"Or his determination to gratify hie

"Yuu have no right to impugn Ilk mo.

lifted safe above the bitter flood of pov-
erty, 1 would not urge you to a repul,ivt;

"Forgive me, grannie. I ata ungra-
eious, selfish. If 1 marry Mr. Waring, 1
will do it cheerfully."
She rose and brought the writing ma-
terials. "I wilt see him, but I do.not
promise to aeeept him, unless--"
"Let him plead his own rause," inter-
rupted Mrs. Newburgh, stretching out
her hand for pen and paper. 'lie will
induce you to take a different view, I
am sure." With difficulty she traced a
few lines, excusing their brevity on the
score of illness, and asking him to call
ou the following day. when Miss Joseelyn
would ?twelve him. "You must address
it, dear. He does not know your hand."
"It is of no consequence," said Mona.
Removing the writing materials, and
taking out an envelope, she sat down
to direct it.
"It is not natural, Mona, to be so cold
and indifferent. Yet 1 have not detected
tiny liking on your part for any other
man, except, indeed—"
"No, no," interrupted Mona, quickly.
assured, dear grannie:'
"Then, Mona, you will love young
Waring when he is your husband,"
"Oh! yes, I dare say I shall. Now,
grannie, I am going to read you the pa-
per, try and listen—it may rest your
brain a little,"
"I will, Mona, I will; because you have
given me a little hope."
The rest of the dull, drear November
day Mona moved slowly perhaps, but
firmly, as if keenly alive to the work
she had to 'do. But side by side with her
clear perception of duty and responsi-
bility, was another sense of coming pain
and sacrifice. Were she alone, with only •
sell to provide for, she could launeh her- '
self upon the ocean of life --fearlessly, if
hopelesslyy. But she must not desert her •
grandmother! and if she could provide
for her by "accepting service"—so she
termed it in her own mind—with Mr.
Waring. If only—it was not to be mar-
riage.
Late in the afternoon a card was
brought her. "Captain St. John Lisle,
—th Hussars," She thought an instant,
penciled a line on it, "So sorry! I can-
not leave Mrs. Newburgh," and sent it
back to him.
This incident was in Waring's favor.
"I should like to tell hint that I am
engaged to his protege, when we next
meet," she thought. "Yet how base it is
to be thus influenced by pique against
one man, in my acceptance or another—
another who .perhaps really loves me, for
I suppose I shall accept him. As George
Eliot says, 'One may rave upon the
heights, but you know that your per-
sistent self awaits you on the plain,' the
terrible dead level of necessity to which
I am fast sinking. But, right or wrong,
I will pose to Captain
Lisle as a hard-
headed orldling. He shall not pity Ire,
or suspect my contemptible weakness.
Ilk shall not fancy he was in such danger
of being dragged down by my misfor-
tunes that it was necessary to pass Inc
to some ono else, Could I have betrayed
any feeltngs so completely, that he should
think it necessary to take decided mea-
sures for self-defence? Yet how utterly
I believed in him! Was I self -deceived,
or—but I will not think any more of my-
self, and my folly, my contemptible
folly! I ought to forget self altogether,
It is the best way to be happy. Ahl
shall I ever be happy again?"
Captain Lisle waa not the only visitor
to Green street that day. Late in the
afternoon Sir Robert Everard was an-
nounced.
"I cannot see him," murmured Mrs.
Newburgh. "You must go, Mona—ex-
plain how incapable I feel."
Sir Robert was a thorough country
gentleman. He seemed to bring an at-
mosphere of the woods and fields with
him Into the chili, diili dining -room,
which had a deserted air. A middle-aged,
middle-eized man, plump and rosy, with
pepper and salt colored] mutton-ehop
whiskers, looking always as if he had
come fresh from abath, His shirt
fronts were the snowiest, his clothes the
glossiest, his voice had a mellow ring
in it, which atoned for the loud, au-
thoritative key in which he usually
spoke.
"VVell!" he exclaimed, taking Mona's
hand in one of bis, and patting it with
the other, "how is the poor grannie? 1
protest I neiier was more eut up than
when I found how desperately she has
been swindled! She would stick to the
ship, in spite of all that Oakley or I
could say. The few solvent shareholders
backed out some years ago, and the test
are mostly men of straw, so they'll not
leave Mrs. Newburgh a rap."
"Poor dear grannie is very, very mis-
erable, Sir Robert. It is so curious that
so clever a woman should have believed
in what many of her friend* and ad-
visers doubted."
"She was always obstinate, my dear,
devilish obstinate! However, 1 have a
bit of good news. A friend of mina
wants to buy the house. lie will give a
decent tum, too; and 1 want your grand-
mother to convey the money to ene for
you, or some legal jugglery of that kind.
Go, ask her if she well be able to see ms
and Oakley to -morrow, that we may
settle about it. It will be n something
'batten you anFl want."
"I will go and telt her,se laid Mons,
hretening away. "Will it be enough to
save sae from the necessity of marrying
any one?" she thought.
iiir Robert Everard emit his hands in
his pockets, and paced the room, whist -
lime softly.

