"A I demanded tor know if she ha

" I have thrall here," she answered
and took. them from her pocket as sh
spoke; if you will give me two hundred
dollars I will destroy them - here, . in
your presence; if. you refuse, I wil
scream until the attention of people in

"It happened that I had reeeived a
remittance. of two hundred dollars that
very morning ; it was nearly every cent
I hnd in the world, but I resolved that
1 would have those lettere. I tried my
best to beat her down in price, but she
was bbdurate. She told me that she
knew. I had the money, and that it was
foolish to expect her to sell them for
any less. So I paid' her, got hold of the
letters and burned them. That's !all.
Dr. Raymond sat silent. ,
Come now, old boy, that won't
do," remonstrated Mr. Carter; "I've
told you what a fool I was; let's have
your experience,
"You needn't emphasize your _pro-
nouns in that way," returned the
other, with an air of offended dignity-;
'remember that I went into it faney-free.
Have you never heard of such things
resulting in life-long happiness ?"
'" Well, yes, in stories," mit-Pitted the
lawyer; reluctantly ; but I &WIT' 'sus-
pected that- the author stood in with
the publisher for a share of the advertis-•

'Like you," continued Dr, Raymond
serenely disregarding this offensively
matter-of-fact explanation. • ":1' re-
ceived a number of answers, but I did,
not practise on confiding femininity as
you confess to have done; it did no
occur to me. I made separate appoint-
ments with eaoh one; if I failed to keep
Most of them, it was because a distant
view of the waiting female convinced
inc that I had better not take any -
chances; so I skipped, without giving
any sign of my presence. Like you, I
received one letter which excited my.
ouriosity--shall I say my interest ? But
she was not a wislow--widoWs are NA
to be tricky. She was an unhurried
lady of twenty -odd years, hailing fro:n
Certain irreverent and vulgar per.
sons were accustomed to style Mr.
Ed-
ward Carter and his friend Dr. Charles
Raymond "a pair of smart Alecks."
- I say nothing agauist this opinion, but
would respectfully submit the other
side of the case. Mr. Carter consider -
el Dr. Raymond's as the brightest mind
(with one exception, of course), to be
found in the newly risen generation,
and Dr. Raymond entertained a similar
esteem for Mr. Carter, No one could
possibly know either better than they
knew each other; •o so that this opinion
is certainly entitled to some respect.
These two choice spirits had devised
various means of amusing themselves
at the expense of their less gifted fellow
creatures. The professions of law and
medicine, which they had respectively
embraced, not affording suffieient scope
for their energies, they were constantly
on the lookout for new means of em-
ploying their superior talents. He who
discovered such a way was regarded
with admiring envy by his friends.
"I say, Ned," remarked the Esau-
walkin,g into the lawyer's office
one fine day, "I've got an ides."
" Re-mark-a-ble," drawled Mr. Car-
ter for they did not, as, a rule, mani-
fest'in words their mutual respect.
Let us investigate the proportion-
ate number of fools feminine in this
place," quoth the man of science.
"We have frequently done so,"
jected the legal light, •
"But in a way that we have never
yet tried. Let's advertise for a wife."
"I don't have to," responded the
• other, with easy superiority.
"Oh, Iitnow you're engaged, and all
that ; but I didn't mean to be in earnest
about it. I mean just for the fun of the
thing, to see how diany would be fool
enough to answer it,"
- Mr. Carter considered the subject for
a moment, but the legal acumen could
see no reason for ,further resisting the
desire of his friend, and the two con-
cocted a pair of advertisements which
were in the highest style of the art. It
is enough to say that in each one the
charms of the .gentlemen were act forth
with no over weening modesty, while
it demanded that the lady should mere-
ly be young, beautiful, accomplished,
rich, of domestic tastes, a good house-
keeper and a brilliant conversationalist.
I may have forgotten a few of the re-
quirements, but these were certainly
the principal qualities demanded.
Each was to keep his experience a
profound secret from the other for the
apace of two weeks; at the end of that
period Dr. Raymond was to resort to
Mr. Carter's office, and they were to
narrate faithfully and in toto, the re-
sults of the advertisement inserted by
each. •
Prouiptly at the appointed time the
physician sought the lawyer. He came
reluctantly, as if he half feared the re-
ception with which his romantic tale
would be received'; his coining was
awaited with dread. -
"Oh, you've come, have you iv
sighed Mr. Carter " thought may
- be you'd have a patient that would de-
tain you."
"Your imagination does you credit,'
returned Rkymoral, "4f mine were as
active I should say that I thought
may. be a client would be seeking your
advice, but I can not picture that state
of affairs to myself.1
"But I've had a client," Wall the re-
1ponse with a certain air of triumph.
9r. Raymond was sure that it must be
triumph, although it was so carefully
subdued as to resembly disgust.
"And I've haO, a patient, a pretty
one, too," he answered, endeavoring to assert his equality; but let's get _ to
business. How did your advertieement
„pan out ?" -
"Oh, I. got seventeen answers, and
_ every blessed one of them seemed to
think that she filled the bill exactly.
Sixteen of them couldn't spell, and their
letters were horribly written—not the
society scrawl, but labored attempt
-that showed that the writer would do
well if she could."
"Deserve credid for it," murmured
the other; "most of the girls try to see
what an undecipherable aeration they
can put on paper." •
"Itean't be worse than your pre-
ob-
- scriptions would be ityou ever have oc-
casion to write any," retorted the
lawyer; "but keep still now, or else.

