" Thinks foryour advice, cid fellow; it's thoroughly good and thor ughly well meant, Tam sure of both of t ese facts, at the same time, forgive me for saying cait'etake it." I ‘' And rur do yon the fUrther jus- tices, of adroitting that you didn't ask me for it." ," Good-bye till to morrow morning at eleven'sharp,q. the first speaker replied, jumping as he spoke, off ethe gate on which he had been sitting. "Wish me joy, and do your best to make my peace with the girls; your. wife ! will du her best for me, 1 know." The other roan wished Le nard Bell joy and good-bye heartily enough; but as he passed. out of sight and hearing, the man, who still remained leaning ad rather against the gate, shook his h moodily, and said to himself "Poor old -boy! you're .Wr my wife for -once; in marry' you, you offend one of her prejudices. I know how her go up, and how she will wo Leonard could fall in love garity Later having been inti me!" • Wha a world we live in! Bell with a wife Iie coulkt have been iroud of, would have had the ball at hi feet in a short ti e ; as it is—. H checked himself abruptly, and with a shrug of the sho ders, that did not b:token too ;I much s nguine expectation c ncerning his friead's future, walked slciwly back to the village where he was 13 aying un- til such i'time as Leonard Bel bachelor should be transformed into Leonard Bell be ediet, Cousi erably- older than he man whose inatrinioniaI project had just - been oa the tapis, and endo ed with considerable More experience of the world, Mr. Linton had not distrusted his powers to put a atop to the ill-ad- vised. marriage Leonard seemed bent on making, up to the present morning. The knowled e of the hands rae, cul- tivated, refined young artist' engage- ment to a girl who had been acjcountant and head -barmaid at an hotel n an ad- oining town, had only been ini Mr. Lin- ton'ts possession for the last fur' days. ,Instantly on the receipt of the letter 'containing the (to him) sad int lligence, he had lileft London. and, song t Leon- ard. in the little village on th borders of the breezy Sussex downs, here the enchantress held him in bond ge until legally; nton to which li imrae- 4141 ng about g beneath strongest head will der how 'th vul- ate with I the fatal knot eould be tied and it is but fair to Mrs. L say that it was her inflnenc -urged her husband. to take suc diate acqon. The journeyWas fruitless s , far as prevention went. Leonard 1 ved the girl for her beauty, and thought there was something piquant in her pronun- ciation, Which was sufficiently coarse to have cured him utterly, had not th: e a aforesaid. beauty affected his senses in s - a way that deadened his perce tive fac- t "She's as pure as an angel, as lovely as Venus and. as masophasticated as a h ehild. !" e replied rapturously, when h M'r.. Linton asked him into what circle a e would 'She'd v circle ' why, I rets my- t neither o tbe wo- e," Mr. h But he t is name r of their havingwitnessed the holy and lawful ceremony. With the ardour of a lever and of an owner proud of his new possession, Leonard Bell took his bride's hand a d firesented Mr. Linton to her as his " earliest and best friend." • - Something in th younger ‘man's voice and manner, s hiesingular mix- ture of pride and d &elation, totOled the elder and more Worldly-wise' man into displaying grea er cordiality and tenderness towards the newly -Made wife than he would o herwise have' ex- hibited. For a inoraent he allowed himself to fOrget the gap that custom and culture made between them, and bowing over her hand with the same amount 'of courtesy and respect he would, have shown for a princess, he said that he "wished her every form of happiness and prosperity that her heart could desire, both for Leonard's sake and her own." Slight as the ordeal was, she could not pass throughit unscathed. To her new friend's intense- disappointment, to the equally intense mortification of her husband, -Mrs. Leonard Bell tossed her pretty head after the Manner of a stage soubrette whom she had once much ad- mired at a provincial theatre, and re- plied, with a jauntyand highly ar- tificial assumption of being perfectly at ease: "Thank you, Mr. Linton; and I am sure you'll find no difference in the welcome you'll get at our house, though Mr. Bell is married: and that's not what every wife veduld say to the friends