TJILDETIOY made a brief .-.noloirv to his sister for be in;; po late, and sat down to dinner; throughout it he was silent and abstracted. "When the co!Fee had been brought and the servants had withdrawn, ho said abruptly, as ho walked up and down the room: "You say a woman is wanted in this house. Well, I havo seen one whom I shall marry." "Good heavens!" cried Lady Sunbury, as she rose from her chair in the intensity of her amazement. "At least, she is a child," he added. "A child! I suppose you mean pome -iest. I am so stupid that I cannot guess the point of it." ""o; I aai not joking at all. I havo seen a perfectly beautiful person whom I am disposed to marry. I imaeine 1 that you would be pleased," replied Guilderoy, which showed that, despite his experience in women, he knew but little of their characters. "Good heavens!" cried Lady Sunbury ain. , "Is it a turf-cutter's daughter, or one of tlrtj gypsies?" "No; it is neither. Do not alarm you rEelf. he is the daughter of John Vernon, a very noble gentleman who has been living here ten years without my knowing it." "As you never take the trouble to visit your neighbors " "I shall visit one neighbor to-morrow and take you with me." "Good heavens!" said Lady Sunbury a third time. "You actually epeak as if you were serious!" "I am quite serious." lie proceeded to tell her the story of the fox-cub and the cabin. She listened with astonishment in her eyes, singled with a loo.k of strong censure. She saw nothing but absurdity in iL be was a courageous woman and a humane one, but neither quality as evinced in the narrative touched her. It seemed to her high-flown, idiotic, altogether in bad taste. "Girls who live with their fathers alone ilways run so wild and become so queer," the said, when he had finished his tale. It was the only remark which she consid- ? alio1 tnr frnm hpr.

Sunbury; she could not yet brine? herself to believe that he was in earnest. "You must remember the story of Vernon of Llanarth better than I, since you are older than I. You were in the world at the time and I was a bov." "I have no recollection,'1 said his sister coldly, annoyed at the allusion to her increasing years. "You will have, if you think a moment. He was a very clever and popular man, a great scholar, and rich ail the family are rich and he gave up everything he possessed, wholly, voluntarily, and with magnificent magnanimity, " to dower the widows and orphans of 400 men who were drowned by an underground river bursting into a coal mine which he possessed in South Wales. He considered that he had been to blame in never visiting a property which was on a portion Ci his 'ands. and tnut if ho had' given more personal intention to it his engineers am superintendents would have been more vigilant, and tho catastrophe might not have occurred, as the weakness of the side next the river would have Ix'en known and provided for. The mine itsel f was total ly destroyed, of course an immense los to him; and he gave up all tho rest of his fortune to provide for over a thousand helpless Ceople. Everyone called him a madman ; ut neither the world nor his family changed his intentions. He disappeared from society, and has maintained himself ever since, I believe, by writing for scientific and historical reviews and other learned works. When I heard his name I rememberered the generosity and quixotism of an action which I very much admired in my boyhood." "It was no more than his duty," remarked Lady Sunbury, coldly, when his enthusiasm was spent." "And how many of us do our duty?" said Guilderoy. "And is it not always ea.-y to find sophistries which will relieve us of it? I do not believe either that it was anything so cold as a sense ot duty ; it was a gentleman's instinct to sutler anything rather than let others sillier through him." The heritage of such fine and sensitive honor as Vernon's seemed to Guilderoy the richest dower that any young girl could bring with her to any race; and lie said so with some vehemence and reproach. "You are always Athenian in knowing what is right," said Lady Sunbury, dryly. "Certainly you would be the last man on earth to do anything in any way similar." "I do not presume to pretend that I should. But if there be one thing which I admire more than another," said Guilderoy, angrily, "it is men who sacrifice themselves to what they consider the duties of property. John Vernon did it; Aubrey does it; I do not doit because I have neither the force of character nor the strength of belief which would move me to do it. But 1 admire it; and when I saw John Vernon to-day, I saw a hero." "Because the hero has a good-looking daughter!" "What a disagreeable person you can be, Hilda!" "When I do not flatter you." "No. I detest flattery; when you throw cold water on any rare enthusiasm which may be fortunate enough to revive in one's chilled soul." "You are generally enthusiastic when you have seen a new face which pleases you for the moment." "Here it was courage that pleased me quite as much as beauty." "He has been hero ten years, and the cottage is rented at forty pounds," continued Guilderoy with anger at himself. "He must have paid me actually four hundred pounds! Good heavens! A man to whom I should have been charmed and honored to give the best estate that I possess rent free !" "Many things may happen on our properties that we regret, if we never inquire into what is done on them," said hi3 sister coldly. 'Tray spare me a sermon ; I had one yesterday from Aubrey, and one from bis child to-day. After all, Mr. Vernon would certainly not consent to live rent free, however much I wished it; and had I been awars he was there, perhaps he would not have stayed. He will know no one. they say." "All is for the best, no doubt," said Lady Sunbury in a tone which strongly suggested the contrary. "If he had known the county people like a reasonable boing, his daughter would not have been likely to interest you by her adventures." When the morning came she declined to go to Christslea. "Whatever follies he may commit now or hereafter, they shall not have my countenance," she said to herself in that spirit of which women of her character consider the display to be due to their dignity and their lamflies. Guilderoy restrained a passionate inclination to uso tho bam lan

