THE A ES DAUGH- “Will yorask Mrs. to me?” The attndant who had answered the bell departed with the order, led ing Mr. Beliingham in solitary pos sion of hisstmpiuously-appointed office.

The elder lellingham was in his the younger was in his office, aw ‘ the appearance of his forewoman, Mrs. Graham. At 1s one of the intirmities of our lan- guage thatwe are frequently uni express 2 comparison without a some misepprehension thereto, as in the present Dstance. Auzustus Belling- ham was not young. He had existed during tw score years, and it must be admitted that he showed his age. iill, hewas a remarkably handsome man, wellproportioned, and in the true sense of the word a gentleman. He nad seen nothing of the seamy side of life; he had bem tinely educated, and had glided witiout friction into the seat of & prosperais business made vacant by the demiseof his respected father. Upon the particular morning he kad summonedMrs. Graham upon a matter which hadforced itself upon his notice in her depatment, and which, though he could net escape, he heartily dread- ed to broad. Therefor, the appearance of a slen- der sickly woman, neatly attired in black, wasthe signal for him to rise from his luxurious chair in some per- turbation. Will yon be seated, Mrs. Graham?” were his tist words, as he pointed to a ehair. it Mr. Bellingham was_ perturbed, poor Mrs, Graham was still more so. Such courtesy from her august employer territied hea, and in speeciless amaze- ment she sank upon the edge of the seat indicated. Mr. Bellingham posed gracefully up- on the cdge of his vesk. “Mrs. Graham,” he began again, “you look unwell.” “On, sir-uo you think so, sir “Yes; aud you are unwell, are you itaham to come “L lave not been quite strong for some time past.”” “As 1 thought. You—er—you have missed several days during the past month?” « pallid face flushed consciously. ir, L have,” she faltered, clasp- ing her thi hanas; “but 1 have spoken to the bookkeeper about it, and asked him to deduct the time from my wages.” It was now Mr. Bellingham’s turn to flush. “It is notn question of money, Mrs. Graham,” he said with some constraint, “you have served so long and faithfully; that we shotld not begrudge you time iost throu zit illness, but we must posi- tively huve someone in your place every day.” ; “Oh,‘I shall bo there every day in future, sir.” cried Mrs. Graham, the ready tears starting to her eyes. *-But you look as though you needed Fest and care.” “I think sot.” “Pardon me if Idiffer with you; I think you do. You are far from well, Mrs. Graham, and L see it.’ Piacing one hand upon the arm of the ehnir, she rose with some difficulty and faced her employer, a look of pit- eous appen! in her deep grey eyes. “Am [ to understand that you wish to dismiss me from your employ, sir?” “For your own sake 1 think it would be betier were 110 employ a stronger person to replace you.” : The words struck home to the anxious heart like ashaft. She staggered for an instant blindly, but recovered her- self as quickly. “Very well. Mr. Bellingham,” she re- joined fainuly; “if such is your will 1 have nothing to say, but God help me! She turned towards the dvor to retire, when Augustus Bellingham took a for- ward step. “Mrs. Graham!” “Sir?” I “Do not misunderstand me. Remain for the rest of this month; ifat its ex- said. “Lam glad of the pay thai L work for, but Ido nottnink ‘thar my Services to you and your father woud Warrant my xecepting your charity. i shail remain during twe month, and shall hope to prove to you that Lam not as ul as you are Kind enough to think.” eDast me! but that woman comes of good stock,”” thought Mr. Bellingham. as le took his hataud cane and went out to his coupe. “To the school of art, Parsons, as quickly as possible,” he said to the coachman, and, springing into the ear- riage, he svon lust signt of poor Mrs. Graham and her infirmities in the de- ligntful anticipations of the rendezvous that awaited him. Augustus was a bachelor, and it was oniy within six months that his mature heart had been touched by any sensy tion akin to genuine Jove. He had ai ways been suscepuble, but not uatil he met Miss Giadys Thorne at the art- rooms one gloomy autumn afterncon had he ever dreamed of exchanging his luxurious celib: for tue married state. | ‘The fact was that he had found pret- | ty Giadys taking lessons of one of the ladies whom he reguitrly employed to | ate china to order.” An introdue- tion bad followed and almost datiy meetings. Finaliy it became the understood thing that Mr. Bellingham should call atthe art-rooms every afternoon and drive Miss ‘Thorne to town to take her | train for her suburban home. ‘Lhe interview with Mes. Graham had j delayed the lover upon that particuiar | day, and as a consequence, as he near- 1 of his heart's desire, he des- eried the dainty figure upon the curb, looking anxiously up and down the street, ostensibly for a ¢: *Oa, Mr. Bellingham!’ in’ sweet sur- Oi, Miss Thorne—Gladys!

Exquisite!” cried Mr. Bellingham with genuine enthusiasm. “You don't mean to tell me you did it?” 1 by myself.” “Well, you're a dear sweet little won- der!” “Now, Mr. Bellingham!” “1 mean it.” ae clapped her hands in childish lee. ‘ “Then perhaps you'll soon let me paint for you?” she exclaimed. “Exclusively for me and as soon as you see fit.” She blushed hotly. “I mean for your house,’ she stam- mere. “And I mean for your husband,” he rejoined firmly. “Gladys, vou must know Llove you. When will you be my wife?” “When you have asked my mother’s permission.” “Then let me go with you this after- noon.” “No, mother is away; besides, you had better write to her.” It was a little chilling to be obliged to pour out his passion in ink, but Au- gustus did it and did it creditably. He used the most expensive paver he could purchase, and the most elegant rhetoric at his command. ‘Then he cousizned his burning missive tothe custody of the post and waited —three days. No reply. Gladys «did not reappear at the art-rooms, and he would have been desperate indeed did he not console himself with the thought that Mrs. Thorne might be still away from home. Un the morning of the fourth day he was in his office as usual, when he was aroused from areverie by a terrible crash of china in the outer store, Upon hastening thither to ingnire into the cause, he discovered that Mra. Graham had fainted at her post’ and gone down amid a quantity of rare Dresden. “Bring her into my office at once and send for a doctor,” he commanded. It was more than an hour before the woman regained her senses, and when she found herself alone with her employer she gave utterance to her wretchedness in pitiful fashion. “You are right, Mr. Bellingham,” she said, “1 must leave my piace. Iam too iil to attend to. business. But Heaven oniy knows how I am to live!” “{ have told you you nee have no anxiety on that score, Mrs. Graham; it shall be my pleasure to provide for you.” ~[ cannot think of it,” murmured the lady, “unless—unless you marry my daughter.” Was the woman mad? Augustus was ‘about to rush to the door and summon back the departing doctor. Upon second thoughts, he con- cluded that she was harmless and de- termined to temporise. ~But, my dear woman our daughter,” he began. : Was the man mad? She touched her bosom to assure herself that his letter was there. b You don’t know Gladys?” she cried. “Gladys Thorne?” Yes, and my daughter.” “But your name is Graham!” “[ nave been twice married.” What would the world say if it knew that the elegant Augustus Bellingham seize his forewoman in his arms and I don’t know { the bottom out of has ne | BY ACCIDENT.
