Bless you forsayinj?

THB COURSE OP TRUE LOVE, The next time Walter Clifford met Mary Hartley lie wA gloomy at intervals The otxwrvatft girl eaw he had something on bis mind. She taxed him with it, and asked him tenderly what it was. "Oh, nothing," said he. "Don't tell me!" she said. "Mind, nothing escapes my eye. Come, tell me, or we are not friends." ^t"0h, come, Mary. That is hard." "Sot 1 the least. I take an interest in you." itt

It was a dark girl that deceived me so heartlessly years ago." "Ah ««And made me hate the whole sex "Or only the brunettes?" "The whole lot." "Cousin Walter. I thank you in the I name of that small oompany." "Until I saw you, and you converted mo In one day.'* "Only to the blondes "Only to one of them. My sweet

Mary, the situation is serious. You, whose eye nothing escapes-—you must have seen long ago how I love you "Nevermind what I have seen, Walter," said'Mary, whose bosom was beginning to heave. "Very well," said Walter "then I wil tell you as if you didn't know it. lad mired you at urst sight every time I was with you I udmiredTyou, and loved you pnoreapd more.

This and the voice of love, now ardent, now broken with emotion, were more than sweet, saucy Mary could trifle with her head dropped slowly upon his shoulder, and her arm went around his ueck, and the tremor of her yielding frame and the tears of tenderness that flowed slowly from her fair eyes told Walter ...

UUi He had the sense not to ask her for words. What words could be so eloquent at this? He just held her to his manly bosom, and trembled with love and joy and trlamph.

She knew, too, that ahe had replied, and treated nor own attitude like a sentence in rather a a roll way. "But for aU that,'1 said she, "I don't mean to be a wicked girl if I can help. This is an age of wicked young ladies. Soon found that oat la the newspapers that and science are two features. And I have made a •oletnn vow not to be one of them— (Query, a science or a naughty girl)— making mischief between father and son." "No more you shall, dear," said Walter. "Leave it to me. We must be patient. and all will come right." "Oh, I'll be true to you, dear, If that is all," said Mary. •'And if you would not mind just temporising a little, for my sake, who love you?" "Temperiie!" said Mary, eagerly. "With all my heart. I'll temporise till we are all dead and buried." "Oh, that will be too long for me,M aald Walter. "Oh, never do things by halves," said the ready girl.

If his tongue had been as prompt as hers, he might havo said that "temporising" was doiag things by halves bat he let her have the last word. And perhaps she lost nothing, she would have had that whether or no.

So this day was another era In their love. Girls after a time are not contest to see they are beloved they must hear It too and now Walter had spoken out like a man. and Marry had replied like a woman. They were happy and walked hand in hand purring to one another, instead of sparring any more.

She was always tall, bat now •he seemed lofty, and to combine the supple panther with the ereet peacock In her ireful march.

Would there be any great barm if I were to say that nobody can see you without admiring you that I have always respected his rights, but that if he abandons them—"

Julia caught it in a moment. She blushed, and laughed heartily. "Oh, you good, sly thing J" said she and it to the truth, for I am as proud -as he is vain, and if he does leave me I will turn round that moment and make you in love with me."

Having thus impregnated his mind with that soothing sentiment, jealousy, Walter told him he had a house to let on the estate—quite a gentleman's honse, only a little dilapidated, with a fine lawn and garden, only 1?®8]ec^ *n wilderness. "But all the better tor you," said he. "Yen have plenty of money and no occupation. Perhaps that what leads to these little qoarreto. will amuse you to repair the crib and restore the lawn. Why, there to a brook runs through it—it isn't every town has that—and there used to be water-liliee floating, and peonies nodding down at them from the bank: a paradise.

Didn't! tell you so Walter then demanded the ace of diamonds, and on its face let him the house and premises on a repairing lease for three years, rent £5 a year which was a good bargain for both parties, since Percy was sure to lay out a thousand pounds or two on the property, and to blind Julia more closely to him. who

was worth her weight in gold ten times over. Walter had brought the keys with him so he drove Percy over at once and gave him possession, and, to do the little fellow justice, the moisture of gratitude stood in his eyes when they parted.

