Hugh ilcirlngton leaiiiit mil (if the wli -tlow with an abstracted1, almost, gloomy look upon Ills handsome, face. Within the room Miss Adeline Rivers a fair, stylish hello and his fularo hrlilc was at the plaiio slngiiiesome old love-song, with a thrill of pathos in her clear soprano voice lianllv In keeping with the statuesque) coldness of her beauty. Several mliulrns wtre grouped about her listening appreciatively; Iml Hugh Mer rlngton did not seem to even hear th bell like tones. "If she Is singing to lilm all that tender sentiment Is thrown away," thought the gentleman, who was turning her music, half Indlgnantl, wondering at the same, time bow srcrrlngtou could appear so indiffer ent to the fair society queen whom be bad won from a scoie. of riyals. Hut be and others remembered that Hugh had noTcr been demonstrative as a lover. He bad always, apparently, been calmly proud of bis fiancee'; but there bad been a striking absence of that headlong, impetu ous abandonment to tho aramle vansioii which bail been predicted of him If ever he should really fall In love. "It's quite time I should think of mary- rylng," he replied in answer lo numerous congratulation!. "And haven't 1 chosen well? Ah, yes, my boy, you are quite right I 1'vo won the lovlicst bride of. Ihe. season. Proud of It?" - laughingly. "H'by, of course 1 am!" But lit did not wear bis heart upon bis slceye. And those who bad fancied that Hugh Mcrrington that captivating mixture ot careless -good-fellowship and pride, who made light of Cupid's power would make a fool of himself yet for some woman's sake, were rather disappointed. He went through Ills engagement like the most rational of mortals,and now be scenic1' ven Uss ardent In his wooing. "He puts me In mind of a man who lias coma Into possession of some rare jewel," went en the gentleman who stood beside Miss lltvcrsjpui'suing his critical reflections. "He knows it is securely bis, and lie docs not daign to make a fuss about It. Still, 1 expected Hugh would be very different as a lover." Hut Jiss Itlvcis sang on, with her hcatt iu her voice; and, though the looked lovely enough to turn the coolest bead, lffcratll anccd husband seemed unconscious of it all. His restless glance was following a light, graceful form whose plain, .dark-colored gown went fluttering futtbur and further away down the long avenue of budding sllycr-maples. "I'll go," be said presently, below bis breath, a sudden gleam coming into his restless blue eyes. "Of course It will be useless, for If she sees me near, she will vanish again. How Imid It is to gel a word with her; but I must try 1 Adeline will never miss me with all these fellows sur rounding her." And, with some slight apology, lie pasted outside, across the velvety lawn, and down the Ions, mpale avenue, until he cams In sight of the dark-robed llltlo figure which had lured him out' She liadjiipt noticed his approach, and he had time tojnbserve tlm listless droop of Ihe slender figure leaning against one of the silver maples, and to mark the sadness hopelessness, rather, In the Ibeautifiil dark llltlo face turned almost wholly from him. His heart gave a strange throb half pity, half exultation for something whispered to him why those proud, dark eves wero filled with such passionate bitterness as she stood there all alone. Ycl the next Instant he knew he must bo mistaken; for at the sound of his low,cager, yet tremulous "Miss Orral"' sho wheeled about, and faced him with all the cold, un yielding idiiteur he had learned "to know am dread. I bad thought to have a hslf hour of un- Interrupted solitude she replied, with freez ing coldness. "Is there no other portion of these extensive grounds in which Mr. llcrrlngton might enjoy a morning walk?" "I suppose there Is," be retorted, flush ing half angrily. "Hut J will not pretend that 1 came out simply for u walk or that this meeting was an -accident. I saw the flutter nf your dress as you turned down the avenue, and forgive me when 1 tell you tho plain truth, Mlis Orra"' with beseech Ing-earnsitncss "I followed you," "A manly act, Indeed 1" sneered the ghl, contemptuously. "And you are not ashamed to stand there and confess It?" Again bo flushed up to the roots of his wavy, light-brown hair. "I couldn't help ltl" he burst out pas sionately. "I havo not exchanged a word with you for nearly a week. Oh, Orral why do you shrink from me so persistent ly? Do you really hate me?" "Not at all," she answered, In smooth, cutting tones ; "I fancy I shall like you well enough when you baye necome my slop brother. And that will not bo long, you know" urovoklngly. "Until that time, howeycr, I doubt not Adeline will appreel at your Interesting society far belter than I possibly cun." 