They were on the piazza of Rowe's
Hotel. .It was afternoon, the place ,
was crowa lmy,ded with promenaders, the
air was b and the sun ving
down behind the hills, leaving the
sky radiant with golden light.
Harley made some boyish reply,
and the flirtation continued.
'Who is that girl?' asked a lady of
a gentleman as they passed the hand
some cadet and his companion.
'She is the wealthy Miss Levering,
of New York the prife of Colonel
Houghton, who, on ng, le ft her a
fortune. Me is co risi ered beautifid
but there Is something about her e
cannot admire. Besides—'
Theconversation became more con
fidential.
'Come,' said Harley, 'will you
walk over to the library' building? I
want to show you thepleturra—'

they craned the green sward.
Harley looked surprised, but said
nothing, 'and she rattled on.

'I think it would hardly consent to
that neat arrangement,' replied Hur

She tapped him on the arm with
her tin.
'Monster!' she said, giving him a
lookout of the corners of her eyes
which was intended to mean, 'Oh;
you dear delighthl fellow I' and
which made Haley's heart palpi

was somewhat shocked at

away without any farther inspection

path, past the chapel. Twilight WAS

She extended her hand warmly,

Harley alone in the moonlight filled
with conflicting emotions.
Harley did not sleep that night.
He tossed restlessly hour after hour,
thinking over his interview with-
Mite Levering. `She must llke

Harley felt sure Miss Levering liked
him very much—for had she not ask
ed him to be her Mend—and had he
not accepted the trust—and would he
not fulfill it nobly'
He fell asleep at last and dreamed
of her—dreamed that she called him
'Dow Harley,' and told him that she
loved him, and awoke with a start
just as the reveille sounded.

'Who is that man? asked Howley,

'That man, as you are pleased • to .

. Harley drew back slowly, his
hands fell to his side, and for a mo

looking at me archly over her imp,
"that you would willingly compel
the wife of Your bosom to live In a
smaller and cheaper structure than
this? .Ito vousreally?"
"No, no?' said I, "and indeed Ifl_
were to think of buildingacheap cote,
tage where is the money to mss
from?' and then I groaned auffildr
over the afortedd 'corner.'
" Well," said she, "I am glad you
are still a devoted husband, not In the
kind disposed to play the tyrant; but
would it not be well now that we are
*
o the subject to eee if there is not
e way open to liberty ? For my
I wonkl like to walk orer a
o ground which we could our
Own. Do you know that I never
tared anything about flowers here.
It is not. because I em not Mad , of
flowers, as you well know, but it, are
p~aars so rediculous to be cultivating
if on rented ground. , How I
would like to be the mistress ofa lit.
tle yard, and then the 'dowers would
be my own."
The factls my wife ''h ad been al:
ways talking after this manner. She
wanted Me to build a house even the'
It had but one room. And so I an
swered her: "Yes, yea, but where
is the money to come than?" and
again I thought of the 'corner.'
"Well," said she. "Ole is the first
time you ever seemed to reeo
eye with me as to 'love in a " ""'S" '
When
When the thousand dollars were In
the bank you insisted that we had sot
enough ; now that the half is gone I
my that we still have enough to be
gin with, and my feeling Is "strike
for your altars and your fires.""
' By this time we were thrsiugb tea,
and takings cigar from off the man
, tel, I sat down in my eusy chair,
twined buck, took two or three whit&
of smoke, and said to her: " My dear,
will you be kind enough to inform
me how I shall go to work to build a
house for five - buydred skaters?"
In the meantime she had drawn a
stool to my feet, and was sitting look=

up at me, her rosy and histrottie
flee beautiful In the gas light. It
had been difficult from, the first for
me to withstand that ewe. 1 believe
I had never yet refused any request
of hens wive to abandon my cigars
and build a cottage, and now 1 felt
my. time bad come, and ao I pulled

" its," sand 1, " but you Comet 1.1. ;

"Stop," said she; pulling with lie:

We shall be utile to replace the moie

"Yea," said I, knotking the mile.

"Look here," mid she. "We now.

This amount, at Ist, we shall save

"Yea, yet," said I, "and such *
house.as we shall have—oh, dear!"
Well, I was influenced by . my good
little wife. We weal down one sou
shiny :day and looked at the lots anti
closed a bargain, and in the spring
our house was cofinnenced, and ready
for occupancy before the first of May.
It Was not so l a rge a cottage as the
one we had left; there was nor.ts,
and I had myself heiped_to dig a.

'exhilaration of Galling on getting sate

too, had cost more than we antielpts
ted by rixi, so that WO were
on the house alone rfUO on moving
in. I felt quite uneasy over this del , :
the first night. This feeling quick!;•
passed off, and as we toputou t
