CHAPTER HE

ST. OEOROSX BAXOTZR SQUARE. At the conclusion of his lordship** decision Mr. Addison became purple with fury, and Mr. Bosooe hid his satTtmino face in his hands and groaned, then the attorney general rose, and ng James Short coming forward to ji to his clients, stopped him, and look hands with him waimly. "Let me congratulate you, my dear felfw," be said. "I never saw a case better roe. It was a perfect pleasure to me, glad that the judge thought

Mr. Addison, who was eioee by, overthl.H little speech, and anew light broke upon him. With a bound ho 1Tinged between James and the attorney ieraL 'I see what it is now," he said, in a shaking with wrath. "I've been aid. I am a victim to collusion. You're had five hundred of my money, confound u!" IK shouted, almost shaking his fist the of his learned and dignified 4dviaer "and now you are congratulating

And so they all went, and a very jolly £Lnner they had, as well they might. At however, it came to an end, and the

I twins departed, beaming liko stars happiness and champagne. And £hrn Lady Holmhurst deported also, and left Eustaco and Augusta alone. 'Life is a queer thing," said Eustaee "bore this morning I was a publisher's tender at £180 a rear, and now, to-night, "f this verdict holds, it seems that I am •toe of W wealthiest men In England." "Yes, dear," said Augusta, "and with ill the world at your feet, for llfo is full yf opportunities to tho rich. You have a real future before you, Eustace I really !D anliam*l to m&rry so rich a man." "My darlingi" he said, putting his arm nmna her, "whatever I have I owe to

"She tWinir about the things and, besides, she won't want to lose yoa before she is obliged." "That is all that I can do for you, sir," said Augusta, with decision. "There— come that's enough! Good night." And, breaking away from him, she made a pretty little courtesy and vanished. "Now, I wonder what she means to do," meditated Eustace, as the bailer brought him his hat. "I really should not wonder if she came round to it. But then one never knows how a woman will take a thing. If she will she will, etc., etc.

And now it may strike the reader as very strange, but, as a matter of fact, ten days from the data of the above conversation there was a small and early gathering at St. George's, Hanover square, close by. I say "small," for the marriage had been kept quite secret in order to prevent curiosity mongers from marching down upon it in their thousands, as they would certainly have done had it been announced that the heroine of the great will case was going to be married. Therefore the party was very select. Augusta had no relations of her own, and so she had asked Dr. Probate, with whom she had struck up a great friendship, to oome and give her away and, though the old gentleman's previous caieer had had more connection with the undoing of the nuptial tie than wijbh its contraction he ooold not find It in his heart to refopft "I shall be neglecting nty duties, yoa know, my dear young lady," he seid, shaking his head, "it's very wrong"— very wrong, for I ought to be at the regietry but—well, perhaps I can mannga to oome—very wrong, t&rogh—very wtong. and quite out of mv line of busineeo! I expect that I shall begin to address the oourt—I mean the clergyman—lor the petitioner."

And so it came to pass that on this auspicious day the registering was left to look after Itself and as a matter fof history, it mav be stated that no qaeefcioc was asked In parliament about it.

Then there was Lady Holmhurst, looking very pretty in her widow's dress and her boy Dick, who was in the highest spirits, and bursting with health and wonder at those strange proceedings on tho part of his "atwtiof* and, of oouraty the legal twins brought up the rear.

And there In tho vestry stood Augusta in hear bridal dress, as sweet a woman as ever the sun shone oo and, looking at her beautiful fsce, D*. Probate nearly fell in lovo with her himself. And yet it was a sad face just then. She was happy— very, as a loving woman who is about to bo made a wife should be but when a great jov draws near to us it comes companioned by tho shadows of oar old griefs. "Now, then, Miss Smithere," fcroho in Dr. Probate, "for the very last time—nobody will call you that again, you know lordship—]" parson—is there.1

It was done, and they were man and wife. Well, oven tho happiest marriage Is always a good thing to gut over. It was not along drive back to Hanover squirt, and the verv first sight that greeted than on their arrival was the infant from tj^o city (John's), accompanied by his brother, the Infant from Pump court (James'), who had, presumably, come to show him tho way, or, more probably, beoause he thought that there would oo eatables go* ing—holding in his hand a legal looking letter. "Marked Immediate,' str, so I thought that I had better serve it at once," said the first infant, handing tho lettor to John. "What is it?' ashed Eustaoe, oarvooafy. He had grown to hate tho sight of a lawyer's letter with a deadly hate. "Notico of appeal, I oxpoct," said John. "Open it, man," said Eustace, "and let's get it over." Accordingly, John did so, and read as follows: "Mmtso* vs. ADDIBOX AXD AXOTKKB. "DRAB Sin—After consultation with our clients, Mossrs. Addison and Roscoe, we are enabled to make you tho following oiler. If no account Ls required of tho mesne profits" "That's a wrong term." said James, Irritably. "Mesne profits refer to profits derived from ro*l estate. Just liko a solicitor to make such a blunder." "Tho term is perfectly appropriate^" replied his twin, with warmjh. "There was some real estate, and, therefore, the term can properly bo applied to the whole of tho income." "Fbr heaven's sake, dont argue, but

