It vim early In tlic morning so
enrly, in fnt. that the dew sUssl In
big. npnlcseont drops on hedge and

Mnrjorte ran quickly up the short
flight of stone steps. She Mood rir an

pended from the walls, the statuary
just where It had stood ou the night
she went a way.
With a deep drawn Hlch of relief
Murlorle threw herself into n clialr t
rest and collect herself before proceed-
hit; to her own room.
After all. she reflected. It was a
whole lot hctlcr to !' at home with
one's own cople than to lie sticking
It out alone somewhere else, whatever
the tcmntatioii or Inducement. She
had stuck It out and won. Others had
irlcd the same t Iiinir mid lost. The re
sult was pretty near the same In any
event, she argued, flushed now with
Hie mere Joy of her homecoming.
She wondered vaguely If her par
ents could by any possibility fall to
forgive the waywardness whlrh had
inken her away to do battle, single
handed. In the great world of need and
struggle? The parting had beeu very
bitter, so bitter that she tried not to
recall it any oftener than she was
forced to. The surprise, the trluir
phaut results site was bringing hot:;;
to them, would they compensate for
!ior dNols'tlleiicc?
I Hiring the two mouths Just pass-d
she had heard little or nothing from
either of them In Iter continued pas
su ge from place to place. Had she con
fded the real motive behind her des
perate nmbitlon things might have
been different, but there are some soul
ferrets too dear and too sacred almost
to Ik- held in communion with one's
own thoughts.
All at on.V a whole army of clocks
liegan to strike s and Innumerable
whistles In every key shrieked per
emptory warning of the hour.
Marjorle started from ber reverie In
alarm and, quietly crossing the length
of the hallway, moved up the deep
carved and ranieted staircase.
The door of her sitting room stood
ajar, aud she entered noiselessly, de
positing her bag and parcel on the
familiar little spider legged table that
held the student's lamp. Then she
threw herself down Into the old fash
ioned rocker that stood Invitingly near
and began to draw off her gloves, for
the moment a rush of feeling dimmed
her eyes so that she could not see.
But In a little while she pulled herself
together and glanced alsut critically,
noting that nothing apparently had
been disturbed, everything was Just
as she was accustomed to have It
every picture, every book.
She Vent toward the reading table
with a sudden heart throb. There lay
a fresh supply of the current period
icals, a newspaper or so, a paper knife
she was sure she had never seen be
fore and a half smoked cigar.
Toor. dear papa." sighed Marjorle.
with a little tremulous smile, "be will
forgive me, after all. He must hare

1 wounded htm more deeply than I
dreamed." She put forth her hand In
a mechanical fashion and lifted the
paper kntfe from the table, touching
It softly with caressing fingers. It waa

unconsciously framed the words. She
looked up. half frightened, and glanc
ed about ber quickly.
Almost at the moment the door lead
tng tnto ber room was pushed open
softly from the other aide, tad Hkbari
Lasslter himself stood on the thresh

Marjorle was on her feet In an In
ttant, pale, embarrassed, bewildered.
For once in her life all self control bad
abandoned her. She took an unsteady
step forward, groping with one band
before ber for support
"I'm awfully sorry," began Lasslter
apologetically. "There has In all prob
ability ts-eu some mistake. 1 thought
you knew."
Marjorle regarded him half dazed.
"My father and mother," she broke
In appealingly. "what has become of
them?"
"They are perfectly safe and well. I
can assure you of that much. As soon
as possible us Is practicable I shall
send you to them. Your father specu
lated heavily. He was unfortunate,
but he did not lose everything." hu
went on. answering the unstokcn
question in her eyes. "A long expect-
cil Hit rrcm roriune mane uu- iiiu-.-
pendent, placed me where I am
here."
When he looked down Marjorle was
crying softly, the tears slipping down
her cheeks and splashing unheeded on
her hands.
"When I learned that the place was
for sale." proceeded Lasslter after a
silence, "I wanted more than anything
else In the world to come here to live.
It Hcetned like well, like being nearer
to you, somehow. You don't mind me
saying this. Mar-Miss Wluthrop?"
Marjorle's tears had ceased sudden-
Iv. An exquisite tint of carnation had
crept up slowly under her skin, aud the
lids closed over her eyes like pale
white globes over blue lights. "I would
rather It were you than any one else
here," she replied presently In a low
voice.
Something In her tone. In her man
ner and mure than an in tne swiii
avoidance of his eyes made Lasslter
suddenly bold. He went and stood at
the side of her chair, his hand resting
on the back of It, his gaze. Impas
sioned enough now, fixed on the shin
ing brown waves of hair that Intoxi
cated him with the delicate breath of
perfume.
Marjorle," he said hurriedly. "let
me tell yon everyi uing now, wont
you? It Isn't the time nor the place
perhaps, conventionally speaking, but
can't let you get away from me
again. I think you must have known,
dear, that I have always loved you
you did know It, didn't you? But yon
knew, too, that you were rich, while
was poor and that because of It my
Hps were sealed. But I was working
night and day. day and night working
as no one ever could have worked be
fore, for no one ever had so sweet
and dear and precious an Incentive
working to make myself worthy to ask
you to bo my wife."
He paused, out of breath from sheer
emotion, the veins of his neck throb
bing. He bent suddenly and took ber
hand In bis.
Marjorle felt the quick quivering and
yielding of her fingers and knew that
with It was the giving up of ber whole
elf.
Minutes passed and neither spoke.
After awhile she glanced up, with a
alow flush deepening vividly on her
cheeks, aud Lasslter broke the silence.
"I have succeeded." be said quietly.
"Will you come back home, sweet
heart?" Marjorle did not speak, but present-
It she lifted her other band and gave 1
that, too. Into bis keeping.
Ha Was Slow.
Unroln ascl to bo fund of telling a
story of a lawj"er wno desired the nom
ination for county Judj;c. On the
morning pweedinB the evening on
which the county convention was to
meet he applied to the livery stablo
keeper In bis village for a horse and
buggy In which to drive to the county
town, sixteen miles distant, where the
convention was to be held. "Give me
the best and Hie fastest horse you
have. Sara," said he. "so that I wilt
have time to go around and see the
boys before the convention comes In."
The liveryman, however, was suit
porting a rival candidate aud gave the
lawyer a horse which outwardly ap
peared perfect, but wbL-b broke down
entirely before half the Journey was
completed, so that when the candi
date arrived the convention had ad
journed and bis rival had been nomi
nated. On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that It
was useless to resent the trk k played
upon him. be said to the owner: "Look
here. Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market Ton
expect to sell hint to an undertaker
for a bearse horse, don't you? Well.
It'a time wasted. I kuow from his
gait that you have spent days train-
Ing him to pull a bearse. but he'll
prove a dond failure. Why. he's so
slow he couldn't get a corpse to the
cemetery In time for the resurrection."
A Story ef Dumas. h
One day Alexandre Dumas visited
Marsellks and made a trip to the '
Chateau d'lf to visit the palace he had
helped to make famous. The guide -showed
him everything; also the sub- '
terranean passage by which Edmond
Dante and Abbe Farla used to visit I
each other. "This passage was dug
by Abbe Farla by the aid of a flh ,
bone." the guide explained. "51. Du-
mas telle about It In his story of
Monte Crista' " 1 1
-Indeed r replied the author. -Alei- I
ndre Duma must be familiar with
all the surrounding here. Perhaps
you know olmT
T, should think so! He hi ooe of oy
beet friends."
"And yew are one of his." replied the
Impulsive scribe, letting S touts d'or
dip Into the hand of the aatcclibcd
gukle.
