"If every one could only ho as fortunate as Miss Carroll I'1 laughed Mrs. Lcroy.wltli a sort of nood-natured envy, as that young lady came up and joined tho little group that had been gayly discussing tho themo of matrimony. ''Just think of the luxury of never having to bother one's head about tho 'prospects' of a favored suitor never haying to worry oyer tho matter-of-fact, prosy side of lovo and marriage. When one ha3 a million tho wholo subject becomes simply ono of poetry and romance, and be sides, sho lias all tho world to choose, from, you see." ' Majorie Carrollmllcd as sho broke, off a splendid crimson-hearted rosoTunl stuck it carelessly in her belt against the pure whiteness of her dress. And as she smiled her soft brown eyes turned, half uncon sciously, toward Ralph Thorne. "Yet even such a fortunate creaturo as Vou deem tho heiress to a million may have hei'-troubles, her difficulties,''' sho ans wered calmly. "You say sho has all tho ; world to choose from, Mrs. Loroy, but just think of tho multitude of cold-blooded for tune hunters that may bo included in the number. Isn't that enough to turn alt tho poetry of her cxistense Into tho dryest kind of prose." It was a light, unmeaning speech, uttered without tho faintest tlngo of bitterness, and ending with a bright little laugh as tho lovely brown eyes turned, half-chidingly, upon tho pretty, envious little, widow. But to Ralph Thome's sensitive car there was a veiled sarcasm in the light tones, a hidden purpose In tho frankly spoken words, and that purpose was to warn him that his loyo was hopeless, that in her eyes ho was merely ono of tho "cold blooded fortune hunters" whom she held In such calm contempt. His handsome face flushed proudly aud his gray eyes glowed with a sudden swiftly kindled anger, but ho made no reply. lie moved out of tho little circle, a moment after, and Majorie's brown eyes followed him, with a puzzled look In their beautiful depths, as he strolled over lo tho spot where stood Myrtle Deming tho flirt par excellence of tho .company at Howard Place and, after a few minutes' conversa tion, escorted her to the house, from whence their two voices soon camo floating out to thoso iu the grounds, blendharlng monlously iu tho notes of a popular duet. "So Myrtlo has drawn him Into her train at last," sho thought, her lovely face cloud ing with regret. "But sho will break his heart. Sho is the last girl in the universe to marry such as he. Ho Is too noble and too poor for her." A faint blush roso to Majorie's fair checks at those last words. Ah, yes, It was true I With "all tho world to choose from," Majorie Carrol, tho beautiful heiress to a million, had chosen, I if her secret heart, this man tho hand somest, tho noblest, ant' the proudest of all her scores of suitors. It had never occurred to her to doubt his honor; therefore she did not dream that her own llttlo speech, which had no Im portance whatever, to herself, had driven him from her side. But she did hcllcvo now that sho bad mistaken thoso numberless Intangible lltil e signs which sho had fancied meant lovo on his part, and her cheek burned moro and more hotly at the remembrance, "1 cannot have all sunshlno in my life," she murmured, with a thrill of bitterness In the sweet, low tones that had never sounded there before. "Love Is not bought with gold. It will ho my fato to lose tho only heait I havo ever cared to win." She went Into tho drawing-room with tho rest after awhile, but Ralph Thorne never seemed awaro ot tholshy, half-won' dcrlng glances which thoso thrilling brown eyes now and again Involuntarily sent In his direction. And when the gay evening, with Its lights and laughter and music, was over, and a half-dozen bright-eyed belles went trooping up tho broad stairs together, Myrtlo Deming whispered confidentially to Jfajorie that sho had brought over "that proud, distant fellow, Ralph Thorne," at last, and positively sho had never known until this evening, how thoroughly hand some and positively fascination ho could be." As the starry, blue eves of the pretty flirt which had done such dangerous work before, now flashed a look of smiling tri umph Into hers, Majorie gayo back a laugh' lng answer, and passed on to her room. And how many there would havo enyle'd tho beautiful heiress could they hayo looked Into her heart in the bitterness of that