Somo years atro I stood mitRinB on

inontiis tnero with my titiele, who re
quired change for hia health.
1 lirotit'li tlio window 1 saw niv uu-
e, Lucius Trevor, reelinintr In an nrin-
chair before tho Htnoulilorirg logs upon
mo neat tn. iiio attituuo nt renoac.

artcd in a ceuial smile, ilatlv contra-
iicttii tno coinnarison. and eft no
loubt as to the character of tho pood
old iivntleman.
'I'm glad you'vo como in," lie com-
enoeil, us I silt down. "Uvril. mv

"My old aire. Cviil. and failinc

pity to let tho family dio out. You
ought to marry, Cyril." Up went tbo

ith mine. J,veu tlio tirosnect of an
heir was not Biillicient to lessen tho dis

feminine gender. Allowing that (he
sentiment was unnatural in a vomit;
man, it certainly increased in exact

Ono evening, on coining homo in a
mora dejected mood than usual I was
greeted with a volloy of chuckles that
must havo been the death of any other

"Vou seem merry, sir,'' I remarked,
crossly, throwing down my hat.

his head fearfully. "I think you need

"I'm well enough, sir. But all

myself at Mine. B 's. The rooms

old, H mv face betrayed my secret

She blushed and looked down, with
all tho charm of modesty that had
captivaled mo that very first day I had
seen her at the pool. This iunate
modesty was part of her nature, insep
arable as herself, as exquisite, alas, as
it has become rare.
Then I told her that my uncle was
indeed worse, and thought his end ap
proaching. I added that his only re
maining wish on earth was our mar
