Edwin Lander paus- ed before this window N Q\v and stood for a long ‘\‘Hfl time apparently lost in you for any charm of your own, or any zrace, or accomplish:nent. They ak ways said that you were rich, and you wondered sometimes if they knew how their words hurt, or how it must secm to a girl to come to believe that there was nothing about her that could win love—inat she must buy it with the money she hated, “Finally you began to realize that your whole nature was being warped by your environment, that your soul was being atrophied, and so you ran away from it all. You persuaded dear old Mrs. Bullion to take you away as her hired companion to a little quiet place, where no one would recognize Gohlen s ot the you. You wore plain little cotton A ki gowns, and snobs who would have filigree bracelets displayed there. At| g, kjad before the rich Miss Maitland last he roused himself with an effort and opened the door. At his en- trance, old Scarvin, the dealer, came smilingly forward rubbing his wrink- led hands. “What may I do for you this after- noon?” he suavely asked, while his| shrewd, beady eyes noted every detail | of his customer's tall, well-dressed snubbed and ignored you, but there was a man who saw the woman's heart under the shabby gown, andgthe wom- an’s brain under the common hat, and he loved you, and asked you to be his wife. “We shall be very poor,” he said, “for I have my way yet io make in the world, but, please God, we shall fight the battle out sh:oulder to shoul- der.” “You remember,” “how, with your head upon his b and his arms around you, you p'auncd out the future—the little house, with the rose above the door, the dear little economies, the struggles, and the final suceess, and you drank deep of the cup of joy, for you knew life had made you rich at last, for you were loved for | yourself alone—loved as a woman would be when a strong marn trembles at her touch, and his smile grows soft and tender only for you. Then at last, came the time when you had to tell him that you were none other than the rich Miss Maitland-—" “And he went white as death while he listened, and said that had he known it he would never have asked you to be his wife,” interrupted Pride. “But it was then too late triumph- antly cried her Heart; “he loved you, and nothing—not money, nor position, nor anything, could change that. You came home,” continued her Heart, “and your worldy wise uncle and aunt ‘l should like to look at something that would be suitable as a Christ- mas present for a lady,” Lander an- swered briskly, but a keen observer would have noticed that his cheerful- ness was forced, and in his eyes was a look of utter weariness, “Certainly, certainly, right over here,” said Scarvin, leading the way to a case where some quaint necklaces were displayed, "“This amethyst cne went on her ITeart, 5t, ceefed] e %, TRecet e el that he was going to marry you for your money. You did not believe them, |l)ut, by and by, as you plunged into the old life, with its sordid strivings, and selfishuess, and disbelief in all that is high and true, the old distrust began to creep up and poison life again.” “He should have trusted your love,” said Pride; “he should have known that you werc merely playing.” “His life,” said her Heart, sadly, “had not taught him how to play.
