By CLY~DE WAY~NE. -0 CHAPTER III. [Conclusion.] And how long the journey seemed to him! At last lie land ed in the great city, and securing a carriage, he was soon driven to his uncle's bome and after a few hasty greetings from aunts and cousins he was shown to his rootn. And hardly waiting the servant's departure he oiened the little packet he had carried next his heart. His hands trembled slightly as he untied the ribbon, and be start ed in surprife as he noted the con tents. There before hiru was the fairest face itn the whole world to him. Eleane's sweet blue eyes looked saucily out at him and the ruby lips were parted in a smile as though at his pleasant sur prise. He gave the picture one pas sionate kiss and turned to pick up the little cord that had fallen. It was a piece of Eleane's own worki and he turned it curiously around as he read the one word. An ivy vine encircling it and that word 'Waiting.' He gazed long and earnestly at the precious memento, and then placed it in the Bible his mother ad given him; and he never opened the book to read tbat4he loved gift did not greet him. At his uncle's fireside or in his counting-room Je4rold's jovial laugh was seldom heard. A settled sternness seemed to have taken their place, and his uncle often bantered him on his gloom. And thus the long monthbs passed, and in a few days he will become a partner in the flourishing irm of 'Southern & Antwer-p.' Only through his mother and sister bas~ he heard of Mrs. Mel ville's family. And he was some what surprised as the Postman anded him a letter and be recog nized Harold's baud-writing. He read the letter hastily, and the last few lines were re-read again and again. 'Wel, Jerold, James Preston is to.be married. I knew, when I brought' him here, that he would ind some pretty girl to share his fortune. But of course you have heard all the particulars arnd will come to the wedding. Mother. Minnie and Eleane wish to be kindly remembered.' With a strange chill he threw the letter' in tbe grate and watched it till the last spark died out. Arnd was it for this Harold had writtetn ! To give needless patin, ad open afresh the heart wound! 'A b Eleane ! Ha-ve you remem bered the promise a little girl made to the boy at her side ?' Alas! your woman's heart has been stolen froum him. How long the heavy hours drag on as he toils over the tir-esome books. He knows that the way to fortune is open to him now, but he looses all pleasura in the an ticipation. Ho ha fared this all along, but now it is a certainty and the last faint ray of hope hs disappeared. si He takes the tiny picture from n his pocket and gazes long and b tenderly into the sweet blue ti eyes. So true and clear-in their ti glance that he kisses it over and el aver again and then places it reso- tl lately back in the case, and % snatches up pen and paper rapid-' ti ly, as though afraid he migbt fal- cE ter. Then be wrote rapidly these ai lines: h 'ELEANE : Harold has just writ- tI ten me of your engagement and early marriage. He also ex- n presses a wish that I should be t present or. thc occasion. But I fc cannot come, you perhaps know T why. I have just looked at your hr picture and the eyes looked so b true that I can hardly realize that E you are to be another's. May h you be happy, Eleanc. And good- c bye, perhaps forever.' S JEROLD. w This little missive was destined al never to reach her. Jerold laid it E on the desk after having sealed w and addressed it, and when be CE went home for dinner little Fred- tv dy saw it lying there and think- ti ing to have a nice play thing, cut it ti into many parts, and was busily en- g gaged counting them when Jerold it returned. At a glance he isaw the d< mischief. but he did not speak. le There seemed a sort of providen- fc tial interference in it. And he b had hardly seated himself when the Postman handed him a letter tl from his mother. h Surprise, and then a glad light, tf broke over him as he read. It w was Edith and not Eleane, who I was to be married, and James w Preston had not robbed him after all ! t< The joy was so sudden and is great that his uncle observed it tl at once. 