It's nota happy enough name for you, but I love it all the salve. 1 can't call you Mona, if you say Mr. Waring." "It setons so strange," murmured Mona. "Well, never mind to -day; may I go to Sir Robert?" "You may," said Mona, with white lips. "Thank you!" cried Waring, his eyes lighting up, his whole face radiant, and so far carried away with the joy that he took and kissed her hand, letting it drop directly. "I suppose I ought to go away now?" ht said, humbly, "but I should like to stay. It is almost impos- sible to believe that you have really pro- mised to marry me, that I niay stay and talk to you, and will not have to give up my place to any one! That fellow Lisle always came and turned rue out when we were at Harrowby Chase; but he isn't half bad. Do you know, it was he that advised me to try niy chance with you?" "Did you want advising?" said Mona, in an unsteady voice. "No, not advising, only heartening up! Tell me—would you like to travel on the eontinent? I haven't been much abroad myself. Of course I always go to Paris for the Grand Prix, and to the Baden races—but you?" "Everything must depend on my grand- mother's condition," interrupted Mona. "And, Mr. Waring—if you do not think it very rude—I must go to her now." "You are looking very white," he said, him even to herself; all she eared for Waring is a lucky fellow to be able to tenderly, "so 1 will leave you; but I was to bide the depth of the impression seize what is no doubt a fortunate op - hope you are not un`tappy, and if there he had stamped upon her Heart—to make po iiiiit3 " is anything more you wish me to do,,.him believe that she, too, had but amus- "Ay, the fair lady might have given ed herself, and that she was quite ready a different answer .had this crash not g `,I es Rh something of her former briskness.

But I do not think he is so much a boy as you fancy. 1 know he is a favorite among glen, and that. is always a good sign." And so on for half an hour and more. Mrs. Newburgh was quite talkative; she arranged her granddaughter's future household, greatly to her own satisfac- tion, and settled the amount of pin - money she ought to have. At last Mona was set free to commune with her own heart in her chamber, where she sat very still, reviewing her brief past, and trying to sketch the prob- able future. The immediate past was too delightful to be dwelt upon, yet it had been a delu- sion. She had grown to believe that she was an object of tender interest, of ad- miration bordering on adoration, to a man of wide experience, of acknowledged taste, and behold, his mode of showing sympathy with her in her sudden eclipse was to pass her on to another. She had been but a moment's amusement to this man, and she—it shocked and frightened her to perceive how dear he had become. No doubt, in her inexperience, she had exaggerated nnceh, and accepted many things as meaning more than he intend- ed, She was too proud to complain of Resolute se he was, both by nature and cultivation, he half dreaded the in- terview lie had planned so cunningly. Ile expected teary, agitation, dospatr, however she might seek to hide their real source. He even anticipated some de- lightful moments. When sympathizing in )ler distress. and deploring the exits - envy of his own narrow eire)Il)l tanees, he might offer consolation in a tender embrace, and it few perhaps a good illa]ly passionate kisses. Iler mode Of reeeiring his catllnuli- en tion amazed hint. Ile did not know what to think. Ile felt almost sure that she loved hint. mud even more sore that at the present stage of her existenee she was unworldly and remarkably in- different to rails and riches. Jle could not understand how it was that site fell in so readily with Itis suggestion, and was in truth, mortified in no small degree when he found that the elaborate scheme of soothing caresses and ingen- ious reasoning he had prepared, was so much trouble wasted. If she had eared for him, .lee could not be so good htuuoredly composed ---some stinging words would have escaped her lips, some indication of the rage and pain that must be gnawing her heart would have been visible. IIe was absuredly anxious to sec her again--- to ascertain if she still kept up the salve friendly ease which had baffled hint. Meantime 11e waited in London, while his uncle was engaged in arranging with the military bigwigs the details of his new command. It would be notch bet- ter to go out to India free and unfet- tered, to know Mona was unable to re- proach him. Still, an odd soreness sur- rounded her image which was so deep- ly stamped upon his mind. IIe was do- terminde to see her again. A few days after having called in vain at Mrs. Newburgh's, Lisle had been breakfasting with General Stafford, and had remained for some time discuss- ing plans. Walking down Piccadilly to his club, he found himself face to face with Sir Robert Everard. "Ha, Lisle, did not know you were in town,' cried the baronet. "And I did not expect to see you at this season, too." "I was obliged to conte lig on tie - count of Mrs. Newburg's business. They won't leave the old woman a rap. First call made yesterday—fifty pounds a share. That will pretty well clear her out. Very foolish to have gone go deep as she did. However' all's well that ends well.

"Very glad to hear it. Miss Joscelyn is far too charming a person to be sub- jected to the revolting ills of poverty. you will say so?" Poor Mona longed to cry. to seize an advantageous opportunity. come. No matter, Mona was always a "I only wish you to go away!' she : She was not revengeful or resentful, only good, quiet girl—one of the domesticat- ed pressing her hand to her heart.

"I am afraid I must go now." "When may I come tomorrow?" asked Waring, lingering. �� "Ohl at two or three! "Well, I see you are tired, and you'll think kindly of me! You know 1 would do anything for you, anything!" "Oh, yes, I will! And now good-bye." Waring caught her hand and looked eagerly at her. For one dread moment her heart fainted within her. Was he going to ask for a kiss? If he had as- pired to such a favor, he wisely post- poned the demand, and again pressing her long, slight fingers to his lips, he left the room. Mona ascended the stairs very slowly and deliberately, painfully conscious that she had fully committed herself. It now remained to complete the sacrifice by assuming a cheerful aspect before her grandmother. Then, when she had satis- fied her, she might escape to regale her own thoughts, to face the situation she had accepted. "Well, Mona?" said Mrs. Newburgh, looking eagerly with her pitiful eyes info her granddaughter's face as she approached, while her thin, tremulous hands grasped the arms of her chair poured on her unoffending head.

But the nightly bad- gering went on. "You will kill Mr. Gladstone one of these days," some one said to him. "Oh, not" he rejoined, "he will long Survive me.

A contemporary recalls the fact that the late King Christian was once a suitor for Queen Victoria's hand, and this reminds the Onlooker of a long -for- gotten romunee of the early months of the Queen's reign. It centred round the Lord Elphinstone of those days, one of the handsomest igen in Europe, and the holder of a high Court post. Thus brought into the almost daily society of the young Queen, he fell desperately in love. Lord Melbourne and the Duchess of Kent considered the position so deli- cate that he was judiciously sent abroad to fill an important post. As was only fitting so exalted a passion, Lord Elphin- stone remained faithful to his romance. Years after, when he held an important post in India, it was his custom both at his dinner table and in his drawing room to have a splendid gilt ,chair placed in a position of honor. In it was a picture of Queen Victoria framed in gold, acrd adorned with gems. He never referred to the silent guest, or seemed, indeed, conscious of the picture's presence, but there it always stood, a mark of his fidelity to his early attachment. The Nature of an Oath.
