"Violet," I say, with my heart choking ly beating in my throat. "Yes, Derrick," sho resoonded, with her head sideways, 'Ike a golden canary, and one white hand suspended over her work. "tou Haven't told mo 1 asked you that Is why don t you answer me?' stammered, confused and miserable. "Answer? Oh, yes," with a merry little laugh. "You asked If there, I nearly spoiled that leaf If I loved you, dldn' yon?" "Yes," I reply, awkwardly rumpling the handsome table-cover In my hand, and growing more miserably hopcNss each mo. mcnt. "I well, I there, I have spoiled ill' cries Violet, with a little stamp of Impall ence as she views her work. "And It's all your fault, Derrick Dene I" I shrink miserably in my chair and say nothing. "Hut I guess I can shade It up all right, she continues brightly in just a moment for Violet's temper Is the sunniest in the world. Then for a few minutes she works swift ly, with a pucker In her while forehead, and I awall In silence until, she may choose to speak again. I wish you could sea her as I do nowVand know a fairer, sweeter picture would never gladden your eyes. She wears short black velvet dress, with her rounded, snowy arms bared, and knots of scarlet ribbon on tho short, little sleeves. The daintiest of fancy Swiss aprons protects her velvet lap, and down to her slim little waist falls her hair, golden as sunshine, and carelessly fastened back with a scarlet vet vet baud. Tho warm sunshine fills this, her ow cozy, private little parlor, where I am ail m lit cd on the strength of a friendship that has existed since our early childhood. As for mc, I am one of the 'inluckyoncs, I'm plain, green, awkward and ugly. PcO' pie say J have a good face, hut I havo many times thought that I would exchange with some handsome villain who could how gracefully, talk without blushing, and nev er seem put out with having two hands and two feet to manage. I am twenty-one, though I don't look It, and really appear, for all the world, as if I was about fifteen, I am stud)tng law with Violet's fnlherSvho was an old friend of my father, and ho as sures mo that some day I n 111 make mv mark as a lawyer. I wonder If he knows that I love Violet? She Is only sixteen, but if I just kne that she loved me, I could work like giant to make a name for myself that she might be proud to nccopt In a few years. She speaks suddenly, but not ot, or par- j UcaUrly to rue, "Thcrcl" sho says gayly, "I remedied "Ob, Vloletl" I say, with a sort of half- despairing groaii, at wlifcli she looks at me hurriedly to soo hi wha'. way I njiy ho suf TerlngV then she suddenly recollects! "Well, I declare, Derrick, I am real un- klnd,-am I not? lint It's localise I do dis like t hurt your feelings, You sec, my ?ar boy' There she pauses a moment, and I cringe little Under' tho youthful title and her crown-u'p air of half-patronizing pity. 'The .truth Is," sho continues presently, , I'd as soon think of loving my brother, Derrlok." c "Then you don't love mo at oil?" I cried Ith halt a sob. aj I start to ray feet over come with pain at her words. Sinenses, too. Her lovely face In Its frame of Curling 'gold pales a Utile, and her eyes, from which she takes hernamct droplQ'w. . "No," she saj;s. What wordsvi would saV are chocked suddenly, for from Iter apron pocket falls a pictiire, face upt I look at It and recognize It'ivltFi a startled cry of amazement. -."Vloletl Mr. Clare's picture In your pocket?" "Why not?" she asks, In haughty re sentment, and replacing It with a hand that rrmhlcs Jntt slightly. "Mr. Clare Is a friend of-mine.' "Of yours? Why, Vtdlttt, ho Is twolvo or thirteen years older than you, and he Is " 'Only ten years," sho corrects. "I am nearly seventeen' "DUt he Is a had man a wlrkcd man!" cry, rashly. "Violet, I know him; he " "Leayo the room. Derrick Denel" sho Interrupts, with a scorn and passion that completely amazes me. She looked so like a child in her short dress and flowing liatrj so like an Indignant, woman In her white face, hei flashing eyes, and Imperious manner. Violet 1" I cry, pleadingly, but she re peats: "Leave my room! Wo are no longer friends, Derrick Deuel" I linger for an Instant In deepest despair; hut I know VioInt well. If I would win forgiveness, I must not slay and plead for It now. I look nt her Imploringly for a moment, then snatch my hat and go. Qnco In my own room I throw myself cross my bed in a bewilderment of grief, despair and astonishment, and try to think low Violet had seemed to nie such a child. had watched her from a little child, and tried not to sec that she was growing up. Now sho suddenly soomed a woman, arjd vay beyond me. But It must be anils- take. ' Surely she did not care for WilfrJrd Clare,. He seemed to mo a man old In the .world, though he was only twenty-six. Hut he was wickedly handsome, and had been .In society blnce early boyhood, "busy breaking the tender heart," as he boastlne- ly expressed It. And this loan's face Violet carried, and what villainy might lis not be up to, or schemes to win all the wealth Hint would be hers? -. n 1 Storing up suddenly, and stride furiously about the room with my hands clinched. lint what good do3 It ilo Die? Just a weok rifler this, 1 go to the odlce as usual one moriii'ng, and find everything n the. utmost confusion. "Hallo, Denel'' exclaims one of the clerks. "Heard tho news?" News? No. What news?" I inquire. with a trembling presentment of some trouble or sorrow. -"Tre-MKN-ilous row,"says my Informant, as it It all pleased him. "Mr. Holmes' pretty little girl ran away eloped last night with Wilfonl Clare." I can feel my dry lips move, and vaguely see that tho window Is changing places with the stove. Then I find myself In a chair with water at'.my lips, and hear the clerk's voice: " ' Well, you're what I call pretty near gone. It must strike you near borne; were you In" "Thank you, IVIlton," I Interrupt, after a reviving swallow of water. "I must go there at once, .lias Mr. Holmes been here?" "No. But are you!' I hurry out without waiting for the rest, and In some way, I hardly know how, find my way to the blasted home. I find themthe heart-broken father and weeping aunt, who lias lived there since the mother's death-in Violet's littlo par lor, where I last saw her a week befote. 