NED WHISTON'S SWEETHEART.
I.—HEARTS AND TARTS.
Have you never observed that certain shops
seem to have been taken at along lease by
Failure, and underlet to unfortunate specula
tors, who struggle for a little while to estab
lish a business, and then suddenly vanish ?
No. 10 Dreary Street, Bedford (Square, held
this unsatisfactory position in the world of
trade. It had been a grocery for three months
when creditors came and removed the stores,
leaving, nothing behind but a mixed smell of
tallow • and molasses. A watchmaker had
teed to establish himself there, but his strong
est magnifying glass, though ever glued told()
eye, failed to detect a customer, and no sound
was ever heard in his shop but the tic—the
tic douloureux—of his merchandise. Of
course his affairs were soon wound up. Then
a crinoline merchant made an indelicate exhi
bition of feminine undergarments, without,
however, adding to the bustle of the estab
lishment. It was now devoted to refresh
ment, but stomachic puffs tempted the passers
by as little as the dorsal had done ; ginger
beer ruled flat, lemonade tvos a drug, buns
were heavy, and poor Annie Johnstone found
the problem of keeping the wolf from the door
—the wolf which no king or parliament can
extirpate—more dillicult to solve daily. She
sat behind her little dingy counter writing a
letter, with but small chance of a customer
coming in to interfere with the work of com
position.
" DEAR I:Nl'i.y. WILLIAM ' —Papa told
me I was never to apply to you, because you
had helped hint once, and had refused to (It)
so again, and you were displeased because we
tried to keep a shop, which indeed has been a
very lame attempt, for there is no chance of
the ship's keeping its. disobey Wm now,
because I do not know what else to do. I
have not seen or heard of papa for five clays,
and almost fear that something may have
happencd to hint. though he often has tic hide
fair a little time, because of creditors ; for he
has not been much more successful in getting
to sell coal or wine on commission, or as an
agent for insurance companies, thanj have
been as a confectioner, and he has not brought
me any money now for a long time. Ile
hinted to me that he might go abroad, but I
hardly think he would have done that without
letting me know ; and yet he was always MO
afraid'of his letters being stopped, and helping
people to trace him, that he may have done it.
If the rent is not paid by Monday, I shall be
turned out of the house ' and then what ant 1
to do? You see, dear Uncle William, I am
obliged to write to you, because I have no one
else to ask ; and if you will not put me in the
way of earning my living somehow, I must
positively beg, and that would be even more
discreditable than selling, or trying to sell,
pastry, wouldn't it ? It really is not my fault ;
I have tried my best, and dined on stale lams
for days and days.
" Your affectionate niece,
" ANNIE JOHNSTONE."
She directed this letter to " John
stone, Esq.. Jost: Ilium , Villa. Southend," and
Mid it on the counter before her just as a. cus•
tooter came in,—a very young man, with very
shiny boots and hat, brilliant gloves. and a
natty umbrella, who saluted on entering in a
manner not customary amongst Englishmen,
who generally remain covered in a shop, how
ever attractive of it the mistress may be.
Goal morning, Miss Johnstone," said he,
in an embarrassed way : " 1 have come for my
luncheon."
If the youth looked embarrassed, the girl
looked vexed. She colored over her forehead,
nial knit her brows strangely, considering

"1 have no soup, and sherry is out."
" Well, nosy I think of it, I alt tired of

" I cannot give you those either," said she.

she exclaimed with uncalled-for vehemence :'

" YoUr pastry, though not, perhaps, quite

"You conic here out of charity !" cried the
girl, bursting into tears. " You think I am

was faint as well as anxious, appreciated it
too. It sounds shockingly unromantic to
suppose that eating and drinking can have
any connection with the affections, yet there
seems an incompleteness about either the
friendship or the love upon which the diges

earner of the shop was visible front the street,
and as for asking her lover into the back-par
lor while her hither was absent, Annie was
far too correct a girl to think of such a thing,
and, indeed, Master Ned had not the impu
dence to hint at all invitation of the kind be
ing welcome. So they ratified their engage
ment with oysters and porter seated opposite
to each other at a little round marble-topped
table; and when the meal was concluded,
they felt as it' they hod been acquainted for
months.
On returning so late to the office the day
beftfre, Neff Whiston had been subjected to
troublesome questioning as to what Be had
' been doing with himself all the time, so he
j took care In leave early to-day, announcing his
intention of returning at the same hour on the
morrow.
DM on the following morning he was sent
off to Chester with certain important deeds.
That was on Thursday, and- he did not get
back till Saturday night ; and as he lived at
home, some lilt een miles out of town with ob
r servant relat ves, he could not get away on
the Sunday without exciting awkward curi
osity ; su that it was not till luncheon time on
Monday that he entered Dreary Street with a
throbbing heart. 'rite shutters were up at

