DRIVEN TO MARRIAGE.
Everj body declared that Hugh Cole
wood onght to be the happiest min in
Greenville.
He was yon eg, handsome and well
educated ; then, just A3 he was preparing
to fight big way to fame with poverty ar
rayed aaint him, he had suddenly been
made the sole heir to the line old estate
of hia eccentric aant, Miss BeUy Cole-
wood, recently deceased.
What more was necessary to the hap-
pine. of a gay young fellow like Hugh
Colewood? Nothing, it seemed to the
envious bachelors.
However, there were conditions, or
one at least, in bin aants wiilwnica
caused him no little uneasiness. He must
love and marry the girl of her choice, one
whom he hod never seen.
Hugh Colewood caught np his aunt's
last letter to him and read it again and
again, hoping to find some little loop
hole of escape from the gall'ngeondition.
Bat it was there in merciless black and
white. This is the part that worried
kim.
"If you cannot comply with my wish
es lor you to meet r.tnet ntyse and
love and marry her, yoa forfeit toot
heirship to my estaU-s. Ethel's mother
was my dearest friend, and if you marry
ber daughter it will be fululling my
fondest desires. You cannot help lov
ing her.
"I could not rest in my tomb peaceful
y and know that Ethel was cot mistress
of my estates, and you aear boy, tiie
master. My lawyer, Mr. Cranston, will
arrange far you to meet Ethel, as he ia
one of her guardians. You know how
thoroughly I despise old bachelors there
fore I give you warning that I will not
allow you to inhabit my hooaeand lands
as one of that disagreeable, crusty order."
So had written the eccenlrtc spinster.
Hugh nibbled the ends of his mustache
impatiently as he pondered on the con
ditions which the wl'.i imposed.
Hugh loved the Colewood estate, and
could not bear to think of giving them
up. Now, if the will had not specified
whom he must marry, but left the selec
tion cf a wife entirely to himself, Hugh
believed that he would have enjoyed the
romance of hunting for a bride.
He picked up his hat and rushed from
his room, going up to the hotel where
Mr. Cranston was stopping, while he ar
ranged soue business matters with Hugh
"Hello, Colewood ! Have a seat," said
the lawyer, scrutinizing the flashed face
and nervous manner of his visitor. He
was just wondering to himself if tht un
expected good fortune kad lurne-' young
Colewood's head, when his visitor re
marked :
""ou are aware of that one peculiar
feature in my late aunt's will, Mr. Cran
ston ?"
L:ght at once dawned upon the law
yer, and there was a twinkle in bis eyes.
However, he asked indifferently :
"To what peculiar feature .'o yoa re
fer, Mr. Colewood?"
"The one that absurdly commands me
to marry a girl that I have never seen.
'Oh, that returned Mr. Cranston.
Y'ou are a lucky fellow, Colewood.
That's the best part of the fortune."
"It's the most exasperating part,"
Hugh cried desperately. "How can a
fallow love and wed to order?"
"Well, it's a deal of time and bother
saved to the wooer," remarked the law
yer, puling. "I've no doubt Ethel
Wayne will suit yoa better than any se
lection you are capable of making."
Hugh Colewood flushed warmly at the
lawyer's cool observation and he spoke
hotly.
Tm eure she won't suit me, air. The
estate can go to charity for all I care. I
don't love any woman, and X love my
freedom too well to marry yet a bile.
I don't want to be thrust upon any wo
man for the sake ef a fortune, and I don't
suppcae Miss Wayne cares two straws
about the absurd condition in my aunt's
will."
"It ia very likely, although Ethel had
the greatest respect for the late Miae
Colewood, and was very careful to hu
mor all her vagaries," rrtunied.Crariston,
much amused over young Colewood's ex
citement. "However, I hardly feel able
to state wether the girl would accept
Miss Colewood's last vagary in the shape
of her impulaive nephew, or not,"
"I shall not give her the opportunity,"
said llaghgettled at the lawyer's words.
"Hold on, Colewood. Let's drop non
sense and coaoe to buxineas. Yoa like
your aunt's estate, but yoa cannot retain
thetn without complying with her wish
es. Yoa have never met the girl whom
3IAY 11, 1892.
your aunt ha chosen. Ferhapa it will
be proven that yoa are neither of yoa op
posed to fuliilling the condition.
