I wonder how it would seem to be a rich lady. I wonder how it would seem to live in a grand house The sun had set behind the stent- the grey twilight stretched itself like a véft over the river that crept sluggishly at the foot of the lawn, and the stars began to g'immer faintly here and there, while a tall overgrown girl of some shawl wrapped around her head.and a basket balanced on her arm, stood peeping "furtively under the half- drawn blinds of the front drawing- room. Jenny Wyat€ meant no harm. Genevieve Tiouisn had been the name bestowed upon her by her mother who had no other especial heritage to leave ber. She only meant to look in at the brilliantly lighted apartment, just she might have feasted her eyes on a thicket of roses, or any other beautiful and attractive thing. And it was a pretty sight. Miss Lamar, leaning over the chair where Carll Bankford sat, her long jetty curls almost touching bis forehead, her finger tracing some particular part of the mewspaper he was reading: : «They're lovers,' said Jenny to herself; 'they must be lovers. Oh, isn't be handsome ? I wish I Had a lover.' And yet, different as Miss Lamar appeared from Jenny Wyatt, there was but a year or two's disparity in their ages. Bat Emily Lamar bad grown up like a tropic rose under the glass roof of a conservatory, fettered and cherished by the sunshire of pros. perity'and affection, and poor Gen- evive Louisa had sprung up in the shade, thriving and growing as best she might. Suddenly, as the dark-browed young beauty chanced to look up, her glance foll on the face pressed close against the window-pane. her glance. to the room. as an elderly gentleman at the other end of the toom glanced up in mild surprise. * Wo are honored by un. expested bompany!

And Jenny Wyatt, tingling all over with mortification and a vague resentment crept out once more into tho darkness, and flingibg her. self upon the grass, When she was once beyond view from the house, she wept the bitterest tears she bad ever shed. «But I'll be revenged" said Jenny sitting up, and pushing the wet hair out of her eyes with one hand, while she shook the other towards the house; 'see if I'm not.' Half an hour afterwards, when she entered the little one-stary cot~ tage of the gatdener, near the lodge gates, she found George Wyatt spelling over the contents of a letter by the light of one sputtering candle. «News, gal, news! said the old man. I've got a latter from your uncle in Paris. He's dropped into a good thing. Ho's made money; and he wants his sisters daughter to come over to him and be maden lady of!

Five years have passed since the summer inight when the heirese saw the big blue eyes staring in at the drawing room window.

Genovieve Medway sat in the superbly decorated little boudior which was her special sanctum in the great houss where dwelt the millionaire as Jonas Med way was called. A boudoir all rose-satin and gild- ing--a room scented with freshly cut hot-house flowers, and scattered with the rutost and most expensive knick<knacks: Miss Medway heisélf, in 8 Wat- teau morning costume of white cashmere, looked like some fair statue as she sat at little margue- terie table, idly playing with a silky black spaniel, whose silver collar wiis scarcely visible from the luxu- riance of his lotig, curly hair. «Take care, Bijou,' she said light ly. ¢Sitstill, hero comes a card.

Emily Lamar entering, was fairly dazzled by the brilliance of the young blonde beauty-- but she never dreamed of recognizing in her the old gardener's daughter. « Miss Medway,' she faltered, 'I suppose you are at a loss to conjec- ture the business that brings me here ?'
