The Judge lived in a handsome home in the gnburbs of the little ! village of Thorndale. Margaret was left an orphan at an early | age, and the Judge and his wife had taken | her into his house to save her' from thrown upon the charity of the town. They had done théir part we al for her. | They had two children of their own -- twins ~"Alice and Algernon --and Margaret, had | enjoyed every advantage of education in ! common with the hrother and sister, As she grew older, and began to. realize country being how much she owed the judge and his wife, she felt a desire to be able in some way to make them arecompense for their kindness. !'and soon became very useful about the do- mesgic affairs of the household. Mrs, Wal- | Ln ve was a feeble woman, and very willing- She was a strong active girl, ly resigned some of the care and burden to | Margaret, who in due course of time canie to be trusted and depended on, until, by | the time she was two and twenty, she was really the head of the establishment, though Mrs. Wallace still did the in her (quiet, lady-like way, and poured the tea and coffee at the héad of the table, Alice had married early and gone to the | far west with her husband: honors Algernon was | finishing his studies at a German univer- { sity, and only the judge and his wife and | Margaret besides , the man and * woman servant, who had been' with them for years were left at home.

He wanted i to leave the place totally free and from debt to his son Algernon. | The strictest economy had been prac- i tised for years.in the household with this | endiin view, and at last the judge held in his hands the money with which to liqui- date the claim. It was late one Saturday night when he brought it home, and said to his wife, as he swung the little black leather trunk con- | taining it before her eyes: " Well, Annie, at last we are to be free from debt! There are eight thousand dol- lars in' that trunk, and on Monday I shall | pay Jones in full, and we will burn that abominable niortgage together; you and I, Tt will be the happiest day of my had encumbered the clear Annie. life!" "But if anything should happen, Wil- lam?" said Mrs. Wallace, put themoney in some safe place! nervously, "Do It has cost us dear enough to scrape it together." | The judge bent down and patted the anxious litfle woman on the head.

Margaret was sitting in the room, damn- ing the judge's stockings when this con- versation took place, and heard where the money was to be placéd, | though at the same time she gave little heed to it. The next day John and Sarah, the two | servants? had a holiday to visit a married daughter of theirs, who resided fifteen or | twenty miles away, and as it was in No- vember, -and the days were short, they wonld not return until Monday night. And sometime after they set out there caine an imperative message for the judge | | from his only sister--saying that she was | | sick and desired to see him without delay. | | Her home was in Shelby, eight or ten | miles off, and of course the judge lost no | time in obeying the summons. He took his 'wife with him, leaving Margaret' alone in the house, After they were seated in tho carriage, | the judge stopped to say: "" It is barely possible, Margaret, that we | shall remain all night. It looks very much | f like a storm, and in that cade we shall cer- | | ainly stay. And if so you had better get | | Sallie Turner to come over and stay with | you for company. |. But though Margaret would have liked Sallie's company well enongh; she at once decided not to ask for it, for if she did so, { she knew that Sallie's brother, Willis, | she saw of Willis Turner the better she | was pleased. Willis was an honest, indus- | trious sort of fellow, and he was Marga- | ret's most devoted adnirer, but, with the | usual iriconsistency of her sex, she utterly | refused to see what was best for her.
