By FRAN Copyrighted by th All rights Re- In relating the following story, the mo- tive of which is the true love I felt for my sweetheart Belle, I shall, for the most part, omit the love. This mutual affection had grown, warmed by the most generous sun, and nourlshed by the most vivifylng showers under which true love ever throve, into an engagement between Belle and myself. But there it stopped; and, as far as we could ece, there was no probabllity that the seasons of love would proceed in the usual order. The epring of our affection had passed, and we were enjoying the early glories of summer, but now our earth had appeared to pause in its orbit and to refuse to iucline its axis in the conventional manner which should induce the ripened fullness of the year. It was Impossible for us to fix a date for our marriage, and yet, upon first sight, there would meem to be no reason why ‘we should not marry whenever we choose, 1 was the physiclan of the village in which we lived, and my practice, although not large and not very remuner- alive, would, I was quite sure, support two as well as one; and everybody knows that a young doctor ought to bs married if he wishes to succeed. Belle was an orphan, and there was no one who could legally prevent her from becoming my wife whenever she saw fit to do so. Bat, although circumstances seemed favorable in both our cases, there was an obstacle in the way, and that obstacle was Belle's brother Horace. Horace was a good fellow, a kind brother to Belle, a genial companion to me, and talented in many ways—rather too many, in fact. Ho and his sister had a small income on which they managed to live; but, although he was at least 30, Horace had no regular business, He had studied law for a time, had taught school for a time, and for another time had had something to do with civil engineering. He had some very queer notions, and one of these was that he would not con- sent to live with us after we were mar- ried. A woman, he said, could not at the same time do her whole duty to her husband and a brother; and he made the point, to which in my own mind I could but agree, that he would be a bar to our domestic harmony. On the other hand Belle positively refused to leave her brother until ho was settled in business. At present he was undecide1, troubled, and anxious, and, withont her, there waa no knowing what should becoma of him. When Horace would be fairly started in Lfs, then might love's seasons recommence thelr course; then might our earth’s axis gently tip; then might full summer come, and marrlage. At the time my story opens we were all in a state of worried excitement. Horace had long been of the opinion that to own and edit a newspaper would suit him bet— ter than anything else in tho world. What he wanted was a country newspa- per, with a barely supporting sibscription and advertising patronage, and which might, therefore, be held at a price which should come within his ans, This paper be so proposed to improve, both by his gencral managenient and his pen, that it would be taken ¢ the country, and perhaps 1 agency in London and’ other foreign places. He wonld make its contents of such general inte that it would he read as cagerly in Tex or Australia as in the county in which was printed To those who knew Horace med the most promising of chemes for life work. He had a very peculiar and lively wit, could make a good ancedote better by telling it, never forgot anything worth = remember took a ly interest in_curcent events, quickly perceiving their humorous sides, if they happened to have any, and often giving them one if they had not. We all felt that if Horace owned a paper he would 1 put his whole soul into it, and then he would succe He could not expect to be able to sf one; but to buy a journal already established is often ~within the seach of persons of moderato means, The cause of our present nervous anxi- ety was the fact that Horazs had recent— l{ heard that in an adj.ining county there was a weekly newspaper for sasle which would suit him exactly. The edi- tor and proprietor, who was a clergyman, had long been deslrous of glving up jour- nalism aud taking cherge of a church,and had only been prevented by the difficult; of disposing of his paper. "An opportuni- ty to make the change in his life that he wished had just ocourred t> him. A country church, not far from the town where he lived, had been for some years under the chargs of a young minister, whose health had became very much broken. He had been counselled to seek a climate more sultable to his hea th, but had been unable to do so for want of zun\l. He not only pesded mocey to avel, but he had debts which he would not leave unpald. His church owed him considerable arrcarages of salary, making & sum quite suflislent for his purposes, but which it was at present upable to pay. The canse of the sccumulation of pastoral debt was rather pecnlisr. A widow lady had died, and left a legacy to the church, which its officers had deter- mined to appropriate to much needed re- pairs of the edifice. Hat there had bean 8 delay in the psyment of the legacy, the execators of the will having not yet made cer a'n ssles, upon whi this payment depended. The young minister,who was very