love; ana tnats tne trouble with me
right now l love you, and 1 want
to hear you say you love me, and l
want you to marry me as soon as you
will, l may be making Il break every
step make, but I am going 10 kiss
you"
"Oh, Mr.. George please--love you,
why, there wouldn't be any-any love
on this earth If it wasn't for your
When Miss Weatherly returned
home the farmers wife, sitting at the
window waiting for her, asked IL the
quarrel had taken place, and Miss
Weatherly answered, mo, not vet, but
it may most any time now. We are
to be married soon,"
"Oh you don't tell me! And war.
rant you Chiffon heard whaS said
about him, for it won't do to fool with
the Atchcrsons. Well, my dear, you
are to be congratulated, for the young
fellow is respectable, and they say
that he has made a great deal Of
money quite independent Of his faith

"Oh, hadn't thought Of his money"
the young woman broke in. II had
forgotten ali about that"
"Yes, Of course, my dear; just the
same as when 1 married Sam Trent.
didn't know whether he had dol
lar or not-which he hadn't, l soon
learned--but an Atcherson had given
him her love and that was enough.
Yes, l am glad for your sake. But
what do you suppose ever prompted
him to call in the first place? Do you
guess our name had anything to do
with itT
II think not" Miss Weatherly an.
swered, with a smile. "The fact is,
1 don't know-he said that he called
first to please his father and after
ward to please himself; but 1 don't
know why his calling in the first place
should have pleased the old gentle
man. 1t is all a mystery to me, 1 as
sure you"
The wedding took place at the np-
pointed time, and the young woman
went to live in the great house. 1t
was n dream Of happiness made real.
Old Mr.. Chiffon was very fond Of her.
"The most remarkable young woman
ever saw in my life" he said to his
son. Most extraordinary mind-a
Jewel, my boy. You are the luekiest
fellow l ever saw. Oh, by the way,
Dabbs has asked for your sisters
hand"
The sister was married, and the
young wife was now the mistress Of
the great house. She told herself that
she was truly happy, and then sudden
ly there came a thundecelap in her
clear sky. 1t was letter from Miss
Parker, her friend who had been tour
ing in Europe. For long time after
reading it the young wife walked in
wretchedness up and down the room.
The following is an extract from the
letter II am so sorry that you did
not come; but no, you wanted to take
up q special study, and be smarter
than the rest of us, and so l was de-
termined to have my revenge, which
you have, of course, found out by this
time. 1 know a young fellow who
works In the office Of Chilton's attor-
ney, and l told him that the Miss
Weatherly who had gone down to
Ocean Cave for the summer was one
Of the wealthiest women in the coun-
try, and that she had gone into retire
ment to escape the army Of suitors
that was constantly barking at her
heels. OF course, 1t came to the ears
of the old money-shark, and, Of course,
he has annoyed you with his atten-
tions."
She heard Mr.. Chiffon go into his
library, and with the letter shaking in
her hand she entered the room. "Mr
| Chiffon, an awful mistake has been
madel Read thlsr' She handed him
the letter and sat down with a sigh
| He read it, grunted, laughed, and
said, my dear all men who have
children and money are weak-in u
| certain direction; but l am not a mon
cy-shark, and If q mistake has been
made my son has not made It,
credit you with a million, my dear.
Now come, you silly little thing, and
kiss me-" And then Georges face
showed at the door. $50 you credit
her with a million7 l credit her with
two. Never mind that letter, Halle.
don't want to read 1t IL it has dis
tressed you" lie put his arm about
her.
But, George. you didn't think l was
rich, did your
Yes. l thought you held all the
wealth Of the world, and you do"
And down there at Ocean Cave the
sea still murmurs poetry and the stars
continue to smile.-Woman's Home
