A Reversal
A Love Story of W ealth
and Poverty
By F. A. MITChTi.
Edward t'ergusou was a very good
fellow, but all good fellows tin ve their
faults, and Ned has Ills, ills father
was at tb bead of the firm of Fergu
son & Co. and understood to be rich.
At aujr rate, be and tils family lived In
fine style. Ned was to take bis fa
ther' place at the head of the arm
and was looked upon rs nn excellout
eaten by all the .young tMrla of uis ac
quaintance. He could have married
any one of several wltb a furtuue In
her own right
Tbla be would bave liked to do, for
he was ambitious to take a hlub posi
tion Id the world that U, such a po
sition aa great wealth brings but un
fortunately be fell In love with a girl
who could uot aid biiu In this respect.
Marcla Kosdlck waa the daughter of a
umn who waa a born exiieriuieuter.
lie bad tried so many experiments
and failed so many times that when
ever bo launched a new scheme It was
dubbed another of Fosdiiks follies.
Ned must either relinquish the plan
of adding to bis prospective fortune by
marriage or suffer and cause Mitrola to
suffer, for the affair between them was
mutual. I bave said that be was a
tiood fellow lie abowed It by giving
up so much of his ambition us per
tained to an addition to his fortune by
mnrrlage. 1 have said that ho hnd hi
faults. The way be showed one of
them was this:
lie wished Marcla to appreciate the
sacrifice he wus waking lu marrying a
girl who could not aid him In bis do
slre for that power wbh-li weulth Is
capable of giving But how could he
transmit a statement of the fart to
her? It was a very delicate matter
for htm to handle. He was a much
better writer than talker, in a letter
he could say Just what he wanted to
say and no more; In speech be did not

express himself well and wus apt to say
too much. It occurred to him to make
his formal declaration to Marcla In a
note. Under cover of this greatest
compliment a man cud pay a woman
he might Impart the fact that he bad
resigned one of several fortunes for
tier. Tbla, Instead of making blin ap
pear to honor ber by marrying ber,
would show that he loved tier better
than worldly goods.
He wrote a number of notes, trying
his best to give this Impression, but do
what he would an appearance of con
ilcKcenslou on bis part would crop out
among his most carefully chwn
words. He laid the letters aside and
in a few iliivs read llieiil uVet, ctiiH!:;2
the one that be considered smacked the
least of bonorlriK the girl be was ask
ing to be bis wife, Lint to another It
would certainly not have been an Ideal
proposal, fur every one knows that a
lover must he nothing more than a
iK'irt'ar
(Vrguson laid the letter on his writ
ing difk In bis room. Intending to xt
It the next morning when he went to
huskies Rut before leaving in the
morning he read It over and concluded
not to send It till his return In the
evening " He put It In an uniidiltcHned
envelope and locked It up. During the
day he bad a good deal of tiuslncus
f.irrc.p"ioIeiice with parties In Sun
l-raie-lnco about a rnntler that ocrn
pled bis wbi.le attention. On return
lug to his home In the evening he toU
out the letter with Hie Intention of
rcadii g It atMin. hut. Iteing nli!iiiM'l
of bis vacillation, refrained, ndilres.-tcd
It. sealed It and iifir dinner took It
out and put It In the Iwter !.
When several days had f Missed and
he received no reply to hi proposal l,e
began to worry. Could it t. that, aft
er all. the letter had appeared! to Mar
cla s if he considered himself alto
gether too good for bei? Kvery day
tfter that added to his terror, and
when a week had passed and he re
ceived no answer be was completely
demoralized. Then followed periods of
sensitive fear, calmness, stmtne and
pride Why conlil be uot have gone
to see Marcla and said simply, "1 love
you lie my wife J"
Instead of taking a traiu and going
a dozeu miles to the suburban town
where Marvlti lived and having It out
with ber he undertook to analyse her
feelings ou receiving bis note. He
could see her Up curl on reading his
so called delicate reference to what ha
had given up for ber. Theu he fan
cied her Indignantly tearing the note
Into little bits and tossing them Into
the wastebasket.
Instead of going to Man-la and
throwing himself on her mercy be lis
tened to the dictates of pride. A man,
he argued, conscious of right, of u
Hrlorlty, defers to a woman. She re
ceive tila deference and appreciates
it as homage. But let blin beg for
giveness for a wrong he has done her
nud be will only add to bur contempt
for him.
This reasoning decided hlu) to stand
ou his dignity. He would await some
word from Mania If It killed him It
certainly wore ou him dreadfully. Ha
had been used to calling ou her at
least once or twice during each mouth.
They seldom met except when he call
ed iihiii her, for she seldom came to
the city, and when she did there waa
a very slight probability of their pass
ing each other. However, a couple of
months after Ned bad wrtttou his pro
posal they did meet in a crowded
street. Marcla passed blin with a con
strained bow.
One day Ned's father fell and was
picked up unconscious. He never
spoke again and died within two days
Ned now became the bead of Kerguson
& Co. and began bis administration of
Its affairs by making a thorough lu
vesication as to Its finances. One rea
son for his overhauling Its accounts
was that ho bad noticed shortly liefore
bis father's death that he had appear
ed worried, and It was suspected that
I lie cause bad brought on the stroke
that had resulted in Ills death. What
was Kdward Kerguson's surprise to
find that bis father had beeu engaged
lu speculations that had caused an
enormous gap lu tho firm's finances.
Had he lived hp would have been
obliged to face a failure within a very
short time.
There was nothing to do but for Ned
to wind up the iiITiiIih of the concern.
Fortunately he was not a member of
the firm and was not loaded with Ha
debts. Hut now, Instead of thirsting
for the power that wealth gives, his
only ambition was to pay the debts
left by his father
While Ned wng awakening from a
dream of wealth, Marcla Totidlck waa
awakening from a dream of poverty.
Her father had at last struck a scheme
that paid him very largely. Ho had
Invented an attachment for an auto
mobile which sooner or Inter all such
machines must have. Ho was selling
the right to use It to all manufactur
ers, and his royalties were already
considerable.
Ned Ferguson bow In tho newspapers
no account of the invention and the
chnngo It made In Mnrclu's affairs.
When ho had written that condescend
ing letter he was rich and ahe was
poor. Now the conditions were revers
ed. He had lost bis fortune and the
udrl bo loved. Ho did not expect a
continuance of tho favors he had re
ceived from any of the wealthy glrla
lie might buve married. They were
ipille sympathetic, but none of them
save him any further encouragement.
One morning Marcla Kosdlck receiv
ed a letter postmarked Ban Francisco.
Withdrawing It from the envelope, she
found two letters. One was from a
lady whom she hud met several times
socially, who said: "The Inclosed has
heen going the rounds of this state for
a long w hile and has finally come un
der my notice. I think It must be In
tended for you. At any rate, 1 send tt
to you."
The moment Marcla saw the address
on the Inclosiire, covered wltb stamped
linger iKilnters. "try tbla" and "try
that place," alio recognised Nod Fer
guson's handwriting.
Ferguson came home one evening
with a heavy heart. Ho had placed
the affairs of Ferguson & Co. In liqui
dation and had offered the family home
for Mitle. He found a letter In the hall
awaiting him and. taking It up. saw
nt once that It wus from Marcla. He
opened It and read It:

Ferguson stood dazed. In an Instant
the fabric be bad built up about his
relations with Marcla l osdlck had col
Inps.sl. lie bad nothing to fear from
her on account of bis condescension In
offering to run rr v her Hut the fact
that be had so considered It csnie
down upon him with sledgehammer
force. Klnirular it Is that, while be