'Oli, Derrick Dcrrlckl" Aunt Mercy groans, with a fresh sob at the sight of me, and Mr. Holmes lifts his .gray head for a moment, then drops It again In silent an guish. Whal can I do? I stand silent in the faco of such sorrow, and absently look about the room her room. There Is the dainty basket of fancy col orcd wools, standing as it stood before; there is her pretty chair nnd little footstool, and tlfere, on the table, is the very sketch she was working on; a cluster of roses and ferns. Where I sat then,Mr. Holmes sits or ra:I(er crouches, now, and Aunt Mercy comes across the room, and sobblngly hands me a little note. I read it with hot miserable eyes. 'Dahmko Papa avd aunt Meiicv, riease forgive me for deceiving you, but I am not going lo the party, and stay with Nettie to-nlgbt, as you think. Instead, I am going to bo married. You will not come Into my room and find this until to morrow morning, and then I will bo ll'll ford's wife, and far away from here. Do no grieve, for oh, I am so happy; we love each other so, and he says that you would have made mo wait four ot five years. I could not do that. Good-bye, and do not bo angry with me. Violet." I lay It down, speechless, and Mr. Holmes suddenly exclaims: "He has done It for her money, the vil lain! Ho has mado her Ills wife, otherwise I would hunt and shoot him In his tracks I found the clergyman this morning who married them last night at nlneo'clock, and I know it Is legal, Now he may whistle for her money." I try to say something to each, but com fort was not to be given, so at last I go away, crushed, stunned and feeling dead to any further life or ambition, and 1 take with me that little unfinished sketch of Ylolct's. That was eighteen years ago. I have uever married. t To-day I stand vo the v etgt of forty, and as inconsistent in looks ns when young, lodk to be about thirty. 1 am handsome. I admit It, without blushing; In fact, I , never blush nowadays, nnd I hare long since learned how to manage? my hands and feet with consummate case. In society I am sought for and called a wonderfully polished and elegant gentleman, but be ween you and me, I think Hut is princi pally due to my being free, and having some hundred or so thousands 'or n.y wile wlunevcr I may find Ucrlo spend. It ically Is amazing how two such little facts will increase a man's popularity I believe I am heartless and flirt a little -people say sk At any rate I hare ticyrr lovod another woman, but plenty have ntada believe that they loved ms, a,id I couldn't help but be amused, could I? For a long while afterthat grief I leemrC to be wholly crushed, but at last began to work again In sheer desperation. I made rapid strides, and when, ten ycirs ago.Mr. Holmes died, I stepped right Into hit place, and practice, arid have ad vanned hourly silica ii OB1 Violet I never hoard but orieo, an 1 then only I list, site was living with her hus band In some distant city. To-day I am swaying Idly In a hammock tinder thc.trees at tho beautiful home of a professional friend, He and lilt wife ia,Ve just left me, and so I rock Idly, too lazy to smoke, and drowsily thinking how hot It Is, when I hear slow steps somewhere near me. Raising a little on one elbow, I sco a woman coming across the grass wlh a weary step and carrying a large bundle. Her face Is Veiled, and she It tall and very slight, and dressed III plain black. I watch her with a curious sort of Interest) until she hat crossed the entire lawn and disap peared around the entlro house; then I lay down again and still think of her drowilly. I think I must have dropped into a doze, and have no Idea how long I remained so. but I suddenly awakened at hearing a moan, and started tip jut In time to see '.ho same womau, burdened with another bundle, sink down on the grass, not twenty feet lrom mc. It Is not an instant hardly until I am be side her, and lifting Iter, at which her hat and veil fall off, and 1 see a face most dead ly pale, nnd with closed eyes, aud shining, golden hair bound plainly back, but break ing rcbelllously Into little waves and ripples about the white forehead. I give one gasp and strain her closely In my arms, arid then begin to call her name In an almost Incoherent way: "Vloletl Violet! Violet!" She heard aud moved In my arms, then I hear my own name: "Derrick! oh, Derrick!" Can I bellevo the Intense joy that thrills that beloved voice. I think I must bo nearly wild, and kiss her rapturously. Weakly, but at mice, the starts away from nm; then I remember with crushing suddenness, mid speak my thoughts "Violet, you aro so. weak that you faint from exhaustion, and here so? Where Is your-husband?'1 "Dead,"- she says, lifting her vlcltt eyes lo my face, and I hear In a dream: "I am Mrs. Danton's seamstress; I ntn very poor, I " She says no mora, I sco the color creep ing to her pale, sad face. I remember the uav she spoka my name, aud silently 1 open my arms to her, and But never mind the rest. Society wor ships my w ltc, but wonders how she ever came to ttiarry me. Sourgiapcs!