moment? In her abstraction she never thought of tho roso which had fallen from her belt at the bottom of the staircase; still less did sho dream whoso hand had lifted it from thd polished oaken floor, and whoso Hps had tenderly pressed its fading crimson leaves, "A fitting souvenir of my faded love' dream," muttered Ralph Thome, bitterly as ho hid It away closo to his heart, and wont out under tho silent summer stars to walk and smoko and think, until tho gold' en light paled and died before tho rising dawn. In the week that followed the last week that they would all bo together nt the charming, picturesque old Howard l'laco thero was no untangling of the ugly knot which had so suddenly spoiled tho silken, sunny strands of Majorie's life. Ralph was cortcously pollto to her; but recklessly devoted to Miss Deming; and, though Majorie's fair face was still sweet and unclouded, there were hatd and bitter nnd misanthropic feelings finding lodgment in her heart for tho first tlmo iu her life, and perhaps sho was reckless enough, In some unguarded moments, to glvo them utterance. In just such a mood sho was strolling iiuougu ino grounds so full of retired nooks that Jfjrtlo Deming was onco heard iu uuuiaro mat, nowaru riaco was a lllrt's paradise when tho sound of her own name suddenly caught iicr wandering at tention. " "Yes, lovely as sho Is, and all that," some ono was saying, and Majorio easily recognized tho voice "it's ten to one Ma- jotlo Carroll would havo become, in time, a soured old maid; she was getting so con foundedly suspicious about all men being fortune hunters, you know. Hut this Quixotic resolution of hers about giving up all her wealth to charitable institutions" Majorie gavo a great start, and bit her red Hps savagely to keep back tho cry of as tonishment sho camo near uttering "will no doubt save her from such a fato as that. For a fellow could easily lovo her It sho hadn't a dollar, you know, only she can't bo convinced of It while sho has tho money," "If sho docs that " replied another voice ono that made her heart bound madly, for it was Ralph Thome's, and there was a strange, glad thrill In It that surprised her. "Rut It can't be posslblo. Who told you? Sho would neycr do such a wildr mad thing as that." "But sho will, I tell you," retorted the other Impatiently. "I had It from Mrs. Leroy, and sho had It straight from the heiress' own Hps. Sho is perpetually tor mented by tho fear of being married for her money, and sho vows sho will resign every dollar of It rather than run such a risk. In a month from now sho will probably hp as little- of an heiress as that pretty Miss Myrtle whom you admiro so But you can ask Mrs. Loroy you needn't take my word for It unless you like." And then a rustling of leaves told Ma jorio that tho half-offended news bearer had taken his departure. "To give up her wealth I resign the mil lion that lifts her as far above me ns the stars I" sho heard Ralph exclaim when he was atone, that glad thrill deepening and Vibrating In his voice. "Heavens I can It bo true? If It over docs happen, then ah, then I will bo the first to tell her of that lovo I have hidden so well. Majorie Ma jorio I if you" Ho stopped, his handsoino face flushing and paling by turns In his agitation. For a light step had sounded behind him, and, wheeling about, ho had suddenly found himself face to faco with Jajorlo herself. "Is it true that that " Ho could not finish the question" ho began, fcollng how wild, how Improbable it was. But Majorie came toward him, her brown eyes glowing, her sweet Hps smiling and her llttlo jeweled hands held out half pleadingly. "That I am going to resign my wealth?" sho finished gayly. "No. I may have made somo foolish remark on tho subject to Mrs. Leroy, but I never dreamed that It would bo taken seriously made anything of at all. But " She stopped with a startled and troubled look. For tho Instant sho uttered that denial Ralph had drawn hack from her, proud and cold as ever. For a second Marjorie stood hesitating, wavering, then: "Pardon mo if 1 seem unmaideuly," she uttered faltcringly, her beautiful face bathed in hot blushes; "but I heard what you said when you thought yourself alono, and, Ralph, believe me, I " "I cannot consent to appear Iu tho role of a fortuno-huntcr," horcturned haughtily Miss Canoll, forget that I ever" "Ralph !
