I have no money of my own, but if I make a marriage which pleaege him, Dupla Binnie will pro- bebly leave me his—which it is thought will be an inducement to my cousin—who needs one. If I marry him, or rather he marries me, Lady Theobald thinke Mr. Beinie will be pleased. It does not even mater whether Francis is pleased or not— and, of course, I am out 6t the question— but it is hoped that it will please Mr. Binnie. The MO ladies have talked it over, and decided the matter.

On reeding this ooromnnioation, Miss Belinda buret into floods of tears. "Dear, dear Martin I" she wept. "To think that we should meet again! Why didn't be let us knowlie was on the way? I shoned have been so anxious that I:should not have slept at all." " aiVell," remarked Ootavia," I suppose that would have been an advantage." suaaardy, approathed Miss Belinda, kissed her, and disappeared out of the room, as if by magic not returning for a quarter den hour, looking rather soft, and moist, and. brilliant about the eyes, when she did return. Octavio, was a marked figure upon the grounds at that garden -party. "Another dress, my dear," remarklei Mts. Bambara "And what a charming color she has, I declare! She is usually paler. Perhaps we owe thie to Lord Lans- downe." "Her dress is becoming, at all evente," privately remarked Miss Lydia Burnham, whose taste bad not been consulted about her own. "It is the who ie becoming," said her eider. "It is not the dress so much, though her clothes always leave a look, some way. She's prettier than ever to -day, and is en- joying lierself-" She was enjoying herself. Mr. Francis Darold observed it rather gloondly as he stood apatt. She was enjoying herself so much that she did not seem to notice that he had avoided her, instead of going up to claim her attention. Half a dozen men were standing about her and making them- selves agreeable; and she was apparently quite equal, to the emergencies of the occasion. The young from Broadoaks had at once attached themselves to her train. "1 gay, Barold," they had said to him, "why didn't you tell us about this? Jolly good fellow you are, to oome mooning here for a ample of months and, keep it all to yourself."
