"Percy most surely • come' for me in a day or so," she thought, .With all a young girl's enthusiestic hopefulness. "Until then I must try to endure my life at Wtldwood as best I can." Ida Waldron was like no young girl that Itosehtin had ever mt. She was cold, formal, and distant; she had no pretty, artless, girlish - thoughts, such as young maidens generally delight to confide to each other. All her thoughts centered up- on the idea of capturing a wealthy husband. She made this and fash- Me the one study of her life. It was little wonder pretty little Rosebud Arden felt so sadly out of Mace in the false etmosphere that pervaded her aunt's stately home. Two long dreary weeks passed at Wildwood; still Resebud recited no reply to cithcr of .the letters she had written to Percy.

"It is quite true," site murmured, bitterly. "Percy Fielding could woo end win the wealthy heiress, but in her hour of reed he will not retnem- tee the pellet less orphan."

Rosebud had pictured, with all a child's vanity, what u. grand triumph it would bo to marry Maudy's lover and leave The Willows. She had never once given a thought as to . whether she Imes! him or not. Such an idea had never occurred to her us she watched his darkly handsome face, upon which the radiant moon- light fell as he swayed with such boyish grace to end • fro on the bough of the chetfry-tree. • "Oh, I must have twee blind—Mad, when 1 coneeated," cried Rosebud re - a "1 lind not seen Raymond: Inelle thee. ...1111 I would have been satis- lied to hate SW11 .1%011 Illarljod 10 O- ther of them.

A. girl with your attractions ought to meke a 'success of such an opportunity," A little harsh laugh broke from Idn's eri221SOZ1, pouting lips. "You are .much mistaken, tnamtuas in thinking Raymond Leslie is bash., ful," she *said; "he is anything but that—calm, self-possessed and exceed- ingly polite, with a heart as cold as an iceberg." "You tire talking nonsense," re, torted ' Mrs. Waldron, sharply. "Young men with hearts in their bosoms and youthful blood in their veins are not insensible to a pretty girl's charme." "I wish I could feel as sanguine upon the subject as you do, mam- ma," cried idn; "but these cold, stern natures chill 2110, and I can never feel as though I could breathe freely in .

"I don't care where you go. so long as you don't go near the front garden, or the library,'' snapped Rim, flouncing out of the room, her heart in a flutter, as she walked hur- riedly toward the wait ingeroom where Raymond Leslie awaited her. Rosebud took her broad-brinuned sun -hat in her hand, and walked slowly down the back staircase into the garden. Front. the library she heard gay, laughing voices: one was Ida Wal- dron's, and the other a deep, manly musical voice that sounded strangely familiar to her. They were discus- sing the beautiful poem, "For Me." The rich cadence of the deep, full voice made Rosebud's heart thrill strangely, as the wards floated out to her ahem she sat.

Quito mechanically. without thought or into at, Rosebud picked up her hat again and steolled on- ward through the garden.
