CRACROFT'S BREACH OF PROMISE.

George Cracroft had been established for about two years as a partner in Hicks' brewery at Tubworth (where the celebrated Tubworth alee come from) when he wrq£e the following letter to his old nursery playfellow ana compantxtfQOt .,•' •. 'AISY: I am awfully glad to hear that you are coining down with Kate to our hunt bail next week. I write, iirst, for the purpose of telling you so secondly, in order to make a request in connection with your visit, which, I am afraid you may think rather impudent, but which I hope you will forgive when you hear all the circumstances.

KAR

You have heard me mention Minnie Jackman, the professional beauty of Tubworth. I am sure that you will not have misunderstood any references that I may have made to the young lady, because you know that I am not a marrying man. I regret to say, however, that a misunderstanding on this point has arisen down here. I must, I suppose, have given some ground for it, but I assure you that I was quite struck all of a heap when, a day or two sinoe, Papa J. called on me and inquired my intentions regarding his daughter. Whan I had recovered sufficient breath I, of course,.assured him that I had no intentions of any kind, whereupon he burst into a torrent of incoherent abuse, declaring that I bad trifled with an innocent girl's affections, deserved horsewhipping, and so on. In this extremity, Daisy, I am sorry to say that I dissembled. For want of anything better to urge in self-defense, and in order to convince the old boy that it was no use bullying me, I told him that I had never expected that any little attention I might have paid to Miss J. would be misunderstood, since I waa enJtagtd already, and had always believed

iunished.1^a^" J.^as aitenoed fbf wui moment, but of qourse he went away and told everytlody. As the result, I have had all Tubworth congratulating me, and inquiring the lady's name. Mrs. Hicks has, of course, been more troublesome than anyone, and last night after nhe had nearly badgered my life out, I told her, in despair, that you were the lucky damsel. For the moment I quite forgot that you were coming down here with Kate next week. Now that I have remembered it, I see only two alternatives. The iirst is to confess the deception to Mrs. H., in which case I am sure that I shall have to tell her, which means telling all Tubworth, how I deceived old Jackman. The seoond is to persuade you to help me through the mess by coming down in the character of my "intended." Will you do it? It is an impudent thing to suggest, I know. I wouldn't suggest it, if I did not see myself in the other alternative, drifting into a marriage with the fair Minnie, which I am sure no true friend would desire for me. However, I won't press it against your will. Do what you like, but forgive me for taking such liberties with your name, and believe me, yours ever, GEORGE CRACROFT.

An impudent suggestion it certainly was, but George and Daisy had always been such fast friends that the impudence of it did not strike Miss Lightfoot very forcibly. On the contrary, being a lively young lBdy, with a keen sense of fun, she took the idea rather kindly. "It would be fun," she said to herself, laughing as she glanced over the letter again. "I must go and talk to Kate about it"

Now if there was one person who ought to have warned Miss Lightfoot of the imprudence of any such frolic, that person was Miss Kate Cracroft, in whoee house Daisy had received the letter. Not only was Miss Cracroft old enough to have stood almost in loco parentis to Daisy ever since the girl had been left motherless ten years before, but she was herself looked up to by all her friends as a model of prudence and circumBpeotion.

Unfortunately, however, a real engagement between George and Daisy was the one thing which Kate had been hoping to see ever Bince the pair had reached a marriageable age, and the wild scheme which they had now got into their heads presented itself to her aa a most likely Btep toward the result for which she was looking. Besides this, Miss Cracroft knew her brother to be a desperate flirt and quite irresponsible for his actions when there was a good looking girl in the oa*. This made her seriously alarmed at what the read between the lines of George's letter, and extremely anxious to see him safely extricated from the Jackman entanglement. Accordingly, her opposition to George'a Bcheme was of a very hollow kind, and the impetuous Miss Lightfoot soon blew .. it to the winds.

