Navy to employ a United States ship or
charter a private vessel to convey to Ire¬

resolution was reported to the Senate

Mary’s only reply to this was a smile
and blush. Our hero was considerably
embarrassed by the recollection of tho
mistake ho had made, but the quietly loon
cordial greeting of his young hostess :
put him comparatively at rat.
At her father’s request—who was very |
proud of his daughter’s varied accom- j
plishmcnts-Mary sang and played
her cousin ; and his visit ended in singu
lar contrast to tho stormy way it t otn
menced. Edward refused the live dollar
note tendered to him at parting for ins
traveling expenses.
The old man smiled as he returned the
note, to his pocket took.

as if you needed it though.”
“Not at present, thank you, uncle,”
the cheerful response. “(Juriously
it is the same business that I
to buy then. The man who took
bad to borrow money to purchase it
and getting so much involved that
had to sell at a sacrifice—
“Just what you wanted to do.”
Edward smiled at the point made by
uncle.
“It isn’t wlmt I’ve done though. I’ve
four dollars a week from my sala¬
ry for the last three years; and so was
not only aide to pay the money down but
had fifty dollars besides.”
“Bravo 1 my hoy,” cried tho delighted
old man, with another grasp of the hand
that made our hero wince. “I’m proud
of you ! You’re hound to succeed, I see,
and without anybody’s help. 1 told your
cousin l'olly that when slit: was eighteen
I’d buy her a house in the city : that she
should furnish it to suit herself, and
have all the servants slu: wanted, and
I’ve kept my word. Come around and
see us whenever you can. You’ll al¬
ways find the latch string out.” »
Edward did not fail to accept the in¬
vitation so frankly extended—a very
pleasant intimacy growing up between
the three during the twelve ......tbs that
followed. Our hero’s business grew and
prospered until lie began to think of re¬
moving giyen to a larger place. His uncle
had him several liberal orders, as
well as sent him a number of customers,
but said nothing more about assisting
him in any other way until Christmas
eve. Entering the room where Edward
and his daughter were sitting, he said :
“I mustn’t delay any longer the little
lift I promised you, nephew, and which
you have well earned.”
Edward glanced from the live thousand
dollar check to the lovely face at Iiis
side, and then to that of the speaker.
“You are very kind, uncle far kinder
than 1 deserve—but—
“But what, ladSpeak out! would
you prefer it in some form J”
Edward’s lingers closed tenderly and
strongly over the hand lie had taken in
“Yes noele__ mail i.itnis” ’
The old looked keenly from one
to the other. j j
“You are asking a good deal, nephew,
Roily, have you been encouraging this I
young man in Ids presumption ?” j
“I’m afraid I have, father,” was the |
smiling response. ;
“Then go, my daughter. 1 give you
into worthy keeping ; and if you make j 1
your husband's heart as lutppy as short! your
mother did mine during the few
years that slie tarried hy my side, lie will i
be blest indeed.” I
