A man sits looking moodily into the open wood lire as he leans lazily buck in a luxurious arm-chair. His surroundings are sumptuous. The whole apartment bespeaks great wealth used to the best advantage by the aid of exquisite taste. There are flowers iu this room—a great, square window of palms, and rare blossoms, and cut roses, exhaling a delicious odor. But the one Ivuman tigure is more interesting, more strikingly elegant, than anything in the room. Errol Jerome, though now 42 years old, certainly deserves his reputation of being the handsomest and most distingue man in New

Just now the face is at its worst. By his side are a lot of bills, glancing at which his brow grows more densely clouded and he gives his head a fretted, quick, upward lift, like a fine racer chafing at his bit. "D—n it," he says to himself, between his teeth, "is this thing never 10 •cease?11
As if in answer to this self-question-ing, some one enters softly and comes up to his chair. "Hello, dad!"
Errol Jerome turns and regards his son with the same look he has been bestowiug upon the lire. "Hello!" he replies, not rising from bis chair, but giving out rather coldly his line white hand to be shaken.
His son looks at him with an expression half worried, half amused. 'What's up?" he says, us he drops lazily into the chair opposite. "Up!" with cold, sarcastic accents 'nothiug up at all: everything down -at least everything in which you are concerned. 1 have just received another car-load of evidences of your debts, and I am tired of them."
Ah! I am sorry," with exasperating indifference. You will have still more cause for regret perhaps when 1 finally tell you that 1 shall pay tliein no more."
But you won't do that. Errol I kuow you won't." The older man's face softensd. He likes to be called by his name by this young son, only twenty-two years hi? junior. "Now," continued the young fellow, evidently anxious to divert his father's mind, "let me tell you of my spring south, and the royal time we had fishing and hunting about the 'Marshes ol Glynn.' You know Lanier wrote hi? most beautiful poem about those marshes near Brunswick. But before I tell you of the hunting I must tell you of a queer find I made near the marshes." "What was that?" "A child and I brought it back with me." s'i VA Moses in the bullrushes?" ??'f'No, a small Pharaoh's daughter.'1::^ "Good heaven! and you say you brought her hack witlrvou?" "Yes." "And what are you going to do with her?" "Educate her at one of the swellest schools in the 'ity.' "And what then?" *'r "I don't know." "Rear her up according to your ideas:
I suppose that is your notion. Wellk judging by the many women you associate with whose ways seem to suit yotu taste, heaven knows what sort of woman would result from being trained by you from youth. I k.iow." lie said, "what the end of liiis education wijl be. You will marry this girl—this nameless, common lislii.-rmau's daugli-
"That is exactly what I will not do." "It is the sure result of such a freak, and I wish to hear
110
arguments
01
protestations from you upon the subject. I have little to say. 1 have not been positive with yon heretofore, but I think you know when I am iu earn est. I am terribly in earnest now. I leave you this alternative: Give up this mad scheme about this girl and send her away from the city to some institution, and will pay your debts and take you into my business: keep the girl as you propose, and not on'e dime of my money shall ever be given into your hands, not now nor after my dwitli."
The boy arose too. and the resemblance between father and sou was more
striking as the latter's face grew hot and angry. ••Then," said Lysle Errol, "I will decide at once. 1 will educate tlio girl'here in New York, and you can do as yon please about the debts and va4# "money. You might," smiling, ""leave the latter loan orphan asylum." ••And how. pray, do you propose to educate the girl or take care of yourself—you who have never earned a cent during the twenty years of youi life." ••That question heed not concern either one of us. 1 am one of the lilies of the lield, anil I suppose the Lord will array me."
Ills utter coolness fea/.ed his father a little. "You are simply joking." he said. "You will do as 1 wish." "I don't mean to be unpleasant about it. Errol. but 1 will not do as you I wish." ••Then gw." He pointed to the door, sat down in his chair, and took up a newspaper. The young lellow left the room without another word.
W,hen Lysle .Jerome found himself outside of his fathers door, however, lie. dropped his haughty air of independence and bowed his head in thought1 nl scll'-communion. "A pretty bad suap all round," ho said to himself.
,:And
then so unex
pected. Xow what in the mischief am going to do with a child on my hands and not enough even to support myself? I have my profession. The law is such a lucrative profession, too, with no money and no backing."
