'"MAN PROPOSES."

Old Norton and old Berton had made the name of "Norton, Berton & Co.' Bankers," a synonym for security. They had also built up the

two

magnificent for

tunes which their profligate sons occupied themselves most assiduously in spending. The old men were both dead now, but "Co." was alive, and on poor "Co." devolved the running of the business, for the present senior" partners were almost unknown to the office. These latter were rather inclined to be of the "fast" sort, and although their knowledge 01 the banking business was limited, let it be said to their credit that in the scientific game of billiards they were most proficient. The fair sex spoke of them in awe-stricken tones as "very wild," and yet, judging from the number of matrimonial traps set for them, this was not considered as a particularly derogatory characteristic. They (which word. I beg leave to btate, is a personal pronoun referring to Jes6C

Norton and Charley Berton) had been classmates at college, where, to use the classic vernacular of that seat ot learning —they had "run together." and being of thorough congenial tastes and habits, friendship had outlivea their graduation

^jesieNorteif^as the elder, and probably had a little more of that commodity entitled common sense." Conipared to the other he was quiet. He was not however, one of those model young men who implicitly follow the old maxim to "think twice b:fjre you act." He generally thought once.

Charley Berton never thought at all. He was of the genus "good fellow," and was universally ked, impulsive, lighthearted, generous to a fault. But there were deeper elements in his character than showed themselves on the surface. He was a true friend, but could hate as welLaslove. In spite of his dandyism and wild wajs, hi? old grey-headed father had often said, "There's some good in Charley Berton."

The reader, gentle or otherwise, will pardon my introducing him or her into such a scene of confusion as was presented by the rooms of our friends one pleasant morning in early summer.

Nortoq, who was reclining on a sofa, with a cijjar in each hand, manufacturing rings of smoke with a zeal which was commendable, suspended his occupation a moment to ask: "Charley, do you really intend to marry that Montague girl?" "S'doso I'll have to," he answered with a confessional air. "Well, it has always been a kind of understood thing, you know, ever since Nelly and I made mud pies together, that we'd be married some day, but I never regularly engaged myself till last

"V^hat did you do that for?" "Had to—old woman inquired after my intentions—wanted toknow if I was trifling with an ihnocent girl's affections, and all that sort of thing. I got scared, and proposed," exclaimed Charley, punctuating his remarks with puff*

of.

smoke.

"I don't mind it much, though," he volunteered, in continuation, except the old woman. I'd -as soon marry a pretty little girl like Nel'.y, but I don't like to marry the whole family. "What will become of me?" asked

I "Get married yourself." "Thank you I don't care for any of that pie." "Well," and Charley lit a fresh cigar. "Do as you please, then I'm not your keeper." "The idea ol ^eng married at twentytwo. Break it off, Charley you're not old enough." "The deuce I" exclaimed ChaHey. This was the unkindest cut of all. He had been called young. Further than this, his first exclamation, he said nothing, but relapsed into taciturnity, thinking, "what a confounded ass Norton made of himself this morning."

Neither of the party felt in sufficiently good humor to carry on an animated quarrel, consequently nothing was said for some time, until Charley who had 1een gazing abstractedly out of the window, became suddenly interested in something outside. "Look here, Jess. Who is that girl?" he said. "Don't you know her? I thought everyone knew her." "Why?" ~'4 "Because she is talked about a deal." S "You have not told me who *et." "Jcssfe, Corson—the artist's d«ugu ter." .... "Know her?" "Only by sight." "How his she distinguished herself,

Jess?" Norton puckered up his lips. "Don't ask me,M he said. "Ask the gossips. They say she's rather forward, I believe. YoU ought to hear the old wo men talk." "Blank the old women," said Charley. "Spiteful old crones. She is the prettiest girl I ever saw." And Charley atroked his blonde moustache approvingIv. "She has pretty name," admitted Norton. "Your name—yes. Yeu ought to marry her." "Some poor fellow will be tied down to her pretty soon, I suppose," said Nortpn sarcastically.

