Grenville ackrtawiedged the compli- ment, and pion. ed: and punctually at three be was at Westmitieter Bridge, watching witlt considerable interest the rapid approach of a large laur:re—n ridlculouxly large one for the small number of people on hoard. She had, in fact, only two passen- gers, though thgre was room for fifty. One of the two was Alfred, whose lanky figure was unmistakable et any distance; and the dark, etralgttt, strapping young woman at file shin was, of t„urCe, Alfred's wife. The meeting between the brothere wax hearty enough, but it night have been more entirely cordial had there been it little less etfuelvenese on ono side—not Granville's. But Alfred—who was dressed (u rough tweed clothes of indeterminate cut, and had disfigured himself with a beard—wae so demon- strative in his greeting that the younger brother could not help glancing anxiously round to assure himself that there was no ono about who knew hint. It woe relief to him to be released and ln- trohiced to the Bride. "Ohelye, this Is"(Nen come to tot us --as I know he would—like the brick he le, and always wae." Gran was conecloue of being mcra- tlnitell keenly by the finest dark twee he hail ever encountered In Ids life; but the next moment he was shaking his sister-in-law'e hand, and felt that it was a large hind— a trifling discovery that filled Gran- ville with a subtle sense of satisfac- tion. But the Liri to wae yet to open her Ilpe. "How do YOU do?" elm said, the olive tint of her cheek &teeming ellglrtly. "It wae awful nice of you to come; I am glad to ser, you—I have heard such lots about you, you know." It was said so glibly that the little cpeee.lt was not, perhaps extempore; and It wae spoken, every word of it, with a twang that, to sensitive erre like Granville's, wae simply lacerat- ing. Granville winced, and Involuntar- Ily dropped his eye-glaee; but other- wlte he kept a courteous counte- nance, and made a sufficiently civil reply, Ax for Alfred, he, of course, not- iced nothing unusual in his wife's ascents; he was pied to them: and, Indeed, It seemed to Granville that Alfred] spoke with a regrettable drawl himself, "You've got to pity sho'.vttntn, Gran;" said he, when sotto natural questions had been hurriedly put and tereely answered (by which time they were opposite Lambeth Pal- ace), "I've been trying, but I'm it poor hand at It ; indeed, I'm a error Lohdoner, and always wax; below Blackfriars I wae quite at OCR, n nd from here to Richmond I'm lie Ig- norant as a brush," "No; hove no good at all," chimed In tiro bride, pleasantly. "Well, I'm not well rap In It, either," said Gran, warily. Tile wae untrue, however. Gran- ville knew hie Thames better than most men—It oat ono of the things he did know. But he had a scltolar's reverence for classic ground; wad In to young man who revered so very little, tide was remarkable, If it wad not affectation. Granville would have suffered tortures rather than gravely point out historic spots to at person whose Ilene of history probably went ito further back that the old Colonial digging days; he would have poured suvereigas Into the sea as readily as tee coin of sacred aetoofatione Into Gothic ears. At least, so he atter- wards Bald, when defending Nle objec- tion to Interpreting the Thames for 1110 sister -In-law's benefit. "What nonsense!" Dried Alfred, good humoredly. "You know all about it --at all events, you used to. There— we've gone and let her mise Lambeth Paine! Look, dear, quick, while it's still in sight—that's whore the Arch- bishop of Canterbury hangs out." "Oh," ®aid Gladys, "I've heard of him." "And Isn't that Cheyne Walk, or some such place, that we're coming to on the right there?" said Alfred. "Yes," said Granville, briefly; "that's Cheyne Walk."

And that the bride wee a sadly uneducated Denton was euffieleutty clear, It only from her manner of speaking.

Nor was the speech of Alfred free from the taint—Alfred, whoeo pronunciation at least had men correct before he went out; while the common colloquialisms of the pair made Granville shudder. "If I did not (tope for such sur- prisingly good Tooke; maid 110 to himself, "yet even I woe not pre- portal for quite to much vulgarity! Poor dear Altrud I" And Granville sighed, complac- ently.

Aloe! :theta her speech there mould bo no two mentalistell betrayed herr, Presently Alfred sat down beside his brother, and began to tell hhn everything, and did all the talking; while the bride still stood watching- the witchingthe slttftlng panoramic of the banks, and the golden sunlight upuu the water, and the mnrvelloas green of all green things. It was practically her first experience of this color. and still she ueked no queetione, her inter- est being perhaps too Intense; and so tho showman -beefless was for- getteu, to the great relief of Gran- ville; and the time elipprd quickly b,v. At Inst — and quite sud- denly — the bride clapped her hands, and turned with spnrrkling Dyes to her lulsband; they had en- tered that splendid remelt below Richmond, and the bridges were In sight, with the hill beyond. "I give this beet 1" she cried. "It does knock slots out of the Yarra and tete Murray atter all!" Alfred glanced uneasily at ids bro- ther, but found nn Impassive face,. "Come, old fellow," said Alfred, "do your duty; jump up and tell her about these places." So at laet Granville mach, an et - fort to do so; lie got tip and went to the Olde of the bride; and presently he was exercising a discreet If not a delicate vein of irony, that was peculiarly hie own. "That was Kow we passed just now —you trust see the gardens there," he Bald; "and this is Richmond." "Kew and Richmond!" exclaimed the bride, Innocently. "Hew rine! Wo have a Kew and a Richmond in Melbourne." "Ah I" said Oran. "I don't fancy the th'ett was on our aide.

"Not far off," said Alfred, Granville bit his Hp. "We are very nearly there," he said ; "this Is the beginning of Twickenham." "Then where's the Ferry 7" said the Bride. "I know all about 'Twickenham Ferry ;' wo once had a etorekeeper—a new chum —who used to sing about it like mad. Show ILm e." "There, then; it crosses by the foot of tho Island ; it's about to cross now. Now, in a minute, l'll show you Pope's old place; we don't go quite so far—In fact, hero we urn—but you'll be able just to see it, I think." "The Pope 1" said Gladys.

"Are we there?" whispered Glud,ye. "Just, my darling. Look, that's the house—the one with the tall trees and the narrow lawn." "Hoo -jolly -ray I" "(lush, Waddle!