What he really did do was to go to his apartments and sell out everything therein, lb1 inul a liner collection of curios, paintinirs, and statues than any swell the city..and

that he was dead broke and was going to work he found 110 trouble in disposing of these svmbols of his former wealth. He half a number of handsome diamonds, which Tiffany took back. He gave his debtors mortgages upon the property of his dead mother, which he would come into the next year and the debts about covered it all. Then with the money from his treasures he rented a small office down-town and hung out his shingle, lu this office he slept on abed that was a desk in the day-time and he took his meals at the Dairy Kitchen and his lunch at 5-cent counters. The world was kind to him and his friends took it as a supreme joke that this youug son of a millionaire was seemingly reduced to hard work and poverty. He had plenty of brains and soon his ability gave him a reputation. He put the little girl at an elegant school and when the year was up he paid the bills in full. It was hard self-denial for him at first, but he grew to love and take a pride in his profession. In five years he was making a magnificent income and took his
Id stand in the gay, wealthy world when he felt like it, but his life had grown too broad and serious in its ambitions for him ever to be a devotee of fashion again. He saw the little .girl every now and then and he taught nei to call him "uncle," and as such he was accepted by the teachers and school-girls.
He met his father out quite often and they always greeted each other affably before the world. No one knew save themselves that there had been a dill ence between them.
When the girl reached IS Lysle Jerome found himself iu a state of utter perplexity. What was he to do with her, sure enough? He conldn^t send her back to the fisherman's hut he couldn't set tip an establishment, and adopt her, and bring her out into society.
A happy thought struck him, and resulted in 'his finding himself in Mrs. DeLaucey's lovely morning room, waiting for that leader of fashion to enter. Mrs. DeLancey was a woman that even women couldn't help liking, aud all men, save her homely old husbaud, adored her. Errol himself had been making harmless love to her since his boyhood. She was 35 now, but she didn't look out of the twenties as she entered the apartment in a morning gown of pompadour silk, all frills and laco. "My dear boy," she said tenderly, all her fair, fresh, dimpled face alight, "so glad to see yon. Your visits are to be prized now that they are so rare and you are getting so distinguished." "Maybe," he says uneasily, "you won't be so glad when I tell you what
I want. It lias occurred to me that having no children you'd like to adopt one. I have a girl whom I want you to adopt."
His fair listener looked at him as if she thought him joking or crazy. "I am in earnest." he said seriously, and then he told her the story, and of his present helpless position. "And this," she says, "has been the reason for your sudden going to work and making a man of yourself—rare thing for an only child and rich man's sou to do. tliink you do owe. that girl more than she owes you, and I've half a mind to help you with her "You are au angel," lie saystrratefully, "and I am your slave for lit. if you will take charge of her." "My dear boy, do not declare yourself my slave for life any more rather let me"be a mother to-you and a grandmother to the child of your loptiou. have grown weary of homage. I have been growing desperate recently and threatening myself with entering a convent' or doing the charity act. 1 was just on the verge of slumming when you came. This girl will be a blessed relief. She shall be the orphan child of a dead friend, and I shall interest myself in her success. Of course she is pretty. 1 know you know me too well to' ask mo to chtiperone, an ugly girl. You know I loathe ugly people." "1 think she is very pretty,but 1 will bring her to you lirst and let you see her. Now, about business arrangements. 1 will support her entirely, ami His face llushed hotly. "As
I've heretofore chosen her clothes I really would enjoy helping you select her wardrobe for the debut this winter. Since I ceased being a dude myself my chief pleasure was in having her dressed well. I really think she is the best dressed girl in New York." "You say it, with ihe pride of a mother," she laughed. "What is the girl named?" "Marion Tresvaut."
The woman before him gave a startled movement.and her face turned old and pale. She bit her lip. convulsively. "1 knew a man of thiH. name once," she said, glider her breath, as if to herself: then, rousing herself and rising:. "Go now, dear boy. I've an engagement for lunch. Go, and bring the girl to me tomorrow: and nowgood-bv."
TLie ucxt morning found Jerome with his charge awaiting Mrs. DeLancey in tlio same room. The man regaViled the voting girl with pleased satisfaction as she stood before him, taking in with delightful eyes all the charm and daintiness of the bright room. She was a tall girl,graceful and slender. Her eyes were alternately blue aud gray—very large, and dee])" and dark, with long, black lashes.aud dark, arched brows. The complexion was very dark, and the cheeks were full of rich color, and her hair was black" and silkilv soft. "Slie is such good form.so thoroughly the elegant lady,'1 thought t-he man, with infinite pride. "So glad to see you." said .Mrs. De Lancey as she entered the room and went up to the girl, whoso- back waa half turned toward her. As the girl looked up with a bright smikj of greeting the elder woman cauglit ker breath sharply and turned suddenly pale. "Where clid you come from?" she asked quickly. "What was your father's name? "What was your mother's?
