And yet they had seemed very desirable. Eversince she had comé into the family, and even before that time, Mrs. Eversley had been pinched in one way or another; so, after all, it was much ofa Plece. as she said.“ Ever since she had come into the family, too, they had been sighing to think Uncle Trevor had so much money, and the family had none. It was true Uncle Trevor had earned his money, and the family had never lifted a finger to earn a penny; but what odds should that make, they reasoned, where there is proper family feeling? It is trae that Uncle ror, early in youth, had gone out and asked fora place behind # counter, had not scorned to weigh find measure and tie up and fetch and carry, and had advanced from step to step, hard work and constant work, first with hand and then with head, until the present day; and it is equally true that the family had sat still in their dignity, gone without when they didn’t have enough, kept an eminently genteel front to the world, becoming poorer every day with the in- Teasing usesfor money, and longed for Uncle Trevor's money, to wich, It was und they wonld some day be heirs, but of which, a the present time, they receive ly 80 much as the dust of its coinage. Did Mrs. Eversley wish for Uncle Trevor's death? How could you ask such a thing? Where had MMe shown anything that should lead to such a@ supposition? That she wished for some of Uncle Trevor's money was quite another thing. They were poor; it was no Peace te be yor but they had always held their heads Up; and to be well born and well bred placed one on-an equality with all the money im the world. Cer- tainly Trevor could havea better education if there was any reciprocity in Uncle Trevor's mind; he could go to Germany and pursue his studies and make himself a name, fustead of dawdling in a counting-room over a set of books that he didn’t know how to Ee. Why didn’t he learn how to keep them? Well, what folly it would be to spend the best years of his life learning something he would have no use for! Uncle Trevor had given them Positively to un- derstand that when he wasdone with his money they were to have it, or the use of it. Probably the other Eversleys would come In for some- thing; but Trevor's name, of course, made his fortunegertain. It was just as much of course that no flagrant difference would be made be- tweeft him and Teresa and poor girls! Well, it could not be very long now, at all events, and one must have patience and shuffle the cards. Ifahe did not wish for her brother- in-law’s death, that was certainly all that could be expected of her; it she would not be sorry when tt occurred. that was his fault—he could have been generous and considerate enough to make her sorry. Andso Mrs. Eversley’s little mind ran on. Poor Uncle Trevor! immersed in his wide op- erations and enterpri: he hardly thought of the wants and whims of other ple; he had none of his own, Ifving simply. wearing old clothes, forget theaters, always walking, never driving, and finding all the pleasure he wanted In the successful ie of his schemes. lad he oncesuspected the state of mind in his dead brother's family, I don’t know whether he would have stopped and made them all rich in his lfetime, or would have cut them all off with a shilling. “TI don't know, mamma,” said Teresa—Mre. Eversley’s step-daughter, who was accustomed to slight habits of rebellion, at any rate in thought—“about the wisdom of our way of life. Here we are, allof us, with expensive and luxurious tastes, constantly feeling depriva- tion, and constantly mortified among people, waiting for Uncle Trevor's money, and uncle in capital health.” “I don't know any other way of life we can pursue,” sald Mrs. Eversley, with her languid elegance. “I don’t suppose even you would want me to take boarders,” “Teresa always had a vulgar east to her mind,” sald Trevor. ‘She really thinks it is as dignified to work as to live at your ease.” And he bit off the end of his cigar before sauntering out on his afternoon walk. “Poor boy!” said hismother, ‘And he would 80 well become a fortune!” “Well,” said Teresa, “Trevor may call me vulgar, and you may cover me with reproaches, mamma, but I haye weighed the matter, and i am going to hang on our expectations no lon- ger. I have spoken to Uncle Trevor, and he will lend me his name, and I shall take the rooms and open an establishment like Madame Paletot’s.” “Teresa!” “Of course I shall lose caste; but caste Is not everything In this world, as you'll agree mamma, when the dollars come rolling in and our bank account goes rolling up.” And for answer Mrs. Eversley fainted. “That Tshould live to seea child of your father’s!” 3 the fit. “And what will Harold Van Duysen say?” and went off ina series of kicking ‘hys- teri ics, “I cannot turn you, your father’s own child, out of my House and home,” said Mrs. Eversley, the next day, when Teresa had unfolded her plans more in detail. “No, you cannot,” said Teresa, quietly. “Be- cause, as the law stands, and poor papa’s will, I have just as much right in it as you have. And I don’t believe you wish to do so.” “But I can tell you what I think of a person who goes deliberately to work to spoil her sis- ter’s prospects,” sald Mrs. Eversley, now with more temper than tears, as she put her little gray curis out of her eyes. ‘Do you suppose that Harold Van Duysen will ever think of offer- ing his hand to Laura now 2” “I don’t know that he ever did think of it,” said Teresa, with a color swimming up the olive ot her cheek. “This,” sald her mother, with solemn dignity, | ‘Bas settled the matter now.

