Why, the fact is," said Leander, whose professional susceptibilities were now aroused. “ I am essentially an artist. When I look around I see that Nature, out of its bounty, has supplied me with a choice selection of patterns to follow, and I produce them as faithful as lies within my abilities. You may call it a fine thing to take a blank canvas and represent the luxurious tresses and the blooming hue of health upon it, and so do I; hut 1 call it a still higher and nobler act to produce a similar effect upon the human Yd!” “Isn't that a pretty speech for a young man like him—only twenty-seven — Mrs. Colluin!” exclaimed his admiring
aunt.
“You see, mamma, dear,” pleaded Matilda, who saw that her parent remained unaffected, “it isn't as if Leander was in poor papa's profession.” “ I hope,Matilda, ” said the lady,sharply, “you are not going to pain me again by mentioning this young man and your departed father in the same breath,
because 1 cannot bear it."
“The old lady,” commented Leander here, “don't seem to take to me!
along with?"
Pella's expression changed to something blacker still. “No,” she said, fixing her eyes on the still uneonscious Leander. “1 made sure that Mr. Tweildle was courting a young lady, but— but—well, this is a surprise, Mr. Tweddle! You never told us of this when last we met. 1 shall have news for
somebody!”
“<>h,but it's only been arranged within the last month or two!” said Miss
Tweddle.
“Considering we met so lately he | might have done us the compliment of | mentioning it. I must say," said Pella. [ “ — 1 thought you knew,” stammered the hairdresser. “ 1 told ” “ No. you didn't, excuse me; oh, no, j you didn't, or some tilings would have happened differently!

“When did you meet one another,and where was it, Miss Parkinson?” inquired ‘ Matilda,rather to include herself in the conversation than from any devouring

lum.
“I—I hadn’t time this morning,” said the unregenerate Leander, “hut I do occasionally cast a eye over it before I get up." Mrs. Oollum groaned ami looked at her daughter reproachfully. “I see by the Weekly News,” said Jauncy, “you've had a burglary in your neighborhood. Leander let the carving-knife slip. “A burglary? What! in mv neighborhood? When?” “Well, p'r’aps not a burglary; hut a capture of two that were ’wanted’ for it. It's all in to-day's News.” “I—I haven't seen a paper for the last two days,” said Leander, his heart heating with hope; “tell us about it.” “ Why, it isn't much to tell; but it seems that last Friday night or early on Saturday morning the constable on duty came upon two suspicious-looking chaps, propped up insensible against the railings in Queen Square, covered with blood and unable to account for themselves. Whether they'd been trying to break in somewhere and been beaten off, or had quarrelled, or met with some accident, doesn't seem to he known for certain. Put, any way,they were arrested for loitering at night with house-breaking things about them, and, whi n they were got to the station, recognized as the men ‘wanted’ for shooting a policeman down at Walham Liven some time hack, and, if it is proved against them, they'll be hung, for certain.” “What arc they called? Did rt say?” asked Leander, eagerly. “1 forget one—something like Bradawl. 1 believe; the other had a lot of aliases, but lie was best known as the ‘Count,’ from having lived a good deal

“Propit. Pella. Do you hear? that's enough,” growled Jauncy. Leander sat silent; he did not attempt again to turn the conversation: he knew lietter. Matilda seemed perfectly calm, and certainly showed no surface curiosity; but he feared that her mother intended to require explanations. Miss Tweddle came in here with the original remark that winter had begun now in good earnest. “Yes," said Pella; “why, as we came along,there wasn't hardly a leaf on the trees in the squares; and yet only yesterday week, at the gardens, the trees hadn’t begun to shed. Had they, Mr. Tweddle? Oh! hut I forgot; you were so taken up with paying attention to Ada—(Well, James! 1 suppose 1 can make a remark!)" “i’ll never take you out again if you don't hold that tongue,” he whispered
savagely.
Mrs. Collum fixed her eyes on Leander. as he sat cowering on her right. “Leander Tweddle,” she said, in a hissing whisper, “ what is that young person talking about? Who— who is this ‘Ada?’ I insist upon being told!” “If you want to know ask her,” he retorted desperately. All this hy-play passed unnoticed by Miss Tweddle, who was probably too full of the cares of hostess to pay any attention to it; and accordingly she judged the pause that followed the fitting opportunity for a little speech. “Mrs. Collum, ma'am,” she began.