"At least yoa must meet. I will ar
range thai- Ethel will pass the summer
with my sister in the country and 111
manage it for yoa to spend a few wewks
with them. You can very soon tell
whether the condition ia wholly obnox
ious or not. What do yoa say V
"I will do as yoa advise, thank you,
sir," replied Hugh, who had now cooled
off and was trying to take a business view
of the strange situation.
Four weeks later Hugh Colewood was
speeding away from Greenville on the
morning express, bound for a little town
among the blue bills of Virginia.
When he stepped from the train he
was disappointed to dnd no one waiting
to convey him to the country ho ne of
Mr. Cranston's sister a Jistance of eight
miles.
He was in tae act of asking the way to
the bst hotel when a buggy came rapid
ly up to the station and halted.
The station agent hurried forward to
meet the driver, who was a alender young
girl, with bright, dark eyes and hair as
golden as the June sunbeams touching
those hills.
"Is Mr. Cofcwood, of Greenville, wait
ing here to ride out to Mr. Thurston's?"
inqiired the fair driver in a sweet voice
which won Hugh's interest at once.
"I am here and waiting, thank y ja,"
returned Hugh for himself, smiling pleas
antly as he came forw ard on the station
platform.
"I came to drive ycu to Mrs. Thurs
ton's," she answered simply.
Lall I take the reins?" he adked as
they started away.
"No, thank you ; I like to drive," she
answered.
"It was too bad for you to take so long
a drive for a stranger," he rr mated as he
stole a side glance of admiration at the
girlish form in dainty blue.
"Ob, I didn't mind the distance at all ;
besides, I rather had to xe," she repli
ed ; "I did wish tog with the young
folks who are having a picnic this ui'irn
icg over on Laurel hill, but Uncle Jerry
was sick, and of course he couldn't come
for you.
'Then Mrs. Thurston and Miss Wayne
never drive, so they made a virtue of
necessity and sent the last resort of the
place," and she laughed merrily.
"It ia too bad my coming prevented
yoa joining the picnickers," he saij, "I
all not be able to forgive myself."
"That's nothing. I am enjoying my
self cow too well to think of Laurel hill,"
she returned brightly.
"Thank you, and at the same time let
me assure you that I, too, am enjoying
myself excellently well," and Hugh bow
ed to the young girl, n hose eyes drooped
beneath the warm light cf admiration in
his blue ones.
'I hope you will enjoy your viiit, Mr.
Colewood," she said, to charge the sub
ject. "I know Mrs. Thurston and Ethel
will do ail they can to make yoursray
pleasant."
'Thank you ; I've no doubt I shall find
it pleasant," returned Hugh, "loatoo,
are one of Mrs. Thurston's summer house
hold, I suppose V
"Yes," with a emile. "Yoa see I am a
distant relative to Mrs. Thurston ; then
Miss Wayne ia my cousin and exercises
a kind of cousinly guardianship over me,
which no doubt ia very necessary.
"So tou are Miss Wavne's cousin? I
do not remember hearing Mr. Cranston
mention you. I did not expect to ha e
the pleasure of meeting any ladies but
Mrs. Tborston and Mie Wayne."
"How unkind in Mr. Cranston not to
prepare yoa for this meeting," and there
was a roguish gleam in her eyes which
Hugh did not nee. "I had up to date re
garded Mr. Cranston as one of my very
best friends, but to ignore me so utterly,
when he knew I would accompany
Coc-in Ethel here, locks like downright
intentional neglect."
"Yoa have not given me the pleasure
of knowing your name," said Huh, both
amused and pleased with Lis pretty
driver.
"Ob, I'm a Wayne, too," she aasercd
laughingly. '"Ethel Estelia Wayne, va
riously nicknamed, as you will observe
later on."
Two Ethel Waynes! Here was a real
surprise for Colewood. Why ha 1 Crans
ton not mentioned that strange fut to
him?
