She smiled and nodded, and looked al together so mischievous, that Mr. Cress.' ipgton became qUite excited over her little mystery. • - .t "Do explain, Cornelia?' , And when she "expliiined," he leaned '3ack in his chair, with an• expression of posi i tive :we slid admiration on * his * face. * After (twit of a. glorious winter day, with here and there a star twinkling in the pale gray sky; and the lights and the fires in . the Hillcrest sitting-room making an elcquent ..velcome 'to Walter Austin as 'ne stood in the midst of the lonely home circle, tall, gentlemanly, handsome, and aelf-possetiitd. Old Mr.. Cressington was in his richest humor as he led forward two young girls. "Come, don't be shy, now, i Walter, this is your cousin, Mabel Cressington, slid this is her good and inseparable friend Irene Vance,come ft► help entertain you. My nephew, Mr. Walter Austin, girls.- And Lois is aunt Cornelia—you remember her well enough, hey ?" - And so the presentation was merrily got over, acid Walter found himself at limo in the most pleasant family he ever had known. • ' They were remarkably pretty girls, with blue eyes --:Though Miss Vance's were decidedly 'the deeper blue and more bewitching--and lovely yellow gold hair, although Walter. found himself , admiring the style of ,Miss Vance's coiffure bef6re he bad known her anhour, and when he sent up to-his room' that night he felt as if, .berfween the • two—roguish.:May and and sweet little Irene,be never ,would come caft heart whole. . "For Mahe! is a good little darling. and I will take . old ..great ! nncle. Abiah's advice' and fall in love with her, and .thereby.secure a generous - share of the Cress.irgtori estates." • And the handsome young gentlem:tn went to s!eep and dreamed, instead of Mabers laughing eyes, of Irene's gentle tender ont-s, and awoke , :somewhere in the middle of the night, unable: to get co sleep again for thinking ofher. . And ,the after days were not.much ter. - Despite the golden value of Mabel there WllB something about Irene Vance that made thflAtead-strong fellow very fooll6hly indifferent- to .the .advice - be had sworn to follow. • • . , . . "Because, by Jove! a fellow would have to b. made of graniti to . resist the. sweet, shy ways of such . a : little darling as I rgli e And oirry - her o " if she'll have tn., and the money and property m:iy go to the—dogs.!

It. was not an hump later :that he-mei her in the hall, carrying 'great. boughs of. hotly, to festoon down the sombre walnut staircase.: "Give me your burdel, Irene. Why didn't von tell me you were going to gather it; and let me-go with you P He managed to get the lovely sprays from her arms, hut it rcquired an im mense amount of tardy effirt, his part.. and shy, sweet blushing On,hers. “Answer me, Irene.

She shraok itway,her lovely form drool).- ing like lily of the valley. her clippks haneing out, their signal of, distress.and ' confusion. "Oh. PleilSe don't bilk 80, to me! In deed.' must. go.

Come, Irene, we will go 'tell tinele Abitih at once. ? Just one kiss first—yes, you must!" And he had more than one, or two, or three—he had as many ai he wanted— before he led her, blushing , with tears trembling on her lashes, like diamonds on a golden thread to uncle Abiah, who sat in his library with Mrs. Cornelia, in dustriously • looking • over her recipe book.. • - • ~ .They looked up in surprise as Walter marched in ; Irene on his arm. ¶lf you please, uncle Ahiah, I want your blessing and cordial consent to give you, Irene for your niece.

And abroad smile -of perfect , delight was on her merry face. ' • - "Say ?Why, tell them' yes, and wel come; and tell them their aunt Cornelia isn't. a fool..if their uncle Ahiah Walter looked astonished, and then felt Irene , trembling - on his arm. , "Darling what is it ?" • She smiled through her tears as she clung to his arm. "Oh, Walter, I am so afraid you will be argnv. lam Mabel after all, and—and "And ' you have made love to pony cousin, the 116irefo, in spite of yourself, my boy!' So Hillcrest is a foregone fate, after all, eh ?". - "Don't scold, . please Waller!" Mahel said in a low, pleading voice, with her blue eyes looking into his own. "As if I ever could " scold you, my darlioe! And Nince I have you, what need I care else?" . - And Cornelia turned over the loaves of the Teci pr-hnnk unfit she time to "wedding-cake and avers that she made the match herself. NEW STORE.
