Rather than Uncle Harvey's protega you will forfeit your prospect- ve inheritance, eh ?" “ Exactly,” replied Val, with scornful indifference. When you go back to town you can tell him so.” “Don't be too hasty, my boy,” Ste remarked. * Hadn't you better see Miss Tinlu before you @ up your ? “No,” Val answered, without hesita- tion. * The conditions attending such a marriage would make it disagreeable under any circumstances. But I say, Stephen, you seem to have been quite struck with Miss Welwyn; why don't you marry her yourself? Stephen's face flushed slightly, and he moved uneasily in his chair. “Oh, I'm a confirmed bachelor, Val,” he ssid, with an awkward langh. *** You know I am not a marrying man.” * That is noreason why youshouldn't become one,” Val said, stoutly, quite garried sway by this new fidea. ** You could bear her off in triumph, and I've no doubt Uncle Harvey would be all the better satisfled if you were to be her husband. I'ma kind of a scamp, you know; but you, my dear Stephen, are a man of responsibility.” “Thanks : no, Val I’ Stephen said, in his dry, humorous way. ** You know I never did get along with the women, and I'd sooner be shot than court one I" * Nonsense I” Val answered, enthusi- astically. “Tl help you. Nothing easier, Stephen.” Stephen shook his head. “That's one of the things in which there can be no co-operation, my dear boy,” he observed. “That's what inexperience says,” Val rejoined. “I'll prove the contrary. Just let me see Miss Lulu. I'll make you the burden of my praises. I'll paint you ss a little on wheels. I'll extol you to the skies, till you present yourself to her mind as a hero of romance. Young girls are very suscepti- ble to that sort of thing, Stephen. Just say the word, and Ill open the campaign at once.” “She won't have me, Val," Stephen said, but he was obviously wavering, and his cousin came down with several other reassuring arguments which won him over. “1f I really thoughtshe would marry me,” he said at last, “I might ask her. But I swear, Val, I'd sooner walk up to # cannon’s mouth than have a woman say ‘No' to me.” “ Follow my advice,” Val answered, confidently. “I'm sn old stager, Stephen. For the present, just you go to town, and tell Uncle Harvey that you have concluded to take the contract off my hands, By Jove! You're a brick, Stephen. You'll save me from penury, my dear fellow, for I swear 1 wouldn't marry Miss Welwyn under soy consideration, though I have no doubt she is an angel.” “You will go down to Redner right away then?” Stephen inquired, when they were parting. Oy Val replied, and he kept bis word. e next day at noon he found him- gelf in the little library at Welwyn Woods, chatting with his hostess and one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen. Val was a connoisseur in beauty, too. “Your uncle told us,” Mrs, Welwyn observed, rordially, * that your Cousin Stephen wight be down with you. I sm sorry he couldn’t come.” “ He hopes to get awsy after awhile,” Val replied. ‘At present he is so en- tangled in engagements that he hasn't a moment’s leisure. 1 never saw such vitality as his. He is perfectly indefati- gable, though I know there isn’t sn- other man in town eo much sought after.” + It seems strange,” Mrs. Welwyn re- marked, that he should never have marri « He is not easily charmed,” Val said, with a laugh and a suggestive look at Mis: Lula, “The woman who wins him will have a great triumph.” These were the entering wedges, Val said to himself, and he deliberately laid in ambush for occasions to drive them deeper in. It was not a disagreeable task, he found, for Miss Lulu was a charming listener; and there was something so novel in it that it was more diverting even than flirtation. He did a great many things on Stephen's account which he wouldn't have dared to do on his own. It wae quite delightful, indeed, to ramble through Welwyn Woods with such a companion, for he feltso much at ease in her society, having already set Jer apart in his mind as Stephen’s wife. And there was a peculiar charm in the long afternoons on the lake, when he oked so persistently at the fair face under broad Legborn, and reflected that this was to be his cousin. wen.gliding by, and Miss Lulu was courted, as Val ssid, “by i He had kept his promdse to Btep , pouring into her earsthe most glowing accounts of his merits, the most piquant recital of his doings, the most winning reviews of his wit. Miss Lulu listened apparently in wide-eyed wonder, and Val wrots at la. t for Stephen to come down to Redner. Of course ib was understood that after that he was to leave his cousin in full ion of the field, but some- how he was not at all pleased when Ste- phen made the very reasonable sug- estion that he should go away from Be rwro Woods altogether, In short, he went back to town in a very unamia- ble mood. E ing was exceedingly dull just then, and Val was like a fish out of water. There was nothing to do but + git around,” as he said, and when- ever he undertook to do that he fell to thinking of things that made him un- aceountably savage. He began to wish he never had gone down to Redner, for it was evidently there that he had ab- sorbed the germ of this unrest. It was some time before he knew what was the matter with him, and when he did he continued to oppose the conviction. 1t was too—too— too much like retribu- tion that he should have fallen in love with Mies Lulu. He went about ina very miserable haggard and and every- frame of mind, though, Pp , gursing eve. {+1 knew you'd get me into diffoulty I ¢ What's the matte ? “Why, 1 followed your advice to the letter, and what was the conse quence?" “ “You're engaged to Miss Lulu, 1 suppose Sugaged?

This fervent exclamation rather stag gored Stephen, you may suppose.