guage to her that her husband did, and went over to Christslea alone. Lady Sunbury remained at home, having done what prudence and dignity required of her. Yet she had an uneasy consciousness that more real prudence, if less dignity, might have been shown in accompanying her brother. She might have prevented or mitigated some folly. Anxiety and apprehension made her restless, and she wandered in a desultory manner, wholly unlike her usual energy and decision, to and fro through the great house which had been her birthplace, from whose future mistress, whosoever she might lx she would exact such superhuman and innumerable virtues. She could not believe, seriously, that Guilderoy would make himself so utterly absurd as he had threatened, and yet in-tii-ifte l'liowledg- of his character had told'her that on occasion lie could be capable of dangerous and incredible couns de Ute; a weakness inherited from the warm Gascon blood of his mother's race. Indolent, nonchalant, and easily swayed as he was usually, he became at such moments both strong-willed and deaf to all argument and persuasion. "Anv woman who has to pass her life with him will need the wisdom of the serpent and the gentleness of the dove," she thought, mournfully, conscious that remarkably few women ever possess either. Iady Sunbury never perceived why it was that she utterly failed herself to influence the men belonging to her; but she had much perception into the character of other women, and she saw clearly enough the cause of their failures. Meanwhile she passed the forenoon pacing up and down the numerous galleries and salons of Ladysrood. In the middle of the morning she sent for the land steward, and interrogated him as to the occupants of Christslea. All that he told her only served to make her more angry, because it made tho quixotic folly of Guilderoy assume a more jKjssible shape. She heard that John Vernon was of irreproachable character, if of eccentric habits, and that the causes of his poverty were of tho highest honor to him. "There is a child, is there not a daughter ?" she asked. "There is. I have seen her occasionally. She promises to be very handsome," replied the steward, wondering whither these questions tended. "But very odd, is she not?" "Not more so than any young girl must be who is educated by a recluse, and deprived of all the natural Amüsements and companionships of her own ago and sex." "I understand," said Lady Sunbury, with a shudder. She could see the girl exactly as she was a wild creature without gloves, her brain filled, verv likely, with godless philosophies, and her hair never properly brushed handsome, no doubt, or Guilderoy would never have looked nt her or thought twice about her, but untrained, imprudent and irreligious. Guilderoy meanwhile was riding through tho woods and across the moorland to the modest residence of John Vernon. He was so possessed with one idea, ono desire, that the folly of his errand altogether failed to occur to himj the possibility of it3 end being disappointment and dismissal never passed through his mind. All his life women had taught him and told him that the offer of his hand would be a favor which could only be met by the most ardent gratitude. It was not vanity which moved him, but the sense that ho had a great gift to give, and one which no living woman would reject. Asherodo his thoughts grew fervid, and his imagination heated ; he saw ever before him the face of Gladys Vernon.and a thousand excited emotions rose in him as ho rode through the brilliant windmoved autumn air. He was certainly about to commit an unspeakable absurdity in offering his whoie future to a child whom he had seen but the day before. But the absurdity of his intentions did not strike him he was too enamored of the poetry and romance of them and the opposition of his sister had stimulated him to a promptness of action far from common to an indolent and undecided temperament. When he sent in his card at Christslea ho was at onco ushered into the back study, which John Vernon used; a small room made dusky by the ivy which shrouded tho window, and with books lying five or six deep on the floor, while crowded bookcases lined each of tho four walls. "This is very kind to come bo soon again to a solitary," said Mr. Vernon, with his pleasant smile. Guilderoy pressed his hand and answered without any preface whatever. "It is you who will, I hope, be kind to inc. My dear sir, I com to beg from you
