It was a very simple one. At her| father’s doath three years before, Doris ; had been throwa upon her own resour- | ees. As.po other means of gaining | livelihood .presented, she had entered | acotton ‘aill in her native town, and worked at the looms until courage failed } and her very heart had turned Bick at | the prospect of a long lifesof such un- | congenial drudgery. _ |

‘Silly ehild ! Why did you not come to me loag before?’ demanded Miss) Priscilla, trembling with grief and pain ait the recital.

‘Because I did not know where to find you. Papa rarely spoke of you, and he was unconscious for days before he died. 1 stumbled upon your address in one of his old letters, only yesterday and came at ence.’

‘That was right, dear, I’m a lonely old man with no one to love. God must have directed you.’ Pa

When Reginald Brent dropped in, the nex! evening, and learned that Doris was actually going to remain, he curled his lip fashion he had, and said :

after the disagreeable

‘Of course you will do as you please, aunt Priscilla. But my advice is that yon jook well after your spoons and jewel-bo» while that girl) is in the} house—

An angry stamp cut the sentence short, and Reginald dared uot begia, another iike it.

As the days wore on, Doris with her sweet disposition and soft clinging ways won so large @ place ia Miss Priscilla’s heart that the latter wondered how she had ever doue without her.

‘Phe Lord sent her on purpose to cheer my last days, and take my moaey when I :lie,’ the old woman oftea said toherself. ‘Regioald the rascal, will never cet a penny ef it.’

Bat Roginald was shrewd enough to sec the way the wind blew, and one evening, while Miss Priscilla was sleep- ing soundly in her corner beside the fire actually proposed to make Doris his wife.

Bat Doris who cherished very differ- ent dreams, and was, in fact, half afraid of the handsome young fellow, burst into teers,

‘j—] —never thought of such a thing,’ she sobbed. ‘1 am sorry, but I—I—co not love you, and could never be vour Wife.’

And she ran eut of the room, leaving her discomfited suitor to meet the dis- appointment alone.

Ono day, a week later, on enteriag the drawing-room unexpectedly. she} found Miss Prescilla couating a roll of |

bills before the fire. ‘Five hundred dollars!’ the

man exclaimed. ‘It’s alarge sum ef

money to keep in the house, but I'l!

risk it for once. Here, Doris, put these

notes away in my desk, in the left-hand

corner, and bring me the key.’

ees i) Oia Wo-

rr . ; } ‘ Tine girl obeyed; but twenty-four hours later Miss Priscilla came to her

lookin very whiteand scared. She held the key of the desk in her shaking hand.

‘Did you put the roll of I told you ?’ she demanded,

‘Yes, aunt, Doris replied, looking up in vague alarm.

‘Tt is false! sort.’

‘Oh, aunt —’

‘The money is gone!’ cried the old | womsa, in @ passion. -*Imever dream: } el of being so deceived by you. Give | it back to me instantly, or Vil have you punished.’ |

Doris turned deadly pale.

‘You don’t think Ihave taken the} money ?’ she gasped.

‘Cortainly. No one elee knew it was inthe house. IL feund the desk locked as usiial, just now—~—nothing disturbed | exce;t the money. That’s missing. | you must havo slippedit into your! pocket—

‘] never did!’

‘Jiush! No denials. I don’t believe} you. ‘The sooner you own up, and re- | turn the money the better it will be for. you;

The girl rose with gentle dignity. |

‘Jam no thief, Auat Priscilla,’ she} said, ‘I have nething to confess—-no~ thing torestere?

‘hen you ean Jeave the house in-} stanily. 1 will not harbor you another | hon.’ |

Romonstrance was useless. The next! day Doris was back again in her eld | place at the mill, and had taken up the; thread of the toiling, monotonous life | she detested, precisely where it was,
