U was such ft lovely taco that it appealed
w only to tho heart, but o the very art
iioiroof dray Vernon's being, delighting
hls'nrtlstlc fancy with lis perfection, as
well as rarity.

llcr home was n cottage. Not the pic-
tiirosquo homo I ho word sepnis to Imply,
oui an 0111 i.unionmi iiomestcn(lKtliat was
going to wiecls, like its master, Meg's
father, at rt rapid rate.
- Gray Vernon saw her faco at tho window,
and two minutes later was-asklng for .1
dtlnk across tho low, unpaitited fence that
surrounded her homo. .
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.
There was a strange charm for him In
this untutored child, who, despite herlg
uoranco of the world's wayg.had a strange,
high-bred manner that half-puzzled, jet
amused blm.
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.
The girl's fair face grow taller in the
strnuge, dreamy spell that had fallen round
her, though her soul still slept to the titith,
but as the last of the summer roses faded,
it awoke Ahl ltlnd heaven! the bitter
ending of that awakening, "
Her father, if ho deserved tho natne, had
been carried Into his homo carried In dy
ing, a ghastly wound In his breast.
The poor child, frightened out of bor
senses, dashed down to tho nearest village
fora doctor, only to lind him absent.
"What will I do? Papa will dlul" she
cried, "Oh, papa, papal"
.She sobbed aloud bb she turned away,
aud her words fell on tho ears of a young
man leaning Idly against the porch of the
next house.
i- He gave hor one glance. Something In
the sweet, childish face appealed fo him,
and lie went forward.
,"I nm a doctor, little girl," be said, "but
bjlng on n. vacation, decided to let practice
rest awhile. Take me to your father nnd
I WViVto -M, JLjan." ' '
While Dr. "CailJleU3lovcr tho djlug

toward tho wcatlior-bealcn fence.
H'ith a low, glad cry, Meg sprung for
ward, and ran down tho path to meet him.
"Come inside," she cried. "Oh, Gray,
come In for a moment,'
Scarcely knowing what else to do, and
cursing Ids folly for passing tho usual
trjsting.placp, he followed her tip to the
house.
A low whistle, that might mean surprise
or embarrassment, left his Hps as the doc
tor looked pp.'
Oarlylc!
Gray Vernon I
Will Carl yle' s eyes glanced at him tjuos
tionincly, then rested on the girl, and a
look of contempt dheeted against the mau
crossed hl.s face,
Meg looku.1 from one to tho other, 11 half
quoRtlonlng look In her lovely eyes, a dim
suspicion that there was something wrong
crossing herjnlnd. '
Half mi hour later Hie two young meu
went down the ro.id together.
"1 tell you what, Vernon," his compan
ion said, "the best thing you can do is to
keep away from there. 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. Your reputation, its far as wo
men aro concerned, is not that of a Cheva
lier H,iyard. The girl will soon bo father
less, not much loss, I judge, however, and
and Well, take luyadUee and let
the girl alonu."
"And if I don't?" Gray anid.
"You will ho furry," Carlyle auswcied.
"Has she Leu Itched you? Cunyou blame
me?"
"You know belter. It can only end In
misery for the piulty child. Gray Vernon,

Meg sprung from hor lover's side.
"Gray 1 Gray! speak to mo! Is this true?"
Gtay's face was whlto as death. The
unhappy girl read the truth of the story In
every lino of it.
She staRgered batik, a low cry leaving her
lips.
"Oral ! Graj ! -Vy heartl" and throwing
up her hands, she fell, white and uncon
scious at their feet,
When she opened her eyes again, one of
her old nolghhois was bending over her.
"You fainted outdoors," she said, "alid
tho 'gentleman the doctor that was witli
your father cart ied ou In, and left this
for you. He went away -just as you begun
to recover."
The girl opened the letter tho woman

Th next day a letter was placed in mi

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.
He told her br.nr.ly of his spccuUilou
and its failure, and tiat ho' had come to
say -farewell.
God knows he had not Intended to te'l
bis love, hut ho could not control himself.
"You inuy worn uie. If you will," he
aid, "for the tnadiiess of th declaration,
but I love you, Marguerite."
"And for this vou arc going away?" she
said, and then Gray Vernon joined them.
His leo darkened as his eves rested ou
William CaVlyle. He had not heard of
Cailylo' failure, and he knew, besides bis
Inherited wealth, he was rising rapldlv in
his profession. Though lialf-brothersthe.re
n'v ihe evening before Gray had asked
MaiguerltH Leland to be his wife, hut had
not received au auswer.
Marguerite looked from onft to the other,
a faint smile crossing her lips.
"lam strangely fond of June roses."
sbo said, "tlier were tho one beauty of mv
ublldhood's home. In the midst of dilapi
dation a rosn tree flourished. Mr. Vernon
does. not your memory evur recall a tumble

William Carlylo looked from one to the
otber lu surprise, for Gray'a faco bad grown
haggard In a moment's time as Marguerite's
eyes resied on il, and Ihen "

LAWYER AND JUDQls.
Mr. roylon H. Hayden whs In bis time
one of the prominent lawycis of Missouri;
but he Seldom read auj tiling outside of
his professlou, and was laughably Ignorant
of history aud goography. 'Once, In cross
examining a witness, he said: "State. If
Von please, to what nationality you be
long." v
"1 am a Dane, sir," answered tho wit
ness. "You arc a Dane, -are you? .Now, will
you be so kind as to tell us when von left
Dmip.
"I never loft Dane, sir; I left Den
mark." .
Every ono In the room laughed, and the
cross-examination came to a sudden end.
Mr. Hayden was not always so easily put
down, however. He seldom used the
terms plaintiff and defendant, but spoke
of the parties by name. One day he was
pleading the case of a Jfr. Jones and ns he
went on repeated the name again and
again. Finally the judge Interrupted
hltn.
"Jr. Hayden,-will jou do me a fa
vor?" "Certainly, your Honor, with pleas
ure." "I thought," raid Ihe judge, hesitating
ly, "If you havo no objection, you might
lie willing to trll me tho iiame of your
client."
A general roar greeted this sally, but Mr.
Haj den at once replied: "Of course, sir;
my client's nsme Is William Jones, sir.
He lives down 011 tho Moro, sir, just-bulow
Jefferson City, sir. His name Is William
Jnpes, sir."
"I thank you," said the judge; "pro
ceed with your argument."
Mr. nayden proceeded, and taking up a
certain point, went over it and over It, till
the judge again grow impatient.
"I wish to know, Mr. Hayden, If yon
will do mo another favor."
"Certainly, sir,"
"The I wish to kno v whether you don't
think that when a lawyer has said the
same thing one hundred and fifty times it
would be well for him to inovo on?"
"Xo sir," said .Vr. Hayden; "I don't
think any such thing, and I will tell wliy.
I suppose, sir, that If I had mentioned the
Uffiuo of my client oiice, I had done so a
