CHAPTEfi I.

Miss

Hermoneieux is a great puzsle to

me. What is she going to do I think sometimes of asking her, but she would not be apt to take me in her confidence. Things have certainly reached a point between Warrington aud herself when ahe will be called upon to make up her mind what course she will pursue.

I have certainly never seen anybody who interested me as much. I should not call her exactly pretty—at least a stranger might not think so. She is a ereole of about twenty, tall, rather too slender, perhaps, with brown hair worn low on the forehead, blue eyes, and a •eiy fair complexion. Her mouth, however, is certainly exquisite, and she has away of smiling faintly with a shy side ook whiah is really fascinating.

It is a pity she is so great an heiress— that chills one. A good girl ought to be poor, in order to find out who really loves her. How can she know when she is worth a million

She and her cousin, Miss Arthur, are from Northern Atlanta, and have spent the Summer with Mr. Fenton. He is a princely old merchant who has retired from business, built a very beautiful villa adjoining my tumble-down place, and the young ladies are his relatives. They came in June, and it is now October. I believe they are about to return home. Well, they will haven great deal to laugh about, as their visit has proved something of a comedy.

Miss Arthur told me everything. She isa small brunette,.with a plump figure, black eyes and fond of laughter which seems to be inexhaustible. The spirit of frolic and practical joking is her great characteristic, and on leaving Alabama •he induced her cousitt to make an absurd agreement. Miss Hermoncieux, the real heiress, was to pass for the poor cousin, aud Miss Arthur, the poor cousin, was to pass for the real heiress.

Thenoe arose complications. Miss Arthur, in her secret delight, received marked attention from gentlemen, and Miss Hermoncieux was comparatively neglected. Mr. Fenton and his wife must have been taken into,the conndence of the young ladles but then the smiling old couple rarely mingle with their gay young visitors, and the farce thus went on \intll about the middle of August. Then the ruse was discovered by some accident, and evwrybody laughed, especially Miss Arthur, who is accustomed to say that all men are mercenary. Miss Hermoncieux grew much more popular, and Miss Arthur's friends cooled—among the rest, Mr. Warrington. He had apparently been very much devoted to Miss Arthur, and now became as devoted to her cousin.

T. Herbert Warrington, as he signs himself, is an elegant fellow, about 35 years of age, with light hair, a curling mustache and a manner full of grace aud ease. He always dresses in the height of fashion, and wears kid gloves even when he in driving his haudsome drag. As he passes behiud his glossy bays, with his liveried groom in rear, he has a gay word for everybody, cries, "How goes it, my dear fellow?" and takes off his hat to the ladles with the perfection of grace. Unfortunately the state of bis aflfiire is the subject of common talk. He has nearly run through a fine property, is in the condition known as "hard upi" and makes no secret of the fact that he is looking for a rich wife.

It is not known whether he proposed to Miss Arthur or not it is eertain that they.were extremely intimate. When the fact was ascertained that Miss Hermoncieux was the real heiress, he laughed louder than the rest, declared the joke excellent, remained on the beet terms with Miss Arthur, but gradually drifted in the direction of Miss Hermoncieux As the days went on his attention grew more marked, and now there is no longer any doubt. My friend Wartingtou is going to ask the young heires* to marry him, and what pussies me is to know what she has decided to do.

CHAP1ER II.

This evening I had quite an adventure. I was returning home a little before sunset, and on the country road winding through the red foliage of a woods met Miss Hermoncieux.

Sbe was riding without escort, and seemed to have lost her road, which proved to be the feet. "I am very glad I have met yon," ahe said, smiling, and holding out a small gauutleted nand. "1 have missed my way."

And she explained that she had ridden oat for exercise, confiding in her knowledge of the neighborhood, bat had mistaken the road. "It Is fortunate that I met you, as a storm is coming up," I said. "I will escort yoa home oy the nearest route.'*

And I rode on beside her. She was quite charming in her dark habit, and her ride had given ber what ber complexion wanted. Her cheeks were rosy and her blue eyes bright with the health-

^Yotfare going Isa'd. "Yes I am rery sorry," ahe replied. "Your visit has been pleasant, I hope?" "Very pleasant indeed."

