In the early summer of 1899, Il girl sat
At her writing table in the old Manor
House of Sunningdale.
Mildred Dalrymple was not exactly
4 beauty, her features were too irreg-
ular. and her complexion too sallow,
but she possessed II shapely figure, u
graceful carriage, and II we'll shaped
head that was eNquisitely poised on a
charming neck.
With a tender smile on her sensitive
mouth, and u glitter OF unshed tears
in her brown eyes, She was writing a
few words on a thin slip of paper:
she comes to ask your pardon. Win
sou forgive her h hasty words?"
This she carefully wrapped round a
charming miniature of herself. exquis-
itely set With diamonds, and that bore
the inscription on the sack: From
Mildred Dalrymple to Rodney Brookes
May, 1899" And. then putting it back
Into its leather case. addressed the lit
tie packet to "Rodney Brookes. Esq,
Reithock, S. Africa"
A few months previously, Rodney and
Mildred, af1ianced lovers. had parted
with angry words because Rodney re-
fused point blank to marry her with

sisted he should go abroad and get
@ respectable number of the said coins
before settling in ease on his wife's
estate.

He had gone off with a sore feeling
That she did not see how deep and true
his Low really was, n she was left
with a fleeing impression that there
Are times when a woman must be con-
lent to stand aside and let a mans
pride have free play.
So she sent forth her little packet
Sreighted with love and longing, and
waited for his speedy reply.
Months passed and no word came
from him. Mildred counted and re-
counted the days till there was no long
err n doubt, that, allowing for every
possible and impossible accident. he
must AVE received her miniature three
months ago, and yet there was no

Paler and sadder grew Mildred as the

been deeper than she thought?
Then, in October, var was declared,

cried eagerly:

love you. I ask for nothing more.
And so the engagement was made.
The day before her wedding Mildred
received a small, stained packet.

thought, as she took 1t into her hands!

bravely as when she sent 1t forth to

eye, and she read as follows:
