It's high time a-d.iy for you to sit there arid lecture nie, Silvia, and prate aljHt your conscience. I know wh-vt I'm about; write the letters and kevp the dreams to yourself. What business had you to ! dreaming about my lover, let me ask? A pretty ca.e of con-scii-nee " "Toe ame business that I have to be writing to him, I suppose." You write to him lieeause I require it ; and papa hires and pays you to be a companion to me, ami to do what I will. I don't see that you need trouble yourself at all about it, unless you want to throw up the situation, ami obligo me to get used to a new companion." ' You night find the change of handwriting embarrassing, to Ih sure," laughed Silvia. It's very generous of you to remind nie of that dilemma, now, isn't it? And just to show nie how dependent I am UK)ti you? l'erhaps it's a bid for a higher figure. I always mi-tnist your high and mighty conscientious folks." You know me Ix-tter," answered Silvia. "I was only thinking that you were laying tin trouble for yourself." "That ni-eiln't trouble you." It annoys me that I should lc bliped to aid and alx-t yrm in the unJerUiting." Sweet sensibility! Oh, la!' Yon may ree.ign your idtuation and find a iM-tu-r if Tfoii can. I'm almost afraid to . keep nek a saint in the house."

"Oh! dear, dear." Why, did you buy it at that price? " laughed Luna. Can't you say imj thing any thing affectionate! How am I to do all that sort of thing in cold blood?" "Why, don't travel out of your way to say sp-Miney thing; write naturally, just as if we were talking together, he and I." How do I know what you would sayto him if you were talking together?" "How can I tell yon 4in cold blood? ' Can't you imagine? " "I may compromise you; I may lx too gushing or too frigid." Never fear. The king can do no wrong.

The bargain's made and th money's paid," murmured Luna, significantly, as he closed the d-nir. Silvia opened 'hi.s last Utter" and sighed. What a pleasant one it was, to be sure, and how little appreciated. Sweetness wasted on the desert air. Supposing it were her own. Would any one ever write, to her like that? A genuine love-letter, meant for no eve but his sweetheart's, yet how desecrated. The old line said Men were deceivers ever." Had thev taught women the
