She did not wish to ace ai yotie just now Kitty lea.t cf alL Hut Kilty, haitiun. alutetl her with a blithe ".Neddie, my love, stop a Lit; I want to tell you Komethinp." There was little similarity in their ap pearance. They were lxth fair; but Kd wina was out-and-out a Clay tall, slen der, pale, and reserved, wbilo if ins Car michael had few, if any, of the character istics of her mother's family Plump und raudy was Kitty, a triflo freckled, with bewitching dimples, a saucy ninuth and divine Irish-fcray eyes. l!y nalnre she wus as rollickiUK and lnipetnotts at her lute father. Colonel Carmichael. whom her fcrandfather Clay hd never forgiven for running away with Lis yotmire.st l.tuihter. Kitty's paternal inheritance of pood looks ami jjuwl naturu bail been greatly to her ndvaiitac? la a worldly Feuse. She luid tbi", ami this only, to blsmo for tha manner iu which her grandfather had treated her in his will. The old gentleman had died something river a year previous, leaving the bulk of I.i.HlarKe fortune to Kdwlna, "only child of hi lato son Edwin," while to Kitty he hud left only a miserable little tttipeud, barely enough to support her. Grand father Clay had never len reconciled to Charlotte, his yonnxeft daughter. Kitty had borne her Ill-luck with philo sophical good-humor, and continued to reside, nt previously, with her maiden nuns nnd cousin for both girls wero or phaned these many years. K 1 vvina was generous and had thought tho will unjust. 'Never mind, Kitty," she had said, "you jdia'.l have a dowry when you marry; meanwhile 1 vi.nt to arrange for jou a little extra pin-money." "D uvry it nil rinht," said Kitty, "but never mind the pin-money." And it was ith di:Ticulty that Mis.s Clay could pre v:;il t:t the proud little creature to accent what was by rights her own. Hut Mi-vt Carmichael's thohts were far eno:u:li from the subject r f unjust wills cs.he hailed Ler cousin there on the kt.iircase. l-Mw in i descended the remaining steps, looV.:!i 4 uler than ui-ual.

Kdwir.a entered the draw in ''-room and tl.rew her-elf itpon a sofa, It was dark ami tinier, and no one would interrupt ler there. She would have a chance to tl.li.k our what Ler cunt Lad becu &aj i.ig. Suppose it were authentic, the will that her auut hal discovered that very morn i :C In its arrange hiding-phicr, the old c!'i-k Ami her aunt seemed to think it authentic. "I thought It best to tell you at once, F. 1 .. ilia.'' .she had said. "I wtil not show you the will; I have reasons, put it is cert ain!y your grandfather's handwriting, wittiesetl by the Bateses. father and son, v.ho calleJ here a week before father died, and sailed a day or two later for foreign parts. They have been abroad ever since, you remember. Thero is an other thing; Your grandfather, just be fore he died, spoke Kitty's name and then tu 'clock!' We thought he meant only tha clock shoul-l be hers. I cannot tell why I shonltl have been impelled to open that clock this morning. ' "Edwina, if this should lie If this calamity should fall upon you, and 1 can not help rci.irdiiig it as a calamity, I do not crnislfler myself wanting in affection for hit sister's daughter, as well as my brother's, but Kitty is so different, so little a Clay if this calamity should fall you shall share all that I possess of course. ''Hut meanwhile yotir iredding Is set for October; this la the but of Anguat. I do not for a moment suppose that yonr loss of fortune would affect your be trothed himself but his family. They are very proud, very ambitious; they may be even mercenary. Edwina, I have re placed the paper in the clock, and spoken to no one of finding it. . Suppose we leave it so till after your wedding? You need not decide at once; think about it a while. This, however, is my advice." Edwina went carefully over her aunt's communication. Suppose it were true? Suppose her Grandfather Clay, in some strange sudden remorse. Lad done this thing? Sue remembered the last week e-f his life. n had been speechless nearly all . that week, aud had taken little notice of anything or anyoue. It was quite poxsihlo that be bad turned about and written the tm ir wc rds necessary to revoke all former wills and leave everything to Kitty Car michael. Yet why should he turn from one injus tice to another? She asked herself bit terly why be could not have divided his fortune fairly, providing for both grand daughters alike. Edwina was far from avaricioun. ITad she been quite her own mistress had tiiere uot lieun Aunt Josephine to disap prove, at well as other complications ae would long since, of her own free will, have made over half her inheritance to her cousin. But now to have everything f ucpt away! It was a crushing, buniil I -rieg prospect. With Frederick Montgomery, her afH . ree l hiislKiud, it would probably make no difference; but with bis family? Her i iritV suggest ion wat very forcible, ap--"il'iimr!

