It’s some nonsense on Harry’s part, of course. But Mrs. Eldon won’t find it so easy to fool with me.—Ah 1” as the door opened and a neat little maiden oourtosied to him pretily. ‘Give my card to yonr mistress, my dear.” The girl showed him into a little parlor, fresh and cool, where the blinds were olosoly drawn, to ex clude the too intense rays of the Au gust sun. It seemed almost like pitch darkness to him at first, ooming in out of thp broad glato of a summer noon. He made his way.to the window and sat down, peering through the green soreen of loaves into the sun in garden beyond. “Plehsant and cool,” ho muttered, but dark as Erebus. I wonder if it would be treason to open the blinds.” • Befoiie lie had time to decide, the door opened instead, and he arose, as a fair young girl entered and came quickly and confidingly toward him. It was she who had come out of the bright light uow, and the soft green twilight decoivcd her. The card had borne her lover’s name, Mr. H Sterne ; she saw a man standing near the window. It was Harry, of course, and she wont towards him gladly, am!placed her hand in Ilia. “Dear Harry, I’m so glad you’ve comb 1” she said impulsively, - not stopping at first to wonder at the absence of. his usual welcoming em brace. “I’m in such trouble !

Tho lawsuit is lost, dear; has been decided against ns, and I shall be quite, quite penniless!” She sat down and burst into tears, covering hot* face with her little white hands, and nevor suspecting her own mistako.

A manly man is never half so 1 ready to knook some one down as ho is to help some ono up. Early in life ho is up and at work of some sort, according to the position in whioh he finds himself placed by Providenco. Ho does not wait to be dragged and pushed into his groove; lie finds,it. Ho is not tho sort of person to wait for old aunts and uncles to leave him something; nor docs ho think much of his ances tors. Like Napolcan, “ho is an ancestor himsejf.” And one trait is peculiar to him: If you need him, there ho is, That is one attnbtto of maaliucss; ho novor fails you in time of nood.
