' prond of his handsome face, proud of his talents ?and she considered he' was about to degrade himself socially' if not morally, by the stand ho had j announced himself to have taken, j Seeing her passionate outcry had not moved him, she said, pleadingly: "Have you no pride left? You who | had all the old Thurston pride once?" j l have just so much pnae ieit. j Amabel," he answered, "that I cannot ! Bit here eating the bread of idleness another day." "Yon know you are more than welcome here." "I do know it. I appreciate youi husband's kindness at its full value,! 'Amabel. I hope the day will come | when I can prove it.

( j ?rThen I must lo<?e the honor pf her friendship," Raymond said, hflriwabfr.! 3 "'Dd^n't say any naorc, Amabel?^ ' | AnH unable to bear any further ro^ monstrance, he left the room, and a' I little latter the house. | The ThVston pride of which Ama^ bel had spmfc^n was stinging him sorely, in spite or\the brave face he car! tied to cover is.

Investments that ; had seemed to the young man, ignor-' : ant in all business details, as secure as < i they were flattering, had fallen to ruin, " and a few hundred dollars only were j left of what had been a noble for- i tune. 11 At first Raymond did not realize the ! extent of his misfortune. He was still : young, and well educated, in perfect health, and certainly the world had ' ' some niche where he could earn an honest living. But weeks of seeking ! employment gave him a keener knowl-1 of his misfortune.

They had not thought of love ; B in the days when the girl was a debut- f gen ante in society and Raymond, one of j staj its favorite beaux; but when they met infc after the long parting, some new cmo- aca tion stirred both hearts. They did tab not know what made the hours pass of 1" so quickly when they were together, nes nor recognize the subtle charm that to dwelt for each in the other's presence, epj for many a week. hiir Raymond was the first to awaken Ii to the knowledge that love was the Hai charm that bound him to Bertha's the side whenever she was present; that tolc it was lovo that made her eyes, the mo: dark, sparkling eyes, so beautiful in he1 their expression; that love tuned her ing voice so musically, that love made her ove the dearest of all women in his eyes. mis Amabel was delighted.

But a mo hint to that effect met one of Ray- oft biond's sternest frowns, such as had j, never visited his face in the old sun- W0l 'shiny days. . fre( "Never speak o5 it again; Amabel," ag he said. "I am no fortune hunter pro to live upon the money of a ricli j^g wife. I'll carve out my own way jn first." sea But carving his own way proved fr01 tedions work till, desperate at his hjn many failures, he accepted a position, fa offered in jest, of driver to an express jajc wagon. * ' of o "I do understand horses," he said, tegi "if I cannot sell goods or keep books." _ gto] It proved harder work, however, wer than in the first flush of his despera- con tion he had imagined.

At week passed, when one morning, s^( delivering some goods at one of the mjfost fashionable stores on Broadway, c? he went out, Raymond saw Bertha Haines opening the door of her low carriage. An impulse made him start forward to hand her out, only to draw ^ back crimson with confusion, and WG dropping the hand he was lifting to .. raise his hat. The sweet, musical voice . he loved, spoke at once: I "Please, Mr. Thurston; help mo ^ with this obstinate door. It will 5'^ stick." mc He went forward, then, with all the k*s n . i . i * nai easy grace or manner mat naci ever marked his intercourse with ladies.
