MAT'S LUCK.
•Con-
'It is just my luck!' said Mat found it!' He walked gloomily to tbe window and looked out—on the vivid green of tbe croquet lawn, on white and red roses clustering about the porcb on tbe old rector, tending his favorite geraniums in tbe distance, amid a blaze of sunshine and glow of silver. Mat longed to be witb him. Tbe somber room seemed oppressive as a cage.
He threw open the French windows, drew a long breath, thrust his fingers Into the pockets of a shooting coat, falling uatarally Into a careless lounging attitude peculiar to him. The fingers came in contact with a note, and idly brought it to light. It was addressed, in a woman's handwriting, to 'Matthew Curtis, Esq., M. D.,' a grim smile played about that gentleman's lips as he reflected bow unsalted was that formal super* scription to the jovial, reckless good-for-naugbt, known to rich and poor lor miles around as young Mat Curtis.
With a listless air he drew forth the brief inclosure. His face darkened as be perused it. 'Miss Agnes Bellue would be glad to have a few minutes* conversation with Mr. Curtis.' 'Lover-like—very!' commented Mat, with sarcastic emphasis.
Another glance at the delicate paper and the firm, square handwriting, the dark look hardening the while, until the character of tbe lace seemed completely altered. 'Look at it!' quoth Mat. 'Her hand never trembled there is not a wavering stroke! Why, most girls would cry their eyes out while writing such a note as that to her lover!'
He crushed the offending missive into a crumpled ball as he spoke, and addressed a few na,ore nnapostolic expletives to the fair sunshine—fexplatives peculiarly unbefitting a clergyman's study, or the hearing of the young lady who noiselessly entered in time indistinctly to catch them.
Young—not more than twenty, perhaps—but with a serene and queenly grace of movement, a gravely beautiful faoe—an gi^jusjt now of haughty disgust. 'Pardon me,' she says, icily 'so interesting a conversation with yourself is probably of a confidential nature.'
Mat turas witb a flaming face, aqnick, deprecating gesture, a courteous apologetic bow and speech that somehow in their confused humility stamp him as a gentleman. 'I trust, inOeed.you did not hear it. 1 earnestly crave forgiveness if you did.'
She contemptously dismisses the matter with tbe slightest wave of a little jeweled hand. Cold, hard, proud she looks, and her words have a clear cut articulation, suggestive of newly clipped coins. 'I sent for you—' •Yes,' answered Mat, defiantly. K-is penitence? is dying away—t.be dark, bard expression is returning.
4Jtist
my lnck,'
it seems to repeat. 'To oeg an answer to three questions,' continued Miss Belleu,
Mat bows, thrusts his hands into the deep sbootiug pockets onoe more, and resumes the careless, lounging attitude. 'Have you entered your name, notwithstanding my protest, as a gentleman rider for the autumn steeplechase?' 'Yes.' •Have you, iu truth,'gone back to the old hnbit of dropping luto the Barleycorn two or three nights in the week to' (how sujwrb was the ring of soorn in her voice!) 'drink ale and smoke in company with the boors there?' 'Yes,' repeats Mat, sturdily. 'Is it, indeed, true that, on leaving that inn last night, you involved yourself in a poaching affray, actually knocking down a keeper and helping one of the poachers to escape?' 'Yes,' says Mat, with a kind of sullen despair.
Miss Bellue draws something from her white fingers and holds it out. Mechanically Mat's hand comes

It is pitiful to see bow he watches her while he sDeaks, and notes the same fixed, mute'changeless answer. 'At least, let mo explain. I can do so to your satisfaction, I think, I hope!' he says, dubiously. 'Return it to your finger, and reserve judgment until you hear the defense!' And he held the ring toward her, witb a great, olnmay band that trembled somewhat.
Still no audible reply. A faint shake of the head, a look of polite increduili-* ty—that is ail.
Do yon care?' be asks. His appealing eyes search bar face. It does not cbangc. Beautiful, imperturable, the sentence written there never varies. His unsteady fingers drop tbe ring but he let it lie, half buried in a fleecy rug. Then, with a set, stern look, be ?*ts his foot upon it, bows siightly, and walks.from the room.
