Swiftly, as iffearing his resolution might fail him, he walked along. Only once he pausei. It was the corner or the street where Georgia lived. In the distance he could see the white walls of her cottage home, with rose vines climbing up by the low door. breaking out in clusters of crimson bloom, and rambling with He rose up as he spoke. His pur- pose was fixed and immovable -,ynu would have read that in the rigid look his face put on and the void ex- pression of his dark eyes as lhe hoi- low air gave back the echo of his words. He was twenty years older for that afternoon‘s struggle and de- termination! Wh:ch should he choose ; And 1his was why the shadows Qrcw deeper on his face, and his head drooped lower on his folded hands. as he sat in his room with twilightpurpling around him and the first pale star of the evenng glitleringund winkingalhim through the open window. as if mocking at him for his unmanly hesitation. “Georgia, dear Gemfiuin. may God forgive me if I break your heart for my resnhniun is taken.” That they both loved him l:e was sure, for Georgia had told him so with her young head lying on his his heart, aml the lids of her sol! eyes drooping beneath the passion- alc glances ul‘ his ; and Julia’s low: damned upon him through all those delicately given signs by which a pl‘nml woman signifies her prefer- ences.

And could he sacrifice that 'l the one had eyes like fringed violets, a mouth that seemed ripened into redness by the kisses of angels, a forehead like the rounded petal of a lily, and set in its surrounding of nut-brown curis as in a halo; the other with eyes bewilderingr in their sloe-like blackness, lips crimson as the deepest hearts oftropical roses, and heavy braids of midnight hair, wound. like a Coronet of jet, about a head, haughty enough for an Empress. There could scarcely have been a greater difference between the two, and yet the young man’s heart was sorely trouhled to choose be- tween them. Not that he could not tell which was dearest, for in the violet eyes of Georgia Ellwood seemed concentrated all the light his existence and ever known. But Julia Morton would bring him lands and gold, while Georgia alas! was pot‘tionless.

The white brocade who of the bride looked like stifi't‘olds of frost-Work, and the veil that floated downward from her queenly head was like a mist of snow. People said that Charlie Howard’s Fortune was made and those who hardly recognized his extstence before, clasped his hand, and oH'ei'cd their congratula- tions to the rich sonâ€"inâ€"law of rich Mr. Norton. But they knew not his heart was freezing to ice within his breast, or how bitterly he turned from their hollow pioi‘essions of friendship and kindness. to dwell rc- morsefully on the haunting memory ul‘a lilo whose happiness he had wrecked l‘urcver. Years went by, the name of Charles Howard was known and honored throughout the length and breadth of his native land. Wealth and honor flowed almost without seeking into his hands. And ~vet he was not happy. IIis youthful dream was realized, but it did not warm hack into life the swuct hope he had emshud for its attainnmnt.â€"- He had plucked the ripe fruits of a az‘atified ambition only to have them turn to ashes on his his. He had hound his brows with laurels, but to feel the thorns budding upon his temples. His wife, learningr too late that her galdand not her love had won him hardened gradually into an icy. brilliant Woman of the world. Children had been given him, but death had claimed them all in infancy. and in the prime of his manhood, he stood desolate hearted and alone. yearning to put by all the achievements of a successful life in GXChange for the peace he 1nd bartcred so wantonly. There was no gentle home attractions for him ; no tender wil'ely sympathies; no loving true-hearted woman at whose feet he could lay down his trophies and feel that her smile more than recompensed him for all.