Where did your father come from?" All these questions poured breathless successiou. have mv father's
name," she rc-
•my
plied, 'and he came from the north to the south before I was born. He married my mother in Brunswick. That is all 1 know." 'It is not all I know," replied the woman softly. "I loved your father. 1 was engaged to him when I married my husband. I deceived him basely and ruined both our lives. He went awav, I never knew where. And so I am to take you as an atonement for the past. God has been merciful in giving me such an easy and welcome atonement. Yes, Lysle, I will take this girl as my owu—take her, with all my heart. Her mother could not have "been tenderer to her than I could be."
She leaned and kissed the girl softly, reverently, upon the brow, and took the tiny gloved hand in her own, and from that moment the two women were iu perfect Moving sympathy.
The winter was a gay one, and Errol saw little of his adopted daughter. She was a great social success, and he stood and watched her from afar with infinite pride. He always compelled himself to keep away from her. He was determined not to let his adoption end as his father predicted. "It would be disgustingly commonplace," he said to himself, and then he would turn to match-making for her aud ask himself what man he'd like best to have her marry. The question was unanswered in his mind—perhaps because he grew irritated over it, per haps because he thought no one worthy of her. Anyway, his life seemed awfully unsatisfactory, and lonely. He had* grown out of caring for women general, and this youug girl had been his object of tenderness and solicitude many years. He was getting out ol sorts. He thought huVl go abroad the spring. He needed rest and change—that was all.
As for the girl herself, she seemed perfectly contented and light of heart She had" a world of homage at her feet —with this what girl of 18 is uot hap py? To Mrs. De Lancey she seemed strangely unimpressionable, however One night as they sat in her boudoir discussing, as women will, the various men they knew and their faults and virtues, Mrs. De Lancey suddenly asked: "What do you think of Lysle Errol? I never heard you deliiae an opinion of him." "I don't count him with the men society," she replied, evasively. "But counting him by himself." "It is hard to say what oue think when one thinks so much." Then if determined not to shirk a full answer, she turned her great eyes on the que tiouer, her face flushing hotly as the words came quickly from her lips: "1 think he is the greatest, noblest man 1 ever knew. All men seem insiguiticaul beside him. He is handsomer,stronger, nobler than any other man ever was or ever could be. I can't say all I think but that is a little." "I was'right," said Louise De Lan cey to herself, as she dropped in he downy bed. "They are in love with eacli other."'
The next day when Errol called Mr DeLancey came in lirst. "Do yon know,'' she said, incidental ly, to li'ini. "I believe Marion is goiu to end her season by marrying young Varley." "Why do you think so?" "Oil." well' from things in general. She serins to like liitn very much better than anybody else,and the rich and good-loo'king are generally attractive." "He's a confounded assP '•Why. I heard you praise him." "Oh, as a society fellow lie will do better than most of them, but lie is a dude, and don't know how to earn a dollar." "But lie doesn't need to. He has plenty of them all earned for himself." "That's all a woman asks," lie replied bitterly. "Oh, well, if Marion wants him she can have him. I have never objected to her having anything she wanted yet, and a husband is a necessity to a young woman's social life sooner or later."
Just then Marion entered the room, anil Mrs. De Lancey excused herself on account of an engagement.
Errol took her hand caressingly in his owu, as lie had not done since he began to realize that she was a grown woman.. He drew her down iu the chair by his side. 'Tni'gohig to sav something to YOU that I did uot intend to say when I came," he said, with his eyes bent tenderly upon her. "I don't know why I haven't said it long ago. 1 kuow itjias been in my heart to say for a long time. I love you. I have loved you so long can't remember when it commenced or how. 1 don't want you to feel obliged to love me becausc you think I have been kind to you. You have done everything for me but for you I should never have been anything. My father turned me away penniless because 1 determined to adopt you,and then I had to work for you,and I made a man of myself instead of au idiot— like lots of rich fellows one meets in society." Here he thought bitterly of Vu'ley. "My father is married again now, aud I don't expect to be heir to any of his property," he went on, "but 1 have made a great deal myself, and
Her face "grew pale aud trembled. "Why do you speak of money," she said, -'when you tell me you love me? Do you think I'm thinking of money?" "I thought all women did now." Then turning to tender pleading again: "No. I didn't- really think it of you, only Mrs. De Lancey said you might marry Varley, and it nearly killed me —that was all. I never knew how terrible it would be for you to marry some one else until the idea was suggested to me."
She turned, looked him clearly in the eyes, and said: "I will never marry anybody unless I marry you."
Aud so he took her to heart for all eternity, the child of his adoption.— Maude Andrews in the Atlanta Constitution.
