"Philip," said old John Brlggs to liU
sou, "you nro 28. years old todny,"
"So the family record says, father,"
responded tho elegant young gentleman
addressed! "I am disposed to placo Im
plicit reliance upon It."
"You havo done nothing slnco you left
collego but kill time."
"It Is only retaliation In advanco, sir.
Soma day or other tho old chap with tho
scalp lock and Bcytho will kill me."
"You nro too flippant. Slnco your
Aunt Priscllla left you $o,000 a year you
havo done nothing but spend the money.
Your Income ought to bo enough for a
Binglo man, but you draw on me too."
"I'll try to draw on you less, sir."
"It Is not tlxtt, Philip. You nro quite
wplcomo to a chock now and then, for I
know that you neither game nor revel,
and I don't mind your horses, your club,
your natural history craze, nor your
luxurious tastes. Hut still you spend
moro money and get less for It than most
young men of your agej havo too much,
In fact."
"I don't ilnd it too much, sir. In fact,
I was thinking what a graceful thing It
would bo If you wore to doublo It, a mere
trlllo to a gentleman of your means. I
liavo to use tho most pitiful economy, I
assuro you."
"Oh, that's it, eh? Well, thcro is a
niodo to increaso it very much. You havo
heard mo speak of Philander Spriggs, of
Now Yorkr"
"Monoy lender and skinflint? I havo
heard of him."
"Noii6enso, Philip. IIo is quite worthy
aa well as a very wealthy man, and if ho
prefers to im est ready money In short
loans what of that? I lend my monoy,
or soino of It, sometimes."
"But not a cent per cent."
"No matter. T don't proposo that you
shall borrow of him. IIo has an only
child, a daughter, who will inherit all
his vast property, just a3 you will mine."
"Does she shavo notes, father?"
"Phil, bo kind enough not to Indulgo
in chaff. I havo scon her and talked
with her. Sho is young, handsome, well
educated nnd has good taste, a society
gentlewoman with domestic tastes."
"Well, father, you are not so old, and
since you admiro her so much, I seo no
reason why"
"Stop your nonsenso and listen. Spriggs
and I Had a talk over It when I was In
New York, nnd wo havo concluded If you
two come together, to chip in equally and
settle n lialf million on you on your wed
ding day. With what you havo you'll do
well enough for a whllo."
"But," demurred Philip, "I don't liko
Spriggs for n father,lu-law."
"Stuff! You don't marry Spriggs."
"And tho name. Jut think of it!
Spr-r-iggsl"
"W)i9.t of that? With marriage tho
namo la changed. I don't think she'll
gain much by It. Spriggs Briggs. Six
of ono and a half-dozen of the other."
"I'd.llko to obligo you, father. I sup
poso I must marry soino day, but it will
be somo ono I love, and then, Philadel
phia like, I insist on a woman of good
family."
"See hero, Phil," exclaimed tho father,
who by this time was at whito heat,
"you never know mo to break my word.
I merely ask you to marry for your own
good. I point out a wife in every way
suitable to you. Marry to pleaso me,
and I will not only start you fairly in
lifo now, but leavo you all I havo when
I am gone. Marry to suit some foolish
fancy of your own, and I'll yes, I'll i
found an asylum for idiots. Now you
understand me." And Briggs marched
off, leaving His son to Ids meditations.
"If I stay here," said Philip to him
self, "father and I will quarrel. Belter
givo the dear old gentleman a chance to
cool off. I'll ruralize a little."
That afternoon Philip packed a port
manteau, and with a llshing rod and
mineral hammer, started off to Mont
gomery county, where an old collego
mate of his had married and settled,
and whom ho had long promised to visit.
When ho arrived there ho learned that
Boudinot and his wife had gone to Long
Branch for tho season, nnd their ser
vants with them, tho house being in
chargo of a caretaker. Philip heard of
good fishing in a sjream four miles off,
and concluded to try it. IIo found lodg
ingsntu farmhouso near tho place, owned
by u man named Seth Cooper.
But neither that day nor that week did
he sen any woman other than Mrs. Coop
er or tho hired girl.
