The dispatch was from Don g�aadoa, who as soon as Sempe reaohed thin, hander him a thousand 1,000 -franc notes, saying; "Deponit this money in the bank. It 1s to be rased in beginning the war.

"Then you want to begin in style, do you?" I asked, disapprovingly. "No; but nicely. Jean is not afraid of work, and would gladly begin at the lowest round with me; but she is refined and cultivated, and I would be unhappy to deny her enjoyments." "She teaches music now, I believe," said I. "Yes; but has a cozy, comfortable home with her mother, Mrs Delmar is a lovely woman, and has given Jean most of her education. She has seen better days, I am sure. They read to- gether. play and study, and. I could not take Jean from such a life and" make a household drudge of her." Max sighed disconsolately, and, as I was deep in thought, we were silent for some time. I was sorry for him. My young life had been blasted by a rich father stepping between me and the girl I loved, who was poor; and now here was my brother-in-law doing the same thing with his son. . So deep- :say—had eep- _ y r:had any—•-disappoi�4tment., affected onelife lovebat I had had been alle my heart had ever known, and to -night I can see her blue eyes as they looked into mine twenty-five years ago, and hear her voice; but, pshaw, its Max's love you want to hear, not mine. "What would you like?" I asked, abruptly. "Like?" repeated Max, startled from his reflections. "Yes; what would enable you to marry at once?" "3 home for my wife; we could live nicely on my salary if I had that, but board bills would leave nothing." I went into reflection again, and lived over in my own mind the misery poor Max was now in. Oh, how I would have appreciated some help when I had been there, and now it lay in my power to extend that help to another, worthy, and similarly situ- ated. "Max," said I, .suddenly, with an.un- controllable shake in my voice—"my dear boy, give me your hand. I know • how you feel, and I intend to help you. I had the same experience when I was your age, and it has made my life the lonely one that it is; some time I will tell you all about it. Go right to your little sweetheart and tell her to set the day at once, and when you are married -you will have a home to take her to." "Uncle Ben," cried Max, starting to his feet and wringing my hand pain- fully, "I—I don't know what to say to you." "Don't say anything; I don't want you to," said I, rather crustily, to hide my feelings. "Take your hat and go; I've got some business that I must at- tend to at once." Max was evidently as glad to go as I was to have him. What queer notions men have about holding their feelings. I saw that his eyes were shining like diamonds through a mist of tears as he wrung my hand again,.and said in a voice, trembling with several emotions: "God bless you, Uncle Ben;" then he rushed away, and I sat down to think a little, and wipe away my own tears. New York was a mean place for a young couple to begin, and begin small. Nothing but fats, and to raj' notion a flat is no home. But in the far end of Brooklyn was as sweet and cosy a little house as any one, rich or "poor could want. A sweet, sunny little house, surrounded with trees and flowers, and just the place for any " little woman with a happy heart and busy hands to make a bower -like home of. The owner wanted to sell, so • the sooner I saw him the better; and, with that decision, I jumped up, put on my wrappings, and was soon trunding off in an. uptown car—I don't like new- fangled notions, and the elevaters make me nervous. It was a cold, blustery night, and I had a long ride before me. So I settled in my corner, and for a long while noticed no one, and then a young girl came in and sat down opposite me, and I couldn't help but watch her. The lamp -light fell squarely on her face, and she could not see me looking at her, so I did so unreservedly, and thought I had never seen one sweeter or more refined. She was cold and would like to thank you, and I would be pleased to have you." She threw the door open as she spoke, and I was just on the point of declining with thanks, when the parlor door was thrown open and without a glance at me, Max rushed out! "Jean, why are you so late? I was terribly worried, and— Then he look- ed ti beyond at me—"Heaven and earth! —Uncle Ben!" "Max Jessup!" I responded, with a gasp; and then for one full minute the air fairly quivered with exclamation points, , "I don't understand—I didn't know —" began Max, in utter bewilderment, which could not be wondered at. "You didn't expect me to get here as soon as you, did you?" I managed to say, with a laugh, as the facts in the case slowly bean to dawn upon me. "Well, Max, I'm as astonished as you are. "And is this Miss Delmar?" I added, turning to Jean, who advanced, perfectly silent with astonishment. "Yes, sir," she said, holding out her hand with a charming smile; " and if I correctly understand, it is Max's uncle to whom I am so indebted.. ,I am so delighted to find it so.

I followed her, still smiling at Mug's bewildered face; and when she went away to lay off her things I explained the case to Max. - "And you were out in, our behalf?" he exclaimed, after having indulgedin a vain rage atJean's encounter. "Oh, Uncle Ben! you are good! You will be rewarded some way. "My reward will be in seeing you spared the unhappiness I suffered, and still suffer," I answered, much touch- ed by his emotion and gratitude. "She is a dear, sweet little girl, Max—a true, lovely little woman. Make her your 'wife as soon as she is willing; and re- member what I said this evening. Max was about to answer when Jean returned, smiling and sweet as a flower, with pretty bows, as blue as her eyes, fastened in her snug hair, and the smiles rippling over her face as she talked to us. "Mamma is late, too," she said, glancing at the clock. "We are neith- er of us ladies of leisure," she added, with a merry laugh to me. "Mamma is a visiting governess, and I am a poor music teacher. Don't you think Max made a very singular choice?" "A very happy one, I answered; but at that moment the outside door open- ed and Jean jumped up. "This is mamma; excuse me a mo- ment please." I looked around the room while she was one, and still further formed my opinion of these two.
