    THE STORY OF AN ORPHAN UIRL.
Mattie's story was simple enough. The
oruhan aitl of a former servant in a
realthy family, Mattie had shared the
lessons and the play of the younger
daughter of the house, until a time came
- -when it was convenient to turn ine num
ble companion adrift to work for herself.
It may have been a pieee of ill-luck his
neighbors ascribed to Drew, that it
should have been to his farm the girl
came as help to his sister, or it may have
been a piece of his good nature that
vnrt him acrree to take under his roof
this pretty lass, untrained for service and
edmcated far above her station.
. Drew's widowed sister, Mrs. Banks,
who lived with him, and whose child it
was Mattie had come to nurse, amongst
other duties too numerous to mention,
for there was but one servant kept
Drew's sister exclaimed in despair when
the farmer brought home the young,
ladylike, delicate-looking girl:
"We want a strong, hard-working lass!
This one doesn't know her right hand
from her left. She is as good as a lady,
or as bad, and has never milked a cow in
her life! What were you thinking of to
bring her here?"
Ah! that's my luck; well, we must do
the best we can with her. If the stew
ard had never mentioned her to me now
but then he did mention her, and here
she i3."
There she was, and there she stayed,
apt to learn, willing to be taught, grate
ful for tho real kindness she met with.
Mattie was soon the best hand at milk
ing for miles around, and soon devoted
to baby. Three years passed quiot!y,
and then came the romance of Mattis's
life.
She was twenty that summer. Adam
Armitage, a grave man, was fully ten
.years her senior. A great traveler, a
member of the world-renowned scientific
society, a student and a discoverer he
was between two scientific expeditions,
refreshing heart and brain by a walking
tour through the home countries.
Adam's walking tour ended at the farm
Drew had taken only a year before, and
the dwelling-honse it had been found
more convenient to inhabit than the
smaller building on the old land clos9to
the road. Mr. Armitage found the pure
air of the dons good for him. He made
friends with all the family. To Mattie
it was delightful to meet once more
some one with all the tricks and manner
of the more refined society among which
her youth had been passed. Little
Harry followed his new friend wherever
he went. Harry's mother called him a
right down pleasant gentleman. The
farmer called him a good mau. ,
They all missed him when he went
away, 'Mattie most of all; but the next
summer found him there again, a wel
come old friend this time, and no
stranger.
Drew, a keen observer of all that went
- uu uruuuu mm, was uui su uiucu iut.c li
bv surprise as his sister was when one
day toward the end of this second visit
Adam and Mattie were both mysterious
ly missing. A strong-armed lass made
her appearance before night. She was
. the bearer of a note from Mattie confess
ing that she and Mr. Armitage were mar
ried, and hoping the servant sent might
supply her place, so that no one would
be inconvenienced.
Drew might shake his head and look
thoughtful, but Mr. Armitaere was his
own master, and it was not the first time
a gentleman had married a country lass.
Besides the deed was done and past re
call. They had gone quietly to one of
the churches in the town, and from
whence the sound of bells floated up to
the farm, and had been married by
special license. Adam had taten a lodg
ing for his bride, and there they passed
one brief, bright week of happme3s.then
one morning they walked quietly back
together, Mattie blushing and smiling,
and looking so lovely ana ladylike in a
simple dress that she used to wear before
she came to the farm that they hardly
knew her.
Adam explained that he meant to leave
his wife for two days no more in care
of her old friend, at the end of that time
he would return and fetch her. There
were arrangements to make with regard
to the scientific expedition about to
start immediately. It wo aid sail with
out him now, but it behooved him to do
his best that his place should be as well
filled as it might be. There was also,
hi3 mother to see, and prepare for receiv
ing Mattie.
Mattie walked a little way with her
husband and the farmer, along the
breezy uplands, and then Adam sent her
back, and hastened his own steps in the
direction of the little station at the foot
of the downs. When he came ag?in, he
said, laughing, it would be from B
station, and that he would drive in a lly
through the Stonedene gate along the
track, the only approach to a carriage
road leading to the farm.
Mattie went away smiling, as he meant
she should do, and only paused now and
then to look alter the two men as long
as they remained in sight. It was
natural that she should feel a little afraid
of this unknown lady, Adam's mother,
but that fear was the only shadow on
Mattie's path. It was an idyl, a poem,
as true a love story as the world has
seen, had written itself here in thi3 out-of-the
way spot on the lonely Sussex
. Downs.
On the third day they might look for
Adam to return, but that day passed and
many another, until the days were weeks
the weeks months, and he neither
came nor wrote. Mattie remembered
how when she had turned to look back
for tho last time upon that homeward
walk she had seen his figure distinct
against the sky for an instant, and in the
next lost it entirely as he passed out of
sight over the swelling lines of hills.
J ust so she seemed to have lost him in
one instant of her life. And yet she
never lost faith and trust in him never
ceased to watch for his coming again.
