WARD AND GUARDIAN.
i J
Mr. Seaford was opening hit
morning mail. The lei ter tray
was always well filled, for Mr.,
Selwvn Senford was one of thosf
pleasant, good looking, easy
tempered bachelors who have, tu
the saying goes, ‘hosts of friends#
Peifurnod invitations to iawij
tennis breakfasts and archery
teas; confidential little note!
from young ladies who were in
deep despair about masquerade
costumes; commissions from
pretty-young matrons regarding
zephyr worsted and Lancjuedot!
lace ; long letters from chamois
shooting friends among the Ba-i
varian Alps, and chatty epistle:
trom attaches at Pars and Vienm
—this was what formed (he sta
pie of his. correspondence. Ant
at the very bqMeu* lay the’blacf*
edged missive, bearing the stamp 1
of Long Branch.
Slowly Mr. Sea ford broke tile
seal—--slowly road it over.
‘So poor Fulton is dead at last,’
was his first thought. ‘But, by
jove! its railier cool of him to
leave me iiis (laughter to educate
and bring that we are
neither relatives or connections.
It is true that lie was my college
friend ; but there were plenty ot
others .vith whom he was more
intimate,. A girl, here in rny
bachelor den! What on earth
was poor Fulton thinking of!’
The lirst. idea was that lie
would entirely adjure the be
quest; a seeond, a superstitious
feeling that lie could not.
‘l’sHhw!’ said Selwyn Seaford,
tugging fiercely at his brown,
silk soft mustache. ‘Governess,
music lessons, chocolate, cara
mels —all that sort of thing. Il
will turn my quiet home into a
regular.carnival ; but I don't see
that there,’s any evading it.”
lie got up and pushed his let
ters away, and walked through
!he house surveying the various
apartments.
‘Yes,’ he mused, ‘by giving up
my cabinet room and changing
my library, 1 can imagine to spare
quite a respectable.suit of apart
ments. Of course I shall have to
invite old Aunt Baiestierre to
come and live with me, to play
propriety. It will be the old
story of ward and guardian over
again. She probably will fall in
love with me or I with her. and
there’ll be the deuce to pay.—
Why on earth couldn’t Fulton
have lived long enough to bring
up his own daughter?’
But Selwyn Seaford was thor
oughly conscious, and once con
vinced that it was his duty to re
ceive Diana Fulton into his
fiouse, he lost no time telegraph
ing to Aunt Baiestierre, prepar
ing Ihe pretty sait-of rooms, and
hastening down to Long branch.
‘Yes,’ the polite hotel clerk
told him, ‘Miss Fulton was on the
beach —she spent most of her
lime there.’ (‘Sentimental, I
suppose,’ thought Seaford, with
a grimancej—‘with Iter maid.’
(‘Of, a maid into the bargain—a
French flirt. *<> carry notes" on the
*!y. ami foster all sorts of in
trigues,’ inwardly groaned the
map.) ‘Would the gentleman
,*tep that way, pr should he (the
clerk) send a porter down ?’
J 4 r. Seaferd prefered to walk
down htmtfelf—and presently lie
found himself standing on the
shorn of the .sounding sea, wait
ing for the Conclusion of a brisk
but scientific encounter bet ween
a IftMe gitl of six and her nurse,
before lie could inquire his wav
fto the point Bre-a- >,unjs.
The little girl was squill, lint
desperate. She writhed herself
like a serpent about her attend
ant's ankles, bit, scratched, and
finally settled mailers by fling
ing a handful of sand into the
nurse’s eyes.
‘There!’ said she, panting,loye-
and venomous. ‘Now will
you let me alone?’
‘Well, I nev^r !’ sputted the
woman. ‘And your new silk
stoqkings all sea water, and ybpr
elegant black satin ruined —clean
ruined, piiss !’
*1 don’t care!’ screamed (iie
child. ‘I don’t! I don't} I don't!
lfll run away and (invk n myself.
*o there now!’
