Self made , self crowned He'stood among : his lofty dreams and weighed Their worth , together with the price he paid. A millionaire I He bartered love for this.

No childish voices echo through his past ; He wears his laurels , but he paid their price. Hose Hartwick Thorpe in Lippincott's. MIEIAM GUNTER , As I was hurrying homeward from nr office one evening in October I was de tained on a fashionable thoroughfare by many carriages. A society wedding re ception waa taking place. I watched a few ladies pass out of their carriages to the awning , and thence into the residence. It was rather inter esting to a novice the begloved men were so thoroughly conversant with tht minutiae of attending to the wants ol the fair ladies. From my position ] could look into the vast drawing rooms. There stood the ' ' ' ' 'happy couple , a handsome pair. He tall and dark , bill with eyes and mouth that spoke of a wil it would be dangerous to cross. She was also tall , with a winsome face of unusual brightness. It was a face that changed with everj breath. The blue eyes would grow black with excitement. The merry looking little month disclosed most of the time a set of beautiful white teeth. A wealth of brown hair ruffled and curled all over the well shaped head. Yes , she was a very bonny bride , and I did not wonder the young man looked at her with such an endearing gaze. No one would dare monopolize her attention with him around. I finally moved on , considering I had sentimentalized long enough. Six months later my circumstances were materially altered. I was in a po sition to enter society if I so wished , and at the urgent request cf my uncle I did so. It being known that I was heir to considerable wealth , I Had no trouble in securing plenty of partners. One evening at a large ball given by Mrs. Fred DeTancy , I was introduced to Mrs. Clarence Gtinter , in whom I imme diately recognized the bride of a few months before. The face was the same , yet changed. The eyes seemed larger than ever. This was probably owing to some dark lines under them. When the flush of excitement would go the face looked rather pale. It was an interesting face , and looked as though it held a story. Her husband stood near her , jealously guarding her. At least it looked that way. I asked her for a dance , but she glanced nervously at her card and said : "lou must excuse me this evening , Dr. Warren , but the little I dance will be with Mr. Gunter. ' ' "At least I sit few " I may out a , mur mured. "Oh , certainly , " with a bright smile. Well , that was the beginning of the end. I forgot that she was married , for got everything except that I was sitting by the side of the sweetest woman I had ever met. Her husband had left us with a scowl. I wondered if she was in the habit of using those blue eyes to such deadly effect ou all the gentlemen , she met. If so , how many slain there must have been. That evening I never forgot. Many more happy ones were passed by her side , but they never seemed the same. All that season I met Mrs. Gunter. I called frequently at her house , became friends with her husband , whom I soon got to like exceedingly. He was very fond of his wife , although he had a pe culiar way of showing it. She was never sure of hsr position. At a dinner party he would sharply repri mand her until at times I felt like chok ing him. She never showed by a sign that she noticed it. A laugh would turn the con versation , but I knew it cut like a knife. I met her once alone , after such a time in the hall. She did not see me at first. Her face was ashy white , and her blue eyes were dilated and looked like coals of fire. No one would ever have dream ed of calling them blue ; her hands were clasped convulsively , and in a hoarse whisner I heard : "I hate him ! I hate him ! Oh , God ! take him or me ! ' ' I stepped quickly forward , and in my excitement unwittingly used her first name. ' 'Don't , Miriam , don't ! You know not what you are saying. " "I wish I didn't , " she sullenly replied , and pushing by me hurried into the drawing room , and there I found her brightly discussing the merits of some of Whistler's etchings. I sat by her side and endeavored to converse rationally , but my heart's cry would not be stifled. "Oh , Miriam , Miriam , why did I not meet you first ! " She caught the passionate look in my eyes , and involuntarily shuddered. I collected myself and arose , saying I would take a turn in the gardens. As I did so there was a report and a bright flash , and there lay Miriam , white as death. I rushed to her , and although nearly wild with excitement managed to use my medical knowledge to advantage , and she soon opened her eyes. By this time the gentlemen who had remained in the dining room rushed into the room , and upon seeing Mrs. Gunter lying senseless the wildest excitement reigned. Her husband could not be calmed , and insisted that he should shoot himself if anything happened to Miriam. We calmed him finally by frequent assurances that she would recover. I had her carried to her room , and asked Mr. Gunter what medical attendance I should summon. "Why , Warren , IT ! trust her to yon , of course. If any one can pull her through you can. " My heart throbbed at the thought o holding her life in my hands , but I was determined to prove worthy in though and deed of the responsibility. In the mean time the police had been summoned and the place ransacked , bu no trace of the would-be murderer. I had had no time to speculate on that being fully occupied in writing prescrip tions to be filled and ascertaining the exact amount of danger Miriam was in I found that the ball had entered her left side , just escaping the heart. When my instruments arrived I probed for the ball and soon extracted it , leaving her free from danger. For several weeks I tended her , an < she gradually gained strength until at last she could sit on the piazza for an hour each bright day. During all 'the weeks the detectives had been at work but no clew could be found. No reason able theory could be formed. I questioned her if she "knew of any one who would have any motive for such a deed. She only shuddered , and it seemed to retard her recovery every time it was spoken. So finally it became accepted as a mys tery. I had called one afternoon and fount her sitting in her boudoir. She held oui her hand and said : "I am glad you have come , doctor. 1 want to talk to you. " ' I am always glad to be talked to , " 1 inanely remarked , wondering what was coming. "You overheard some words one night that require an explanation , " she began , and her face was bright scarlet. "They were wicked words , I am afraid , but 1 have thought them many times. "I met Mr. Gunter when I was 17 , and the fascination he had for me I mistook for love , so that when ho asked me if I would marry him I said 'Yes. ' In a few months I saw my mistake , but knew not how to communicate the faut. I threw out a few hints , and he immediately be came of ashy whiteness , and said if he should lose me he never would live an hour , and rather than see me another man's wife he would shoot me. "I was very young and believed him. In fact , I believe still he spoke the truth. I had no courage to face these facts , so gave myself up to the inevitable. I soon learned , even before marriage , that he liad a violent temper. No one ever crassed him. "I have been humiliated time and time again by that cursed temper. God knows , I am naturally of a happy nat ure , airt tried to make the best of it. "I thought marriage would soften him , but no , it hardened him , and I had no love to help me bear it. I knew he loved me with a wild , selfish love , but it was not the kind to make me happy. You will wonder why I tell you all of this ; no , don't interrupt I cannot help knowing your feeling toward me. and I think it best that wo should part. "One thing more , ' ' as I tried to inter rupt , i nave my suspicions aoouu mat horrible night. Don't , for God's sake , isk me an } * questions. Now will you be merciful and go'-1" I was shivering. The mere thought of going away , never , perhaps , to see her again , was almost beyond my power. But I saw to cross ler would be detrimental to her health. So I said , "Yes , I will go. " "Thank you , BentlejV she-said , using ny Christian name for the first time. 'You see you could not stiy here after mowing mv storv. It would not be right. " "I shall try to see you again. Good- ' } " good-by , Miriam , God bless you , child ! ' ' and rushed trom the room. A week later I sailed for France. For months I traveled through Europe , hen I went into the Holy Land and : hence through to Japan. For nearly ; wo years I thus wandered about. One day while at Cairo I received my European mail , which had chased me 'or some time. I noticed a letter with i strange handwriting and immediately opened it. It ran thus : DEAJIV.r.ucx When you receive this I .shall > e among the ' 'jjone before. " ' I am tire : ! of life. Jut first I must casa my conscience , as all sinners on their dying U-d are wont to do. When you \ere first introduced to us I noticed that you lost our heart to Miriam , and I was wildly jealous , ut I finally got to liking and al.-o trusting you. The night of the dinner party ; worked myself nto a pa&sion after you left the tibli * . and leav- ng the room on the pretense of speaking to my nan I crept around to the drawing room window nd saw you two close together. A passionate glance passed from your eyes , and imagined that the returned it. The demon was roused in me , nd I lifted my revolver and fired t you. My hand was unsteady , and it passed you as ou know. 1 hurried in , and iny horror was ter- ible when I saw 3Iiriain. I ga\e her into you- barge , because I knew if any one could bring ler through you could. 7he remorse has been gradually wearing me way. You will hear I died . f heart disease. Don's contradict it , and let Miriam thin ! : the same. Take care of her , and forgive me if you can. I iked you , Warren , and I leave Miriam to your are. CLARENCE B. GCXTER. Oct. B , "The Vetner. " I could not believe the letter at first , t seemed as if it must be : i fabrication f my brain ; but no , there was the let- er to prove the truth of it. Gunter lad tried to kill me , and now had com mitted suicide. It was nearly a year later that I ar rived home. I called on Mrs. Gunter at nee , and she looked very pale and sweet n her mourning garments. Before I left she had promised to leave hem off for r. wedding gown a year rom that day. I never told her the xuth about her husband's death. She lad no suspicion about that , though. I always thought she knew who fired he shot that nearly deprived her of life. However , tha1 is a subject we never iscuss in our happy married life. T. C. W. in Burlington Globe. Eastern Trees in California.
