JOHN U.MANN
"No, sir, I can't bay yes to any snch
noneense," said Mr. I'bilbrick "old
LbAon I'hilbriok," all Iho irreverent
youngsters of Hartley , Comers called
him. "Why? "Simply because my
niece ctn do' bitter. Isn't that a good
reason? I think It one of the best of
reasons. Uood, better, Dest. iou may
be a man to make ber happy, therefore
a match with you would be a good one,
But the man I have in view for he.r would
not only make her happy, but he's got
Komething besidn his head and hands lo
live on. Therefore a match with bim
would be a better one, don't you see?"
"No, I don't see it so," answered Mark
Anderson, "because she loves me aud not
the man you've set your heart on her
marrvlng."
"Love! Fudgel" exolalmed bachelor
Fhilbrick, disdainfully. "I have livid
twioe as loug as yon have, young man.
and I never was in love yet."
Were you eTt'r la England?" asked
iJrk.
"No, and never want lobe," answered
Mr. Phiibrick.
'Then why aren't yon logical, and
argue because you were never there that
there Is no such place as England? You
might just as well do that as to pretend
that there is no such thing as love be
cause you never experienced it.'"
: "I dou't want any words with you,"
responded Mr. Phiibrick. "I won't have
any. You're like all other young men
'of, these days; you tbiuk you know n
good deal more about matters and things
and what's for the best, than older heads
do. I calculate to look ont for my own

"I am sure that I bare uo intention of
trying to bjmkorzle you,' auswered
ijark. "I have your niece's promise to

obtain your consent to our marriage.
Ilut if jou eh ooao to refus9 it for no bet

"Eh! What's that?" exehlmed Mr,
Phiibrick. "My niece marry you againkt

cent of my property. Not a cent, sir."
"I dou't know as ate wants any of it,'
answered Mark, ' proudly. "I have (wo

a big heart, and I'll see that she doesu
come to want."
"Ob, fiddlesticks!" exclaimed Mr.
rtiijbilck, with infinite contempt

Then you'll sing a different song. Why,

'."lam greatly obliged, I'm snre, for

your neice. I want bcr becauso I love
her, and because she loves me. But
your mind is rondo np, and there is uo
use in wasting words about the matter.
Good afternoon, sir."
And Mark bowed himself out,
"I must say I like his grit." admitted
bachelor I'bilbrick, as the, young man
went down the walk. "But the idea of
marrying for love, when there's money
to be made in tho transaction! Stuff and
uonscusel"
Two days later Kittie came to him
with the traces of tears on her pretty
face, but n look of quiet determination
abbwed through them.
Undo John," she said very calmly,
but iu u tone that told her miud was ful
ly made up, "I am going to marry Murk

"Just as you please," answered her
uucie, , "It doesn't concern ,mo any.
