of croquot. Tlio sun's hut gleam
lighted up (iraco Million's fucn will)
a hnlo of bounty, and Uurnnrd Norton
looked nt hor with undisguised adinir

"Thore is nothing so lovely as a

"And I would give half my fortune
to huvo you so,"'
No sooner woro Iho words utlcrod
than Xorton would hnvo given tnuch
to recall Ihom ; but ho had spoken un
thinkingly. Clnice shrank as though
ho had been struck, nrosa quickly
and went Into tlio homo.

across the lawn. '-That was a nico

ten days and sho'll forgive and for
get Absence makes tho heart softer.
And with this consoling thought ho
trolled on to join Gruco Munson,
whoso compaiiiou was just taking his
leave.
Grace was liko a delicate flower
sparkling wilh tho dew of morning.
She hnd soft bluo cyoe, an cxquislio
complexion and golJou lmir. Alto
gether she rondo a picturo of raro
beauty and it was no wonder Bernard
Norton found plousuro lu moroly look
ing at hor.
Tlmt evening Clurlco did not appear
in tho drawing-room, and Norton was
free to devoto himself to hor lovoly
cousin. Mr. Burton observed lils
conduct wiih displeasure; from the
first sho hnd not approved of her
daughter's suitor, and wondorod what
attraction tho carolom, frivolous young
man held for her sonsihlo Clarice.
Next morning a nolo was handed
Norton. Its contents filled him with
mingled annoyance and rollof.
"Wlion yoa rooolve this," Clurlco
wrote, "I shall have gono to my aunt
for a tiino. You do not lovo mo, Uor
nard, nud It is best for our eugngc
meut to end. Ea happy in your own
way and bo very suro I shall bo lu
mlno."
That was nil, and Bernard's self
estooin was ecriuitily wounded by tho
eplstlo. But ho consoled liiinsolf with
tho thought that ho was now froa to
woo tho charming Gruco, and at tho
end of tho mouth wudo a formal
avowal of lovo to hor.
"I nave lovou you ever unco wo
met,' ho suld. 'Clurlco saw this and
generously sot me froo." And Grace,
who had becomo vory much euamorod
of hor haudsoino suitor, gavo him the
answer ho craved.
Two weeks lator Mrs. Barton and
Clarloo woro on tholr way to Europe,
aud Bornard was trying to submit to
Iho siorn docroe of Graeo's fathor.
"Yes, sir, you can marry my daugb
ter," jur. Aiunsoii had sulci, 'ir you
love her woll enough to wait three
your. I am opposed to early mar
riages. No girl is fit for wedlock be
fore she is twouty-ouo, and twouty
five b still bettor."
it occurred to uornara that be was
llkoly to spend the groator fart of his
youth lu tho capacity of an "engaged
man," aud he did not improve iu
humor thoreby.
Graoo was an acknowledged belle
nd for a tlnte he was pleased at her
success. Bui there was a secret blt
' terues underlying his pleasure, for
be saw little of his betrothed exoept
la society's whirlpool. There yould
be bo change in this state of affairs
until their time ot probation endfed,
utt feeling in false position, be 091
eluded to spend the remaining joar in
trnvo'.
When ho bade Grace good-bye he
was struck with the fact tnai sne
loidced mnoh oldor than she did at tho
tltuo of their eiigngomont. Two years
of dissipation hnd left tholr mark upon
her delicate bonttty.
Be c irof ul, (rnce," he said. '-Keep
somo of your roso for mo until I
claim you."
lie said nothing of her fidelity; 1)0
was only afraid sho might loto tho
bounty ho worshipped.
Grace was sorry to loso her lover
she felt dusolato for n whoto day and
crloil hersolf to sleep tho first night.
But Bornurd wrolo hor charming loi
ters of trnvol and sho soon forgot hor
lof. She sont him In rctiri tho
briefest of notes, for the charming
Gruco did not excol as a correspon

for that.

then mudo his way slowly back. Ho
was In no hnsto to reach Chicago until
a few wcoks beforo tho time appointed
for h'.s marriage, which was to Itiko
place In early autumn. Oi0 morning
in July ho rung tho bull of tho Mun
son mansion and sent up his card to
tho ladies. There was a stop oil tho
stair, the trail of 11 garment and a
woman entered a woman ot medium
height, with a beautifully rounded
figttro and ft fuco of dazzling bril
liancy. Sho approached Burnurd and
cordially extended her hand.

I hoy were not awaro of your return.
You uro qnito well? I do not find you
so much changed as I oxpected."
Ho lookod at tho chnt'iiiing sponkcr
lu tnuto wonder.
"I bog pardon I I" ho began.
Her fuco was a ripplo of smiles as
sho regarded him, wailing for him to
proceed.
"I it posslblo I lira so changed that
you do not know me? Have threo
years ogod Clurlco Barton o much?
For the first tiino In his life Bernard
Norton lost his composure Ho sank
Into a chair with an ejaculation of
wonder.
"Clurlco Barton!" ho cried. "W hy,
11 dois not seem possible! When did
you roturn?"
"Nearly two months ngo," Miss
Barton rcpllod with her well-bred
composuro as sho gracefully scniod
hcrso'.f. "My dear mother died in
Rome last winter; Europo was linen
dnrablo after that, so I caino back to
Amorlca."
"But you are so changed !" Bernard
murmured, after expressing regrot M
her loss.
Miss Barton milled sadly.
"Tho years change us all," sho said;
"they loavo Ihoir mark."
"Oh, it is not that!" ho hastonod to
say. "lou look not a day oiucr than

"I am like my mother's people,"
Clarice ausworod quietly. "They nil

They foil to talking of tholr travels
and IS o'clock struck bo fore Norton
thought they had beon chatting twouty
minutes. At that moment tho hull
door clangod and stops caino towards

"Impossible! ho suul, looking at
his watch. "I cauuot huvo beou here

What he would have said romainod
unspokon, for Mrs. Munsou and Grac
appeared lu the doorway. Ills be
trothed was vory bocoiuoly dressed,
but so fadod that she seeinod like the
ghost of hor formor solf. Threo years
of socloty had dono their work. The
chock had lo.t Its bloom, the noso was
sharponod and the bouutirul eyes
lacked lustre. As sho stood beside
Clurice for a moment sho soemod ut
terly eclipsed by hor once plain cous

The mooting of the lover was con
strained, and Bernard took h'e depart
uro, promising to call the next day,
which bo did. Graoe informed blm
that be must wait patiently for tw
more week bofore be could see her
often, as she had engagemtuts for
every hoar.
"But yoa and Clarloo can console
each other," she said. "It will be
pleasant to compare note of travel."
Bernard was not slow to avail him
self of this opportunity, aud for two
bright, brief week he walked, talked,
drove and chatted with the charming
woman whom be bad once alighted,
What a blind fool ho had beon I It

"Do not let me disturb you," be
said, as sho half rose from the piano.
"I am in a mood to hnvo my savage

"I think so," answered Clarice. "1

Sho played on softly, her dnrkf

His voice was trembling with emo