Charley was still smarting over being called "young." A sudden idea struck him. Here was his revenge. ^If I have my diplomacy," he thought, "Jesse Norton shall be that same poor tellow." He said the rest aloud. "He don't jneed pity." .! For the two days succeeding this con* venation, Mr. Charles Burton had all the ..appearance of a person with an object in life. He was twicc seen in an undeniable 'hurry. These symptoms of excitement in one of such constitutionally lafy tem perament naturally excited curiosity and 'concern.

On the third day he entered Norton's ^apartments with a superlatively bored air, advantageously showing off his pow «n as an actor. "I can't stand this weather any longer, less. Let us go somewhere and rusticate."

Norton laughed. I thought you had eftough rustication -during your college days. ,Where do you want to go?" & "Anywhere! What do you say to

New England! Boston by water?" Charley said.

All right. How soon?" "Boat leaves in an hour. Not much time."

I will draw the curtain over the scene which ensued. Suffice it to say that our friends reached the boat just three seconds before it started.

In due course of time supper was announced, at which meal Norton felt his arm suddenly and violently nudged. "By jove! look down at the other end of the table," said the nudger.

Norton looked. Next to the Captain sat Miss Corson "Same girl we were talking about the other day." "Yes," saidrNerton. "Quite a^, coincidence."

The nudger smiled. When, after supper, they went on deck, they found Miss Corson was before them. The sun was ju6t about setting. It passed below the horizon like an immense molten .ball slowly sinking into the 6ea.

She stood up and Looked, "Isn't it grand she said. "Quite imposing," answered Charley, with cool impudence.

She turned with an air of surprise. "I beg vour pardon, sir, I thought it was the Captain that was behind me," she said, with a smile and so simply that Charley felt more strangely than he ever had before.

He retired in confusion. "I will get an introduction," he said to himself. I thought no woman could embarrass me, but she knocked me over with aglance.— Norton has had such deuced little experience with women she will tangle him before we get to Boston., I know I might tjet caught myself, if I was not already mortgaged."

In the saloon he found the Captain. "You are acquainted with the young lady on,deck, forward, are you not?" he asked, .f f&r, "You mean Miss Co'rson. Yes." "You will oblige me greatly by inquiring whether she will form the acquaintance of Norton and my6elf."

Agreeably with thi6 request the Cap sain consulted the young lady. The young lady '.'would be most happy," and the ceremony was performed with all due decorum and formality, and with as much grace as possible under the circumstances.

After the trio had comformed with the ancient and time honored custom of sta ting their opinions of the weather, and the necessary and proper remarks had been made relative to the rolling

The saccharine nature of his revenge was not, however, reflected in his coun tenance. His expression was anything but sweet.

There was a little thought he was try ing to keep back which said, "If I only had met her a year ago." He felt like sighing. 4

When he returned he found Norton greatly entertained- by Miss Carson's bright remarks. "We thought _vou had fallen over board," she said to him. •'You appear to be in a remarkably good humor about it," he replied. "It's 6uch a pleasant disappointment to see that our suspicions weie untrue.''

On their arrival at Avonville, a pleas ant little village, with a small, old-fash-ioned, but well-kept inn, they found Mr Corson seriously ill. However, two days of his daughter's gentle treatment brought him to a state oi convalescence. It was arranged on rather short notice, that the party, with the addition of one of Miss Corson's fiends, who would join them in a week, should make a flying visit through New England, and then go to Eurooe until winter. "We'll have a jolly time," Miss Cor son said. She would not tell the name of the friend who was to join them. "If you knew her, you would like her al ready if you dont, you will like her when you. do," was the rather ambiguous answer the young men got to their repeated inquiries.

On the fourth day of their stay the artist went out to make some sketches of the beautiful scenery in the neighborhood. His daughter accompanied him with her book, but soon straj ed away and was separated. Our masculine friends, firm believers in the maxim that "the early worm gets caught," arose at eleven and strolled out for a smoke, Rambling aimlessly through the woods, they finally emerged through an open space, and found themselves at the hot torn of a quarry, and in the presence of a scene which baffled their understand ing. K'-i#.?.:.

