no, she wouldn't marry him, but
when he died he left her a fortune, and

Here Dr.. Johns joined them again
When they parted the next morning, he
said:
Il shall see you, if may, at the first
available moment in the week IF any
thing prevents, shall write
Sitting down to dine the following day
with his bosom friend, he said:
Tom, you know everything and every
body; can you tell me where met
Miss Lucille Lindsay"
''She was the person Captain Hamer-
ton wanted 70 marry. You remember
old Hamerton:"
yes"
Forty years her senior. He tempted
her with jewels as Faust tempted Mar
guerite with kindness and luxury, but
although she was only poor little circus
rider she wouldn't have him. When he
died, he left her half his big estates. ]

/ suppose / must have set it. Gone, Ell,
Been on the ragged edge of Irritation on
the voyage? Fancy Harrisse marrying
circus rider, How Beacon street would
how'll"
DR.. HarTisse was perhaps thankful
that his patients demanded his atten-
ton, and gave him no time to think or
visit at once, and that an important case
made it impossible, as he said to himself,
TO do other than to postpone Miss Lind
say. One day he met DIR. Johns coming
away from her presence. He had an air
of suppressed excitement about him 1t
was year since they had parted on the
Malta. THE fellow is almost hand
some" thought Harrisse, ''and he is in
love with Lucille"
He acted upon his determination to
call, but Miss Lindsay was engaged with
a headache and begged Dr. Harrisse
would excuse her.
The words sounded strangely TO hiE;
he felt daZed and miserable and angry
with DR.. Johns, as if his visit had some
thing to do with it. All at once the fact
that Lucille had begun life as a circus
rider seemed trivial and Of no impor-
lance compared with the greater fact
that he loved her. Let those laugh who
win.
He never remembered having been n
such q hurry before IN his life. Why
had he postponed happiness so long: It
was late in the following day when he
received Lucille's reply:
Your Kind wOgds-she v-ote-haye carried
me back to those halcyon days on the Malta,
when believed myself as desperately in loEo
az you believe yourself to be today. L confessed
all this to DR.. Johns when he proposed to ne
yesterday morning, and he was willing to ab-
solve me
Dr.. Harrisse tossed the letter into the
CRATE and vent out 10 his patients.
Il was perhaps half dozen years later.
when looking over some old papers he
happened Oh the charred remnants OF
Lucille's letter, which his servant had
rescued from the fire and folded away.
He opened it curioUsly and fingered over
1t fascinated.
I confessed al 70 DIR. Johns when he proposed
TO me yesterday mOrning-it read-but if yo1
love ne-Poor DR.. Johns, I should like TO pan
ish you. ! should like to quote to you. There
must DC uautch girls and circus riders perhaps,
but we don't choose our wives and sweethearls
from among them" and refuse your gift-but
love YOU LUCILLE
at this date, however, Lucille had long
been Mrs. DIR. Johns.-Texas Siftings.