zealous for the good of his parish, had therefore consented that the money which would otherwise bave been paid to him should be used for the repairs, while he would wait for the paywent of the leg- acy. This would have all been very well but for the fatlare of his health. Winter was coming on, and he ought t1 O awsy a8 r0on as possible; he could mot do #0 without money, and his congregation Was poor, 1t was now well known to the editer of the newspaper, before-mentioned tha' the church would be resdy to accept him #a Its pastor as soon as (he money could be raised to enable the present incumbent to leave. If he could sell his newspaper he would be perfectly willing to ldvnnn.a this money, and wait for payment until the legacy should be received by the church., {'he young minlster was no less anxious to go south than was the editor to secure his church. If the money should be obtained from some other uarter, the present incambent would o art, and the editor would thas lose his opportunity, for he could not afford to give up hlu&)npor until he had found & purcheser, and the vacant pulpit would suon be filled by some one else. In this case, too, Ilorace would lose his great chance of settling In life; and Belle and It this momentons traln of events should happeun to start at T could not macry. the wrong end all would be woe for us. It 1t should atart at the other end—that is our end—all wonld be joy. 8o far as we could see, there was only one way of starting It properly. Among the varions bents of Horace's mind was one for mechanics, and he had made an invention which seemed to possess real merit, This was a ‘‘hecl-turner, machine for turning the heels of stock- ings. I never understood its mechanism, not belng apt at sach things, and all 1 know about it is that it was intended to save a groat deal of trouble to knitters who are not proficlent in *‘tarning the heel” of socks and etockings. The knitter knit down to the heel, then she put her work into the machine, set It in motion, and when the heel was turned, took 1t out and went on with her knitting. If Horace could disposo of this valuable invention, even at the low- est price at which he would be willing to sell it, he could buy the country newspa-— per; the editor could lend the money to the church, who would pay off the inva- lid preacner and let him go south, with the ex-editor as his successor; and Hor- aco_ belng settled, the best of all things could happen to Belle and myself. As might well bs supposed, Horace, who was a nervous man, was in a fever of excitement in regard to this affalr. He now thought of nothing but the sale of his heel-turner., If he could dispose of it, even for enough to make the first. cash payment demanded by the editor, he could enter into possession, and had no doubt of his ability to make the small periodic payments which would complete the purchase. 1f he could not sell his invention nothing could be done. Bor- rowing was out of the question even if he could have found anyone who would lend him the money, for Horace was not s borrowing ma; 1 was al a8 much excited as Horace, for I considercd the case more important to me than to him. If In any way I could have ralsed the money I would nothave hesitated a moment to buy the heel-turner, evenif I should do nothing with it bat stow 1t way in a cor- ner. It would have been cheap at any price. But, although the Income from my practice was sufficient for my ordi- nary needs, it would be utterly impossi- ble to ralse a sum large unough to buy the right to the heel-turner, and to set in motion that machinery which should turn the heel, 8o to speak, of my exist— ence. Horace had made every effort possiblo to find a purchaser, and we all began to be in despalx. I was very much de- pressed, for if this affair should fall through Horace would be more unset- tled than ever, and Belle might make up her mind to cling to him through life, as many & girl gives up true love and a happy home to twine herself in dutifal spirals about some unfortunate relative whose jagged trunk and branches scem to need the protection of her sheltering leaves. With my feellngs very plainly indicated on my countenance, I was walking down the main street of the village when in front of the large house belonging to our lawyer, I saw John Broadly. John was a ;poor man, and a very Industrious one, who was held in high repute by everybody in the place. This good fellow had had his troubles, but we all hoped they were soon coming to an end. He was at pres- ent toiling day after day and week after week in the grounds of the lawyer, earn- estly engaged in “‘working out a divorce;" that Is to eay, he was digging and plant. ing and dolng anything else that might be requlred, until he had in this way paid the costs of a legal separation from his wife When I first came to the vil- lage I feund Mrs. Broadly a very pecu- liar invalid with a complication of dis- eases, which not only taxed my abllities but roused my ambitton. For nearly two years I attended her dally, and S | sometimes nightly, and supplied, besides, a good deal of costly medicine, and al- though poor, Johu was notable, by means of her many other requirements, to pay me a cent. I felt rewarded by my great