with d.fHcu'.ty to our secluded
corner. But the; waj no hope;
bLe must go. SI.e rose, and I fancied a

as the turned to me and deposited her
bouquet a magniC.-cnt collection of or
chids in my bund.
"Keep it until I return," she whisp
ered. "If I surrire this waltz I will be
back here; so doa't go away. "
My eyes met hers; I smiled and nod
ded and then ehe w as gone. And all at
ouce it occurred to me how dark and
dreary the place had grown what a dull
(flair the Cian.r tuu ball had become and
.iow I missed Kitty Hathaway.
And then something else occurred to
tat also something that came crushing
down upon ni with sudden force,
nearly depriving me of my senses. I
a cko all at once to the fact that I loved
lier I, Alun Gordon, who had long
looked upon one i.ud marriage as a re
mote contingency all accident which
must be.'ali me sometime, but not now.
Oh, no!
I was my ou master; a fortune of
half a million bud fallen to me a year
ago, and I was quite alone in the world
save for my mother. She had given up
the hope of my falling in love, for not
the slightest fancy had ever troubled the
peaceful aters of my existence. But I
was awake at l;iet to the knowledge that
v hile I had been dreaming love had
Etolen in at the door of ray heart, and I
nreused myself to a realization of tho
truth when it was too late to bar the in
truder out
While I sat there with Kitty's orchids
n my hands, my eyes dreamiiy watched
the noatiog w nius-rubea figure she was
i.ll in white, a fleecy, gauzy, diaphanous
material striped with silver threads
and occasionally intercepting a sly glance
from her merry brown eyes from over
her partner's shoulder, Mrs. Crampton,
with her daughter Clara in tow, made
her way with difficulty to my side.
"Dear me, Alan, what a place to sit,
o be sure!1 Mrs. Crampton had known
me all my life, and always addreesed me
by my given came. "You have not met
Clara since her return from school. My
iVur," with a swift glance into Miss
Claras face, "this is your old school
male and playfellow, Alan Gordon. You
me five years her senior, Alan. Now I
riu going to leave you two to renew old
friendbbip, while I go to Mrs. Marcy,
yonder. I declare, the old lady is look'
lug fnint ac.l i,;:"
"No wodJt; the atmosphere is sti
r.ipR," I thought, as I made way for
:.: Clam, who panic into the seat at my
tiiln which Kitty had vacated.
A (lender, painfully slender, young
l.idy was Miss Clara Crampton, with pale
l.l'ia eyes tied pule yellow hair, and an
air of languor.