She met him in the library, but not | with her old cordiality. “1 have a iT errand, Miss | Welwyn,” he said, hurriedly, striving to conceal his emotion. *'My cousin tells me you have refused his offer of marriage.” Lula flashed slightly, but gave a dig- nified assent. “ May I ask,” he went on earnestly, “whether you have fully considered your decision? My cousin is a man that any woman might be proud to win for a husband, He is a noble fellow. He will be rich some of these days, and he certainly is fine looking enough to suit the most fastidions taste, You can- not have fathomed the depth of his na- ture, Miss Welwyn, or you must have | esteemed him more highly," “Tm afraid, Mr. Thorne,” she re- plied, coldly, *that I do not appreciate your perfect men. I never did.” “Stephen does not profess to beany- thing of the kind,” he said, hastily. “You know yourself that he is the soul of modesty. I am speaking of him asl know he is, from leng acquaintance with his character. From my heart I honor him, Miss Welwyn, and, as your | best friend, might urge you to regard his suit with favor.” | “ Your cousin has sn ardent cham- pion, Mr. Thorne," she said, with the same frigid calmness; ** but it is quite impossible for me to marry him. In the first place I do not love him; and, in the second, I would not marry any mau who sought me as his wife only as a mesns to securing a fortune to his friend. Your cousin's conduct is most magnanimons so far as you are con- earned, Mr. Thorne; but I must decline the honor he would confer on me.” “ Upon my soul, Miss Welwyn,” Val said, eagerly, “Stephen would not have lent himself to such a scheme if he had not cared for you. Nothing could have induced him." Then, seeing the scornful smile that played about her lips, his own love leaped beyond all barriers of restraint, and he oried: “You would not make that tell against me, too? I love you! Hear me! I refused to scoede to my uncle's proposition, though he threatened to isinherit me if I would not marry you. I refused ; but Stephen had seen you. He knew you as [ did not, and he offered to Wo my place. Then I came bere, and without intending it, I learned to love—to worship you. For Heaven's sake, believe me! What do I care for the money? Itisyoulwant! If you will not marry Stephen, will yon me? My happiness depends gonl.” She trembled from head to foot, but she evaded his touch, and said, with studied indifference: “I am sorry, Mr. Thorne, but I can- not accept all yousay on faith: Confess yourself; it does seem as though the money were behind the persistent pur- suit of my hand. Luckily, some of my friends bad heard of your uncle's sin- gular exactions. 1 appreciate the honor his preference does me; but I must decline it. There is no necessity, however, of your suffering in con- sequence, You have done your part, snd your uncle must know that you can’t marry me against my will.” Val stood before her with a pale, im- passicned face. “ You do me's great'wrong,” he said, hoarsely. “I love you as truly as ever a man loved in the whole wide world. I swear it! You must believe me, for this is God's truth. Tell me—is there any way?—there must be a way in which I ean prove it to you.” She paused a moment. There was something in his voice and manner which thrust conviction upon her, and her whole attitude changed. Bhe tarned ‘toward him with sudden im- petuosity. # Yes,” she cried, "I will believe you, Mr. Thorne, if—if you are willing to Janene your uncle's fortune for my sake.” «1 will do it gladly,” he answered, seizing her hand and covering it with kisses. “My darling, my sweet little darling I” « But are you willing, Mr, Thorne,” she asked, in a voice that trembled in spite of her efforts to control it, “are you willing to formally make over to your cousin your share of your uncle's money? There is pen and paper. I will marry you only upon condition that ou sign such a contract.” Val had seized the pen while she spoke. Ina few moments he had written and signed this: #1, Valentine Thorne, do hereby formally renounce all claim upon the estate, real or personal, of my uncle, Harry Thorne, and do make over, un- conditionally, to my.cousin, Stephen R. Thorne, any bequest or inheritance {hat may wwdrne to me upon the death of the aforesaid unele. This act to go in force upon the day of my marriage with Mise Lulu Welwyn. “ (Signed) Vanexrose THORNE.” He put this into her hands, saying: “This will leave me nothing but my love to give you.” «Tt is quite enough,” she said, softly. “Go and procure a witness,” he said; «I want it perfectly legal.” She turned and went toward the door, but she paused on the threshold. The next instant, before he knew it, she had torn the paper in pieces and thrown it at her feet, «1 believe you, Val,” she eried, holding out her arms toward him, “I believe you!” He drew her to his heart with a face that shone, «1 will give up anything for you, my love,” hesaid, in a low tone, “There is nothing in this world half so dear to me as yourself, my own little treasure I” Bnt he gave up nothing, in fact, for old Mr. Thorne, whom they agreed not to inform any better, supposed his du- tiful nephew was merely acting in obe dience to his expressed wish, and a handsome bundle of stock and bonds was forthcoming on Val's wedding day. “1 shall do my courting by myself next time,” was Stephen's observation; and he carried it out with the best of results.

In Spain they formed part of the costume of every well-bred person. This absurd use of glasses was meant to increase the gravity of the appearance, and consequently the veneration with which the wearer of them was regarded. A young monk having, through the assistance of his family, caused his convent to succeed in an important law suit, thought himself liberally rewarded when the prior, having embraced him, eaid, to testify his gratitnde: * Brother, put on spectacles I” The glasses of spectacles were proportioned in size to the rank of the wearer ; those worn by the Spanish nobles were nearly three inches in diameter.