'Eh! Jerold my boy, good news from home?' he said-slapping him a on the shoulder. b 'Yes uncle, very. Edith is to ci be married in the Spring, and this Li letter announces the fact.' E 'And so you are delighted at I the prospect of loosing your it sister! Tut, tut, boy.' v 'INo. uncle. But a friend wrote h me that James Preston was to be 'a married and I did not know it was to Edith and -' a 'You have made a mistake. Ha! n a! I'll warrant you thought be I had stolen your lady love. Now don't blush so. 1 can understand l( your joy on discovering the mis- h taken idea,' and the old man b chuckled at Jerold's very evi dent confusion.'n How he longed for the time to come whben he could seethe sweet face that he felt was indeed u 'Waiting' for him. He under- b stood now the meaning of that s, little word. And he answered b Harold's letter with so much of p the old time gayety of tone that d Eleane wondered at the sudden y cange and a bitter tbought arose 6 in her mind. He had found new b ties and tbe old friendships were v forgotten. She held no place in t is heart now, and she repented o ever giving him the little memen- b to. She fancied she was often spoken of as 'Jerry's little School mate' and her picture would be pased around the group as it was; criticised. And she could hear e Jerold's mierry laugh as he joined , in. But, meanwhile, the antici pated and eventful day was draw ing near, and as she and Minnie were to det as bridemaids theyr were quite busy. Edithb had come over and during the conversation she laughed beartily as she re marked. '0! Eleane I have a joke on you. Jerry thought it was you who were to marry James Pres ton, and uncle says he never saw such a sudden change trom de spair to joy as mother's Ietter- pro duced when he discovered his mistake. He says Jerry is all lite t and smiles now., Eleane did not reply, but she was happy. This, then, explained the cheerfulness of the letter, and now she could meet him as of old. Jesse came home in a few days, and one evening he and Edith rode over to Mrs. Melvilles. As they drove up and noticed theI Doctor's buggy at the gate Editb 'Oh! I am afraid Elean, is ck.' And she was right. Kin ie met her at the door and told er Eleane was quite ill. Going to ie bedside she was shocked at ie change she saw. The fair ieeks were flushed and burning, ie sufferer tossed uneasily about, hile an occasional moan escaped ie tightly shut lips. On per .iving Edith she burst into tears, id as the former knelt beside 7r she placed one hot band on iat of her friend saying: 'Oh I Edith I am afraid I will aver see your happiness. Here, .ke this. and return it to Jerold r me. I have worn it always. ell him Edith,' and she banded r the tidy locket. And sank tek and closed her eyes while dith smoothed back the silken tir from her hot brow. Her tse was explained in afew words. e and Minnie had gone into the oods to gather ferns and in tempting to cross a stream leane bad fallen in and, the cather being cold, she had re ived a violent pneumonial at ek. All through the long night i anxious watchers never left e sick bed, and when the dim, 'ay light of morning came steal g through the half closed win >ws, the old family Physician ft the bedside and the mother flowed waiting yet dreading to Mar. 'My friend, Eleane is ill. But I ink there is some trouble on ar mind. If you could ascer 6in the cause and remove it she ould, perhaps, rally very quick .' Edith heard him and she ent immediately to Minnie. 'Minnie,' she said, through her ars, 'Dr. Lawrence thinks Eleane troubled in mind. Do you 'ink it is Jerry ?' 'Yes Edith, I do.' 'Then he shall come,' she said 3 she left the room. Jerold was asily engaged in drawing up ac >unts when, for the third time me that week, a letter was left. [e glanced at it and recognizing dith's writing he carelessly laid aside till he should finish wbich as some half hour later. When e opened it his face grew marble bite as he read the short note. 'JEROLD: Come home immedi ely. Eleane is ill. She does ot know I have sent for you. ose no time.' EDITH. 'Oh God! And 1 have already >st time ! What if I should be too te.' Without a moments delay, e hurried to his uncle. 'Uncle' he said, 'Ejeane is ill. I inst go to her at once.' 