cresmy complexion. and the perfectly
formed aquiline nose IA face finished
by the smooth. velvety hrows and
black waves of hair. truly she made a
wondrously fan picture to look upon,
sitting upon the wide veranda Of the
Ocean House. her eyes listlessly
watching the siIvery waves dashing
themselves upon the beach, and then
disappearing forever.
Beside her sat Angel Adderley-
small. fair and dainty. with eyes that
looked like the summer sky and hair
like the sun that glistened in it.
Miss Adderley never dreams-never
even watches the waves, and never
likes to see anyone else guilty OF
these faults, and NO she brought
Juno Cathoron from her revery by
the following demand:
Juno Cathoron, for goodness sake
finish that speech you began"
Miss Cathoron's eyes slowly left
the ocean, and fell upon Angel;
seemingly their owaer knew a ter
rible task lay before her. for she
leaned heavily back against tie
foliage Of ivy which stands like a
partition between the, verandas, and
said:
''Were | ever to love a man well
enough to promise to marry him, /
would give him token OF that love
the token being an oddly shaped
locket studded with diamonds-dia
monds that in themselves form an
anchor"
Mis-. Adderley laughed, as none
save Miss Adderley can, and asked

Behind the foliage two men were
standing-two men with but one
thought: Which Of us shall wear
the Cathoron heirloomy" They stood
looking steadily nj each other-one
frankly, earnestly, fearlessly; the
other, with the searching, burning
eyes OF a man who meant &c win.
For they both loved Juno Cathoron
with deep, unfathomable love
