PRIDE AND POVERTY - .--Ki By AUGUSTA LASHED. br Americaa Presa Adeorta. lion.] ? fCOSTINUmf ^p?PTER sb? entered fte living noni the heard'her father say^to % guee* "So 70a th?akit would "be xmpoeaibleto trace ron? branch of tile fara?y to that of Sir Brne* Mildmay, who fought so well for tbe noose of Lancaster in the old wars rf ?e Roses? He is n^tioned, sir, in the ancient chronicles, and ms 'scutcheon haaftetagenet quarterings. Hiere are of his descendants still extant in Mr. M?dmay *s face waa terned aside, tal Judith could see t?mt?fcs 4i?ck was ftStjjpft'pg sSrghtry with suppressed laugh -Why, no, sir, no; I, never heard of Sr Bruce in my life, None of our M3d mays has been great or distinguished Sar anything in particular. My rather was a very poor man, a genuine Yankee wita * knack aft inventions, and tike Int eu toca in general he was always hard np. Re kept tavern, taught school, teve n stage and speculated .in land, and between whiles contrived a number of useful things that have since made tbe- fortune of other men, but nothing ever socceeded with him. I had to work say way through school ami college as 1 could : borrowed the money to fit myself for my profession-that of a civil en sanest- aud paid it by dar's wages ramed in a shop or at farm labor, i did UUjilifna, that would keep me going. Happily I had inherited a little of my father's inventive knack, and was notas ettsOy gulled as he was, and when 1 went west and found an abandoned mine filled with water that nobody had been able to clean out I offered to do it for a half share in the enterprise. 1 rigged np machinery that freed the workings in less than a month, and the profit turned ont tobe pretty large.** As Mr. Mi?dway proceeded with his account 0? himself old Ben wicks gaze had become ?ced and stony. He bad ; frecen again, into his stiff, formal polite? ness. The old hidalgo look had come back to bis high, bony features and cold, faded brae eyes. Mf see what yon have been striving ter* said the old man, wearily waving bis hand. "Success, success, th&god of our nation; the avid love of gain; souls trafficked for gold. Yes, sir, I know the whole story, from A to Zed." The tone waa rasping, icily edged. The young man turned crimson np to the very roots of bis bair, and instinc tivel y turned to? ward Judith, where sue had paused hi laying thg_ table with the poor remnants j of the old Ben wick china. She had caught her father's trenchant tone with s reeling of inward dismay. She hoped ber father weil* not bolly the young aitaaget. patronize and condescend to him he was sure to do, but abe knew he waa capable of the violent outbreaks of testy o?d age. A sympathetic glance seemed to pass from her eyes te M?d mey's, reassuring bim, and presently she heard bim say in a clear, emphatic, hon? est voice: **I am no worshiper of money, Mr. Ben wick. There are things 1 would lay down millions to gain if ? had them to command. After father died ? bad myoid mother to care for, and, thank God, I bare been able to place ber k e good home and provide for her a happy old age. i had my young sisters to edu? cate and my brother to establish in life, and there were other poor relatives-a pair of aged aunts and an old decrepit uncle. I could not let them go to tbe almshouse. It wa? my first duty to take care of those dependent on me.** "Very commendable no doubt, very commendable,** said the old man from tbe surface of bis raise teeth and laying together bis chilly finger tips. But he bad gone into his shell and did not emerge again that day. Judith flitted out of the room after placing the glass of autumn leaves and . red berries in the middle of the table. She had folded under toe frayed edges of the tablecloth an ? placed a napkin over a hole too much in evidence. Mrs. Sparkler had now brought the basket of dinner, smoking hot, to the back door, and swiftly Judith conveyed it to the beard. Old Kenwick took the place at tiie bead of the table, waving Mildmay to asear at ms right band. Judith sat down behind the tray, but ate nothing. Soe . waited on the guest and on ber father with punctilious care. "Boiled beef,** said the old man loftily, at?ej?ng bis knife into the tender pulp on the platter before him. 'i told you, sir, it was pot luck, only pot lock to? day. In my father's time, sir, the cellar of this house was well stocked with wine-good, sound brands of port and Madeira-but 1 was forced to give up the nae of wine from my gouty tendencies some years ago, and J hope, sir, you will pardon the omission.