We baa left the woods and watered the open country. On a hill to the left rose my delapfdated establishment. Agate led into the field in front. Of the two globes with spiral carvings once surmounting the poet, one had fallen. I thought ane nouosd It, and said, rather ruefully: "See the oonseqnenos of bad management. That Is my boose yonder, a»d it no better than my gate."

Aasd*

"It is a very line old place." "It is a very poor one, and very lonely, too. I am entirely by myself there, and can't say I enjoy it." "It is a pity."

Her head drooped, and she looked absently toward the house as we passed. Nothing was simpler than her speech, and yet a great tbrou came to my heart. Why do women make theee speeches nsless they are blind?—which I do not think they are. "A man's lot is not of his own making I said. "One is blessed wiih a home circle of smiling faces, and another is not. It is rather bard, bat I do not complain." "I am so sorry."

For half a second she looked sidewise at me with ber faint smile and sad eyes. Then she rode on without speaking.

I was anxious that she should reach home. The storm which had been brewing all the afternoon was about to burst, and the blank clouds driving Eastward were seamed by lightning flashes. -Yoa will be drenched unless yoa gallop,'11 said. "Nothing would please me more," she exclaimed, laughing. "We went on at full speed, trying to outrun the storm. It was iir possible to do so. Half a mile from Mr. Fenton's villa it burst in all its fury, and the horse which Miss Hermoncieux rode grew terrified at the lightning. The rain dashed in oar faces as we went on at full speed, and though I could see that the young lady was an excellent horsewoman, her frightened animal was almost beyond ber control.

Three hundred yards from the gate of the villa occurred the accident I spoke of. A tree had been blown down across the road, add Miss Hermoncieux horse attempted to clear it. In leaping, her girth broke, but-1 was close to her, and caught her as she was falling, tor a moment I held ber in my arms, and by a natural impulse sne had thrown her own arm around my neck.

One feels a queer sensation embracing a

young

lady

in

so unexptcted a man­

ner. It amount)* to nothing, of course, since she would clasp a footman in the same affectionate fashion. But I did net remember that and the young girl I held to my heart, ber cheek touching my own for an instant, was Miss Hermoncieux

The rest of the adventure was rather posiac. The young lady's horse had darted from rnder her, and I dismounted quickly, giving ber my arm. She was laughing, though the rain was beating upon ber, and the furious gu®ta blowing her brown hair about. I had fallen and covered ber shoulders, and as she dropped her riding hat, her head W»M unprotected. Her wet dress clung to her person, and although she suggested the idea of a naiad, and a very charming one. ... ,, "There is nothing to do but walk home," I said. "You don't seem to mind it in the least." "I don't mind it at all," she said laughing. And putting on her hat, which I picked up, she took, my arm. aud we walked to the villa where we were received with exclamations and every evidence of delight.

I came bo-oe wheo the storm lulled a little, and have amused myself by writing this page in my journal. I wonder whether she felt the least bit of the aui* tation. /certainly did when her arms were around my neck and her cheek touched mine? '.,,v

IS%kr#CHAFFER

t,

I rode over to Mr. Fenton this morning. As I came in sight of the old merchant's villa I was struck with the contrast between the Jiouse and grounds and my own. Mr. Fenton has, amused his leisure in lavishing money on the place, and nothing could be neater or more attractive. I think envy was left out of my composition, but I remember thinking: "The owner of a fine establishment is fortunate. If he falls ia love with a rioh girl, nobody can suspect his motives."

I was riding up to the gate leading into the grounds, when Warrington passed In his diag with his superb bays and livery footman. His appearance was respleudeut, and his handsome mustache curled with enjoyment as he cried. "How goes it, my dear fellow Then the shining drag went by like a flash aud disappeared through the tall gateway.

Warrington bad evidently come to call on Miss Hermoncieux, and the fact was annoying. I should be de (rop, and it is not good to be de trop. I hesitated, resolved to put oft my visit, rode back slowly for a miie, aud then, impatient at my own cowardice, returned and rode into the grounds of the villa just in time to see Miss Hermoncieux and Warrington disappearing on a stroll.

