Since the death of his wife, whom he had tende rly loved, his danghter had been dearer to him than anything on earth, and he did not like to looking unhappy. “What is the day's programme, Evie?" he asked, quite mildly. “Hadn't you better drive down with me to Chester and see the Lyne girls while I call on my lawyer?” ‘No, thank you, papa. The Lyne girls are coming here to tea and cro- quet this afternoon.” “Ah! And who have you to meet them ?" Eva's hand was a little unsteady as she poured out the coffee, and her sunt, Miss Maddox, quietly answered for her: ‘Young Mr. Moffit and his sister, and the Harmon girls and Jack River. ton, and Mr. Patton friend with him.” The squire’s brow darkened “Wasn't Jack Riverton here dav?” “No, not yesterday.

And. of course, you can't blame him for coming with the rest.” Eva's soft, dark eyes had filled with tears. “Papa,” she said, with a littl tremor in her voice, ‘*why do you ob- ject to Mr Riverton? Everybody likes him but you.” The squire hesitated a full half min ute, as he make = fully buttering his eR. “I have nothing against the young man’s character,” he sajd at length, still more impatiently, “but I don't like him personally —that is, his ways, I wish to hear and see no more of him if possible. 1 object decidedly, Eva, to your accepting the attention which he has recently been paying you, and I must request you, Matilda, not to encourage his visits here." “I am sure I don't encourage him,” Miss Matilda replied, bristling a little, well aware in her own mind that Mr Riverton needed no encouragement from her. “But I can't understand, brother, what you can find to object to in Jack Riverton's manners. Every one says they are delightful, and you never found fault with him until bs . IRE pretense of cars lately, “That is just it. His manners have entirely changed of late.

He should come to me in the first place and say frankly that he wishes my consent to his ad- dressing my daughter as ho—or— finds that be or has a regard for her, or something vlain and simple of that kind. But Riverton is a spoony, and is making a fool of himself, If there is auytbing that I thoroughly despise, it is 10 soe a tall young fellow like that Inoguishing around a woman, making sheop’s eyes at her on all oconsions— even in church—snd dawdling about for hours in the moonlight, repes and eslling her darling au , snd other such baby names, It's disgusting 1" Here Eve, whose checks had been ually sseuming the hue of the rose which was pinned at her throat, suddenly leaned back in her chair aud burst into tears. — She knew now that papa mrvst have overheard that talk betvoen herseli and Jack, when they sat in the moon- light under the drooping roses right beneath his open window, And she had never dreamed that papa conld be mean enough—-no, she would not say that—but unfeeling enough to listen. As she softly cried, with her dainty handkerchief pressed to her eyes, she heard her father's concluding words. “When you find a» man making love in this idiotic way, you may be posi- tive of one thing—that the love is only skin-dzep. and that he will make an indifferent, if not a bad hue“ and, For this reason I object to Mr. Jack River- erton courting my daughter,” That evening, in the quiet twilight interval between tea and er quet, Eva took occasion to convey to Mr. River- { ton a warning hint of what her father | expected of them in the future, Jack knew-—as did most of the squire’s acquaintances—that despite a ‘‘good heart at bottom,” the old gen { tleman was apt to take up absurd and { unreasonable prejudices, and to stick to them with tenacious obstinacy especially when he found himself op- posed. But on thisoceasion the young man’s spirit rose in high rebellion, and fit took all Eva's influence to pacify | him, “No, Jack,” she said, with a gentle firmness, in reply to his excited re marks, “‘“you must not speak to papa at present.