Edw ina lty there for an hour or more. Consider the matter as hhe miht, there eemed U relief, no Solution. ."-" She sat np at length, with her head throbbing aud her face ou fire. The af ternoon was slipping away. She heard the clock strike five. She arose and went out upon the piazza. Kitty was resiling In a hammock on the lawn. - She de scended and eame toward the house. "Have you been asleep, Ned?" she asked. "Your face ii flushed. I'll run aud tt.et yon a fan." . "No,"said Edwina a little sharply then. "No, don't, dean I really don't feci warm. What book were you re.-.ding?" "Tho most exciting affair I eonld find, of course. Neddie, I wish yon'd begin to rush yout wedding preparations a little. I shall perish of dnlnet bere." Edwina moved uneasily. Snpposethere should be no wetltliug becauso of Ler al tered fortunes?' Rut Kitty ran on blithely enough: ' "You've a notion to marry it doesn't make very much difference whom, you know. I have begun to think I ought to marry somebody anybody that's nice and good-uatured and will take me alout the world. You'll be gone iu a month or ao, and I shall bo left to Aunt Josephine's mercy." Kitty made a little grimace; she was aittlng on the fcteps, while Ed wina occupied a rustic-chair aliove. "I don't see," she ended up, "how I shall ex ist, Ned, when yon are married off." Edwina answered with vague bitter ness: "Perhaps something will happen to al ter things." Kitty puckered up her brows. "Alter tilings? I'd like to have a hand at that. Hut there's no danger. I've a precious mind to marry Phil l'orfeicue. He's not as Cue a lover us your Frederick, but " Edwina could endure no more. "1 think I will so in; it is time to dress for dinner," she said wearily. She did not go at once to her own room. She pa-sed her aunt's door and went to wards the chamlier iu which her grand father bad died, and where tho clock stood in which the paper had besa found that morning. She wondered how her aunt bad come to enter that chamber, it was usually kept locked; all things remained as at Ler grandfathers death. She turned the knob softly, impelled by nncantiy fascination. Tho door was locked, as usual. Edwina now retraced her Fteps and sought her own room, where she threw heiaelf up'in tht? bed aud covered her face. Miss Josephine Clay and Miss Kitty Carmichael itiued tetc-i telr that eveninc-, and Edwina was alisent. The was not well, was the word she rent down; they might scud ber a cup t.f tea, please. It was a cotisideraolo little that tho lrl wat fighting nut alone. Everything seemed against ber. She plainly read ber aunt's wish that nothing be aald un til after ber marriage. Sheadml:ted her aunt's apprehension as to Frederick Montgomery's family to l well grounded. She conceded that Kitty wf i.id be practically as well of! ia receiving her great fortune a ti.ot.th or two later as in receiving it new. I.it,o: the other band, truth, honor! D:d ret these demand the Instant wret:nv; t.f that, paper from its hiding-place in the silent chamber yonder? Did not right demand that not an hour passed without Kitty Carmichael knowing her true position? Edwina wat fighting out a bitter bat tie. Thank Heaven, she had courage to lock In the face of all possibilities depriva tion, mortification, even the breaking off of the marriage. The room was dark now; she had sot lighted the gas. The house was still, save that Kitty was playing dance music in the drawing-room playing softly, not to disturb her cousin. Edwina stood npon her feet once more. She opened the door and staggered out into the hall. She kuew that her aunt had come upstairs. She went slowly to wards the latter' room and rapped sharply. Etwinas entrance was unsteady. "I have come to speak to you about that that other will," she said at once. "I I have made up my mind that Kitty should know of it directly. There is so rea-son for for delay." Miss Josephine replied with cold disap probation: "I think we found several re.-uons when speaking of it this afternoon." There was a moment's silence. E.lwina could at ill hear Kitty playing softly in the drawing-room lelow. Theu slc spoke again, a little hoarsely: "However that may be, I have decided. I have taken time to consider well; I have looked everything iu the face, and I I could not sleep to-night with this upon my mind. Will you give me the key to grandfather's room, that I may go for the paper?" The elder lady regarded her Incredu lously. "You can hardly be In earnest, Ed wina?" "I am thoroughly In earnest," said Ed wina in a clearer voice. "Will you please let me have the key?" Miss Josephine Clay had risen to her feet; a certain wild look was on her face a look that only came there in extreme anger a look that at any time previous would have caused her niece to tremble. But Edwlua returned her gaze without flinching. The elder lady's hand slipped slowly in to her pocket and slowly out again. One slim arm reached out disdainfully. Tho key dropped upon the carpet between the two women. Edwina stooped aud picked It np. 'Thank yon," she sa'.d. Miss Josephine answered with a coldness more bitter than any threat: "Go your own way. Butby-and-hy, ex pect no sympathy from me." Edwina flew from the room. It seemed to her she must make haste, lest latershe should Iofl the strength now buoying her up. With shaking hands she unlocked the door of that silent chamber. The light from the hall made objects sufficiently distinct. A moment later her trembling fin sera had closed upon the paper. She closed the clock, came out of the room, anil re locking the door, came to the Imlusters. "Kitty, Kitty!" khe cried out desper ately, "come up here quickly." There was a strange ring in ber voice ot excitement, but exultation. Victory! victory' TLo battle nearly ended! - Kitty cam rushing tap the staircase with amazed eyes. Come into aunt's room." said Edwina, less steadily. Now that all was over, per haps would come reaction. Kitty," an id Edwina. "aunt has found this in the clot k that grandfather left you.

