beau ideal you'll never find; your
estimate of a man is too high"
"No, Arthur, it is but great es-
innate, and you have no right to
Judge me harshly, because will not
throw my life away upon some So
ciety man of to-day. Tam young
yet, but twenty you know, and there
is time enough yet. D
eyes, time enough Leone; but 1
agree with Arthur that you have too
high a standard of manhood, ro-
mantle school girl admiration of
qualities that few, if any, may pos

termination and purpose sufficient to
raise him from the level of the hu-

find such one, l will remain Leone
Lightfoot, an old maid fond of tea,
cats and gossip; but l see Charles
has brought my horse around, so an
reU0ir."

Three years before she had been
left, by the death of her parents, un-
der the guardianship of her only
brother, some ten years her senior,
and at his elegant country-seat IN
New YoEk State she had lived the
idol of society, and the pet of Ar
thur Lightfoot and his pretty but
weak little wife. %
| Between the three, Arthur Light
foot, Leone and Mrs. Lightfoot, was
the conversation held that opens this
story, and the cause thereof was the
refusal by Leone of the heart, hand
and fortune of worthy bachelor

"She is incorrigible; the old Judge
would have made her a good hus'
band, y said Arthur Lightfoot to his
wife, after they had seen Leone
mount and dash away at full speed