If the Ethel Wayne referred to in the
will wasonly half as animated and gen
erally captivating as the cue by his si.ls
Hugh thought it might be an easy matter
after ail to obey that condition shich had
so vexed him,
Colewood received a cordial welcome
at Mrr Thurston's pleasant home. He
found Mias Wayne to be a tall, digniiied
girl of about twenty-three, with coal
black hair and deep gray ey. She was
as unlike her little merry hearted cousin
as it was possible to be.
Yea, Hugh decided she was just such
a woman as his eccentric aunt would be
likely to select as the wife of her heir.
In the weeks which followed Hugh's
arrival he saw a great deal of Mis
Wave, although much of her time was
divided between her Liate for Tterature
and in remonstrating against the inno
cent pranks of her cousin.
It did not require a long time for the
young man to realize that he could never
love Miss Wayne as the maa should love
the girl whom be intends to marry.
He made another important discovery,
that his life would be a failue without
the little cousin te furnish daily sun
shine and wifely cheer for his own home.
He resolved to let Miss Wayne have
one-half of his aunt's estates and the
orphan asylum the other. He would
marry the girl of hi own choice, provid
ed he could win her, and boldly fight his
own way through tife.
Having so decided, Hugh set out for a
stroll along the rwer, feeling more man
ly for his resolve.
He came suddenly npon a little figure
in white, residing, in a little viney nook
by the river's side.
Wait, Estelle," he called, for she had
a arted to run away; "I shall leave to
morrow, and I have something to say to
yoa which yoa must Lear."
The telltale flash which swept over
face and neck at bis words might have
given some hint of an easy surrender.
However, in a moment she bad regain
ed that customary piquancy which had
more than once exasperated Hagh.
"I'd be sorry to have yoa leave as with
any burden on your mind," she said p re
era
voking! y.
"It is needless Ljt mo to tell you why
it was arranged for me to meet Miss
Wayne here," he said, unheeding her
light words. "Yoa know, I suppose."
"Some alight idea, I believe she return
ed, fingering her book.
"Weil, I may as well tel! yoa that con
dition in my late aunt's will nevr be ful
filled." "And hy cot?"
"Eecaa-e I love another," he cried pas
sionately. "Ob, Eelie: can yoa cot
see .how tenderly, how arlent'y I Kve
you ? Without you I shall make a fail
ure of life. Won't you show mercy,
Estelle r
"Oh, Hugh! would yoa marry a poor
girl when yea have a chance to win a
dignified briJe and retain those princely
estates?" sheakL
"Yes, darling. I prefer yoa with love
in a cottage to the wealthiest woman
with all the estate in the world 1"
"Kish statement," young man.
"It is true. Do no: torture on longer.
Ertelle. Can yoa not love me a little
"No."
"Then yoa do not ioe me?"
-I'm afraid I d .j."
"Io not mock me, Estelle."
I am not mocain tou. H-Ji, '-n a
very swoet voice.
"Then you do love me a little?"
"No, not a little, but very much."
He would have caught her to his breast
but she eluded his arre-i, crying -
"Oh, there's Uncle Cranston '." and she
rushed forwarl to greet the little lawyer,
who was approaching them un?n.
"It is u-jcless fr raj to ignora factj,"
said Mr. Cranston pleasantly. "I did U"t
nifan to ovarhar yoar conversation, bat
I arrived unexpectedly and thought I'd
hunt up my sprite here aad surprise her.
I see you undcrslan 1 each c'.iifr pre'.ty
ciearty."
"Y'e. sir," siiJ Hgh bravely ; "I hiva
decided to enjsy love in a cottage with
this dear girl rather thaa keep the estatd
with Miss Wayne."
"Love in a cottag! Oh, that's too
gll"
Ani Mr. Cranston broke into a hearty
lasgh, in which ths girl finally jinI
him.
"Will yoa have the gx!n3 to
p'ain what amti-s you so muA in my
siatetneat?" aked Hugh, not a little
nettled.
"Pardon me, Colewood. Fut, really
you are the victim of your own blunder."
"Blunder? I don't uaderstaal you,
sir, returned Hugh.
"Of course not," and the lawyer laugh
ed again.
This sprite, whom yoi took J
to be the unimportant little cousin, is in
reality the Ethel Wayne referrjl to ia
