By my side was my old maiden aunt Sarah, so angular and upright that it made one's bones eche to look at her. And be yond her was my bousin Lucy, a girl of fourteen, of whom little could be seen but rod hair ns she sobbed behind her handker chief. Az4 for myself, I could pretend to no great grief for my almost unknown uncle, though, as the present head of the family, I had just attended to see him laid beneath the cold sod. But now my nttontion was rocniled to the reading, fur the recital of the property was at an end, and the disposition of it fullowed. "To John Jenkins, Silieitor of Cairmawr, and Howell Price, Esquire, of Penfwlln, upon the trusts, uses, intents, and purposes hereinafter mentioned—that is to say—" But d will be more merciful to the realer than the worthy solioitor and trustee was to us, and briefly explain the eccentric arrange ment, without the chaos of words in which ho had buried the meaning. They were to pay five hundred a year each to me and my cousin, and let the remaining five or six thousand accumulate till I was tweutyrfour. Then if I hat married tug cassia., or bad been rejected by her, the property was to vest absolutely in his "nephew and heir-at law, Evan Llewellyn Lloyd." If, on the other hand, I had not proposed, she was to have the estate; forfeiting it, however, by marriage with any other than a Lloyd, when it would pass to our cousin 0 cyan° Lloyd, as it would also in case of failure of issue to me or Lucy, whichever was the owner. Except the automaton reader, wo were_uli surprised by these strange conditions. The girl indulged in a giggle, which was qutoltly cut short by the sour old maid, who exclaim ed sharply, "Lull for shame!" twitobing away at the same time the sheltering hand kerchief. As I gam' upon the charms thus fully displayed, I felt that if sixty instead of six thousand a year were at stake, it ()mold not induce me to marry her. I have mentioned the delightful him of her dishevelled tresses; then she had no eyebrows or eyelashes, on less those whitish fringes were to bo digni fied by the name; she W•li as freckled as a toad, her eyes were pink, holips ptiffy; and sook a ;;aunt, graceless &pre was surely 70:ver seen before.

Bei.i.les, I wanted some occupation, and really liked the profession, so I resolved to follow it, and I worked away at the hospital as industriously as if I had hardly a penny to bless myself with. I wasj ust twenty at the time of my uncle's death, so there were four years to run Wore I resigned the family estates, for I had never wavered in my resolution. Meanwhile: I worked hard at my profession, and had no reason to be discontented with my success. did not make myself a slave, however, but entered freely into society, in which I hod a good footing through my emotions. I was well able to afford the espouse this entailed upon me, nod when the time drew near fur me to lose the five hundred a year, I found that my earnings would amply sup ply its place. About two mouths before the important day, I received a communication from Mr. Jenkins. Mesaid, that as trustee and family adviser, he felt it his duty to call my atten tion to my own inters/oh, and to point out that if I did not at once take steps to secure the estate, I might lose the chance forever. In reply I informed him that I did not in tend to not, which I told him merely for his own 4nforination, as the fact would speak fur itself. "NO ENTERTAINMENTIS SO CIIEAP AS READING, NOR ANY PLEASURE SO LASTING." power at present certainly, but her reign was not to last much longer. I was leaning over her at the opera one night, when suddenly my eye fell upon a girl in an opposite box. The effect upon me was electrical—such loveliness I had never seen before. A queirly and grace ful form, a handsome arm that would have driven a soulpuir to despair, a skin s 9 ex quisitely fair with its contrast to thestieep ing lashes and glorious tresses of dark, but richly colored brown hair, featUres perfect as a Grecian statue's, but full of life and warmth. And those eyes—they stirred my soul, as a more stray glance. 