"Bab!" said Kl'ty; "and what do you supiose the Montgouierys will say?" Edwina drew a little sobbing breath and in ade tv answer. But Mm Carmichael turned aharply at another konnd. Miss Josephine Clay had stirred and emitted something like a sniff of con-teuiptuou- pleasure. 'Sit down, Edwina," said her cousin, pushing her into a chair. She went over to the mantel then, did Miss Carmichael, aud stood where the light of an nnglobed bracket made the writing on the pupettaore legible. She cpoke araia presently. "There is just one thine; about It. Grandf.it her with duo respect to hit memory was altogether too cranky at will-making. You needn't frown at tne. Aunt Josephine. This has always been my opinion.

As for this bit of writing, I'm too fond of " Iteddie to spoil her affairs; ao, hare goes!" "Kitty!" Edwina sprang to her feet with a start led cry, for the girl had thrust the paper into the blaze of the gat. M iss Jo.se phi ae sat as one stricken dumb. "Oh. Kitty!" Thai was all her cousin could nay. The charred fragments fell and wei j scat tered over the mantel; uDd Miss Carmi chael walked nonchalantly away lrom them. "Wh.it in the world should I do with such responsibilities" she inquired. "I'd wnut to divide with you, that's about all." Tears were flowing down Euwlas's cheeks. "" "Kitty," she said, "the division will be made to-morrow. I ought to have done so sooner: indeed, I wottld, but for " She broke off. Kitty had glanced sifnifl cautly at their auut; she evidently uudtr fctood. - - Edwina kept her word, and all went welL The marriage was not interrupted. Moreover, Kitty herself was shortly after betrothed to Phil Fortescue. THE OLD s FLAME. "Miss Mandeville? Of course I know Miss Mandeville," aaid Floiian Foctenel. "There were two sisters of them, weren't there?

And she lad iuvittd him to Fouteuei Tijiiiia to fall ia love with hir, not to maunder aliont his old fancies. "Yes." said the coldly. "I Leard some thing of their once being In society.

