secretly she liked Richard extremely;
but she had questioned him little, and
LIS answers had convinced her that he
was poor. 1t was enough. All she could
LOOK forward to was to add her refusal Of
him to her other triunphs.
But suddenly change came. She was
sitting upon the porch one evening when
two OF the men at the house paused in the
garden path speaking of Richard Rodney.
He is nice fellow" said one.
"And very happy fellow, too" said
the other. "One of the richest young
men in New York. Rich Rodney they
called his father, and he inherited every
thing.
Rich! An eligible matchl Could it
really be? Was it possibles Oh, how
delightful! for surely he was at her feet,
and now sne would not refuse him when
he oifered himself; she would say yes.

IN every way more pleasing than Charles
Coliingsby. She did not feel sure but
That she was little in love with him.
She ran INTO the house to look for Demise
TO tell her the wonderful news, but the
girl was not to be found. For once in
her life Denise had had an invitation Of
her own. Richard Rodney had asked
her to row with him upon the river, and
at that very moment they were slowly
drifting along in the soft moonlight, and
Richard held both the girls tiny brown
hands.