101 l upon we from that distance. Lady Clara saw my preocoupation and its causes. She quizzed me—rshe Criticised her rival unmercifully.. Iler hair was,,"au burn," her neck was so unnaturally white as necessarily to owe its smiw to art; her eyet so dark that she must hare, learnt a lesson from the East. It was a profanation, a sacrilege, I felt, and I lied f.om the boa with horror. Taking my seat in the stalls I gazed Upon her. I knew ovary face in society, nod this vision of heaven had never blessed my eyes before. Who could she be, and where could she have been hid? ller companiens afforded no elite, being equally unknown. They were utt elderly couple, not without a (tomtits look of dis tinction., but they had a somewhat old world air, as if they had been living in'o•im parative seclusion. In vain I made inquiries of men with the most extensive acquaintance; we were all alike puzzled. A formidable array of glasses was levelled upon her, but she un derwent the scrutiny with the most well bred composure. Again her glance met mine, and I felt, rather than SSW, that she perceived my admiration. I was gratified for, slight as it was, a kind of link seemed formed between us. Before the ballet was over they rose to go, and I hurried out to take my place on the stairs. As site passed me, I thrilled at the touch of her dress, and was bewil dered by the full b'aze of her beauty. Quietly I followed, and saw her handed to her carriage. She had not taken her seat, when the horses started. Iler arm, outstretched to save herself from falling, crashed through the window, and I saw the hi nd spurt lott in dark jets. An arte ry was rut. J sprang forward. "I am a surgeon," I cried: "I can stop the bleeding for the present, but drive home as quickly as possible." No one resented my lone of authority, and the carriage wheeled away with us.— A handkerchief and a Brobdignag silver penholder (dosigne I to look professional and for prescriptions and memoranda) formed a temporary substitute for a tourniquet. With the pressure of my thumb on the in jured vemsel, it sufficed to stop the flow. By the gasdight I could, just see that she leant back anti close 1 her eyes as if faint. "Are you suffering? flow does your arm feel now?" I asked gently. I had almost dreaded to hoar her speak, but her voice was music itself' as sho repli "My ar►is is quite c dd. Your hand seems to burn it." Well it might, fur tho touch of that soft smooth arm was sending the blood coursing through my veins at fever steed. Soon, Ohl so soon we drew up before the hotel. Clinging to my arm she ascended the stairs. I had atom by the way at the shop of a chemist I knew, and had procured all that was necessary. Quickly the wound was dressed, for it was a clean out present ing no .difftioulty. I went home, but I was positively in such a state of excitement that I could not sleep. This would nut do, for I had my work for the next day, so I took a sedative, which had the required effect. Perhaps I had rather overdosed myself, fur I did not awake till late. It was near midday before I reached the hotel. "They have gone,sir," said the waiter in reply to my inquiries; "but the gentleman left a note for you." I could hardly believe my ears. I felt as if I had received a sudden blow. Is was a cruel disappointment, but with a gleam of hope I opened the letter. It ran: "Dear sir—We had intended to leave town this morning, and your patient, thanks to your skill, felt so well, that she would not hear of a change of plan. She wished to leave the accompanying trifle as a sign that she Is not ungrateful. Indeed I cannot express our feelings of what we owe you. Yours sincerely, 11. L. Jones." Enclosed was a ring, a small cameo of no great intrinsic value, but I had seen it on her hand as I dressed the wound; so to me it was priceless. What delicacy this showed. Perhaps she bad seen that a fee would have pained me, wt,ile this memento• was unspeakably pre. Ilous. With renewed ardor I sought to trios her, but in vain I cross-examined the waiter. He only knew that they had been there two or three days, their name was Jones, and they came from Wales. The young lady muss be their daughter, for be bad heard them call her "my child."