In this way it came about that Miss Daisy Lightfoot arrived at Tubworth in the character of George Cracroft's intended wife. She and Miss Cracroft -stayed with Mrs. Hicks, the wife of IGeorge's partner and not Mrs. Hicke alone, but all her friends who had an opportunity of observing it, were agreeably struck at the evidenoe of mutual attachment afforded by the behavior of George and his sweetheart. George fetched and carried for the young lady in the approved fashion, dangled at her heels, ana gazed at her with a fatuous expression when he thought anyone waa wathcing him. The pair were observed to squeeze one another's hands at every opportunity, and were perpetually whie--pering in corners and behind doors. Al

together, the porformoooe waa kept op with wonderful spirit until the hunt ball, when it waa interrupted by a contretempte of a moat embarrassing character-

The dance waa in fall awing when Mi— Lightfoot and her supposed lover ra»m«t up hurriedly to where Miag Cracroft happened to be sitting tor moment by herself. "Kate," said Daisy, with anxiety on her face and dismay in her voioe, "what am I to do? Uncle Dick ia here. He has come over by accident with some friends, and has just been congratulating George and me on our engagement." "Good gracious, how unfortunate!" exclaimed Kate. "And what did you say?" "For the first time on record I did not know what to say. Of course, he put down my silence to maiden baahfulness. But what is to be done? He will be sending off his congratulations to papa by the first poet." "Can't we take him into our confidence now?" suggested Kate. "You don't know Uuncle Dick, replied Daisy. "He would be horribly shocked if he knew the truth and would think it his duty to tell papa at once, which would make matters worse than ever." ,.

The three conspirators meditated in silence for a time, and then it was agreed, on the suggeetion of Cracroft, that Daisy should explain to her uncle that the engagement was a secret for the present, and Antreat him to leave her to choose her own time for disclosing it to her father netiW"e»y, however, to find an opportunity for a confidential communication of thia kind at a public ball. Before Miss Lightfoot found the opportunity her uncle had left. As the next beat course, she went home and wrote an irresistible little note, imploring her uncle to secrecy, and George took it to the poet before he went to bed. But again fate was\unkind. Before the letter reached him, Uncle Dick had, or pretended he had, posted of his congratulations to Mr. Lightfoot, and the mischief was done.

The result was

Boon

apparent at Tub-

worth. In the course of a few hours a peremptory telegram frftm her father summoned Miss Lightfoot home. Mies Cracroft accompanied her back to London. On the following morning this epistle reached George Cracroft:

DEAR SIR: I am utterly astonished at the information which I have just received from my brother. That you should not merely have persuaded my daughter to engage herself to you behind my back, but actually introduce her publicly as your future wife, without even a reference to me, seems to me apiece of unparalleled impertinence. It astonishes me the more, inasmuch as I had no idea that you could consider yourself in a position to keep a wife.

However, I will not waste time in recrimination. I presume that you have some intention of consulting me in this matter sooner or later, and I will wait to hear what you have to say on the subject. Yours faithfully,

HAROLD LIGHTFOOT.

"Great Scott!" exclaimed Cracroft, as he finished the letter. "This is worse than Papa Jackman! I must go and see Kate about it."

He started for town accordingly as soon as he could make the necessary arrangements. He spent the journey chiefly in meditating upon Mr. Lightfoot's letter. He had got Daisy into a very embarrassing position—that was clear. The Tabworth escapade on# 6utaids v'fcBie# the truth, but if the facts came to be known and talked about Daisy's name would be seriously compromised. That George saw clearly. He saw, too, that Daisy's father would look &t it in th6 same light. What waa his duty under

circumstances?

le was

very fond of Daisy, if only in a brotherly sort of way. If her father insisted, and she consented, how could he refuse •to marry her?

