I “Very glad to hoar It. Miss Joscelyn la far too charming a person to be subjected to the revolting ills of poverty.

“Oh, let me do that. Why do you trouble? Isn't the room hot enough?” "Grannie will be down soon, and she

“Not just yet. 1 hope. Somehow or other I never seem to get a moment alone with you, Mona. I was glad to see the back of Lisle, though he is a capital fellow. I don’t know that I like any fellow better; but I was dying to tell you how happy you made me just now when I came In; you really looked as if you were glad to see me. If I thought you were going to be fond of me, even half as fond of me as I am of you, why, I should be almost off
my head with joy.”
“You are too good to me,” she returned, sadly, for his words and tone touched her. ”1 know,” he went on. “that yon do not care much for me now, but 1 begin to hope you will. Give me your hand; how long and slender it is! You could not do much with it Mona. Why do you draw it away? Halloo! your ring has slipped off! I don’t like that. Let me put it on again.

Having inquired tenderly for Mrs. Newburgh, Lisle said, in a soft tone— “I presume, from wlmt Sir Robert Evertrd told me, I may venture to offer my very dneere congratulations on your ai>prouchlng marriage with my good friend
U-slie."
“Tnank you very much,” returned Mona,
with sweet gravity.
There was a pause—mercifully broken by Mme. Debrisay, who, with a marked
French accent, observed—

—compelled herself to turn her pale, fair
face to him.
Clasping her hand in both his own, Waring bent down and pressed his lips lingeringly on hers. He scarcely dared to embrace her. His frame trembled; his eyes
were moist.
“Bay ‘I.ieslie, I will try to love you,’ ” he
whispered.
"I will try—I will indeed. Leslie,” she repented. “I have been so uneasy and unhappy about poor grannie; and I never thought of marrying so soon;and altogether I have been shaken and nervous—so you
must forgive me if I seem stupid!”
“Stupid! You stupid! What an idea!” Meanwhile Lisle walked down the street In anything but pleasant self commune. “I certainly troubled myself unnecessarily alxmt my charming young friend. She lias thrown me over easily enough; she must think me a soft idiot to have troubled myself advising or directing her. Were 1 to remain In town, I might teach MrsIjeslie Waring that l was no foolish stripling, to be tossed aside with Indifference and Impunity when fate offered her fairer fortune! She knows that it cost me a had quarter of an hour to give her up for her own good. Who can calculate on the strange variations of feminine nature?” So argued Lisle, with the degree of logic usual in m m whose vanity has been wounded. He was quite willing that Mona should be taken out of his way, but lief should have liked to see her weeping—'i broken-hearted at the loss of his fascinat-( ing self. Yet, although horribly Irritated, he probably never longed more passionately to be in Waring’* place—always provided the engagement, marriage, what you
will, was not to be permanent.
The period of engagement was by no means as blissful as Waring anticipated. Mona, though pleasant and complaisant, was cold—colder than she knew—and Waring was sometimes tempted to ask her if tlie sacrifice to which she had consented was too cruel. Then some strain of compassion would steal over her heart.
mourned the thoughtful—if tyrannical protectress, to whom misfortune had linked
her so closely.
“Well, dear, you may rest assured that the near prospect of your marriage soothed and brightened her last hours; ami it is a great comfort to know she was in a happy frame of mind. Sir Robert lias sent round to Mr. Waring. He will be here immediately, no doubt, and will be your best sup-
port.”
”Oh! no, no! You are liest. You knew poor dear grannie so well, and she was so
fond of ton.”
••ivar old Lady! or course, at such painful crisis, old friends count for a great deal. 1 think, dear, you must come hack with me to Charles street. I cannot leave
you here alone.”
“No, Lady Mary, I will not leave the house while poor grannie lies helpless here. I feel bound to keep by her to the last.” A message from Sir Robert brought Waring ns fast as a well-paid driver could urge his horse. Mona was not in ttie draw-ing-room when he reached it, and he was somewhat discomfited when Lady Mary came and explained that Mona was too much overcome to see him—that she was
in her own room.
“But she will see me presently, will she not?” he asked, appealingly. “1 thought It might be a comfort to her to talk to me.” "No doubt it will be. At this moment she is terribly np-set.” It was not till considerably later—after