it’s no use you asking her,’ I said. And 1 quite scolded myself for ever bringing them together!” Mrs. Collum seemed inclined to follow suit, but she restrained herself. “Ah, well!" she observed, “my daughter has chosen to take her own way without consulting my prejudices. All I hops is, that stie may never repent it!" “Very handsomely said, ma'am,” chimed in Miss Tweddle; “and if 1 know mv nephew, repent it she never
will!”
Leander was looking rather miserable: but Matilda put out her hand to him behind his aunt's back, and their eyes and hands met, and he was happy
again.
“You must be wanting your dinner, Mrs. Collum.” his aunt proceeded, “and we are only waiting for another lady and gentleman to make up the party. 1 don’t know what's made them so behind hand, I'm sure. He’s a very pleasant young man, and punctual to the second when he lodged with me. I happened to run across him up by Chancery Lane the other evening, and he said to me, in his funny way, ‘I've been and gone and done it, Miss Tweddle, since 1 saw you. I'm a happy man; and I'm thinking of bringing my young lady soon to introduce to you.’ So 1 asked them to come and take a hit of dinner with me to-day,and I told him 2 o'clock sharp, I’m sure. Ah! there they are at last. That’s Mr. Jauney’s knock,among a thousand!" Leander started. “Aunt!” he cried, “you haven’t asked Jauncy here to-
day?"
“Yes, I did, Leandy. 1 knew you used to be friends when you were together here, and I thought how nice it would be for both your young ladies to make each other's acquaintance; but 1 didn't tell him any tiling. I meant L^for a surprise!” And she bustled out to receive- tier guests, leaving Leander speechless. What if the new-comers were to make some incautious reference to that pleasure party on Saturday week? Could he drop them a warning hint? “ Don’t you like this Mr. Jauncy/Leander?" whispered Matilda, who had observed ids ghastly expression. “1 like him well enough.” he returned, ivii'u an eiV-uT. out I d rather we hud no third parties. 1 must say." Here Mr. Jauncy came in alone. Miss Tweddle having retired to assist the lady to take off her bonnet. Leander went to meet him. “James,” he said in an agitated whisper, “have you brought Pella?” Jauncy nodded. “ We were talking of you as we came along," lie said in the satne tone, “and I advise you to look out.—she’s got her quills up, old chap. ” “What about?” murmured Leander. Mr. jauncy's grin was wider and more npnreciative than ever as he re-

And so he’s not even mentioned it to you, Miss Collum? Dear me, I wonder what reasons he had for that, now!” “There's nothing to wonder at,” said Leander; “my memory dues play me
tricks of that sort.”
“Ah! if it was only you it played tricks on! There's Miss Collum dying to know what it's all about. I can see!” “Indeed. Miss Parkinson. I'm nothing of the sort,” retorted Matilda proudly. Privately her reflection was: “She'sgot a lovely gown on. but she's a common girl, for all that; and she's trying to set me against Leander for some reason,
ami she sha’n't do it!”
“Well," said Pella,“you're a fortunate man. Mr. Tweddle, that you are, in every way. I'm afraid 1 so easy with my James.”
“There's no need for about it," her James
aren't!"
“I hope I haven't as much cause, though," he retorted. Leander listened to her malicious innuendo with a bewildered agony. Why on earth was she making this dead set at him? She was amiable enough on Saturday week. It never occurred to her that his conduct to her sistt r could account for it. for had he not told Ada straightforwardly how he was situ-
ated?
Fortunately dinner was announced to he ready just then, and Pella was silenced for the moment in the genera) movement to the next room. Leander took in Matilda's mamma, who had been studiously abstracting herself from all surrounding objects for the last few minutes. “That Pella is a downright basilisk, ” he thought as he led the way. “Lord, how I do wish dinner was done!”
Leander's spirits rose in spite of his prosent anxieties. He had been going in fear and dread of the revenge of these ruffians, and they were safely locked up; they could trouble him no more! Small wonder, then, that his security in tliis respect made him better able to cope with minor dangers; and Pella's animosity seemed lulled, too—at least, she had not opened her mouth, except for food, since she sat down. hi his expansion he gave himself the airs of a host. “I hope,” he said, “I've served you all to your likings? MNss Parkinson, you're not getting on; allow me to offer you a little more pork?” “Thank you, Mr. Tweddle,” said the implacable Pella, “but l won't trouble you. 1 haven't an appetite to-day—like 1 had at those gardens!” There was a challenge in this answer

