And then there was a shower of kisses and tinkling laughter. And that was the conver sation of a millionaire and his daugh ter that Lucian Malvin heard over the transom of the next room to his in the hotel where he staid over night a year or two ago, seeing neith er people nor handkerchief, aod aKhastat the thought of a handker chief o pting the awful price of $r,00 which was one-third of the mortgage on bin llt'Ie place that he was trying to pay off, heart and eoul a conver sation that now recurred to him in a moment of real aeony, as the house maid stood before him holding a little mp rg,m her har d that she had lust soaieln d out of the washtub, and tnat. last nittht was a bit of damty lace that Miss Rose Mercier had call ed her handkerchief, and had given him t ) hold during the galop. Good heavens, how was he ever going to restore it ! He was young lawyer just enter ing up:n what in lime would be probably fine practice, but which was now rather empirical He had start ed in the race for wealth and honor with good legal abilitj , good name, and good morals, aud witn no other impediments than a little patrimony in the shape of a modest dwelling in the suburbs, which he had been ouliged to mor-'gage for the means to get a part of his education and his profession, which mortgage he was striving to py off, that he might be gin the future e!er of the world He was a handsome f How, this Lucian Malvin, an ambitious one, too, in s jme degree, and very nearly as proud as Lucifer. He ud to feel many a pang in the asscciaLioo with those so much wealthier than himself t which f ertain circumstances had sub jected him. He had had an impor tant easeaecidenta"y thrown into his hands, and had acquitted himself so well that the wealthy client took him up and would not let him down ; and when Lucian remonstrated that it was out of Lis power to keep ui such awpdation. and was mortifying to his pride beside, the client bad as sured him it was not pride, but vani ty that was mortified, and that ike way to be as wealthy as those he met wa to keep their company aud get their cses: and he bad thought, on the whole, that perhaps bis friend was right, 'and that, if he began to yield with an ignoble motive, he bad nevertheless become very fond of the ways of people to whom wealth had given every opportunity of culture and grae, and who knew how to treat life like a work of art. More over, it was not a little that he was pelted by various of these good peo ple. Certainly motherly ladies made him at home with them, and won his confidence and affection, notably Mre. Barnetta. Parents with good rent-rolls of their own, as Mrs. Bar netta used to tell bim, Were not in oonsMant in the matter of rent-rolls as of virtue, and lalent in their daugh ters' husbands ; end he was invited here and invited there, and given to understand a great deal more than he chose to understand. Proud as Lucifer, as it was previously stated, be was going to marry no heiress of ihem all and be the thrall of her money ; he would not marry a rich woman he could not marry a poor one. When he married he was going to give, not take, and at present he had nothing to give. Perhaps he would have been a nobler person if had not been quite so stren uous in this matter of obligation; but then, as Mix. Barnetta said, he would not have been Lucian Malvin, and Lucian Malvin was a very good fellow, after all, and there are few of us but have our faults. It was these people that he bap pened to vaett Rosa jMercier. She had come from a distant place, aud was visitii g his pleasan test acquaint ance ; aud certainly tbe house was pleasant er still after her sunshiny little presence dawned on it. It seemed as if, for instance, there nev er had been any flowers in the house before, although it had always been overflowing; it seemed as if there iiad been no music there, no light, or color or cheer ; and now the place was too dangerously delightful tor a young man who did not want to marry to frequent. She was such a lovely little thing: not exactly beau tiful, that is, sne would not have been beautiful in a picture but iufllesh and blood, and in Lucian Malvin's eyes, she was exceedingly beautiful with her soft color, her clear dark fcaae and her bright hair that broke K!o a cloud of sunny rings about her aweet face ; such a gentle gayety went with whatever she did ; such a VOL. I. tender grac e of manner, tqo, in the i u tervajg of ner buoyant sp rits, her voice was such a warbling voice, her ways were such winsome ways. .Lucian Malvau felt that he must roreswear her presence unless he wanted to make life a burden to him self, and he ceased going to Mrs Laruetta's, wheie she was staying almost as suddwMy as the day for sakes the horrizfm in that dreary season when twilights are not. But if he could shut himself out from the BairneUas he could not shut Miss Rosa out from general so ciety ; and go where he would, h met her a "most nightly, laughing gayly, singing sweetly, dancing 'ightly, till he declared to himself that, if this was going to last, he must erase feoiog at all. But that was a little too much ; he did not know how positively to deny him self th mere sight other. Yet things were growing ve:y precarious when he could not take a book but he saw mat blushing, gold-en ringed face elide in between tUe pages, when he could not make out a writ without being in danger of slipping