But Percy Halford was ‘proud, poor and gifted. He had his way to make in the world, and he could not afford to indulge in the pleasures _of society till he had earned ‘or him- ' selt a position among men, and he had politely, but decidedly refused all invitations to nunglein the so- ciety of the village. When Maud St. Leslie first came to Mayton, she returned from a visit with her cousin ene day, and made many inquires concerning Percy Halford, whom she had seen in the village. She remarked to her uncle: “A finer leoking manI never saw. He has the head and forehead of a statesman. Do, uncle, invite him to call.’” “Yes,”’ replied Judge Gray, *‘he is a gifted man, and one destined to make his mark; but there is no use an asking him to call. He is such a recluse that he will accept no invita- tions. I haye urged him, again and again, without avail, However, I’li make anether attempt.”’ And he did so. Again he invited Percy Halford to partake of the hos- pitality of his house. For weeks Percy had seen the bright intellectual face of Maud St. Leslie as she drove or rode through the village, and he coula_ not help admirmg the well-turned faultless figure the well-poised head, and the taste—the exquisite taste—she al- ways dispiayed in dress; more than once he felt inclined to break his resolution and accept. the invitation “so cordially extended to him by fudge Gray to call. For what man could, day atter day, meet such a lovely woman as Maud St. Leshe, and not desire to make her acquaintance? It was a pleasant afternoon in June, Percy had turnedthe kev in his office door, and sautered eff to the green old woods for a stroll. He | was leisurally returning tewards the | village when a lady’and gentleman on horseback rode swiftly past him. ‘Twas Maud St. Leslie and her cousin Harry. He gazed admuringly upon the gracefully posed figure of Maud, until a turn in the road hid her from ‘Beautiful, indeed, but no doubt asvain and heartless as fair—the prd: and pet of fashion halls, the idol of brainless floppish men, the | envy of gay butterfly women of the world. Ne, no, Percy Halford, do not allow yourself to be caught in such a net.”’ Just then the sun’s rays fell upon ed with a thousand rays. He stoep- | and she loeked up archly in his face | And when October bride, and Maud told him then that i she was wealthy, that they would not : be compelled to hre as closely as he | something in the road which glisten- | had dreamed it would be necessary, | Maud St. Leslie was surprised and pleased when the servant an- nounced that Mr. Halford wasin the parlor and wished to see her. As she entered the parlor Percy arose. -**Mr. Halford, I aim pleased to see you. My uncle has repetedly invited you to call, I believe and we almost dispaired of seeing you. Pray be seated.”’ 3 “Thank you,’, said .f still standing. “I called, Miss, St, Les- lie, te return to you a asure you lost this afternoon, and whichd was fortunate enough te find;’’ and he handed her the ring. Tears filled Maud St. Leslie’s eyes as she took the ring from his hand. Mr. Halford, I cannot tell you how glad I am te recover this little bauble. It was a gift trom mv aunt after whom I was named—a dying gift, which I have ever valued high- ly. “‘WhenI discovered the less, I sent Harry back to hunt tor it; out he returned unsuccessful, and you have placed me under life-long ot- ligations to you. It was Percy Halford’s intention to return the ring, and then seek his little room, but when he entered his chamber the village clock struck the hour of eleven. "Time passed on, and the acquarnt- ance thus commenced soon ripened into intimacy. There was so much that was congenial between the two young people. Maud could so well appreciate and encourage the aspiratious and persevering Percy, and Judge Gray was not surprised when his niece, one evening in September, cutered his library and said: “Uncle, how would you ike to marry ?”’ ‘*T would be pleased to see you married, Maud, provided you mary a man worthy of you—-one who could appreciate you for your worth —not a fortune hunter.”’ **Tis such aone I think I have found. Percy Halferd has asked me tobecome his wite. He does not know that I have a fortume in my ewn right. He is poor now, but he will not always be poor. He must succeed in rising in the world, and he has se cempletely wor my heart that I fear I shail be compell- ed te say yes to his proposition.”’ me **I am rejoiced to hear you speak as youde.
