THE MYSTERIOUS KET
OR, PLANNING FOR THE
FUTURE.
CUAP Tilt XXI•—(Cont'd)
Aceordingly, that very evening,
Allieon and Lady Bron►loy were
consulted as to the plan, and both
heartily seconded it, greatly to the
young lover's gratification, where-
upon there followed an earnest
consultation regarding ways and
means and time.
"How long will it take you ladies
to make the necessary arrange-
ments?" the young man inquired.
"That will depend somewhat up-
on your own and Allison's wishes
regarding the matter," Lady Brom-
ley smilingly observed. "Do you
want a wedding—I mean a society
affair l•'
Gerald glanced at Allison, who
smiled, flushed, and then shook her
pretty head with a somewhat doubt-
ful air.
He understood her. She was not
quite sure whether she ought to
wish for a brilliant wedding, such
as young ladies in her circle usu-
ally aspired to. She was no long-
er Miss Brewster, the heiress, al-
though practically her position was
unchanged. Then, Mr. Brewster
had been dead only a little over a
ear, and she was not out of mourn-
ing, although gradually lightening
the sombre hues which she had hith-
ci to worn. This was something of
what he read in her expressive face
and hesitation of manner. But
knowing how all the fondest hopes
of the banker had been centred in
this beautiful girl, knowing that
he had never denied her a wish
from her infancy up, and that he
would have spared no effort or ex-
pense to make her marriage the one
important event in her life, Ger-
ald felt that due respect ought to
be paid toe what he believed he
would have desired, as well as to
the expectations of society in gen-
eral.
"It is customary for the bride to
have her say upon a question of
that nature, I believe," he smiling-
ly observed, after considering for
a few moments; "but if I may be
allowed, I would like to express
myself freely. and then you can do
as you like."
"Certainly you may be allowed,
and I am sure that Allison will be
glad to know your preference in
the matter," said Lady Bromley.
"Indeed. I would," asserted the
fair bride -elect eagerly. "I should
he glad to shift the responsibility
01 the whole affair upon his shoul-
eers."
"Well then," returned her lov-
er, his fond eyes fastened upon
her face, that he might catch its
every varying expression, "I think
there ought to be a wedding — not
too elaborate an affair, perhaps,
because of hien w hum we lost last
year, but as near an approach to
a society function, such as he would
have desired, as may be consist-
ent."
"Gerald, how thoughtful you
are: You always say and do just
the nicest and most. appropriate
'things," Allison exclaimed. her
Lees glowing with pleasure. yet with
n thrill of emotion in her tones, as
her thoughts reverted to her father
and how she would miss him in the
veining festi%ities.
"And Allison," he eontinored. "I
want you to be married from your
old hone. just the same as if ev-
erything had remained unchanged.
Mr. Lyttleton thinks we must sail
about the middle of April—that
w ill give you fully two months,
which ought to ho time enough,
with sufficient help, to de every-
thing in proper and becoming
manner. Ms plan is this to h
which told liiln More plainly than
words how grateful she was to have
everything so delightfully arraag id
for her.
Mrs. Pollard was advertised fur
the very next day, and on the sec-
ond morning afterward presented
herself in Lady Bromley's apart-
ments, where she was almost o'er -

learning what was wanted of ner
In a week's time the house was
in perfect order and everything
running as smoothly and methodi-
cally as when Mr. Brewster was liv-
ing, the owls thing lacking to make
the home life complete being his
genial presence. Lady Bromley,
however, brightened the home with
her °farming personality, and,
throwing herself vigorously into the
work before her, soon heel the sat-
isfaction of seeing Allison absorbed
iu matters pertaining to her treus-
seau, to the exclusion of all that
was sad or depressing.
Gerald established himself in
handsome lodgings nearby, where
he could drop in upon them when-
ever he felt inclined, and every
passing day only served to make
life seem brighter to them all.
