entirely distasteful to her. - She had struggled with dl her might against the sacrifice of h soul's beet instincts, but to no purpo The threads were drawing closer ana closer aronnd her, and if her mother recovered and still demanded the complete sacri- fice of herself against which she bad so passionately fought she had given her word and must carry it through to the very end. Before a couple of hours had gone by a white capped nurse in dainty uniform had arrived at the Tittle house and had installed herself in charge of the case, and when Mary got home from her work the following afternoon Mrs. Hamilton had recovered her senees again and was pronounced to be vastly improved. Her first mumbled words were as a deathknell to Mary's heart "You— promised," she said thickly. "Yes, yes; I have not forgotten," Mary said hurriedly. "Don't think ot that, dear; only get well and I will do anything you like." The sick woman gave a murmur of satisfaction and clt d her eyes again. Mary turned away anti went to the window, where she stood looking ont trying to keep t erself nrider control. Her face was white and set, her hands shaking and cold. So her mother bad not fergotten; the sacrifice would have to be made and bhe must at no distant time sell herself into a slavery which would be a living horror. And this was the end of all ber toil, of all her am- isitions, of all her brilliant hopes and vivid dreamings I Small wonder that ber heart seemed as if it had turned to water within her; that her soul seemed numb and dead, as if she had lost herself In it deep and treacherous moraes from which she could never be extricated, try and struggle as she would. need not dwell upon this part of Mary Hamilton's story. The hot and anety summer days dragged drearily by, each onebriiming the inevitable nearer and nearer. Mrs. Hamilton slowly im- proved in health. Mary -went to and fro to her work, the white capped nurse re- mained in attendance, aid Captain Conway hovered around the little house- hold like a gobd and an angel with a red, weather beaten face and with a very large circumference. The end came ail too soon. He spoke to her one evening, told her his hopes and fears—a great many hopes it must be owned and a very few fears it must be confessed. And Mary told him hon- estly that she had never thought of Mtn before her mother's illness as a possible husband, told hint she bad never thought of marrying him or any one else, thank- ed him, with tears in her gray eyes, for his goodness to her mother and promis- ed that if he would not expect too much of her she would do her best to be a good and faithful wife to him. Captain Conway's answer was char- acteristic of the man. He told her with all the asenrance and confidence of an Adonis 20 years his junior that he was perfectly satisfied with her prom - lees; that he wonld teach her to love him when once she was really his own. Mary shuddered, but allowed the re- mark to pass in silence, and, if the whole truth be told, let an inward prayer escape her heart that some thun- derbolt might fall and strike her before that terrible day dawned. Such prayers, .however, are mostly futile. Mary's wedding day dewned all too soon, and the warning, "Be not afraid with any amazement," rang out over the heads of an aelien pale bride, who had steadfastly and resolutely re- fused to allow herself to be decked in bridal attire; a rather nervouss.nd rubi- cund bridegroom, who dropped the ring and mumbled his vows defiantly after the officiating minister; a mahogany faced groomsman and a frail, elderly lady in a mauve silk who leaned. upon the arm of a tall young woman in nurse's -uniform. _ So the sacrifice was completedl To Mary Hamiltom-Mary amwey by then, it passed like a- hideous dream, only there was no awakening. "My darling childi" cried her moth- er enthusiastically. "I am so happy! My dear child!" "I am glad, mother," Mary whisper- ed back and wondered the while if God would ever forgive ber-for the false vows she had plighted, e outrage she had done to herself, for being the living lie that she was. And then began a life which Was an hourly, daily thrtnre and martyrdom. The husband was quick to Bee that he bad made the gravest of all mistakes, that he had bought the casket, but could not possess himself of the jewel within, to realize that his wife was his, but that her heart was miles and miles away and would never be his, even though he were to live for a thou- sand years.
