" I lieni!(l of Captain Leslie speak of a cous
in—Jack he called him—also . an °Meer in the
army, who was keeping out of the way on ac
count of some money difficulty. Perhaps this
was the namesake whom yolt mistook for your j
"It may be so ; and their both disappearing
at the same time might have been a mere en- 1
incidence ; but I could not doubt at the time
that they had left together. Still, there is some
dire fatality in all this, or else treachery," and
as he spoke the last word a fierce glow carne I
into his eyes. "I shall start for Wales by the'
earliest train tomorrow ; and to enable me to
do so, I must go into the city now to put some
Lushness in order. Will you come and dine
with no at seven to-night, Mr. Mordaunt
Even if you have other engagements, perhaps
you will be able to postpone them, for lam
very anxious to have some farther talk to you
about my poor girl."
I could not refuse an invitatioihlitis urged,
and at the appointed hour I found myself in I
Mr. Musgrave's house. Mr. Musgrave re
ceived me cordially, rind introduced me to his
wife—his second wife, I felt sure, for I could
not trace in her face the slightest resemblance
to Mrs. Leslie. She was a splendidly hand
some woman with the face and form of a Juno,
and a haughty but graceful carriage. As an
artist her beauty claimed my admiration, but
nevertheless there was something .about her
that repelled me as a man.
" Mr. Musgrave tells me that you have done I
hint a service in a matter which is of smith im
portance to all the family as to make us your •
debtors if you succeed," she said ; but as she
spoke their was a glitter in her dark' eye that
warned me against her. I felt convinced that
• 1 had earned her hate by my participation in
this discovery.
There were five or six guests besides myself,
and any reference to the subject that filled the
thoughts of both my Lost and myself was Im
possible. 13ut at length the long dinner, with
j all its sumptuous details, was at an end, and