Of course, her long-occupled social position brought her at once a these in ap- proves, and those in curiosity. But having a inished taste, and knowing exactly what was wanted by the people with whom she had asso- clated, she kept them all as customers, and soon enlarged her borders. That, as she soon fel she was no longer one of nous autres did no’ affect her much; she wag tty well tired of nous aucres. But that any of such feeling should be reflected tn her haif-sister Laura was a mat- ter of regret. “Never mind, Laura dear,” she said. “When Ihave made my fortune—and I shall make it; I paid Unele Trevor up — we will go away and see the world; we will live in Europe, see the midnight sun, float on the lagoons of Venice, go up the Nile, bathe in Jor- dan, take a look at Japan. And when we come be will have forgotten all about the op. “You need’nt think I feel badly, Tara,” sald her sweet blue eyes fall of nervous tears. “I've been looking ft all over, and I can’t see anything improper, tory, in your show! aay lace and velvet to ladies, an mak eens to cut you for that, they may cut metoo.

But she did not suffer Laura to take charge of the books. ‘I can’t see why,” Laura urged, wating her pretty lips. “If you don’t let me, it only shows that you don't believe what you say, and that 73, think work is degrading, and won't let me i “It 1s not that at all,” said Teresa. “It 1s be- cause you are her own daughter, and whether I think it right on her part or not, I don’t want to pain mamma so much as I know It will pain her. And then she would really be too lonesome at home without you.” So the months wore away,and Teresa sent her forewoman to Paris for fabrics and fashions, and began her third year teeling a new interest in her which was taking an artistic char- acter in her mind, and giving her, so far as suc- cessful, an artist's satistaction. Trevor, meanwhile, still kept his place In the counting-room, more from the good nature of the employer than because he filled any require- ment. “‘It’s abominable,” he aaid to his mother, “that, taking the place I could in society, { should be Sra ee in this way Tara’s low- bred tastes and by the want of Uncie Trevor's money.

Do havea little sense.” It was surely desirable that his mother should have some sense, for Trevor had hardly any” himself. Nor did he seem to know how to find any pleasure except in rich clothes and behinda high-stepping horse. “I can’t take you to drive, Laura,” he said, “for the fellows will ask what pretty ear it * and when they hear they will Bay, yes, the sister who keeps a shop!'” He spent the whole of his salary on his pleas- ures. The whole of it? Much more than his salary,it seemed to Teresa, who looked furtivel at his goings and comings, and realized, with her alread. tter knowledge of the world, what some of these lures must cost. Was he gambling ina gentle way? Had he begged of his mother her little revenue? Had Uncle Tre- vor suddenly opened his heart and filled the young man’s purse? - That purse was evidently. fall. She began to feel a vague fear of she knew not what. She knew what very soon. Uncle Trevor waited upon her one morning in her private room, and sat down with his hat on. Taking from his pocket a large wallet, he opened {it with deliberation, ran over its con- tents, and handad her, without a word, a bit of Reber: It was a note for a large sum, signed by . Eversley, which was upon the market, and had been presented to him for payment. That told the whole story. It was a forgery—a cun- ning forgery—for it was the name of both uncle and sister, and both names carried weight. Her heart beat so heavily against her side it seemed. impossible that it should beat again. Her color fell; she could not lift her eyes. For him fo ruin them all! “‘ Well?” her uncle sald, in his hard voice. She still held the bit of paper,‘held it so tightly that her fingers were white and her nails blue. What was she todo? Her thoughts ran swiftly as lightning runs. To pay this note would ruin her, close up the busi- ness, return her to the tyranny of her stepmother, destroy all the hope that she and Laura had had of independence, put them back into their old slavery of waiting for a dead man’s shoes. But notto pay it! Tolet another soul beside herself know of the disgrace of her father’s son; to let the miserable boy suffer any more agony than the self knowledge of his base act; to let his r mother suffer such shock, such shame, such misery! rIt was all in a second. “Well?” she sald,her heart gathering itsstrength again. “Perhaps I don'tunderstand. Why did you bring me my note? Have you bought it? You need not have done that, Uncle Trevor. It wasvery kind of you, but I am good for it This isa day too early,you see, and It’s not very busi- ness-like to pay your notes before the last day of grace; but, so long as you're here, I may as welltakeit up.” “Do you mean to say,” sald the old man, ina slow and terrible way, “that this is your note?” “Certainly I mean to say it,” she answered him, although it seemed as if her voice were some inflexible weight that she must needs pull upfrom vast depth and distance. “Is not that my name?” pointing to the signature. ‘Is not that my handwriting?” The room was growing dark, was beginning to whirl; she put out her hand in ablind way, but grasped nothing, and the note fluttered to the floor. There was silence fora moment. Her uncle looked at her slowly from head to foot. “You are a handsome girl.” he sald then. “Every inch a Trevor and an Eversley.