“Those concerned in affairs of this kind are usually considered angels all around,” said Lisle, cynically. “In this case, I only feel inclined to believe in the angelic qual Ities of one. May I hope to have the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Newhurgh?” ’She rarely comes down till past three. I will let her know you are here; you were always a favorite of hers. Mona rang, and sent a message to Mrs. Newburgh to that effect; then Mine. Delirisay began to make tier adieu. I ought not to take up any more of your
time, chcrle.”
’Pray do not go away yet,” cried Mona, with suspicious eagerness. “She does not want to tie alone with me,” thought Lisle. “Why does not that horrid woman go? She must know she is in
the way.”
“Indeed, dear, I have one or two things to do before I go home, for next week I shall be in harness again; but I will tie with you by ten o’clock to-morrow. Notli ing like the early hours for shopping; and make my compliments to “Mr. Waring,” announced Wehner, and Waring entered, with an eager, not to say anxious, expression, as if not too certain how lie would be received. Mine. Debrisay, who was near the door, made him a respectful courtesy, and lie greeted her first. “How do you do, madatne? Not going, I hope, because I have come in?” Here he paused, for Mona turned to him with a kind, welcoming smile «o much the sweetest she had ever bestowed on him, tiiat he grew positively radiant, and evidently forgot there was any one else
present.
“1 think grannie would like to see yoq,” said Mona, following Mme. Debrisay. “Excuse mo for a moment,” looking back to her visitors. “Oil, why do you go, Deb?
I dread these tctc-a-tcte interviews.” “But Captain Lisle is a third, dear.” “Oh, he will go away directly.”
“Ah! my child, don’t give way to these whims. Sure you’ll have to pass your whole life tete-a-tete with him; aud he is good—real, downright good. Make much of him. Go lutck now, and I’ll not fail to
lie with you to-morrow at ten.”
At the other side of the door, Lisle was congratulating Waring in the frankest and
most cordial manner.

Did you speak to Mrs. Newburgh?”
Waring and Sir Robert had arranged the details of tlie funeral, and all that appertained to it—that Mona was induced to see her affianced husband. Mona was ready enough to speak of her sorrow. She was gently grateful for his sympathy, but she would not sit beside him, her head on his shoulder, and Ills arm round her, nor did she permit a course of consolation compounded of whispers, kisses and assurances that the whisperer would lie brother and sister and grandmother and everything to her. She was so dazed and overwhelmed that Waring was gravely uneasy about her, and it was an immense relief to him to know that Mme. Debrisay (who had heard of the sad svent in some occult manner) was in the house, and would spend tlie night with her
favorite pupil.

Mrs. Newburgh’s eyes were open when her granddaughter approached; she smiled kindly and faintly. When Mona asked her if she would like to get up, she smiled a peculiar dreamy, kiud of smile, aud mur-
Established custom governs all things— the deepest grief—the wildest joy. Tlie dreary days—which lingered yet went so swiftly—sped on, and poor Mrs. Newburgh was laid in her grave. Her will, leaving all she possessed to Mona, was duly read— her few jewels and personalities packed up. The former went with Mona to Har-
rowliy Chase.
Mona took cold on her Journey, and for a fortnight was very unwell—so feverish, in fact, as to wander in her speech, and to cause her kind hosts a good deal of anxiety. She was utterly lonely. She had nonear relative. Tlie Kverards were more closely allied by friendship than by blond to Mrs. Newburgh. She had heard of many other cousins in her grundmotiter’s life-time, but
she felt they did not count.
Pondering these tilings, she grew affrighted ut the stern aspect of the world she was going to face, for, as she collected her faculties and studied her circumstances. she grew more and more averse to fulfill her engagement with Leslie Waring. The great mot ivo wits gone, and un irresistible longing for freedom, however poverty stricken, seized her. The idea ol 8<i close a union with a mere good-natured sportsman, who in no way touched her imagination, whose offensive affection wearied her, whose personal appearance was unpleasant i > her eyes, became infinitely repugnant as site dwelt uihui it. It was hardly fair to him either to let him plunge into tlie irrevocable In ignorance ol 1 her aversion. Better let him bear a tern-' porary pang now than incur the misery long drawn out of an ill-assorted, unsym-
pathetic marriage.
Her resolution to break with him grew rapidly stronger almost before she wat; aware she iiad formed it. Then she began to see that she was enjoying Lady Mary’i kind hospitality under false pretenses. She did not for a moment doubt that her refusal to marry Waring would bring down, if not a storm of wrath—for Lady Mary and her family were far too