At one end of the quarry, which was some a00 feet long, was huddled togeth era crowd of the workmen, pale with terror and alrrost speech less—their eyes rivited in fixed intensity on the furthest wall of the immense granite basin which they stood. Norton had just per petrated a witticism, but the laugh died awav on his Hps.

MVhat is the. matter?" he asked, has tily. The men looked fiercely at the "city swell," whom they hated, but one of them, forgetful of small animosities, in the supreme terror of the moment, took him by the arm. "Look," he said, "there's the largest blast in five yean—it will be off in a minute. God help the lady!"

Charley looked. In the extreme end of the quarry, on a ledge some thirty feet

the

ship, "are you traveling alone Miss Corson?" asked Norton. "Yes. A few days ago papa went to a little quarry village in New England, called Avonville to stay one day. After he arrived there I heard he was sic\', and as I left in two hours I did not have time to find an escort." "You shall have two, Miss Corson, if you will honor us," said Charley, gallant ly.

Oh, thanks." But I couldn't think of taking you both away from your busi ness1" 3

Business!"• Charley laughed. 'That's just what we are running away from. We are on a rambling pilgrimage through New England. Why shouldn't we go to Avonville?" "Your proffered escort, then, is very thankfully accepted," she said with smile. the conversation drifted on, one subject suggesting another, Charley, with what he fondly imagined was tact, gradually withdrew', and finally, making some excuse, left them. "I'll give them an hour alone to fall in love," he thought. "My plan will work well Njrton will have a fine wife, and I sweet revenge. He said I was a fool to engage myself perhaps he will prove of the same kind."

it-

He saw it all in a moment. "The Carson girl, by George." A bucket of drinking water stood near him. Seizing this in a moment he was over the intervening space, and just below the blast at the foot of the incline. The workmen, strong rough men, who knew the terrible agency he was about to defy, thought him mad. The silence in the quarry was deathly—no one spoke they scarcely breathed momentarily they expected to see launched into eternihat couple—the one so unconscious her peril, the other so fearlessly trying to save her. Only the footsteps of the climber were heard, with their ghastly echoes reflected from the granite walls. The slope trom the bottom was quickly mounted, until he stood eight feet from ihe charge, at the foot of a perpendicular wall. Here he paused a moment. There wac no crack or crevice in the wall the treacherous fire above could be seen slowly ciawling toward the blast. A half minute more and all would be over. He was thinking how to act he was only smoking his cigar, but what a shiver that wreath sent t6 the heart of the strongest who watched. A moment only he paused, then placed the bucket at his feet, stood* on it, and stretching his body to the utmost reached the top, hooked his feet in the bucket handle, and, with a strength he had never known before, drew himself and the bucket up, until he stood quietly over the burning fuse. Stooping he poured a mere cupful of water on the powder, and it was out. He had saved her life

The workmen, God bless their honest souls, went mad. Cheer after cheer went up, such as those old stones had never heard before. The hated "city chap" of yesterday was the hero of to-day. Poor fellow! he was martyr to their enthusiastic admiration. Finally, Norton came to the rescue, and he escaped with that individual.

When the two friends were alone to gether they clanped hands as old friends only clasp. "Charley, it was a noble act," was all that Norton said. "Do-o-n't, Jess you'd have done the same, if you'd been in front

They walked along together, puffiihg their cigars in silence. "Don't say any thing about that now said Charley, when they were seated, 'not to her at any rate—I mean Miss Ccrson—I hate gratitude—our whole summer's fun would be spoiled." "All right. "If you don't want me to I won't," answered Norton, rather surprised. "Thank you Jess," said the other heartily.

When the young men had left, the quarrymen looking for Mies Corsoi), saw she was gone. That youn^ lady had been awakened by the shouting, and not knowing but what they weie making fun of her, and suddenly remembering that she was in a position which some of her backbiting friends who would like to criticise her actions, would style unladylike, quickly made her way back as she had come.

Norton kept his promise. The week slipped by, and Miss Corson never knew how near death she had been, nor how bravely Bhe had been rescued.

