Behind them in the distance Bounded tho band, playing soft, dreamy waltz mimic. But what cared'they for dancing and the hot, crowded ball room? : In all the world for him there was only one woman, and she stood, her hands clasped in his, her bdnd resting on his shoulder. \You won ’ t forgot mo, darling, ” ho whispered, \when I .am thousands of miles away, at the other side of-the “world,\ ujid luttois are long in ooming ? You ’ ll remember that I mn> coining book in two years at tho latest, to claim my little wife. ” _ _ . “ Oii r it can ’ t bo really true, Geof frey, that you sorb going to-morrow? too, dreadful to think of l And it ’ s not I that .will forget. I shall think of you night and day until you come back. * But you ’ ll most likely meet with some lovely American girl all ''Xmorlctiir' ’ 'wbinoir Titb • lo^ly,^\ you know — and then you ’ ll forgot oll-ftbbut poor little MyHio .Trnfl.ord, who is waiting for you in England, ” \When I am out on the great lone ly prairies,\ ho said dreamily, “ I shall just shut my eyes and think my self back to this night I ahull hoar the band in tho distance, I shall feel you - once more in my arms, odd I shall smell the faint odor of the helio trope you are wearing. ” . For answer she took a piece of the heliotrope from her drestl. \Here ’ s ft little bit of it, ” she mud. ‘ When you meet that lovely Ameri can, and wish that you Were free, and that this evening had never boon,then you can put that little flower iu an envelope, and you needn ’ t .write a word to put in with it, but just ad dress it to me, and when I got it I shall know what it - means, and you wi 1 1 bo free.Y ------- . \What uonsohso, Mysiel ” ho said angrily. \Why do you talk like that? You know — ” / . [ ' ' \Oh hero you are ! ’ ’ cried a BhrUl* voice. \I have been looking for you everywhere. Mr. Castleford. is as jOrosB up ho can bo, ^lyflie.;. Ho says you promised him the lust two dances, and thou you disappeared and no one could find yfcni ; nud os for you, Mr. HqmiHou, I think you ’ had better keep out of the way altogether, after disappointing Lady May and goodness knows-who besides. ” And Gertrude, Mysio ’ s sister, chattered on, totally uncoufloious that she was a most un welcome intruder. — __ . .. She and Myaio had been taught that it was their duty to make good matches, and Geoffrey Hamilton, with no money,, and just off for America, was so entirely ineligible-that she sus pected nothing, and ruthlessly insisted ou their immediate return to tho ball room. diil so? She drew out a sheet .uf blank note paper from the folds,of Which a little piece of dead heliotrope slipped nnd ; fell to the floor, \Mysie you must oojue down, ” sard Gertrude. \Mr. Castle ford is down stairs, and motlier says you arc to come, ” ns Mysie looked . rebellious. \But you must change your dross; you can ’ t coino iti that. Has Anything happened? You look very queer. ” \No ” said Mysie, with a strange litllo laugh; \at least nothing of im portance. I will oorne dovm pres ently. ” In a very short time she was iu tho drawingsronm, and .Herbert ^CastUb ’ , ford, ns ho looked at her, thought ho had never soen Jior so beautiful. Ho Had loved her for years, but ho had received so little enconrngumont from lier that ho had not spoken ; but to night ho had dejer mlned to - p ut/hls fate to tho tost, while poor Mysie, withapain- ftt-iior„heortWy fllLBi yyjllg to herself that if Geoffrey could forgot easily, why, so 6cmId stie. And so it oarao about that a few hours later she returnedlo her room, having pledged herself to Herbert Castleford. Instead of the hoop of pearls she had never worn she pos sessed.a handsome diamond ring, and tlio dead flower, nua thr poarls wore put far away out of sight, to be for gotten — if possible. When she ifoovered HerbertCustlo' ford had gou ’ o. A few hasty linos from : him besought her forgivenosspind told Her Geoffrey was now ou his way back to Etiglaud.'to find biit w'hy b I io had uoUwritton to him ; that ho hoped they ' would have-been married before Goof* frey could arrive, but, that how he would go away and never trouble hbl \You Will forgive me, Geoffrey, won't you,\ she said, \for abutting; . L you? But it seemed so terribly true ! Look! , Hero are the envelope aud the flower. ” - - - \And here is the flower you gave mo, ” said Geoffrey. \There's not, much -difference, certainly, between tlicim, but Tugai'Tliii^; the-ouveloire — - woll, I must give you a few speoimona hf my handwriting when I - go away again, so that you may not be taken in so easily. ” \But I shall never let you go away again, ” said Mysie. And that was how they arranged it. /Mysie loekcd_ often at the little hoop of pearls — the pledge of her be trothal — but never put it on,.-except in hex own room just for a few min utes. Somehow as tho.days wont by it seemed harder to speakyof that evon- ing.to her mother, especially as her mother hod not the faii^ost suspicion of anything of tho sorf. And so a month passed away. Then one evening Mysie returned from a walk and saw a letter lying on the hall table, One glaucje at lier own name and tho postmark — | “ New York — and she snatobod up the letter,won dering if any one had nbticod it, thou ran up to her own room, and fllofteil tho door to enjoy it iu peace. Tho fire burned brightly aud looked inviting, and she drew up a low easy- ohair and seated herself comfortably os she broke the soul of tho envelope. What was tho faint perfume as she Six months had passed and Herbert Castleford wns/pressing for an early .marriage. Mysie and her mother had gone away from homo immediately after her baooming - engaged. Mysie flouiplftioed of the eoid and looked so delicate that her mother took her to the south of Franco, where,sopu after, Cnstleford followod them. Mysie seemoiV willing that tho wed ding should take place wiioupyer thoy^ liltedto nfrange; it, 6b-matterd Av6# being pushed to 8111 ^,^ 11,0 ‘ itnpatient lover, when onodny Gottnulo ran into 4ho room...whom .Mysio a nd Herber t were sitting. ’ \Look Myaio 1 ” phe cried. \Hero' is a lovely bunch of flowers from that dear count! Isn ’ t he fiilly? And they are such beauties I Only smell* thorn 1 Oh, I am so pleased ! Look 1 Hero are a bit of heliotrope and some maidenhair that will just do,for you. ” To her surprise Myeio turned pale and shrank buck, looking almost appealingly at her lover, who was watching her. As their eyes mot there was some thing in his — an expression, a ooii- sciousnoBB, n what? Mysie did not know, but a great trembling seized' her. A hundred thoughts seemed to p ass th ro ugh tier mind in a m oment, but of' one thing she was certain — Herbert Castleford knew nil about those playful, loving words spoken out on tho terrace on tho never-to-be- forgotten night. Then, leaning, forward, she asked, ns if they had already been speaking, to each other.: \How did you send it from Now York? ” . - “ I — that is — what do you moan, Mysie? I never sent it t ” Seeing that her clear eyes seemed to rend him through, he attempted no more denial, but just caught her hands in his and implored her to for- vu him. “ I onino out to look for you that niKht,\ ho Bind, “ and I hoard what you ' worn saying just ns Gertrudo enmo upon you .field tho othor aido, and it was unoli- a leiiiptalion, foi-X loved yon dearly — much bettor than ho did.