A LUCKY DISCOVERY
" What I sold already I 1 am in luck," I
exclaimed joyfully.
On entering the gallery where two pictures
of mine were hung, my eye had at once
glanced toward my own productions with an
affection as natural as that of a mother
for her child; and with equal delight
and astonishment I had detected the
bright green tickets attached to the gilded
frames. I was but a young artist ; and it was
the very first day of public exhibition, so I
might well be pleased.
I quickly sought the secretary.
"They were sold only ten minutes ago,"
he said, in reply to my inquiries. " The pur
chaser asked for your address, and, I fancy,
has gone now to your studio. Ile seemed
very anxious to see you. Ills cheek is signed
'Henry Musgrave,' and I believe he's a mem
ber of a banking-firm." .
Leaving the building, I jumped into a cab.
I did not wish to miss seeing my new patron.
As I drove along, I speculated on what he
could want with me ; 'possibly It was to give
tne a new commission, and I indulged In san
guine hopes.
I was just in time, for he was at my door,
parleying with my landlady.
" Mr. Mordaunt, I believe," he said, turn
ing to greet me ; " I am Mr. Musgrave. This
morning I bought two paintings by you—
' The First at the Tryst,' and ' The Meeting
and I have come to you to ask for some in
formation concerning them. Where did you
paint those pictures, Mr. Mordaunt, snit whom
do they represent I"
"I must learn flint, Mr. Musgrave," I said,
"what is your motive for the inquiry.
Though my intercourse with them was only
for a short time, it was long enough to make
the like and esteem them. I can give you no
assistance, if it would be to their injury."
"I have no wish to injure them ; and for
her, at leant, I have nothing but feelings of af
fection," he replied earnestly. "In your
picture I recognizea speaking likeness of my
daughter ; it is unmistakable."
"Then I feel you have a right to any aid I
can render," I returned. " I made their ac
quaintance nt a little inn in the Welsch vil
lage of Llandwthyn, last September; and the
name they gave me was Captain and Mrs.
"And where are they now ? Can you tell
me that 7" he answered anxiously.
" No," I replied ; " I left them still there
when I returned - to - the — Elty in October, and I
have heard nothing of them since. Possibly
on the spot you might gain some clue that,
would enable you to trace them."
" Yes, that must be my next step," he said,
catching eagerly at my words. " Will you be
so good as to write the address down for me 7"
While I was getting out pen and paper, I
noticed that lie was more than once on the
point of speaking, but remained silent after all
as if he could not bring himself to utter the
words almost on his Bps. At last, with a
manifest effort, lie said :
" In both pictures my daughter's left band
is partially concealed ; in one by a flower she
holds, and in the other b)! his. Can
. you tell
me whether—did she—" Then lie broke
down ; lie could not bring himself to ask a
question of so much momentous importance
to him.
I believe I could guess what he desired to
know, and I hastened to :let his mind at rest.
"My subject supposed the courtship of two
lovers," I said ; " so at first I painted her hand
Without the wedding-ring she wore. I found,
however, she objected so strongly to this
omission, that I had to giveway ; and I had
even some difficulty to get her consent forthe
compromise of placing a rose-bud in her hand,
so that the ring would be hidden."
•` Thank God I" he exclaimed ; 1 have
had a weight taken off my mind this morning
that has been crushing me to dust for months.
Ton have behaved like a gentleman, Mr. Dior
daunt; but though you have asked no ex
planation, I see you are interested, and I will
explain the affair to you. Last summer, my
only daughter left my house, and I was in
formed that she had eloped with a Captain
Leslie, a married man, who had also disap
peared, I found, at the same time. I know
him by sight, and the face in your picture is
not his, and you have made me hope that all
may yet be right. This man, you say, is also
Captain Leslie, and I must have been suffer
ing these mental tortures through a cruel mis
take, though I cannot understand how it
in sad trouble about her, poor thing. She ar
rived hero with her husband a little time ago
but they soon came to the end of their money;"
and as some he had expected did not arrive,
he went to look After it, he said. Be ought to
have been back before this; but he puts it off,
and their bill is running up. I should not
have the heart to turn her out ; but you know
Owen to harder than I am, and he made ma
tell her yesterday that she must go if we were
not paid this week. I was obliged to do it,
for he said if I did not he would speak to her
himself, as he could not afford to keep people
for nothing. But now, Mr. Mordauut, I must
turn,you out, for I am going to be busy. If
you like to try for a trout, you will find Owen'4
rod in the corner."
There was a small stocked-stream running
close to the house, and I betook myself to it
through the garden, which extended to its
banks. On passing the rustic arbor covered
with luxuriant creepers, in which I had
smoked many an evening cigar, I perceived
that it was tenanted by a lady. She was so
deep in thobght that I was able to note her
appearance unobserved. She was very young
and fair, with golden hair in rich masses, now
unshaded by the little straw hat that lay by
her. But what struck me more than her
beauty, or even the grace of her attitude, was
the intense longing expectation expressed in
every feature of her face, in every line of her
drooping form. I did not linger for fear of
disturbing her ; but before I put my tackle to
gether, I made a hasty pencil-sketch in my
pocket-book, while the scene was fresh in my
memory, that it should not fade. I might
look far before finding a more charming model
for a girl awaiting her lover, and I determined
to reproduce her on my canvass without de
lay.
This must no doubt he the heroine of Mrs.
Owen's tale, I thought ; and I pitied her sin
cerely for beibg placed in a position that must
be very painful and embarrassing to one so
young, so evidently gentle and refined.
For an hour I had pretty good sport. Then
it grew too dark for me to continue success
fully, and I returned to the house. Going
into Mrs. Owen's. parlor to replace her hus
band's rod I stayed awhile talking with her,
for she dearly loved a chat.
While we were thus occupied, the door
opened gently, and in came the lady of the
arbor.
" 0, Mrs. Owen, I have just had a letter from
my husband, and he cannot be back for a
week or ten days. I don't know what to do,
RR you
In her eager agitation she had spoken so tar
without noticing me, for I was standing in
one corner of the room, examining a sketch
that hung on the wall. As soon as she saw
there was a stranger present, she stopped short
in confusion. .
"I did not know you were engaged,
Owen," she
.murmured shyly, and was evi
dently preparing to make her escape.
"Do not rim away, my dear ; there Is no
one to be afraid of," said Mrs. Owen. "It is
only Mr. Mordaunt, an artist, who has come
to stay here, as he has done many a time be
fore. Dear, dear, so the captain won't be back
yet awhile ! What will Owen say Y"
"Good Mrs. Owen, you will wait a little
longer !" said Mrs. Leslie pleadingly, but at
the same time she glanced uneasily towards
me, as if distressed to have to discuss such a
delicate subject before a stranger.
No such scruples affected Mrs. Owen, who
replied—" I would waft, my dear, but Owen
Is so hard about money, and lie won't hear of
it. Ile says you mean well, no doubt; but

be at the loss. I don't know what to do."
• As soon as I perceived Mrs. Leslie's embar
rassment, I turned to relieve her of It. by de
parting, but before I reached the door Mrs.
Owen bad spoken, and nn hearing her wends
an idea had struck me..
"As I have uniutentially learned that Sou