said Eustactv. "Dont yoa see I am on tenter hooksf* "My clients." continued John, "are ready to undertake that no appeal shall be presented in the reoent case of Meeoon vs. Addison and Another. If, however, tho plaintiff insists upon an account, the usual steps will be taken to bring the matter before a higher court. "Obediently yours, "NEWS & Nswa, "John Short* Esq. "P. S.—An immediate reply will oblige." "Well, M«s a, what do you say to that?" said JcLn. "But I beg vour pardon, I forgot perhaps yon would tike to take counsel's cdvko," and he pointed to James, who was rubbing his bald head indi^nantly answered no, I should ooi," so "rrejjui|s ma»t» up my miad.

The telegram to Nwws it News having bee& dispatched, they all woat in to the weddingbreakfast.

And after that Augusta went sad her dxoKk and then came tho tood-bra and, to ettape oboervat' they drove off in a hansom cab amid tower of old shoos.

And there in that hansom oafc wrfB leavw them

Addison 4 fioocoe, with the result that the interestsof theoe gentlemen in the great publishing house Itad been bought up, and that JSostaee ifeeaon was now the solo owner of the vast eonoern, whioh he intended to take under his personal supervision.

Now, aeoom] he had appointed to the post of both of os business and private affairs, and by Augusta, be was enraged in formally fadring over the keys from the head manager, who was known throughout the establishment as No. 1. "I wish to refer to tho author's agreementsof the early part of last year,' said Eustace.

No. 1 produced them somewhat sulkily. He did not like the appearance of this determined young owner upon the scene, with his free ana un-Meeson like ways.

Eustaoe turned tham over, and, while he did so his happv wife stood by him marveling at the kaleidoscopic changes in her circumstances. When last she had stood in that office, not a year ago, it had been as a pitiful suppliant begging for a few pounds wherewith to try and save her sister's life, and now

Suddenly Eustace stopped turning, and, drawing a document from the bundle, glanced at it. It was Augusta's agreement with Meeson & Co. for "Jemima's Vow," the agreement binding her to them for five years, which had been the cause of all her troubles, and, as she firmly believed, of her little sister's death. "There, my dear," said Eustace to his wife, "there la a present for you. Take itr

Augusta toe': the document, and, having looked to r- what it was, shivered as she did so. It brought the whole thing back so poinfi:' .' to her mind. "What shall I do with itf she asked "tear it upf "Yes," he rm :wered. "No, stop a bit," and, taking it from her, he wrote "Canceled," in big k-tters across it, signed and dated it. "There," he said, "now send to be framed and lazed, and it shall be here in the ofiioe, to show how thqy to do business at Meeson's."

No. 1 snorted, and looked at Eustaoe aghast. Whut would the young man be after neat? "Axe the gentlemen assembled in the halir asked Eustace of him when the remaining documents were put away again.

No. 1 sold that they were, sod, accordingly, to the hall they went, wherein were gathered all the editors, sub-editors, managers, sub-managers, of the varioos departments, clerks, and other employes, not the tome authors, who, a pale [y regiment, hwi been marched up thither from the Hutchea, and the tame artists with flying hair—and were now being marshalea in linee by No. 1, who had gone on before. When Eustaoe and his wife and John Short got to the top of the nail, whose some chairs had been sek the whole multitude bowed, whereon he begged them to be seated—a permission which the tame authors, who sat all day in their little wooden hatches, and sometimes a good part of the night also, did not seem to care to avail themselves of. But the tame artiste, who had, for the most part, to work standing, sat down readily. "Gentlemen," said Eustace, "first let me introduce yon to my wife, Mrs. Meeson, who, in another capacity, has already beea—not greatly to her own profit—connected with this establishment, having written the best work of fiction that has ever gone through our printing presses" [hore some of the wilder spirits cheered, and Augusto blushed and bowed "and who will. I hope and trust, write many even better books which we shall have the honor of giving to the world." [Applause. "Also, gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mr. John Short, my solicitor, who, together with his twin brother, Mr. James Snort, brought the great lawsuit in which I was engaged to a successful issue. And now I have to tell you why I hav« summoned yon all to meet me here. First of all, to say that I am now the sole owner of this business, having bought out Messrs. Addison & Bosooe" ["And a pood joh, too," said a voice] "and that I bopo that we shall work well together and, secondly, to inform you that I am going to totally revolutionize the oourse of business as hitherto practiced in this establishment" [sonsation], "having, with the assistance of Mr. Short, drawn up a scheme for that purpose. I am informed, in the statement of profits cm which the purchase prioe of tho shares of Messrs. Addison Bosooe was calculated, that the average net profits of this house during the past ten years havo amounted to fifty-seven and a fraction per cent, on the capital invested. Now, I navo determined that in future the net profits of,'any given undertaking shall be divided as follows: Ten per cent, to the author of the book in hand, and ten per oenU to the house, Then, should there be any further profit, it will bo apportioned thus: One-third—of which a moiety will go toward a pension fund—to the employee of the house, the division to be arranged on a fiaed scale"—(Enormous sensation, especially among the tame authors "and th* remainder to the author^ of the work. Thus, supposing that a book paid cent, per cent., I shall take ten per cent., and the employes would take twentv-six and a fraction per cent., and the author would take sixty-foxir per cent."