to think that I had indeed, discovered

cousin; I wished that I Might meet

give me half*an excuse to knock him

thaeinigagement, and determined to
discuss the subject ivith her at our sec- '
ond interview." -
, " And did you break it rt inquired
• Mr. Carter, eagerly. .
"Don't interfere ; it's impolite when
I am talking, although necessary ,and
excusable when .you are holding forth.
She sent an excuse the next day.To
say I was.disappointed is to put it Very
mildly;• and I wrote her a note telling
her how I longed to break the -hated
bonds that kept her from me. Yes, it
was. rather sudden, I know; but I
really couldn't help it. She answered
evasively, and I wrote again urging her
to see me. That's the way it went
on. One day I was surprised to hear
that my professional services were re-
quired." . '

" She blushed and stammered charm-
ingly when ;he New me. She had not
been feeling well, she saki, and had
asked Mrs. Gray to send for a physician,
but did not know that I had been sum-
moned. • Mrs. 'Gray, was considerate,
and left us alone together. She drew
from beneath her Sofa -pillow the letters
which, I had written to her,
"You urge me to break the bonds
which bind me to *Pother, and be unit-
ed • to you. That Other is my husband,'
She said in a low voile : " what do you
suppose that your rich, generous
and straight laced, maiden aunt would
say to your,making love to a married
woman?"
But you told me—' I began and I
couldn'i get any further. She laughed,
and put out her hand to me. •
" 'You're a foolish boy,".she said,
• "and I forgive you for it. suppose -
you really couldn't help falling in love
with me; but the letters you have
written would shock your respected -re-
lative dreadfully, •Wouldn't they
now?
"1 stammered something about her
betrothed, but she laughed again; and
I remembered that the expressions I
had used would apply to a husband as
well as to a lover, to a divorce as well
as to the breaking of an engagement.
"'Give me the pin which yon wear,'
she said, 'and I will give :you the let-
ter!.'
I looked at her in astonishment.
The pin -was a valuable stone, a gift
from my aunt last Christmas ; and the
proposition seemed preposterous. She
was in earnest, however, and finally
made the trade. I realty could not af-
ford to have my aunt get possession o±
those letters, with any Buell interpre-
tations attached to them." -
• "But you -said you were in love with
her," objected Mr. Carter, apparently
bewildered by the change in the senti-
ments. of his friend.
"And so I was," replied Dr. Ray-
mond, coolly; but I'm not quite so
much so, now. Did you have an idea
that yI were the only individual that
couldindulge in buying up his own let
ters. ,
Well, it strikes me that we have
both been done," remarked the lawyer,
contemplatively. .
"By the way, what did your divin-
ity look like ?" inquired Raymond; a
midden suspicion crossing his mind.
• "This," was the •laconic reply, as
the lawyer optned a drawer of his desk
and produced a cabinet photograph of
the dashing brunette._
We've both been done," returned
the physicien,•reverting to his friend's
former remark, as he gazed at the
photograph; "and, byGeorge 1 it's the
same woman that's done it."
"Did you ever hear of going' out for
wool and coming back shorn ?" Was Mr:
Carter's inquiry, after the pair had ex-
pressed their feelings rather more freely
than I like to record.
"Yes, I've heard of it, . but I neer

• again," was the answer and the tone
waft by no means lamb -like, although
the speaker may have felb sheepish.
Neither M. Carter nor Dr. Raymond
could afford to violate the confidence
whieh the other had repoeed in him, and
theY continued to manifest the same
flattering regard for each other. The
• Kentucky widow, alias the traveled
Bostonian, was not given to telling all
she knew, and never whispered to any