** Mildmay saw Judith flush a little as the old gentleman proceeded to draw the long bow. and he made haste to ac? onit himself in a suitable manner as be raised a cracked glass to his lips con? taining nothing more potent than water from tbe old Kenwick welL He looked about without seeming to notice any? thing. At the meager table service; the makeshifts of the frayed tablecloth, the old caster propped on three legs, the battered spoons, thin as shaved horn, and the ragged napkins-all told a piti? ful story to a man of quick perceptions, hat Judith sat opposite. He saw ber face framed in golden hair over Mrs. Sparkler's tin coffeepot, and the feast of a king wreathed with rainbows could not have been more beautiful in ms ??yes. Kenwick was cased in frigid civility as in a coat of mail. Secretly he re? gretted having asked Mildmay to din? ner, now that he bad discovered that he was a mere nobody, not worth wasting his notice upon. He pressed his thin lips, lifted his arched eyebrows and looked discontented and unhappy. But a current of sympathy had estab? lished itself between Judith's blue eyes and Mildmay *s hazel orbs. It seemed to Mildmay like fine crossing lines of light with electric vibrations. He un? derstood all the difficulties and humilia? tions of her life without an explanatory word. He never knew what he put into his mouth at that dinner, but strangely enough, even while Judith tripped around the table changing the old cracked plates and Kenwick remained sunk rn himself, a stream of merry talk seemed to flow between them. Mild? may waa to her girlish apprehension the most unassuming and natural of men, ? gad aber hid lived so 1003 with proton- i sion sod unreality that naturalness was of ali things delightful to her. I iWhen ?his meal-as miraculously pro vided as if brought by ravens or angels ?wa?finished,Mildmay, strangely enough, displayed no disposition to take himself ?way. Old Rea wick, as usual after din? ner, had betaken himself to his place by the fire in his great shabby easy chair and had lighted his long stemmed pipe, ita and the stranger sat in another the large room, where the low afternoon sun came in through the win? dow and touched his blond head and her golden one. She was sewing fast and deftly on a piece of needlework she had taken fronrthe Ladies* Aid society m ike hope of earning a few shillings for her pressing needs, Mfidmay sat and watched her for awhile, saying a word . dr two now and again in a low voice. When the old man's regular breathing ! same to his ear, interrupted occasion? ally by short, brusque snores, Mildmay leaned over toward Judith and said con fideatially : 4 4 lam afraid 1 have fallen ont of favoi with your father. He seems to be less cordial than at first," without raising her head gave reproachful little glance ont of ..ta* corner of her eye. **Way could you not pretend to be descended from Slr-Bruce Mildmay? Ton might have belonged to a remote branch, but still distinctly of that house, with the Plantagenet quarterings in yo? coa t of arms. ** *4By heavens, Miss Hen wick, if I had only known,'* exclaim ec1, Mihnay, *i would have sworn on the good book that Sir Bruce was my revered great ancestor; that 1 have his rusty coat of arms, his shield and b?ttleax at this moment hung np in the baronial hall,, and I would have forged j arda of parchment to prove my ??For an inventive man." said Judith, with a shy smile, "who had cleared an abandoned mine of water by improved machinery, you did appear to me singn ? iarly wanting.** "What can 1 do to win your fbrgive ! ness for my stupidity,** he asked, still garcing in laerjacc.^.-. .*1 don't ?cnow,* she answered, with a ! sug>ressed sigh, **it may prove a more serions matter to ns than you think. ? Father has old time notions deeply m I grained, and 1 fear he is growing some? what childish. If he thought you be? longed to an ancient race he would trust you, because be so firmly believes that noblesse oblige. He was not brought np with business habits and has been sadly taken in by speculators, .and- now if he thought you belonged to that class he weald refuse to sell the western land, and wo do so need the money. I can't . make him understand how poof we are. * - The last words were given in a thrilling whisper. Mildmay felt that this young girl had made a direct appeal to him for help In her trouble. He colored and looked embarrassed, and for a moment remained silent. Judith drew back ashamed and aston? ished at herself for having betrayed so much to a total stranger. She sat there covered with confusion, unable to speak or attempt an explanation, when a confused sound of feet was heard invad? ing the kitchen, and in a moment the door burst open, and Mrs. Sparkler ap? peared, followed by her husband with Sally in his arms, and Prue holding on to the tail of his coat. The children were tattered and torn, hands and faces quite black with dirt, and hair in a wild tangle, [TO BX CONTINUED.! For Over Fifty Years.