Drew, after a time, either goaded to
the step by his sister's loud-voiced argu
ments, or prompted to it by his own
sense of what was due to Mattie, not
only took pains 'to ascertain that tho
marriage was real enough, but the fur
ther pains of searching for and finding
the address of .Adam Armitage of Lon
don. It was strange how this girl and
her former master both trusted Adam in
the face of his inexplicable silence; iu
the face of even a more ominous discov
ery that he had never mentioned Mattie's
name to his mother, or alluded to Mattie i of
at all. As for Adam. Mrs. Armitaere had I
declared he was not with her then, that
she could not give an address that would
find him, an assertion that conhrmed
Mattie in the idea that he had so often
spoken to her. 1
As autumn passed ana tne evenings
grew chill with the breath of the coming
winter. Mattie s health seemed to fail.
The deep melancholy that oppressed her
threatened to break tne springs of life.
In order to escape Mrs,1 Banks tho girl
took to lonely wanderings over the
downs; wanderings that ended always at
stonedene; until, witn tne instinct of a
wounded animal that peeks to bear its
pain alone, or from tho eyer-recollection
of the last words of Adam, when he said
that it was by way of Stonedene that he
would return, she besought the farmer
to send away the woman in charge of tho
house and allow her to take her place.
Drew yielded to the wish of the wife
whose heart was breaking with the pain
of absence and the mystery of silence,
and Mattie, on this foggy day had al
ready lived at Stonedene, on the watch
always for the coming of (Adam.
The fog increased instead of diminish
ed with tho approach of evening. Drew
could not see his own house until he was
close to it; as he had remarked, the mys-
terv of Mattie s affairs was not more im
penetrable than the veil' hiding all nat
ural objects just then,' When he had
put up the horse and gone in to tea, Mrs.
Banks, as she bustled about, preparing
the meal which Mattie s deft little
fingers had been wont to set with so
mtub quietness as well las celerity, did
not fail to greet him with the question:
'Well, how is she? '
"She" had come to mean Mattie in the
vocabulary of the farmer: and his sister.
"About as usual in health. Drew re-
plied, lifting the now five-year old Harry
7 . . 1 . . . 1
to his knee, "but troubled in mind
though to be sure, that is! as usual, to
"She is out of her mind," exclaimed
Mrs. Banks, irritably. VEvery one but
yourself knows that: and if you did not
know it, it is only because you are as
mad as she is or anyone might think
from the way you go on.'f
"Nav. nay." said Drew gently, as the
butter dish was set on the table with a
vehemence that made tho tea cups rattle.
"There are no signs of madness about
Mattie unless you call her trust in her
husband 60 harsh a namei"
"Husband! A pretty husband, indeed
J7ve no patience with jhim; nor you
either. As if it were not a common tale
enough! It would be better to persuade
the girl to come home and get to work
again, tnan to encourage ner in ner
fancies, while you pay another servant
here and times so hard as they are
"I was thinking to-day." the farmer
went on, softly passing his broad palm
over tho blonde head of the cnud upon
his knee. "I wa3 thinking as I came
along as how it stands written; 'He that
loveth not hia brother
whom he hath
seen, bow can he love
God whom he
hath not seen:
At that moment the shadowy form of
some one. going to the front door passed
the window against which! the fog pressed
closely. Drew sat little Harry on his
feet, and rose slowly, listening with in-
tentness and a surprising look that made
his sister ask what ailed him.
"Hover! the dog does not bark. Who
by the mercy of heaven, it is the man
himself!" cried Drew, i as the door
opened with a suddenness that caused
Mrs. Banks to drop the plates upon the
brick floor. For Adam Armitage stood
upon the threshhold. Adam pale and
worn, a shadow of his former self, but
himself unmistakably.
Adam looked around
the room as
though seeking some oneJ
Bmiled in his
old-fashioned way at Harry, gave a half-
curious, half-indifferent glance to
EIiza Banks, as she turned toward the
farmer. i
"Drew," said he simply, "where is my
wife?"
"Mrs. Armitage is waiting for you at
Stonedene. sir. There was some talk of
your coming back that way."
"Waiting?" Adam threw up his hands
with a passionate gesture. "Whit can
she have thought?" i
"She has thought you were gone, after
all, upon that voyage, and that your let
ters miscarried Sometimes she has
thought you were dead, Mr. Armitage,
but never " Drew broke off and held
out his hand. "We knew1 you could ex5
plain what has happened, sir, he con
cluded, j
Adam drew his hand across his eyes
in the way a man might do who has
been lately aroused from) a bad dream,
and has some trouble to collect his
thoughts. j
"That has happened," he said, "which
if it had not befallen me, myself, and be-'
come a part of my own (experience, I
should find it difficult to find it possible.
A strange thing has happened" here
the old smile they remembered so well
broke the light over his face "and yet
a thing not more strange, j as the world
goes, than tliat you I say nothing of
Mattie but that you should have trusted
me throughout. I detected no distrust
in your voice, no doubt in your eyes
not even when they first met mine" just
now. They called mine, a rare
case.

