CHAPTER 1.
It was the beigbtof the season at Sam-
togn. Fifteen hundred guests sot down to
dinner in the new Congas Hall, and in the
evening the spacious parlors of the various
hotels, the planes, and the streets were

line a knot of Cubans sympathized with
their struggling country in an eager conver-
saliuu, while near them a dark Spaniard
frowned upon the audacious rebels who
dared to throw ufi'tbe yoke of Spain.
There an ambitious Frenchmen phced his
heart in the politcst manner in the world, at
the feet of some American belle.
The 'Gemin’n MW'imoked bis pipe

listened to the music and gazed dresmily
upon the busy scene. And up and down in
a slow promenade passed the scion: of
American wealth. the exquisite: of upper
tendom, with fair ladies hanging upon their
arms
The “ Girl of the Period” was everywhere
represented. The brilliant bcsuly of the
North ; the soft, dark lovelincn of the South ;
the intellectugl grace of the Western, and
the stately charms of the Eastern maiden—
sll were there that evening.
Thcflrat hop of the season was given at
Congress Hall. The dancing had not yet
commenced. and the idle throng were amus-
ing tncrnselves in various ways, when smur-
mur of admiration ran along the crowd from
the piazza as Mable Vaughan, the acknowl-
edged belie of Snratogs, made her entree, ac-
companed by her aunt, Mrs. Langley. Well
did she merit the attention she received for
what picture of loveliness. could be more
perfect than this beautiful maiden ? label

impelled Mabel, sfter dancing but twice, to

on the piazza—this time leaning upon John
Osborne’s arm 1’ Hr. John Osborne was Mrs.
Inmglcy's especial pet—cu inimltible New
York exquisite when that lady deakned for
her future nephew. For what lady would
not like to posses a millionaire even for a
nephew 7 And the exquisite John was the
prospective heir of immense wealth. And
Mrs. Langley had a proper regard for the
millions. This projected mamb bed on-
grossed not a little of that lady‘s mind. 0!
John Osborne's affections she was quite
sure, for what man in his senses could resist
sweet Mabel Vaughan 1' But of Mabel her-
self she was not quite so sure. She began
to think the girl had no heart and no ambi-
tion at all. so utterly indifferent she turned
away from All who sought her hand. There
was the distingu’nbed Hou.——, who had
laid his laurels at her feet, only to be laugh-
ed at. There was Mr. Phelps, who lived in
a magnificent brown stone palace upon the
avenue, who had implored her to accept his
fortune and himself with it. But plcuioric
money bags hsd no charms for Mabel. But
if she objected to them, there was Schuyler
Upton,wbo belonged toone of the oldeatand
most aristocratic families in the city, and
who was "dying all for love" of Mabel !
What could this spoiled beauty be thinking
of to refuse offers like these? Was SllC‘ wait-
ing for a prince to come and woo?
To be sure the Hum—was a little ad-
dicted lo his wife, and Mr Phelps had not
youth in his favor, for he was a widower
with fifty winters upon his head, which
owed its raven hue solely to the barber-—
and surely his white teeth had never invoked
the aid of the famous soothing syrup—for
they were set upon gold, and purchased with
gold But if Mr. Upton “us too old, Schuy-
k3! Upton n as but twenty- four, so hand-
some, and so “cabin. But that youth,
with his arrogant pride, and his insufl'ersble
coxcombry, was unbearable to Mabel. And
so instead of feeling honored by thm 08ers

“ My dear,” her aunt would say,

“ And what if I do, auntie? I will still

“ Study a profession! lathe girl cruyl

flabei proposed a ramble through a field of
daisies which lay before them. And so they
alighted and went roaming through the sea
of flowers, Mabel, with her fair face and
flowing golden hair, looked like a nymph
just mean from out the sea of white bios.
some, which the gentle wind of mm
caressed into undulating waves The day
was warm and she carried her little hat in
her band, and the last rays of the setting
can cast a halo around her, as it lingered
upon her long golden hair She was indeed
a veritable queen of the flowers, and the
daisies did her homage as they bent beneath
her tiny feet.
She plucked the flow ers and placed them
around her hat, forming them into a wrath,
and as she did so she said, “ Mr. Lestrnnge,
we have a new name, you know, for the dai-
3 cs.“
“ All l what is it 1'" asked the young man,
who wus not skilled in daisy lore.
“We call them Marguerites, in memory
of Faust's lovely Msrgueritcs, who, you will
remember, took this flower for her oracle."
“ A simple method of learning the future,
truly," suid' Ernest, laughing. “ Suppose
you consult the oracle also, Miss V aughan. '"
And plucking a handful of the flowers, he
gave them to her.
Mabel took them laughingiy , and half
blushing and picking the leaves ofi‘ slowly
with her dainty little fingers, she said softly,
as they fluttered to the ground. “It m'aimc

He loves me a. little—u good deal—passion-
ately—then the lcsvcs are all gone and my
lover adores me! But, alas! where is he ’"
she added, with a half comic sigh, as she
threw the flowers away.
“ Ah! Kiss Vaughan, the daisies have
then but half told the tale. Let these tell
the rest !" he said, giving her another band-
fulof them. “Let these speak for me!"
And as his hand touched hers, his dark,
earnest eyes met her own, revealing all the
passion which was in his soul, and the tale
was told !
Ah! Msbel was indifferent no longer.
The voice of love had at last reached her
heart, and toting one single white blossom
she put it into Ernest’s band, and as she
looked up to him-although her lips were
mute, her blue eyes said:
“ I love you !"
And so the daisy lroth was plightcd.

“ Why, you old fool, you"—we have been

pet names yet—“ the cannula I meant are
flowers, such as verbenss, pansies, dunes,
morning glories, mignionette, and the like,
to‘set out in our front yard.”
Then she took all the annuals I had been
at such pains to collect, and set them out in
the back yard among the other rubbish.
The next morning she asked me if I
thought I could get the roses for the front
yard. I told her I knew a man who hsd
got a lot of early rose potatoes, but it wasn’t
the right time of year for setting them out.
Wife said I hadn't a bit of taste. She
then gave me a memoranda of roses she
wanted. I was busy all day, but just as I
was about taking a car for home, I thought
of the roses. I referred to the memoranda
and found the following:
" Get a few gemnisms, fuchsias, helio-
trope, roses, bourbon, running rose, ‘Prairle
Queen,‘ golden tea plant, vines, English ivy,
‘Wandering Jew,’ seeds, etc."
I studied it hard, but it was slightly in-
comprehensible. Sbe bad evidently got
things mixed up. However, I went to a
florist's and told what I wanted. Said I:
“ Give me 3 few geraniums, and A few
shes, sud—

“ A few shes," said I, turning very red I
asked the flower man
know, for I couldn't tell for the life of me
what my wife wanted of a few shes about
the place, as she never could live in the acne
house with another woman.
As the florist looked more staggered than
ever, I handed him the memoranda, when
he burst into a loud laugh.
Why, man," he cried, "its fuchias she
wants?
And then he reared spin.
