(Copyright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub, Co) O, I will never consent—never! ask I wonder you Have you absolutely no family is no ‘but’ about it, The Du Ponts are of the iu French nobility, and my family is one of the best 1h .teryland, Yet you actually ask me to consent to 30 ir marrying Tom O'Leary, as if you expected me to lo 80." “Mother, Eugene’—. Mrs. Du Pont's voice softened, as {t always did at the name of her deat boy, so dearly loved, so deeply regretted, but she interrupted her daughter impa- tently all the same. “Yes, I know he and Tom were good friends; I'm not denying that Tom O'Leary is an excellent young man in his place, which I don't want to be that of my eon-in-law. Why, Martha, think of the pit whence he was digged. His father began at the bot- tom of the ladder, literally; he owns to having been a bricklayer, and, for aught I know, may have been hod-carrier. I know he is rich now, but money sn't everything. h, mother, how can you? As if I thought of the I love Tom with all my heart." Words failed Mrs, Du Pont for a full minute or we. She merely looked at Martha in silence which 0. ‘Then she sald, more gently: ha, how can you? I never expected this, or I would have set my face against "Gene's ‘Tom here so much. But tt simply never oc- tome that a Du Pont could think of marrying qeciry. And you leas* of all. Angels and min- #t grace defend us!" Had Martha Du Pont been a less dutiful daughter she might have suggested that nothing less could reasonably have been expected. Her only brother and Tom O'Leary had been chums through the grammar schoo) and the high school, and MRS. DU PONT’S DIAMONDS. BY MRS. MOSES P. HANDY. when Mrs. Du Pont taxed her slender resources t6 the utmost to send Bugene to college Tom O'Leary went, too. ‘When the two boys graduated, Bugene with high honors and Tom with credit, young O'Leary naturally decame a partner In his father’s business, and It was to please him that the old man gave Eugene a lucra- lve position in the counting-room of O'Leary & Bon, contractors and bullders. For @ little it- seemed as though Mrs. Du Pont's hard struggle with adversity was ended. She even talked of giving up the boaniing-house which she had kept successfully since her husband's death. She had an infinitesimal income, and upon thet, to- gether with Eugene's salary, the three might Hve in economical comfort. Then came the deluge. Bugene coptracted malignant typhoid, and from the outset there was little or no hope of his recovery. Mrs, Du Pont had no thought, no time, for anything but her won; it was a relief rather than otherwise when the boarders left in a bocy. All that money could do was done in vain. Eugene's death was a more terrible blow to his mother than that of her husband had been. A devoted wife, Mrs, Du Pont was an adoring mother, and she was numb until the sharp exigencies of life roused her to action. The world goco on, whoever dies. For some time things went fairly well. A new house was taken; many of the old boarders, and some new one@, came to fill it; Mrs. Du Pont was kept too busy to be altogether miserable. Moreoyor, the new landlord, reputed a hard man, took a str fancy to, her; he was liberal as to re- pairs, lenient as to rent. “SHE HAS PROMISED TO BH MY WIFE AS SOON AS YOU ARB WILLING." THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1903. a loud guitaw. “Bhure, and if the luck boulds out loike this, it's mililonaires we'll be, me bhey, and not so long first, ayther. You'd detther be after getting you a wife. I know the gurl you have your eye on, and I loike her. She's purty, and a rale leddy. As ta money, you've When, on the 1st of January following these events, the books of O'Ivary & Son were balanced. Mr. O'Leary, sr., slapped O'Leary, jr, on the back, with plenty of that fur both av ye, and her mither into the bargain. but, thin, shure, ar’ she has a right to be. ‘The ould leddy is a bit ethuck up, mebbe, with us,” ghe told Tom, “and I cannot leave her now, when she ts so broken up about ‘Gene's death.” Loyal-hearted Tom agreed to wait; he had full faith in his swoetheart and a high respect for her mother. As for Martha, she trusted to time, alded by Tom's sterling worth, to conquer Mrs, Du Pont's opposition to the match. ‘There had been no signs of weakening, when, some weeks Jater, she wan darning table linen one afternoon In the amall sitting-room shared by herself and her mother. To her Mra, Du Pont entered, wringing her hands, incoherent and hysterical, It was seyoral minutes before Martha was able to grasp the situation. The accommodating landlord a private and personal reasons for his unwonted kindness. “Ho asked me to marry him," sobbed Mrs. Du Pont “1 was iadignant. I don't know what [ sald, but I made him angry. He has gone away furious. He says he will eelze the furniture and turn us Into tho street unless the money {s paid within three days, We owe him three months’ rent and I haven't $20 on hand. What shall we do?” and with that she wept afresh, while Martha dropped the tablecloth which was In her lap and embraced her mother. “He will surely do the worst he can; think of the scandal, the disgrace, oh, Martha, Martha, what shall we do?” Martha constdered. ‘He shall do nothing of the kind,’ she sald, p tively. "You will sell your diamonds and pay him. “Oh, no, Martha, I can't. They were my mother’s and her grandmother's before her, and I have always meant them for you. “Never mind me, little mothy ; there Isn't anything else we can do, and It Is loy better than being sold out. You know Mr, Garg Stone sald they were worth over $500. He ough/ <o be willing to give us $400 for them, or maybe he will lend you the $20, with the diamonds as security.” Mr. Stone was a leading Jeweller who, with his wife, had boarded with Mrs. Du Pont for years, until they aut up housekeeping on their own account. Mrs. Du Pont dried her tears and looked up, en- couraged, at Martha, who was already dressing to go S50 Tom, who had been in love with Martha ever since he knew what love was, If not longer, thanked his father and spoke Even though the man who loves you, and whom you love, may frankly admit that you are too good for him, it is not easy to inform him that your rela- tives are of the same opinion. So Martha tempo- rized. “Mother 4s too independent to be willing to live “You may go and ask him, Martha. He knows us so well that i think he wii! lend us the money, and if he don't" — “We will sell them,” finished Martha, and in less tkme than !t takes to tell she was on her way down- town with the Jewels. t« ‘The special Providence which watches over tru®, lovers, or dutiful daughters, or both, sent O'Leary to the street corner at the exact moment when Martha stepped from her car. f “Where are you going, my pretty maid?’ he gayly, then grew gr ie the matter, Martha?

So it came to pass that Mrs, Du Pont, walting fipon | the tenter-hooks of suspense, was astonished to .s6e Martha enter, followed closely by Tom O'Leary, “Well? she asked, sharply, looking from one to the other, and back again to Martha. you that she has promised to be my wife as sooh as you are willing.