ones who ruight, indulge themselves in

"My grandmother will be glad to see
you to -morrow at twelve," said Mona,
coaling back.
"All right; just sit down while I write
a Hue to Oakley, asking hint to meet use
here. We will have a consultation, then
we'll see what is best to be done; we
must secure whatever money Mrs. New-
burgh gets for the house from the claws
of the liquidators. Lady Mary wants
her—both of you—to come down to the
Chase, 1 am in to shoot in Ross -shire;
Evelyn comes with ate. The other two
are going for a month with their aunt
to Biarritz; so you will be quite quiet.
A change will do your grandmother a
lot of good, and set her up again, hey?"
"Thank you so much; it would, indeed.
I am afraid it will be some time before
she can be moved," returned Mona, who
shrunk from the idea of visiting the
Chase again.
"You wilt be all the better for beiug
turned out to grass yourself, nay dear,"
he resumed, kindly. "It's hard lines for
a young thing like you to be plunged
into such trouble. Why, you are not as
old as Evelyn. I suppose grandmamma
is not in the sweetest of temper—a little
hard in the mouth just now, elt?"
"Oh, no, Sir Robert; she is an angel.
She seems to have lost faith in herself;
sbe has not the force to insist on any-
thing; it breaks my heart to see her so
pitifully gentle."
"She must be badly hit. I am awfully
sorry for her—for both of you. Just
write that, my dear, will you? I'll post
it as I go along. And I must leave you
now. I ani going to dine with Rivers.
You remember Rivers who was at the
Chase when you were with us? Rich
old dog—wouldn't spend a penny on any-
thing but his dinners—they are first-
rate. He a crotchety old sinner; seldom
goes to anyone's house. Lady Mary was
rather proud of his staying nearly a
week with us; but he did not get such
dinners in my house as he has in his
own."
Sir Robert Everard talked on in his
kindly, easy way, while Mona wrote the
note.
Mr. Oakley obeyed the summons. Mrs.
Newburgh, revived by her new hopes,
was up and dressed when Sir Robert
and the solicitor arrived. She bad, with
the help of Webner's arm, descended to
the drawing room; but she looked like
a ghost of her former self,
Then ensued a long, melancholy discus-
sion, at which Mrs. Newburgh insisted
her granddaughter should be present, and
from which the latter gathered that it
was of no use endeavoring to save any-
thing out of the wreck—that whatever
the unfortunate shareholders possessed
must pass into the clutches of the com-
pany's creditors; a call had already been
made, and would be followed by
others, until all was swallowed up. It
was therefore deemed more prudent for
Mrs. Newburgh to reside in the house
she had bought, than to move to another
for which she would have to pay rent.
Her income had of course been narrowed
to a miserable eighty or ninety pounds
a year, and even on that she could not
long count.
"You see, Mona, the condition to which
we are reduced," said Mrs. Newburgh,
when their friendly counsellors, with
grave faces and kindly expressed sympa-
thy, had withdrawn. I purposely asked
you to be present at this eonference,
that yon might understand the *tie
state of the case. I leave you to draw
your own conclusions. No, dear, do not
reopen the discussion. I trust to your
own common sense and right feeling. 1
am quite exhausetd. Ring for Wehner
to help me to my room. I can see no one
else to-day—no one—remember, Mona."
Thus cut off from remonstranee, Mona
felt she was left to her fate, and Mr.
Waring; grannie was resolved to leave
the decision—the responsibility—to her.
Mrs. Newburgh had not long returned
to her own room, and had just taken
some refreshment, when Mr. Waring's
card was brought. A strong feeling of
humiliation and disgust arose in Mona's
heart, the eahn indit?ferenee of which she
boasted the previous day failed her at
the moment of trial.
"Do not keep the poor young man
waiting," said Mrs. Newburgh.
"It is frightful, having to go deliber-
ately to listen to an offer of marraige,"
Cried Mona, starting up and walking to
the window instead of the door.
"I thought you would not mind."
"1 thought so, too; but I will go, dear
grannie."
She came back quickly, kissed the old
woman's cheek, and disappeared.
Mona went rapidly downstairs, and
straight into the dining -room, without
allowing herself to pause for a moment—
half frightened, half angry, at her own
faintness of spirit,
Mr. Waring stood on the hearth -tug,
He was not so tall as Lisle; his broad
shoulders and rather short neck further
diminished his height. He was built
more for strength than grace, and,
though not fat, was, it must be admit-
ted, fleshy. Itis ]hair was dark, almost
Mack, abundant and wavy, and his
broad, good-humored fate was redeemed
from absolute plainness by a pair of fine,
soft, dark -brown eyes. lie was in gen•
oral ruddy and fresh -looking, but the ex-
citement, indeed, it may be said, the ter-
ror of the moment, had blanched his
- cheeks, till he met Mona's eyes, when he
blushed furiously.
She hesitated after she had crossed the
threshold, and closed the door, standing
tall, infinitely sad, in the simpleet morn -1
ing-dress of black silk and cashmere she ,
possessed, a lace scarf pinned round her
- throat with an old-fashioned broach, ler
brighthair turned loosely baek sur-
mounting her fair, pale face like an
aureole,
"I ant to Hauch, so very rnueh obliged
to you for teeing me!" exclaimed War-
ing, starting forward to take her hand,
which be shook nervously and dropped
immediately. Mona murmured f 0nle-