her name into the b'anks, when he beard the delicious voice murmuring in bis ears when he waked and walked all night with the little spirit when he slept. He made a compromise with himself ft was all he could ami fa ctored that at any rate he would not dance with her again. It was an idle effort. He mignt almost as wel! have danced with herasliave sood looking at her, quite unconscious of his general air, and all the lover in h s glance. Mrs. Barnetta beckoned him to her side ; he stood there just as Rosa came up from he promenade and left the arm of one cavalier to be carried off by another. "You are not dancing, Mr. Malyin ?" she said. "Oh. would you hold my fan and handkerchief?" He followed them witn nis eye again .as the music crashed into a dashing galop. What right had that other man with bis clasp about this darling"' Why did he suffer it? What decency was there in the society that com manded such sacrifice ? In his era- urace wnir.iug wildly to this wild music ! , . v "You do hate him, don't you?" said Mrs, Bariieta in bis ear. "If looks could slay" He started. Was he carrying nis heaat upon his sleeve for daws to peck at? "Oh. I don't pity you a bit," laughed Mrs. Barnetta, low-toned. And putting out her hand, she took Rosa's fan and opened it as she talked. "Any body," said she, "with such a power of maktng misery, ought to enjoy it," f"I I beg your pardon, Mrs. Bar netta, but if vou read me riddles, I must ask you also to be their Sphinx." ' Oh no ; it was the function of the Sphinx to propound the riddles, not to solve them." And Mrs. Barnetta laughed her low, pleasant laugh. "You do not come to us any more," she said. "And, as I used to be in your confidence before you deserted me, I can imagiue the reason. I do not like to say that it is very shabby treatment of an old friend. Of course I cannot say that it is rude. But if you do not dance with Miss Mercier this evening, I shall be fearfully offended. I am not going to have my little treasure made unhappy for the sake of the safety of the prince of all good fellows himself." Lucian changed color so suddenly that Mrs, Barnetta put out her hand in affright, half expec ing to see him fall ; but in a moment he was himself again. "Do you Is Miss Mercier " he began, and paused half way. "As if I should say another word, and had not already said altogether too much !" said Mrs. Barnetta. "There, she has left dancing and gone for an ice. What do yod think of rpund dances, on the whole ?" And they were, to all appearances, deep in a discussion of the subject when Rosa returned and swept her late partner a courtesy, and took shelter on the other side of Mrs. Barnetta. Perhaps she had seen the way Lucian 's eyes had followed her, and it had given her a certain illumination that made her shrink. Just then the band., began one of the Hungarian waltzes, a sweet and rapturous measure that eet the blood itself to dancing in one's veins. Why pot? One last dance, one last mo ment of ecstasy, ere he went out for ever into loneliness. Directly he crumpled the bit of lace into his poeket. and was bending before the little Rosa, who seemed suddenly to have lost all her light gayety. and who put out her hand to him with a conscious burning blush upon her face that his heart reflected in a melt ing glow. And then there was no thought of pride, or of negation, or forgettiug; the music was swinging them at its will ; they circled in each other's anus to its delicious and de lirious movement eternity would hardly have any bliss for lovers be yond the bliss of this moment. Yet only a moment was it, a few mo ments, a brief sweet space of half conscious time ; and then a faint recognition crept through its spell and warned Lucian of the poison in this honey. He was in tne act of surren der ; he was about to seal his fate and that of this dear girl; to take her away from her father's wealth auu her luxurious eae and condemn her to the carking cares of poverty. All his nature rebelled ; he chose not to be swayed by this melody of horns aud strings; he would! have no pas sion, net her music nor love, so master his soul as to become the element in wnich it swam, an exclusion of thought and fear, of sight and sound, and all other emotion ; and, with his imperious determination, he chose to break the enchantment; the real world crept back upon his senses; he heard the tune, beyond this cloud that wrapped them, breaking again into its distinctive measure, and, ex erting his will, lie controlled their steps, and paused at last beside Mrs. Barnetta, and with a low bow, and without a word, gave Rosa back into that lady's care, and passed into the crowd and out of the place, and home to his lonely rooms. It was daybreak before he sought repose, walking the floors till tnen, hardly knowing what he did or what he thought, but intent upon conquer- WARREN TON, IN. G, FRIDAY AUGUST U, 1S76 ing himself. He would give the world for Rosa Mercier's love, but be would not give bis pride. To him that pride meant self-respect; to marry her, the child of opulence, meaut either to sell himself for a price or to reduce her to tiouble and weari ness in which her love might soon wear ouf. He did not doubt that love now ; without a syllable's speech he wu, sure or it w niie it thrilled him wildly and deeply, it cast a sudden . , - , i i .jvu.j 011 1 u a.. n '.