Lucisn Hartrodgs was what the mothers
Of Savannah called N safe young man.
That is. ne had aScapitaI income WAS in a
paying business besides, and was amply
able to support . wife in luxury, whenever
he chose TO take unto himself that sxpsn-
sive commodity:shs anne from q good FAM
lly-the best in fact. the most a%ristooratiC
in the whole of Chatham county; aud, last
but not least. he had fewer vices than any
young man in their list OF acquaintances.
He had , strong oil -eontrol, which aevsr
allowed him TO debass himself; and his re-
speot for wonanhood amounted to rover
emo
Therefore when the realization stole
coldly over him that he begun to love an
unrefinsd. uneduoated mountain Cracker
loved her merely for her great beauty of
face and form, for her simplicity of heart
and soul, but loved her desperately never
thelesa-he stood appalled,.
During his frat visit he had remained At
the cabin about a week, and in that week be
had had but few chances of conversation
with Clarissa; but his eyes followed her
was completely f~ascinatsd. That she was
conscious Of this close surveillance he could
not doubt, for, looking mp suddenly. she
often caught his Qaze fixed upon her, aud a
burning blush would dye her face and milk
white throat and then die away, leaving hel
very pale.
Inc ore he carried home with him was
pronounced worthless, and all thought of
the Scrssner Mountain mine was aban-
doned. He told himself that he was glad
of this-that he would again be exposed to
the danger of that beautiful face and the
magnetism of those brown eyes.
Yet. at the end Of two months he again
found himself ON Soreamer mountain. If
the iron pyrites was q failure, he had dis
covered another mine more tempting and
even less likely to bling in any returns.
1t was AIril and spring was all over ma
ture. The pines, though preserving their
steady dark greenness tho yeareround, now
seemed different. The sap was rising and
they gave out a strong ,~esinous odor that
hlled the air, while the branches were
tipped with little tender shoots of lighter
color. The laurel, also perennially green,
showed = foliage lighter in tone and was in
full bloom, the large, delieately pink
flowers cup shaped, the edges deepening in
hue almost to rose color. T.
Lucian Hartredge pursued his way up the
nountain rather slowly, for his love was
still c~ontending With his self. contempt. and
the latter was dying hard. Then suddenly
the object of his installations stood in his
path. His horse 'shied md Clarissa started

He dismounted and stood at her side.
