You know perfectly well that, although he ha.° a title, he i* simply a poverty stricken fortune hunter " " Well, ho certainly has not seen any evidences of wealth around this house." " Perhaps not ; but you are your uncle's sole heiress." "I did not tell him that." " Humph ! I must Bay there is a mystery s-omewhere ; that fact is not known outside of the family, and no one h'XB told him unless you have." "He loves me for rayselt alone " " A true, pood man might very easily, my dear ; but that fellow wouldn't, 1 know, Y"ou must have let him know you were an heiress" " No, I didn't say one word. I only said I was your only child, and I was so sorry your only brother was not married, because he bad no loving children to leave his millions to ; so thero now."