' turned Mona, who had some sense of
luttike ulor,
raised her eyes as she spoke: and
meeting his, eould not restrain it kindly
smile, feeling lin little sympathy with
his uneasiness and evident sense of dif-
ficulty.
"Yuu are amused, I dare say," he cried,
his power of speech unlocked by the
magic of her smiling eyes; "you must be
antneed, to bear me blundering like err
idiot about the weather, when my heart
and mind are filled with hope and fear.
Tell me, Hiss Joseelyn, did Mrs, New-
burgh show yuu my letter?"
"She dill."
"And will you will you let me tell
you how awfully I was taken watt you
the first time I ever saw you at tlutt
Richmond dinner Lady Mary Everard
gave last year—before you were present-
ed, you know?"
"Were you there?" asked Mona,
dreamily.
At that, dinner she hall first met Lisle.
He had not spoken to her, but she had
even then felt a degree of attraction to
him which surprised her, and he had
remarked her--or—said so.
"Oh, I don't suppose you saw me. I
never can push. Young Everard and
some other fellows were round you all ,
the time; but I have thought of you:
eversince. Do you know, last season's
balls were the first I ever went. to. Il
thought they were all rot. 1 like the!
racing set better, 1 used to go only for
the chance of meeting you—and you
would scarcely ever dance with me. To
be sure, I am a stupid beggar about
dancing,"
A pause.
"I think I always gave some dances,"
said Mona, rather at a loss what to re-
pt
ee
Oh, you were always civil!" exclaimed
Waring, taking a little eup from the
mantel -piece and turning it round and
round as if examining the pattern. "Not
like some girls, who are either killing
sweet, or snub you •right and left. You -
are gentle and grave. I used to think I
should never have the pluck to ask you
to marry me, but—a—you see, when Mrs.
Newburgh came to grief, I. was ashamed
of not offering at least to be of use to
you."
"And are you content that I should
accept you as a refuge from the ills of
poverty?" asked Mona, looking gravely,
salmly at hila.
"I am," said Waring, after a minute's
pause, putting down the eup, and speak-
ing more collectedly. "It's not pleasant,
of course, but I have faith in you. If
yon promise to be my wife, yon will try
to like nje, and I'll try to please you
-with alt my soul and with all my
strength, as somebody says in the Bible,
I think," added Waring, to enforce his
professions—his religions studies were
slight and somewhat mixed. "And it will
go bard if I don't get you to love me,
unless—unless," his large brown eyes
grew imploring—"you care for some oth-
er fellow! For God's sake, don't say you
love any other fellow! I never fancied
you did,"
"I do not indeed." Her tone carried
conviction to her hearer.
"Then—then, Miss Joseelyn, could you
make up your mind to marry me? I
think you might grow to like inc by and
by, and I need not say I would be de-
lighted to carry out any plan, and," with
emphasis, "that yon think would be best
