I was afraid that new bonnet of mine was rather too gay.;' And Miss Cameron shook her head, and looked prudent and ajittle sad. Here, at an age when romance seemed" o have entirely departed from her life, it had returned to peep In at her windows, and propriety de manded that ths should drive it away, it was really too bad, fliss Cameron confessed Ui herself. Just at thhi tmomcnt, in the handsome house on the hill, Mr. Gordon Cross, a bach elor of fifty five.rang his bell for his servant who answered It with a pitcher of warn' water in bis hand. . "I'm lato this moraine", Sf Ills," said Mr. Cross, as Iho man arranged bis shaving ap paratus. "Half an hour late. I suppose my iuug warn ui yeaieraay is tue cause oi my oversleeping myself.

"Yes, sir," replied Mills. It's abou them ypungebaps, sir. They're going La play an April fool trick on you sir." "IIol hal" laughed .Mr. Cross'. 'Very good. And you warn me beforehand that I may have the best of them? Very good, Mills." "Yes, sir," said Mills. "Yog see.lsst eve ning, about nine o'clock, when you was out I was sitting in the butler's pantry reading my bit of news out of thf morning papers, and I hears such a laughing and giggling from the youn; gentlemen that I couldn't help a a sort pf a " "Listening," j.rompted' Mr. Cross. "Yes, sir," replied Mills, "for when them, two gets togetnw mischief is a brewing you may depend.

And Mills put Into Mr. Cross's hand the billet-doux that Miss Cameron had received tbe day. before. It's the single lady In tho whlto house with wisterias over tbe porch," said Mills. "It's her as tlfty has writ to the one thai went by with a kitten In, a basket last week and you asked mo who sho was." "Yes, yes j an agrceablo looking lady,' said Mr. Cross. Good heavens, Mills, how dare theso Imp's play such a trlpVon. me.?" "If you please, sir, they said that when she answered it, you'd think she was going to offer herself, being it's leap year, and bo scart'd id death," said Mills. , "I scared by a letter from a lady.l I'ye re ceived such things before," said Mr. Cross "This Is quite unendurable." Aim he descended to breakfast, Irl n. state of indignation tterty Inllcsc'ribablB. Before he had fiuished his meal the bell rang, and a messenger handed In a note for Mr. Cross. It was Miss'Cameron's reply to the letter she had received, and It ran thus: Mr. Cross Sir: Your noto.iiso respect ful that I venture, to reply tp.lt.

Romanco had gotten tho belter of propri ety, and theso last lines wero Miia Camer on's compromise fvltli the latter. Mr. Crosj siiook his. head solemnly j his path seemed set with thorns. "I will think the matter over as I eat my breakfast," he said, and Miljsjvfho; wailed on hlm,watched him narrowly. Bo did that lcSiie-grce,.his nephew, Jimmy Cross, who, having finished his own meal, smoked a cigar on the porch In company with his fricndarrl Humphrey. This scapo-graco was Bachelor Cross's nephewjwhom ho had recently taken lo live with him Slid who had no doubt of being his heir. James was nineteen. Idle) jolly, and in his own opinion, very witty, in that of others but slightly biirthtned with brains. Sam, his friend, was his elder by one year, and the plot they had concocted was tho re sult ot mutual intellectual effort. Possibil ity of detection had not occurreS ttj either oilKctri. . . . "Kunky has got tho letter," said Jamcs after awhile, when Mr. Cross, after iilcniiy eating hia breakfast went up stairs. "Let's watcii Kim," replied Sam. "By Jove, he's going out.'.' . , "Prinking at. Hid glass," a'ddeti , James. "Gqifag to call.or I'm mistaken," respond ed Sam. . And In fyfcjv moments more Mr, Qrpas ac tually walked out of tho door, wearing his new sprang overcoat apr a, a!rpf llghtgloves end betook himself forlwilh to the, cottage with the wislerio-covered purch. Tho two brilliant youths watched him out of sight, ann men burst, into rpara tit laughter, and actually rolled upon the lawn In spasms of delight; Mills, watched them grimly from his masler's windowas ho brushed his coat and-set the toilet table to.nehts. jur. t;ross was ine most nerrect rentieman ,ti. --r ,i " and tho rrjore' hej thought the tnnttcrover the more ho felt it his. duty to save the ladv's feelings at any cost,.

As be dressed himself for the call, an odd thought came into his mind. ..Tho iady wai corlalnly. r.efy lino looking, evidently a most correct person. He was not a plain man, and though elderly, not tho antiquated person his nephew evidently considered him. , , . , "Upon my word I never thought of such a thing before but why shouldn't J marry and have some one to care, whether Icotfe home or not? .A lady of mature years, yet not old, is certajnly tho proper person for trie. Pulynnpia I00' marries a young girl who might be his daughter, and I'll tfiink it over. And romanco crept into the heart of Bachelor Cross as It had Into tfcai of Miss Cameron. In this mooS he made his call his first For the next, month or two James and Sam watched the old gentleman with the greatest glee. At the end nf that time, .s they sat enjoying their joke upon the porch j Mi Ills. brushing up, the fallen leave's in the path, thus addressed them: "S'poseyou don't know the news gentle men?" "What news.?'.' asked Jim, eai ""re-piled "Master is going to be ma'rn Mills. "Pshaw 1" cried Jim. "Oh . von think because he goes over to'ffiss Ca'njoftm's so mttoh. Wo know all about that." "Do you?" said Mills, grinning. "I tell you the day is fixed for tho first of Au'iuit, Somebody put a kind of April fool trick on master and that lady over there, and he found it out, but .his manners Isn't what young folks' manners Is, Ho up and braved it out, not to hurt her feelings. And the end Is, he's fell In lore, and they're to be married on the first of August," , Jim looked at Sam', Cam looked at Jimj anil, both walked away crestfallen, leaving Mills grinning in the garden path.' He bad tojd' the truth. Bachelor Crops had really fallen in love with .Miss Camtron, and In August they were married and be came what is generally denominated a very ftappypair,, ,,,, A year later master James was called into bis uncle's study. "Jjtn," said th c'der gentleman, "I In tend to put you Into business. When I sent, Tor you it was In the belief that I should never marry, and that I would make you my heir. HoweVer, matters have turned out differently, and as, between you, snd me, I know that you were instrumental in bringing my marriage about, you can't com plain. I must think first of my own child. But if you take advantage of you opportuni ties, and aro lndustrious,you make can yo ur sclf rich, which will be best for you, after all." . . Jim bowed. He was In a very solemn mood, and it occurred to him, that his trick. bad been rather played upon himself than upon his uncle. - . No to oil iretcliliir.