Ile had spoken these last words with a cer

that he sluittld look at the occurrence from this
point of view, I said, with equal stiffness, in
answer to him--" And I cannot allow myself
to remain indebted to Mrs. Leslie for a service
which she did me at my request, and at some
inconvenience to herself—a service, too, of a
distinct pecuniary value to me. Perhaps,
Captain Leslie, since you repudiate the present

will answer for her that she will he delighted,"
he cried, with the old cordial frankness. "

to think that I should have been obliged to
leave my wife exposed to these worries, and I
suppose I em awkward at. nn explanation.

often as you like and for >whom you like.
And now that Is settled, I conic to the mes
sage I stepped out here to give you ; we want
you to come and have supper with us, if you
eat such a barbarous meal."
This I agreed to of course, and we went in
together. My friendly intercourse with the
T.eslies made the remainder of my stay at
Llandwthyn very, pleasant. I never saw a
married couple more fond and proud of each
other; they had been married three months;
and still they wore in the honeymoon. In
spite of this, however, I found them most
agreeable companions ; but certainly we bad
a bond of Interest in their sittings to me, which
formed a pleasant occupation for all three of
us.
• I regretted to leave them when I had to re
turn to London, but we did not enter to a
correspondence, and I have heard' noth g of
them since, though they have often been in
my thoughts, especially when I was finishing
the pictures, that contained their likenesses.
"Then they may possibly be still at Lland

" I think it is hardly likely I replied ;

They may be in the neighborhood, however;
for Captain Leslie frankly owned that he had
been obliged to sell his commission,• and that
he must live in retirement till his friends did
aomething for him, to avoid certain pressing
creditors."
The old man remained silent fora time,
buried in deep thought.
" I wish I could persuade you to do me att
other favor; but I hardly like to ask you," he
said at length. " Will you add to your kind-

She saw that all was at an end, but she was
not one to give'-way.
"It is my handwriting," she replied With
composure. " I wished to spare you the folly
of forgiving your daughter's misconduct."
" It,is enough, madam ; you and I hence
forth cannot live under the same roof. My
house at Brighton is at your disposal, and you
may make it your permanent residence if you
choose. My lawyers will draw up a deed of
separation, and will pay you an allowance
suited to your position and my. income."
" So he it ; In an hour's time I shall have left
your roof forever," she said with a haughty
self-comtnand almost miraculous,
In the companionship of his loved daughter
and of his sondn.law, to whom be speedily
became attached, Mr. Musgrave, after a time,
recovered his cheerfulness. I had abundant
opportunities of seeing this, as I was ever
mnr7iwelcome guests. Since then I have
had many commissions from them; but the
two pictures I painted at Liandwthyn still ne.

WHAT I KNOW OF FARMING.
GOOD AND BAD lIHSBA.N
, Necessity is the mother of us all. A farmer
may be as strenuous for deep plowing as I
am—may firmly believe that the sail should
be thoroughly broken up and pulverized to $
depth of fifteen to thirty inches, according to
the crop ; but, if all the team he can muster is
a yoke of thin, light steers, or a span of old,
spavined horses, which have not even a speak
,
lug acquaintance with grain, what shall he do?
So ho may heartily WWI he had a thousand
loads of barn-yard manure, and know how to
make a good use of every ounce of it ;
.but, if
he has it not, and is not able to buy it, he
can't always afford 'to forbear sowing and
I planting, and, so, because he cannot secure
I peat crops, do without any crops at all. If
be does the best he can, what better ran he
do ?
Again : Many farmers have fields that must
await the pleasure of Nature to fit them for
thorough cultivation. Here is a field-10Me
times a whole fare —which, if partially di
vested of the primitive forest, is still thickly
`dotted with obstinate stumps and filled with
green, tenacious roots, which could only be
removed at a heavy, perhaps ruinous, cost.
A rich man might order them all dug out in s
month, and see his order fully obeyed ; but,
except to clear a spot for a ger.len or under
very peculiar circumstances, it would not pay ;
and a poor man could not afford to incur u
heavy expense merely for appearance's sake,
or to make a theatrical display ot'energy. In
the great majority of cases, lie who farms for
a living can't afford to pull green stumps, hut
must put his newly cleared land into grass at
the earliest day, mow the smoother and pas-
