A little surprised at the request, idna took the box and placed it in her mocket, and after thanking her for her imely shelter she rode away with her :ousin, following the boy, who trod the orest paths with an assuring familiarâ€" ty. Before long they emerged upon the igh road, and were soon in sight of he towers of Greystone Grange. Edna Greystone was the adopted iece of the owner of the Grange.

The young man laughed rather unâ€" â€"asily. "I was not aware that I did ; but, o truth, Edna, that old hag makes my rlood creep. _ I shall be glad when we wre on our homeward way." In & short time the old woman reâ€" «ppeared, and with bher was a small, oughly clad urchin. ©You should not have spoken so aughtily, Richard," said Edna, gently s their hostess left the room. "Keep your money, young man," she aid, harshly, _ "Though I‘ve done but ittle good to anyone in my life, I do 106 want pay for a simple act of hosâ€" itality©" "My good woman, you must accept this as an expression of thanks for your shelter. _ You say you know of a guide ut of these gloomy woods!?

"When you return, Mr. Evans, I shall probably not be here. I must not delay to seek for something to do. You know I am dependent on myself now." Looking but a shadow of her former joyous self, Edna listened quietly as Randolph Evans told her that the next day he was to start for Florence, . to find, if possible, the girl who, when a babe, had been robbed of her inheritâ€" ance, only to have it restored to her again in this strange way, _As he rose to go Edna gave him her hand. Thus sweet Edna Greystone was at one stroke deserted. For when he had seen how things turned, the lover whom she had thought all that was good and true had signified too plainly to be misâ€" understood his desire to release himâ€" self from their engagement. The squire‘s funeral over, it devolved upon Mr. Evans to see "old Mog." He found the rude dwelling which had been her home, but in It, guarded by her faithfui dog, who lay at her feet, was only the lifeiees body of her he sought. However, from papers disâ€" covered among her possessions, the truth of what she had asserted was proved beyond all doubt, and he learnâ€" ed also the name of the forâ€"ign city in which the stolen heiress of Greystone might be found. Under the excitement of what he haa thus discovered, with ‘the impatiâ€" ence peculiar to advanced age, the old gentleman had immediately written a new will, intending as his words showâ€" ed to make ample provision for Edna, after consulting his lawyer, by an addâ€" ed codicil. 2l But death had interrapted him, and so the codicil‘was never written. On opening the metal box which "old Mog" had sent, in it he had found & paper in which she confessed that, haunted by the stinys of remorse, and feeling that she had not long to live, she had determined to reprir, if she sould the wrong done by her _ some twenty years before. She had then gone on to state that it had been she who had stolen and taken to a forsign land the squire‘s infant daughter, thus avenging herself for a fancied wrong done her by her mistress. The box also contained some articles of jewelry which the squire at once recognized as having belonged to his wife, Before long Edna knew allâ€"that her adopted uncle whom she had alâ€" ways thought childless, had in reality had one daughter, who had been stol=n when a mere babe by a revengeful nurse who had been dischargea by his wife. For years after his wife‘s death re had unwearyingly searched for any clew to his missing child, until be had received anony mous communications to the effâ€" ect that she was dead. Then duringhis travels he met Eina, and taking a fancy to her had adopted her. "This is a strange business ; but I fear that this means only one thing, and that is that Miss Greystone is left unprovided for, while to his daughter (if she be living) belongs the whole (Greystone property." That evening he had a conversition with Mr. Evans, the squire‘s Iawyer, who, some months. before, had drawn up old Mr. Greystone‘s will. The two gentlemen ta‘ked long and eaxruestly. until finaily Mr. Evans said : As Edna‘s betrothed husband, Richâ€" ard Greystone took all charge of in=tâ€" ters upoun himself. _ He had been the first to see the p«per found upon the aquire‘s table, and as he prrused it, the ruddy eolor had suddenly left the jyoung man‘s cheek. He had not retired for the night when the summons had come, for they found him seated by his table, while before him was a sinall metal box and a freshlyâ€"written paper. _ The equire of Greystone, the genial old man whom all had loved, was dead. The following morning great conâ€" sternation filled the Grange. Servants trod the Hxll with pale, tearful faces and careful steps, while in her room sat Edna stricken with the first deep grief which had ever come into her young life. Upon how slender a thread does desâ€" tiny sometimes turn! Had Edna waited until the: next day, my story would not have been written. Throwing on a wrapper, she proceed ed to her uncle‘s room. The old gentleman was much relieved at their safe arrival, and listened with interest to Richard‘s humorous account of their adventure. Edna had never unce thought of mentioning to Richard anything wbout the litt‘e box. she had placed in her pocket while in the hut, and not until she was ready to retire for the night did the old woman‘s comâ€" mission occur to her mind. time in travelling,, until lately he had returned home, accompanied by this fair young girl who called him "uncle," and whom every one looked on as his heiress. With them had also come a nephew, the child of the squire‘s only brother ; and it was not long before the country folk found out that the young people were betrothed. It would be hard to picture Richard Greystone‘s rage and disappointment when he learned the truth ; and his chagrin was complete when a year later he heard of the approaching marriage of the talented young lawyer, Ranâ€" dolph Evans, to the beautiful heiress whose romantic story rendered her the cynosure of all eyes. It was not a difficult task for Ranâ€" dolph to convince Edna that his first offer had not hbeen through mere pity, and when once more he asked her to Thus strangely was Edna proved to be