"You will be sure to like my - uncle,

young wife. ."He is eccent "c, but he is

&Owl did not answer; ut her blue
eves were wistful and full of perplexity.
Uncle Ben, whom she had never \ seen,
but of whom she had heard much, was
to ler as inacrutable riddle; whotn she
feared more than she was ;willing to ac
knowledge. For Hugh's future depend
ed to a certain extent on Uncle Ben
Benedict, and with Hugh'S fortune her
040 was bound inseparably.
She was a fair, fresh-looking girl, with
velvet...cheeks, bronze bright hair, and
tea urea as correct and delicately cut as a
Hugh wai quite certain 'that
U'icl Ben could not see her without, lov
(lig her; but then, these young husbands
are mit apt to be i mpartial rjudges.
She was sitting in the - fire-light at their
lodgings, when the 'old gentleman first
beheld her ; and the only warning she
had of his presence j she saw reflected in
ey es .
(Ilv dear, how do.yon do ?" , said the
old tlem an , kissing Bachael on both
chttks.
Aud she thought he was not so tem
blr 'after all.

.to Hugh, when hehad thus

(painted with his.niece-m,law;.
"Well, your. E !min, I are you 'ready to
leay. , these rooms nd ,go to yonr new

the ()Id gentleman had given Hugh and
tinael a wedding , present of a new

Quite, sir," Hugh answered very . cheer-,
l'illy. . ', '.

And Hugh 13enediO, albeit he - was

"Then 1 won't' ask another question,"
she said resolutely.
Jut she fully atoned for that deprivav

Presently the lumbering old carriage
came to a , stand . . still ' • but to Rachel's
surprise, not in front of a n - ew fairy cot

"How dreary it loolcs," thought Rachel
with a shudder. But Uncle Ben at once

with a sudden paroxysm of coughing.—