Miss Arthur was sitting in a rustic armchair on the veranda. "Do come and talk to me!" she exclaimed, holding out ber hand and

Pointing

to a chair near her. "Poor

lr Tristan, I am your only resource. The gallant Sir Warrington has borne off the prise."

I was accustomed to Miss Arthur's vivacity and plain-speak, so I said, "Well, the prize, I suppose, is willing

Miss Arthur looked at me satirically, her black eyes sparkling. "What actors you gentlemen are! You affect indifference, and yet I found out ycur secret a month ago." "My secret?" "Yoa are in love witn Elsie Hermoncieux. You are blushing. I was certain of it." "What an idea!" I stammered. "It would be too stupid." "I don't see that it would be so stupid. Elise is the very best girl in the world, and not positively frightful. Mr. Warrangton is enslaved, you see, and you know he is a gentleman of taste."

I was entitled, 1 thought, to my revenge, and I said: "Is he?" Well, I heard he was a devoted friend of yours."

Miss Arthur colored a little, and I detected a larking expression of satire on her red lipe. "Certainly he is a devoted friend, and how charming it will be to have him in the family." "Arethey to be married? When is it to take place

Miss Arthur looked at me for a moment without speaking, and theii said: "Will

yoa

answer a plain question? I

dare yoa, as the children say." "I'll not 'take a dare.' Yes I will answer it." ... "Well, why dont yoa tell Elise?" "Tell her "That yoa love the very ground she walks on "What an absurdity!" "No I am not at all absurd," ahe said. "If there were any doubt you would not blush so. Do TOO know, I like to see people blush It is so honest! I really take an interest in you. It is surprising, but you pay me just as much attention as you did when you supposed I wasagreat beireea." ••Do you think that so astonishing?" "It has, at least, the charm of contrast others have not been so disintererted. It is strange, but you and I are Just as good friends as before, and I think Mends ought to give each other advise." "Certainly." "Well, shall I giv«youMne?n

TBRKE HAUTE SATURDAY

"Tell Elise. She doesnt suspect it in the least. A brave man ought to hare courage to risk his fate." 8be spoke earnestly now, and I felt an impulse to speak as earnestly in reply.

Miss Autbur," I said, "did you ever reflect bow unpleasaat it is to be poor? It is what the French call a betise." "That depends. Health and friends are the greatest souree of happiness, and I don't believe it is good for anybody to be very rich." "I agree with you and yet, suppose a man with just enough to five apon falls in love with a woman of large fortune— what is he to do "And be suspected of thinking of her money and not of herself No, I thank you." "And that is the resson you dont pay your address to Elise, though yoa area victim!" There was something irresistible in her frankness "I did not know it until the other evening—it is sbsard bat I did not." "The other evening, when yoa rode home with ber, and so gladly rescued her, and embraced her in that highly improved manner! She was shocked. She told me all about it." "And made me a laughing sicck, I suppose. Well, I can't help that." "She did not laagh at yoa in theleaat. And so that is the reason yoa are so grum Sir Tristan, the sad knight, allows the gay Sir Warrington to win the princess because he is afraid of being misunderstood." "If you choose. But I must ask one favor—that you will not speak to Miss Hermoncieux of this conversation." "I promise. So Elise's wealth is yonr only obetacle?" "You are terribly exaoting in your questions." "There, I will not ask yoa any more now it wonld be qaite unnecessary. You have told me all without telling me anything, and now I mean to tell you something." "It will interest me, I hope." "You are certain to be deeply interested

Do relieve my susponse." "Why not? It will make yoa happy. But here is Elsie. She and Mr. Warrington are ooming back. I wonder if he has—well, popped." "Yoa have time to tell me what will interest me so much." "No come back to-morrow," she said, in a low tone. "Look! something has certainly happened. Mr. Warrington is in the highest spirits."

Miss Hermoncieux and her companion came to the portico, aud held out a small hand, smiling shyly, after her fashion. General conversation followed,and then, fiuding that my friend Warrington was resolved to remain, I rode back home.

Vw-i&iii CHAPTER IV. What was Miss Arthur going to tell me? I was Immensely puzzled. Attbe end of an hour's reflection aud speculation I could not imagine what she meant.

