cratic homes, and people peculiarly ex
elusive were happy to receive him into
their cost select gatherings.
His engagement with Margie was
made public, and the young people were
overwhelmed with the usual compli.
ments of politely expressed hopes and
fashionable congratulations.
The gentlemen said Miss Harrison
had always been beautiful. but this sea
son she was more than that. Happiness
is rare beautifier. II painted Margies
cheeks and lips with purest rose color,
and gave light to her eyes and a soft
ness to her sweet voice.
OF course she did not mingle In So
ciety. even though her engagement was
we'll known, without being surrounded
by admirers. They fairly took her
away from Arch sometimes; but he
tried to be patient. Before the APPLE
trees in the green country valleys were
rosy with blossoms, she was to be all
his own. He could afford TO be gen
erous.
Among the train of her admirers ives
a young Cuban gentleman, Louis Cas-
tram. man of fascinating presence
and great personal beauty. He had
been unfortunate in his first love. She
had died few days before they were
TO have been married-died by the hand
of violence. and Castrani had shot the
rival who murdered her. Public opin-
ion had favored the avenger, and he
had not suffered for the act, but ever
since he had been prey to melancholy.
He told Margie his history, and II
aroused her pity; but when he asked
her love, she refused him gently, tell
ing him that her heart was another's.
He had suffered deeply from the dis
appointment, but he did not give up
her society, as most men would have
done. He still lowered around her,
content If she gave him smile or a
kind word, seeming to find his best hap
piness in anticipating her every wish
before it was uttered.
Toward the end of March Alexan-
drine Lee came to pass few days with
Margie. Some singular change had
been at work on the girl. She had lost
her wonted gayety of spirits. and was
for the most part subdued, almost sad.
Her eyes seldom lighted with smile.
and her sweet voice was rarely heard.
She came, from day spent out, one
evening, into Margie's dressing room.
Miss Harrison was preparing for the
opera. There was new prima donna,
and Archer was anxious for her to hear
the wonder. Margie had never looked
lovelier. Her pink silk dress, with the
corsage falling away from the shoul-
ders, and the sleeves leaving the round
arms bare, was peculiarly becoming,
and the pearl necklace and bracelets
Archer's gift-were no whittier or purer
than the throat and wrists they en-
circled.