" She has gone away, then ?
Bless yon, yes; didn't I say:so? A gentle
man, not tier latter, came in a cab at twenty
tivb minutes past tot yesterday nursing, or
pernaps it might be a little nearer the half

That was all the information Ned 'sVhiston
could get at the time ; but when he revisited
the spot later in the day, he found a weazened

coming out of No. 10, and Ned asked bins if
lot knew What had happened.
" Yes," replied the man ; " the father's

am done out of my rent,—that's what has
happened."

tO Jersey and he Iturriod to London at once,
and brought Annie to his Chinese home with
despatch and secrecy. " I am glad to adopt
I you, my dear;" he said ; " b - ut 1 do not want
to adopt all your creditors."
It had been a struggle to Mr. Johnstone to
break up the ordinary routine of his existence
by establishing his niece as mistress of what
had now for years been a bachelor home ; but
it almost always pays to do the right thing,
and he was rewarded for his conquest of habit
and indolence by being released front the
thrall of his housekeeper ' tyranical, stupid,
pilfering, tipping dame, to whom lie had not
dared to mention Iris intentions with respect
to Annie, which indeed had front the circum
stances of the case been necessarily conceived
and executed very suddenly, and upon whom
this niece of her master's (term of courtesy)
burst therefore like a thunderbolt front a clear
sky. As Annie was very young and quiet in
manner, Mrs. Gobble lobed at first, indeed to
overawe her, but soon finding that she bad
met her match, her emotions . because to much
for her, and, combined perhaps with an Juju
, dieious amount of nourishment, brought her
gout to such climax that she could not even
play at doing her work, and had to retire.
Annie's society had one curious effect upon
her uncle : it resuscitated all his hankerings
after a second marriage. For if he was to
have a lady at the head of his house, why, he
reasoned with himself,•slifiuld it not tie a wife?
So a flirtation which had been budding be
tween Mr. Johnstone and Miss numptree of
Southend, fur the last three years began to
throw out decided shoots. It wits not so very
absurd. Mr. Johnstone,was a little over six
ty, and Miss Plumptree was a little over forty.
Both were comfortably oil; and calm and sober
leanings towards matrimony. Miss Pluratree
was not only forty but fair and fat—just such
a figure its the monarch of Mr. Johnstone's
soul would have admired ; and this fact ten
ded greatly to teed the mature flame. Then
there was increased intimacy, for whereas he
had occasionally before his niece came to live
with him, he now saw her almost.- daily, a
fervant friendship having sprung up between
her and Annie.
They were silting togetlier in a willow-pat
tern summer house, nil the brink of a man
pond, the lair of a dragon who Was supposed
to spout, butt who followed the example of
many gentlemen who are elected into a cer
tain House for a similar purpose, and didn't.
It was in the strawberry sehson and a tine
dish of the fruit stood on the table between
them, with which, needlework and confiden
tial chat, they were beguiling the morning
hours not unpleasantly.
"And ito you have never heard of hint since?"
said Miss Plumptree.
" Never, — replied Annie.
"Just like all the men, dear: 'Out of sight,
out of sound.' "
" Nay Ido not blame him, poor fellow. I
do tint see how he could have found me out,
if he tried ever so notch, I left so suddenly, so
mysteriously."
„ 0, well." sighed Miss Plumtree, "if he
had been his great-grandfather, he would have
discovered you somehow ; but yisung men are
not what they were ; they are selfish, listless,
everything is too much trouble for them. And
you never hinted anything about it to your
uncle."
"O, no," said Annie, "besides he doel
not take hints ; you must speak plainly if you
want hint to understand your wishes.
" Ilum," said Miss Phuntree.
" And then," continued Annie, "lie was so
sung and not in position to marry for ever sit
long ; and the acquaintanceship was so short;
and his friends would be sure to disapprove ;
so that altogether, perhaps,.it is better us it
is."
" And do you still love hies, dear ?"
"I think I do; he Nvas kind, you see, whei
Lad no one else, and—''
"There don't cry dear. Have a straw
berry ?"
Annie recovered her equilibrium, and turned
the subject. " I can't think what has hap
pened to uncle William," she said ; he takes
such rt funny interest in how 1 looked all of a
sudden, lie takes in a paper with the fash
'ions in it, and stands looking critically at me
with his head on one side, and his eyes screw
ed up, for minutes together ; and then he
walks round me gravely, as though I was • a
horse : indeed, 1 expect hint to say, "come
up ; tuck, tuck ; come over !" every moment,
or t,, I , n , h in my onth. And If my hair is
done, or m dress ' cut according to the fashion
plates, he scolds me. And then he takes me
over to Bouthend whenever he hears that: a
packet is coming in, and walks one up and
down that long pier. And he is alway on the
lookout for concerts or entertainments of any
kind that we can go to. Can you explain
it , "
" I think I can give a guess," said Miss
Plumptree ; " in fact, I expect that 111 V little
ence may have something; to do with it. The
plain truth is, my•dear, that he wants to get
you married."
No I" cried Annie, with a jump.
"But he told me distinctly, when I first
came here, that, though I might expect to lie
provided for in his will. I must not look for
any dowry, or even much of a trossean, in
case I were to marry • awl that did not look
like very anxiety on the subject."
"No, dear ; but his views have underdone
a change. The fact is, that he does your hum
ble servant the honor to wish—"
"Oh, and you will take him, won't you
it will he so nice to call you aunt, 'anti have
living in the house !"' cried Annie enthusias
tically.
Well dear," continued Miss Plumping.
" it scented to mite that the opportunity was a
goo d on e f or a dvancing your interests, so

