Soiuetimca tf>o hot tlio eye of heaven
Rhinos. Tod; v proves it. Terrible is the
strong til of the lavs that Old Sol is
flinging broadcast upon the simmering
earth. The tennis players have given in
to it, and confessing themselves vanquished
have Hung their rackets to
the winds and themselves into garden
chairs or else prone upon the shaven
lawn under the acacias according to
1111'II M A.
Two of thorn, however, Imvo waudorod
rather far from the acacias and the
tea tables and the tent, where better
things than tea Oau be had for the asking.
They have wandered into a little
green space, shut out from a noisy world
by rows and rows of hedges, all beech,
on the north and south, and heavy
rhododendrons on the two other sides,
it is a little dream of a place, entered
by one opening only, and that through
the beeches.
"A sort of Arcadia, isn't it?" says
Mr. Brooke, glancing up at his companion
from his lounging position upon the
grass at her feet.
"No, " says she, with a little frown.
She makes a charming picture, sitting
here in the sunshine next the old sundial,
with her hat lying on the ground
beside her and the glinting rays from
the glowing heavens throwing golden
lights into her line brown hair. Her
oyes are blue and just at this moment
a little angry. Tho mouth, too, so prono
to laughter as a rule, has grown mutinous.
Half child, half woman, she
litis not yet learned tho more delicate
shades of society's colors and lets her
thoughts lie openly upon her lovely face.
"You are hard to please," says ho,
his eyes on hers. As a rule, his eyes are
seldom anywhere else.
"Well, you arc not!" returns she
prompt ly.
From afar tho thrum, thrum, thrum,
of a banjo conies to them, breaking a
stillness that is almost oppressive.
"That's the unkindest cut of all,"
says Mr. Hrooko placidly. "It's rather
a cut at Miss Morland. too. isn't it? I
presumo you ulludo to my engagement
to her."
"Von presume very wrongly, then. I
was not thinking of Miss Morland. ,Sho
ought to plenso. She is rich, young,
handsome. "
"liieh, ves."
"And handsome," persistently.
"Is she? Oh, yes, of course she is. A
perfect Juno! Too perfect a Juno, perhaps.
"
"You shouldn't sneer at her," says
tho girl gravely.
"I know that, and that's why 1 do
it," says ho, "It is so dilllcult to resist
temptation, and to do the wrong thing
is always so pleasant. " lie is talking
idly, scarcely knowing what he says,
his mind full of her, full of the knowledge
that he loves her, her only, and
with all tho passion of his nature, and
that he is engaged to Ik* married to another
woman, a handsome woman, tho
daughter and heiress of a cotton merchant,
what her own class would call a
"fiuo girl," tall, with light eyes and
lighter hair and distinctly underbred.
Sin? had met George Brooke some
months ago at the house of a mutual
friend, and being tilled with a strong
desire to rise out of her cotton surroundings
had given him very clearly to understand
that she was willing to accept
him should 'he choose to accept her fortune,
which was enormous, in exchange
foi the old title that must come to him
on the death of his undo, Lord Farnham,
a beggarly title, no penny of money
coining with it, as the uncle let the
nephew know as often as opportunity
occurred.
There had been had blood between
Lord Farnhatu and his second brother,
George Brooke's father, and Farnham
was not a man to forget. Ho swore he
would visit tho sin of tho father upon
the son, and sooner than let his money
go to the young Georgo ho would leave
it ti> a hospital. As for tho old namo
and the keeping up of it, let it go to
the devil. Young George would inherit
that in spite of him, hut it should provo
a barren honor to him.
George took 110 steps to assuage Ids
uncle's wrath, but hi? thought a good
*dcal of the time when he should ho
Lord Farnham, with only ?500 a year
to back his title. He had shirked tho
idea of marrying for money, hut when
Miss Morlaml, with her undeniably
golden charms, Hung herself at his head,
ho permitted himself to argue the qucs
" ) 'mi are laird to plcaxr," he.
tion with himself. Many u fellow, ho
(old himself, had done it before. It was
a fair exchange, llis title for her money!
He was heart whole. He would not
do her or any other woman any wrong
in marrying hor. He would think about
it?ho hesitated?and finally was lost.
Miss Morland aocopted him calmly,
was a little vulgar over her money,
let it I 1 known that she thought it a
pitytl t the present Lord Farnhum was
in nr. remarkably robust health for so
old a an, and said she would not like
to be > arried until the coming autumn.
It was then November. George, glad of
a respite, did not press for an earlier
day, a circumstance the heiress remembered.
Ho bore up under bis new chainf
with a marvelous courage. He was not
in love with any one, so tin v did not
gall him. Then came a day when both
ho and Miss Morland were asked down
to stay for a month at the JShirlcys', and
there ho met Dorothy Dono.
A little, slender maiden, with big
gray eyes and hair that rippled all over
her white forehead. A rather out at elbows
little niuiden, whose best frock