Moro tkan a year passed away, and by degrees the impression made upon me wore off. I did not forget her, however, and my thoughts would not unfrequently turn to the fair unknown. Fur the moment I felt unutterably unable. to °Wart+ Lady Clara's badinage, so I oarefully avoided her for a month or two.— Naturally- this put an end ton flirtation which had been established on the principle of mutual amusement with limited liability, and 1 had not filed up the vacancy perma nently. I wandered about indeed with even more than my usual inconstancy. I think that the danger I had been in had given me a shook, and I could now feel thankful that the temptation had been re moved. .The memory made me difficult to please, and cautious against giving reins to my feelings. • It was autumn,. and London was a desert. Suddenly I remembered any friends, the Llewellyn!, had given me a warm invitation to' their place in Wales. I had not seen my native principality fur years, and I resolved to pay it a visit. To look at my engage ment book and see that I had nothing im portant to tie me, to make arrangements fur a substitute in ease of any emergency aris ing, was the work of ,an hour. I wrote a letter announcing my arriral, and had every thing packed in readiness to start next morning. As I travelel westward I found that muoh rain had fallen, and in ono place a torrent had washed away the rails. The consequence of this was an hour's delay and on my arrival at the terminus I found the coach had already started. There was, however, another later in the day, and I booked a place in it. The clouds now cleared away fur some hours, and I en joyed the drive, but presently another shower came on. The Liewellyns evidently bad not expect ed me by this conveyance, for when we reached the corner where the road to Llan dethryn branched off, there was no one to meet me. I bad my luggage taken into a cottage by the road-side till I should Bend fur it, and learning that I had only a mile to walk, I set off on foot with my umbrella. A quarter of a mile on I came to a little hamlet, but I did not pause, for I saw noth ing to ho gained by stopping. As I passed ono of the cottages, the dour opened, and out tript a quaint little being who appeared as molt at home in the rain ns if she wore a mermaid. Wrapped closely around her form was an ample re.l cloak, Iler dross, whatever it might be, was gathered up un der this drapery, leaving visible an esqui ritely shaped—well, ankle. She gave me one sly glance, and then tript on as unconcernedly as if a well-dressed, not altogether frightful London man was quite a common sight in the village. This, however, did not suit my notions, fur the glimpse I caught had convinced me she was pretty and lively. "Hem my pretty one!" I cried after her! "have part of my umbrella, if you are going toy %ray, unless you are a water•kel•piu." She stem short, and dropt n low courtesy. "ily cloak keeps me dry. If I have your umbrella you will be wet, look you," she sold, with that peculiar accent, which after my long absence seemed strange oven to my Welsh can'. "Nonsense?" I returned: "there is quite shelter enough for both, my dear, it wo keep close. here, take my arm." She took it with a roguish smile, oven while saying: "I feel afraid. You are a line gentleman, and I am only a poor village girl." "I never saw a lady with brighter eyes, or more beautiful hair," I said, taking up a tress of pure gold, Nrhioh straggled from beneath her picturesque head-dress. "There is no one I should like to have here instead of you—what is your name?" "Kitty, sir, so please you." "Kitten k should be, you frolicsome lit tle thing. Keep your eyes away, you sor ceress, you are bewitching me." She laughed a low, pleased laugh, that would not have been out of place in a Lon don boudoir. We had now come to a turbid steam cross ing the road. It was not deep, evidently, for there were tracks showing that carts and carriages passed through it, but there wu no perceptible passage for those on foot. "The stopping-stones aro covered!" the said, with a look of dismay, "what shall we do?" "Those pretty little feet shall not be wet, at all," I returned, "if I have to wade for it, but I think I can see the stones well enough to cross without that." caught her op in my arms, for she was os light as as a feather, and carried her across. "Now I must take toll," I said, suiting the notion to the word. I bad not set her down yet, and she could not resist. "now dare you, sir? lam very angry, look•you," she said, with a pout. "Well, I have looked, but I don't see It," I replied coolly; "if you were, you would be no ungrateful little baggage, for I am wet to the knees, so if it had not been for me, you must hove staid on the other side, or have had a rare dunking."

