''Which shall be my choice wild rose or
blue-bell the red or the blue? Supposo 1
draw and let tho last deside fur me?" Kate
Marmlon said to herself as she stopped be
side the prettily draped tablo of her own
Utile sitting room.
On the olive plush table-scarf, which
her own deft and dainty hands had em
broidered in canning wheat ears and spears
of silky grasses, two exquisitely arranged
bouquets ls.y side by side.
Ore was of half-blown wild rosc3,nilngled
with golden mosses; aud the other was of
lelicitte and dewy blue-bells, fringed with
feathery asparagus sprays. Both were
equally artistic and lovely, each In lis dif
ferent way.
Looking into the mirror before ber, the
Irl held the roses for a moment against
tho jjvavy richness of her chestnut hair,
airalnst tho whiteness of her beautlfhllv
moulded throat, against the slender corsage I
of her white cown.
The flowers seemed to suit herqwn lovli-
ness the alabaster of her oval face, the
changeful pink of her cheeks, the sparkl
ing azure of her dark-lashed eyes.
She blushed slightly as she put it down
and took up the other bouquet.
Hut the blue-bells became her alsoi each
flower was equally becoming to her own
fairness In lis contrast or haimony.
anu- men ncr inouguis uirnea 10 me
elvers
The roses had been sent by Rufus Carrls-
ford-f the handsome, gay, and fascinating
nephew of a millionaire neighbor.
Although youne Carrisford was nonar-
ently'itho favorito of his uncle and was be
lieved to bo tho heir of the millions, he had
been abroad for years, Kate's acquaint-
ance.with him dated from his return home
a few months previously.
Froth' the beginning ho bad wooed her
impetuously and with ardor. lie was pol
ished of bearing, magnetic of address, and
brilliant conversationalist. Kato was
ambitious to a certain extent; she had a
taste for the refinement and luxuries of
llfd which the very limited means of her
parents had never permitted her to gratify.
And one could scarcely wonder if her
preference were Inclined toward the hand
some young Carrisford heir, who could
lavish upon her all tlio splendors her girlish
ambition had ever coveted.
The giver of the blue-bells was Leonard
Fairfax; and he was also old Mr. Cards-
ford's nephew, although there was no kin
ship between him and the heir.
There was an impression generally that
the old gentleman had no liking for Leon
ard, and that unhappy differences were
frequent between them. lie occupied the
position of under-superintendeut of tbo es
tate; but Le was not an inmate of the pa
latial old Carrisford mansion.
Leonard had none of tho physical attrac
tions of the favorite nephew. Ills frame
was tall and angular; his features were
lugged; his cheeks and his shapely hands
showed a sun-brorzed tim. Ills brown
eyes were grave; he was rather blunt of
speech; and his manners were quiet almost
to shyness.
Kate had known him from childhood;
and even while thoy were but children, she
knew that he loyed her, that he would have
" Gird to death for her fair Wind.
But it was with hor two suitors as it was
with her two bouquets she was unable to
decide between them. She liked both
equally well each In his own different
way.
'Shall it be tho red or the blue? I will
draw, and the last shall be my choice," she
said to herself that evening in the solitude
of her pretty sitting room
She untied the blooms, carefully separat
ed them from tho golden moss aud feathery
green foliage, ana jumbled tbetn into a
glowing, sceutod heap,
And then, smiling at her own absurdity,
ebo began:
"Hose blue-bell, rose bell, red blue,
Rufus Lenny "
And then she checked herself,
She was vexed at herself for murmuring
the names of her lovers so foolishly.
"Red blue, red blue blue."
She had drawn tbo last, and it was a
blue-bell, as exquisitely cut and as darkly
translucent as if thinly carved from lapis
lazuli.
But she tossed It Impatiently away,
Such is the tnjsterv and inconsistency of
the girlish heart
Throwing aside, at random, a quantity
of the blooms, she again began to draw
from the newly jumbled pile.
'Red blue, rose bell, rose bell, bell
again!" sho exclaimed, as she drew the last
a second time,
Again It was a blue-bell the most daint
ily perfect of the entire bunch.
Rut I won't wear It," she declared
mentally. "There is no use in flattrring
Lenny; I can never marry him, for he will
always he poor, and 1 have had enough
of poverty."
Again she threw aside a quantity of the
blossoms; there were but 076 remaining,
She closed her eyes and drew blindly.
And still, for the third time, she accom
plished the same result. She lifted her
long lashes to behold a dewy bell as blue
as her azure eyes.
"IIow provoking," Kato ejaculated to
herself. "I can't wear the blue-bells I
shouldn't like to encourage Lenny, by pre
ferring his flowers. I should bo very
wicked to do so, when we can never be
anything to ea.cn other."

