MAETINSTOWER.
" It , is almost dark," said Lim , Elliott,
perched on the bars that led into the'sol
emn quietude of the Martinstower woods,
with her brown hood hanging from one
arm, and a scarlet shawl - drawn over her
tangled black curls. " I wonder Why
papa don't come !"
Lizzy irai a selfish sorter %damsel, with
great black eyes and_ peach-red cheeks,
and a lilac calico dress fearfully torn by
some jagged bramble. She was not par
ticularly graceful, nor were the hands
that held the shawl together under her
chin, "slender and snowy." On the con
trary, the March wind had reddened them,
and blown her short curls about until you
could ecarely have told, froth aby outward
indication, whether she were boy or girl.
" Lizzy, child ! come down this instant
When will you learn to be a little more
ladylike ?"
And Lizzy slipped guiltily &vim, from
her seat on the topmost bar, as a stoat old
gentleman, with iron grey hair and a suit
to match, came trotting down the road on
a stout little pony.
" Oh, papal I thought you never were
coining!" ,
" tell you what lam going to do,"
said the old gentleman irascibly, as Lizzy
sauntered along by the pony's side, with
one arm thrown over its shaggy mane and
her reddened fingers playing with the
loose locks.
''l'm going to buy a pair of blue troves-•
era and a coat and aet you to work cutting
trees with the rest of the menfolks. It's
all a mistake trying to make a young lady
of you 1" • ,
"I wish you would, papa 1" ejaculated
Lizzy, gleefully, "it would be such fun 1"
"Fun 1" echoed the old gentleman.
Now I give you fair warning, Miss Lizzy,
you have got to behave yourself a little
more circumspectly in future.- Mr. Mar
tin is coming home.
" Mr. Martin of Martinstower 7"
" The same."
Liz'zy lOoked back where the sunset was
turning the vast gothic windows of the
grey stonb mansion among the Martins
tower woods to gold; and opened her black
eyes very wide.
" I wish he would stay at l'ira--Parn-- -
what's its name. I can't steal any more
roses from the lawn, nor•play at bide and

The words were on his lips as atall,

"That's 'just a man's view of things,"

Why couldn't he go to the village tav

"My dear, you forget that he is Maurice
Martin's confidential clerk,"
"No, papa, I don't forget anything of
the sort, retorted Viola sharply, • " But
I moue that it is no way to give Mr.
Martin alavorable impression, for lam to
find na.hand and glove with his trumpery
clerk. He will suppose—.he uni.o suppose
—that our associations Are of the very
lowest! Papa, it iiieo bad !"
And Miss Viola burst into tears.
" I am astonished at papa," added
Plancbe, who had entered to participate
in the discussion.' "Inviting a clerk—a
common clerk—to bur house! At any
rate he must sleep in the little dark room
over the kitchen. So Viola, we can have
the best bedroom papered just as if he
were not here." •
"Papa," resumed Viida, still brooding
on The original grievaneb, " what did pos
sess you to invite hins•heris ?"
."My dear,"- retunied the perplexed
paterfamilias, " I wished to conciliate
Martin by every means in my 'power.
Of course [don't care for the young man
personally. We can gpt aid of him in a
day or.two."
The Confidential Clerk, standing in
front of the bright red sparkle of the fire
in the room beyond, smiled to himself
even : whila a deep indignant flash mount
ed to his forehead, as he involdntarily
overheard the little sotto voce by-play in
thh other room.
• "And this," he murmured to himself,
"is all the welcoinesa wanderer receives,
after•tweety years spent upon the ster4le
rocks of a foreign land ! Home ! the
word has a pretty echo, yet'there is some
thing hollow in its sound after all!' •
"Mr.! Confidential Clerk 1" ' you are
crying!" .
•
1' Crying! II"
"You needu't try to deceive 'me, sir,"
nodded Lizzy Elliott, who had • crept to
his side, with a white kitten in her arms.
" I saw the bright drop sparkling bn your
eyelashes like a great diamond, and then
I saw it fall upon the hearth. Why are
yoncrying? Is it because you are poor
and friendless, and of—of—what did pspti:
call it 1 Oh, of common-place extraction ?"
He did not answer. There was 'some
thing in the tsoft, pitying shine of those
black eyes that enthralled his gaze. Lizzy
came close to him, winking hard to keep
a sympathetic moisture from her own
dark lashes.
" Don't cry l'r she ' pleaded, softly.
"Cheer up! I know papa is patronizing
and the girls .are cross, but I'll be your
friend I Only think how many men have
begun the world as poor and friendless as
ypuraelf, and yet have triumphed over
fortune."
He smiled.
"My dear little girl—" • '
" I'm not a little girl," interrupted
Lizzy, indignantly. "l was sixteen last
November." • • . •
" Well; then, my young ladY,"resumed
the Confidential-Clerk, smiling, " I will
accept your words as an omen of coming
good fortune. Nell me about Martins
tower. Is it a pretty place ?"
"It is a splendid place," corrected
Lizzy, with grave ' enthusiasm. " With
marble mantles, . you know, all carved
like ancient gods and goddesses, and
floors of inlaid' wood, and ceilings all
painted - to look like yellow sunsets and
spots in the woods when the vines are
growing overhead. And there are lawns