her husband hobnobbed with in his bachelor days." " This is not ene of my bachelor friends, you must understand, Ellen dear," Leonard began explaining, in an agony of confusion; but "Ellen deal. " knew she had created a sensation by her last remark, and was determinedto deepen the impression her aplomb had produced on one of "Leonard's stuck- up friends," and give him, the oppor- tunity of assuring that mystic set of Leonard's, of which she had heard faint • rumors, that " Mrs. Leonard Bell was well able to take care of herself." "And. it's not every young lady that will speak civil to her husband's old lady friends; I can tell you. There was my companion at the "--- She stopped suddenly, checked by a look of agonized entreaty on her husband's face, and with a loud laugh and another jaunty toss of her head, turned to another sub- ject. "We'll go back to 'breakfast now; for we must all be that hungry. I'M sure that we shall all do -full justice to what- ever you have provided, Ma'.—I'm sure it was very good of you, Mr. Linton, to come down to this holp of a place to do honor to our wedding; and we should have been very glad tcelhave seen your wife with you, and then she and I could have struck up a friendship, you know, and so have been able to run in and out nd have a gossip with each other, as oon as I got to London, and- was set - led in my own honle.7 "So this is Leonard Bell's wife !" Mr. Linton though& 1" The woman he as selected from all the world to bear is name, to be the mother of his chil- ren, solace his lot, and sympathize vial his highest aspirrions !" CHAPTER. II. "The happy pair are coming home o -day ; aren't they?" Mr. Linton said ne morning, safew weeks after Bell's arriage. Yes," he went on, consult - ng his note -book, without waiting for is wife's reply; " this is the day, the hird of July. Couldn't you send a line ound to await them, Kate, and ask hem here to dinner ?" A pretty, sparkling -faced, graceful- iannered woman rose quickly as he poke, and went over to bestow some ifliug loving attention on the flowers n her window garden, before she re- lied: "1 have never been able to extract a ngle word of d.eseriPtion from yon bout Mrs. Leonard Bell. Why should bring her on myself in this inti - ate way, until I know whether or not e intimacy will ,be 'congenial to us oth ?" "Don't get on preliminary stilts, ate," he answered laughing. " Leon - d owes a good deal to you in.one way - d another ; don't make him feel the bt too keenly, by kelping his wife at ens -length." "What is she like, Harry. Tell me." "A very handsome richly colored unette ; tall, well grOwn, and"— " Shy ?" ! '1 Not at all; renaarkably self-pos- s ssed." LeAli ! now, do give' me fuller inform - ion. You have been so strangely re- cent about it all. She is either a rson whorn you expect to fairly daz- e rne, or she is sonie one whom- it ould have been well for Leonard not have married." "1 shall leave you to draw your own c nclusions when you meet her," said r. Linton, rising, and preparing to. get h inself away to his office. " Reinem- b r this: you have helped to popularise eonarel in society, you have worked h s name up in the press, and you have ci uferred the distinction of your openly a owed friendship upon him. Don't at - t mpt to neutralize the effect of all these ti lugs by showing -him the, cold shoul- d r, even if you don't happen to like his oice of a.wife." "His sister's fears are tiell founded, a id our boy hs made a mistake, I fear how I fear it !" muttered Mrs. L./1ton to herself, as her-husbaud went t of the room. "However, Harry is ri ht. I, who have spoilt him, and t ught him to believe in the infallibil- it of his own judgment, must be the last one to show that it. is a mistake, if it turns out to be 'one ; the world w 11 do that sharply and speedily ei ough.". I ' Mrs. Linton debated the question of ti e propriety of the ptoposition her hus- b nd had made as to inviting the bride at d bridegroom to dine with them (the L ntons) this day of their return up to mid-day. Then kindliness and curi- o ity combined to make her pen the fol- io ving note: "DEAR MRS. BELL.—My husband and I, as old friends of your husband's, who w sh with as little delay as possible to b come friends of yourS also, trUst that y u and Leonard will waive ceremony, as d. dine with us en femile to -night at se en.

