Mr. Thomas Hilbury is tlio junior prtner in tlio great firm of lJlllmry, ISIacktlioi'iio & Co., tra morcliants, of Calcutta ami Lontlon. Tho senior partiRT is Mr. Joscjili Hilbury his father, who has a very nice house at Kcw, ami until a year or two ago there was a third member of the firm in tho person of Thomas' undo, Mr. Habbing ton Ulaekthoine, t'io Calcutta repre sentative of tho establishment. JJut unfortunately, Mr. Hlackthorne, liko many Knglishmen who live in India, drank so much Scotch whiskey and Ha9s' ale, and ato too much curry and too many "Bombay ducks ;" tho re sult beinjr that at tho ago of 55 his liver declined to bear tho strain put upon it, and collapsed, leaving its own er so weak and ill that he had barely time ero ho died to telegraph to his partners iu England a brief notico of his impending fate. This alarming despatch arrived at a particularly in opportune moment. Mr. Thomas IJil bury had on the day previous married a very charming young lady, Lydia Lanples by name, and tho intelligence of ins unclo's sad condition necessitat ed that tho newly-mado husband who, by the way, had only become ac quainted with his brido about six weeks before marriage should with out a moment's delay tako tho train for Dover, cross to Calais, and thence go by tho quickest route to Calcutta. Tho affair was pressing. Mr. Hlack thorno's death would certainly throw tho business into confusion, and any hesitation on tho part of tho English partners might imperil the future of tho firm. "Go at once, my dear boy," wroto Mr. Joseph Hilbury to his son, who was in the Isle of Wight, "and send jour wife to me. I will lake care of her, and see her settled in your new homo at Itichmond. I would go my self, but my gout won't allow me. And above all things, take care of your liver.'' There was no help for it. Mr. Hil bury, Jr., felt that ho must go ; so go lie did, putting the best face on the matter, and bidding a very long and tender good-byo to his poor littlo wife. Ho escorted her across to Ponrtsmouth, put her in a London train, kissed her, saw her off, and then took tho next train for Dover. She settled down in her now home on Richmond Hill ; and ho for many months afterward worked hard at his desk in Calcutta, arranging tho world ly affairs of his dead uncle, and from time to time sending homo reports of his progress, and lovo letters to Lydia. Two years, in fact, elapsed ero he was able to return to England ; and then ho returned, as ho had goiio out, at a moment's notico. Unfortunato circumstances suddenly left him free ; anil unwilling to loso a day, ho took tho first homeward-bound steamer. which, so it happened, was also taking to Itichmond a letter written a few days earlier, in which Mr. Bilbury, among other matters, regretted to his wife that the pressure of business would not leave him at liberty for at least a month. Ho traveled home without adventure. landed in duo course at Dover, arrived in London late at night, and, without having written a won! of warnini' to Lydia, hurried on next morning to Richmond Hill. Why ho did not write or telegraph wo cannot say; per haps he thought his sudden appear ance would agreeably surnrise his wife ; or perhaps ho was too excited to bo able to think at all. But in anv case, ho neither wroto nor telegraphed i niugiu uiu oi preparation. it was a lino sunny morning in sum mer; Mr. Thomas Bilbury lias scarce ly Been his new home, which ho had taken in a hurry immediately before his wedding ; and ho was walking eagerly up tho short carriago drive leading to the houso when, happening to cast his gaze toward the upper win dows, he caught sight of a lair, white draped figure which was watering some flowering plants that stood in a row on tho sill. He at onco recogniz ed tho figuro as that of his wife, and was about to utter a cry of salutation when ho suddenly became conscious that she did not recognize him, for with graceful modesty she withdrew from tho window and disappeared as soon as sho becamo conscious that be was watching her. An idea struck him. It was a foolish but not wholly unnatural one. Ho would pretend to bo some ono else a friend, say, of her husband's, and would ask to seo her as such. Of course sho would at onco recognizo his voice ; but then tho sur prise, and tho consequent pleasure, would bo more complete if he deferred them. He knocked, therefore, at tho door, and to tho servant who appeared announced that ho had just returned from India and desired to seo Mrs. Bilbury. Ho gavo no name, but lie was admitted and shown into tho drawing-room, where, iu some pertur bation of mind, bo awaited the advent of tho wifo from whom ho had been so long and cruelly separated. "I suppose that sho will know me,'' ho reflected, as ho stood with his back to tho wiutlow ; "but it is true- that I have grown a tolerably big beard sinco I went away, and that I havo becomo considerably tanned. How- 1 1 . i -l . uver, mo ucaru ougnt to mako no great difference. I supposo that sho would know ino if sho saw mo in rav shirt sleoves, or with both legs cut off at tho knees. On tho other hand, sho ii Tr .in s . iiiiiks i am still in Calcutta, for she must have had my last letter this morning. I hope my sudden niiiiear anco hero won t upset her. I must bo carelul. Hero his thoughts were switched nsitlo by the unmistnkablo sound of rustling skirts in tho passago without ; and as tho door oponed ho involuntari ly turned and gazed into tho garden, at tno samo iiino coughing nervously. muy i oner voti a ciiairi lam afraid that you find tho open window too muoh for you," said a soft voico uvmmi nun, '0 no ; not at all 1" ho returned, lacing lus wife for an instant, and thou hastily resuming bis survey of 1 1 in iinieii. Mrs. Bilbury did not in tlio lean i i... .s i . order a lire to bo lighted, she urged, "Oh not not for worlds 1" elimnliit ed Tom, as ho turned slowly round, uuiiauiuurj tit, mat, mat even nu nervous ness was no excuso for his rudeness 1883. "But tho fact is, Mrs " "My namo is Mrs. Bilbury I" "Oh 1 thank you yes I The fact if, Mrs. Bilbury, that I nm not yet ontirc ly reconciled to this nboniinal English climate. Iah that is to say, a man who has existed in groves of mango ah and lias lived on ourrv nnd chut- nee ah with tho thermometer stand ing doggedly at a hundred and two in tho shade, is ah ; but I daro say you understand." "Oh, perfectly, Mr. I think I havo not the pleasure of knowing your name." "Who am II" thought Mr. Thomas Bilbury. "My name,' ho said, after a slight pause, '-is Tilbury." t "What a curious similarity 1" said his wife. "Yes ; I can readily believe that pcoplo coming homo from India find tills climato very trying at first, oven in summer. My husband writes that tho heat in Calcutta has been ex cessive. Possibly, Mr. Tilbury, you may have called to givo mo some news of him T I hopo so. I thought that his last letter was not written in very good spirits." "That is satisfactory," thought Mr. Bilbury. "Tho lapse of two years has not altered her love fur me." "Yes," hu said aloud ; "I can give you some news of him, for, a month ago, I was at Calcutta." "Indeed t How delightful 1 Do sit down, Mr. Tilbury. It is very pleas ant to meet any one who has seen my husband so recently, for I gather from what you say that you have seen him. How was hot" Mr. Bilbury was this time muoh ex ercised in his mind as to what to say next. On the ono hand he was afraid to declare himself for fear of frighten ing his wifo ; on tho other, ho rather enjoyed the situation. He, therefore, determined for the present to retain his incognito.