I was seated on my old' porch after breakfast, reading a newspaper, when Warrington drove upand,squeezing my hand warmly, said be bad come to smoke a cigar. He presented his elegant case and we were soon seated, smoking fraternally. "I dropped in to see you, old fellow," he said, "to tell you that my affair yonder i« about arranged." "Your affair—with Miss Hermoneieux

He nodded, with an air of much en--jovrnent. Well," I said, "I congratulate you. When is it to take place

Warrington looked at me curiously. "I thought you would be more cut up," be said. "A niilliwn is a pretty figure, and doji't turn up every day." "My dear Warrington," I said, let me give you a piece of advice don't refer so publicly to Miss Hermoncieux's money if you do, people will say that you are thinking of that rather than of the voung lady.* "Well," he said, with a gay laugh, "you are right—human nature is uncharitable. I don't mind saying that a young lady's bank account is an important item to a fellow so deuced hardup as I am but in the case of a girl as lovely as Miss Hermoncieux, that dwindles into insignificance." "A noble sentiment!" "Well, old fellow, I see yoa are cut up, after all. I am sorry, but can't help it. I thought I would call on my way to the villa to tell you how things stood, as it is b«st to avoid misunderstanding, and you aie too honorable to—well, put any trouble in the way of a friend." "Put any trouble?" "Well, I neard you were a little soft on Miss Hermoncieux yourself. I can understand that—and as lona as the way was clear you would be justified in going ahead but—"

Warrington paused, laughing and looking at me significantly. I returned the look and said: "Are you engaged to be married to Miss Hermoncieux, Warrington

He laughed again, but not quite so naturally. The question evidently took him bv surprise. "Well—that is—not precisely engaged, my dear fellow—but—you understand."

It was my time to laugh now. "I see your little affair is not exactly arranged," I said, "though I thought it was. from your appearance after that promenade. But set your mind at rest. I have at present no intention of asking Miss Hermoncieux to marry me. She is much too rich, and I am mach too poor— unequal anions are always unfortunate."

Warrington's expression indicated immense relief. My dear fellow, I honor your motives!" he exclaimed. "I wish I could imitate you. But, you see, I am obliged to disregard these nice sentiments not that Miss Hermoncieux's money is what I am thinking of—you won't do me that injustice. It is only— well, an additioncU attraction." "I have no doubt it is," 1 said, laughing rather raefally. "I see yoa are not so cat up. Why not promise to be my best man "We'll talk of that—there will be time, I snpposQ. I think you said yoa were not engaged. Why didnt you propose on that walk? Then all would now be arranged."

Warrington laughed rather uneasily. "I thought I would, but felt a little afraid. Bat I assure you, my dear boy, I approached the subject, and I think I

say—that

I sat reflecting for more than an hour on this Angular interview. Then I mounted and rode to superintend the draining of a piece of meadow. I had determined not to go near Mr. Fenton's since I had given Warrington a sort of promise, I would keep my promise thoroughly.

A week afterward I received a line from Miss Arthur which induced me to ride to the villa. "We are going home." said the note, "and you seem resolved not to come and say good-bye."

drawing-room at Mr. Fenton's conversing with Miss Arthur. "I have abetter opinion of you," she said, "than to think you would forget your friends," "I have been engaged draining my land." I replied, rather drearily, "and, besides, I made a promise." "A promise?" "To Sir Warrington, as you call him the successful chevalier. I suppose his prospeets are as encouraging as ever and he is here occasionally "Occasionally He is here morning, nooa and night. Bdt what promise did you make him "I am not certain I ought to do so but I will do so if you will regard it as confidential. He told me of his affair, as he calls it, and I engaged not to interfere with him. I hope you understand "Yes I understand. But yoa really are too absurd. I Will speak plainly— I hate ceremony. I am your friend, and teddle. I choose to mc Why don't you ask Elise to marry yon She might."

What did Miss Arthar mean I looked at her, bat she was laaghiog. "I have

told you why I do not," I

said. "Since you speak plainly, 1 reply distincily." "Because she is wealthy "Yes." "And you are not?" "Yes." "Well, as this is the only obstacle— Elise's money—I have the pleasure of informing you that it no longer exists. This a fine sentence, but expresses the idea." "No longer exists "I see you have not heard the news. Here is something which will save me the trouble of explaining."

