I THK WAT Ah MIX. Old Dr. Tatlwiu was. sitting Cosily Willi his daughter one morning, when tin- servant eauien, and announced Mr. Irving and hi .son. "Lean ua.

I don't think she unite liked be ing sent away just at that moment ssid it is nite certain that slie raised her head very suddenly when she hoard the uame "Walter Irving" men tioned.

Mr. Inrtnz uVs alioor to come to the lHiint. ami i explain more iiarticnlarly the object of his visit on this occasion, w lien lie as stopped hy tlie doctor. "I lieg panlon,'" said he, "but may I be allowed to interrupt you for a moment. It woukl be absnrd of me, to aflect ignorance of the object of your visit. Before, however, I can listen to wliat either yim or your sm have got to say. 1 liave something very uiiKrUint' to divulge. I must take yon into my contiilonce. and re late something whhili it is neWttan you should know a secret which 1 fearlessly entrust to you." Walter Irving rose. The doctor appreciated the inodast dillldciiee of tlm young man, as lie showiil by the smile wluvh played over his features. "My dear boy.'' said the doctor, "I U'g that vou will remain. What I have to say affect you much more particularly than any one else here. S'on have lieen a good son, aud I feel i ..undent tlaf you will make an exi-el-lent husband.

Keep it; yes, even' from my daughter! Mr. Irving and his son were evi dently not prepared for so serious an Interview. However, they promised faitlifullv to obey tlie doctor's earnest riiiest,'anil waited patiently tor him in eulifjimc. The doctor looked' romal fn his ehair. to assure himself that they were alone, and then, clearing his throat and addressing himself more particu larly to young Walter Irving, spoke as follows : - "Kiglit-and-twenty years agoT was studying medicine at a German uni versity. It van at Heidelberg. 1 did not take up this study until late in life. In tVt. considerably after I liad taken mv degree at Oxford. 'When I first took np my residence in Heidellierg, the somewhat absurd custom of diielliug between tlie stu dents was in vogue. The students were mail on the subject of duelling, and the slightest disturUmce resalteil in a formal and hostile encounter. Hardly a day nags cd that some duel or other did not take place. The students fought occa tkmaHy with the ofHuers as well as with tire townspeople, and, I need hardly add, perpetually among them selves. "1 wits a strong muscular fellow when 1 'went to Heidelberg, and the love lor adventure and sports of all kinds, which I laid inherited at school and fostered at college, was not easily U lie got rid of. 'I was as wild and as headstrong as any of them. My strong and n fiinch'iiig English spirit ant) determi nation gained me a reputation even among urese dare-devil German boys, atal very soon I became noted as a reek lev fellow aud experienced duellist. I became the leader of a "cliu,ue." "A very Bttle way from where my lodgings were, lived a young stutlent, but who was as unlike me, or any in my act. as black Is from white. He was the kind ot fellow we should have called a milksop-' at school; and yet, somehow or other, 1 felt I could not dislike the fellow. Instinctively I don't know how it was but I took to him.