"Li 1 Lizay 1 you are talking farmore

Viola; sharply breaking in upon their
tete-i-tete. "Put down that 'kitten and

"The' unnatural , minx !", murmured
Blanche.
"Married at sixteen =- the impertinent
thing I" sputtered Viola. --
And so Lizzy and her ltuabandleft the
unfriendly shadow of the paternal roof.
Blanche Elliott, surrounded by an at
mosphere of lavender, vinegar and eau-di
cologne, was just coming out of the hys
terics into which Lizzy's unprecedented
conduct bad throWn her,. when there W2/3
a low tap at the door, and a young man,
bearing a peculiar looking foesiign carpet
bag in his hand appeared.
' This is Mr. Elliott, I suppose;'
"Yes,, sir ;" returned the ,old gentle.
man; hesitating whether- to embrace the
stranger as Maurice Martin, or repel him
as an emissary from the obnoxious Confi
dential Clerk. •
" Ah—so I concluded. Has Mr. Mar
tin been here to-day?" ' -
Mr. Elliott started.
"Mr. Martin - is in Perugia% Brazil.
" I beg your pardon, sir," returned the
young man ; " r am his secretary, and am
quite convinced that he is at this present
time at his family estate of Martinstower.
Perhaps I had better seek him there. I
am told that it. is but a mile or two fur
ther on."
He retreated, bowing with a foreign
profusion of courtesj, leaving Mr. Elliott
overwhelmed with amazement.
"My dear !" he said, hurrying back to
the sitting room, " I must go up to Mar
tinstower at once. Mr. Martin has ar
aived at last."
Blanche sat up, tossing the bright drops
of cologne from her curls. . .
" Oh, papa! you will be tiure:lo brine
hini back to supper I"
"I'll try,_ my dear—Pil try," -said the •
flurried senior. •
" Papa !" ejaculated Viola, " you are
trying to pull your boots on over your
slippers !"
"Confound it, so • I am—but this affair
of Lizzy's has coppletely unsettled me !
Very strange of Maurice Martin to come
home without a word Of notice to me, his
agent!" -
So saying, Mr. Elliott darted forth into
the darkness like some new style of pro
jectile. -
The lights of the stained gothic windows
at Martinstower were streaming brightly
across the lawn, as he came hurriedly up
the broad stone steps and rang the boll.
"Mr. Milan—has %e arrived r
the setvant bowed and ushered him
into a large room, whose
. snnerbly arrang
ed furniture struck Mr. Elliott with an
indefinite idea of luxury. LizzY was
standing by a tall alabaster vase of cling
ing tropic vines that occupied one of the
bay windows with a colored lamp burning
above.
" Papa I,oh, papa! you have forgiven
me!" He turned frigidly from her plead
ing eyes at her husband.
I have just called to see your master;
young man !"
" To see wh'om, sir V'
"Mr. Martin, of Martinstower."
" I am at your service, Mr. Elliott."
"You are Who the—mischief cares
whether you aro or not? I tell ycku I want
to see Mr. Martin."
"Maurice Martin is my name, sir I"
Mr. Elliott stood aghast. , •
" Why, I—l thought you were the con
fidential clerk I"
"I never told' you that I was, sir. You
chose to take it for granted, and I allowed
you that privilege. As the confidential
clerk, I weed and won your daughter—as
Maurice Martin, I could have gained no
greater treasure I"
" all . a mistake from beginning
to end," ex,claimed poor Mr. Elliott, wip
ing the streams of_perspiration , from his
fevered brow s " Lizzy, my dear, come.

• "I didn't know it myself, , papa, until
we were taarried," -said Lizzy,
and blushing ; "and 'when I tried to te'l

"So you were Maurice Martin all the
while," said Mr. Elliott, with a deep
breath; " Well, upon my word and honor I

as she spoke, and his look •of fond pride
pent a strange thrill down into the th
ther's heart. Maurice *did love the six

had led her to the haven of happiness !
" I know I'm very young, l 2 faltered
Lizzy; "but I'm goiog to leave off - playing