As ho sat upon tho veranda ono after
noon debating tho matter, a wagou was
driven up the lano and Mopped at tho
door. Lightly out 6tepied a young wo
man In a neat traveling dres, nnd the
driver followed her with a largo trunk,
under which ho staggered, burly as ho
was. Mrs. Cooper camo from the kitch
en and exclaimed: "Why, It's Gwonny,
declare!1'
"You dear old Aunty Ituthl" bald tho
newcomer, hugging and kissing the far
mer's wife. "I camo to havo a good
time for a month."
"And to you shall, my dear," was tho
hearty reply.
Philip took an ocular inventory of tho
looks, drebs and manner of tho new
comer as ho took off his hat. "A hweet
faco and graceful llguro and presentable
anywhere," was his Internal comment.
"Hero's luck. I shall not visit tho Branch
yet."
"You havo a boarder, aunty, bald tho
girl when upstairs with Mrs. Cooper.
"Yes; he's a Mr. Bee," baid tho other.
"It don't look as if ho had any call to
work for his living, judging by his whito
hands and his fix tips, and he's plenty ot
money."
"Boo! Then ho isn't a busy bee. But
he's good looking; if ho bo ugreeablo
he'll do for a walking stick,"
Mre. Cooper's mistake na to Philip was
natural enough. When sho had asked
his name on his coming he had said in
his airy way, "Philip B., at your bcrv
ice," and sho had taken tho sound of tho
Initial for his surname. After she had
called him Mr, Beo several times Philip
saw tho blunder, smiled nt it, and, as tho
naval oftlcors say, "made It bo;" and
when Qvcnny camo to the table eho was
Introduced, "Miss Oweuuy, Mr. Bee."
As sho was tho nteco ho concluded her
name to bo Cooper, but as tho farmer ad
dressed her us Miss Qwcnny and tho
(armor's wife as Owenny, Philip chose
tho more respectful of tho two.
As Philip was a gallant young gentle
nuui, and as tho young lady was charm
ing in manner, ho naturally paid her
much attention. When a young man
and young woman are thrown together
under such circumstances, It is not un
usual for a lllitutlon to follow, It Is
generally u foregone conclusion.
Philip soon learnod that "Qwcnny"
was tho diminutive of Owonllian, and
notof tho lnoro stilted Gwendoline, which
interested him. Philip's mother had been
a Powell, with welsh blood In her veins,
and boro tho same name. This latter
Qwenlllun was a myBtery to him, For
tho niece of a coarse farmer, for Cooper,
though a worthy mail, was tho rovcrbo
ot rcilnod, she displayed unquestionably
gentle maimers, Tlion sho showed a fair
knowledge of any subject touched upon
In conversation.
What was sho, a teacher? Sho had
not tho look nor tho way of tho school-
ma'am. A governess? Possibly, if so,
in n good family, nut her Itclonglnga
were not of tho second hand kind.
Philip had nkcen eyo for fcnmlo apparel.
Her lace was of tho rarest; her gloves
were jwrfect and of tho newest; her
dresses wcro pretty in material and well
fitting, though quiet in tone; and though
sho displayed little in tho way of jewelry,
the stono thnt sparkled on tho head of a
lnco pin was unmistakably a diamond.
Sho had been well cultured, nnd every
word and action showed a pinky that
lltted her name.
On tho other hand, Philip was ns much
a mystery to tho young girl. IIo was n
gentleman beyond doubt. Hut what was
ho doing there,1 a man of culture, refine
ment ami rcsthctlo tastes, in that farm
house? Ho had said nothing of tholloudi
nots, which would havo explained it.
With n littlo affectation of cynicism,
which did not ill becomo him, tho man
was as clear ns water, frank ns air. But
why did ho loiter thcro with no apparent
purpose? Tho girl did not nt flrht deem
sho was tho attraction, but it camo to
her after flvo weeks, and sho grew shy,
nnd her shyness for tho last week of her
slay Infected Philip, who becamo shy,
too, and lost all case. At length she an
nounced to Mrs. Cooper that sho had to
return home, and that her father, who
was hi Philadelphia visiting a friend
there, would corao for her on tho follow
ing day, and his friend with htm, Philip
heard this with a depression that told
hlni ho had met his fate, and that It lay
in tho power of this girl to mako him
happy or miserable for life.
All tho night thnt followed Philip lay
and tossed restlessly. Ho could not sleep.
