conquered him completely
One pleasant summer evening be
strolled down by the river, ana nm
expectedly came upon Hattie Roy
ston sitting silently beside the old
tree that grew upon the waters edge
She started to her feet and would
have run away, but be gently de-
tanned her with his arm.
"Why do you always avoid me,
Hattie ~ be asked, trying to look
into her averted face.
She made no reply, and only turn
ed farther away from him.
do you then dislike me so much,
Hattie ~ be asked reproachfully.
The look she flashed upon him
was 8 direct denial of the charge,
and yet she would not speak.
IL love you SO dearly and SO ten
derly that my whole life must be a
sadone if you do not love me in re-
turn. You do not wish my life to be
that, do you Hattie? p
The answer came so slow and
faint that be had to bend his face
close down to hear the soft little
whisper.
"No; not that!"
lie bent so low that his face al
most touched hers, and then he saw
it was rosy red, with now and then
a tear sparkled upon it like a dia-
mond. He thought she was panied
and in distress. II am so sorry,
Hattie. l did netmean to give you
pain"
She stopped him with a little fn-
ger pressed upon his lips and now
she looked up, grown holder in her
joy.
Can you not see that 1 am only
happy? that | am CRYING for that
very happiness?" and she smiled
lovingly through her tears.
You love me then, dsfling?" he
asked as be drew her closer to him,
and bent down to look within her
eyes. "Yes, yes! / have loved you
so much ever since

she paused in sweet confusion, and
her Old shyness returned.
Ever since the day you fell out
there in the road and we brought you.

said Farmer Royston when Sidney
asked him for his prize and the good
wife spoke likewise.
And so the days rolled rapidly
along toward the one appointed for
the wedding. And on that very
morning a letter came from the alb
sent uncle. 1t was as follows:
DEAR SIDNEY:
THE speculations
that we thought had ruined you
have turned out splendid. / have
in my possession over u hundred
and seventy FIVE thousand dollars,
all yours. Come and take possession
at once"
Then followed his uncie's address
and signature.
Not until after they were married
did he show the letter to his bride.
She rejoiced at his good fortune-for
his sake-and said you were poor,
Sidney, when / married you; so you
see | loved you for yourself alone"
His rich friends would have come
back to him, but they found no well