tho honor of your daughter's hand in marriage." "What ! Good God, are you out of your mind?" cried John Vernon. Ho fell backward a few paces and stared at his visitor with tho blank stupidity of a bewildered and incredulous amazement; ho had always heard that his neighbor of Ladysrood was capricious and eccentric. Was he left now, he asked himself, in the presence of a madman? "It is not complimentary either to her or to me that you should be so greatly astonished?" said Guilderoy with annoyance. "Allow mo to repeat my words. I have come over this morning to solicit the honor of your daughter's hand. My position is known to you, and on my character, though it might not satisfy precisians, vou wiil not j::.d any very serious stain. I venture to think that my proposals may not be altogether intolerable to you." "It is not that," said John Vernon, still breathless. "It is it is the child is a child she is not of marriageable years she is a baby and good heavens! you have only seen her for ten minutes, yesterday. My dear Lord Guilderoy, if tlii3 bi not a joke; if it be not part of some comedy, of some enigma to which I have not the key " "Can you suppose tint I should insult you by jests on such a subject? I was never more serious in my life." "Then I must gratefully and respectfully decline the honor you propose to do myself and my daughter," replied John Vernon with the tone and air of a person who cioses a subject which cannot be reopened. "Why?" asked Guilderoy, coldly. "Why?" Vernon repeated the word in vague bewilderment. "Why? Why, I have a thousand reasons. I havo said she is the merest child. She knows nothing of you; you know nothing of her. How can you ask mo why ? My dear lord, it is a kind of insanity." I may appear discourteous and ungrateful in declining your overtures so abruptly, but it is in truth a question which does not bear discussion." "Every question bears discussion if it carries no insult with it, and you cannot consitler that my desires insult you," replied Guilderoy, who controlled his temper with effort. "Insult no. I am 6ure you do not mean it as that," said Vernon, infinitely amazed, troubled, and annoyed. "But the mere idea is intolerable, insane, preposterous. You were kind to a child yesterday, and this morning you wish to marry her. Good God! It is only a few months ago that she was a baby playing with a toy lamb. My dear Lord Guilderoy, if indeed you are serious, this is midsummer madness. You have eaten of the drug of Love in Idleness, and Titania and her crew havo played with you. Go home and laugh at your freak to-morrow, and thank the fates that I am not a man to take you at your word and keep you to it. Good day. "I shall not go away until I have received from you such "answer as I wish," replied Guilderoy. The unlooked-for opposition fanned his new desires into double warmth. "As a visitor you are the most welcome to my house, but it is the only welcome I can give you," repliod Vernon. "I doubt my own senses when I think of the things you havo said, of the amazing errand on which you have come here. 1 still feel as if it must be only in jest that you are speaking; some jest of which I am as yet too stupid to 6ee the point." ."My dear sir," said Guilderoy impatiently, "you think me very . ill-bred if I could possibly presume to jest on such a subject. I have never seen anyone marriageable whom I admire so much as I admire your daughter, and I told my sister last evening that I should come here to solicit her hand in all seriousness." "Her handl She is a baby I tell you. A little rustic. A mere country mouse, with not a penny to her fortune." 1 ho daughter of Mr. Vernon of Llanarth has one heritage at least which kings might envy," said Guilderoy with his courtliest graco and an accent of reverent sincerity. "I thank you," said Vernon with some emotion. He had never supposed that any one remembered an act which had always seemed to him very simple and always absolutely enjoined by duty and honor. "But there is something more for me to do," he a Idod, "than in all seriousness to reply that I must with regret decline the honor of the alliance which you propose to me." The faco of Guilderoy flushed with anger and offense. "I repeat that you cannot refuso to allege your reasons, at least." "Certainly not; they are simple and obvious. The child is too young, and you are a stranger to us both." "Ii thew be your only reasons they axo

both defects which time will cure, if you will allow mo tho privilega of intimacy here." John Vernon, vexed, perplexed and uncertain how to repay so much persistency, drew lines on the blotting-paper befor him and was silent. He did not approve of what he had heard of the lord of Ladysrood ; the various stories of the country-side depicted Guilderoy as strange, capricious, and negligent of the duties of his station; but, on tho other hand, he was admired and esteemed in that great world which John Vernon had once known so well, and no graver sins than those of caprice and self-indulgence had ever been attributed to him ; he might have been a voluptuary, but he had always been a man of honor. It was difficult to rcjK t uch a suitor, and j-c-t he was wholly determined to reject him inexorably. "(Jive" him Gladys!" he thought; "why, he would tire of her in three days!" "I know what you are thinking," said Guilderoy, abruptly. "You are thinking that I should treat her ill. I should not; I do not treat women ill even when they annoy and weary me. There is not a woman living who could complain of my want of regard for her even when she had lost all power to please me. On your daughter I will make any settlement that you please, and place it entirely out of mv power to injure her were I inclined u "To injure her materially yes; I do not fear that you would ever do that But there are so many things that none can promise to do or not to do; we may control our actions, but we can not control our feelings, and we often make others unspeakably wretched through no fault whatever of our own. Against