And here an interruption occurred. It came from No. 1, who could no longer restrain his disgust. "I'll resign," ho said Illreslgnl Meeson's oontent with ten per cent., when an author—a mere author—gets sixty! It's shameful—shamefull" "It you choose to resign, you can," said Eastaoe, ahaiply, "but I advise yon to take time to think It over. Gentlemen," went on Eustace^ "1 dare say that this seqcis a great change to you, but I mav as well say at once that I a&iSo wild philanthropist.

And then, amid a burst of prolonged end rapturous cheering, Eustace and his wife bowed, and were escorted out to the carriage that was waiting to drive them to Pompadour HalL

In half an hour's time they were reentering the palatial gates from which, less than a year before, Eustace had been driven forth to seek his fortune. There, on either side, were drawn up the long lines of menials, gorgeous with plush and powder (for Mr. Meeson's servants had never been discharged). "Good gracious!" said Augusta, glancing up the marble steps, "there are six of those great footmen. What on earth »ln»111 do with them all?" "Sack them," said Eustace, abruptly "the sight of these overfed brutes makes me sick!"

And then they were bowed in—and under the close scrutiny of many pairs of eyes wandered off with what dignity they could command to dress for dinner.

In due course they found themselves at dinner, and such a dinner! It took an hour and twenty minutes to get through, or rather the six footmen took an hour and twenty minutes to carry the silver dishes in and out. Never since their marriage had Eustace and Augusta felt so miserable. "I don't think that I like being so rich," said Augusta, rising and coming down the long table to her husband, when at last Johnson had softly closed the door. "It oppresses met" "So it doee me," said Eustace "and I tell you what it is, Gussie," he went on, drawing her on his knee "I won't stand having all those infernal fellows hanging round me. I shall sell this plaoe, and go in for something quieter."

And at that moment there came a dreadful diversion. Suddenly, and without the slightest warning, the doors at either end of the room opened. Through the one came two enormous footmen laden with coffee and cream, etc., and through the other Johnson and another powdered monster bearing cognac and other liquors. And there was Augusta sitting on Eustace's knee, absolutely too paralysed to stir. Just as the men came up she struggled

oft

somehow, and stood looking like

an idiot, while Eust aoe colored to his eyes. Indeed, the only people who showed no confusion were those magnificent menials, who never turned a single powdered hair, \mt went through their solemn rites with perfectly unabashed countenances. "I can't stand this," said Augusta, feebly, when they had at length departed. "I am going to bed I feel quite faint" "All right," said Eustaoe "I think that it is the best thing to do in this comfortless shop. Confound that fellow Short, why couldn't he oome and dineT I wonder if there ls any place where one could

"Oh, hang it all, no," said Eustace "think of the velvet curtains. I can't sit and smoke by mvself in a room fifty foet bv thirty I shall get the blues. No, I shall come upstairs, too, and smoke there."

And he did.' Early, very early In the morning, Augusta woke, got up, and put on a dressing gown. "Eustaoe," sho said to her sleeping spouse, "Wake up, I want to say something to you." "Eh! what's the matter?" said Eustaoe, yarning. "Bastaco, we are too rich—we ought to do something with all this money." "AH right," said Eustace, "I'm ayineable. What do you want to do?" "1 want to give awav a good sum*—sav two hundred thousand, that isnt much out of all you have—to found aa institution for brr':endown authors." "All right," said Eustaoe "only you must see about it, I can't be bothered By the way," he added, waking up a little, "you remember what the old boy told you when he was dying? I think that starving authors who have published with Meeson's ought to have the first right of election." "I think so, too," said Augusta, and she went to the buhl writing table to work out that scheme on paper wh'.ch, as the public Is aware, is now about to prove such a boon to the world of scribblers. "I say, Gussie!" suddenly said her husband. 'Tve just had a dream."

Weill" she said, sharply, for she was with her scheme "what is it?" dreamed that James Short was Q. C. and making twenty thousand a year, and that he had married Lady Holmhurst." "I should not wonder if that came true," answered Augusta, biting the top of her pan.

Then oame another pause. said Eustaoe, sleepily "are ppyr es, of oourse I am that is, I should be If it wasnt for thoee footmen and the stlrer water Ian." "I wonder at that," said her husband.

PRISCILLA spinning, long ago, sighs as she thinks how soon her linen Will lose its glossy luster, when the wash it once or twicc has been in. She does not know that in the soap the evil lies that makes her suffer. Its great excess of alkali, which cuts the fiber, makes it rouglfbr.

Our modern maidens need not sigh since IVORY SOAP has been invented, Containing no free alkali—by which the ruin is prevented. For linen washed with IVORY SOAP in snowy beautv'll ne'er diminish, But always, while it lasts, preserve its pristine gloss and lustrous finish.

A WORD OF WARXIXG.

There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory' they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon getting it.