possesion of by thom from tin* month
that saw George iirooko there and his
fiancee, with the most disastrous results.
Iioorge Hrooko fell madly in love
with her, and she loved hint.
It has gone so far with them indeed
that though no word haN yet been spoken
each knows the ether's heart, and
sitting here today in this little, dangerously
lonely retreat a sense of passionate
protest against the fate that isdivid
ing tlu in if thrilling through every
tone.
"Wo ought to go hack," siivh Miss
Do no prosontly in a rathor changed
tone. SSho had liocn a little otTondod
per hops by the frivolity of his answer.
"Oli, not yet, surely. We have been
here so short a time, and to get away
from Shirley's banjo, if only for a minute
or two, is so intense a relief."
"It is more than a minute or two,"
rising. "We have been here an immense
time. Agnes?Mrs. Shirley?will be
wondering what has become < f us. So,"
regarding him steadily, "will Miss
Morland."
"Let her wonder. Besides, she has
forgotten us by this time in tl; delight
of Lord Tottenham's society. I wonder
what she set s in that old b sil? For my
part I'm always thinking win n with
him of what 1 don't see?hair, teeth,
otc."
"She is very kind to him, poor old
man.''
"And amiability is In r strong point.
How many eharniH you have discovered
in her of late."
"I don't think you ought to speak of
her liko that," says the girl, turning
upon him with a little flash in In r lovely
eyes. "You shouldn't critit ise her."
"Why not? 1 certainly shan't bo able
to criticise her next month, so 1 may as
well make the most of my time now.
Next month"?slowly, and almost defiantly?
"I shall he the blessed proprietor
of Mrs. Brooke, and it is not permissible
to eritlciseone'sown wife, whatever
you may do with regard to your
friend's. "
He has spoken deliberately and witii
seeming unconcern, though in truth his
heart is torn in two by a very passion
of despair mid regret. They are hot h
standing, hut she has turned sharply
aside and has so placed herself that ho
cannot see her face. IIo had meant to
provoke some word from her, and her
silence maddens him.

hoi' to return his ga/.e.
She lias ^rowii very pule, hut she
meets hiH \u s without flinching.
"Nothing," says she in a tone out
of which all her courage cannot keep
the sound of desolation.
"A woman's answer. I know what
you were thinking of for all that?that
there is no 111010 despicable tiling on
earth than a man who murricsii woman
for her money. Yet what was I to do?
Was the old name to ho forever lowered?
A title?and ?500 a year?how do
they go together? Money I h It that I
must, have, and when it came my way I
took it. Do yau think I don't care?
now? Hut the thing is done. And my
uneh?that old man?he is a perfect
devil, lie will do nothing for inc. I am
tied?am hound. "
"Yes," says she simply. She has
taught In rself indeed to regard it in
this light. Of very old family herself,
the demands of race seem natural to
her. To give up all for the sake of the
old name?that has reason 1:1 it?-hut
that it should he they two who must
give up?that stems hard!
"Why don't you speak?" says he
harshly. "You despise 1110; you
think"?
"I think nothing hut what is kind of
jam," saj's she, her voice trembling,
hut her faeo full of a gent le dignity. " 1
do not despise you. Why should 1? I
think you are doing right. When tin old
title comes to one, it should he regarded
as a saeri d charge, and you?jam meant
to do the best you could for it You
will he able, in spite of your uncle, to
keep up the old name"?
"Oh, d?n the old name!" interrupts
he passionately, with a deep
groan. 1 to has spoken very low certainly?and
eertainlj' it seems as though
the word had been forced from liini
against his will?hut Dorothy, tearing
this terrible specs h, grows dumb. To so
denounce the "old name!" She pauses,
ga/.ing at him as if thumb rst i uck.
"i beg your pardon," says lie moodily,
Why lias she taken it all so much
for granted? Is there no loophole of escape?
If she had cared as much as he
dot s, would she have bu n so ready to
ucknowledge the claims of the "old
name?'' "Doyou never think, Dorothy,"
says he slowly, "of how it might have
been if?if" ?
With a little swift, imperat ivc gesturo
she puts up her hand and checks him.
Her vt ly lips are white, ller large eyes
grow suddenly larger as cruel, smarting
tears till them. Even as llrooke gn/.es
at her, two bright, drops overflow her
lids and run quickly down her palo
cheeks.
"Dorothy!" says he, making a movement
toward her.
"No, no Don't mind me!" savs she
bravely, repulsing him with eager
hands. "You are doing what is best lor
you, indeed, and?and afteiward you
will l>e glad that? Yes"?nervously?
"and besides"?
"<)h, that will do," says he bitterly.
"Why should you trouble yourself to
try i.nd reconcile mo to my fate? I dare
say t ia re are worse things that might
' befall a man than having to accept a
fort line.''
"1 wish," says slio in a heartbroken
voice, "that you would try to b a little
happy about it. "
"Is there anything else you wish?"
1 says he, pushing oil' his arm the little
friendly hand she has pieced upon it.
"Jlnppy, after all," (blowing up 11ihead,
with a short laugh. "Why not?"
, "Why not indeed?" sadly. "This is

"How you hnvo f tudied me? You are

says he, laughing again, "I'm

"Yes?"

"Tim sooner tho bettor," returns sho

"It is, however, a pity you didn't think

"Well, as far as that goes," says she,
e "I presume it was never me either. It
was only the money." At this lie colors
hotly. She laughs. "Does that trouble

that one in the hand is worth two in

him, but time explains it. "Tho truth is

"No, ho will never got older," repeats
Brooke in a curious tone. With
the old man lying dead, this heartless
speech of hers?this cruel longing for

than it would have wore he living, lie
himself had not loved the old lord, hut
he had never wished him dead.