He hinted as much to his sister, as he handed her Mr. Lightfoot's letter. "No, George, I am sorry to say that it won't do at all," said Kate, rather ruefully, for she would gladly have given a different answer. "And why?" asked George, in some surprise. "It is rather a long story, but I will explain as briefly as I can. In the first place, Daisy has no desire to marry you wouldn't do so at any price." "Oh, thank you!" interjected George. "And why wouldn't she?" "Because, my dear boy, she hae the bad taste to prefer somebody else." "Hillyard?" suggested George, after a moment's pause. "Yes, Frank Hillyard. The fact is that she as good as accepted him twelve months ago but, as you know, he has hardly a penny to bleee himself with— you are a millionaire by comparison— and Mr. Lightfoot peremptorily vetoed the engagement and forbade Frank the houee. Daisy, however, will not give him up. They have met from time to time since, and it is understood between them that she is to wait until he has made enough to keep her." "Artful little minx! She never gave me a hint of this," said Cracroft. "Why should she! Now, having grasped that fact, George, just see what follows. On her return to town Daisy at once explained to her father the truth about this Tubworth folly. He raged and stormed—you know what a violent, overbearing brute he oan make himself when he chooses. He abused Daisy for having, as he said, disgraced herself and forfeited her character, and you for leading her into it. He next

make you marry here, or punish you as you deserved and finally he forbade her ever to disclose to any person living that her pretended engagement to you was not genuine. She hsa been here this morning. Her father's anger and violence have evidently upset her neatly, and she was quite hysterical. She im-

me to save her, first from besng riven into a marriage with you secondly, from exposure of the truth about the supposed engagement. Of course I told her that I would do my best, and now it rests with you to help me." "O, certainly," reeponded the amiable George. "But if she won't let me marry her, I don't quite see what I am to do."

will tell you. Daisy is too much afraid of her father to refuse to marry you—or, at any rates to stand out for long if he insists on it. But you can refuse to marry her, and you must write at onoe and do so. You had better say as little as possible, and after that you must, of course, keep abeolute silence about the Tubworth affair."

Miss Cracroft sat down then and there and dictated the letter to Mr. Lightfoot The letter merely atated that George regretted that his intentions should have been misunderstood, and that he was, unfortunately, not in a position even to think of marrying Miss Lightfoot Having copied the document faithfully and committed it to the poet, George went to bed and returned next day to his brewing.

Although he had implicit confidence in hia stater's judgment, he felt a dismal presentiment that Mr. Lightfoot had not

ioilvitli hinyet. Within two or thne pasts hewas gneably surprised by reosiving a letter signed Wylie, Hawke & Jiafc? intimafcing that that eminent firm had been oonaulted by Mr,'Harold Lightfoot on behalf of hia daughter, and that Ulan within a week Mr. Careroft nified hia intention to fu the promise of marrii he had undoubtedly given to thatyounj lady, tbey (W, E J.) ware inetruotei to oommenoejroossrtings for breach of said promise without further delay. Miss Cracroft, to whom, of course,.-George at once turned for advice, was inflexible in her view that do ty to Daisy required her brother to stand firm, even to tbe length of admitting the promiaa, if neosesi George stood firm accordingly, and at the expiration of a week he waa served with a writ in an action of Lightfoot vs. Cracroft

It ia now necessary to observe how the situation presented itself to Mr. Lightfoot

In the first instance thia amiable old gentleman had been chiefly actuated by the desire of forcing on a marriage between his daughter and Cracroft and ao forver outing the obnoxious Mr. Hillyard. Although he bad professed to doubt Cracroft's means, the old gentleman knew him to be possssssd of a comfortable little income betidea hia share io the brewery. Failing thia primary, result, his kindly desire waa to puniah Cracroft by a heavy lawauit and damages for the Tubworth indiscretion, and at the aame time dispose of .poor Daisy's connection with that busineas, of the gravity of which he entertained a rather exaggerated notion. He, therefore, ordered the actiou to be pressed on to the bitter end with all speed.

As the trial drew near, however, an unexpected difficulty presented itself. The father had hitherto counted upon his influence over Daigy to overcome any .reluctance which the young lady might •evince to giving evidence in the witness box against Cracroft About three weeks, however, before the time at which the trial was expected to come on, Daisy suddenly disappeared. She left a letter behind her in which she stated (1) that her life had become a misery to her (2) that she could never love or marry any man but Mr. Frank Hillyard (3) that no consideration should induce her to give evidence against Cracroft in the breach of promise case on the contrary, if the oase were tried, she would come forward, ehe said, if necessary, on Cracroft's behalf and swear that he had never promised to marry her.