This possibility was suggested by Mr.
Johnston's.face and manner, the former be
ing bewildered, the latter hurried and excited
as he came towards them from his loss Iltaise
with an open letter in his hand.
Something the matter'.' Indeed, there was . ;
nothing less than a thread of losing his late
wife's property, and being reduced once more
to the straits which had driven hint into pre
mature matrimony thirty years before. one
of those Doctors' Commons grubbers, who
live by holding out that they have discovered
something to sonwhody's advantage,—which
generally turns out to be a fraudulent mare's
nest, but every now and then—just often
enough to tempt fresh flocks of gulls—proves
to be a discovery of real importimce
had fished up eveidence the late
Johnstone had by rights only a life-interest in
her first laushand's property ; and having
thereupon discovered the person, who under
such circumstances, would be the claimant, he
had put himself into communication with him.
Said claimant proved indeed to be in the legal
profession. which was a disappointment for
this
grubber ; but'as there was really something
in the evidence lie had lit upon, his time was
not entirely thrown away.
This was the startling information which
was conveyed to Mr. Johnstone In the hard,
sharp words of a lawyer's lett erond which he
now communicated in his distress to Miss
Plumptree and Annie. They cheered him
with sanguine speeches ; and when he had
gathered his wits together, hestarted for Lon
don to seek an interview with his solicitor.
That gentleman informed him that there
seemed to lie really something in the claim
which was set up, but that it would take a
deal of legislation to prove it, and, so far as
he could see, it was odds on the man in pos
session eventually winning the day, but still,
if an advantageous compromise were to be
suggested, it might be as well to lake it into
consideration.
So Mr. Johnstone took to walkiag for hours
about the garden of doss Ilouse Villa with Ids
eyes bent on his toes, and his hands clasped
behind his back, lost in thought, and mutter

He was accustomed to spread a silk pocket

Annie's curiosity, invariably formed some part
of the words " Atkantageous compromise.!".

til that girl is oft my hands, which is less like

And yet, if these fellows really manage to

it will be an extra reason why 1 should marry

Ills meditations were interrupted by a set'.

" Where have you shown him?"
" Into the grand music than," .replied the
girl.
