Within the vine-dad window sat two
charming girls in the simple attire
that fashion prescribes for traveling.
Without, a long, well-knit, masonline
looking figure lies in the grass, face
invisible, being covered by the own
er’s hat. To him there saunters an
other gentleman, dark, stylish, wide
awake.
“Hnllo, Kingston I Wake up; got
something to tell yon;” and he un
kindly draws away the sheltering hat,
disclosing a handsome, angry face.
‘Confound yon I What makes yon
‘pester a fellow so in this warm weath
er ?” said the viotim, sitting np dis
consolately.
“Did I spoil yoor nap ? Have a ci
gar, instead. I wanted to tell yon of
the new arrival, Aggie Amberly, the
g'eat heiress, with her consin and
companion. There’s a chance for yon
to get a rich wife, my boy 1”
“Don’t want one 1 Hang this ci
gar! it don't draw. A poor man like
myself can’t afford to marry a rich
wife.”
“I should say that he couldn’t af
ford to marry anything else,” laughed
the other; “and Aggie Amberly is a
beauty as well as an heiress. You
don’t often meet snoh a prize.”
“You had better moke up to her
yourself,” eaid Kingston, dryly.
“Perhaps I shall, and leave you the
cousin, who is also a beauty in anoth
er style. Hanged if I’ll tell you which
is which though. And you’ll never
know from the manners of our hosts
wards them. There are,nowor-
lippers of the golden calf in this
house.”
“Humph!” said Kingston, and
smoked a few minutes in silence, and
then broke out: “The man that mar
ries a woman for her money is the
meanest creature that crawls on the
earth 1 You have money enough of
your own, Preston, for your motives
to be above suspicion; but os for me
—by Jove! I would not marry a rich
woman if I loved hor ever so well. I
Imve no fancy for the name of for
tnne-hunter.”
Bravo, Don Quixote I” laughed
bis friend. “Now suppose we go and
take a swim. You need some cooling
off.”
They strolled away, unconscious of
fair eyes watching them.
Then enid one yoang lady to the
other: “If that fellow does not marry
u rich woman, my name is not Aggie
Amberly I”
A few days later Mrs. Conrtney and
her guests were grouped on the lawn,
the ladies with some dainty needle
work, Mr. Preston reading alond to
them, Harry Kingston in his favorite
position—flat on bis back in the grass
working a certain problem which had
been tronbling him for some days:
Which was Aggie Amberly? That
tall, stylish blonde in lilac silk, with
proud lillics on her bosom, or this
graceful, dark-eyed fairy in fluttering
white muslin?
“The fair haired one for money I
She looks more like a fashionable
beauty, as Jim Preston said the heir-
was. Not that charming little
gypay. Providence would never be
stow a fortune upon a girl with such
a bewitching face. It would be too
mnoh partiality. But she doesn’t
look much like a poor relative, either.
Td give a good deal to hear one of
those young ladies call the other by
her Christian name.”
Said the fair Miss Amberley; “Ag
gie, have yon a needleful of violet
silk?”
Said the dark Miss Amberley: “No,
Aggie, but I can get yon some np
stairs.”
Harry fairly gasped. Later he
learned that the blonde was called
Agnes and the brunette Agatha
Then he began to notice that Miss
Agatha dressed more simply than her
cousin, and that she was ever ready to
offer small services, which the other
accepted calmly. And one day the
young lady expressed it os her opin
ion that riches most be a great harden,
although, to be sore, oonsin Aggie
bad each a mind for finances 1 Bat,
for her part, she hoped no one would
leave her a fortune.
"And what eyes the little thing
has, they lock a fellow’s heart right
ont of his body,” thought Kingston.
After that, Kingston considered his
first problem very happily solved. An
other problem had taken its place-
how much money was necessary for
the luxury of a marriage ?
Jim Preston was courting Miss Ag
nes Amberly without any attempt to
disguise. Perhaps his example was a
little bit infectious. At all events,
Kingston and Miss Agatha were
thrown together very mneh, and their
confidential talks increased in,num
ber and interest. On the last day of
Kingston’s visit he took a farewell
stroll with Agatha. They stopped on
a little rnstio bridge thrown over a
hollow. They were telling eocUotber
their first impressions.
“So yon thonght my cousin 1
as thongh she were born in the pur
ple. And pray, what did yon think
of me ?”
“You’ll be angry."
“No, no, I won’t, 1 ” y
“Well then, I raid to myself: “What
<i dear little gypsy I”
Of coarse Miss Amberley was not
angry. She had said she would not
be, but she struck her hand hard
against the rough wood work.
“Take care, yon will hurt yourself.
And now, may I ask yonr first opin
ion of me ?’’
“I thought—that is, I said to my
self: ‘There is a man I shall just en
joy making a fool of,’ ” she answered
ipitefally. “Oh 1”
She bad run a great splinter into
her hand. It was very painful. Har
ry worked forgivingly to get it ont.—
Jnst ns be succeeded, Miss Amberley
turned alarmingly white and mur
mured, "Don’t be frightened—how
foolish I am—I feel like—” And but
for his arm she wonld have fallen
Kingston was too umob bewildered
to do anything but hold her tight and
cover the wounded hand with kisses.
Strange to say, this peculiar meth
od of reviving a young lady succeed
ed. She opened her eyes, and the
color returned to her face.
“Mr. Kingston 1” polling her hand
away.
“Ob, if you wanted to make a fool
of me,” he said gloomily, “yon have
entirely succeeded. I love you 1”
He expected her to draw herself
coldly from his hold, but she did not.
She seemed quite contented where
she was, only a rosy glow overspread
her face, and Bhe whispered:
“Are you sure—very sure?
“I wish I was quite as sure of my
eternal salvation t”
“Ob, Harry! No, you must not
say that 1 Do you love me enough to
care whether I am rich or poor ?”
“Ten thousand time* yes 1”
“And yon want me for yonr wife
anyhow ?”
“Of conrse I do I”
“Then take me. And yon may kiss
me now, Harry.”
And he did.
“Of coarse it makes no difference to
yon,” said the young lady presently,
“bat von have offered yonrself to the
rich Miss Amberley. Yon needn’t
start so. Yon can't throw me over
now, sir!"
For a moment that was jnst what
Harry thought of doing, bat the quick
tears in his compaion’s eyes brongbt
him to bis senses.
