The girl sprang to meet him. “Oh, Augustus* I’m so glad you’ve come at last! I’ve wated aD age; but, with a sudden anxiety, as she noted his grave expression— ‘what success have you had? Bid papa consent to see you, after hav ing so cruelly forbidden me to re- eieve your visits t “Yes he saw me,” the young man answered gloomily. “He could not have avoided it, as 1 met him at £ths door just; as be was leaving the house.” “And what did he say, she asked eagerly.

How? Why?”- she fal tered. , . “For proposing to marry on six huhdred dollars a year.” “But papa has enough for us all, and I am his only Ohild. Surely* you reminded him of that.” “No, indeed. How could I stoop to such mercenary considerations'? On the contrary, I told Him I did not want 4)is money; that I could make my fortune as he had done, and that all I asked him was his fejiisent to our mar: rage.” “And what did he say then?” she inquired'eagerly. “Nothing; except to request me to leave the house aud never again she walked in the garden beneath ■ sight of him stand as if petnfted, j to commence preparations for the the grove and the villa. j Aud it was not until the old wedding.—Saturday Night.

I told him that we loved each other, and defied any human power to keep us apart!” The girl’s cheek flushed and her eyes glowed.- “That’inust have touched him!” she said, gazing with proud ten- • derness into her lover’s face. That iftust have stirred His feelings* if Anything could.” [7 “It did!” responded Augustus grimly. “In fact—I don’t wish to harrow your feelings, Maude, dearest—but your father was Stirred to that degree that he not only slammed the library door in my face as I left the room, but fol lowed me to the hall door and flung the door-mat after mS: Indeed, I feuspeet the mark is still upon my back.” . “So it is!” said Maude indignant ly; “stand still, dear, and let me brush off the dust.

He-does some- water, and with hands and feet he commenced a desperate but futile effort to surmount the slippery cl ay bank. Seeing this, Maude knelt down on its edge and extended both her hands, which he imprudently grasped—but, alas! with a contra ry effect to what was intended. In a moment she was in the wa ter, with difficulty supported in the arms of her lover* whose feet, with additional burden, stuck sast in'-the miry bottom. It was iu this situation, strug gling waist deey'iri the water, that they were discovered by Miss Pilkins, • when summoned by Maude’s shrieks, she hurried -to the spot. “Graciqus heavens!” Mr. Tom linson—Maude! How did this happen? Why don’t you save yourselves?” she cried excitedly. “We can’t!” gasped Maude,fran tically clinging to her lover. “I—I fell in, and Augustus tried to save me, and—we’ll drown if you don’t help us.” “Give ifie yOtlr shawl,” promptly responded the practical Miss Pii- kins, “aud don’t get excited. You can’t drown if you keep still, and I’ll have you out in three minutes.” Hooking up the shawl with a crooked stick; she tied *t to her owm, and attaching one e_d to a sapling on the bank, t and twisted the two into a rope. By means of this the pair were enabled after much scrambling and exertion, to reach firm ground, where they stood dripping aud shivering. “Here you are, safe,” said Miss Pilkins; “and now I should like to know what’s the next thing to be done.” “W-warm b-bath for Maude,” chattered Mr. Tomlinson, all of a tremble, while the water dripped from the ends of his drooping mustache and limp fingers. “I— I’ll g-go h-home!” “Go home in that fix? And hatch your death of cold by the way! Come along to the house, both of you, as fast as you can. Brother has gone to a political meeting start with a supper afterwards, and won’t be back till midnight. You two come through the garden while I go through and unlock the back door.” ■ Once ki the house; Maude, who despite her fright; had not suffer ed nearly so much. as her lover; huriied to her. room, while Miss Pilkins directed the housemaid to show Mr. Tomlinson at once to the east chamber; “Pleasem’m,” said the sympa thetic Betty, “there, ain’t been a fire in the east room this fall, and the bed ain’t fixed nor the sheets voice, did Mr. Tomlinson from his peaceful repose. “Hello! What is the meaning of this?” At the sound of that awful voice the household rushed up-stairs, all but Maude—who immediately fainted dead away in her room. “Hiram listen to me —let me^ex- plain.” “Explain!” roared Mr. Hogan. “Didn’t I turn this fellow out of my doors a fteWj;[hours ago—and don’t I come home to find him again not only iu my house, but in my room—in [my bed?

Left thus alone, Tomlinson arm ed himself with the only weapon that presented—the fire tongs— and facing the door, stood breath lessly awaiting the further course of events. He heard the retreating foot steps aud voices die away, and a door violently slam, Then ensued five minutes of dead silence, at the end of which time quick aud heavy steps came- along .t he passage aud the door knob violently rattled. Augustus nerved himself, raised the tongsjabove his head^ bravely, and prepared to defend his life. Light steps now ran along the passage, the key turned in the lock, and the door flew open, re vealing Mr. Hogan, his sister, and the female servants. * He advanced toward Tomlinson with outstretch ed arms aud tears in his eyes. “Mr: Tomli nson! My dear young friend! How can I atone for my late hasty conduct?—how can I thank you sufficiently for so hero ically saving the life of my only and darling child?” The tongs fell from the you® mans hands as Maude’s agitated father seized and shook them, with a vigor that brought the tears to his own eyes. Cook and -Betty were already sobbing. “Mr. Hogan; Sir',” commenced Augustus, with as much dignity as was consistent with the' situation and his peculiar attire, “I must protest. You greatly overrate—” But just here he was aware of covert signals from Miss Pilkins, who was hovering anxiously in the background. “You need not deny it* Mr; Tomlinson,” she said aloud. “But Curious Facts.
