6 THE SCRANTON - TRIBUNE MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17, 1894. ThHE . . . . ... . OF A BY MRS. ALEXANDER. (Thegft short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach- tiler, ond are printed InTheTrlbune by special arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance In the leading dally Journals of the large cities). "All I can say Is, It's a duece of a bore!" exlalmed Philip Ulount, a mnurt, good-looking lawyer, who was on very good terms with himself, whose age mltfht bo six or seven and twenty, to hl3 particular chum, Tom Marling, a stout, rubicund, horsey stock broker, perhaps a few years older. "Well, It Is rather hard lines," re turned Marling, sympathetically. "If thry had given me timely notice I might have managed to get down to the Orange, but such an abrupt Invito looks as If Owen Dashwood did not want me down there." This dialogue wus going on In the private office of Mr. Marling, where the two men wore discussing a light luncheon of oysters and stout, having a little time to spare at the goneral re freshment hour. lllount was yet only a clerk In the old established lirm of Ardell & Son; but that lirm was now reduced to the surviving son, who was Blount's ma ternal uncle, and a childless widower. Marling was a very well oft bachelor, much given to the good things of this life and Blount's special friend. "Down there" Indicated a picturesque old place called Varlcy Orange, near Maidenhead, at present tenanted by a "My Dear Nephew, I om charming widow, whose charms were enhanced by the possession of nn In come which enabled her to rent such a residence. Here she gave delightful "Friday to Monday" parties, Invita tions to which people fished for eagerly. Gwendoline Dashwood was the daughter of Mr. Ardell'a deceased wife's sister, his ward, and the mistress of his house. Blount raither Imagined his uncle wished to make a match be tween his nephew and niece, and was quite sure of his own wishes on the eubject; for Gwen Dashwood was a bright, attractive brunteet, with big, brown eyes that could say a great deal and he paid assiduous court to the j-uung lady. "Were you asked?" continued Blount. "Lord,, no! I'm not at all up to the mark of Mrs. Cholmondely Morton's parties, not elegant enough by Jong chalks." "BettiT ask you than that beast Ev erard. I'hate the fellow." "Blount, you're a fool!" ! "No more than my neighbors." "Itather less. In a general way; bu' you are a fool about that cousin o' yours." "She Isn't my cousin; she Is no rela lion nt all." "Well, whether she Is or not, you'l lose your game If you lose your bal ance about her. From what I hav." seen, I am Inclined to think you stnn very well with her, and Everard I. much too grim and sour and blacl browed to be a dangerous rival. Br Bides, that Indlnn forestry nppolnt ment of his la no great thing. And the Miss Dashwood is not the girl to thin) of a man who Is obliged to live In th Wilds." "I'm not so sure, Marling. Everari has an Infernal cool air of command ond superiority that Imposes on wo men, and Gwen has a dash of romance in her. I fancy she thinks or sus pects that I am what Bhe would call 'low-minded' because I have the sense to have an eye to the main chance; but I flatter myself, I've been making way with her lately. There's nothing goes down with Uiat sort of girl like an air of being hopelessly gone upon her, and, In fact, I am rather! It's such un common luck to have a fancy for the right young women." "Is she the right one?" "She Is. You see my uncle Is deuced fond of her, and pretty sure to leave her Bhe bigger half of his worldly goods, though he likes me, but If we marry, we'll have the whole." "Admirable reasoning! But If you are. making way, you may snap your lingers at Everard." "I don't know. I got away early last (Week and found him at tea with Gwen, tete-a-tete and after 'sitting out' with Mm for an hour In the conversatory at Lady Dalrymple'g ball, when I went to -claim my waltz, he said, as she took my arm: You must be sure to write at once, remember, in a dictato rial tone,- as If she were his wife, by jove!" Marling laughed. "Well, I know he Isn't one of the Grange party." y "How?" ejaculated Blount. r . Instend of replying, Marling rum maged among some papers which lay" In a square wicker receptable on his knte-hble table; and tossed over a mote to his guest. It was dated the .previous B'at'urday. fromthe "East India Club,',' and ran thus: "Dear Marling: I am not going down to the Grange, nevertheless, I cannot boss NEGATIVE. keep my appolt tment on Monday. I have other and better ilFh to fry and am obliged to run over to the continent on Monday night. Shull write when I know time of my return. Yours truly. "HUGH EVKRARD' "Ah, then he could not have gone to Mrs. Morton's," said Blount, with a flgh of relief. "I can't think how Owen puts up with his overbearing swagger." "Come now, Blount, he doesn't swag ger." "I suppose Gwon will be home to din ner a:t seven. I think I'll go and dine with my uncle In case he feels lonely. He was not at the office today, and I'm not supposed to know that his darling wJll return to cheer him.".. "Prudent young chap, you are! Go on and prosper, Blount, my boy." The aspiring young lawyer carried out his Intention and presented himself to his uncle a few minutes before seven In accurate evening dress, a dainty flower In his buttonhole and a smile upon his lips. Altogether a handsome, gentleman-like 'looking young fellow, and steady, decidedly steady, thought Mr. Ardell, who was spelling over an evening paper somewhat disconsolately In his big ind bounteously ornamented drawing room. Delighted to See You.' Mr. Ardell -w.