First notice if 11.0 sit •alone, '

Or talks or writes in an abstracted(tone„
Or walks about at night a lot,
Observe if he delights to wade -
•Through multitudes of "spooneY'‘' verge;
And if he hints a certain maid. •
Is peerless in the universe.
And also note if he awaits
Therpostmlim's earning eagerly,
And if he often Vows the fates
Are smiling on him meagerly.
Observe if he appears to pine, 4.
As though affairs were grieving him
And if be disinelined to cline.
And appetite seems leaving him.

If ever and anon he groans
With sobs and sighs mysterious,
And mutters in abstracted tones,

And if -he raves of some "sweet dove,"
And gazes on a carte at times,
You'll know he's suffering from love,
Which much affects the heart at times.
Your treatment must at first be mild—
Don't rashly mar his "mooniness;"
A mates as helpless as a child
- When suffering from "spooniness."

Melicent paid her , promised Visit to

the result was not eetisfactory. Conver-

The.two friends were ill at ease. A con-

aerated in her bosom -a -bugbear ofehee-own-

what had occurred betvveerl her father and

the sympathy existing .between-Anif and
her brother, regarded it, with pleasure, and
sought only how •she might bring about
More , subetantial understanding' between
them. .But ignorance enveloped them, and
neither knowing how much her lever Might,

awkward reserve gave the impression. that
she was endeavoring to. 'coimeal alarm- or

when the time came for Melioent to depart.

the evening she. joinedher brother 'hi the
gereleth, with the .determination to give him
a gentle hint. ..He was snaOking, and did
'not irninediately speak to, her. But betook
her hand inhis, and for a while they sat
insilence. Melicent was the first to break it.
"Renee" She began, "do .you remenher ---•
just, before youwent totown last Mocith--e•
juse before -Sir Oliver's death -do you

" Yes." •

• • "- Me'licertereyouseate--very-enriotiee-Reite-

"Then your Obnolusums are 'negative,
•
" I told you to tisk no questions, dear."
Melicent refrained from farther question-
ing. She sat watching the smoke curling
upwarde from the bowl Of Rene's pipe.
Wee at Delysinere this afternoon,"
she said, at, length," and AMY was' con-
tending that men were more cheerful and
equable than women. If it be BO, I Wonder
if it bethe divine tobacco which makes the
difference.", '
• "Bit why does Miss Fremaine think
so?" asked Rene. '
She was in bad. spirits today --I don't
know why. But she was, and she instanced
her father_ as a person who was always
elreeifid."
"But all 01E11 are not alike."
" So I said."
• " And I should have thought that Mies
Fremaine was generally cheerful, She is
always bright and joyous."
" She is always attractive, and loveable,
Rene, darling, but she is not always joy-
ous. Today he was very much the
reverse."
"-What was the matter with her ?"
Melicent did not speak. .,
"What Was the matter With her?" he
srepeated.•
. " I shall -use your own weapone; Rene.
Ych-must-not-ask-questionieel----------e---
." But is Miss Fremaine ill ?"
"I don't think so. ' But she tvae list-
less -she seemed triste."'
Yet she has everything to make her"
happy." • • "
--e-Sopeople-always think. No one knows
.where the shoe pinches but the man who
wears it."
',Don't speak in that tone, clear, as if
your thee palled. You at least are happy,
I hope."
• "1 was thinking of Amy," said.i.k.ielioent,
turnitig away her head. . .
" Doyou think she is• really unhappy?"
'Rene asked. -
i‘ think she is worried about something.
But she Aid not tell tne SO. 1 only inferred
it, and I dare eay I am wrong. .Very likely
the hot weather does not suit her."
Rene smoked the rest of his pipe in
eilent meditation,and long after his sister
had retired' to bd he stayed on the roof,
leaning" over the parapet and thinking.
His cogitetions resulted in speedy and
'decisive ahtion.' The next day he sought
an interviOw of Frannie°, and asked for his
"Peernissien to she tor Amy's hand.
..Fremaine was annoyed. He thought
Rene precipitate. He had intended to
marry Melicent and make terms with her
brother first, and now, while the prelimie
neries to his Om scheme were yet. but
imperfectly fashioned, here was Rene
marring the whole pot, and incontinently
soliciting speech of Amy. Fremaiee's
s.elfsopntrol was perfeot, but his serenity
waiedisturbed, and, although he was polite
to his daughter's puieor, he was not friendly.
He wIlleven chilling.
"You-aSk an 1 enormous boom, Mr. Du

"Have you any assurance that mei

itaid Fremaine, politely. • • .
"1 think, Sir, that I need not explain

said Fremaine. His tone sounded hector-

"1 do not desire to ally myself with any

MSS Fremaine will confer a great personal
honor on the man et', *hem she yield's her

"1 was not challenging your birth or

"Both are without reproach, I know. But
I faucied that your fame and merits rested
on 'something more substantial than the
four walls of an old building."
.Then Rene's self -repression forsook him.
e You-have-gonestonlar,nehe-saide-Vehe-

ous! I asked you, for your daughter, and
you gave the neither yes, nor nay, but you

While Rene spoke in his furious energy
a thought prissed rapidly through Fre-
maino's brain.. He, had a reserve card yet.
HP had believed Rene to be cold, but the
1
i young man had shown himself to be fiery
;and 'impetuous. ,Fremaine was intensely
irritated, but he Was not convuleecl with
.rage.: It occurred to him that e well -aimed
'blow; while Rene's paseicini was at red -het,
might reduce the hitherto impregnable
toetrese. Ilia manner suddenly changed;

—
, He paused, but his adversary did not
speak. Rene was, cool - now, but he omild
not apologize. Finding himself unanswered,
Freipaine reeunaed. "Let us make a ooni-
promise," he said. "Retain your house as
long as you liye, but settle it on your eldest

Rene;rwith dignity, ", If sone 00the to me,
I shall know ,how to provide for them, but
no son of mine shall, with, my. aonsent,

maine; pacifically. "Why should you be
so proud and- unyielding ?" - - .
-, "1 ern. not proud-," returned Rene:-
"But !I ' respect my name, and I. covet no
nian's:pessessions." ' •
To Fremaine's sensitive conscience there
was an implied sneer -in Rene's avovvee,
and it stung him sharply. . , -
• "But you covet a rich man's only child,"
he said, sarcastically,
1 Rene made no answer. In truth, he
.cciuld not command himself te speak.
, • "What' is going to -be your next step,
sir ?" demanded Fremaine. • -
" I Shall do-nothing."
"e You will not endemeor to persuade my
daughter td Marry you in spite of me?"
, "You forget 'that : you are in hopes of
having made an.impression on her." •
"•I do, not forget, but I will net try to

•" You mean," said Fremaine, sl

"That, you will not' marry a. disinherited

, , There was a* -prolonged eilence. Then
, .
Rene mastered his wrath.. •
•" You have dated Me .to put my fete to

Good afternoon, sir." .
Fremaino let him depare vvitliout tieword.

After this tbe amicable relations between
the Fremaines end• the Du Lyses sensibly
diminished. Rene ceaeecl to frequent
Delysmere, and lfelicent's visits were rare.
Amy. could tieldona bring herself to enter,
the Retreat, and even Fremaine found it
difficult to' be at his ease in a house with
whose master he had quarrelled. He con-
trived to see Ildelicent in other places, arid
pursued his Wooing with delicate assiduity,
but she met his advances with reluctance,
and he felt that be was, gaining no ground:
one day he met herat old Mrs.-Balm:flour's,
whither he had escorted Amy, who. had
' invited to -pee-the , lady's dahlias.

together and the note is sufficiently legible
