The value of first impres- sions, given or taken, would be vastly more accurate without a smirk, but Mr. Jack was conscious of the importance of the step he was about to take and took It in the conventional way. He presented his card and was con- ducted to a seat.

At our first glimpse into the Mace- donian mansion it is night. Dinner is devoted union. But at last there was a tread upon the stairs and his heart beat in unison to its light patter as it descender. 'There was fate in it, perhaps, for him. Very Ilong past, and the quietude which I much as a drowning man sees the ac- comes into such luxurious places with I cumulated acts of his life pass before the first low lighting of the gas, per- him in virion, so this gentleman saw vades the long hall and drawing room. during that critical moment a cluster tt •No sound is audible save the faint tick- ing of dignified clock in some remete placeThissilence nd the hall door. ne t? . is broken presently by the jingle of a bell far off where the clock is and the movement of feet outside upon the sandstone steps. A servant opens the hall door, turns up the light, and going to the front door admits Mr. Jack Horner. To tell how Mr. Jack Horner came there we must begih at the beginning. II• On the morning of the day when Mr. Horner so presented himself he sat in his handsome office in Wall street, with that steadfast kind of a Iook from the "HELLO, BUNTER." eyes which a man assumes who has some rather illusive thing to occupy his thought 1th. One leg was thrown aver the ar .of Ms chair and an un- occupied hand was reached, with now and then a little rat -tat, to his desk. This was not vulgarly full of papers, for Mr. Jack, although he professed to be in business and liked to affect a familiarity with stocks, was, in truth, a very rich man, who lived only for the enjoyment of his special little set of whims. " By Jove," quoth he at last with an inflection that hinted at something more to cpine. But the something more was Just what Mr. Jack was trying to settle with himself, and he really did not know at that moment whether he felt it truly and absolutely or did not, so he refrained from uttering it. It would have been had it passed his lips : " By Jove, I believe I love that girl !" This feeling had been germinating all winter. It had had ball -room, theatrl • cal and conservatory treatment, and was fast reaching, with Mr. Jack at least, a visible state. It was becoming of such bulk. and had such a fixed place In his life, that it needed systematic inspection, in order that it might be' properly classified. Here was he—so he ruminated—a man of great fortune ; at- tractive in figure ; so-so in face, and thirty-flve. What a match ! He really could not help thinking so, even to the exclamation point. He had rather scoff - eel before this at the soft influence of "' your sentiment and all that, you know"—but what was he to do ? He had lost interest in many things which formerly pleased him. Wedlock seemed a prettty good thing for other men—it could not be harmful—too uni- versal for that. '" But then I am so diff t iti situated from other men." he er to himself. " My situation is unique He unconsciously said this last aloud and it was answered promptly by a pleasant voice with "Jack Horner, I swear it ! Thou art unique !" " Hello, Hunter," he said, and laugh- ed a little, while Mr. Hunter took a seat and lodged his feet alongside of Mr. Jack's hand on the desk. Their talk was of last night's doings and sayings ; a tepid little commentary Enough where none of the ingredients v ere very biting nor,'in truth, very sub- stantial ; but then In the morning one's digestion, whether mental or abdomin- al, is often not exacting, and so these gentlemen made remarks In one nr two syllables on many things not dreamt of in our philosophy, until silence overtook them and they relapsed into the reflect- ive state. I was deuced mortified, though, at Parkinses," says Mr. Hunter. " I went ur• to the door and actually rung the bell when I found that I had not a single visiting-ca .rd left. I went through with the ceremony there with- out one• but I didn't call anywhere else. Mighty unpleasant to have to explain everywhere, you know. so I just turn- ed In and vowed tagala.ve some struck off this morning. W-liat do you think of them ?" " Humph," says Jack, "quite, like my awn. Where d you get 'em done, at Miller's 7" " Yes." " So did I." Mr. Jack took nut his case. and n Arawingt rth a card handed it to Mr, Hunter, who looked at it and laid it down on the desk next to his own with approbation and a laugh at the plea- sant coincidence• "' We shall be mistaken, Jack, I vow," said he. Flattery, indeed." said Mr. Jack. He privately thought there was not much danger, but the liberty was quite par- rnable in Hunter, and he let It pass. hen each taking his card from the t.ble°the gentlemen rose and sauntered &]ling as they went, out of the office fid dowrir:ctreet. IHI. •fheg :lr'rvnnt who answered the bell at evMacedon Mansion admitted a gen- of the encouragements and perplexities which had hitherto beset his course to- ward the present, consummation. The light was low where he`sat, and the lady who entered went first to turn it up• This done, she advanced to wel- ccme the visitor. Ile sat wftn a fa"e full of hurt surprise, looking at her for an explanation which he felt reluctant to demand. She, on her side, was far from self-confident. She was the bear- er of somebody else's not wholly white lie and the burden made her thptl(r. Site faltered out a greeting and then said : " You asked Per Miss Macedon ? I am really very sorry. She is not at home. I know she would be charmed to see you." Then, during a consider- able pause. during which 'Mr. Horner stepped forward to his hat : "' Have we nut met before ? Do you r,'member the girl tvhe brought the milk to your canoe on the Hudson ? You afterward came to the house and was had a c(untry dance, as you called it, at twilight. in the hay field :"' Remember It ? Ah, that he did, and asked a hundred questions, which the fair companion of Miss 14facedon an- swered so naively and gently, that the two drifted into a current of pleasant talk which so absorbed blr. Jack that he almost forgot his dl'•appointment. Above stairs In the house of the Mace - dons, in another storey of tate great. brow -beating mansion, and in quite an- other state of mind, sat Miss Alexandra with a novel • resting unread in her hands. She had reached that point in the novel where the obstacles to• the match begin, like the hurdles In a race, to be fixed deliberately across the course of true love. Miss Macedon was Now Skits for 10 Coats. ' "There are Mrs Brown's boys all out in new suits again. I never saw such a woman!