And the scoundrel knows that he is safe, because it Is hisown name also. What alls my brother's child,” he cried, “that he should do this thing ?” ‘** and his mother does not spell her name with a ‘p!’" said Teresa, to break the force of the horror that was freezing them, and bursting into a laugh that would have been hys- terical It she had not remembered Mrs. Evers- ley’s habits. She clasped both hands about her throat in the effort to quiet herself, and stag- gered to a seat. “Well?” her uncle sald again. “I suppose ‘ou'd have brazened it out to the end with any- jody else. You're a plucky girl. As for your being a liar, I won't say you lied in a good cause; but the truth should not be spoken at all times, we've heard say. And I don't know as I should be the one to reprove you, as I shall pay this note.” “You!” “I. T gave you a hard trial, and I find you hard material. ‘I’m glad of it. I’m glad there's | somebody to uphold the Eversiey name when I'm gone. And that won't be long first. For this thing—this thing—this finding my brother’s child @ rascal—has given me a blow. There never was a blot upon the name before.” It was very plain it had given the old mana blow. He stooped and picked up the note, trembling from head to foot as Teresa did, al- | though making a strong fight. She crossed over to his side as he turned to go, took his hands in hers. and kissed them, “They are clean hands,” he said, looking at them then ina half-wondering way. “They never did a thing I am ashamed of before God. And if they have not been open hands, it is becat they have been busy ones. “Well, well, well and he went stumbling down the stairs, and Teresa left the room to set her girls their tasks through Miss Mahala. How long that dey seemed! And when ft ended, what then? Togo home and keep the horrid secret burning in her heart. How terrl- ble a thing was life where lover falled, brother betrayed, home was a desert! She would have been glad to shut her eyes upon it all that mo- ment in the marble sleep from which no one wakes. And-leave Laura? Poor little Laura! No; there was one thing left. She would live for her, and feel rewarded in the living.

She was the only child of the famous broker Briarly, the heiress to his immense fortune.

Miss Mahala carried on the business during the next six weeks or sv. Miss Eversley was hanging between life and déath.

He passed away day re yesterday morning, and will be buried this afternoon. I suppose we must wait till then for the will, but it comes hard to do it.” “Trevor! have you mo decency left?” sald Teresa. ‘e ‘4 will trouble you, Miss Eversley,” sala that ing man, “to use a different method of speech oward me. Remember that now, at any rate, I ‘am the head of the house, and if you cannot ad- dress me with the respect that I demand, donot address me at all.” All the same they drove to thelr uncle's fune- ral together, some hours later, and returned to his dingy little parlor to hear the will read by his lawyer. It was avery brief document, giv- ing the expected lepucies to the other Eversloys, and a small one to Laura. “To my nephew and namesake Trevor,” the page then ran, “I give the contents of the tnclosed envelope marked with his name, which my lawyer will hand him, and which he is to open in the presence of his sisters. And all the rest and residue of which I die seized I hereby give and bequeath to my niece Teresa Eversley, provided that she con- tinues the business in which she isnow engaged, and associates her sister Laura with herself in the conduct of the same.” Mrs. Evarsley threw up her hands with a cry. “Continue!” But her voice was arrested by or’s groan. He was looking at his legacy. It was only his forged note. “It is terrible! It 1s mysterious!” said Mrs. Eversley, as they drove home. “It is ight,” said Laura, ‘‘solemnly, sorrow- fally right.” “But as for the business, mamma,” said Te- resa, ‘now that wereally need not pursueit except to meet an old man’s caprice, you may not care so much, socially considered. Thick what a good thing it is to give employment to so many happy people as we do there! We shall have unbounded wealth outside of it, so that we can really make a plaything of the establishment; make it quite an ideal concern, and educate public opinion in such matters.” , “Pshaw!” said Mra. Eversley. | “You need not speak so. As for yourself, mamma, you shall have every luxury an lleasure, and, if you choose, you oan live road with Trevor; I willimake him my pur- chasing agent In France. That is only falr; I gave Harold Van Duysen a altuation on the books to-day.” , And Mrs. Everaley went abroad with her son. Bat the wealth of her daughters was only bitter- ness to her, with the gall and wormwood of the shop: and asfor the rest—she had seen that note as Trevor cramped it in his hands, and had comprehended the whole. “We had better have learned to dig, Trevor,” she said, asthey leaned over the vessel's aide to- ther, ‘than to have waited in that way for a jead man’s shoes, Oh, they came too late. I might have known they would. And now they pinch, they pinch!” “They sometimes do.” said Trevor. ee ogee ee A Canine Critic. From the London Sootety. In the year 1839 a phenomenon appeared in the musical world which attracted considerable attention In Geunany: A gentleman who was well known as an enthusiastic musical amateur of Darmstadt, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, had a female spaniel, called Poodle. By striking the animal whenever music was played, and a false note struck, she was made to howl. At last the threat of the upralsed sti¢k was equally, effective, presently a mere glance of the master’s eye pro- duced the same howl, and at last the false note itself. A Gertnan paper of the period says: “At the present time there is not @ concert or an opera at Darmstadt to which Mr. Frederick 8. and his wonderful dog are not invited, or at least, the Ls The vol of the prima donna, the instruments of the bad, whether violin, clarionet, hautbois, or bugle— all of them must execute their in perfect harmony, otherwise Poodie looks at its master, erecta. its ears, shows ite grinders, and howls outright.