Un the last evening, Charley found himself sitting alone with her on the inn porch. The lady who was to join the party w£s momentarily expected. He felt slightly nerxous, almost bashful. He had lost a great deal of his confidence in himself since he had met this "forward girl." He could not flirt with her.

She started the conversation. "Your curiosity about our future companion will soon be satisfied, Mr. Burton." "Can't you tell me, so that I may be prepared, he asked.

Before she had time to reply, however, a sudden thought struck him. "O! of course I know who it is," he said "how stupid of me not to have guessed it beiore. Your mother, of course, I will expect in a minute to see—" but he stopped something in her face made him do so. "My mother is dead," she said, in a low voice. .'C: "O! excuse *my darelessriess," Charley said, hastily.

An awkward silence ensued. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Jessie's last speech was in such a changed tone as to have made him start. "I was but two years old when she died, so I remember very little of her, —she was lyin£ in bed, and papa stood beaide her, crying she kissed me a great many times, and said: 'Take care ot my child, Ben,' and I thought she went to sleep I did not know what dea* was."

Charley said nothing. He did not know what to say. There was something in his throat which he could not

cough upL I often wish I had a mother," she went on "I might be abetter girl but papa is very kind. He thinks I look like mamma, and until he came here, we have never been separated tnore than one day. He has been my only »chool teacher." She paused again, and then returned again to her old gay style. "How I am boring you," she said. "No, indeed please go on, I am yery much interested, said Charley.

Hush I" said she. "Listen In the next room to them the shrill voice of a child was relating what had happened at the quarry. Not a detail war omitted, not a syllable was loot to the couple on the porch.

When the story was told, she turned to him, half crying, half laughing, and held out her hand. He took iL "Is it true, Charley?" she asked. She had never called him Charley before. "Yes, I—" "You need not make any excuses. 1 know how bravely you did U. I don't know how to thank you."

She stopped. He was holding her band very tightly, and the hand, she knew, was throbbmg as if there was a steam engine in it. &he tried to release it, but he held it tighter still. ••You have my hand, Mr. Berton," she Mid, looking him in the face. What she

above the level of the quarry bed, a young lady in white was lying adeep, with a hook half fallen from her haiid she had evidently come down from the road but a few feet above, and the workmen under the ledge had not seen her not more than two yards beneath her tha^nake-like.fuse, much longer than usual, to gurd against danger from the large blast, trailed its lenth over the rocks.

"You have my heart, Jessie," he said with-an earnestness that made her heart throb till she was well nigh choked. The "forward" girl was modest now. She was trembling all over. But she did not try to take her hand away. Ah! that little hand it was his hand now, and her heart was with it. They were happy, indescribly and sup-emely happy.

All human joys are fleeting. They were reminded of the fact by hearing the latch ot the gate lifted. Messis. Norton and Corson entered, accompanied by a very pretty young lady. Charley's hair stood on end. It was Nelly Montague.

When Jesse was about to introduce them, Nellie remarked that she thought they were acquainted and did not need an introduction." and Charley was just sufficiently recovered to stammer out something about having "met the lady before."

During the rest of the evening he sat in a corner and confined his conversation to monosyllables. He was thinking. At night he told Norton all. "Go to 6leep, Charley," said that individual. "Put your trust in Norton, and he will fetch you through."

Comforted by this assurance, he resigning himself to the denizens of dreamland without further remark.

When he arose at noon the following day he found that Norton and'Nellie had taken a walk together, as had also Mr. Carson and l.is daughter. Charley succeeded after some time in finding the latter couple. Jessie had just told her father of what had happened, and the latter had finally consented to her marriage. Consequently, a few minutes afterward, when they met the other party in the wood, she said: 'Allow me to introduce Mr. Charles Burton in a new character, as my future lord and master." "And allow me to introduce the future Mrs. Norton," said the gentleman of that name, presenting Nettie Montague.

As soon as he recovered his amaze ment, Charley advanced, and held out his hand te Nellie. "We were both un true," he said, "as lovers, but as friene6 we will be the opposite." •'And the trip to Europe?" said the artist. "We'll put that off a year." "Are you not anxious to admire the works of art there?" "I prefer nature," he said, significantly taking Jesse's hand again.
