In our passionate young grief we had eyes and ears for no one but ourselves. I had, however, chosen the very quiet hour of sunset on a May evening to meet my poor lover, and only a few in- quisitive but timid rabbits stared with dark eyes at us from the safe vantage of their own round doors, gently moving their soft brown ears with sympathetic interest. "My pretty Nancy, my dearest girl, it is quite impossible for me not to see the force of your father's reasons. He is perfeetly kind and just to you. He wants to 'hake you happy. He calls me a fortune In titc., therefore I will not accept one peony of it's money with you, and I cannot be so selfish as to deprive you of all those comforts yea. have been accustomed to." "You are the only comfort I care about, Dick," I sobbed out. "Anel what good will other comforts do me if T die? For I shall die if I am never to see you again. Father says, if I persist in marrying you he will out of his will and "leave everything t Betty and Ler six ugly daughters, dearest, let him do it. It won't make theta one bit prettier; and money won't buy them a sweetheart like (nine. Do you really believe, Dick, that if 1 were sitting in a room full of gold with a sack of sovereigns in my hands and saw you outside, that wouldn't throw the nasty stnfi down and rush through the window into your F,rinsl Dick, you don't know much about women. You'll have to take me as I am andbegin the study at once." Aly love clasped me a. little closer, but he sighed profoundly at the same time. "1 eau offer you so little," he &aid sadly, "nothing but my love and a share of my poverty. But I can work for you. I will work. Aly Uncle Richard has promised to help me to a berth in one of the Oriental tttitl shills, from whtt:li I can work 3ity wi y up. But, Nancy, there is no rank in the merchant service that would meet with yolu' father's approval," "I am twenty-one'-" I cried defiantly. " and if my father chooses to call yon names and threaten inc with the loss of a horrid lot of money—which only makes us into mean worldly wretches—I andel run away from him and it. I shall certainly run away, Dick, quite soon. You may please yourself whether you help me or leave me to do it alone," After this bold. speech I was forced to hide my shamed face on the breast of Dick's blue uniforin; and. there I heard his honest heart beating true love's answer to my Nerds. His scruples all vanished, and in the next two hours we had settled the de- tails of my flight` Ile was to return to Edinburgh, where lie lodged with a dear old ,ficoteh lady, of whom he had often spoken to mc. I was to follow in a few bays. We could be marrried quietly, and await Dick's appointment in blissful poverty.

Aly father hail always hien absorbed hi business till he made his fortune, and had taken little notice of his motherless girl.

I was only a piece of the very handsome furniture in his splendid hnuxe, and had no more right to have an opit n, nn my own destiny than his easy chha ad to say where it slloultl stand. I left hien, therefore, without thinking that it could cause him much grief, but f knew that intense anger, and wounded pride would snake him very bitter against me and my almost penniless lover. I seemed to live in a. dream for the next two or three Clays, till I got Dick's final lettere say all was ready forincat Ai Nicheitmrs. l's. His bright leanly face, the ar- dent look in his gray eyes as we parted that last evening were ever before me. I went on, however, making very practiea- preparations, such as packing my plainest gowns, and leaving my finest garments in my huge wardrobe. 1 knew that the sim- ple little lodgings up three flights of stairs —would not fit in with "Liberty Art Silk " dinner dresses. It was more likely I should be cooking our dinner than dressing for it. In view of such a charming novelty I packed up scene painting aprons with very smart pockets and bibs—which I knew Dick would think becoming. I announced my intention of going to visit a school friend in Edinburgh, and my father, who never denied me small pleasures, kissed me at the door as he said good -by, told me to be a good girl and then, as the carriage drove rapidly off, turned to enter his study with an obvious air of relief. His utter want of suspicion touched me with remorse for the first time. I half start- ed up, and called faintly, "Father." Bait the cry was lost amid the roll of the wheels, and I was fain to drown niy remorse in a flood of tears, which only ceased at the end of my long drive to the station. For a last time a tall footman got my tick- et for me, looked after my luggage and stood respectfully at the door of the compartment which he had secured for my exclusive use. I had recovered my spirits now, and laugh- ed when I thought that the next journey I made would probably be by third-class, but with Dick—my husband to protect me. It is only a Journey of a few hours to Edinburgh from my home. There, on the platform, stood my handsome, eager young lover, and by his side a plain but most benevolent -looking little old lady. She had two grey curls on each side of her round cheeks, and she nodded and smiled at me in the most friendly way as soon as Dick identified me by rushing forward as if to take my lonely compartment by storm. Conducted "home" by these two enthu- siastic creatures, I was shown into a charm- ingly ly clean, bright little flat perched like a 1. d's nest high, above the picturesque town. Al honest faced middle aged Scotch servant opened the door and said gravely, Y er welcome, mein. "' This is my Christie," explained Mrs. Nicholl, " and Mr.. Gordon's great admirer." I smiled at her kind though rugged -face. Were not all Dick's friends to be my friends now ? She afterwards confided to Mrs. Nic- holl that Miss Bell was " as bonnie a,bride as she couldha' waled for him herself." Which was considered high praise. Then came the happy days of preparation; the quiet " house" wedding, with only Mrs. Nicholl and Christie as witnesses, and the blissful fortnight in the small cottage in Ar- ran, where Dick and I spent our honeymoon. I abjured wealth and luxury with a light heart. Late dinners and footmen, silk gowns and ladies' maids, hothouse flowers and soft rolling carriages, allcounteclas nothing when I stepped lightly over the heather with my tall, brave husband beside me. I did not think much about my father. I had sent him a letter from Edinburgh an- nouncing my marriage; but he had taken no notice of it. What dill we care? We were absorbed in 'each other and in day dreams of the future. How foolish' and how ; happy we were ! We talked much of. Dick's prospect and advance- ment. He called ine "Mrs Capt.
