Surprised nt tlnd lur us together, he stopped short nnd looked sharply at us, from one to the other. Wo eaeh of us went ou rubbing with out raising our heads. "Here, take this," said my mule, handing me n, bulky parcel from under his arm. "A splendid purchase, you'll see." The subject did not lutercst mo In the least. I opened the parcel, aud from the enveloping paper emerged a steel lui met but not nn ordinary he'.mot. oh, no! n suberb. n monumental merlon. with gorge t and (minted visor of , strange form.

"Xever! Do you har what say?" And as I linked at him beseechingly aud with Jolued hamls he went ou: "A prefy husband you look like! without a sou. ainl drvaming of going Into housekeeping!

The next moment all my hope had vanished. My uncle would surely uot forgive me. At dinner time I took my pine nt table on his right band In low spirits, ate little nnd said nothing. "It will come with the dessert," I thought. Hose lookixl at mo and I avoided meeting her eyes. As I had expected, the dessert over, my uncle lit his pipe, raised his head and then "Hoso come here." lloso went to him. ! "lo you knew what that follow I there asked me to do yesterday?" I I trembled like leaf, and Hose did tho same. ! "To give him your hand," he added, j "Oo you love him?" 15vse cast down her eyes. . "Very well." continued my uncle, ,' "on this side the case Is complete. ! Come here, you." I I approached htm. I "Here I nni, uncle," and, in a whls I Ki". j He burst Into a hearty langh. "Marry her then, donkey ince yon ; love her. and I give her to you." I "Ah uncle!" "Ah dear papa!" j And Hose and I threw ourselves Into his anus. I "Very good, very good." he cried.
