" I told Zeph thie morning I should come and talk to you straightforward like, as man to man:" " What did, she say to that 2" asked Dudley, in, a kw tone. "She said. I might, and welcome. She could trust you, she said, to tell the truth, She would have come with me ra let her," he continued, " but I thought it Was best for you and. me to have this out together." "Yes -no," said Dudley, irresolutely. "I wish the had come with you, I think ?" e why I could have explained the whole matter more clearly, perhaps," was his slow answer. " What did I tell you ?" growled' Ben to his compenion. "Didn't I say so ? Can't y -cu see what his game's been ? Haven't I said so all along?" "I wilt not have your interference," - cried Dudley Grey, fiercely, at 'last ; it's no business of yours-" " yes, it is," answered Ben, stolid- ly but boldly ; for, you see, if you had- ett stepped between me and Zeph, she would have been, my wife by this time; I wanted her to be, I liked her aw- Rd 2,1 " Hal your row, Ben," seid Mr: Car- rington ; and let me speak.

"Let's get to the rights of it," or t wronge of it," said. • Mr. Cerringto, " that's what I have eolile for, .11 Grey. What am to meke out of a this ?-thet my laughter ain't goo enough for you, and never was? Th you've thought it a fine thing to tak her out and unsettle her from ell o homely ways ?

He might have expected to be tedged like this by one whose heart was in his child's good name and fame. He was judged up - mercifully, but it was eatural the man should think in this way, and disbelieve any statement he might attempt in ex- tenuation of his conduct. Extenuation ! it was beyond him. He made the at- tempt, however. "Mr. Carriegton, you do me an in- justice," he said ; yon think too badly , of the pesitiou altogether. I have never _had a thought against your daughter's happiness -never one -thought of doing her an iejnry. have been very weak and foolish -your daughter has become a dear friend. of mine -I have the most profeand esteem for her ; I would rath- er die than a word shoulds be breethed against her." 1 • "They are talking of her already ; the young women at the bueiness-not one -hall of them as good. as she it -are piekine her to pieces ; they have torn. her caracter to rags ; I they will speak of her semi. in our street, where the story come round sharp enough. Now you have done her ell this harm, hut you doe't say hoW youpropose to set it right." "-Mid can I do ?" " What Zeph told Me you meant to do, what you have led her to expect all this while," said Me. Carrington- " marry bier." "I would do it to -morrow if it were in my power, but it isn't" said Dud- ley. "Meaning you ere' metaled already, ‘tiperhepe?" "No, I am not merried. I am en- gaged, I -but I will write to your datighter- will explain everything, and she will understend me awl forgive me. For God's sake, leave me !" Dud- ley entreated.. " I am wretched ; don't you see that 2" "I don't care a damn for your wretch- edees," said Mr. Currington, bluntly- " What's it to me? What t,are you but a mart who, would. have lea my wroug Yoe could ?" On my soule-no !" " 'Pon my soul, yes !" cried Mr. Cer- iington.
