A WOMAN'S LOVE.

Herbert, can you not love mef Is there |
no hopeS Oh, God, why did you not show |
me this mans heartl Dearest, just say that !
some time you will come back to me. Some
time | may know you are all mine, as
have so fondly dreamed. Dearest Herbert !
do not leave me without one kiss"
But u harsh laugh was the only answer
The little hands hat chung so fondly were
thrust rudely aside, and Herbert Johnston
walked smilingly back through the dimly
lighted conservatory to the dazzling ball |
room, thinking as he walked along; What
troublesome creatures some girls can make
themselves. 1t was happy summer. She
is beautiful and fascinating delightful
pastime, and, by Jove, how she did plead"
Herbert Johnston belonged to one of the
oldest and richest families in New England;
he was handsome in form and face, noble in
his bearing-an ideal society man-one that
all the mothers coveted for their daughters,
all the daughters for the place he would
give them in society, and because they could
not resist the dash and splendor of one so
cultivated. The scene he had just left was
so common to him that the gayety of the
ballroom soon dispelled all thoughts of it,
Marie Hilton watched him pass along
among the flowers watched him enter the
dancing hall, and she stood as one turned
| 10 STONE. AlulOSl Cnllt- pure anu girl
ish in simple white dress with it's dainty
lace half revealing half concealing the
pretty throat and perfect srms; the golden
brown hair combed loosely back; the blue
eyes cold and set; the sweet lips COM
pressed; the little hands hanging loosely
with moan she fell fainting.
Gliding out from the shadow of the tall
ferns came Eunice Earle, with a muttered
exclamation, Little darling, | will avenge
your she stopped down and raised the
slight, girlish form. She dashed the cool
water from the fountain into the pale face
and saw the blue eyes open. She half car
ried her friend to their rooms, called maid
and stepped into the private boudoir.
She stood for minute before her mirror,
beautiful picture of The dark, voluptuous
style. Waving, dark hair, lustrOus eyes,
perfectly chiseed nose and lips, dimples
holding Cupid's arrows, tall, superb form,
the rich amber dress in its severe Greek
beauty, the diamonds flashing from hair,
arms and neck made her IA bewildering pic
ture.
The lips moved in solemn words: "Eu-
nice Earle, tonight am glad you are fair to
look upon. Follow Herbert Johnston to
his grave, if need be, but avenge that little
girl whose heart he has broken"
She descended the broad, white stairs.