success, for I entirely cured Mrs. Broadly, and thereby grestly raised my reputation in the place. But, alas! 1t might have been better for John if his wife had never recovered. When she got well she made things so hot for him and conducted herself generally in such a way that everybody considered John jus- tified when he determined to apply for a divorse, This he had obtained, and now he was laboring hard, with spade and wheelbarrow, to pay for it. **Well, John,” sald I, “how are you getting on?” ‘‘Prety well, doctor,” answered he, coming down to the front fence, *‘in a couple of weeks more I'll ba done here and then 1'm equare with Mr. Forbes, It seeras a little queerish that I should first pay him for getting rid of my wife, be- fore 1 pay you for glving her back to me out of the very olaws of death, for it looked that way to everybody. But when you're married and settled, doctor, and have grounds to be fixed up, and a warden to be made, I'll come and work for you just as I'ma doin’ here. I've had hard times, and have lost & good deal of money by workin’ where I was never pald, but unless my legs and arms Rive out, doctor, I'll 520 you don’t lose any- thing by me. *I'm afraid I shsll not want a garden soon,” 1 answered, “‘and it would seem a pity, anywsy, for {ou to be working to pay for what really caused you a great deal of m'sery. If it had not been for me, what a lot of trouble you would have been saved!" you mustn’t look it that way, doctor,” said John, *‘it isn’t pious. You oured her, which was your duty, avd 1 endured her ay long as I could, which was mine; and now sl happily gone, and you can't imagine what a comfort 'tis to me, dootor, to think that I put her away well and haarty. I never could a' rested happy if 1 hadn’t done that. Bui you don't look happy. Has things been goln’ wrong?” John took an interest, 1 knew, in my aftairs, sud so I did not object to tell him that I was worried because 1 could not ralse 10ney emough t> buy the heel- turaer invention, He greatly wondered why I should want to make such a pur. chase as thls, and his eager questions brought out all the facts of the case. The worthy wan was wach amused and barst out laughing, +*‘Why, doctor,” he exclaimed, ‘‘that's a2 good & story as I've heard this many or cashed and buy his heel-turner, get a day. It beats the books, Bat I'm eorry for you if you've got nothing better to depend on than %myln that heel turner. Even if you ocould raise the monsy 1t would be a bad speculation. Them as can't turn heels will never knit,” As I walked away from John Broadly [ could not help thinking of the amuse- ment the recital of my difficulty hadgiven him, It was a good story; no doubt of it. As my mind dwelt upon the matter a queer idea came to me. Suppose I were to write this story, and by selling it raisc mone; nough to get us out of our troub There would be something de lightfully fitting about®that. To make the story of our perplexities the cute of the actual troubles would be an odd, but glorious trimuph, This idea now took possession of my mind, and the more I thought about it the better 1 liked it. Horace and_Belle might object to have this story told, but I would not only keep my own counsel about it, I would send it somewhere where they would not see it, and thus nobody interested would ever be annoyed. I had frequently written stories which had been heard with apparent satisfaction by my friends, but I had never published anything, and knew nothing in regard to the monetary value of manuscripts such as I proposed to write. I determined to write the story. There was nothing else that I could do, and if the train of clrcumstances on which our fortunes depended shonld not be started until my work was done, I myself might do the starting, and I asked nothing bet- ter than that. By day and by night, using every minuts I could spare from wy practice and necessary eleep, I worked at my story. After what seemed to me a long perlod of writing, rewrlting, correction and copying, the manuseript was finished and ready to be sold. I will not recount my experiences in endeavoring to dis- pose of it to one periodical after another. In every case I opened my correspon- dence with an inquiry In regard to the price I might expect in case of accept- tance, and the answers I received con- vinced me that there was no hope of my solling the story to any periodical for enough money to carry out my inten- tions, This very much surprised as well as depressed me, but it 85 happened that I was suddenly obliged to make a busi- ness visit w8 nelghboring city; and here I met a gentleman whose business it Was to supply original stories and articles to a combination or syndicate of newspapers scattered all overthe country, and who was thus enabled to pay authors a very good price for their work. To this gentleman I submitted my story and ina fow days after my return home 1 received an offer from him for it. The price !pro- posed was not as high as Thad hoped it would be, but T accepted it. It might not be enough to give the impetus to that movement of my affairs which 1 desired, but I would try what could be done with it As soon as my check arrived I had it went to Horace to offer to T haven't enough to pay for it out