It wos one of the servants, then, with whom I bad been making love; but what of that, I thought, she was pretty enough to tempt an aohorite. My peal at the bell- quickly brought to the door a servant who admitted me into the hall. An open door led into a billiard-room, and Llewellyn hurried out to give me a cordial welcome. "how wet you must be," ho said: "you ought to change nt once, but my things would be too wide and short for you. Alt! I have it! Charlie will accommodate you; he has just your 'build." Cue in hand, Lord Charles Devereux, had quietly sauntered out after oug,host. I was delighted to find him here, for ho was great favorite with me. lie was not very bright certainly, but there was not a more warm-hearted, good•natured fellow in her Majesty's service, and ho was, as he de served to be, a universal favorite. "Why, Lloyd, old fellow!" he said: "I thought from your not turning up, you had been tooling the mail yourself, and spilling the concern. So you want some toggery— well, I dare say I can find you something." I had no doubt of it, fur dress was Qua of his strong points. "And there is the dressing bell!" exclaim ed Llewellyn, "so you have not too much time before dinner. Be off, both of you, and, mind, no goasipping up stairs like a couple of school girls." "I don't stir," I said, "till you promise not to wait dinner an instant for me. I neither wish to be hurried out of my wits, nor to be worried jay the thought that I am keeping you waiting." "Well, I promise," ho replied, "but be quick as you can. L )ok your best though, for I have two such killing damsels here.— You and Charlie must toss up to dooide which each of you is to confine his attentions to, or you will be at daggers drawn." It was some time before I could get com fortably dry, try hair and whiskers espe cially being like a sponge. When I entered the dining-room they were seated at the table, and I went to the head of it to greet my hostess, a charming woman still in the prime of beauty, a mldel English matron with the single fault of being an inveterate match-maker. After welcoming me she turned and in troduced me to Miss Lloyd, and Miss Cath erine Lloyd. 1 started, and my heart heat wildly; fur there before me we. my friend of the Opera. In an instant the old fever had returned. I was enthralled anew. And, to my joy, I saw that her recognition was also inmate newts, that there was a smile on her lip and a faint glow on her cheek, as I sprang for ward to take her hand. "S., you know each other already," ex claimed Mr.!. Llewellyn: "Ah, Mona, he Is tho surgeon who dressed your wound. Why did you not tell mo so?" "1 did not know you were friends," she replied calmly, having perfectly regained her composure. "You Cl) not recognise me, though we also have mot," said a laughing voice at my el bow. It was another surprise for me, for there eat the supposed peasant girl. But after the first shoek nothing o.luld move me, and I replied coolly, "Ah, the Kitten! I told you I should soon find you out." "What, another mystery!" sail Llewel- lyn. "I went to the village when the sun came out," she resumed, and I borrowed Nannies cloak to come bank through the rain, or I should have been late for dinner. Mr. Lloyd gave me half his umbrella, taking me all the time for a village girl." "You acted the part admirably." I said, "and seemed bent on turning the fine gen tleman's bead." An overpowering sense of Mona Lloyd's beauty was filling my whole being, and I was immeasurably vexed at finding myself drawn into this boasting conversation with her cousin. But very different from my usual habit, which was to parade my devo tion, I now had an eager wish to hide what I was experiencing. Still, whenever I could do so unobserved, I stole a glance at Mona. And snob look tightened, if possible, the Asia that was binding me. Soon after we rejoined the ladies, "the Kitten" challenged Charlie to a game ,of billiards, and they left the room, Presently they returned with an appeal for a decision on some knotty point, to unravel which the Llewellyn accompanied them to the billiarl room. I was left alone with Mona, and I positively trembled as I approached her. "I received your ring," I said, "and I value it duly. I t has never left my finger since." "Nol not I was almost ashamed to offer it to you," she replied, "but it would serve to show that I appreciated your Madam." "I base given direesions about it In my will—for into be buried with me," I added in reply to her look of inquiry. • - The soft air of timidity, the fleeting blush, filled me with transport. "Why did you leave without giving me the least clue?" I asked more tenderly.