-isa -woll-nreserved man of perhaps sixty-five very precise and a little exacting, with severe nations as regarded conduct, principle, Integrity and such like old-fashioned laws of life. "Ah, Philip! This la an unexpected plnasure. Glad to see you." "Thank you, eir. Thought you might like my company, as probably Gwen may not return and " "Or jiosslbly that you might find her here? Eh, Philip? Very natural, my dear boy. Very naltural. Still your Im pulse Is somewhat prophetic." Mr. Ardeill stretched out his hand for a yellow envelope which lay on a small table beside (him. "I fully expected Gwendoline to luiicheon,"and not feel ing quite the thing, a little liverish In fae t, I had ordered James to meet the 12.30 itraJn from H to look after her luggage and find her a cab, when, about 11.45, I received this," handing a tele gram to Blount, who read: "Shall be home tonight. G. D." "That means by the last train, I sup pose," said Blount. "No doubt. Very thoughtful of her, knowing she was expected and that I should nend to merit every train till she arrived. She sends this to keep my nlnd nit rest." "When is the last train due?" "About 10.20," returned Mr. Ardell. "Then I shall go and meet her and ring her back. I noed not leave you -111 9.50. A hansom will rattle across ho park to the Great Western In twen y minutes." "Yes, do, Philip. Gwendoline will be ;lad to see you. There is a Bmdshaw n the dining room. We'll make a note f the time." "Dinner Is on the table," said James, he solemn man out of livery, who ruled me lower regions. Philip Blount followed Mr. Ardell down stairs contentedly enough, though, being somewhat given to sus picion and self-tormenting, he debated that telegram In his own mind Why did she not say "shall return by such or such a train?" Why did she leave things In "such a vague condition? James might have been dancing at tendance at Paddlngton from 6.30 on, leaving his functions to be Indifferent ly performed By the housemaid and re ducing Mr. Ardell to the inconvenience of a female waiter.

Gardens remarkably good a matter of no small importance in Blount's eyes and Mr; Ardell was exceedingly con versational In a careful and didactic manner throughout it. . When desert was put on the table and James departed a Bhort pause en sued; then Mr. Ardell said: ,"I think you will find a fresh Bradshaw on the writing table in the window. Let us make sure ot the train before you start." Philip rose and went to the table whence he returned with Bradshaw and another book, handsomely bound In deep red with gold letters and dec orations. "You are right," he said, "the R train Is due at 10.20." He handed Brad shaw to his uncle and continued: "I see you have Everard's book here. 'Life in the Wild Woods.' I don't fancy him in print doesn't give me the idea of a writing man." "I have not read the work," returned his uncle, with a tinge of disdain in his tone. "That copy was presented to Gwendoline. I was rather annoyed at her accepting it, though I do not very well see how she sould have refuced tt. But Mr. Everard Is not a mun I like. He Is pretentious and dictatorial. In fact, Inclined to take, liberties, or I should say, he presumes on some con nection with old friends of Gwendo line's to come here much oftener than I like, and assume a familiar tone with my niece of which I totally disapprove." "Yes, my dear uncle, I have noticed It also, and It makes me indignant. However, he has gone to the continent and" "Why, yes, I know. He wrote to Gwendoline explaining why he could not go to this party and mentioned that he was going abroad, a very unneces sary proceeding, as I told my niece." "And what did she say?" "Well, she laughed and said that for all I knew, It might be very necessary." "A curious nnswer," said Blount un easily. "What do you make of It?" "What I? Oh, nothing. It is really unimportant, only I fancy that Mr. Everard aspires to a matrimonial al liance with us. rather an audacious project on his part." "I should think it was!" cried Blount.

In fact, she would not offend me by en tertaining any proposal from Mr. Ever ard," Interrupted Ardell. "I fancy you are aware, my dear Philip, that my trreat wish is to see my nephew and niece united before I die not only bo cause I am attached to you, but both and each would then be benefited equally by what I may be enabled to bequeath." "And I desire nothing so ardently," cried Philip, as to call her my wife. In fact, I have loved her ever since she came from school to reside here." "I have suspected It, Philip. I. have suspected It." returned his uncle, play ing with the double eyeglass which hung from his neck. "But, my dear boy, I am not so sure of her." "I am not without hope. If only no one comes between us." There was a long pause, each being occupied with his own hopes and fears for the future. Suddenly Hlount exclaimed: "Could one drive from Paddlngton to Charing Cross in half an hour, with a minute or two to spare?" "Yes. If the streets, were not crowded, and the horse a good one. Why do you ask?" "Oh. nh, I only wanted your opinion. That Is, my dear uncle, I have an awful dread of that fellow Everard, and It's curious, but this morning I saw a note from him saying he was going to start for the continent this evening, or some time today. Could it be" he stopped abruptly. "He what?", asked Mr. Ardell, put ting on his glasses to gaze at the speaker. . (To be Continued.)