The upper blinds wese alias carefully clcsed nnd bolted as If tho old man's corpse still lay in the echoing rooms; but the latscnicnt windows were thrown open to admit tha fresh Octolier air, ami a round dark f.ice, brilliant as tbac of a Spanish senorius, appeared at the door to ans'.ver his knock. "is it the man for the quince jelly ?"said she. "It is not ready yet. 1 toid you to come this evening." "I am very fond cf quince jrlly," f aid Florian Kontenel gravely, "but I fenr I a:n not the excellent individual whom yon are expecting. Don't you remember me. Miss Kate?" "It is Mr. Fontenel," said Kate Mande ville, the crimson color mounting to her cheek. "Exactly," said Florian. "May Mr. Fontenel come in?" - Miss Mandeville hesitated a second, then, opened the door with a composed smile. - "Yes, walk iu," said she, "and soo bow sdustricua I cm. I am a workingwoman now. I do np preserves, pickles, canned fruit and jellies. It isn't such unpleasant work, except when the wea' her is warm; and I nm very liberally paid for it. Cais ia a worker, too.

Kate bad 5jKikenr.il thesesentf nces with a careless grace, which would lead an la different auditor to infer that It was all a matter of conrse. But Floria i Fontenel knew her wtdl enough to bold the trtio key to ber nature. He understood how painful it was for her thus tacitly to ae Lnnwledge the blight which bad passed ever her fortunes since last they met. "I see," be s-ud quietly, "thln-rt aro changed. Miss Mandeville, since I gave yon that Rr": .f sweet verliena in Mrs. i.yttril'i conservatory that winter lii'iht.. You were a btllo then the star of tho cveiiin-t.

That I had no sort of chance. That it was Itrst for me to withdraw from the lists before I hid got my poor wings, ijolh-tasbiou, Iiopt lestly scarred an I teamed." 'That was like a man," said Kate with rising color. "You constitute! your self judge, jury, and executiouer all in one. Will you be good enough to step a little aside?" I have to park these glasses carefully into a box, and " "Pardon me," said Fontenel, withor.t stirring the tenth part of nu inch. "Just a minute more. Well, I left and went abroad. The tiextwlnter, when Ireturned, other stars were shining upon the fashion able horizon. My planet was gone. I nm a proud man by nature, and I snid to my self that if Miss Mandeville hail cared for me she would have siguified to me, by aonie sign, however t light, that she was still La existence. She did not." "You can see why," said Kate, with heightened color. "I have received too many rebuffs from the dear particular friends of old days to encourage me to risk any new dangers. But," with droop ing eyelashes, "I have got the sprig of tweet verbena hidden away iu my ort folio yet. I don't often get time to look at it, but it is always there to think of. Now may I go on with the jelly?" "Not quite yet," said Fontenel with a gravity that was truly laudable. "Miss Mandeville, if I had followed out the first instincts of my heart the night I gave you the sweet verbena if I bad asked you to be my wife what would yon have taid?" "I should have said yes," Xnte answered. Fontenel bit his lip. "And I was mad enough to throw away all my chances of happiness," he said. "But I will not be so rash a second time. Will you trust me now, Miss Mandeville? Will yr u marry rue? I loved you dearly then; but, as Heaven is my witness, I love you better and more tenderly now. Iu all my life 1 have never really tared for but one woman, aud she tt before me now. Will you take uie, Kate, with all my faults and eccentricities, and try to make me more worthy of yourself?" And Kute put her little hand in his and answered with innocent frankness: "Yes." "-- Mrs. Major Fontenel was one of those f Ziiaiua diplomats who always adapt t Lemsei v.s graciously to the exigencies of the situation, and the called on Miss Mandeville the next day, and congratu lated her, iu the prettiest way iu the world, upon ber engagement. "But really," she added, with an artless laugh, "I bad grown to lielieve that Flor ian wr.s a fore-ordained old bachelor. You don't kuow, Miss Mandeville, what a victory you have achieved!" And she enacted her part so perfectly that Florisi Fontenel, in spite of hit own tenses, v;.s almost convinced that she had Lrrt r cared for him at all. But to ber French maid, Jeanne, she said angrily, whea at last she returned hou'.e r.nd thing her elegant wrapping recklessly on the sofa: "There bursts the brightest bubble of my future! 1 could have held my owu r.gaiust any itw fancy, 1 solemnly believe, I ut these old flnmes arc too much for uny ciiC to contend ngaiust." And Jeanne clasped her bands and an swered tragically. "Ah, m.iilna.e, it is very much heart breaking'." - -v. CALIFORNIA RABBIT DRIVES.