This was a staggerer for Mr. Lightfoot and the effect of it was increased when he- discovered that his rebellious daughter had taken refuge at Misa Cracroft's. As soon as he had mastered his wrath the old gentleman called on Wylie, Hawke & Jinks and laid the situation before them. It was small oomfort, that he got there. The idea of a breach of promise case without the plaintiff, or with the plaintiff figuring as a witness for the defendant was, in the opinion of this intelligent firm, preposterous. They advised point blank that the action should be settled.

Mr. Carcroft's solicitor, however, on being communicated with, perceived that hia client was now maater of the situation. He therefore declined any compromise, except on the terms of Mr. Lightfoot paying all the costs. Thsse were now considerable. It was a bitter pill to the old gentleman to pay down a ieavy sum in addition to owning himself beaten all around. Waa there no ilfjn whinh.ha nqnl was turningpjw .tbis tion in hia mind, he happened to hi the death of Mr. Frank Hillyard's father, an event which he knew would mean an addition of two hundred or three hundred pounds a year to the income of Daisy's suitor. This piece of news sugreeted to him away out of his difficulty. 9e had played off Cracroft against Hillrard why should he not now playoff lillyard against Cracroft? With thia admirable ides, he dispatched a conciliatory note to Daisy, with one or two hints in it, which had the effect of bringing that young lady back to the parental roof within a few hours. Sim»ManeousJy with this, the old gentleman had written a diplomatic note to Hillyard, in answer to which that gentleman also quickly presented himself in person. The lovers were summoned together into the father's presence to hear hia proposals.

Mr. Lightfoot's scheme Was ttils: Daisy was to co-operate loyally in carrying on the breach-of-promise action and to give her evidence at the trial if rieceasary. On his sids Mr. Lightfoot would, after the trial, give his consent to a marriage between hiB daughter and Frank Hillyard, and would hand over to Daisy a sum equal to whatever damages might be awarded her in the action, provided no further demands were made upon him in connection with the marriage. "For instance," he said, "if you get £500, I will make it up to £1,000. If you get £1,000, I will make it up to £2,000. I hope vou may." The good gentleman did not add that hia solicitors were of opinion that the plaintiff would be lucky if Bhe got £100, and was not likely to get more than half that sum. Nor did he express what waa really in his mind—namely, that his daughter would thus have every inducement to make the case look as bad as possible for the defendant "But is this quite fair to Cracroft, sir?" hazarded Hillyard. "Why not? Shouldn't we make him ay as much as we can?" returned Mr. lightfoot. "At any rate if you do not approve of it, you need not take the money." "I should like a little time to think it over," replied Hillyard. "I will give you till this time to-mor-row," said the old gentleman, rather shortly "but underetand that if you decline this, you will get nothing more out of me."

Whether or not thia hint influenced him, it is impossible to tell but at the expiration of twenty-four hours Mr.Hillyard had overcome hia scruples, and intimated that he and Daisy were content to fall in with Mr. Lightfoot's proposal. The old gentlemon was visibly elated at thia announcement, for he felt that he now stood to win in any event

He remained under this impression for two or three daya,when hia views were somewhat modified by the receipt of the following letter:

Keuimler Willing to Try the Battery— H« Writes Song. The central figure among condemned criminals now is William Kemmler, the Philadelphian, whose execution by electricity in New York atate will mark the beginning of anew era in capital puniahment, saya the Philadelphia Record. Prison authoritiea expect that thia execution will decide for the present either the failure or succeeaofthe lightning stroke aa a substitute for tbe time-hon-ored institution of hanging. It ia not unlikely, however, that the exeoution will be delayed beyond the week beginning June 24, the time named in the death warrant, as Kemmler's council is making vigoroua efforts to oontest the sentence on the ground that it ia cruel and unusual punishment The condemned man himself, however, doea not aharo this jloomy view of the case. So much haa been told him about the novelty of electric execution that his curiosity haa evidently been arouaed, and hia demeanor ia not unlike that of a peraon anxious to try an experiment When asked recently by an official of the Buffalo priaon if he nad a preference aa to the manner of hia death Kemmler replied: "Eltc-