Onthe avli le„this litair that he had paised in: the ho e, Which was dainty and delicately d corated with the hide. scribable taste f an art -loving man, wafs the happies he had passed since his marriage. 1 he‘pictures and sta- tuettes, the bron s and harmoniously colored pieces of old china, the Orieiatal rugs -and carve oak buffets; were all dear and fa.mili r, fraught with delight- ful associatiens, ‘charged. every one of thern with pleas nt memories Of friends of his own class whose very existence he had fargotten while the glamour was over him about allen Price. Addition- ally, he could ga e at and study these beautiful objeats with the sure convic- tion that they w uld -never speak and shock him out f all admiration for them by faulty renunciation of coarse tones. It had come o this, :unfortunately. His wife's beauty was as great as it had ever been, greater indeed, for he. had modified and toned down her dress with such taste, that it would have been dif- ficult to find a better or more becoming- ingly costumed vomau than Mrs. Leon- ard Bell in the fnost recherche set in London. But h had found himself ut- terly unable to njodify or tone down her rovindial accent and. coarse colloquial- isms. The und rbred girl who had been the belle •f the bar, flattered) courted, and adniired by the very lo - est and worst claSs of bagmen, believed herself to be fullequal to the situation she was now filling, aid laughed. to seem any attemait her 'husband' made to eultivate her 6ntellect and get her to cast off at least the outer shell of ig- norance. • The hour had een the happiest he had passed since his marriage, for at least his surroundings were dear and congenial to him. But it had not been unalloyed happii ess which he had l tasted. He had purposely timed her return for the middle of the day, in or- der that he might . have several hours of daylight at 'his disposal, during which he might Ile able to inculate his wife with something like an admiration of and appreciation for some of the art treasures which lie had. obtained at the cost of many year of hard work at his art, and the sacri ce of many a merely social or selfish pleasure. . • "I'll show you your kingdom from garret to basem ut; Nellie dear," he said to the lady as soon as she had avowed herself to be sufficiently rested to undertake the our of inspection afe ter her journey. She had sailed into' the diuing-room!and cast. anchor in that haven imrrediately on entering the house, and th ugh she was delight- ed at the affiumie displayed in its fit- tings -up and. furi iture, she would not avow that delig t,' for fear Leonard should think she' hadn't seen as good many and many time" at the houses of some -wealthy but extremely mythical relations whom she was in the habit of quoting. "The attics !" idle exclaimed in af- fected surprise; "what should ladies do in the attics, Leonard? No; I'm too tired to go up that 'ight ;" and just as she said this the letter came from Mrs. Linton. "'Well, well, read your note, and then we will. go up to tIie drawing -room," he said good humo edly ; but his brow burnt, for the servant who had brought iu the letter had Missed her mistress's "h ;" and he kne that his wife's for- mer social status vas guessed at one pretty correctly b at least one of his faithful servitors. - "It's from the 'fe of that gentle- man who came to our wedding, Leon; i she asks us there to dinner to -night," Mrs. Bell cried ou with an air of pleas- ure that was ua nral, and thereforo. agreeable to her hnsband. - ( To be ontbrued.) , Where Will This Lead. To. • A well-to-do un ertaker of San Fran- cisco owned a sma 1 house and lot in a block 1hat was co eted by one of the Pacifk coast mi liejaaires, who had built a, palace there and wanted all the contiguous land for a garden.

The style of the proposed build- ing, it is said, will be plain and sub- stantial for the firs five stories, but the remainder of the t wering edifice, after rising above the f lice, will present a commingling of re ascency, Gothic and Babylonian archit cture, surmounted with a section of hinese pagoda.