and out,” I raid, “but I thought perhaps you would let me have it and take this much on account,” Horace was naturally surprised at_both my ability and wish to purchase his in- vention, “but he was alto very much pleased. own it than any one else,” he cried. you manage it properly it will make your fortune. does not represent anything like the value of the invention, but I will sell it to you fora smaller cash payment than I would take from anybody else in the world.” “I would rather you' should oIf As for the money, of course it “Do you think this will be enough to enable you to buy the paper?” I asked. Ihave alittle that I can add to it,” said Horace, “and Mr. Henley is so anxious to dispose of his paper that I be- lieve he will take this, and let the rest go on instsllments, carry out my journalistic plans I will give 1f I can get a chance to the paper a boom that will enable me to pay off everything in less time than he will give me, I shall take the 10 o'clock train and see him before he goes to din- ner " ‘I'here was something about the manner of Horace which did rot exactly please me. I had expected him to be wildly gratefal, but his manner seemed to imply that, while he was greatly delighted to get the money, he felt that he had conferred a great favor on me by letting me have his confounded machine for so little cash, What he was golng to charge me for it in the future 1 did not know, nor did I cara, He might have it back agsin whenever he liked, If things worked well, he had conferred the great- est favor upon me, but not in the way he supposed. That afterndon 1 wen' to see Belle, whom I found in a state of pleasurable nervoueness, Knowing how much I had the matter at heart, she had not been surprised at my halng able to raise the money, but she petsisted in considering it In the light of a personal glft to Hor— ace from an all {00 generous man, ‘‘What do you want with a heel-turn. er?” she said. “It will be of sbout as much use to you as a planet-corer,” ‘‘What is that!” I exclaimed. *“Why, a thing to take the core out of worlds, so that the inhabltants on op- posite sides will not have to go way round. You know that wouldn't be of any value to you,” *‘But, my desr,” I said, ‘‘that most, chumln,e; invention that I expect to ‘Do you mean to ssy that you bought?” sho cried, with sparkling eyes. The necessity of an snswer was pre- vented by the ~ tempestuous entrance of Horace. “Buholdp me!" he shonted, throwing his bat on the floor and pulling himeelf up to his loftiest height. I am the editor!" Into our excited minds Horace now soured his story, The Rev. Mr, Henley }nml jumped at_his offer. He had heard that letters had passed between the officers of the church he wanted anda clergy- man in the west, and the news had great- Iy agitated him. -The chance of securing a parish so near his present home, and in every way 8o congenial to him, must pot be lost, and he would have sold his paper for almost any sum in hand. What more was necessary to anticipate the ment of the widow's legacy, and s> facilitate the departure of the present incumbent, he could obtain from other resources, Now all was turmoil, for Horace vowed he must be offimmediately, It was ne- cessary that be should be instructed in the constitution and working of his jour- nal; that he should be introduced to peo }- ; that he should arrange for running a ittle while on en that he should talk to advertisers; that hé should do a thousand things. He must go to-morrow. Regardless of the inconvenience which this sudden up sotting of her domestic affalrs caused to Belle, she most gladly asslsted her brother to depart, and sat up nearly all alght to seo that his clothes were in »rder, while I did everything I could do feeling all the time as if I were drivin him into an Eden In order that I might enter into a better one. Horaco was now settled at his life work. Belle had taken up her tem- porary residence with an aunt in the village, and I was in the vestibule of Paradise. We were to be married in a month, No one could see any possible reason for delay. About & week before the day appoint od for onr wedding I received a letter from Horace which threw me Into con- stornation. The seasons of my life and love had advanced once more, with all their joys and beautles, their opening flowers, and their ripening grain, and all the gloriea of the perfected year soomod just at hand, when that letter, like a cold wind from the north landed with sleet, hall, and bltter chill, swept down upon me, threatening blight and rain. The plane of my elliptic, and the exile ot my soul, seemed to have forgot- ten that they had anything todo with each other, and August threatened to step back to March. Horace wrote in the highest spirits and in the brightest hopes. The first number of the paper fssued under his edlitorship had created quite a stir. A number of people who had never cared for it before came in to subscribe, New advertisements had been secured that lifted the heavy end of his running expentes, and he was about to Introduce a novel feature which he was sure would help him more than anything he had done. He would print every week a first-class American story which had never appeared before. Country papers could not, ordinarily, afford to pay for such storles, but he had made a contract witha literary agent who could furnish them on exceedingly easy terms, He pgave methe name of this agent. It was the man to whom I hed sold my story. No one will wonder at my consterna- tion. The new feature was to begin im- mediately, and it was very likely, in- deed, more than likely,that, among other storles, Horace would receive the narative fof his own peculiar mis- fortunes and predicaments. 