She knew onlytoo well that he was bound to Miss Constable by'every tie of word 'and honor, and rated at their true worth the occasional soft glances and tender words to which, however pleasant they might be, she knew she had no right. And though, like most women, she doubted the ability of any other 0 love quite as well as she herself was capable of doing, she had no suspicion btit what John Ry - land's betrothed valued as she ought to do the prize she hatt won, and the idea of interfering with her possession of it had never entered her mind. Therefore it behoved her to do as other girls do in the same unfortunate circumstances — to • think as little as she could, .and the more she felt to allow the less to be seen. . In the meatime it was very agreea le to walk home with. John sthrough tie bIossom-scented evening air and the sun- set stillness, and to knew that his e es beamed admiration, and his tone breathed yet more. That is a sort of poison we none of us object thin the drinking,hocr- ever fearful we may be of the after ef- • fects, and these two took their draught •very kindly. That theeouts reach home was more owing to their own sens of rectitude thantto Mona's care; indeed' it was so late when she and her compete.' ion appeared before the astonished eye§ of their elders, that their own surprise was a thing of the pastand they arrived: • as quietly as if their coming together was the most natural thing in the world., , III. • " Father," -- the feminine portion 'of the household had disappeared, and the two men were left together. on the back stoop, where the elder was wont to enjoy his last pipe before going to bed ; father, you know I have never asked you many favors in a money point of view." "Very true, my son: Ybu have not. We will not ask how much this has been owing to your being quite sure they would not be granted." On the contrary, sir, I should have felt sure that if I had wanted money for a worthy purpose I shouldetot have ask- ed for it in vain; and it is. in that con- fidence I am going to ask you for it now." " Oh, you are going to asksme for it? •. Let me hear why." • "I can obtain a partnershipin a much larger firm than that of which I am at present only a junior member, for five thousand dollars, and 1 want you t� ad- vance me that sum." - He spoke very quietly, but his heart beat thiek as he uttered the words of the first faverhe had ever besought. - • The cad man looked at his so ri in utter amazement, or rather would so have look- ed had there been light enough to see him; as it was, his withering expression • was wasted on the darkness. , "You must have gone out of your senses, John. Do you suppose that I have five thousand dollars in my pocket, or that if I had I could find nothing better to do with it than give it*o you ?" "I do not ask you to give it to me, sir, I will repay you, and. itwillbring you good interest meanwhile. As for having • it in your pocket, you know how money can be raised as well as I." "Raised !" exclaimed the old man in semeanger. t‘Theee is onlyen e way of rais- ing money I know of, and; that's a way I shall never follow,you ma . take my word for it. There's riever yet Veen a penny of incumbrance dn my land, ancl there never will be, John, in my time—there' never will be. SO take that. for an an- swer, and be satiOed." . "Is that your final answer, sir ?" "Yes, if yeti talked for a week you would get no other." "Then there need be no more said." It was somewhat odd, but there sounded • in John Rysland's voice a tone of some- thing very like relief, ipstead of the dis- appointment that should have been su- preme. • "Will you tell me," said his father, ; after a few minutes of reflection, during which he slowly shook the ashes out of Isis' pipe, "why yeti are fp anxious for this nosttinstead of goirig on as you ate, when • you have given me to understand that you -are doing well ?" • "I aro doing well enough, sir, but that is no reason I thou d not want to do bet- ter. I have lately had this opening of which, with your alssiatance I could have token advantage, 4ud the increased in- come would hair enabled me to—to marry. My enga ement has lasted a long time." "It will last, a of a time longer," said the old man coetsely, his suppressed wrath breaking out, I` before I belp you to bring it to an ei4l So it is for this you want me to botr w money and bur- den my property—a ting never known 1 in the family yet? To enable you to give 1 luxuries to a woman Who is too fine a lady to take you as you are and be thank- 8 ful ! No, if she don't think you have enough, let her make more herself with her own stage airs and graces. She'll get nothing of mine. "Miss Constable isj not on the stage, , " it comes to the sa e t ing, • She- t Iand dollars of er own, instead of wan ing five thous& • d of mine to buy on with. .But no $ne has any sense no -a days." Hit son could not help smiling. • "Yo speak, sir, as if I only had te choose. You forget that I might very likely have chosen irt vain.' .1 "You can't tell whether you'll get a thing or not if you never ask for it," returned the o d man, -bluntly:. " You don't suppose One with her looks and her money, is li ely to go begging,or that • she'll thee* h rself at you? But your chant() would eve been as geed as an - Other's, I dare ay." • " Perhaps w had better say ne more about it, as it a subject on which we cap never com 0 a conclusion: My choice is mad , aid I have no ;doubt Mona will mak hers in good time, and whenever th t t Me comes I hope she will be very happy. Was it peas which John •R eluded was 00 it only one t e mystical rustles and Whispers of tth young leaves? And in the noise made by the rising and depar- ture of the two men, a gentle sound like the careful clestig of a window overhead was also lost.

If they stood—well; if both of these—or either one—fell, as so many others were falling roundthem, farewell to all hope of future succese for John Rysland, and farewell also ti the fruits of his past years of labor. ' He was still alone in the world.- In the first days of his new and then prom- ising prospects, he had asked. Geetrude to fix the time for their marriege, urging upon her that the income fot which 'she had stipulated was now secure, and Miss Constable had -complied ; b4t she had appointed so distant a dat , that she might as well have refused ag in. "Very well," she said, "we will be ried in the autumn, John. I have m engagements for the summer that I mu falfil ; indeed, I shall be out of . town great part of the time. But if all go well with you, and nothing happens t me, when I return in October we wi settle the day. Somewhere abed Thank giving time, I suPpose, will mitt ?" If John thought her way' of speakin rather cool and diffident, he made no com relent; his own conscience was not ver clear; he could not tell Miss °metals that he was in a hurry to matry-her, b cause he feared himself; because h found himself thinking more 4nd oftene than he should. have done of ones Fat field.

If we marr we shall have all the rest of our lives t gether, and surely that will be enough if things remain as they are now unt next October,you shall no longer havit t coniplain of delay." There lay a double interptetatimi i every sentence of herlspeech e but Jo Rysland accepted the one which lay the surface, and said ne more.