ils comlns. her soft sighs nt his going, on-
conrnsed blin already.
Did ln net know, better than sha knen
herself, that If he were the Gnrilsfoul heir
sho would have been proud to become hlr
ov.ii. And would ho not hayc died for net
fair sake, and lelt lifo well lost for the
blessed compensation of a shiglcmlle?
Iiut despite her scruples, Knto wore his
ijlfl of flowers. Those she had drawn slit
fastened In her hair mid at her thtoat; the
remainder, with Its featliciy green sprays,
the pinned at her bett.
She had just finished her adornment.
when there wcio hurried .'ootsteps on tilt
low veranda, and the next instant llufm
Gatrisford came abruptly through I he long
French window into tho room.
His darkly handsome features were
tarlingly pale, and his black eyes were
.light as if hidden fires were r.igin,t behind
them.
Kate had no time to show surprise, noi
llspleasnre, at his unceremonious intru
sion. Il'lth his burning eyes fixed on hers,
lie walked hurriedly across the room and
caught one of her hands In both his own.
Forgive me, Kate," ho began, and the
lrl started at his strangely excited tone.
I count tho minutes whilo I am aa
from you, my swoet love. And, Kitty, 1
can bear your indecision no longer. If yon
lovo mo, tell me so."
I thought we settled that a long time
ago," she answered, with a little yoxed
pout. "I thought I was to havo a year, if
need be, to decide."
"You would not need a slnglo second.
Kate, if you truly loyed mo," lie said Im
petuously, and with impassioned purstia
don. ''Your vacillation, sweet, is more
than mortal man can endure. I must know
mv joy or my doom this vory hour. All
which I prizo'most beneath heaven, you
hold at your disposal in tho tender palm of
this little rose-leaf hand."
Lovely blushes camo and went on the
qlrl's soft chocks; her eyes wens downcast;
she seemed about to yield.
"Coma with me to-night, Kato; we will
bo married at the little parsonage oyer
yonder aud we will start at once, for Europe.
iVll that your wildest ambition lias ever
pictured shall beyours pleasure and luxury
and social triumphs and the delights of
travel. You shall feast of the rarest and
be arrayed like a queen; Jowcls which the.
throned sovereigns of the eaith might cuvy
shall be yours; all tbat unbounded wealth
ana boundless love can procure shall be at
your command."
The vision dazzled tho girl's senses.
"Yes," was trembling on her lovely lips.
But just then the bluebell in her half be
came loosened, and as with a sentient,
caressing touch, the flower brushed bet
heated face.
She dropped Into a chair beside her and
burst into tears;
"You are cruel to urge mo eo." she said,
plteously. "I am not sure I care for you
as you would wish; I don't, yet. know my
own mind."
For a moment which seemed an age, Car
risford gazed at ber in utter silence.
Then he slowly bent over her and lightly
touched her forehead with bis lips.
"I understand, Kitty; you aio not for
me. Jfniewell, darling faiewell forever!
You and I havo met for the last time." be
said, in the calmness of utter despair.
Kato terrified, she knew not why dared
not lift ber eyes. She mado no attempt to
reply; and the next instant lu was gune
and she was alone.
It was several minutes before she regain
ed composure after tho agitating scene,
Tim air inside seemed to choke her, and
presently sho wrapped a dark shawl over
her white gown and wcut Into the quaint
little garden.
It was a long, narrow enclosure, and one
end was divided from the Carrisford grounds
only by a boundary lino of firs.
She strolled aimlessly Into an altbea-hor-
dcrcd walk winding down to Ilia firs; and
almost before she was aware of the fact she
had reached the boundary Itself, and was
looking absently toward tho broad lancet-
window of the Carrisford library.
This apartment was a modern addition to
tbo superb old bouse.
It was a low-ceiled, oak-paueled room
with a peaked roof aud sharp gable; and
tbat single, oddly-shaped window opened
dlrect.y upon the lawp.
It was tho favorite tetreat of the million
aire; there ho received his assistants em
ployed about the estate, and there it was
rumored ho bad many a stormy interview
with Leonard Fairfax
Standing in the shelter of tbo firs, Kate
was so closo she might have put forth a
band and touched the stained glass panes.
Suddenlyaglimmerlnclight within flared
up brilliantly, the heavy curtains of ruby
velvet lined with golden satin were drawn
apart aud a casement was flung open. And
all the interior of the library was disclosed
to her sight,
From what she then beheldtbeglil would
havo sprung away !u horror; but tier limbs
refused to obey her startled will.
She would have erica out, but terror
strangled the crin her throat.
With her face whiter than her gown.wilh
her bauds clutching a fir trunk for support
until the jagged batk cut Into her delicate
flesh, she stood noiseless aud moveless,
What she beheld was old Mr. Carrisford
lying prostrate upon the carpet, his sense
less oyes staring up into space, his wrinkled
teattues the hue of death and convulsed as
with the last agony. Blood stained his gar
ments, was matted in his gray hair, and
was gathered In a dreadful pool about hi
head.
Aboye tbo unconscious figure bent Leon
ard Fairfax, haggard, wild-eed and shiv
ering as if with an ague.
Tiie whole grewsotne spectacle was no
plainer to Kate's sight than the deed and
tho motive seemed clear to ber mind.
Leonard and his uncle must have had
one of tueir nequeui quarrels, remaps
Leonard had reqnesled money and beeu re
fused. Perhaps be had been maddened by
exasperating tauuls. Anyhow, In a mo
ment of passion, a fatal blow had been
struck; and Leonard Falrlax must forever
wear the brand of Ciln.
At tbat moment a truth, which .coined
moro terrible than all, bunt upon ber senses
As she looked upon him, even as she be
lieved his soul stained with a tin will h
lifetime of penitence could'not cleanse
away, in that moment she knew It was
Leonard Fairfax whom she loyed.
Though that love might shadow all the
at yrs of htr l!f, sk kcw she loyed him