From the Cleveland Herald. Said a well-to-do miss to a Herald reporter the other day: “I think there are few girls whose expenses for clothing exceed $200 annu- ally. My expenses do not amount to more than that, and I have to hire nearly all my sewing done. The items would be: Two tailor-made dresses, 230; a silk dress, £39; underclothing, $15—that is to say, the materials could be boucht forthat; hats and bonnets, $35; gloves, 210; shoes, $14; incidentals—collars, cuffs, laces, stockings and other articles—would not amount to more than $60. Some yeara the expenses might run upa little higher, asa new circular or cloak would become necessary, but the cost of the average young lady’s apparel will not ex- ceed $200 very often.” A®€Y OFFICER'S TESTIMONY. Captain Josern L. Hagpen, reeiding at No. 924 4th street, South Boston; Maxs., formerly captain in the army, now with the Walworth Manufacturing Company, South Boston, writes, April 28, 1888: “‘Whilo living in Cambridgépott my wife was aflipted with terrible pains in her back and sides, Sccompanied with great weak- ness and loss of appetite, she tried many so-called remedies without avatl, growing rapidly worse, when her attention was called to Hunt's Remedy.

Waxriun, No, 23 Austin street, Oambriage- Port, Mass.,makes the followihg remarkable statement. On April 21, 188%, Be writes as follows: ‘‘I have bee troubled with kidney Gisease for nearly twenty years. ‘Have suffered at times with terrible pains in my back andlimbs.

Howl cameto recover #0 remarkably oan be understood from the following ecard voluntarily published by me in the Sandusky (0.) Republican, entitled: HONOR TO WHOM HONOR 18 DUB. dltors Republican: During my recent vistt to Upper Sandusky #0 many inquiries we re made relative to what medicine, or course of treatm ent had brought such a manked change in my system, I teal it to be due tothe proprietors and to the public to state that War- ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Oure accomplished for me what other medicines and physicians had failed to do. The malarial poison which had worked its way so thor- oughly through my system during my five years resi- deuce in Florida had brought me to the verze of the ere and physicians had pronounced my case inoura- ble: but that is not to be wondered at,as 1t was undoubt- edly one of the worst on record. Hough Brothers, of your city, called my attention to the medicine referred to, and induced me to try s few bottles. So marked was the change after four weeks’ trial that I continued ite use, and now, after three months, the cure is oom- plete. This is not written for the benefit of Warner & Co., but for the public, and espectally for any person troubled with malarial or bilious attacks. Buch is the statement I made, witnout solicitation, after my recovery, and such I stand by at the present: moment. Iam convinced that Warner's Safe Cure is allitisclaimed to be, and as such deserves the great 0; | floating around us, ready to attack favorit has received. A remedy which can cure the severest case of tropical malaria of five years’ standing certainly cannct fail to cure those minor malarial troubles which are so prevalent and yet go serious.

Whenever any debility of the generative organs occurs, from whatevér cause, the continuous stream of ELECTRICITY permesting through the parts must restore them to healthy action. There is no mistake about this instrument. Years of use have tested it, and thousands of cures are testified to, Weakness from Indiscretion, Incapacity, Lack of Vigor, Sterility—in fact, any trouble of these organs is cured.