i;;ilvi'V"
I had started up with an involuntary
exclamation which I could not repress,
bid the girl know or care that ehe
was dritiug me ma J? And just at that
instant, with a broken wail, the musi:
die! into silence. I arose to my feet j
"Faroen me, Mies t-rampton, - i oegan,
striving hard to be calm and courteous, ;
"I have Miss Hatha way's orchids and i
must return them t her. Orchids are
too valuable to be lightly thrown away." j
Mies Clara bowed, but there was a look
of displeasure upon her thin fsce.
I made my war slowly from the ee-
eluded niche back to the ball-room to
Kil'y Hathaway 'a side. I laid the orchids ,
in her hand. I
'They are too valuable to lose," I sug- j
gested. j
"They are hideous!" ehe cried, tossing
them uton a table. "I never could un
derstand the beauty of an orchid any j
more than I can appreciate the beauty of j
a minhroom. But Mr. O ranger sent
them, and I"
I bowed. I
"I understand. lis is the last favored ,
suitor," I cut in, harshly, j
Kitty lifted her eyes to my face again j
with that same indignant glance, but ;
full of pathos too.
'Will you get my cloak?" she asked
softly "and please And mamma. I:
think I shall go home.
With secret satisfaction I obeyed her,
and when the carriage had driven away i
rent back to bl 1 the hostess good night
and took my departure also.
I had made up my mind to ask Kitty i
Hathaway to be my wife. 1 loved her. ;
Good heavers! of what had I been think-'
ing all time months, not to have found i
out the truth before? I
I rang the bell at the pretty little horns 1
of the Hathaways the next evening.
Kitty and her mother lived in a retired 1
street, in a neat cottage which, with
small income, constituted their entire :
wealth. I
Kite came into the cosy parlor where I ,
awaited her. She was all in black, and
her face w as very pale. I arose and took j
her hand in mine at once. I would make
no prelude or preparation, but would go i
directly to the point.
"Kitty," I whispered, "I have come'
to sr,k yon to be my wife. I think I have ,
always love I you. Kitty, Kitty, what is ,
your answer?" ,
The sweet, pale face drooped. j
"I I am sorry," she murmured faintly !
"but I I can not. " All tuy pride was up ;
in arms in a moment.
"You refuse me, then?" I cried bit-1
tcrly. "And oh, how I love you, Kittyl"
Sue was trembling like a leaf, but she
turned away with calm composure. I
snatched up my hat and turned to the
door, angry, burt, my pride stung.
"Good by!" I cried wildly. "I hope I
may never see you again I You are a
Cirt, and not w orthy a good man's love!"
and I dashed out of the house like a
madman, and went home to my own
rooms and locked myself in, alone with
tuy dreary thoughts.
The next day I started on a journey,
deciding to make a tour of the far West
visit California, Colorado and explore
the Rocky Mountains. Time passed and
I found myself so occupied and inter
ested with the strange sights and new
scenes whither my unquiet spirit led me
that the wound in my heart began to
heal. In the meantime I had kept up a
correspondence with Clara Crampton.
How I had drifted into it lean hardly
say, but I found her a peasant, chatty
writer, and was glad to receive her let
ters. I had just replied to a long epistle,
when news connected with some real
estate of mine at home made me de
cide to return, and I started upon the
very next train for the East.
I found my mother well, and having
attended to ray business, turned my steps
in the direction of the Crampton man
sion. I rang the hell and was ushered
into a small reception-room, which was!
separated from Mibs Clara a boudoir by
hoary azure velvet portieres. I seated
myself to await Miss Clara's coming. I
learned efterm ard that the servant was
new and untrained, and having shown
me into the reception-room, straitway
forgot to announce my arrival to the
ladies. And sitting there, my presence
unsuspected, I heard these words:
"Mamma" it was Clara Crampton's
voice "do you think that he will ever
propose? Alan Gordon, I mean, of
course. Whom else have I been ang
ling for ever since that night when I
told him that Kit Hathaway had de
termined to marry a fortune? And then,
you know, I made Kit believe that he
had told me didn't I ever tell you about
it? that he would never marry a girl
without a fortune, and, above all, a girl
who loves to flirt. In short, I made her
believe that he was only amusing him
self with her, and Kit is horribly proud,
you know, so that accounts for Gordon
going away so suddenly. I am deter
mined to be Mrs. Alan Gordon myself,
for he is worth half a million or more. "
I started to my fset in utter consterna
tion, and then the strangest thing oc
curred. Out from the embrasure of the
long window at the other end of the
room, where she had sat hidden from
my view by the heavy window curtains,
came Kitty Hathaway. She had also
Uen a victim to the blundering servant,
and we two caged there together had
heard our own story with all the wrong
set right.
I put out both hands with a swift
glance towards the portieres a glauca
which Kitty interpreted to mean silence.
She laid lior white hands in mine, and
without a word I stooped and kissed her.
At that very moment Miss Clara swept
aside the portieres, falling back with a
stifled shriek as her eyes fell upon tho
scene.
"Miss Kitty is my promised wife, Miss
Crampton," I said quietly, "and we
thank you from the bottom of our hearts
for having set right the wrong that your
own liands have wrought. "
Kitty has been my dear wife for many
a long day, but we will neither of us ever
forget the look of defeat, the horror, the
consternation which rented upon Clara

j work, and it was right that she should

The Republicans are already raising
t'le cry that General Harrison is "a sol

on a sentimental appeal to the war spirit
would be a novelty indeed. How easy
it is to arouse military enthusiasm in
this country is shown by the fact that

The revelation that the newly appoint

undeserving the president's attention.