He leaves the house,' passfbg window to sain the road,but looking neither to the right nor to tbe left.
His bead is ereot, his hands are out of the loose pockets. For onoe (startling transformation) young Mat Curtis looks positively dignified.
And as be vanishes as startling a transformation takes plaoe in the room be has quitted. Miss Ballne proves herself a woman, and not a queen, by -a series of actions essentially rem!nine.
First, she rescues tbe bent love token from tbe floor then ahe kisses it and cries over it then she looks it away carefully in a writing desk: then she roihaa np stairs to watoh her lover oat of sight from an npper window.
For a quarter of a mile or go she watobed him, a retreating figure, growing smaller in tbe dlstanoe. He never once looked back the regular march of never faltered a turn of the

road bid him from sight! Miss Bellue sat down on the floor—a motit undigni fled position—and cried until her pretty eyes were swollen.
It is all over!' she moaned—'all over.' 'l 'Fire! Fire!'
Mat sprang from his bed, and witb professional expertness struok a light, tumbled into some clothes and ruahed from tbe house.
No need to ask whence the alarm proceeded the fierce pillar of flame and the red glow in tbe sky were beacons toward whioh he ran at headlong speed, with one thought in his mind. 'I pray heaven it may not be the rectory!'
Where is it?' he shouted to two laborers, fagging along as swiftly as heavy boots and ponderous habits of progression would let them.

'Fearmer Joyoe's sur.' Farmer Joyce's! Thank heaven! The next boose to tbe rectory, but not near enough to endanger iti
Mat's suspense gave plaoe to a thrill of almost pleasurable excitement It was his 'mad yonng blood'asserting itself. Dashing through a gateway, be almost ran over a girl, bareheaded, wringing her hands in impotent anxiety. It was Miss Bellue. 'Go back at once,' oommanded -Mat, curtly. 'Put on a hat, and the tbiokest shawl you have.'
Tbe panic stricken girl obeyed. Not till afterward did it occur to her that he bad no right to issue such instructions.
When she returned it was to find Matthew Curtis, Esq., M. D.t in tbe center of a pig stye, pitching out squeaking, half roasted porkers.
Just my luck!'he grumbled, examining bis scorched fingers. 'If they had been babies, now, I might have gained some credit at tbe same risk.'
The stable is a fire, sur!' What!' shouted Mat. He did not wait for tbe Information to be repeated. An ardent lover of horseflesh, it was an appeal to his sympathies that sent him round intervening outbuildings in a state of breathless suspense.
It was true. The stable was on lire the horses wei screaming with terror two or three, rustics were making excited and fruitless attempts to drag them out—attempts the poor animals resisted witb all their might. A little crowd of men looked on idly and desparingly. 'Jim, run into the barn and get three or four empty sacks and a rope, quick.' 'Yes, sir.'
By drawing a sack over each animal's bead and neck, thus blindfolding it by passing a rope round the forelegs and setting strong arms to haul, and by a little organization of brave, but until then ill applied efforts, a rescbe was effected. All the horses were saved except one poor brute, smothered by tbe smoke.
Farmer Joyce came up, with a grimy band extended in honest gratitude. 'Thank you kindly, sir, I don't mind for the ricks and the buildings—they are all insured, but it went to my heart to hear them poor brutes scream.
Mat gave his left band—the ri^bt band was bound up with a handkerchief. The old rector joined them, Miss B9llae leaning on bis arm. •Tbe danger is over now, Joyce, I think. Mat, come across with me.'
Mat glanced at the averted face of the young lady, and misconstrued it. She was, in truth, ashamed to meet his eye. Tbe contrast between bis coolness and courage and her physical cowardice bumbled ber. She bad come down from tbat pedestal of propriety from which she had presumed to judge bim so harshly, but bo did not snspeotit. 'I have burnt my hand and arm slightly—just my luck!' said Mat. 'I must hurry home at once to dress tbem.'