'Adeline?' he e,chocd. half sneerlngly, not paid in Advance. Single Copies 5 Cents. "Ho you suppose she mints me, or cares where I am at this moment? I left her surrounded by her guests, and every man there Is nioro or less her admirer. Their flattetlng homage is the Incense In which her soul delights. No, no, Orra" looking up with sudden eagerness "il It Is for n in sue sioppcu nun wun a quicK gesture of hand, and apioud, Indignant (lash of liar great black eyes. "It Is simply because. I wish it," she re turned, with the halightlutis of a young queen, making a move to pais hlin. "I forbid you to follow me again, or to annoy me with your presence at times when you know it li not dtshed." And, with scarcely a bend of her dark, regal little bead, she swept proudly past him. leaving blni there wllh a shame and bitterness In his heart it had neyer known before. . Never bad Adeline Rivers, in the Bplcn- dor of her silken robes, In the brilliant tri umphs of hor bellehood, seemed to him one half s6 lovely or so queenly as this proud Utile step-sister of hers Orra Shelton who wore plain, inexpensive gowns, ami wlio never gave him a kind word or glance, let him plead ever so humbly. He had never seen Orra befoie bis en gagement to the brilliant Adeline had be come a fixed fact, for she was skillfully kept out of society, and was seen very little even In their home. Hut the first glimpse of her dark, Imperi ous, passlonnl Utile face, with Its strange bUnding of sadness and senin, was a reve lation. He had not stopped to analyze his own feelings, or perhaps he would not have been guilty of the act which she icsented with such Indignant scorn. He only knew that her piescnce held a kr.cli delight for him, let her moods be what thoy might. Hut he would not dare to trouble her again. At last b was begluningtoiealiy.aall the truth, and to feel that the path of honor led him iinjdtylngly from Orra's side. That evening the entire party from River dale, as the place was called, attended a conceit in the adjoining town. Orra was also thfic, and her scat was di rectly back of that occupied by Adeline and her lover. Suddenly, toward the close of the enter tainment, the cry of fire was started, and, in less than a breath of time, people slatted to their feet and a panic scorned Inevitable. Some impulse forced Hugh to turn swift ly lo the scat behind blm, knowing Ade line was safe by bis sldo. At the first glance his fair, handsome faco turned pale with horror. The windows were open, as ft was a soft, spring night; and therc,')olscd on the sill, her big, dark eyes wild wllh terror ami her lovely face blanched to the hue of snow, crouched Orra Shelton, just ready to spring to the ground, a fearful leap, as she thought, for llfo. With the spe d of lightning, Hugh threw himself across the seat and caught her In his strong arms; snatching her back from tho very Jaws of death. Ho drew her to his bi east, and for one Instant the white, tcriified little face lay there tiuieslitlngly, all its pride and scorn forgotten. Jly little lovel my darling! 1 baye saved you!" he murmured passionately. bending down, unheeded by the confused throng about them, and touching her Hps with a kiss that UihU thrilled the pale, sweet face into a rose-red blush. She. opoucd her eyes and looked at his just onco and then bravely tried to free herself from her clasping arms. llul all her prlilr, and queenllucss would never avail a?ain to hide the answering tore be had read in her beautiful eyes. He let hor go, but there was a smile on his Hps, and, deop down in his lumost soul, an unalterable, sudden purpose to free him self the loyelcss fetters that held him, and win this dark-eyep girl who had given him nothing but scorn, yel who loved him -for all that. The danger was oyer for it bad been a false alarm and the audience were gradu ally settling back to their places. As Hugh turned again to Adeline he no ticed a stranger beside her a very hand somo man, daik and fascinating, Mrho had evidently drifted there in the genetal con fusion, and unexpectedly met an old ac quaintance. For the first time Hugh thought of notic ing what was going on about him. "Yes, it was an awful blow your un looked-for refusal, Adeline," the stranger was saying, In a voice so low that.lt barely reached Hugh's car. "Hut I managed to live It down or thought I bad, nntll to night. And I am- tich new, Adeline. If you bail waited " "Rich!" cclieed Adeline, a pallor sweep ing suddenly over her beautiful blonde face, "Oh, Rupert 1 and It was only for want of that I broke your heart and mine! And now" "Is it too 'laic?" began hoi coixpaulon passionately; but just tbenIIttch touched his fiancee lightly on the shoulder. She looked up with a guilty start, and Hugh saw that she had utterly forgotten blm In the .memories called up by the hand some stranger. 'Xo, Adeline, it Is not too late," put in Hugh, smiling softly. "Uy a happy chance, it would seem, cveiytbinghas come around just right, and just In time to straighten out a yery tangled web, and make four of us as happy as we came within an ace of being miserable. Hill it surprise you.Ade line, to learn that I lorn your little dark- eyed step-sister?" 'Yes," she returned, looklug her aston ishment. "But" holding cut her hand with a bright, frank smile "Hugh, I am very glad." And so was Orra, as Hugh persuaded her to confess to htm before the midnight chimes ended that eventful day.