tale as we go." i
"This evening, and in this mist, and
you looking far from well, began Eliza
Banks. "Mattie has waited so long al
ready that one night more will make but
little difference.
"One night, one hour more than I can
help will make all the difference between
willful wrong and a misfortune that has
fallen on 11 alike." i
He would not be dissuaded from set
ting out at once, and in another minute
tho two men were pursuing their way
through the driving mist, jAdam talking
as they went. j
After parting from Mattie he had
taken a train to London, where, arriving
in due course, ho drove in' a cab to his
mother's house in Grosvenor street.
within a few yards of which his cab over
turned, and Adam was thrown out. fall
ing heavily on his head. After a long
interval, however, he opened his eyes
and ''covered consciousness, and.
as he did so slowly at first, but after a
lme more fully tho astounding discov
iry was made that his memory was en
tirely gone, j
However, this state was one from
which, so said his friend3. science could
at will recall him. and the operation
necessary to restore Adim to himself was
deferred only until his health permitted
its being attended by a minimum
risV.
j
It was while
Adam was in the state 1
above described that Drew had seen Mrs.
Armitage. A proud woman, she was ill-
pleased to near that he had married a
farm-servant; for that was the one fact
that, stripped of Drew's panegyrics
upon Mattie s superior education and
refined manners, alone stared her in the
face.
Hastily resolving there was no need to
embitter her own life by an attempt to
recall to her son this ill-fated marriage
sue did not hesitate to deceive the un
welcome visitor. Change of scene had
been ordered for the patient, and before
Drew called at the house in Grosvenor
street for the second time, Adam and his
mother were gone. It was in Paris,
months after that, that the operation was
finally successfully performed, and the
first word of Adam was Mattie's name.
The first effort of his newly recovered
powers was to relate to his mother the
history of his marriage, and to' write to
his wife.
"God grant the suspense has neither
killed nor driven her mad," he ex
claimed. It was to his mother's hand the letter
was confided, and with that exclamation
ringing in her ears, Mrs. Armitage stood
beside the brazier filled with charcoal
and burning in the ante-room of their
apartment in the Champs Elysees. She
was not a bad woman, but the temptation
was too great to allow this affair to un
ravel itself, and what would turn up? If
the girl were dead, why no harm has
nbeen doe, and the terrible mistake of
the son's was rectified at once. If the
other alternatives were to prove true.and
Mattie had lost her senses, Adam would
be free from her, or measures could ba
taken to insure so desirable a result.
Mrs. Armitage tore tho letter into pieces,
I 1 1 A. 1 l!l II. . t
and waited by the brazier until the frag
ments were charred. Adam asked no
awkward question, and was not even sur
prised at receiving no answer to his
epistle, since it had announced his com
ing. The first day his health admitted
of it he set out alone for England.
Such was the story. When Drew told
of his efforts to seek Adam, and had men
tioned that no letter had reached Mattie,
Adam was at a loss to understand the
part his mother had played. But he
never spoke of it then or at any future
time.
The house door at Stonedene stood
ajar; evening naa dosed in now, and the
chilly fog was still abroad,!) ut the figure
at the gate was dimly discernible.
Adam hastened his footsteps.
"For heaven's sake, sir, be careful:
the suddenness of it might turn her
brain," cried Drew, laying a detaining
hand apon the arm of his companion.
Adam gently shook him off.
"Suddenness," he repeated. "Aye, it
is sudden to you and to Mrs. Banks.but
for me and Mattie whose thoughts are
day and night and night and day, full
of each other, how can it be sudden?"
Drew stood still, and Adam went on
alone until his footsteps became audible,
and Mattie turned her head to see him
standing at her side.
Adam had been right. ISio fear was
there for Mattie's brain. AU excitement.
all surprise and wonder came afterward;
at the first supreme moment, and with a
satisfied sigh, as of a child who has got
all it wants, Mattie held out her arms to
him with one word
."Husband!"
As Adam drew her to him it was not
only the mist or the darkening evening
that blinded Drew, so that for a moment
or two he saw neither of them.
People say Drew's luck has turned.
From that day Stonedene found a ten
ant. It is newly done up and prettily
finished now; Mr, and Mrs. Armitage

Advantage or Being: a Farmer.
The Springfield Itepublican thus sums
up the advantages of the farmers' occu
pation:
"There are advantages in oemcr a
farmer that he ought to think of .these
times. His lot may be hard work and
no end of it. but he is the only man in
the countrv who can command safety.
The forehanded farmer has always the
assurance of his living, and it may be a
very good living, while he is equally
sure that what he produces will be
wanted for others. And if times are
hard and prices low. he doesn't have to
shut up Bhop, fold his unwilling hands,
and see his property depreciate in idle
ness, as manv a manufacturer does. H
does not need to venture highly, and if
he makes no brilliant profits he runs no
risks. It is estimated from actual figures
that out of 1000 traders, but eeven can
acquire wealth.