the babe who had been stolen twenâ€" ty years before to gratify a feeling of revenge in a passionate woman‘s heart. Mr. Evans had found the wondering Italian he had sought, and had learned that they had resigned the charge "old Mog" had left them, and which they soon felt to be a burden, to an English gentleman of means. All they knew of him was that his name was Ralph Greystone, and that he lived in a place called "Greystone Grange." It was too wonderful to realize or understand at once, but all was soon explained. ‘"Let me present to you your mistâ€" ress !" he said. "Mr. Greystone‘s own daughter, whom a kind Providence led him to see and love, although he died without knowing of the ties of blood that existed between them." Edna‘s words of welcome remained unuttered as she looked at him with surprise plainly depicted upon her face. Taking her hand, Mr. Evans shook it heartily ; then, with a beaming counâ€" tenance and eyes whose gladness was dimmed by a mist of emotion, he led her to Mrs. Thomas, who headed the long line of servants assembled in thse hall. The day passed swiftly away until afternoon ; then Edua‘s beart alinoss stood still as the sourd of carriage wheels fell upon her ear. Controlling herself with an effort, she hastened to the door. Tt opened, and Mr. Evans sprang lightly up the stone steps to her sideâ€"but he was alone ! No slender, girlish figure followed him. Edna had no difficulty in obtaining leave of absence for a few days.y She found the Grange affairs running in their usual orderly groove, under the skillfal guidance of the old hougekeaper, who had grown gray in h¢r present position, having been left‘ in charge during all the years of her‘master‘s soâ€" journ abroad. _ It was indeed a paizful moment for the young girl as the servants, who all loved "their Miss Edna," as they still called her gathered around her with tears of joy ; for it was the first time she had been in her old home since one month after the squire‘s death she had left its familiar scenes. ‘‘Were Mr. Greyston@alive, he could not but be satisfied with his daughter. She is a truly loving young girl, and to see her is to love her. Cau you be in Greystonewhon we arrive?" he concluded. ‘"Forgive me if I am asking something that will be pâ€"inful to yow Bav for my knowledge of your generous, digâ€" interested nature, I showld hesitate in ma.kilfg such a request." & Edua read with intense intwrest hi« account of the discovery of the young girl. In her noble mind n« unworthy jealously lurked; but instead #>e looked forwara with plessure, to seeing the daughter of him who had taken her from a life of squalor and poverty, and who had always heen so kind to her. In his letter Mr. Evans said ; e lind learned of the whereabouts of "old Mog‘s" brother and his wife, and would soon be wble to present to the Greystone tenantry their mistress, Edna occasionally heard from Ranâ€" dolph Evans details of his quest ; but up to this time he had uot been succes ful. He had gone to the city where "old Mog" had left the babe in chairge of relatives, but found that the persons to whom he had been directed had not lived there for some years. Time passâ€" ed on, until one duy a letter came in which the young lawyer announced his final success. At first it had been a erushing blow to her sensitive heart to find that her loxer was false and mercenury ; but as time rolled on, she grew to feel less and less the pain of her dissppointm=nt, and gradualiy herâ€"love for Richard Greystone died away and left behiad no bitter sear. The next day Mr. Evans started fo. Fiorence ; and n week Inter, through the aid of a friend, EAna obtained a position as governess. _ Herrew duties seemed strange and bard at first ; bat hers was a niture to be above difficulâ€" ties ; and in the society of the dear little ones whose teacher she was, she daily grew more resigned to her lot. "Miss Greystone, it will be very hard for you, reared as you have been, to battle with the world. Will you not allow me to give you the protection of wy name and love 2" Before the young raan could answer she had left him, and as he rode away the thaught uppermost in his mind was, how utterly foolish had been his illâ€" timed words. That he did love EAna be knew well ; but he feared that, by his haste, he had ruined any chance he might have had to win her a«ffeetions in return. ‘Edua started violently, while a wave of crimson rushed over her prle face ; then she said, gently : "I thank you, Mr. Evans, for the kindness which I know prowmpts your words ; but you misjudge me. . Edua Greystone could never stoop to marry merely for x home !" Waterloo County Chronicle. Elgin, I1l., ; why shouldn‘t they?

The firm who employed him failed and he was thrown out of employment. He was unable to get work and was reduced to severe straits as he had been unable to save anything from the small wages he had been earning. One day in a fit of depresâ€" sion he wandered down to the Battery where he met a man who asked him if he wanted work. He replied eagerly. that he did and was told that a firm down in Costa Rica wanted men. They were paying four dollars a day in wages and would pay his passage, _ He quickly closed with the offer and, not daring to tell his wife where he was going, he went on board at once. On the arrival of the ship he learned that he and about forty other men were to be sent into the interior of the country to work on a railroad. He made enquiries about the country and was told by an American whose acquaintance he made in the port, that it was a fatal place. Not more than one in ten who went there lived to return. He refused to go and, with one fof his fellow travellers similarly entrapped, he set out to find work. He served as waiter in a hotel and later as a helper on a ranch near Leon in Nicaragua. He saved enough to start in business in a small way. His business grew until he accumuluted a fortune. He wrote several times to his wife, but receiving no answer, concludâ€" ed that his letters failed to reach her. He became anxious about her and finally disposed of his business and returned to New York, where, after a day or two‘s search, he found her living in poverty.

It contained a Bible, two magazines and a letter. .
