SIBIL "" Sybil stood still behind the lanreliftrasb.es an the garden of the old homestead, which eke had inherited with the rest of her'largo fortune, and her heart turned 'to ico within Iher bosom. A moment before she had been tho hap piest of beings, sure as shewns of 'do ador ation of tho man she lovedas only women of her ardent temporament can love. Kbw flhelistencd to his voice comevto her through tho glossy laurel leaves, and' heard these Tvords: "I lovo you, Eose, I lovo you. I havo fought against it, bat I havo no power to resist my emotions. Whyarewou so cruel?" It -was to her cousin Ro?e that Frank Aubury spoke, and Hose answtred: "It is only that you startled" mo so. I thought you camo to see Cousin Sybil. I believe she considers you engaged to her. I have always thought youwere."' "Have you?" said Frank Anbury. "Well, I will tell the simple truth; that would bavo happened if T had not met you. I'm. very fond of her yet in a brotherly sort of -way, you know. She's awfully good, and ler fortune is not to bo forgotten. But I t orship yon; I am. as much in lovo with you as a man can be with a woman. Yes, if you. had not come I should havo married Sybil. But you did come." Sybil turned softly away, thinking how much trouble she had taken to coax her cousin Rose to come to visit her in quiet old Parkertown, thinking that it was all her own fault that sho had been thrown in Frank Anbury's way. Frank was very handsome, and Rose had en occupation for her idle hours. Sho hud ltnown that he was Sybil s lovor; that if not engaged thoy understood each other; and she had deliberately gone to work to rob her of his heart. Deliberately. Sho had seen it, too, and had trusted him. Per fect lovo had cast out jealousy. Sho had fancied that Rose might amuse herself "without harming her. "Idiot!" sho said to herself. "Ah, we pay as dearly for our folly as for our crimes." And then a stern rotolvo pos sessed her. Suffor as sho might, no ono should know it. Sho would take the mat tor into her own hands. That evening sho had a conversation -with Frank Anbury which scut him from her with bis blood boiling. IIo was ready to jilt her, but ho was not aa ready to bo jilted. That is quite another thing. "I'vo been wrong, Ithink," she had said, "to let you fancy that I might bo Avon. I liavo hnd a fit cf romorao about it. I shall never marry a men who cannot give mo position. At first I thought, you would bo able to do that, but yon seem content to stay whero you am. I like you as n brother, but no more, and ao shall bo friends, sliall wo not?" She acted well, and she made him feci as eho desired thaC ho should, and afterward phe talked to Rose. "Do you know why I sent for you?" sho said. "I wautcd to find a wifo for Frank Aubury. Ho fanoicd he liked me and. I bad encouraged him, but it would never do. 1 am five-and-twonty. I want a man of position. I fauoy that I should bo un Jiappy if my husband wcreoot somebody." "Heaven forgive me for 1 elliujpnich Los," cho said in the quiet moments afterward when sho was alono with her great agony; "but I liave saved my pride." Rose was mam.sd from her cousin's louse, and Sj bd tnrcw rico. after them as thoy stopped into tho carriage, ancLske was gayest of all tho gay psirty, and iair present to the bride was the h: Jidfbmest; bnt that xJght whenhe bid tho hist guest adieu sho felt that her liGine was desolate. Parents or sisters sho had none; an oudy brother lived iu Franco and had a largo family about him. This Ixsaut iful home was hei a, and horeshe had hoped to dwell with her husband, for her fortune was large, and pho asked nothing lotter than to bestow it upon him. Without him it would bo as lonely as-har life, which seemed empty of all love forever. For a year sho hcaid nothing, of Rose; then a letter came to her askingfor a little loan. "Frank lias boon speculating," she added "losing, of course lie aiways loses and I havon'r a gown to my back." Tho inotloy wan sonfc. 2ubro letters followed uioro so called o-ns. Rose navor attempted to return them. In each was -some complaint of Frank. A last a more than usually doleful mis give came. It beguu thus: Da.vu Sitiuv-You ivftDy are tho only friend I h.iem thovrortd. Frank is so cross that 1 can't Jiave a man calL He is jealous 1" I speak a ord lo an old acquaintuce. and as for women, my wardrobo is too empty to tnalco calls or receive thean. Such tea powns as they wear now, too and that styto is so becoming to mo! I havo a dreadful littlo baby that does nothing but yell, and no nursemaid. You know ou which sido your bread Yrat buttered when you shipped Frauk cS on we a jealous bear, without sense enough lo niaio a decent income I do wish Td never couso to pay you that, visit. I might havo had a :man with half a nuihou, he iust camo into it last veelc IIo had only doubtful expectations when I jilted him, of course. .Vnd Frank had crpecta tions. too. They have nzzled out. I"m tho mot wretched wtmiaa alive ' Do send me soaicth.ng out of chantv. We have a. Vienna roll and an oyster in the house, and no credit and no money. Ohj I forgot to tell youl Frank broke his leg a week ago. Ue"d been taking too much drink and ihnd himself brought home. AVny he didn't go to an hospital I can't think. Pity poor little me. I have to nui him and that aw f ul baby, too. Tourjinfortuoato Cos&is Hose In half an hour more Sybil was on her way to her cousin's home; She hardly inew Rose, slovenly, discontented and dis heartened as ho was. As for Frank, he Jay upon a couch, unshaven and unshorn, and cursed his fate. The rooms were mean, but toocxpen siycly furnished, their condition what Rose bad described it. And Frank Before Sybil had been in the house an hour a great joy possessed her. She breathed deep breaths and smiled as she had not smiled for years, for she niadn the discovery that her love for Frank was a thing of tho dead past; that this senti ment vhich sho had nourished in her bosom Tn her lonely country home was a sheer iuHt, born of his handsome face and vrinnisg ways, la this uncomfortable h.omo his true character camo out quite plainly.