Walter tola Julia all about it that same night, and her eyes were eloquent too.

The next day he had a walk with Mary Bartley, and told her all about it. She hung upon him, and gazed admiringly into his eyes all the time, and they parted happy lovers.

Mr. Bartley met her her at the gate. "Mary," said he, gravely, "who was that I saw with yon just now I "Cousin Walter." "I feared so. You are too much with him."

I am afraid he does and if yon reject him he will bo very unhappy. And so shall I." "I am truly sorry to hear it, Mary, for there are reasons why I can not consent to an engagement between him and you." •.*4-' "What reasons, papa?"

"It would not be proper to dtoclose my reasons: but I hope, Mary, that it will be enough to say that Colonel Clifford has ether views lor his son, and I have other views for my daughter. Do you think a blessing will attend you or nim if you defy both fathers?" "No, no," said poor Mary. "Wehavt been hasty and very foolish. But, 6h, papa, have you not seen from the first? Oh, why dia you not warn me in time? Then I could have obeyed you easily. Now it will cost me the happiness of my life. We are very unfortunate. Poor Walter! He left me so full of hope. What shall I do what shall I do

It was Mary Bartley's first grief. She thought all chance of happiness was gone forever, and she swept bitterly for Walter and herself.

Bartley was not unmoved, but he could not change his nature. The sum he had obtained by a crime was dearer to him than all his more honest gains. He was kind on the surface, but hard as marble.

Everybody else observed it. Mr. Hope would have been the'first to see it, if he had been in your place." This sudden thrust made Hartley wince, and showed him he had a tougher customer to deal with than poor Mary. "Yoy can't bear to be found fault with Eaatott," said he, craftily, "and I don't wonder at it, after fourteen years' fidelity to me."

I take no credit for that," said the woman, doggedly. "I have been paid for it." "No doubt. Rut I don't always get the thing I pay for. Then let by-gones hut just assist me now to cure the girl of this folly." "Sir," said the woman, firmly, "it is not folly it is wisest and best for all and can't make np my mind to lift a finger against it."

For I see by Miss Mary crying so you have spoken to her, and so now she is safe to oome to me for comfort and if she does, I shall take her part, yon may be Mire, for I love her like my own child." Here tbe dogged voice began to tremble bnt she recovered herself, and told him she would go at once to her sister Gilbert, that lived only ten miles off, and next day she woula go to the little hotel at the lakes, and leave him to part two true lovers 11 he could and break both their hearts she should wash ber hands of It.

Hartley asked a moment to consider. "Shall we be friends still if yon leave roe like that? Surely, after all these years, yon will not tell your sister Yon will not betray me?" "Never, sir," said she. "Whatfor? To bring those two together? Why, it wonld wurt them forever. I wonder at yon, a gentleman, and in business all your life, yet you don't seem to see through tbe maddy water as I do that is only a plain woman."

She then told him ber clothes were nearly all packed, and she could start In an honr. "You shall have the break and the horses," said he, with great alacrity.

This was too much even for stouthearted Nancy Easton. Oh, my child! my child!" she cried, and sat down on her box sobbing violently, Mary enfolded in ber urns, and then crying and rocking together. "Papa does not love me as I do Urn,"

sobbed Mary turning bitter for the first time. "He breaks my heart, and sends yoa away the same day, for fear yon should comfort me.' "No nsy dear,"said Mrs. Eaton "yon are wrong* He does not send me away I go by my own wish." "Oh, nurse, you desert me! then you don't know what has happened."

"Obi #urse, must yoa? must you? I "ftfrail have not a friend to advise or console me till Mr. Hone comes back. Oh, I hope that won't be long now."

Mrs. Easton dropped her hands upon her knees and looked at Mary Bartley. "WU&, Miss Mary, would you go to Mr. Hope in such a matter as this? Surely yotf would not haw the fade?" "Not take my breaking heart to Mr. Hope!" cried Mary ,with a sudden flood of tears. "You might as well tell me not to lay my trouble before my God.