- e 1 cursed his fcfethat torcio SUCH a tninjr that nrcsanlhr thu would pass, and some one who would i a-iawe ner napp er would claim her. A 4 l , Al . ..... At length, with maledinh mi in tUa act, he emptied his pockets of the gloves, handkerchiefs, and trifles there, and wJent to bed. with the sun coming through the curtains, and, worn out in body and mind, slept, to the blessed and thorough obliviou of all the world. When be awoke it was late in the day. All his trouble rushed over him. but in a moment all his will to repel it rose too. He dressed himself leisurely ; he meant to call that night on Miss Mercier restore her hand kerchief that he bad forgotten to give back after the dance, and in some in direct way let her know that he in tended never to marry, and so seal his doom beyond hope. He went into the next room when be had com pleted his toilet, and. after attending to oae or two other afla:rs, looked for the handkerchief that he remembered to have taken from his pocket and to have tossed unon the table there. Tt. was not on the table ; it was nowhere iu the room. In a panic he fang the bell, and when it was answered, in stituted an inquiry concerning toe thing. Yes, indeed, Susan had seen it, and thought it was so yellow and soiled she would take it down and wash it. "Lore, sir, it was the dirtiest little rag," she said. "Just straw color. And I thought I would give it a run through the tub and blueing and make it fit to be seen " "Good heavens!" he cried, with a horrified flash of remembrance of haviug somewhere heard that the yellower lace was, the more precious it was, and that it never was washed on any account excent by people who uiu nmnirg eise. - j.et me nave it at once." And in five minutes after ward Susan stood oefore him holding up a little hmp rag. and with a pangf as from the blow of something tin- jib iruixi nie diow or sometninar un known and dreadful, the conversa tion that he had heard over the tran ?om of the hntel door, a year or two Jtgo, swept back upon his recollec tion. Five hundred dollars! And gone to grief in a riSoment! And necouid no more replace it than he could fly, Without what was the same to him as absolute ruin. Of course he must re place it ; he could not be indebted, through the stupidity of his servant, or through any other means, to Miss Mercier in that sum. Without any doubt she valued such a bit of lace; and if anything were needed to demonstrate to him the wisdom of the course he had decided on, and the utter absurdity of having dared for a single moment to look with love on one of these darlings of fortune, it was the fact that her handkerchiefs alone were items of $500. What a shame! what wickedness! what a preposterous folly ! How could a young man marry ? He burned with indignation then. But to replaoe it ; one-third of the sum he was saving to redeem his lit tle property from mortgage all the money he really had in the world neyond that for his daily exDenses ! It was the ruin of his hopes, his am bitions, his pride, that scorned so to be anybody's debtor; it threw him back in the race how long! , But it must be done. He had a trifle "over $500 in the Xational Solvency bank. He drew his check for the necessary sum, and folded it away in his pocket book, and then went about his busi ness till nightfall, when he came back to his dreary rooms aod made himself ready for a call at Mrs. Bar netta's. The night had never seemed so beautiful, the stars so large and keen and far above the arth so remote and cold they typified all the dear and happy things of life forever re moved from him. His heart was chilled and his face was white when he stood at last in Mrs. Barnetta' drawihg-room, and she floaUd for ward to meet him. He had not asked for Miss Mercier. f,It is a delicate errand, Mrs Bar netta," said he. with a dreary attempt at smiling. "But the truth is that my maid, in. her offic ous kindness, has done such damage to a bu of Miss Meicier's property that I must re place it. And I have come to beg you, out of your friendship forme, to transact the affair if such an article can be replaced here. I believe these little trifles are rather costly, and, if you will procure one" and he laid the check he had drawn that morn ing and the little limp rag in Mrs. Barnetta's hand "as like the oiigi nal as possible, I" "My dear Mr. Malvin, what in the world are you talking of?" cried Mrs. Barnetta. "Have 3-011 money to throw about in this way ? Five "hun dred dollars what is it for?" "To replace Miss Mercier's hand kerchief, if you will be so good as to make the purchase." "Like this?" said Mrs Barnetta holding up the limp rag by one corner. t4L ke that," said Lucian. "Oh, that is too good !" cried Mrs. Barnetta, with a peal of laughter. "It is too good, it is too absurd! What creatures men are ! Did you imagine that this bit of finery was worth all that this little strip of grass-cloth and German lace? No wonder the young men don't marry then ! My dear Mr. Malvin, this miserable band kerchief costs exaetly $2.50, and was nearly worn out at that. Did you imagine, t, o. that my poor little Rosa could wear $500 handkerchiefs, with out a cent to her name?" "Without a cent to her name?" cried Lucian, spring to his feet. "Exactly. Aha! Is that the trouble? Now why did..'t you come and talk it all over with me in the war you used to do. and save your self this vexation, and save my little illfl4 Rosa too ?