She had res:)]vcd to face Mr. Ilunter and ign •re the companion. Sweeping, down 'stairs then, with no trace of the late in- decision in her countenance, nut with r ;diant smiles instead, she at last stepped brightly into the drawing room, passed rapidly by the two talking so earnestly together and approached the waiting visitor. " How happy I am to have had you call, Mr. Horner. Pray, pardon me for keeping you—I—" " Ha ! ha ! ha !" cries Mr. Hunter. "A slight mistake ! Very flattering, very flattering ; but I think Mr. Iiorner is gather interested elsewhere!!' With this Mr. Hunter pointed toward the side of the room where Miss Lovel and the first caller were conversing. Looking In that direction, Miss Mace- don i;ecame confused. The servant's account was wrong then ? She turned smilingly to Mr. Horner and greeted him with marked sweetness, at the same time looking just a shade of re - Proof at the attendant. Mr. Horner arose with dignity as she spoke. He was surprised and deeply hurt. The ardent feeling with which he had entered the house had already been partly turned into a new channel by the unaffected loveliness of his en- tertainer. He had somehow undergone a change, and even if this affront—this pretense of absence from home—hal been spared him. yet he could not moot Miss Macedon with the Intense delight such a meeting would have given him half an hour ago. But, for ail that, his rense of the unpardonable mortification he was! made to suffer was not the lers keen. He stood fora moment and looked at the hostess coldly, then. turn- ing to Mtss'Lovel, he bowed and slow- ly said : " Miss Lovel. I am greatly indebted to you for depriving me of the company of my hostess. My visit to you has been most agreeable. 1 hog that we mny meet again," And with this, and a very grand tread, Mr. Jack Horner, incensed be- yond measure, took his hat and depart- ed. The three occupants of the room were sllent after the door closed for some seconds. At last Mr. Hunter said : ' Miss Macedon, will you let me see the card you halve In your hand ?" She showed it to him. " Ila ! ht: !" he exclaimed. "I thought so. Here is the key to the plot. Jack Horner and l unconsciously exchanged cards this morning and this is the first call since. We have each presented the top card. which, as fate decreed, bore the name of the other fellow. I beg to bid adieu. Miss Macedon. I find I have escaped my fate at the expense of my good friend, Jack. We must all play our cards more adroitly hereafter.— Copyright, Racheller.'Johnson & Rach- eller. i`AOW TIAPPY I AM TO lrAYE DAD • YOl: rot in love. but there was a man in her mind whose characteristics were singu- lnrly like those of the noble hero of her hook. This latter was hannsome ; so v'as he. This novel man was rich ; so was he ; was generous, brave—anything you like ; so was he ; and Miss Mace - don's feelings. having arrived at this stage there was only a very short step from such sublimity across into the ri- diculous bounds of that love which the ncn-elect will chaff you and harry you upon with a fearlessness quite heroic. Being at this stage of feeling, then, about Mr. Jack Horner, what wonder If she had refused to receive Mr. Caleb Hunter, her old friend—he'" could be nothing more, she privately thought— whose card had just been brought her ? What wondee indeed, if she comms,; - stoned Miss Lovel, her dutiful attend- ant, to announce her pleasure to be absent from home to him and to bow him out ? When Miss Lovel ventured to urge that she did not know the gen- tleman, she was plausibly instructed that this was an official. not a social, miSFIOn, and so, driven by a little direct argument. she undertook it. But now while the pleasant pastoral talk is exchanged in the drawing room Miss Macedon herself. all unconscious of the real identity of her visitor, lies hack in her chair dreaming a soft gas- light dream of things to be. This dream is singularly like the one which had visited Mr. Jack a little be- fore in the lower room• The same cul- mination of marriage was the result of each, and much the same conditions Ir( veiled In hers as in his. The door opened now, after a slight knock, and a servant entered with a card. Miss Macedon did not at first notice the intrusion. She was determined to follow up the winding passages of her reverie to the last limit, and quite ig- nored, though not unconscious of, the bearer of another card. At last, reach- ing nut a languid hand, without turn- ing her eyes aside. she took the card and musingly scanned it as if she read. hut did not heed Its name. Rut on a sudden she rose and asked a hurried question oe two. Mr. Horner ! Was he In the drawing room with the other? Trow provoking ! Had he spoken to Mr. Hunter ? The servant (lid not know Mr. Hunter. 1f she meant the other gentleman who was talking to Miss Lovel so long, yes. Put the gentleman was ton occupied and did not say much. " Humph !" says Miss Alexandra, and h!ds the girl go. When the door had closed she hurried to dress, thinking all the time violently, accusing herself for the misstep she had made, now determining boldly to carry herself through the dilemma and face Mr. Hunter with a serene effront- ery. or even deny that Miss Lovel had been told to say that she was not at home, and so throw the odium on her, Was she not a mere waiting maid. 1n• ('atarrh- - Use Nasal Balm.
