Sally Donnelly had led society to regard her as a person without hea >» and no one thought her serious in engaging her- self to John Patterson. However, they were soon married, and moved into a brick house at the foot of Main street. From his porch, John could see the packets come on the canal and trains go out on the rail- road. In his residence, called by the people of Harburg “the big brick,” Sally entertained lavishly. Her receptions were the grandest Harburg had ever seen, and she was courted by everybody. Her extrava- gance was freely ?commented upon, but her resources were supposed to be great, for John Patterson was supposed to be rich. Some happy years passed, and then came a cloud upon John Pat- terson’s brow. His house was big, his wife beautiful, and he was seem- ingly successful in his business, but the voices that sounded in his dwell ing were alien. He wished that children of his, born in his house, shouted in its halls, frolicked in its parlors and gladdened the feasts in its dining rooms. It would have made him laugh to see a child of his break a piece of the china that all the housewives in Harburg coveted. But his wish was not gratified, and the cloud on his brow grew blacker. And in the shadow on his brow came a wrinkle, but his wife heeded } neither wrinkle nor cloud. She was engrossed with the preparations for a reception that was to be magnifi- cent. At night she lay awake de-j signing her toilet, which she meant should be a marvel. She asked her husband to draw a curve of the dra- pery of the skirt of her dress, and he obligingly made one of sharp de- Ho Lewis & Potter Bros, BRICK LIVERY STABLE.

It was not, if considered a proph- ecy, for there is a swiftness in law- precess that is startling—like the “presto” of a magician, it works its changes suddenly. A week or more after her recep- tion, Mrs. Patterson was “returning” some calls. She learned that her reception had been a great success; it had taught Harburg society the value of flowers in house decoration. As for her toilet it was pronounced a miracle. From listening to such flattery, Mrs. Patterson returned to sparkling eyes. She alighted from her carriage nimbly as a bird, and, looking at the steps, ran up them like a young girl. ed the door knob, she noticed ahand bill tacked on the panel.

She. ignorant of of all this, wrote a full account of the sale to her husband. other things, she said: “I know just who bought every- thing, and I asked them not to in- jure them, so we could have them all back when you returned and settled the debt.” Soon the sheriff came again, sold the house, setting her scanty furni- ture out in the streets. Her father and mother were dead, she had no oneto whom to appeal for aid. Going toa hotel she asked for shelter till John returned, but was refused, her by-gone friends said: “She is crazy. It would not be safe to house her.” When night fell, a man, who was reputed brutal and coarse, cursed the people of Harburg for their in- humanity. Alone he carried Sally's furniture to a little house located on some lots of his. “Stay here, Mrs. Patterson, till your husband returns,” he said, when he had put her things to rights. She thanked him, and as years passed he never called for the rent, and she waited for John’s return. Her face grew darker, a crook came in her back, yet her heart was held up with hope, and her teeth shone more brightly and her eyeslost none of their brilliance. Her faith in John’s promises, and her treasuring the note. led people to say she was crazy. Inno other way did she manifest it. She wandered about chattering to herself, no one annoy- ed her, and the community pitied and provided for her, even allowed her to attend the church in which she had rented a pew. The coarse man who was her land- lord was offered a fair price for all his lots one day, but he refused to sell the one on which Sally lived. | “Sally believes I'll leave her there till her husband turns up and I don’t mean to drive her out.” “I hope you are not looking for John Patterson to return?” “I'm not, but his wife is, and she {can wait for him right where she is.” After a while McDonough sold Among _ heart, as Standing before him with | bony hand, on which glistened the| |diately acted upon it. j taken aback by her wish to have the | claimed. “I tempted you to swear.

Ill fix up the house as a landlord should.” “What woke your conscience?” she asked, skeptical of his honesty. “You did by rebukin’ me for swearin’ that day. My conscience has been hurtin’ me ever since, and I have quit swearin’!” “TI am so glad! John never swore.” Bill learned what repairs the house needed left, saying he would send the carpenters next day. Harburg was astonished when Sally appeared at church, as usual, in a new dress of the latest cut, hap- pily conscious that all eyes were upon her as she passed through the crowd of loungers at the door. She took pride in her new sur- roundings, keeping it in order. She stood before the glass many minutes every day searching for traces of her former beauty. Her hair was black, her eyes still brilliant, but her lips would curl and expose her teeth. Society praised Bill for rescuing the poor woman from insanity. He accepted the flattery and praise. When the time came when he could ask her to be his, he tremblingly put on his best suit and called on Mrs. Pattersov. In a few words he asked her to marry him. She looked at him in pity. “I could, Mr. McDonough, if I were not still young and looking for John to return. He has not been gone long, and will soon be back.” “Well, I can wait,” said Bill, and he went away heavy-hearted. That day he journeyed westward. got track of John Patterson and traced him to the end. It was a sad story, ending in suicide, and as Bill stood on the grave of the man for whom a hopeful woman was waiting patiently, he made a vow to care for her until she died, without ever speaking to her of John or again asking her to be his wife.
