That was tho beginning, aud as the bright summer months Dased, bis frlonds ru tlio fashionable watering place, a mile below, began to wonder where be spent his tlmo when absent from Leah Despard's side: even the proud beauty herself missed some of bis nsual attentions, but, with her usual hauteur, refrained from giving tho slightest sign that the did so.

Sometimes ho wondered vaugcly what lie tneant to do for ho was not all bad and tlio girl's perfect innocence appealed to his better nature, and had been a safe guard to licrall tho bright summer months. Onco or twice it had dawned upon him to inako tho gill his wife, and break all other bonds that bound bhu; but the thought was only momentary, and scoffed at the next instant.

That girl is littlo more than n child a fair, pitrn child if appearances goes for anything, and It is cowaidly in you to disturb the simple timor of her life.

And who was .Marguerite Leland? One of the. cleverest writers of the day, as well as 0110 of Ihe wealthiest of women; and above all a woman whose beauty alone would have made her famous, had she used it as a power. She was standing under the chandelier, Its soft glow lighting lip her pale gold hair and radiant, violet eyes; and thus Gray Vernon nijd Wllll.mi Carlyle saw her, and seeing hcr.hotli new the world bad changed for them. From that evening Gray Vernon was her shadow, and people smiled nt a foregone conclusion for when had Gray Vernou's eyes smiled approval that a woman's heart had not throbbed beneath their glances. Tho beautiful Young heiress ho had mar ried live years before lived but uu siioit year, then c)ood her eyes in death, and alter that women seemed to hold little charm for him till ho looked into the eyes strangely familiar to him of .Varguerito Leland; and then his very nal urn seemed to change with the intensity of the passion that consumed mm, tlin hopes Mini fetus that t"l html him. And William Carlylo was Ills rival, aud perhaps a successful one, snuie people whispered, thotigh.her smiles wero pretty evenly divided. And then, when bis hopes wme highest, William Carlylnfelt that the ebb had come, when a speculation in which he had staked the heller pnrt of his poset,sions went don n with a crash, leaving him compara tively speaking, a poor man. There was only ono thing left, to say faiewell to hope nd Marguerite Leland. He sought her and fiiund her fouud her in the garden amoug tha rod .hum roses, a cluster of them in hei baud.