s site should never loves another, and that
so sho must love him alwas.
She was half fainting as she iccled away
from tho spot. The lustlo of her garments
along the llrs, the sound of ber foouleps
upon tbo turf rnut have slartied Leonard.
Shu saw him spilng to the open c.uement
md peer out Into the moonless and Mnrlcis
Ight. She could heat hlsstmipand tun
ing breath as he stepped from the window
to the lawn and hastened to overtake her.
"What brought jou here, Kale? What
fatality cuided yon lo the library wludon
at such a lime?" he asked, In a lolce of
agony.
She could not answer; sho was titlrly
unnerved, and tears of weul.ni"3 were
streaming over her fail face.
"I would have kept it from ; on; ll I could
I would havo spared you the kimvrledge
which must poison your life," he continued.
"How could you havo done It 1 e nu; ?
how could yon?" she managed to ,
through her tears.
Leonard stopped and regardml I . t- earn
estly. Was It possible she co.il.j L.pecl
bliuofsuch a sin? Was her l..:ugief
for him? Was It possible that l wns the
one she loyed?
But In that awful moment she did not
attempt to conceal her feelings ; hu whole
heart, was lu her eyes and voice
'Kate, my poor child, this shock has
been too much for you," he said, as he-nut
one arm protcctlngly about her tremulous
form. "And 1 see jou liavo been mistaken
ibout many things. 1 havo never had a
really hard word with my undo in my Ufa.
Wo have had somo unpleasant scenes on
account of Rufus, however; I havo always
tried to shield Jiutus, because X thought vou
cared for blni. And it was ho who quar
reled witli my undo a llttlo whilo ago.''
Kate shuddered, ohe understood now
why Unfits Carrisford had been so strangely
agitated, and why bu had bidden her an
eternal farewell.
"They had a strugglo to-night' Leon
ard resumed. "My uncle fell, aud iu fati
ng his head struck against the sharp corn
er of tho maible mantle. . Tlio Injury is not
serious, although ho was badly stuuncd,
and must sutler from the loss ot blood. A
physician arrived a moment before I came
out here to yo't. It was anxiety for you,
Kate not f 5r my uncle which half dis
tracted me."
Kate listened Willi tho look of one lust
awakened from u terrible dream. A mur
mur of thankfulness trembled from her
white lips:
"And I repaid your noble anxiety by
judging you most crnelly," Kate returned,
in bitterest soii-reptoacu.
"Not so," ho returnod quickly, and with
deep tenderness. "You repaid me by let
ting mo for ouco loot: into your heart, my
precious one by letting nie read there a
truth which half unmans me for very joy."
And then no tnoic her, happy ana uur
istlng, into his arms and kissed the lovely
forehead, tho U.irwct oyes, the quivering
mouth.
Ho took her home, his promised brldo.
and then returned to his uncle.
Old Mr. Carrisford was rapidly recover
ing from his terrible fall; and he declared
himself quite strong enough to attend' a
grand wedding whenever the young people
houiu appouii the nappy uay."
"And there Is no two in your intorcedlni
any nioro for Ittifus," he said, flrmli, to
i.conaiu. "liio only crcditanie thing no
lias ever done In his wholo life was his fall
ing in love witli Katie. 1 havo dono with
him, and I shall alter the will I mado in
bis favor before I am a day older."
It was his threat lo alter the will which
caused the disastrous quarrel that evening.
And there was no doubt, when young
Carrisford left the library, that ho believed
his uncle dead or dying, lie left the place
tbat night, and be never returned.
Kato has long been one of tho happiest
of loved and loving wives; but she never
recalls that evening without a shudder.
But how near sua had been to tho fatal
brink of a lifelong mistake aud a lifelong
misery, Leonard Fairfax never knew.

The gold excitement in Lower California,

people are flocking from San Olego apd the
Eastern Italiroad is slopped and tho work

Steamers between San Diego and Ensenada
have doubled their rates, hut the rush con

land, carrying many persons direct lo the
mines. Tho San Diego papers declaro that
the development covets 100 miles equate
and that placer miners arc making a cieat

gold dust was brought Into Ji.tiser.ada
and San Diego the other day. Nearly all
tho California papers have urged the
