Tho Albany runs, or rather saunters, frota Vigo street to Piccadilly. It is a quiet space, and the glass roofed avenue gives it tin added air "f seclusion. Bachelors live in tho Albany and are tended by discreet, plain faced housekeepers, to whom they commonly leave in their wills £50 and several old silk hats. At night the shade of Macaulay hovers at tho liodluy Head end of the Albany and says strenuous words on limling that his old rooms are occupied now hy a publisher— words which fortunately thodlscrect, plain faced houso keepers cannot overhear. ‘ I think,” said Mr. Hubert Mepstcd to himself, with ono foot pressed hard against ] tho nmntelpiocu at No. (I M, “that I should like to seo iter just once again. | Only oDoe, mind! There aro one or two things X should like to say casually to her, just to show that I am quite contented as I am.” Tho youngest tenant in tho Albany sighed. Now, it is not usual for men who j brag of being contented to sigh “There's a popular impression,“ went , on Mr. Itohort Mepstcd argumentatively, [ “that a bachelor must be lonely. It is a most mistaken Impression. It is high j lime that the world recognized what a blunder this is. There is no moro prepos- ! torous”— Mr. Robert Mepstcd, turning round in | his easy chair to argue with an Imaginary opponent, stopped. In the doorway waMrs. Long, his housekeeper, with a can' oil a hross waiter—a squarish card, which Mrs. Long presented with an air of some reluctance. "Lady Westonfianger and Miss Westonhanger," road Mi pstod. Ho turned away, that Mrs. Long, whom ho feared, should not see I is face redden. “Are they—er—waiting, Mrs. Isingf” “1 have shown the ladies, sir," said Mrs. Long, trembling with tl») knowledge of having done the right tiling. ' into the sitting room, i-diall 1 tell them you arc not at home, sir:'" “I will come in there.” “Hoi” said Mrs. Isong disappointedly. Mepstcd stood for a moment at the door of the room. He wanted, above all things, to regain his self composure. He desired also to remember t he few sat irieal remarkthat he had proposed for this emergency. The sound of her voice within, arguing gently with her shrill voiced mother, sent the sarcasms—and they were uncommonly good sarcasms—effectually outof ids head. “My clear Mr. Mepstcd, I am so glad wc j found you In! Mary and 1 were in town, j and wo were making calls, and Mary sug- , gosted”— “Wo had not seen you for some time,’’j Intel rug. eti Mary Wustonhangcr hurriedly | “It’s loo good of you both to call," said j Robert Mepstcd. 1 fan i give you tea or something? 1 am rather awkward at playing host at present, but I shall get used to the game with practice. Some: bachelors 1 know manage very well.” “1 want.” said Lady Wcstenhanger, "to j call in at Bond street and see a jeweler ] man. So that I don’t think we’ll trouble ! you, Mr. Mcpsted.” “Do you want to go to Bond stroot, 1 Miss Westcnliunger '' “Not in lie least, Mr. Mepstcd. I don’t liko jewelry.” ■‘That’s a most outrageous remark te make,” said Lady Weston hunger, with sr- j verity. “I consider it almost impious. Every woman should"— “Then how w ould it he,” suggested Mr. ! Mepstcd genially, “for you, Lady Westen- ' hanger, to drive round to Bond street, for I you, Miss Westenhanger, to remain here, | and for my housekeeper to give us teoi ; I’ve been writing all the afternoon, and I want a cup. ” Tills was where Mary Westenhanger showed strategy worthy of a field marshal. "I think I had better go with mamma, ” she said mildly. “And I think,” said Lady Westcnhang er, with m verity, “that you will do nothing of tlie sort. You will remain here, Mary, until l return. Mr. Mepstcd is not like one who Isa new friend of tho family.” “Lady Westenhanger,'’ said Robert Mepstcd, “you are always right.” He prc'-cd the eleetrio knob and gave to Mrs. Long direct ions. “Let me see you to your carriage. Miss Westenhanger, can you find an illustrated paper to look at until I return?” “I don’t think I rare for art,” she said lliletly, “just now.” Mr. Hubert Mepstcd returned very quickly. Mary Westenhanger was looking, witli her hands clasped behind her, at a portrait of Ids mother, and when she turned there were tears in her eyes. “Tea already here?” lie exclaimed breezily. “Wind n capital manager Mrs. Long is I Will you pour out, Miss Westenhangert" “ I still possess a Christian inane," she remark ed us she obeyed. “Yoi haven't discarded everything, then?" Mr. Robert Mcpsted made a mental note of tho score. Ha reus in No. 1. "I wanted particularly to see you,” she said. She lifted her cup, but her hand trembled, and she replaced it on the table, where it was safe. "I’mafraid that 1 was very stupid and unrcnsonuhle when we met Inst.” “I don't like to contradict you,” ho said. “And I—well, I want to apologize, Robert. In a general way 1 can bear my mother pretty well, but on that day she had been more than usually trying.” “X don’t think we need say any more r.bout it, Mary.” “Do you really mean that?” sho asked quickly. “I mean that we need not trouble to

