so PRESUMING OF HIM.
With Only $4,000 n Year He. Had No
Reason to Expect That He
Had IA Chance.

The yellow moon hung by its crescent
hook against the starlit azure of the Sep
TENDER sky, and the night was dreamy, de-
licious, divine, says the New York Her
aid.
The man and the maiden walked be-
meath the silent stars and listened to
the purple music from the dusk. Her
jeweled fingers rested lightly on his arm,
and he felt them there as trembling harp
strings feel the touch of angel hands that
summon forth the SOULS high harmonles,.
His heart beat fast and the red blood
ran riot in his veins, for love had placed
its cbalice to his lips and he had drunk
his fill. He had not spoken, but he felt the
spirit of the hope that makes man dare
do anything and now this night OF nights
should see him conqueror of the maiden's
heart.
"A penny for your thoughts" he whis-
pered, bending low to look into her sweet,
soft eyes.
''No more?" she murmured, looking up
at him. to let those blue eyes fall again.
He caught her hand in his and let his full
heart flow.
"All 1 have in the world" he said, SUBJ
timely.
"Too little" she responded, with firm
ness.
And then he knew that some of his
hated rivals had told her he had but $751;
900 year income and no rich relatives.
