Ile mist!" In the early twilight she glided out and posted her letter. The address was X----, Ohio—full two: days'journey from her present home—and while awaiting an answer, elle had ample time to get over her Ci4istmas annovance and repent of her hasty= action; Wit Gracie did not re pent. It was a deeper feeling than paus ing anger which prompted her, and_ the reply found her still firm in her purpose. It was.not a pleasant scene in her aunt's morning room. when Gracie announced her interaion, Not that her relatives re ally carcd , ---indeed, she felt that Viva, at least, was heartily rejoiced at the prospect of getting her out of the way—but—the looks of the thing. Even 3lrs. Grundy semetitnes becomes the guardian of a pen mless orphan. But Gracie cat her aunt's scolding' and Viva's sneers as short as possible; and having written a short note to Kane IT:Miler—merely telling him that she had gone to seek her fortune, and bidding him trust her and wait fuller es planunens—she started upon her journey —as fnendless, yet as determined, a little girl as ever ventured upon a similar er rand. • It was night when she arrived at her destination, and she could only forma vague, general idea that the house was a pretty villa ou the outskirts of the town, mid that her empbryer—who gave her a reception—waslu gent)eman.

"I am doing these things to-day, to show how I shall expect them to be deco in the future," said' Gra cis, quietly; its she dawnted the coffee into - the silver urn heated to receive it.

"What is his profeseion—this youth who .will some day take you away from me?" he asked quietly ; "A lawyer, sir," answered Gracie, with another blush. "Ali! but isn't that rather—excuse me —but isn't it considered rather a dishon est avocation ?" Gracie flashed out in a little burst of temper, which set Mr.' Brooke's merry gray eyes twinkling. How can von say so when you are one yourself?" slit exclaimed indigne»tly.— " besides, Mr. Ventnor is no pettifogger. It may require years of patience, but he is determined to be nothing less than a biehmiuded practitioner of the law, who will stoop to no low meanness or trickery, and whose glory it will bo to riglit the wrongs of the oppressed. Such is Ms ambition." Mr. Brooke smiled at her significant emphasis. • That is right," he paid, rising from the table. "Shunt up for your friends. I like you all the better for it; and I thank yim sincerely for your confidence. But I must go now=down to my pat ifhgging." Ito went to the door, paused, hesitated, and then came back to the • head of the table where Gracie was 'still sitting: "My dear," he said, jest touching the sunny ripples above her brow,"when I remarked that your innocent isguise was unnecessary, 1 allmhd to the fact that I am an old man—old enough to be your grandfather, I dare say—and moreover, one whose youthful dreams are all buried deep in the septic:her - of the i.gtsC But, upon second thought, I remember that we live in a busy, mischief-making little world, one that, in all these six thousand years of its existence, has not learned the simple lesson of minding its own business —and therefore, ifjt would not be un- pleasant to you, perhaps it would be as I well for you to cull me uncle while you are here. That would effectually silence all gossiping lounges, and be doing -a lonely old man a great favor." Gracie was deeply tonehed by his deli cate kindness.. She could only reply by catching the withered hand and bedewing it with grateful tears. Thus their compact was made. To such neighbors and xisitors as came to the house, she was henitetorward, introduced as " My niece, who has come on from the East to keep house for me." But Gracie soon found that it was not merely nomi nal adoption. Presents, beautiful, and costly, began to flow iu npon.her; books, music, and flowers lending to more sub stantial, things.. There was no, lack now of soft gloves , and dainty laces,, and. the mortifying memory of the coarse green malachites was overshadowed by the titre gleam of lustrous pearls. - , In return for this wonderful kindness, Gracie rendered to her benefactor the care and devotioa of a daughter, .No task was too bard fur her if it could add to the comfort, or sulornmentof his home. Yet, owing to her excellent managemeW4 she was called upon to perform but little act ual labor. Bridget, whose chief fault had been ignorance, gradually came to under stand the beauty and.advantage of doing things well at first,'and as the family was so small, she was abund.mtly capable of doing all that was required. As the soft spring days came on, Gra cia had more and more leisure, and althea any morning she might have been seen out in the garden among her bulbs and seeds, working with - is zeal and taste of an accomplisheddflerist • ' Very . happy days these - were to the Or phan But one thing was needed' to make - her joy complete-- e• Ven tu or's presence: Yet her trust in his constancy was as firm us ever, ; and thottgh her thoughts often turninl eastward itt anx ious longing, no shadow Was ever allowed to dint her face. • During the chilly rains of April, Mfr.

The soft shadows of the summer. even ing were 'falling tenderly over the fragrant gardens and, quiet streets, when she mine down Stairs, 'wearing a - trailing -robe.' of lustrous graytissue, elaborately ruffled,- with a foam li Ice frill et costly lace circling her throat and; wrists, - and , with warm, spicy carnations chistering among her. curls and upon her bosom. The!gentlenian hail arrived,; she could hear the low hum of •txmversation ; but it was growing st. dusk Within - the parlor that she failed to recognize the one , Who rose sO eagerly upon her entrance. It was only when' the - words, "Gracie, m darling, my sovin," fell upon her ears, and the strong arms of Kane Wentnor held her in a close embrace, that she realised the loving little plot which had' been laid for her benefit; and that the glad, bright tears Of gratitude burst forth unchecked.

Down stairs, where the Christmas holly is mingled will, white bridal -blossoms, the guests ambeginning to assemble, and in one, short hoar she will have given to another all that lore can 'give—herself. Presently there is a knock Upon the chamber door,"and the busy maidens are interrupted by the entrance .of Mr; Brooks. Olie moment G,racie,7 he says, pausing just within the threshold. "Some rela tives of mine-some you never have heard of—have seen fit to pay me a visit.' They have just arrived. I have explained to them that they have droppixtin.upen wedding, and must contept themselves with the geaerid entertainment; but I thought ; it better to tell you; that you plight, not be disconcerted bi the presence of straugers."' Gracie wondered who the visitors coidd be, and even fretted a.little on their inop portune coming. But when shU went down ;into the parlor and took her place before the minister, she forgot 111013 en tirely: . • 1t Was not MI the ceremony was over, and the company thronged up with eon gratulations, that she beheld the hard gray eyes of Aunt Charlutte, and the scornfully beautiful ones of Viva fixed up on her in bitterest hate. Like a flash, As understood it all—that this 3lr. Ralph Brooke,whose honsAceeper and niece she had become, was the identi cal "Uncle Ralph" of her relatives'"great expectations; and dreading she scarcely knew not what from their angry surprise, she instinctively dpw closer to her new husband. • But, Mr. N''''entnor though equally as- tonislied,,hail no such fear. In fact, he nither enjoyed the situation, and by a well bred ease of, manner carried the affair ! through without open caclandre. Belpre the company broke up, 3r. Brooke took_ occasion, in the presence of 1 some-of his;best friends astvitnesses,- to bestoW upon 'the bride a deed of gift, con ferring several valuable city lots, together with the pretty villa Immo wherein he re wrved as he said, only a seat by the chim ney cerner. :‘ Spiteful little Mins!" said Viva. "Au artful; desiguing,girlr echoed her mother, as bitterly refusing the hospitali ty, they shook the dust from their feet and drove , to a hotel.
