tuoas drawing rpom On Telegraph
Hill, with some capltal limitations Of
the VOICES 81 certain popular actors
aud San Francisco literary people
and bonanza grandees. He vas ell
egan,ly upholstered. and was a fine
fellow, barring a trifiing cast in the
eye. He seemed very jovial, bat
neverless he kept his eye On the
door with an expectancy and uneasy
watchfulenss. By-and-by a nobby
lackey appeared and delivered a
message to the mistress, who nodded
rnderstandingly. That seemed to
a,,,,. the thing for Mr.. Burley; his
.; .;.ay ',s;.v ~, -eased, little by little,
and a detected lo..- % % . s;n;star r
into one of his eyes a- ''''',
one into the other.
The rest of the company departed
in duo time, leaving him with the
mistress, to whom he said:
"There is no longer any question
about it. She avoids mo. She con-
tinually excuses herself. If I could
see her, if could speak to her only
a moment-but this suspense
"Perhaps her seeming avoidance
is mere accident, Mr.. Burley. Go
to the small drawing room up stairs
and amuse yourself q moment. I
will dispatch a household order that
is on my mind, and then ] will 60 to
her room. Without doubt she will
be persuaded to see YOU"
Mr.. Burley went up stairs, intend
ing to go to the small drawing room,
but as he was passing Aunt Susan's"
private parlor, tho door of which
stood slightly ajar, he heard q JOY
GUS laugh which he recognized; SO
without knock or announcement he
stepped confidently in. But before
he could make his presence known
he heard words that narrowed up his
soul and chilled his young blood.
He heard voice say:
Darling, it has comep
Then. he heard Rosannah Ethel
ton whose back was turned to him,
say:
$50 has yours, dearest! |
He saw her bowed form bend
lower; he heard her kiss something,
not merely once, but again and
again! His soul ragged within him.
The heart breaking conversation
went on
Rosannah, I knew you must be
but this is dazzling, this
is intoxicatingw
Alonzo, It is such happiness to
hear you say it. I know it is not
true, but I am so grateful to have
you think it is, nevertheless! l knew
you must have noble face, but the
grace and majesty of the reality beg
gar the poor creation of my fancy"
Burley heard that rattling shower
of kisses again.
Thank you, my Rosannah! The
photograph flatters me, but you
must not allow yourself to think OF
that. Sweetheart
YES, Alonzo."
II am 50 happy. Rosannah."
"Oh, Alonzo. none that have
gone before knew what love was;
noee that come after me viii ever
know shat happiness H. l Cost IN