1f, In the midst of his many duties he had not time to rend the manascript, it micht even be put In type and hurrled into his paper; and In this case the whole re- markable chaln of events would be por- trayed in one of its links. Horace was such a sensitive man, such a passionate and impulsive man, that [ knew not how his impetuous spirit would break out if he saw this story, Belle, too, was as high-spirited as her brother. I trem- bled for everything for which I hoped, The great point now was, to get mar- ried. Once united to Belle I felt that I could defy even this fate, and my anxie. ty for the ceremony must have appeared ridicalous. I even proposed to Belle that we should be married on Monday instead of Thuraday. But at thisshe only laughed. She could not possibly be ready so sosm, and, besides, it was too absurd. On Wedneeday Horace wrote that he had every posatble desire to attend the wedding, bat he had so much on hand which must be done he really did not see how he was going to do it. At all events he could not expect to arrive before the hour appointed for the ceremony. It happened, fortunately, at this time that our village was peculiarly healthy, and that L was little called upon in a profes- sional way., Had it been otherwise, I fear that my reputation would have suf- fered. The day arrived; the thunder cloud had not yet broken, and the wedding party went to the church. Horace had not come, and now I hoped with all my heart that he would not come. His very appearance would unnerve me. QOur good old pastor proceeded very slowly with the ceremony, and he actual- ly stopped for a moment, when at the words, ‘‘When the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed.” I hastily murmured “I will,” and with a reproving glance he recommenced the sentence. How could I help my feeling of nervous haste when into my mind there continually came the figure of Horace burating into the church wildly waving a newspaper over his head and forbldding the ceremony to proceed? But apparation appeared not. We were safely married and left the village for a short bridal trip. When we re- turned I took my wife to the home I had prepared for her and all would have been perfect hsppiness for both of us had it not been for anxiety on account of that unfortunate story, And yet I could not call it unfortunate. Had it not been for its ald I should not now be married, 1f it had only been some other etory! But I never could have thought of anything 80 odd, so acceptable to aneditor as that, My uneasines in regard to this matter was greatly incressad by some remarks of my wife very scon after we had settled id our new home “‘Our life is charming,” she sald, *“but when I think in what & queer way all this came to be, and how it depended on such a funny string of things, it seems perfectly ridiculous, and I wouldn't have anybody know of it for the world. The idea of our marriage depening on your buying a heel-turner, and somebody "else going into the ministry. How every- body would laugh were it known? But as nobody will know it does not matter, and we will put the model of Horace's ma- chine on a bracket in some quiet corner, and cover 1t with laurel wreaths and any- thing else that looks pretty.” How people would laugh if they knew it! And what would Belle think if she read it in her brother’s own pipsr—that journal so eagerly perused every week. And even if Horace dld not print it, hs would be sure to see it in scmo of his ex- changes, How to avert this certain danger I knew not. I had thought of writing fo the literary sgent, and asking him not to sell the story to Horace. But this would be of little use, as it would appear In other quarters. &nd, besides, any request of tnat kind would connect in the agent's mind, my brother- in-law with the matter. Any one in my place, possessed of sufficient mo3ans, would have instantly endeavored to buy the story back agaln, But my marriage had strained my resources to their utmost I could do notbicg in this way, The trouble 1 was in could not fail to have & notibeable effaot npon e, and Belle probed iy heart with many an sffectionate inquiry; while Horacs, who bounced In upsn us occaslonslly, re- marked that I did not look half as happy as I ought to he, 1 wasin my office one morning just preparing for my daily round, when John Broadly came in, “‘Doctor,” said he, “I'm ready now to equare up mattess between us,” ““I'm sorry, John,” T answered, *‘but I don't think that I can just now make any | LO! arrangements of the kind; I have a good deal on my mind, and I don't know what I will have done lo the gardening line. 8o, if you like, we'll put that off for the present,” “You do look troubled, doctor,” said John Breadly, “but I haven't come to talk about the garden work.
