X. \ They had been friends for a long time, Joe Mayers and Lawrie Earle. | Jo being anabbreviation of Joseph- ine and Lawrie short for Lawrence, it j gave one an uncomfortable feeling of things being strangely mixed to talk about these two young people, but they clung to each other with earnest faith, and were true friends through all. Lawrence Earle was an only son of a proud and wealthy old sire, whose highest ambition as regarded his son was that he should keep his place in the world untarnished, his own large property undiminished. Even these requirements, simple, reasonable as it seemed, demanded a good educa- tion, good habits and thoroughly good principles, and all these young Earle possessed. Josephine Mayers was the oldest of tive girls, an orphan, and poor. Witha do her duty by the children, she had art, and she possessed sufficient resolute determination to also a passionate love for fortunately executive ability to make her art re- munerative. She taught a largeclass in drawing and worked eagerly through every leisure hour, making It was in this way Earle first found her. Attracted at first by some odd lit- pictures to sell. that Lawrence tle picture in a shop window, he - left an order for another, making some dilettante criticism for which he must lf. Seeing her, he was thoroughly and see the artist he! honestly surprised. e was such a frank, true-hearted, ynable little woman, with clear v merry laugh and a pleas- ant voice. “Tshould think you would have been married long before this,” he said to her one day, as he sat oppo- site her in the studio, and watched her at her work. “What a horrible misuse of gram- mar for college graduate!” laughing lightly. “But, really,” he said, ignoring her thought of it a hundred times, that it is very strange that you are not married.” “Well, to tell the truth,” began Jo. “Tdid used to think of that. You see, there was such a lot of us girls at home. I knewthere ought to be some marrying done, if only to make more room in the house for the rest, and I was, I believe, quite wil ling to be made the first sacrifice; but after the trouble came,” here her eyes grew gentle and luminous, and seem- ed to be looking far away, “then I knew I had the girls to take care of, and solgave up all thoughts of a separate home.” “But suppose you were to marry a rich man, one who would take care of you and the girls? Would not that be pleasanter for you and safer for them?” “Rich men are not lying around as plenty as leaves in autumn, begging for the privilege of taking care of a family of girls. Besides, 1 would not impose my sisters as a burden upon any one, and I do not wish tomarry. I love my work; I am doing my duty. Is not that enough? There are plenty of women to do the marrying in the world who have nothing else to do, but I cannot stop for it.” This conversation was repeated many times, in a slightly varied form until it became well understood be- tween them that their two lives ran in widely different lines, convention- ally speaking, and were not likely to be ever any nearer to each other. Meanwhile Lawrence Earle’s father and friends had learned, with dismay, of his growing intimacy with some unknown artist away downin tenth street. He had even taken a studio there, and was working early and late at hiseasal. It was very absurd, they all decided, and something must be done to break up such a foolish infat- uation. Some attractive political position was offered him, which he informed them his conscience would not permit him to accept; a trip to Europe was proposed, but he never liked travel- ing; and as a last resort his duty to his father and his filial affection were appealed to, to convince him that he ought to marry some lady of wealth and culture whose position in society was equal to his own, and thus start fairly and honorably in life before those loving eyes were closed forever, or that faithful heart had ceased to beat! Badgered, and tormented, and ir- resolute, he gave upat last. He knew the lady in question had been quietly waiting ever since he was a boy for this event to take place; it would set- she said, criticism, “Il have tle the matter at last and rid him of all further responsibility in the line of marrying, and then he could give his life to art. He reasoned in this way to himself as he told his father that he had made up his mind to propose for Miss Everett’s hand in marriage | The father seemed a little bit sur- } prised and quite pleased; wished him 1 sucece parted.

He did not go home then§ but ¢limbed upon the roof and looked down through the skylight, go on with gesture she wondering if she would her work as though nothing had hap- pened. There she was moving upand down the room with slow staggering steps: her eyes streaming with tears; her hands locked nervously; her frame shaken by cruel sobs as she murmur- ed: “Oh, Iam such a fool for caring —anything—about it!” In an instant he had slid back down the rickety ladder, and was knocking at her door. “Who is there?” she asked. but he pretended not to hear, and kept on knocking until she opened the door, and then he walked in before she had time to close it again. “Tam tired and my head aches. I shall not work any more: please leave me,” she said,in a pleading tone. But he had taken her in his arms, and was murmuring words of love and hope more to himself than to her. She drew herself away in anger and surprise, as soon as she could, and said: “How dare you treat meso? You know very well that I never shall marry; andif youcame to me to- morrow, free, with a hundred thou- sand dollars in each hand, and offer- ed me your name, and yourhomeand half your fortune.