the wounds of the affections no possible guarantee can be ever given; the laws of marriage are constructed on the absurd idea that it that it is possible to do so, and that is why marriage is the almost universal failure that we see it is. But you do not want a disquisition; you want an answer. My dear lord, I can only repeat what I said before, that I thank you for the compliment you pay me, that I apologize to you if astonishment made me appear discourteous, but that what you wish is wholly and forever impostible." Guilderoy rose and boved with a faint smile. "Forever is a large word. You tempt me to deceive and to defy you, and to endeavor to make what I wish wished also by your daughter against your wish. You refuse me; but you could not refuse her." John Vernon looked up startled and impatient. "You mean that you will make love to the child unknown to me? It is possible. She is not a prisoner. But I doubt very much if, with all your power over her sex and your experience oi them, you would be able to persuade her to have any secret whatever from me." "Why force mo to try then?" said Guilderoy. "I come to you in all openness and fairness. If you will let me visit you on the footing of friendship, I will take no advantage of it without your knowledge and concurrence. But I shall hope, of course, in time to convert you and her to my views." John Vernon threw his papcr-knifo down with a roughness rare in so gentle a person and walked to the window. Ina lew moments he returned to his visitor. "I suppose it must be as you wish," he said unwillingly. "But give me your word that if I admit you here you will take no advantage of it ; that you will not see the child out of my presence." "I promise that," replied Guilderoy. And he was himself astonished at the sudden intensity and warmth which his own desires had obtained from the fanning wind of opposition. "I am perfectly certain that you will not keep in the same inclination," added Vernon. "It is wildly improbable that you should do so, and I cannot permit the mind of as young a girl as Gladys to be disturbed by ideas of which 6he has no more thought at present than any one of the red deer fawns on your moorlands. I am sure that you will understand that I Jrefer that you dismissed this strange ancy altogether from your own mind, and accept once and for all my my rejection of your proposals ; but, "if vou will not do that, all I can admit is ihat you should come here occasionally as my landlord and neighbor, without allowing the child to have any suspicion of any ulterior motive in your visits." "Your stipulations are humiliating," said Guilderoy, "but I suppose I must accept them." He was amused, despite his annoyance, at the unwillingness with which his proposals were received. No one elso in all the world, ho thought, would have failed to accept them with ardor and gratitude. John Vernon's attitude moved him to res;K'ct and eotccni. Hero wa at least ono

man to whom the good things and the great ones of the world were as dross. He left Christslea a few minutes later without seeking to 6ee Gladys that day. CHAPTER VII. When he mot Lady Sunbury in the small Queen Anne drawing-room before supper, she was infinitely too proud and too offended to ask him any question, though inquisitiveness and anxietv were never so strained, well-nigh to bursting, in the breast of woman. Guilderoy, however, did not keep her very long in suspense. "You will be very glad for me to pass the winter here instead of in Italy," he said, as ho took his cup of tea. "That is what I am going to do." Lady Sunbury was rot glad. Human nature is full of contradictions. "You will never pass the winter here," she said, with some violence. "Never. For you will never keep in the same mood or the same mind for two weeks!" "I shall keep in this," he answered. "And you will oblige me very much if you will drive over to Christslea to-morrow. John Vernon is quite a respectable person, though he has lost all his raoiu-y; indeed, more respectable perhaps than if he had multiplied it." "And why should I call on Mr. Vernon?" said" Lady Sunbury, holding a screen between her and the wood lire, with an unamiable and ominous look upon her high, straight, delicate features. "Only because it is usual in the conventional 6tate of the world to do that sort of thing," said Guilderoy, carelessly; "and I shall marry his daughter in February; I told you last night that I should do so." Iiis 6ister was silent for a few moments. Her lips turned pale with rage. "And I do not even know her!" she said in a suffocated voice. "Really that is no one's fault but yours." said Guilderoy. "I asked you to drive there this morning aud vou refused. I do not know her very much myself." "You must be mad !" "So Mr. Vernon said, but I believe not; of course, one can never be quite sure. There are insidious lessons in the brain which do not declare themselves. Many statesmen's actions which appear unaccountable are really caused by unsuspected protognosis " Lady Sunbury interrupted him passionately. "Do you mean to tell me, with all this fooling, that you are about to enter on the most serious act of your life with less consideration than you would show in burying a dog?" "It is not so very serious," murmured Guilderoy. "It used to bo thought so in old-fashioned days, but not now." "Do you mean that you marry only to abandon your w ife in a week ?" Mr. Vernon said three days. Nobody abandons their wife now-a-days, I think, except workingmen who empty the savings out of tho tea-caddy and go off to Australia." "If Mr. Vernon, whatever else ho