MIRIAM.
The Romance Of HGathGrlGigh Hall.

Cor WRIGHT, 1889.

threw open the door of his lodgings, and
entered with his precious burdens wen,

Heatherleigh find. ,'If had not met that

With this timely conclusion he fastened the
door, and, returning TO the table, spread out
the contents of the three dusty little boxes
on the green chintZ cover.

apologized to a hint of conscience, sand
Miriam wouldn't care.n
The two little ebony cases contained
Jewels also, as well as the more pretentlous
casket, but whether they were the property
of Miriam or not he had no means of find
ing out. They were very costly, however,
and must have been priced very much by
the happy possessor, whoever it might
have been, Allan thought, as he held up
to the light an exquisitely wrought bracelet,
with little forget-me-nots clustered at the
fastening.
"These shall be her wedding present from
the Hall,'' he said to himself, sarcastically.
Then he dropped them, shlmmering in the
light wandering through the white dimity
curtain, as if they had been serpents.
"What If they carry the malediction of
our Internal old ancestor!' he questioned,
half aghast at the mental suggestion; "every

He showed the shining heap from him
with gesture of horror, and sat looking at
the contents of the third box or case. What
ever it was was wrapped in a little silken
scarf. Allan reached over and touched it

he should not hear. ''Oh, dearli' sighed in

Allan should hear me, as was on the point
OF turning softly away, but his quick ear
caught the tell-tale sigh, and he looked up.
His face was white and his handsome

the horror he dared not express showing
through those beautiful eyes of his, now
dilated with terrified expression.
Then came Mirlam's full, sweet voice In

LITTLE HEIREssEs.
Two Vanderbilt Girls Whose Combined
Fortune Amounts to SEQ, OOO, 900.

Two Vanderbilt Girls Whose Combined
Fortune Amounts to 10000, 900.
There were two little girls at Newport
last summer who attracted more than
the ordinary interest attached to chill
dren Of wealthy people, These two
maidens we're Gertrude and Consuolo
Vanderbilt, and in few years they will
be the richest heiresses in society.
They are not sisters but cousins, and
as entirely dissimilar in appearance and
character as though no drop Of the same
blood flowed in their veins But they
are close companions and apparently
fond of one another, and when one drives
out in her little dogcart the other Is sure
to appear also
Gertrude is the oldest daughter OF
Cornelius Vanderbilt. She is about thir-
teen years old, and the fairies have given
her the fair beauty Of the "Snow Prin.
cess" as well as her pot OF gold She
has long curls, deep blue eyes, and oval
face and pearly complexion. She is tall
for her age, and has such u pretty, will
lowy little figure, dainty hands and
slender, arched feet. Her nature is
sweet and sunny. Naturally shy with
strangers, she is full OF merrimcnt with
those she knows.
Little Consuelo Is about the same ago
and is the oldest Of w. X. Vandorbilt's
children. She is named for Lady Man
deville, and is an odd little creature,
with thin, graceful little figure and
dark Mignon face, lit by two serious
gray eyes as deep as wells and as bright
as stars. Her hair is like tangle OF
dark shadows about her head, and her
little mouth, which often has such mu-
tinous curves, is as scarlet as ponce
granate
She has been twice around the world
in the Alva, and in many strange coun-
tries, and the little sprite can talk in
Japanese and Italian as well as in Ger
man and French. In fact she is as
highly educated as though she was a
princess royal, plays classical music and
sketches, rides and drives, and knows
more about the stars and the waves than
many college graduate.
Some day each of these children will
probably have a fortune of at least SlO,-
100000, and when they make their de-
but into society they will eclipse all
other heiresses Of the time. Both girls
are always simply dressed, pretty ging-
hams trimmed with white embroidery,
russell shoes and big hower-trimmed
hats for the morning, and soft white
mulls and muslins with broad sashes,
white hats and fine black stockings and
patent-leather ties for the afternoon.
They are never seen at night, but are
tucked away in their little beds, sleeping
the beauty sleep that will grow them
into beautiful young women. They
spend their days playing tennis, horses
back riding, driving their ponies 90 lit
tie light, wood dogcarts, and go to
dancing and swimming schools Each
girl has a governess who deyotes her en-.
tire time to her pupil, and if they do not
grow into beautiful, cultivated women,
it will not be from lack Of attention.
