I Ethel Morion read and re-read thia let- | lor which ahe had }uat leceivcd. Il was I from a lover with whom ahe had flirted ! all summer. He had been to see her U>e I previous night, and under Ibe influence i of her fascinating manner and tparkliog brown eyes, had been led to apeak to her of his undying love " be cherished towards her. Ho hid asked her to bocome his wife and she bad refused him. After leaving her house he had gone home. The next morning he wrote Ills letter to her and lmmcdlan'ly£ma!lcd It. , ing place on the Atlantic coast st which there a large cottage standing In the ■ midst of curefully laid out " landscape" ground. Both the house and Its picturesque turroundlngs were famed at the rcaon and Ralph Holloway thought hlm1 self extremely fortunate in being permitted to Tiait the daughter and heiress to lie left the city every friday afternoon and remained ot 11 — until Monday morning, returning to the city. He was a free young man and one deserving of much commendation, lie had good conauctions, and was the Junior partner In one of the largest wholesale houses of Ibe metropolis, lie had been introduced to Miss Morton and then warned to keep away from her, odd as It may seem and incongruous as It is. He told his friends that he was able to lake care of himself, and for the flrat two or three weeks had was captured. The arrant coquette had made a breach In his armor, and then quickly enlarged it, until he was forced as possible. Mire Morton always found enjoyment in lighting the battle and positive exhilaration In winning II (as she always had done), but when It was over and her vicItalph. Rat in his case ahe had made a mistake. If she had told tho truth she but she didn't tell the truth— It wu nut her habit to do to. She thought she would play with him tor a while, and then tell him. She bad calculated wrongly ; he had taken hla •• rejection" and departed. It had broken bis heart; whether here was In such a slate would hare been hard to tell, for no one really knew as to whether she ownod such a thing. Yet U was certain to her mind, that, If ahe had none now,' Ralph Ilollo. She read hla farewell letter once more. Arising, ahe atruck a match and set the note on fire by it. She quickly blow the match out and let the epistle slowly bum. It did eo, Uie small flames flxxleg and cracking in miniature glee. Presently It was all burned, but tbe strange part of It was, tbe paper was so consumed that the large masculine" writing remained In tact, though the material was very fragile. You have ficquyntly seen ! auch ; it was a new experience with her. She generally 111 auch notes and burnt , them, never slopping to glance at Ihe remains. The latter had always been brushed into a trey and gitbn to her maid to deposit anywhere. Ethel carefully gathered these precious embers together soil almost lovingly • placed them In a treasured volume of poems (ana at his); then ahe raised the book to her mouth and kissed it. 8he had found, loo late, thai alio loved " Too late I too lata ! ye connotbear," —and It did seem that the angels were denying her— her heaven. Truly, she could not enter the heaven of love, and sad indeed la the mind that finds oot too lite, that it aeeka an affinity in another. Bhe was reaping the harvest sown by seeds of coquetry. Ethel left the cottage, and going out Into the grounds, ahe lay herself In a large hammock thai swing from two mammoth trees. Above her the clouds were becoming dark and lowering ; ahe gaxed pensively at them ; and thought, yet her musings wore not the brightest i nor the moat pleasing. The wind was tncrenilng and blew her t long, loose, raven hair all over her handsome face. Presently the black clouds 1 gave forth the premonition of the approaching storm. One dap of thunder was succeeded by another, and toon the lightning began 10 flash. The wind waa getting .higher and whistled Oamally i through tho trees. The rain began to tall, and Ethel ran Into the house. After writing and mailing his letter, Ralph made a careful toilet, L <b. as careful is poaalble under exlatlnf cir'cuastancca. Then be called a servant told him to paek several trunks full of clothes, for a long sea voyage. Bis servant waa bidden to get himself ready Ralph's parents were both dead, so he waa accountable to no one bul himself.
