Th re was a tiny circular gatden, filled. to overflowing With pansies, geraniiims aad roses ; a house which looked like a magnificent pepper box, completely hid- - den fora view by masses of hop vines, honeysuckles, and. the red blossoms of - some' flower benas. The aoon sun poured its het beams over. everything, making e (lusty leaves sparkle as if some be- evolent fairy had. powdered. them with &mina dust. - . , In contrast to the ; outside heat , and lare Ruy Blasmonti satmtering along he s sided piazza in ais spotless white me suit, seemed a perfect miracle .of ess. He was a slim, handsome an, about thirty, with regular features wit a light olive coniplexion. His hair and he small black moustache he wore vied with his eyes in intense blackaess. Such eyes ! they spolse when their.own- er's eyes were silent, and expressed what: ever he intended. , , He paffed laeily at R cigar; and taking I his Stand where the shade fell dark, Ica:keel out on the sun beaten road. " Parbleau!" he Muttered. " What care I for heat ? Heat is my element. It is well—for doubtless I'll have esiough of it &eine day," And he laughed sardonia cally. "I think I'd tether enjoy a war with hia Satanic Majesty." He paused an instant. " Ab., hare • he comesa-the young farmer. What brings him at this hour ?" A young man had just rounded the corner of the nearest liouse, and was ., oosenag toward the Blesnaont garden. A stalwart, brown -faced man with a frank, open, look. He nodded slightly to Ruy Blasmont, and. said : ," Is Mise Rose at homeTV3 - " Mademoiselle Blasniont is not at home," her brother 'answered, slightly raisiag his eye -brows aad playing with his moustache, to show the large diantond ring that glitteretl'on his right hand. John Brightly hesitatbds He ,did hot believe Ruy Blasniont's assertion. He distrusted him too greatly to credit any- thinghe might say ; besides, he did not feel =elated to retrace his way through the hot fields without accomplishing the end for which heaad come. His hesitation did not last long. A petite figure, clothed in some airy fabric of pink and. white, came hastily through the French window. It was Rose Bias- mont. " Ph,, Mr. Brightly !" she exclaimed, smiling, and offering her hand. " I thoaght I heard yoar voice." " I understood from what your brother said you wete not at home." "Why, he knew ae-she began, butshe hadtoo much tact tO continue. "I meant," said Ray Blasmont, „with an insolent glance at John Brightly, " that my sister might not be at home to this-a-ahein !—gentleman." John Brightly's face flushed, but he took no other notice . of the insult, for Rose laid hand on his arm, and. whisper- ed— • . "Poor Ray isn't well. He is—what do you Americans call it ?" "Insolent," John Brightly could not help saying. " Oh,' no, no, no. Only a little Vexed --oross. Come into the parlor. It is 10 8 uch cooler there. Que vous etes bon ! • a &ma sont magnifiques !" she ex- laimea, catching sight of the large clus- rs of water -allies that Brightly carried his hand, " You forgot that I ,clon't understand ender," he said, smiling. for the first e as he followed her into the Parlor. " .A.h, oui ! What a pity ! Bat I ara o thankful to you. I must sing at Mrs. Moreland's -garden paity to-aight, and ehese are the veritable flowers. I love taost to wear." . 1 " You told me so last evening." I " And therefore you , walked. through ihe hot sun to bring them. How good brou are !" , I " It is not such a sacrifice. This is Fy dinner honr„ you know. We farmers re extremely busy just at present, so I natched sufficient time 'to pay yen a 'sit.' , , " Then you will lencle with us. Ex - use me for an instant, 'awl, I will pre- are--" , " No, I wieh to speak to you." " Strawberries and cteam ! Can yon , esist the temptation ?" she said, laugh - ng, and trying to escape. " Besides; ou never tried my sponge cake." " Rose," he said, gravely, " give rae a ew momenta I have something to say o you." Ruy Blasmont drew near the winclow, ncl arranged himself in a corefortable sition for hearing all that might be aid. Rose resumed her seat, her eyes cast ilown, and the color varying in her face. { " I have a queStion to ask you, Rose. 1Will you be my wife ?" I I Ruy whispered. through the lace cur- tain a sibilant " No." IRose heard the words, ' a,nd turned pale. To her her brother's will was law. 1 "I don't know," she faltered. " I taTanot yet tell." I The eager look on the - young farmer's tace gave way to disappointment. " I ave bees' abnipte but I thought that 1 erhaps my actions have givea you rea- on to expect that I might ask .this uestion." , Rose was silent. " you think I am too impatient.

" I have been an involuntary I stenerto your conversation; and par- 1 on me if I interrupt it to correcta slight i •sta•ke. '' Monsieur Brightly, the young 1 dy .who has this instant promised to arry you is alreadyapledged to another the rich proprietor, Monsieur Wills." John langhtly looked inquiringly- at ose. Rose steraed astonished—and then! b r color heightened; and she cried in- iguantly : ' It is false ?" " It is true. I have promised Moll- ie . &leer Wills tthat you shall become his e within the year."* " You. !" exclaimed Rose, with a ges- re of utter scorn. " By„what right ?" demanded Bright - 1 . "By my right as the young lady's arclian and only relatima, "I deny that any such right exists," c ied the young farmer passionately. " Take care Ruy Blasmont—take care.