be, is a man of the slightest sense, he will forbid so abnormal, to unnatural, so insensate a foll.v." "Mr. Vernon has all the will in the world to forbid it, but his power is not equal to his will." "What! Does he feel no gratitude, no sense of honor received, no consciousness of the immense compliment you pay him ?" "You are exacting. You desire him at once to be servile and furious. He was neither. He had an admirable hnanner, for which I respect him, and a very slight opinion of himself, with which I do not quarrel. My dear Hilda, do not force mo to quarrel with you. It would be so much to be regretted. I abhor dissensions, and if they are forced on me I do not very soon forget them. If a man, well-born and well-bred, has a charming child, who is both lovely and innocent, he would surely not bo guilty of the intolerable vulgarity of thinking her the inferior of any suitor who could present himself. What I desire to do may be, as you say, an insensate follv. Very possibly it is, and that I shall tell you so one day, when you will have the only mortal happiness which never palls the pleasure of being in the right. But at present leave me to my illusions. You may le quite sure they will not last long. You have never approved of my ways of life. You probably never will approve of them whether I take the paths of virtue or tho paths of vice." Lady Sunbury sat silent, pale and stern. She would at all times with any other person pour out in pitilesscrescendo the most bitter and violent reproaches, and bear off the triumph of the last word at any cost. But with Guilderoy she was conscious there were limits which 6he could not pass and retain his affection; that a quarrel, if forced upon him, would have no reconciliation, poMibl summoned ia iu
train. The sense of that certainty restrained her bitterest words, for in hef own manner she loved him almost more than she loved the sons that she had borne. "Of course it is all a jest," she said, with much self-control, as she rose r.nd moved away; but her lips quivered with anger, and her eyes were dark with it "Not in the least a jest," replied Guilderoy ; but he said it carelessly, and did not pursue the theme, which was mentioned no more between them that evening. In the morning Lady Sunbury received her letters in her own room; there waa nothing of the very smallest importanco in them. They consi- ted of circulars, petitions, political gossip, with ü little note from one of her sons at Eton asking for "); but they sulhced her for an excuse, and she sent word to her brother that she was extremely sorry that news had reached her that morning which would oblige her to go home at once, taking London on her way. "I am extremely sorry, too," Guilderoy wrote on a slip of paper. "But you know I always wish you to please yourself. And she went at noonday. "I wonder you have not more curiosity," he said with a smile, as he bade her farewell on the steps of the terrace. She deigned to give no reply. But sho had not gone manv miles upon her homeward way before sho became conscious of how utterly her usually ever-present wisdom of judgment had plaved her false at this moment If pride had not forbade it she would gladly have returned. As tho train swept round a bend on the rocks she saw in tho distance the gray spires and towers of Ladysrood rising from their reddening forests and purple moorlands, with the soft sunlit mist of the September morning shrouding the at their back. Little given to such emotions cs she was, Lady Sunbury saw then through another mist, which was of tears, "There is one consolation, however," she thought; "even if there were anything serious in what he said, one week of wet November weather will drive this fancy from his thoughts aud see him in Paris going southward. He will no more endure an English winter than the nightingales." And yet she regretted more and more that she had It it Ladysrood with such precipitincy us the train Hew on farther and farther over the breezy downs and wooded wolds of Somerset ami Wilts.

Graham is the secretary and a large stockholder of the Nimriek and Driuin manufacturing company of Pittsburg, located in the very hotbed of protection. He tays: I am convinced that the tariff as nt present constructed is crushing the life out of American manufacturers. W hile profesing to protect, il hampers. It enhances, often H per cent., the cost of raw materials. This increases the cost of the finished product, and necessarily results in restricting the home market, while almost prohibiting the export of our wares. While our tarill laws thus restrict the demand for labor by limiting the markets in which we can sell, there is no restriction on the free importation or immigration of labor. In this I found the reason for the great and growing discontent of our laborers. They are forced to compete in waes wiih unlimited and unrestricted supplies of labor front all parts of the world. This reduces waes, while their purchasing power is still further reduced because they must buy everything they need ia the dearest market in the world. They have to sell their labor in the open market at a natural price, while the price ot everything they buy is an artificial one fixed by the tarL. There are far more revenue reformer! amonf manufacturers than politicians imagine. Their ranks are swelled each day by new recruits. Of course thousands of them will not be heard from at all. Like the independents of 184. they will be felt only at the polls, but they will be there, I believe, and vote to continue the republican party m private life for many years to come.
