“Not another word, sir,’ said old Fben Withers in his usual decisive manner. “I know nothing about the girl, and I don’t desire to, but I do not intend you to marry for some years, and then you are not to choose a penniless bride. You are to build up the family fortune, sir, not scatter it. No; I will mot listen.” And he turned to his morning paper again.
Young Eben said more than his prayers sometimes, and it would not de to set down all he said to himself az he left the room. He was as plucky a lad as there was in seven counties

another word than love in speaking of his father Certainty it did not seem as if his filial love was very
strong when he came to tell her what his father had said. In those days he told her everything. Afterward he grew older and learned a good many things.
Miss Mildred did not take it well. Young Eben was dissatisfied with the promptness with which she said that she would never forgive herself if she should be the cause of a quarrel be- tween him and his father.
Young Eben looked at her attentive- ly before speaking again, and that was & thing calculated to bewilder a man. couldn’t fully appreciate’ the beauty of her brown hair with its odd gleams of red and of gold before you Mould be admiring arb..ic low fore- head, full in the temples, rounded and symmterical as it was. The» a flash from her deep, large, hazel eyes would fasten your gaze for a mement, till the perfect complexion and chiseled, classic features would coax it away, and the sweet glory of her face would perplex you so with its multiplicity of charms that you wou'd fall to won- dcring which of them was most to be desired.
All this beauty, which his father had undertaken to deny him, without even seeing it, made young Eben des- perate. “Then you want me to marry some other woman,” he said.
“No, no! Never!” she exclaimed al- most wildly as she threw her perfect arms around his neck and began to sob at the thought. Her quick emo- tions were not the least of her charms.
And that is why she did not take it well. She would, and she wouldn't listen to either side of the question, Young Eben must obey his father, and he must never cease to love her, nor ever marry any one else. And nothing was ever to induce her to waver in any respect. It was delightful—and some- what perplexing.
“If you won't settle the matter,”’ he said finally, “I will.”” This. by the way,
was what he had intended from the first.
“Settle it, how?” she e+ked in some alarm.
he said firmly, will do nothing
“By marrying you,” “but not just now. I rashly.”
It must be said that the next few months were pretty hard ones for the boy. He had set himself to wait till he should be of age, the next Decem- ber, not with the thought of defying his father even then, but because he would render his services loyally to the last day. So time went on. His duty was done at his desk in the counting room so well that his father could not complain, rigid taskmaster though he was. His sweetheart was not neglect- ed, and yet he found time, or made it, to keep up his studies faithfully.
Of course, the birthday came in due time. Birthdays do. In the morning old Eben met him with something iike emotion.
“T have looked forward to this day,” he said, ‘‘as anxiously as you. You have been a good son and I believe you al- ways will be. I am proud of you, and I believe you will live to be proud of yourself. Now that you are a man I want to start you with this. It is yours to @o with as you like.”
‘This” was a check for a small for- tune. He took it from his pocket a»
he spoke and handed it to the young man, who flushed with surprise anu perfect natural pleasure as ‘he looked at it.
“It would be idle, sir, to try to thank you in words for this, or for all you kindness to me all my life,” he said. “But 1 have something else to ask. Even this princely gift of money seems small compared to that.”
Cld Eben’s face darkened. He did not like to hear money spoken of lightly, and it seemed an ungracious speech. However, he spoke kindly and with all sincerity.
“What is it, my son® You are not likely to ask anything that I could re- fuse to-day.”
“I want you, sir, to reconsider what you said about my marrying. Let me introduce you to the woman—”
The dark face grew rigid. “Let us understand this now,” said the father interrupting. “I insist upon your obedience so long as I play the part of a father. I have no legal claim, I know—”

“Don't talk of a legal claim, father,” said the son, interrupting in his turn. “Very well. It is not a claim, but I am still your father, and so long as you continue in my home you are my son. Let me hear no more of this folly I wiil never consent to this marriage. Do you understand?” “I do, God help

I will obey you in al! else, but not in fthat.” “Then we may as well part now,” eaid old Eben, stung beyond endurance by the first defiant words he had ever listened to. “You can have no claim on me henceforth.” “If we part,” saic breaking, “let us part in kindness at least. I ask for nothing more.’ And he stepped forward with his hands outstretched.
But the other drew you had no claim on me. My kind- ness was for my son, not for an in- grate. Obey me and everything shall be as it was. If not, go now.” With a despairing gesis.re the young man turned away, but his ‘ather spoke, “Stop a moment,” he said. “You have forgotten your check.” And he pointed to where young Eben had dropped it

“As you

now.” And after the young man left the room he picked up the slip of paper
and tore it in bits before throwing it into the fire. Then, seating himself at the table, he rang for his breakfast. When it was brought, however, he sat
for an hour locking straight before him and finally, leaving it unteuched he arose and went to his office.
“God help your poor father,” said
Mildred as she nestled in young Eben’s arms in the shelter of their new home the night before Christmas.
“Amen!” saia young kber. “He is poor, indeed, in loneliness, but I never can cease loving him.”
CHAPTER II.
It was a bright, happy year for the youngsters, contrary to the laws cf fiction, for they had love and hcpe and hard work to fill the time and goed cemmon sense to guide tiem, but .old
Eben had never relented, and ther¢ was a shadow over the little home,
happy as it was. One evening late in the year young Eben had come home from his work and settled himself, as his habit was, to study, when he was suddenly interrupted.
“I want to talk a little while,” Mildred, pulling his book away seating herself on his knee. “Good,” said young Eben, smiling “but you must pay for my time.”
But after she had done that ver satisfactorily with a kiss she sat fvo a long time with her head on hi shoulder, saying nothing, till at length he said, “I thought you wanted to talk to me, dear?’
Still she was silent a moment, as ii it were hard to begin. Then she said. “What would you like best for «@ Christmas present?”
Young Eben laughed. “It’s some time to Christmas yet,” he said. “I hadn't thought. Besides you gave me the most precious gifts in the world last Christmas. Anything else would seem very small after that.”
“How lovely to say that!” she ex- claied, kissing him again. “And to say it as if you meant it. But that is jus: what I am afraid of.”
This was bewi'dering. “What ar you afraid of?’ asked young: Eben. “T think’’—she faltered, “‘that the an- gels are going to bring you—about Christmas time—a blessed gift, straight from heaven, and I’m afraid you'll love i more than you do me. ‘ihen came 4

flood of tears—happy ones that young Eben was too wise to try to stop.
Old Eben might have softened a bit if he had known about this, but, of course, he didn’t. He kept himself well informed about the lad he loved, but proud as he was to see that his son could make his way in the world with- out help, he was sensitive enough 10
