dwelt in an atmosphere of wealth and :, ; . ; the girl's appearance indicated this in some lesser degree she was re moved as far as possible from any coarseness of face and manner but she lacked income sdbtle vvay the air of the belles who hourly swept the walk there was a singular absence too of display in her simple white dress and the only ornament she wore was the pretty while coral brooch which clasped the frill at her neck still,.in the vast hotels yonder thef'e were fayj faces which had it ; finer charm than this one which sat so near nie that summer morning something was t work in this girl's soul—t-saw that in / a little while—some expectation some pleas ure some unrest she glanced about her on right arid left with a little half indrawn breath with a smile that came and vanished sometimes i fan cied in a quick fleeting shadow of doubt or uneasiness v ' ' '- ■| . sha frolicked with the child who seemed wonderfully attached to her they had little romps together up and down tile shadowy walk and oh it was a pleasant thing—so pleasant that the silvery mirth seems to echo in my memory still tbe laughter of this young gfrl ami this little e^ilcf starting out and breaking down and bubbling over together at.last a little tired with tfieir pret ty romping they came and sat down on the bench togetner and a mo ment later the girl's face flushed into a hf pleased consciousness that was pretty to see and following the swift l withdrawn glance of her eyes 1 saw a gentleman approaching us after the manner of men he avas eer tain'ly this he wore the finest of broadcloth arid there was about fiim that air ot quiet well bred assurance which indicated at once that he was familiar with the world—a man who would not be likely to lose his self possession under any circumstances he looked a little beyond his thirties and had a face that i suppose women who are fond of that term would have called distinguished t6e features were all well jn'ou'lded but somo subtle expression in which eyes and mouth held frheir : part made me i dfstrndt this man he approached 1 the young girl with an eager regard f 6f manner which no ono could fail to f observe offered her his hand witn a > smile which i have no doubt had fas > cinated many a maiden agnes he said i have been i '•••', . from the,tiady'9 friend for deceniber ■■-..'•;
