noticed that she encourages him all she
can"
Little did Livingston's friends think
while they were discussing him and his
companion so freely that his fate was
even now being decided in very different
manner than they had prophecied.
He had called at the hotel and invited
Miss Snow to go to walk; they had been
walking about in the grounds in silence
for while when Frank said, Miss
Snow-Edith, want to tell you some
thing that has been in my mind for a
long time, and that is that love
you and want YOU to be my own little
wife. | have wandered far and wide,
and have met with many could have

to do anything to prove my love for you,
| would lay down my own life for your
happiness. Edith. my darling, will you
not say that you will be mine:'" and he
placed his arm around her slight form.
For moment she stood silent and
then disengaged herself from his embrace.
Pale and cold as beautiful statue she
stood before him in the moonlight, and
said in cold icy tones:
"Mr. Livingston, tonight YOU ask for
that, which years ago was yours-the
true undivided love Of my heart; ten
years ago loved you as man was never
loved before-nay it was more than
mere love, it was blind worshiping, idol
atry-but was a country girl then, and
of course no, good enough for you. That
love turned to hate the night you told
me you had been indulging in a mere
summer Irritation. That very night ]
vowed would revenge myself on you
and trust have. did not know at

make me independent. but it was so.
Then would have given it all to secure
your love, but now | care no more for
that love than DO for the idlest wind
that blows"
"Oh, Edith" exclaimed the wretched
man, "you have given me reason to
think you loved me.

beautiful woman swept away from him

the above words.
"Oh Edith, did you think was al

A summer Irritation, Was that all
this summers heaven meant TO him,
mere Irritation. 1t might be very
trivial affair to him, but to her it was a
matter of almost life or death. She had
INDUCED in such rose-colored fancics of
going back with him 10 his luxurions
home as his happy bride, and live with
out caring for anything but for him and
his love. You must remember, gentle
reader, tha, Edith was scarcely more
than a child. She had not asked her
self what he, an elegant, wealthy, fiat
tered man of the world, could really care
for her, poor though lovely country
girl. compared with crowds of elegantly
dressed ladies that always gathered
around him, like moths round a light,
whenever he was in the city. She had
not been practiced enough in the arts and
decei,s OF the world to distinguish true
love from mere tlattery
But if she was a child she had a wo
mans pride. All at once It came to her
that Frank Livingston considered her un.
worthy of him. The world seemed turn
ing darS around Eer. Ii was shutting
all that was happiness from her, but she
resolu,ely closed her pale lips and kept
back The words that were struggling for
utterance.

with little yawn, IL suppose 1t Is get
ting late and must see your parents be-
fore retire. AMI SO must say good by
now, and he held out his hand.
For a moment her little cold hand
rested on his. and then feeling that the
next moment would bring passion of
tears. she hurried away to her ON.
Two hours later, in his own room,
Frank Livingston lighted his cigar. seated
himself comfortably in his arm chair and
between the putfs talked TO himself after
this fashion:
Il am very sorry Edith took such vio-
lent fancy 10 me. She id really think
was going to marry her, but of course
that is out of the question. When |