As I fastened the snap my eye fell upon the white Beam slightly marring the symmetry of an arm which Ilebe's oould not rival. "You will always carry that mark," I said. "How the sight of an injury to you pained mel" As / spoke +I pressed the scar with my fevered lips. Instantly I was aroused from my happy dream, for her arm was snatched away, and her glorious eyes dashed fire. How could I have imagined she had any tender feeling for me? her oonfusiun must have sprung from annoyance. The days flew by at Llandethryn, for if I was not happy, I was the next beet thing to it, always excited. Daily my infatuation became greater. I would have willingly torn myself away but I had not the power. Yet I cherished an insane self-delusion, a mere tatter of a belief, that no one saw what was going on, and to keep up this ig norabee I abstained from any manifestation of a preference for Mina. But with all the unreasonableness of human nature, I was pained when she seconded any efforts, shunning me and shrinking from me, as was too often the case. At such times I would fall book upon "the Kitten," who gave me a ready but half-mocking welcome. Presently I found that there was some thing like this in the case of Devereuz. lle too drew near Mona with a kind of timidity, as if he dreaded that each advance might be repulsed. With the Kitten he seemed on the contrary, quite at ease, and their lively sallies often wound up with a regular romp. And I, judgirg Crow my own feelings, im agined that our eases were the same—that lie felt no more than friendship for the Kit ten, while he loved Mona. Still worse, I sometimes gnashed my teeth with frenzy, as I thought she might return his affection. One of the worst features is the easit*is that Devereux never uttered a word to me on . the subject, (hough *fiery night ho smoked his oigar in my bed4oom, and chat ted with his usual simple frankness. He was just the man to rely implicitly upon the advice of some friend, and for a long time now ho had done me the honor of set ting me in the post of Mentor. But one night he broke through title un natural silence. After fiercely puffing away at his cigar fur a quarter of an hour without speaking. he suddenly blurted out "I can stand this no longer! Lloyd, old fellow, I am district edly in love with your beautiful namesake, I feel I shall be worth nothing without bar. Here I am longing, and longing, but without the pluck to ask. Sometimes I think she will have me, but the next minute I despair. She is so beautiful, so clever and wares hearted, that I feel she is too good for a poor devil like me. What do you say, old fellow? Shall I make the attempt or net? At least it would put me out of my misery." I pondered before I replied. If I let him suspect the truth, his loyalty of heart would make him shrink from paining me, but to act upon this belief would be to take abase advantage of his noble generosity. Yet I could not be expected to sign the death-wur rant of my own hopes. "She is all that you say," replied at length: "and if she waits fu: a Map lobo deserves her, she will have to look far. ' I cannot advise you, for you must :knoir best on what footing you stand: Sit this I will say—if she has given you any decided en couragement, you may venture safely, for I am convinced oho would not play with your heart." lie mused for a momelit, and then replied: "Well, she has given me undoubted encour agement at times, so I will take your ad vice, for, as you say, she is too noble . to-play fast and loose with me. You and her cous in will be the first whose congratulations I shall claim. By the by, why don't you take up with the other? Yon seem really to like each other, and then we should be connect ed?" "Stuff!" I roared. "If I was the only man left on earth, with all womanhood to choose from, I would not marry. I value my freedom too much to sell myself to slavery." Ilia complacent pioturo of Mona '. un• doubted encouragement and his claiming our congratulations, had treated me beyond bearing. But the good natured fellow only opened his eyes In wonder - at this new ow linen of my "strange ways," as he called them, without noticing that my tirade was anything kat ocmpliinenAary to jaisfself. Presently, finding that I iids In no mood for chat, he took himself off and left me in peace. Peace do I sae Ay, such woe as there is in purgatory. I was gluing the nut morning after breakfast writing a letter in the library. when Devereux burst into the room. His face, generally calm, but now radiant with delight, told ma hie errand at once. "Congratulate me, old fellow!" he shout ed: " she has sompted me, end I am the happiest, luckiest dog alive."
