In the c*b that is driving up Euc lid Avenue we find our hero, the smite boy whom we met on ttic lake nt Brownfields, still intent on his ob ject, though no longer with u dream inf IrrdeGnitwttrtB. ‘ Etta left Montrose lor home hus by no menus been spent idly. She, for the first time in Iter Iile, has found a whim to which she is constant ; ami in the correspondence which she giants him hus, instead of dulling her interest in this lutest notion, ad ded Iresh fuel to the Humes. j'linmie, seeing now just how iliitig* stands has been vigorously making preparations for appearing b-fore Mr. Lat’lon creditably. IIi H first step is to borrow u little money Ilia father has laid up, and the next to hire Uesksroom and an office-boy in New Yoik, where he puts up n sign as “Broker in Iron,” this being to give color to thcchwuctci he in tends to nstuine of bring An agent Ibr Mr. Petirs. And now, with all hit arrangements completed, he is driv ing up to Etta’s home, not yetoured of all his palpitations, out with con siderably more self-possession. * lie feels very tremulous again as he euters the door, and as the foot man with a gentle persistence, takes him to his room rather reluctant, since he cannot see w’haf “fixing” he needs, and Almost gives way when lie finds hitusell in the most elegant room he has ever seen. Dressing and auddeuly 4hwoveting that ho is ut terly at a I os s as to where to go to and what to do, his usual good luck •brings Etta to Ins rescue on her way dffw n Hairs. Helped by the same good angel he struggles through Ins dinner, escapes a danger in not know ing what wine to drink by suddenly becoming totally ubstinent; is fortu* mite enough to be drawn into aeon versation on iron, uml hy adroitly using the little knowledge picked up at the forges and mbs reading to gain credit for knowing a greaf deni. And so the days go on, Jimmie’s luck favoring Inin str-adlv until he has wou Et a’s pledge of her love, stepmothers goodwill, her father’s esteem. Her Cousin George had gone to California, disgusted, as soon he got home from the Catskills, and Mr. Ellis, who is the only person be sides Etta that know< anything of .Jinmjie's real position, is South on a long trip. On a lovely September morning the lovers are standing ut the lnk< • sole, watching the bright sunlight that sparkles in innumerable dia monds on eacli little wave crest, while a great, lumbering schooner creeps h zily ul'Mtg with un occasion al clank of its boom against the mast, and the cool swish of the water, that, seems to grow deeper and darker and colder as the shadow of the hull falIs across it. All around is the dazzling sunshine, that here and then* flashes white from a sail trying to coax motion from an air too hot and tned to stir into a wind. ‘Dear,’ said Etta, suddenly, ‘do you known that papa goee to Europe to morrow for six weeks?’ ‘No, I hadn’t heard a word of it. It must be a very sudden move.’ ‘Very, lie only made tty his mind last night.’ ‘You are not going too, us you thought you would on his next trip?’ ‘No, I can’t get ready,’ ‘Etta,’ says Jimmie, after a mo tneut’s pause, ‘have you the courage for a bold step while he is away?’ ‘No—oh, no! cried the frighten ed girl. ‘I can’t do it. Why don’t you ask for iris consent ?’ ‘Because I would never get it. lie will only give you to a rich man, and that I won’t he for some time. If you marry me now he will easily give in,tiiMl will I hen have an interest in pushing us on, and will help us more thi£i be would help me alone. It rests with you, and if yon can’t agree tbjhis,w<- may as well give up all out? hnpt s.’ ’'Wait until to-morrow, nml I’ll trj^nd answer then.’ Turning t0 the Cttrri8 K e behind them, th^VRds? ‘IYe will gb home uov, at ch I will think until the morning No, you nmgn't talk to tm l* imper iously, as he commences to speak. Veiy charming she looks, with her little, haughty air, but very coinmau* ding, and her lover very wisely leaves her #o the balancing of duty and in clinatton, ol prudence and self-will, that is sure to turn in hisfuvor. All throbgh tlie evening and the next fort-coon she is the usuul bright fairy that her father worships; but hard ly has the carriage left the door when she turns to Jimmie, who is stand ing behind her, with the won's— ‘I will go with you to morrow 1' 1'uor little li|>s ! llow whiio-they art*, and how they quiver! Jimmie Gordon really loves her, and is veiy earneft iu tlie ambition that U’st prompted him ; but for a few mo mewt/he wavers m Iris purpose, so cruel in its sacrifice of this victim lo a destiuy so uncertain. He can hard ly be trained for the’utter selfishness of hii-ffUn when we think of tlie, to him, tremendous value of ihe prize, and tip training that has never liis intentions are wrong itcuse it lias never held up possibility of them ; bin not help feeling his reaped appointment to Jimmie; over the brief year after the marriage, while tliny live modestly on a few thousand dollars that Etta had in tier own hank account at the time of the elopement; over tlie awful day when* this giving out, u letter begging pardon and reconciliation is replied to with: "Dicxu St*—-Your favor of the S8tli received. My letter to you oT a year since fully overs the question upon which you touch. Phase consider our intercourse and correspondence closed. Yours truly,, He.not Lawton. And the nlo:m*raok closed down over them, driving into their very souls tlie mist and cold.

Only fora tew moments dees this lust, and he clasps iu Iris arm this trembling frame so low tig, even in its terror, clinging to Hie manliness that she sees in the fierce triumph sliming out of Iris eves. The next day all the soft beuiity has gone out of Nature, and bet sterner mood seems nfutiSid hy the unnatural betrayal of hospitality and deliberate deception instead of being tilkycii by the happiness of the lo\- er% The water that forty-eight-hour* before spoke only of the Skitnpole side of life with its lazy accent, now lashes itself to wake to the coming sttpm. The gentle lapping of the waves is changed to an uneasy rush and hoarse whisper: their bright di amond points give way to a dull, linden hue that is only harkened by tine while cups gleaming witli their continuous energy as far as the eye cm reach. As our run-awuys fly along on the railway to Rochester, they see the storm-ruck •Gome rolling in ragged and brown,’ and in that sheet of spray tutd rain and wind, each movement overtaking nni hiding another and another sail, they think tln-y see a shaduw of drnkness lying before them anti for bidding a glimpse of their future. Of ibis part of their story there is iiiLie to tell". If we were to follow them we would see them on Ihe wed ding-tour, happy in the present, and thinking little of any trouble to come Then came the return of Mr. Lai ton, his grief at Iris daughter’s flight and anger at her husband ; his inquiries' too late, about Jimmie by letters and eviii detectives, with the reports of mortal turpitude and bad reputation hat the detectives feel bound tagive him to justify their use and their pay ; and finally comes the day when, under the influence of these reports, of Iris hurt pride and disappointed affection, and spurred on by Iris wifes cautious encouragement, lie writes to Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, waiting lor Ii|a ai.swei in New York, that they shall never enter his nouse.