for Mrs. Newburglt's comfort."
"It is a tremendous question to an-
swer," said Mona, hesitating, yet feeling
she must accept him, There was no
other way left, and she was touched by
his unaffected humility. "Yesterday or
the day before I looked on you as a
stranger; to -day I air to decide if I am
to pass my whole life with you or not.
I must say what sounds unkind, that I
do not love you that if this great mis-
fortune had not befallen Mrs. Newburgh,
I should probably have refused you—so
I do not deserve your love!"
"But I cannot help giving it to you!
And if you do make up your mind to
take me, you might just let me forget
that you were driven to it'
"Yes; I am very ungracious. There is
another circumstance I ought to men-
tion; you may not like to know that
my name is not Joseelyn. My grand-
mother always called me by my second
baptismal name; I am really Mona Craig.
My father was of very humble origin, I
believe; and Mrs. Newburgh never for-
gave my mother for marrying him; but
I dearly loved him as a little child,
though I have forgotten what he was
like."
"I don't care what your name is as
long as you will take (nine. I am no
great thing as regimes family myself.
I have heard something of Mrs. leew•
burggh's whim before."
"Is it possible?"
"I don't fancy that anything is a se-
cret," said Waring. "Perhaps it is not
fair to press you for an answer to -day.
But you see time flies, and I long to be
able to tell Sir Robert Everard that I
have it right to discuss with him what is
best to be done. Don't you fancy that
I would hold back because you refused
me. Whether you saeyes or nee I would
ask nothing better tan to be of use to
you; but not being a relation, it would
be awkward for----"
"It would be impossible," interrupted
Mona, in a low tone; then pressing her
clasped hands together tightly, she said
with some solemnity—"Since you believe
I eould make you happy---"
"You will be my wife?" interrupted
Waring eagerly in his turn.
"I will, Mr. Waring, and try to,be a
good one." She grew very pixie as she
spoke.
"You are it great deal too good for me;
and as you do not care for any other fel-
low, perhaps you may end by caring for
me"
Thele was an awkward pause, then
Waring Walked over to the writing table
and took up a aper -knife with which he
played nervously,
"there are one or two things I should
like to tell you, if you do not mind?"
'What can he be go'ing to confess?"
thought Mona. She, however, only bent
her head in silence.
"I have not been as steady as I ought
to be," resumed Waring, looking down
and growing red. "You see, my brother
and myself were brought up by an old
bachelor guardian. We had no women in
the house, and that made us rather
rough. Then 1 have Yost a odd bit at
ear et and rads. I'm a littI6 too fond

low, and well settle something About
Newburgh. She ought to get out

i "Thank you," returned Mona, toue'hed
by his eagerness to verve her. "I am
grateful to „you, Mr. Wining."
