him, except his name; but while he
waited patiently, with her hands in
his, her thoughts flew swiftly back
over their short acquaintance, and
she began to realize how surely this
plain, quiet man had taken Roland's
place in her affections.
"How do you know" she said,
obeying sudden roguish impulse,
"that 1 shall not accept you out OF
spite?"
He smiled quietly.
"You are child, Stephie.-you do
not understand yourself. know that
you love me-"
He said it simply. From another
man such o statement would have been
intolerable, but he was so utterly free
from self-love that Stephie's momen-
tary vexation died out instantly, and
she said, softly:
eyes, I believe I do"
His call upon her father that even
ing created good deal of surprise.
The weak little man was quite taken
aback, and Stephie's stepmother ran
into the girls room after David had
gone and laughed meaningly.
"Well, you are pretty clever girl
after all, Stephie! Dear, dear! to-
think of your making such match !
SO he is the nice man that the young
ones have been telling about all sum
mer? You'll be fine lady now, sure
enoughm
"Oh, no, mother" responded
Stephie, trying not to show her annoy
ance. "Mr. Preston is only a poor
man."
IA poor man! Why, Stephana
Bryant, one of his paintings is worth
more than your fathers wages for
whole year!"
Mother, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? For pity sake
has the girl lost her senses? Don't
you know that that man who wants to
marry you is Charles ID. Preston, the
great artist? I heard a few days ago
that he was boarding at the lower vii
lage, but I hadn't the slightest idea
Of thisv'
Neither had Stephie.
Poor Stephiel She remembered
with sudden shame how condescend-
ingly she had talked to him of Roland's
talents. How she had thought of him,
even with her growing regard, as
matter of-fact man, with not much
poetry or appreciation of the beauti-
full in his nature. And ho was great
landscape painter whose name was in
everybody's mouth. And he asked
her-a poor, little, lonely girl to marry
him!
She pondered for long while over
this, and when he came to see her ON
the following day he found a very
shame faced little maiden.
They were married in the fall, and
Stephie went away from the old, toll
some life into comfortable home Of
her own.
Roland Harvey degenerated into an
idle, seedy-looking fellow, his fancied
talents amounting to nothing at all.
He had Tilted Stephie for an heiress
who had been fascinated by his
grace and beauty, and after having
spent her money, they lived from
hand to mouth, until David Preston
got situation for him at cabinet
Parting, where he managed to earn q
fair salary.
As for Stephie she has found her
real hero.-Saturday Night.