Ho felt that his father would bo us good
as his word, but ho would win a wifo
then or never. Near morning ho nroso.
dressed, and sat at tho window, until tho
sun showed Itself. Then ho slipped out
of the house and btrollcd toward a glen a
few yards off, intending to remain out
until ho heard tho breakfast bell. It had
been a favOrito haunt of tho two, and yet
for tho last few days both had avoided It.
IIo made his way to a mossy rock which
formed n tort of rustic seat, and there ho
saw Uwenny.
"Miss Owenllian," ho exclaimed.
She roHO with a rather embarrassed air.
"I rested badly last night, Mr. Bee, and
I camo out at daybreak. I havo been
hero ever since. Tho morning air Bcems
to refresh me."
"I havo tho same oxpciience," ho said.
"I havo rested badly, or rather havo not
rested nt nil. I"
Sho looked up inquiringly, and at some
thing bho read in his eyes, dropped her
own, while a Hush overspread her faco
and neck.
"Gwennyl" ho said desperately, nnd
took her hand. Tho lingers trembled in
his, but wcro not withdrawn. "Gwen
ny," ho said, "wo aro to part today. Do
you know that I Iovo you dearly?-'
"Do you, Philip?" sho murmmcd, but
did not look up.
"Owenny," ho said, "I have been sail
ing under falso colors, but innocently
enough. I havo a way among my gen
tleman friends of using my initials, ami
bo I am called among them P. B. or Mr.
B. When your aunt asked my namo I
said 'Mr. B.,' and 1 did not caro to unde
ceive her; but I desiro no concealment
from you, unless you do not caro for me.
Then wo will part as wo met; but I bhall
bo a changed man."
Ho waited for a reply. Thero was a
slight tightening of her lingers on his as
bho half whispered:
"You must know that I caro for you,
Philip."
"Now," said tho exultant Philip, "you
must let mo speak to your father today."
"I fear you may find bun rather ob
stinate," sho said. "Ho bets an unduo
storo by his daughter."
"I can satisfy him of my position in
bociety and that I am able to maintain
you. I havo means of my own, and
have well, I might say had, great ex
pectations; but my father, v ho is several
times a millionaire, lias taken it into his
head to fit me with a wife. 1 prefer to
chooso ono for mybelf. If you will bo
content to share what I have, Philip
Briggs does not caro for more."
"Briggs Philip!" cried Gwenny, re
leasing herself from his grasp and look
ing at liini wouderiugly. "Is your fa
ther's namo John?"
"Yes."
"And ho lives in Philadelphia?'
"Yes."
Owenny burst into n peal of silvery
laughter. "Do not feel vexed, Philip,"
she said at length. "I nm only laughing
at tho similarity of our positions. My
father choso a husband lor mo in the
saino way, and it was to escape discus
sion of tho matter that I took theso few
weeks' rustication. Mrs. Cooper is my
old nurbC, nnd I havo called her 'aunty'
from tho time I could toddlo around. She
was married from our house. Her hus
band had very littlo money and father
bought this farm and stocked it. But,
oh! think, Philip dear, how your father
and mine will chuckle! You nro Philip
Briggs, nnd I I am Gwenlliau Spriggs."

wild and woolly west. A young Bos

to Texas and turned cowboy. IIo rapid

is rapidly shook off tho outward sem
blance of tenderfooted eastern habit.
Hough bearded, leather clad, sombicro
as wido as tho widest, 42 caliber Colts on
his hips, ho was wild as tho wildest. Yet
within his bosom still burned tho llamo
of Boston culture nnd refinement.
Ono day ho was riding with a stranger
across tho prairie. Turning his head
suddenly (ho was slightly ahead) he bjiw
his companion make a suspicious motion
toward his hip pocket. Without hesita
tion ho drew his revolvtr nnd shot him.
Tho stranger dropped liko a log. Tho
cowlmy dismounted and looked at tho
body of his victim.
"I wonder if ho was really going to
shoot mo?' ho soliloquized. "I'll see."
Turning tho lioily over, ho discoveied
a llask of whisky protruding from the
pocket.
"Poor fellow!" ho said in n tono of ro
grct. "I've mado a mistake. Pro killed
an innocent man, nnd a gentleman at
that. IIo wasn't going to shoot mo; he
was going to ask mo to havo a drink.
Well," he sighed, drawing ids sleovo
across his mouth, "tho last wishes of tho
