"W
'BAT wonld we live on, Max?" laoghed Sydney VeruoD, glaoeing down at her elegaat morning 4raaa, with tha pretly ilipper jnit 'paapiDi from beaeath ill hem. "Il'a - ail TBIT wall to oio'aew the practioali- tiea of life, bnt they ire lomeif hat ¦tttttaiy tor all Ibat^ aud I have never aaaa any great evideoooi o( eoonomy •a /onr part, and 1 am quite lare you hare aol on mine."
Mat 'Deyard Ingged. impatiently at hit mniataohe as the girl, whom a moment belore he had aaked to be hit wile, thni auHwered him.
"I-have uever had an incentive to aooBomy," Mas iaid in auawer. "I kaya eaongh to livo ou aud feufl my kortae, though my ttilor'a bill doei troablejme uuw aud then, I oonieii; but. Sydney, I will chinga all tbat, dead. I ean't, perhapa, give yon all the Inuriea to which yoa are aoonstomed, bat yo« shan't lack (or comforti, that I promiae yon."
"We ihoald be miaerable—Max— uiierable, both you and II" the girl aniwered, bitterly. "We have uot either of ua boeu reared iu a aohool uf poverty. I would ory for cake while yon eould only give me bread, and yon (or alo while I coilId give you onlylltiet. Como, be leniible, and let at ba good (rieudi."
"FrieniliT Never I" he exolaimed. "I am ttarving, and you throw me a ¦lone. Look iuto my eyei, Sydney, ttraight and trne, and aay yoa do not lore me, and I will go ajray, and triHible yon no more."
Tbe long laahea drooped low on her ohaek.
"I oannot qnite lay lhat," ihe an- NWered, "bnt I will lay more, I promised last night lo become Mr. dayton'i wile wilhiu six monlha."
Max Bayard'a handsome (aoo grew white lo the very lips—a look of deadly anger, mingled with something liko loathing, orept into il. Sydney shrank (rom it, aa (rom a blow.
"Don't, Max—dou't!" ahe cried. "I Oofald uot help il—I am  very sorry."
"Yon eonlil nut help it—yun are very lorryl" he repealed very tlowly. "Oonid not help what? Toying wilb mo for yoar amuioment—playing faat aad looie with your victim, or lelling Tonnelfto the highest bidderT Whioh? loa are very sorry—(or whom? For tha iMin yon led itep by atep to the brink o( the dower-itrewn preoipioe, only to imile ee he plunged to the •kaam below, orfor him who wim the priae in the lottery—tbe prize for wkiek ho hat paid tha prioe of all hia lortaaef Perdon me. Mils Vernon, bat he, I thiuk, ii more deserving uf
Jour sorrow than -the man whom  yuu ari to the lowest deptbaof tbeabyis." Wilh theio wordi   he   tamed and left ber.
Six years bad pasted-six years, frangbt indeed with change.
"1( the had been bnt trne to herself and mel" Max Haynrd bad thought, whaa, bnt a (ew monthi after the aveat which had driven him from his Mtive land to find (orgetlnlness iu Iraval, a letter had beun pnt inlo his kaad, whieh had (ollowed him from port to port, announcing that ho had faltaa heir to a fortune which might hava ehallenged Mr. Clayton's in its mfffailada.
A year afterward he married. His wifa wai very yonng aud very lovely; bat there were deplhi in hii nature thai hbr hand uever atirrod, and eveu at the lay with her head pillowed on hu breail auother banutea faee would eoma between, aud, 'mid tho careas- Ing mnrmnr of her words, would toaad the eoho of her "miidht bave beaa."
Bat he loved her very dearly, and monrned hor very truly, when, oue tkort year after their marriage, ho laid ber away in her grave and took BD tke hnrdeu of life again, wilh the added reepouaibility ol Ihe tiny iufaul daOfhter the had left him.
"Wanted—A ladr to superinieud tba adneaiion of a little girl. Apply betweea tbe honrs o( 4 and 0 at "
ttwaain auawer to Ihia adTertiae- maat that, tix yean after that memor¬ able altevnooa upon lhe baaoh, a lady ttood waiting iu the elegant drawing- room c( tbe housu to which ahe ha.l been dhreeted.
Her veil waa iluwu and tbe room waa baU iu shadow from the heavy enrtaina which draped the window, bat (or all that she alerted perceptive¬ ly wbea a itep crossed the ball au,l a geatlemau, his hair slightly tinged witb gray, entered.
"Bat itiy," IS ahe rose to go. "Tell me how it happens that you are in neeesiity.    Is Mr. CUytou dead?"
She (huddered.
"Yon mistake," she said. "I did not marry Mr. Claylou. I am Sydney 'Vernon itill."
"You did not marry him?"
"No. It is a woman's privilege, you know, to ohange her luind. But my annt was very angry, aud al her death sbe left mo noihing. Your ad-  erlisemeut attracted me. I thought I migbl learn to love a lillle girl."
"Sydney, why did you not marry Mr. Clayton?"
Had he really spoken, or was it her own thought which formed the ques¬ tion? No, he WIS awake now, his eyes resting npon her.
"Yon have no right to ask me," aha said, imperionsly. "Lel the dcad past bnry ila dead."
"Wo right, perhapa—that I admit, bat anew r me, all the aame. For the Jake of all these starving years, let me know tbe truth."
"Beeause I did not love him," she antwered, then—"becanse I found myself weaker than Iknew."
"O, Sydneyl if wo had known—il we had known! My lUrllng, ivas there another reason? Was il because yon loved me?"
"Becanso I shall love you while life lasts,"
A montu later there wai a quiet wedding.

The United Stales Consnl al Bahia believes that a goo.l market exists lor North American shoeb in Brazil, Al presenl all imported shoes there oome from Europe. All styles common in the United Slates are seen in Brazil, bat there is a marked preference for the long-pt)intod loe.
Stimulated by the success of .Vmeri¬ ean looomolives on Ihe Bavarian rail¬ roads the I'russiau State liailway authorities have ordered a careful in¬ vestigation of tho fitness of American models for service if. Prussia. II seems probable, however, that only the Ameriean ideas will be adopled. The actual manufaclnro will be cou- dooted iu Germany.