‘Come bqck, Miss Di,. ; there’s
a jewel,’coaxed the stout Mile
sian, wiping the sand out of her
blank features. ‘Come back,
and ’
But here Mr. Seal'orcf stepped
forward.
‘My good woman,’ aaid'Ue, ‘will
you tell me that child's name ?’
‘lt’s Diana Jfulton, sir.’ ,
‘Fulton? Mite Diana Fulton l
—lndeed!’
, And this little, black browned
vfxeiif witfrfhe m-ane *of tangled
jetty hair, the slim, serpenMike
figure, the flushed, angry face,
was the queenly orphan he had.,
pictured as a young lady just
ready to be launched into soci
ety.
Involuntarily his heart, gave a
great throb of relief. ,
‘Come here, you little Gypsy!’
said he, ‘or 1 will whistle the
biggest shark of the coast to
come and eat you up !’
lie held out his band with a
smile, gradually the frown faded
out from the olive forehead, an/1
without hesitation the small Di
ana accepted his overtures.
‘Oil. I know !’ she said,‘you are
old bachelor Seaford.’
‘Laws, miss!’ grasped the scand
alized maid.
‘Exactly,’ said Mr. Seaford,
gravely.
‘Then it’s all right,’ said Diana.
‘Papa said you would take care
of me. Couldn’t we go into the
Iron Pier and see the Punch and
Judy show now ?’
Aunt Baiestierre could hardly
believe the testimony of her
double-eyed glasses when Miss
Diana skipped into the room witli
a doll in one hand and a package
of candies in the other.
‘i do declare! 5 said the infant
• 1 \
terrible, ‘here’s an old lady who
is just like (lie ugly old witcli in
my fairy book. Is she.your grand
mother, Mr. Seaford ?’
•Grandmother ! 5 gasped Aunt
Balestierre.
But she was a sensible old soul
and recognized the truth of
Di’s description.
At the end of the first week,
however, Di was found to have
wrought a terrible devastation,
t’he precise butler gave warning,,
the housekeeper shed tears over
her pillaged preserve closet, the
old Sevres china had been used
for a doll’s tea set, and windows
and a biscuit statuette of .Psyche
were broken and., a bottle.of Mk
had been upset.on the pale, bine
moquette carpet of the drawing
room. ....
‘What, shall we do V cried Aunt
Baiesterre in dismay.
Mr. Seaford snulled. The elf
amused him, after her quaint,
stormy fashion.
‘She is only a child,’ said.lie.
‘But such * ehild !‘ said Aunt
Bales! leiTrt. . J j

Mr. Sealoid sighed when he saw
,her. Never, until then, had lie
realized w.hat ah old man lie was
getting to be —old, even for fifty
one years.
Spine people are young of their
age ; but lie —even the years and
months seemed to haye 1 a special
spite against him.
‘Yes,’ said Balistierre, looking
triumphantly at Di, ‘she’s quite
a woman, now ; and she had two
offers, mind Selwyn ? 1 was quite
vexed at hea- lor refusing young
Poole, who" had a quafter of a
million of his own.’
‘How is this little girl"?’ asked
Mr. Seaford.
‘1 don’t care for him,’ said Di
ana, simply.
| ‘But you must marry some
time.’ urged Mrs. B.
*1 don’t see the necessity of it,’
retorted the girl.
Mr. Seaford 6aid nothing just
then; but be spoke to Diana in
bis capacity, as guardian a few
days afterward.
‘My dear child,’ lie said gently,
‘you are a young lady now and
you have your fortune to look to.
I should like to see you settled
in a home of your own before I
die, ami— ’ .
Oil, Mr. Seafood ! don’t talk so,’
passionalelv interrupted Diana.
lit- smiled sadly.
‘ln tact, my dear, you are now
exactjy what I fancied you to be
twelve years ago, when first I
heard your jk>or fajher, was gone.
I imagine*! you to be a tall.young
woman, with whom I should fall

b 1 u s li e and exquisetly—‘or who
might fall in love with me.’ You
see, my pet, I was twelve years
younger then, and now lam com
pellet! to acknowledge that alj
that remains to me is to play the
part of the old lather pn the