He took off his hat as he spoke, awkardly enougb, with the lgft bgna, and turned away.
rT
•He is atitie fellow, AgfeSs, that lover of yours,' said tbe rector 'but bis manner is rather abrupt to night. What ails him?' 'Never mind, papa—never mind.'
There was a kind of wail in Miss Bellue's voice. •A lover's quarrel,' thought the rector, sagely. 'Thon my attitude must be one of dignified neutrality—my policy, nonintervention and he laughed quietly to himself at the conceit.
Mat was dressing bis burns in tbe surgery when the outer door opened and his father entered. 'Hallo, dad! Who called you up? It was my turn tO-niRht.'
It should be explained that 'young Mat Curtis' and 'th* old doctor' .were partners.' •The old doctor' made no reply. He sat down in a low chair, and began to fan himself witb a broad straw hat. Mat, looking uain surprise, saw that he was ghastly pale that bis eyes had a look of horror in them that his whole appearance wa« that of a man who had sua tslned a terri We fright. I Mat touched Ms arm gSiit ^•'What islt, father?'
Doctor Curtis' lips moved twice before any sound issued then he uttered but the one word 'Cholera!'
Upon Mat's face there oame a faint reflection of h4# father's fear. Thescottrjprj" had been raging with frightful violence in distant part* of England, They talked of it often,dreading its approach, trastinf W iHigiit p»« byitbl* pirn* healthy vifiag%
Not tbe 'f tltwla# throe cases wans reported, ana one death. Tbe rival praotitioner, Mr, Bennett, a no an of good private meaqs, fled with his wife and fomHy. ifwcand'the old doctor' tore re worked almost to death. No need of bar parlor discussions, or approaching steeplechases, or poaching affrays now to qnlftt the young blood.
Mat went from house to bouse witb a hope-
grave lace and a eheerfal, kindly, iul word for every poor, terrified wretch who shuddered at bis own fears.
Then his father waa trick mi, 'the old doctor.' »1 Poor 'old doctor'! When the evil he had dreaded really came to him, and seized upon him, be grew brave and strong. •Nonsense, lad!' he said, when Mat tried to speak encouraging words from a sinking heart. 'I have no stamina I could not expect to live much longer in tbe ordinary course of nature. Dont blink the truth, boy, I shall be glad to die in the harness.'
.Alias fjcllqe watChetf tbe 'faafferal pr oeaslan from tbat same upper window wbioh ahe bad onoe before put to a simi lar use.
Very contrite was Miss Bellue in these days. A horrible dread bad taken possession of her with the first report of oboleraiu tbe village. She fought against it she bated beraeif for it abe tried to drag herself to tbe beds of the siok poor but trembling limbs refused to oarry her. It was oonatitutionai physical oowardioe and every gossiping tale of Mat's calm heroism increased ber selfabasement and ber love and admiration for that unconscious gentleman.
His father's death gave him double work, but be did nut spare himself. He snatched food, rest, sleep, when and bow he oould, until the epidemic died out almost then, as tbe last case was in a fair way of recovery, be aickened. 'My luck has changed,' said Mat, with a smile. 'I can be spared now the work is done.'
Miss Bellue heard the news the same bour. A housemaid, to whom she had done some little kindness, ran off to the rectory to tell her. Miss Bellue gave an order or two, and went straight to ber father's study.
Papa, Mat is strioken dov Bless my aoul!' said the rector, in great excitement. 'Poor lad poor lad 'I have told Jenkins to put the horses to tbe brougham, and tbe housekeeper to get tbe green bedroom ready.' 'Eh?'and tbe old gentleman looked very bewildered. •And vou must fetoh Mat,' explained Miss Bellue, calmly.
But— but——' He shall not be left to tbe nursing of those ignorant servants,' she insisted, resolutely. 'He shall be brought here or I will assuredly go to bim.'
Tbe rector bad yielded to ber all her life. He shook his head in sore perplexity. 'Are you not afraid, dear
A peculiar smile lighted her pale, beautiful countenanoe. Not now.'
A similar question was almost tbe first Mat in a convalescent state, ere you not afraid, darling?' Perfect love casteth out fear,' she reoined, softly.
