" ' One fine morning in tho 6prug of ten years ago, there came up to my room with my French rolls and chocolate a daintv little pink note. I was certainly astonished in a mild way at its early advent, but I know the writer, and was by no means seriously curious. " Ellen in dreadful distress about soma dressmaker, or exercised about her spring shopping," I said, ' and it can wait." For I am particular about a few things, and a calm deliberate breakfast is one of them. So I laid the note aside and took up the morning paper.. Having finished both breakfast and newspaper, I took up Ellen's note with that feeling of re luctance with which wo come back from great emotions to the small selfish con cerns of our own every -day life. The note, for once, was full of real ear nest feeling, and rousod both my sympa thy and curiosity, though it contained only these few lines : " Dr.Art Sakah : Come to mo at onco. I am In great trouble about Alice. " Yours, etc., Ellkn Tkavkkn." "About Alice!'' I sjntculatel now with a very grave Interest. Alice Traveen was very dear to me. and I dressed my self in haste, and went at once to reiievo the curioaity which had now become anxiety. I found Ellen ntirslng her trouble in the most elegant of morning dressos, and with the most dismal of faces. Yet some how the tone and atmosphero of the house had quite dispelled the fears that had hurriod both my hands and my feet for the last hour. For I heard Alice tak ing her 6inging-lesson, and Maud had kissed me in the hall with all her usual joyous abandon. Some love affair," I now decided. T And I was not wrong. Ellen was feeling herself to be the most Injured and miserable of mothers. Alice had had two offers, and had madly re fused the cliance of becoming Mrs. Van Solgen, and accepted the modttst destiny thai, a young captain of artillery could give her. "And, my dear Sarah, he Is under orders to join the army now, nd he and .lire want to b-3 married at once, and the girl has not a dress fit to be swn, and thero is no time to arranud anything de cently ; and. jpon ho wuolc, it is the moat dreadful affair." " What does William say about it?" . j She looked at me indignantly. " Now, Sarah, what do you expect that William would say? You know how full of dreams and crotohet.s he always is. He says, of course, 'Let the young ones have tht-ir way; that young Bldridgo is a fine noble-hearted feliow; and that any dress Alioo luis Is nice enough to bo mar ried in.' " "Well. Ellen, I think myself that young Eldridge is in every way AlicV equal; the family ia a very cctkuable one." "Oh, dear me, Sarah! that Is not the question. Jack Eldridgo is poor. I don t care for family, and that kind of nonsense. Van Solgen is rich, and has nn establishment, and everything respect able, l'a'iey Alice 'i'raveeu following the drum in a b..ggage-w-igon ! And Wi.lutm never will see these tilings in a proper light. I don't see what can be done to save Alice if you go ogaiiifct her, too." " ily J. ar Lilen, 1 am not against the child: you know how dearly 1 love her. But this Van Solgen had a very bad name about his first wife." "His first wife! Why, Sarah, she had not a particle of stylo! llow could u man respect a woman who neither know how a dinner or n lady ougnt to Ik" dressed? If under such circumstances ho lost his temper, I think he ought to he excused for it. Now Alice knows how to manago both cooks and (hes-makers ; and between you and me, my dear, they mar age the world." " I have heard, too, that with r. II- his wealth, this Van Solgen is really very stingy." "Stingy! .And he has got the dearest little cottage at the seaside, and the linest establishment ia the city. I think it is a shame tor people to Pay such things. Two such houses r.s Van Solgen owns ought to cover a multitude of shis." "But two houses can't make the child Lappy if she does not love the man." " Then she is very ur.roA-r.aMe, aid she ought to be made to be have herself." And so he was. Boor Jack Eldridge went off the next week to his corps, look ing dark and hopeio.-s enough ; and Alice came oftener than ever to see nu-, am! wept and complained passionately vJL her and Jack's disappointment. I respected and sympathized with ber. Twenty years before I had had my own little dream of love (tvhich had not com true), and so I tras quite able to speak' with authority ou its uncertainty and in etai'itity. Then, as tho summer ripened, I went to my pleasant country house, and the Trtiveens went to Scarborough. Wi'.h what subtle tact - Ellen liid her plans, and with what pationt indomitable Industry she worked them, I know mt ; but the autumn brought her her reward. For though listless and indifferent about many grave things, she was a consum mate tactician where fash ion or worldly advancement was in question; so I was by no means surprised when I read in Liu papers the announcement of the contem plated marriage between Arthur Van Sol gen and Alice Kcid Tniveen. Not surprised, but still very orry. and tho moro so when i saw Alice's listless looks and variable t-guper. Mr. Traveen was not satisfied. I do not like this marriage, Sarah," he snid to me one night. Van Is not the kiud of man I should have thought Alice would have chosen, ami I would much rather have had Jack Eldridge for a son-in-law." - ' "Oh, 1 suppose she must marry ; Ellen thinks she has no time to lose." And the child is not twentv until next March. That is what troubles me. I do think I should like her beauty and acconi plishr.ients to adorn my own home a lit tie while lefore she Is given to one almost a t-t ranger. But Illlen Is quite satisfied, she savs with Mr. Van Solgen's character and posi tion." That is what amazes me. If Provi dence had asked for Alice again, you would see Ellen almost frantic. But here comes a man uNuit whom sho knows nothing except that lie is rich, and was j,ot happy with his li:st wife; and she strives to give her child to him. I deprecate tin whole transaction." i. - " Why do you not speak to Alice, then?' I do, whenever I have .-mi pp !'! unit y : but she says as she eon Id not have El dridge, it ts perfectly indifferenT. lo he; whom she ninnies; and that she laay as Vv 11 please ber mother." l"irist!i.a'j holidays passed, and soon after them, in all the pomp of lace, and satin, nr-d diamonds, Alice became Mr?.

Alice ofTeml no explanation, but pat with a moody face, folding and unfolding a newspaper she held in her hand.