SoKo had a pcricct wardrobe the haby all it needed. Frank, in a charming cashmsra dressing gown, with tho attention of a hair dre-ser, whe handsome (Jnco.niore, and was gcod enough to call Sybil their guardian angel. A little girl was hired to assist in the ccro of the poor hsby, and Rose, in her new dress, was perpetually going out to call, to walk, to shop. Sj'bil kept her purso full, and Irani; besought his cousin to stay to road to him, to sing to him. They had a little upright piano which Rose never touched. She did all ho asked, and every hour deepened her thankfulness that she was not his wife, and addgd to her disgust for his contemptible character. Moreover, she exerted herself among some f nonda she had, and obtained for her cousin's husband a position which he could fill as boon as his health permitted. Sho was very am.ipua to return home anxious to begin to ho happy again, as she could not be whjro these two unfortunate people quarreled perpetually; but she re solved not to leave them until her duty -n as done. Of the climax" that approached she did not guess. It came like a thunder clap. One day as she wss sitting near the win dow with the baby in her lap Rose stay ing unusually long abroad that day a messenger boy brought a note to the door. Ho ga. e it to Frank, who opened it, read it and uttered a furious oath. "Read it," he said. Sybil caught the paper that he flung to ward her. It bore these words: I am off. I don't go atone. There are people Tt-ho tbiatc me as clmrmiiis sis ever I shall bo in Europe, and living where j ou caa t Hud iae before j ou are able to hobble about. How horridly ou havo used m: ' How I detest you ! I hop 1 shall never see your faca again i.

Good-by, forever. Thaai goodness : Rose "And I am not able to follow her to kill them both," gasped Frank. "Oh, my God!" and ho wept with rage and shame. Knowing all sho knew, Sybil found it hard to pity him. Still when afterward he asked her if she would take the child under her care she said "yes" for the baby's sake. - Two years after this Frank Aubury went slowly up the path that led to that "pretty homestead on the hill, where bahind the laurels Sybil had listened to his words to her cousin Rose. That was not yet five years ago, bnt ten should not hive changed him so. Ee was thin and worn and limped a little, and his skin wis gray, and the look of a man who was dissatisfied with life was in his eyes. He thought how com fortable all this was as he entered the bread, well furnished hall, and was shown into the wide parlor in which Sybil sat readinx: to a nrettv little girl. "Wichita, Kansas.

"Kiss your father, my dear. That is tho proper thing, I suppose;" but the child was shy and ran out of the room calling to her nurse. 'I deserve it," said he. "I never even named her. "What do you call her?" "Frank," said Sybil; "Frances she was christened." "I'm glad it was not Rose," said he. "Rose is dead, Sybil. She sent fcr me to come to her. She died in a hospital a mere wreck." There was silence; then he said: "Sybil, you were my first love, and I have never ceased to lovo you. Rose be witched me, but I repented before our honeymoon was over. Sybil, I love you still. Can't you let tho past die out of memory9 I I'm not so bad a fellow as you think." Sybil looked at him gravely. "Stop!" she said. "Long ago when you had made love to me very ardently I came to like you. I heard you talking to Rose behind tho laurels, and I took my love by the threat and strangled it; and now look this is my engagement ring. I am to be married to-morrow to one I not only love, but esteem, and all memory of the past sorrow is blotted out. You did not make my poor cousin happy, Frank; you drove her to her fate. She saved mc from much sorrow when she, as you say, bewitched you." There was a pause. "I hope you are getting on well," Sybil Eaid, after a while. "Oh, yes," he answered, "if drudgery for bread and butter fills the bill." Then he arose. "Good-by," he said. They did not shake hands tius time, and neither Sybil nor his little girl ever saw Frank Aubury again. Toronto MaiL Talse Philanthropy. It is one of the strange inconsistencies of human nature that men preier to do good through the medium of benevolence rather than through that of justice. It is not un common to find the seller exerting every energy . j get more than a fair price for his goods, and the buyer putting forth equal atforts to obtain them for less than their true value, and yet both subsequently unit ing to found socio charitable institution, to uphold a. church, to promote a reiorm, to relieve distress. There are men who will grind the faces of the poor in the morning in their busi ness and in the afternoon subscribe a good round sum to provide them with food and shelter. There are women, both wealthy and of moderate means, who will drive a tharp and hard bargain and will give only the smallest possible sum to those whom they employ to work for them, yet who will willingly give far more than they thus save when a tale of distress arouses their syrapathies and excites their pity.
