;Sempe was a rids lawyer when he met
Don Carlos in but. He became interested,

tender. As he eat in the hotel one after-
noon at a wadding breakfast a messenger
brought a dispatch to him. He read it,
wetland out, put on his hat, and for Ave

friends. The dispatch was from Don

notes, saying;
"Deponit this money in the bank. It 1s

take Jean into one or two room in a
cross street, have her to do her, own
work, and live from hand to mouth
generally; but I won't do it."
"Then you want to begin in style, do
you?" I asked, disapprovingly.
"No; but nicely. Jean is not afraid
of work, and would gladly begin at
the lowest round with me; but she is
refined and cultivated, and I would be
unhappy to deny her enjoyments."
"She teaches music now, I believe,"
said I.
"Yes; but has a cozy, comfortable
home with her mother, Mrs Delmar
is a lovely woman, and has given Jean
most of her education. She has seen
better days, I am sure. They read to-
gether. play and study, and. I could
not take Jean from such a life and"
make a household drudge of her."
Max sighed disconsolately, and, as I
was deep in thought, we were silent
for some time. I was sorry for him.
My young life had been blasted by a
rich father stepping between me and
the girl I loved, who was poor; and
now here was my brother-in-law doing
the same thing with his son. . So deep-
:say—had
eep-

onelife lovebat I had had been alle my heart had
ever known, and to -night I can see her
blue eyes as they looked into mine
twenty-five years ago, and hear her
voice; but, pshaw, its Max's love you
want to hear, not mine.
"What would you like?" I asked,
abruptly.
"Like?" repeated Max, startled from
his reflections.
"Yes; what would enable you to
marry at once?"
"3 home for my wife; we could live
nicely on my salary if I had that, but
board bills would leave nothing."
I went into reflection again, and
lived over in my own mind the misery
poor Max was now in. Oh, how I
would have appreciated some help
when I had been there, and now it lay
in my power to extend that help to
another, worthy, and similarly situ-
ated.
"Max," said I, .suddenly, with an.un-
controllable shake in my voice—"my
dear boy, give me your hand. I know
• how you feel, and I intend to help you.
I had the same experience when I was
your age, and it has made my life the
lonely one that it is; some time I will
tell you all about it. Go right to your
little sweetheart and tell her to set the
day at once, and when you are married
-you will have a home to take her to."
"Uncle Ben," cried Max, starting to
his feet and wringing my hand pain-
fully, "I—I don't know what to say to
you."
"Don't say anything; I don't want
you to," said I, rather crustily, to hide
my feelings. "Take your hat and go;
I've got some business that I must at-
tend to at once."
Max was evidently as glad to go as I
was to have him. What queer notions
men have about holding their feelings.
I saw that his eyes were shining like
diamonds through a mist of tears as he
wrung my hand again,.and said in a
voice, trembling with several emotions:
"God bless you, Uncle Ben;" then he
rushed away, and I sat down to think
a little, and wipe away my own tears.
New York was a mean place for a
young couple to begin, and begin
small. Nothing but fats, and to raj'
notion a flat is no home. But in the
far end of Brooklyn was as sweet and
cosy a little house as any one, rich or
"poor could want. A sweet, sunny
little house, surrounded with trees
and flowers, and just the place for any
" little woman with a happy heart and
busy hands to make a bower -like
home of.
The owner wanted to sell, so • the
sooner I saw him the better; and, with
that decision, I jumped up, put on my
wrappings, and was soon trunding off
in an. uptown car—I don't like new-
fangled notions, and the elevaters
make me nervous.
It was a cold, blustery night, and I
had a long ride before me. So I settled
in my corner, and for a long while
noticed no one, and then a young girl
came in and sat down opposite me, and
I couldn't help but watch her. The
lamp -light fell squarely on her face,
and she could not see me looking at
her, so I did so unreservedly, and
thought I had never seen one sweeter
or more refined. She was cold and
would like to thank you, and I would
be pleased to have you." She threw
the door open as she spoke, and I was
just on the point of declining with
thanks, when the parlor door was
thrown open and without a glance at
me, Max rushed out!
"Jean, why are you so late? I was
terribly worried, and— Then he look-
ed
ti
beyond at me—"Heaven and earth!
—Uncle Ben!"
"Max Jessup!" I responded, with a
gasp; and then for one full minute the
air fairly quivered with exclamation
points, ,
"I don't understand—I didn't know
—" began Max, in utter bewilderment,
which could not be wondered at.
"You didn't expect me to get here as
soon as you, did you?" I managed to
say, with a laugh, as the facts in the
case slowly bean to dawn upon me.
"Well, Max, I'm as astonished as you
are. "And is this Miss Delmar?" I
added, turning to Jean, who advanced,
perfectly silent with astonishment.
"Yes, sir," she said, holding out her
hand with a charming smile; " and if
I correctly understand, it is Max's
uncle to whom I am so indebted.. ,I
am so delighted to find it so. Let us

Dr. R. V. Pierce: Dear Sir—I will say

died with the disease. My wife had a sis-

consumption. She used your "Golden

her many friends, she got well. My wife
has also had hemorrhages from the lungs,
and her sister insisted on her using the

to her..nsing it, and it cared her. She has
had no symptoms of consumption for the
past six years.

I followed her, still smiling at Mug's
bewildered face; and when she went
away to lay off her things I explained
the case to Max. -
"And you were out in, our behalf?"
he exclaimed, after having indulgedin
a vain rage atJean's encounter. "Oh,
Uncle Ben! you are good! You will be
rewarded some way.
"My reward will be in seeing you
spared the unhappiness I suffered, and
still suffer," I answered, much touch-
ed by his emotion and gratitude. "She
is a dear, sweet little girl, Max—a true,
lovely little woman. Make her your
'wife as soon as she is willing; and re-
member what I said this evening.
Max was about to answer when
Jean returned, smiling and sweet as a
flower, with pretty bows, as blue as
her eyes, fastened in her snug hair,
and the smiles rippling over her face
as she talked to us.
"Mamma is late, too," she said,
glancing at the clock. "We are neith-
er of us ladies of leisure," she added,
with a merry laugh to me. "Mamma
is a visiting governess, and I am a poor
music teacher. Don't you think Max
made a very singular choice?"
"A very happy one, I answered; but
at that moment the outside door open-
ed and Jean jumped up.
"This is mamma; excuse me a mo-
ment please."
I looked around the room while she
was one, and still further formed my
opinion of these two. It was small
and cosy, with odd bits of bric-a-brac, The cit-lt.t wt.lu,•nt•Uia tl l't•u); in the