rake up old grievances. It is a species ot gardening tlmi I don't care for. All that we need do now is to see that we remain good friends for the future.” “Ami—and nothing more than friends?” “What more could we lie?” “Well,” said Mary Westenhanger, ertiniliilng the cake unnecessarily and making of it a carefully built pyramid, “you said once—you would he my husband." “And you said once that I should not.” “Only once,” she remarked nervously. “The number is small, but sufficient.” Roller! Mcpsted felt quite a glow of admiral ion at his unbending sternness. He was behaving with much more courage than he had ever credited himself with. "The fact of it is, Mary, life in the Albany, with pleasant rooms and plenty of work, is rather enjoyable. One has no cares, no trammels, and — “And no companion.” • “That fact,” said Robert Mcpsted, with an effort, “is Hie eonihle do joio.” Hlic rose from tho table and walked again to the p »rtrait. “She was t he kindest friend I ever had.” said Mary Westenhanger. “How good lids is of her!” “My mother,” said Robert Mcpsted, rising ami standing beside her, “was always good. She was the only person that know of our i ugagement.” ' I am glad that nobody else knew. We have been saved t he cougrat ulat ions of our friends. And X want to ask you something, Robert. There is no necessity for anybody ever to know, is there?” “No necessity at all. dear. X would rather keep it as a pleasant secret, to remember all my life. They were the brightest of days, those, and] shall never, never forget them.” “It is worth coming here,” she said impulsively, “to hear you say so. X should not have called If I had not believed that. And I thought that perhaps there might he more snob days in tho future.” “The stock is exhausted,” said Mr. Mepstcd decidedly. Him took very slowly a ring from her finger. It was a little reluctant to move, being a ring that studied appearuuoo and liked an effective background. “I did not send this back,” said Mary Westenhanger, “because I did not like to give it up, hut I believe that it is usual in these situations to do so.” “I have had little experience,” he said, “hut if timt is the rule let us make an exception. I would rather you kept it. It will be something to remind you of mo when—when wo aro older.” Mrs. Kong, looking in toseoif anything was wanted, noted with some disturbance that the two young people were standing rather closely together. .Mrs. Xjong cm zhed the cough of warning and withdrew, with an apology, “Will I July Westenluuigr he much longer?” said Mopsteil anxiously. Ho felt that ids reserve of sternness was giving out, and to listen to her quiet voice and to watch her eyes for many moments longer would he fatal. “Mamma u.-imlly has a good deal to say to shopkeepers, but she will be hack directly.” “And then v.e shall say goodby again, I suppose?” “Somehow, in spite of all this, I’m not sorry that I’ve called,” she said thought-

fully.

“It has been a great delight to me.” “I blamed myself for quarreling with you before, Robert, hut now that—now that this afternoon has happened, why, nobody can lilaine me.” “That’s true. However long I live I must always feel that my linchoJortiood is due to myself, and to no one else.” Sho looked round swiftly. “Are you going to bo a bachelor all your life, Robert?” “Why, yes, of course. I don’t want to marry anybody else—I mean to say, I’m comfortable enough as I am. And I dare say when wc’ro an years older we shall meet somewhere, and we shall decide that it's all hern tor the host. I, as a bachelor, you, as an old maid, will”— “I lieg ymir pardon.” “I say tin t you, as an old maid, will”— "I am afraitl that you are peering into the future, Robert, without your glasses. X shall marry.” The newspaper fell from his hand. “Hut—hut you said that you did not earn for any one else?” “I don't see how that affects the matter. I have a proposal In my pocket now. ” “Show it to me.” “If you say 'please,’ ” said Mary Westonhanger. And when Robert obeyed, she took from her Imilice a letter. “But this man is one of the most fearful liouiulcrs in town?” cried Robert Mcpstid distractedly. “You, of course, said no at once, dear?” “I thought it better to wait, Robert. It Is not wise to be Impetuous in these mat-

ters. ’ ’

“But surely, Mary, you would never dream” — He stopped, lieeauso his indignation half choked him. “I do, sometimes. I dreamed once that you and I were going to lie very happy together, but as that Is not likely to occur, why, an alternative course has to be adopted.” He took her band suddenly. “Mary, you mustn’t do this. I said I was happy, but that was all brag. I’m miserable without you, and I’m punishing myself more than I can bear. Let us see what we can do.” “Hadn’t we better put our heads together?” suggested Miss Westenhanger shyly. Mrs. Long explained the whole affair the following morning to a lady friend who managed the rooms of Colonel Dunkorlcy at No. 7 M. ‘1 oould see it all, Mrs. What-ls-lt, with alf an eye,” said Mrs. Isingdiscontentedly. “Ther’s him with the 'ump, as you may say, an a way of looking at his coffee Defore he drank it as though ho was, In a manner of speaking, lost in thought; there's her, a tall, good looking, cheerful girl, with tears in her eyes before she'd boon there five minutes, and there's her mother a-lrotting off to Bond street to ’aggie with a shopkeeper, and when my lady onmo hack and caught them kissing one another and had her tantrums, why, as 1 said to myself, What on earth Could you expect?' ” Tiie lady at No. 7 M said philosophically, as she frightened a kitten away with her brush, that human nature was much tho same, no matter what “spore” of life you come across it. “That’s all very well,” said Mrs. Long aggriuvudJy, "hut how about me? As likely as not I shall ave some cantankerous old military gent to look after now. What I think Is, people ought Pi 'ave more consideration, one for the other ” W. Pott Ridge in New Budget.
