When a man has buttled with poverty 11 his life, fearing it as he fought it, feeling for the skinny throat to throttle it, and yet dreading all the voile the coming of the time when it would gain the mastery and throstle him when nch man is told that he is rich, it might be imagined he would receive the announcement with hilarity. When Richard Denham realized that he was wealthy he became even more sobered than nsnal, and drew a long breath as if be had been running a race and had won it. The man who brought him the news had no idea he had told Denham any thing noreL He merely happened to ay, "You are a rich man. Sir. Denham. and will nerer uiisa it." Denham had never before been called rich man, and np to that moment he had not thourlit of himself as wealthr. Be wrote out the check asked of him, and hi visitor departed gratefully, leav ing the merchant with something to ponder over. He was as surprised with the suddenness of the thing as if some one had left him a legacy. Yet the money was all his own accumulating, but his struggle had been so long, and be had been so hopeless about it, that from mere habit he exerted all his ener gies long after the enemy was overcome just as the troops at New Orleans fought fierce battle not knowing the war was over. He had sprung from nch a hopelessly poor family. Poverty nM tne raver. tine w.thtniy worn An In the world with whom he was on peaking terms, and he knew her merely because her light and nimble fingers played the business sonata of one note on bis office typewriter. Mlas dale was pretty of course all typewriter girls Are and it was generally understood in the office that aim belonged to good family who had come down in the world. Her somewhat Independent air deepened this conviction and kept the clerks at dis tance. She was a sensible girl, who re slued that the typewriter paid better than the piano, and accordingly turned the expertness of her wnite lingers to the former instrument, Richard Denham at down upon a park bench. "Why notT he asked himself. There was no reaaou against It except that he had not the courage. Nevertheless he formed desperate resolution. Next day bnsiness went on as nsual Letters were answered and the time ar rived when Miss Gale came into see if he had any further commands that day, Deuhaui hesitated. He felt vaguely that a business office was not the proper place rora proposal, yet he knew that he would be at a disadvantage anywhere else. In th'i first place, he had no plausible ex cuse for calling upon the young woman at home, and in the second place, he knew if he once got there he would be i stricken dumb. It most either be at bis office or nowhere. Sit down a moment. Miss Gale," he ! said at last; "1 wanted to consult you j about a matter about business mat- . tr."

It was the invariable legacy that father had left to son in the Denham family. All had accepted their lot with uncom plaining resignation, until Richard re solved he would at least have a fight for it And now the fight has been won. Denham sat in his office staring at the dingy wall paper so long that Rogers the chief clerk, put his bead in and said in a deferential voice: "Anything more tonight Mr. Den ham?" Denham started as if that question in that tone had not been asked him every night for years. , "What's that, what's that?" he cried. I Rogers was astonished, but too well trained to show it "Anything more tonight, Mr. Denham?" ' "Ah, quite so. yon, nothing more. I "Good night. Mr. Denham." "Eh? Oh. yes. Good night, Rogers, good night" i When Mr. Denham left his office and went out into the street everything had tut unusual appearance to him. He walkd along, unheeding the direction. He looked at the fine residences and real ized that he might have a fine residence if he wanted it. He saw handsome car riages; he, too, might set np an equipage. The satisfaction these thoughts produced was brief. Of what use would a tine house tr an elegant carriage be to him? He knew no one to invite to the house or to ride with him in the carriage. He be gan to realize how utterly alone in the world he was. He had no friends, no acquaintances even. The running dog, with its nose to the ground, sees nothing of the surrounding scenery. He knew men in a business way of course, and doubtless each of them had a home in the suburbs somewhere, but he could not take a business man by the shoulders and say to him: "Invite me to your house. I am lonesome; 1 want to know your people." If he got such an invitation he would ' not know what to do with himself. He was ftCailiar with the counting room and iU langnago, bnt the drawing room was an unexplored country to bim, where an unknown tongue was spoken. On the road to wealth he had missed omething, and it was now too late to go back for it Only the day before he had heard one of the clerks, who did not know he was within earshot, allude to him an "the old man." He felt as young as ever be did, but the phrase so lightly spoken made him catch his breath. As he was now walking through the park and away from the busy streets he took off liia hat and ran his fingers through his grizzled hair, looking at his hand when he did so as if the gray, like wet paint, had come off. He thought of girl he knew once, who perhaps would have married him if he had asked her, as he was tempted to do. Hut that bad always been a miutake of the Denhams. They had all married young except him self and so sunk deeper into the mire of poverty, preased down by a rapidly in creasing progeny. The girl had married baker, be remembered. Yes, that was s long time ago. The clerk was not fur ' V- I J L - i .in, ui uou i wutn any capital, i have enough for both. And the business iis very prosperous. Miss Uale and and has been." 1 The youug woman raised bcr eyebrows In surprise. , "Yon surely dont intend to share the profits with a partner who brings no capital into the business?" "Yes yes, I do Yon see, as 1 said. I have no need for more capital." "Oh. if that is the civso. I think yon should consult Mr Rogers before you commit yourself." "But Rogers wouldn't understand." i "I'm afraid I don't understand either It seems to me a foolish thing to do that is. if you want my advice." i "Ob. yes. I want it tint it isn't as , foolish as you think. I should have had ! a partner long ago. That la where I I re made np my asked I tin. bleeai yon. no," answered Mr. i Denham with evident trepidation, j The young woman said to herself: "lie : doean t want Mr Rogers to know, and ' no wonder It's a most unbusinesslike I proposal." Then she asul aloud. "Shall yon want ! me again today?" "No, Miss Oale. and thank yon very I much." Next moming Miss Oale came into ' Mr Denham ' office with a smile on ber I face.