She opened a portfolio lying upon an old secretary in one corner of the draw-ing-room, and took out a letter, wbioh, she unfolded and presented to me.

It bore the New Orleans postmark, with the name and address of a legal firm in the upper corner, and its contents were melancholy.t By the defalcation of Miss Harmoncieux's former guardian and late trustee, Mr. ber entire property had been swept away, together with large assests of the bank of which Mr. nad been cashier. He had left the city, and an examination of his papers bad revealed Miss Hermoncieux's misfortune. The legal firm wrote to ascertain whether she desired to to have proceedings taken to punish the defaulter.

I dropped the letter with no regret at all, but a great feeling of joy. "I see you are deeply affected by poor Elise's loss," $aid Miss Arthur, laughing. "I sympathize with her sincerely." "And are not in the least sorry. It is hartless to me to laugh, but, the obstacle of a certain proceeding on the part of a certain Don Quixote, or Sir Tristan, if you prefer, is now removed." "But where is the happy knight, Sir Warrington I said. "He has nflt been here since we told him the news. And yet I am sure he is even sorrier than you are."

I was in a maze. "So Miss Hermoncieux itapenniless!" I said. "I sincerely feel for her." "I don't think she made it. She is a brave girl, and as cheerful as before." "What are her plans, may I ask "They are undecided—the news was se sudden. Elise is very fond of children, and I think she would really enjoy the life of a teacher." "That is an honorable occupation. But—" I stopped, and then added, as composedly as I could. "I suppose she will marry now, and Mr. Warrington?" "Miss Arthur laughed in her satrical manner* "Poor thing! I am afraid she will not have an opportunity," she said. "An opportunity "Mr. Warrington is said to be unwell —indisposed, if you prefer the term. He has just sent a line expressing his regret at being unable to call before our departure."

I looked at Miss Arthur. Her expressions of satire was overpowering. "I fear the intelligence of poor Elise's misfortune has affected his sensitive feelings, and occasioned his indisposition, "she added. "A heartless speech!" I said, laughing, and feeling quite overjoyed. "When do you go?" "In three days." "Without an escort?" "I am afraid so. Mr. Warrington was to have accompanied us, but his indisposition will ttardly permit it." "If you will allow me, I will take his place." "With a great pleasure—I can speak for myself. I think, however, it would be only polite to ask Elise. I hear her coming down stairs. I don't think she knows you are here. Will you excuse me for a moment? I have left my spool—"

And Miss Arthur vanished. As she disappeared from the drawing-room she glanced over her shoulder, and an expression of great pleasure and amusement overspread ber face.

A moment afterward Miss Hermoncieux entered, and I ct»uld see by her quick blush that my presence was a surprise to her. She advanced a few steps, hesitated, and I terminated her hesitation. Taking her little white hands in my own I covered them with kisses, and said: "I have heard what has happened, and will not pretend I am sorry. I can tell you how dearly I love you now. I came near telling you in that storm, when I held you in my arms."

CHAPTER VI.

I have -accompanied Mips Hermoncieux and Miss Arthur to Alabama, snd my marriage with the first mentioned young lady will take place this evening.

My friend Warrington waa at the station—a gallant man to the last—to bid the young ladies good-by, and I had not the heart to inform him of the contents of a note written me by Miss Arthur after my conversation with her and the fortunate interview with Miss Hermondenx. 'J

MiRS Arthur said in her note: "Elise has told me, and I congratulate you you are the very persqn I should have picked out for a cousin. "Poor, Mr. Warrington! I was quite fond of him bat then he cut my ac-

forgot to say that your sym­

You have the misfortune to be engaged to be married to an heiress in spite of yourself. Try and endure it, Hkft a brave man, for the sake of Elise!

As Elise prefers the old house with the ball Mien from the gate-post, we have come home to live and be happy in a quiet and contended way.

Warrington frequently dines with us, and is as gay and lively as ever but I think he sighs sometimes, and regrets that he Is not the husband of the former Miss Hermoncieux.