“we drink and reciprocate.” Leander was saved for the

CHAPTKR XL
DENOUNCED.
“There’* a new foot on the floor, my frlrrsi; And a new face st the dour, my friend;
A new face at the door.' Leander sat at the head of the table as carver,having Mrs. Collum and Pella on his left, and James and Matilda opposite to them. James was the first to open conversation, by the remark to Mrs. Colluin, across the table, that they were “hav-
- «
ing another dull Sunday.
“That," rejoined the uncompromising lady, “seems to me a highly improper
remark, sir.”
“ My friend Jauncy,” explained Leander, in defense of his abashed companion, “was not alluding to present company,Pm Mire He meant the dullness outside—the fog, and so on." “I knew it,” she said; “and 1 repeat that it is improper and irreverent to spealt of a dull Sunday in that tone of complaint. Haven’t we all the week to
be lively in?”
“And I’m sure, ma’am,” said Jauncy,
—not only to him, but to general curiosity—which, to her evident disappointment, was not taken up. Leander turned to Jauncy. “I—I suppose you had no trouble in Unding your way here?” he said. “No,” said Jauncy, “not more than usual; the streets were pretty full, and that makes it harder to get along. ” “We met such quantities of soldiers!" put in Pella. “Do you remember those two soldiers at Kosherwich, Mr. Tweddle? How funny they did look dancing.didn’t they? Put 1 suppose I inusn't say anything about the dancing here, must 1?” “Since," said the poor badgered man, “you put it to me, Miss Parkinson, I must say that, considering the day, you know—” “ Yes, ” continued Mrs. Folium.severely; “surely there are better topics for the Sabbath than — than a dancing soldier!” “Mr. Tw. ddlc knows why I stopped myself,” said Bella. “Put there, I won't tell of you—not now, at all events; sc don’t look like that at me!" “There, Pella, that’ll do,” said her fiance, suddenly awakening to the fact that she was trying to make herself disagreeable, and perhaps feeling slightly ashamed of her. “James! I know what to say and what to leave unsaid without tellings from you; thanks all the same. You needn’t fear my saying a word about Mr. Tweddle and Ada—la, now, if I

and the dinner passed without further incident. Put his aunt's vein of sentiment had been opened and could not he stanched all at once; for when the cloth was removed, and the decanters and dishes of oranges placed upon the table, she gave a little preparatory cough and
began again.
“ I'm sure it isn't my wish to lie ceremonial,” she said, “hut we’re all among friends (for I should like to look upon you as a friend, if you'll let me,” she added rather dubiously, to Bella). “ And I don’t really think there could be a better occasion for a sort of little ceremony that I’ve set my heart on Leandy, you know what 1 mean, and you’ve got it with you, I know, tiecause you were told to bring it with you.” “Miss Tweddle.” interrupted Matilda, hurriedly, “not now. I—1 don't think Vidler has sent it back yet. I told you,
you know—”
“That's all j’ou know about it, young
lady, ” she said, archly; “for I stopped in theAj yesterday and asked him about it, to make sure; and he told me it was delivered ever the very Saturday
afternoon before. So, Leandy
me for once, and put it on the dear girl's finger before us all; you needn’t be bashful with us, I'm sure, either of
you. ”
“What is all this?" asked Mrs. Col-
lum.
“Why, it's a ring, Mrs. Folium, ma’am, that belonged to my own dear aunt, though she never wore it; and her grandfather had the posy engraved on the inside of it. And I remember ! her telling me, before she was taken, | that she’d left it to me in her will, but I wasn’t to let it go out of the family. So I gave it to Leandy, to be his en- J gagement ring; but it had to be altered, ! because it was ever so much too large
as it was. ”
“I always thought,” said Mrs. Colluin, “that it was the gentleman's duty
to provide the ring.”
“So Leandy wanted to: but I said: ‘You can pay for the altering; but I'm fanciful about this, and I want to see j dearest Miss Collum with my aunt's ]
ring on.”’
“Oh, but, Miss Tweddle, can’t you! see?” said Matilda, “lie’s forgotten it; ] don’t—don't tease him about it.

not have forgotten it!”
“No,” he said, “I've not forgotten it; ! hut hut I haven't it about me, and I ' don’t know as I could lay my hand on it, just at present, and that's the I
