Mrs. Thome had died when the cream cheese was lu lta early stagt-s, and the millionaire's only child, Kllzahcth, was the typical daughter of the niau who has achieved financial greatness. She was slender, buoyant, bi-autlful and a certain clubman declared that she had the air of having "fed on the roses and lain In the lilies) of life." Through aenuulnttmcpshlp with cer tain American notables and by right divine of print' and gold Miss Eliz abeth Thome had attained unto the ex perience of a London season. Illrani had Ix-cn under the horrible Impres sion that America expects every wom an to demaml a duke, and the thought of confronting a large band of hungry creditors belonging to a certain "grace" had dlsturlied his peace. Hut he was spared such a llnaiiclal shock, for every wearer of the magic eight strawierry leaves was abroad or already provided with a father In law, and at the end of the season there were but two mem-ln-ra of the aristocracy who were any serious nnnoyamt'. There was Sir Aubrey lVnrhyn, who was possoMseil"of a tumbledown castle In Wales and of many ancestors whoso deeds bud Isen of doubtful sanctity. The castio was sadly In need of repulrs, anil Its owner had an appreciation of maidens with golden hair and enlm gray eyes. There fore when his monociod glance rested upon Klizatieth Thome be felt that fa to had been more than polite to him, and ho proceeded to compass the fair American with floral observances. Hut he was elderly and Impervious to Jokes, HE WAB KLIiF.HLT AND IMFBUVIOCB TO JOKES, and his nose was crimson tipped, like Hums' mountain dulsy, but tiiero the comparison censed, for It was neither wee nor modest Sir Aubrey tind made known the fullness of his heart, though ho made no mention of the emptiness of his exchequer; but Eliza beth had deferred her reply until Octo-Is-r, wiiou she was to meet Sir Aubrey at the AltiRlecs' house jmrty. The otlier azuiv liloiKled suitor was the Huron von Kelson, who ( was an Anglo-Crer-mnn of undoubted possessions. Ills castle was In better shape than tliat lielonglng to Sir Anting', and the same might Is- said of his nose. He wuh de cidedly god looking In a heavy blond fashion. I "Hut I know he'll lie fearfully fat some day, and ho smiles so eternally," pntmblixl P.Uwibeth to her chaperon, Mrs. OuiT-4 ionloti of New York.

Mr. Warren l'uge was an Kr.lisli art ist, tl.e jotmger son of an ugiil family, mid his talent was surnai'nsl genius by B circle of admiring friends. He had been IntMdueod to Miss Thome at the New York horse show, had fallen In love wtjh her at the Iiouvre In Purls and had endeavored more than once to lay his heart and his prospects at her feet, but man's desire to propose had been foiled by his owu consciousness "THE TIUTI! IS THAT I'VK 1XIST A I'lhU OP MONKV." of the disparity In dollars, by the lady's consciousness of a certain heart fail ure and by the determined guard kept by Sir Aubrey and tlie noble baron. These two gentlemen had so far re membered tho'resc that stamps the caste of the I c Veres as to snub se verely the aspiring young artist. Hut this is an age w hen India Ink is might ier thun blue blood, and Mr. Warren Page hoarded these Insults In his heart until, like Mr. Zogbaum. he was pre pared to "draw things with u pencil." On n certain morning In ScptemlM-r, when tlie sea was shifting from sap phire to emenilil and the sky wiis one blue rebuke to those who would revile the climate of Devon, then- came to K'lanbcth a sketch that amused wrath In her gentle soul. In the background was u venernblo castle, decidedly the worse for centuries of wear, and the ravages that .time had made on Its walls were Is'lng repaired with round and radiant American dollars. Occupy ing n prominent place In the fore ground was the figure of Sir Aubrey, and occupying n prominent position In the face of Sir Aubrey was Ills putii- dnn proboscis. The eyes were lack luster, the mouth was n wavering line, and the forehead wuh of a retiring na ture, but tlie artist had sMtit bis best efforts on the woman In the scene. Heatitlful In Its willowy grace, but with a suggestion of utter weariness, was the form of the young creature whosi face was that of KUzatx-th. Tlicre was a sadness almut the proudly cut mouth. a bitter regret In the dreamy eyes. Tin tears were not far away as the lh-sh and blood Ellznlieth read the line be neath : Oh, there's nothtnK half so rew.t !n llfu as love's young dream! She thought of the garden party where Mr. Pug had done bis manly best to 6ocure her undivided attention and where she, with a slight dread of the Inevitable hour, hwl objected to a tete-n-teto and had continued to absorb the glassy admiration liestowed by Sir Aubrey's BUinoes. Sho had U-cti cold and Sir Aubrey had been colder to' the youthful artist, and, behold, the Is-ttor man laid taken Inky vengeance. "It's too bud of Mr. Iuge." Elizabeth said In anger. Hut sho looked at tlie slender, stately girl, and a pit-used dim pie came in her right cheek. She looked at the grim form of Sir Aubrey, and a yawn widened her dainty mouth Tlie more sho cortslden-d tlie woman in the picture tb more kindly she thought of the artist who bad dealt so tenderly with her toiiuty. Tlie more she considered th figure of Sir Aubrey the greater fatigue she experienced. Hut when she regarded the good Aun-r lean dollars that were making strong the Welsh habitation sho rebelled against such use of her country's silver and thought that more diamonds won rather to be chosen than an old name. When u second parcel came directed In that bold yet delicate handwriting she opened It almost as eagerly as If It bad contained a hat from Vlmt Tin sketch was entitled "Kuroiie fc Amer lea," and In uudaclty It excelled Mr. lap''B fomu r prodturtlon. It depleted otusj- more an exceedingly attractive maiden who Wire n startling resem blaiK-e to Miss Thonie. At her feet knelt two grotesque figures, in which bow-ever, might l-e seen u fatal likeness to Sir Aubrey and Hint worthy Teuton, the Huron von Iietsen. Kadi gentle man was extending a battered coronet and beneath the plcturo was the legend. "You pays your money and you takes your choice."
