FRIDAY, JUNE 1,
SELECT STORY.
A DRAWING BOOM COMEDY.
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

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

"Oh, perfectly, Mr. I think I

"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

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.
"Ho was," ho said, with deliberato
hesitation, "as well as could bo expect
ed." 1
"As well as could bn expected !'' re
pealed Mrs. Bilbury, with alarm. "Do
you mean that ho has been ill 1"
"Well, not exactly ill," prevaricated
Tom, who had not made up his mind
as to what ho should say.
"But I do not understand you. Tell
me, please. What has happened to
him ?"
Mr. Bilbury wondered what tho end
would be. Ho heartily wished that
his wife would recognize him and set
tle the difficulty by throwing her arms
around his neck.
"Nothing very serious," ho said. "I
daro say ho has told you that ho has
becomo very fond of tiger shooting I"
"Ah, tigers ! Tell mo Mr. Tilbury,
tell me!" J
"Well, ho went out tiger shooting