'Go my boy, of course.' How slowly they seemed to be ioving! He 'could not sit quiet, ut was continually changing bis at, and noting the distance he ad come, as they whirl past de ots. He had telegraphed imme iately 'I am coming' and Edith ras watching anxiously for him. e went to Eleane and taking r fevered hands in her own she bispered, 'Eleane would you like )see Jerold ?' Such a happy ray f light broke over the sick face eside her ! 'Yes Edith, But-' 'Never mind, dear, doni't talk ow,' was theyanswer. And go g out on the piazza she glanced agerly up the long avenue. Pre ntly the rumble of carriage heels was heard and scarcely 'aiting to check the horses Jerold prang to the ground. He said o word, but the anxiety depicted n his face, demanded an imme iate answer. 'She is somewhat better. But e careful, Jerry. She is very reak,' were the first words Editb poke as she left him and ran 'ack to tell it to Eleane. 'Eleane, Jerry is coming. Is iere now. Will you see him ?' A flush passed over the fair ufferer. and she put up her hand o assure herself that she was wake. Jerold stood in the toorway, as Edith ceased speak ng and be came quickly for ward. 'Eleane!' he said taking both f her hands, 'My darling, do I ome to find you thus'? But you annot leave mue now. Oh in oved one!i speak to me' a' trong man wept in the f h is . 'Jerold you have come at last.' A joyous smile parted the parched lips, and Edith slipped softly out of the room leaving the two alone. Anxiously they watched the restless tossing, sufferer, and the face of the good old Physician )s be sat counting the quick beat ing of the fevered pulse. At last he arose, and motioning to Jerold the two left the room. 'My boy you have saved her,' as all the old man could say. And be had. When the sunlight was falling n mellow ripples on the golden bead as it lay on the white pil ows, Elcane suddenly opened her eyes and turning to her mo ,hcr she said : 'Oh mama. I am so happy. Where is Minnie ?' 'Here Eleane. We feel so thank ul to have you feeling so mueb setter. Do you wish anything ?' 'No. Has Jerold gone ?' 'Gone my darling! Why Eleane lo you think I will leave you to ,he tender mercies of Minnie and Edith again ? 'he asked with one )f his old smiles.' Her recovery x as slow ; but happiness, the greatest healer, was at work, and lhe and Jerold stood first waiters br Edith in the-glad Spring time. nd then Jerold wrote to his iele. 'I am i .ing soon and will bring my bride. You must really )xcuse my long silence, uncle. Eleane has quite monopolized my time here.' And her 'Waiting' was over. ~istJJmE#iRs. STOLBRAND VS.

THE NEW YORK HOUSE. One of those travelers for a new fresi2 dry goods house recently arrived in a town in Massachu. setts, to find that one of his best customers was about to transfei his custom to a Boston house. 'Didn't we always do well by you ?' asked the e w Y orker, a~ he sat down for an explanation 'Yes, I believe so.' 'D'dn't we ship goods prompt Ly ?' 'Yes,' 'And did we over press you in a pinch ! 'No.' 'Did you get lower p)rices of the Boston house ?' 'No, I can't say as I did.' 'Then I can't understanid why you should leave our house all o: a sudden after buying of us severa years.' 'I know that some explanatiot is due, and I will make one,' re plied the merchant. 'You knoiw that I attend church ?' 'Yes, and so do 1.' 'Do you ? I didn't know that I am looked upon as a Christian. 'So am 1. I've got the date o my baptism right here in my not4 book.' 'Is that so ? Well, our church i: in need of repairs. We wer4 talking it over the other day when the Boston drummer was ir here, and he at onco subscribet ten dollars.' 'Ten dollars! Why that's onl2 two kegs of nails ! Put me dowr for thirty dollars cash, a new sill at for every season, ard a ful suit of clothes for t.he minister.' 'Do you really mean it?' 'Of course I do, and if that two cent Christian from Boston dare: sign another fivi,, I'll send yoi down a $600 church organ an< pay a man $500 per year to la2 it. We are a h"use which neve: makes any great display of goTpe hymns, but when a Boston dr'u mer bluffs, we show sur reigion hand rake in the pot e:0ry time.
