He had got hlroaeJf Into ft scrape, nd.
manlike, had no definite idea bow be was
to get oat of it.
Last winter, la a flush of enibmiasm.
be bad rewarded MiM Mowbray's seraphic
miles by an offer of bis band and fortune
and she bad accepted the prise with a show
of tettderness that was perfect tn its war.
The marriage, In aJI human rjrobabll-
tties, would hare been consnmated, had
not the grim band of Fate beckoned the
unfortunate Con op to a little Tillage on a
flatting excursion otentbly, bat in reality,
to Ml in lore with pretty little Dora Blair.
He met her at a Tillage gathering and it
being a fixed principle of hit to attach him
self to the prettiest girl in the room, he ad
hered to his porpose with a rigidity which
would hare been extremely amusing, bad
U not so soon beeonra aerlooa, fr, after
two or three meetings. Master Con was
fairly Infatuated.- " v
For a week the dream was bright and
undisturbed. ' ,
Tnen Con began to feel uncomfortable.
With the prospect of being married to
one girl in a month he was hardly dishon
orable enough to propose the same course
with another.
But being neither rery clever nor origi
nal, he coold'nt see the slightest loophole ;
so he lingered on at Dora's side, and she.
poor chllil I was happy, even in the un
certainty.
Of course people talked as they always
do talk, an9 some more daring than the
rest encompassed Con. and looked unutter
able things as they spoke of Dora's parent
age.
"Lives with her father and mother.
Oh, yes; but then they don't happen to be
her father and motiier well, we don't
know, and the Blairs take care to give us
no information."
Then Con was angry.
He was just young enough to be Quixot
ic, amrot course, he wanted to marry her ;
to take his little star-faced angel to him
self ; to transplant his little field daisy to
a more luxuriant soil.
He went np to see tier with a letter from
Miss Mowbray In his pocket and an omin
ously guilty feeling about Ills lieart.
Pretty Dora, sat with tier white face up
raised, and her wondrons .. hslr foiling
around her like a glorious goldn cloud.
"I thonglrt you would come." she said,
slyly the color faintly flushing her foir
cheeks, and then, though Nature hadn't
made lilro so. Con felt more utterly foolish
than ever.
, "As If I conld stay away," he answered.
half reproachfully. "At least tiutii I have
to for I am going away in a day or two."
"Oh ! are you ?" very faint ami trem
nlotts. "Yes, but I'll came back again if any
one wants me."
She sto'e one qnick glance at hitn from
under her downcast lids.
"Do you want roe, Dora ? Will I come
back to you t "
No answer came from tlie parted Hps.
but I think he knew she wanted, for lean
ing over the garden gate he answered her
silence by saying :
"Very well, dear. Ill be back in a very
little while, and you'll be waiting fur me,
won't you?"
It was not very definite, to say tlie least
of It.
Con went home tliat nlglit, ecstatically
but guiltily happy.
And when lie reached home lie found a
letter awaiting him.
A letter from his mother, the dowager
Mrs. Creighton, demanding his instant
return.
"Gertrude Is very III." she said, "and
certain'y your place should be beside the
lady who In tour weeks will become your
wife. I have heard hut totally disbelieve,
a rumor of some girl whose pretty face has
attracted your attentions. It might have
troubled me, had t not known that I could
trust your dignity as being a member of
the Creighton family, and your honor as
being engaged to Gertrude Mowbray.",
, Con crushed the letter in his hand, and
tried to stare circumstances In tlie face.
but circumstances baffled him. and in a
state -of semi-torture, he retired to lib
dream-disturbed couch.
Tlie next morning be returned to Lon
don. .;",! :
Hiss Mowbray was much better when he
reached home. .; I . '
Mrs. Creighton greeted him with digni
fied pleasure, and poor Con felt; as utterly
mean and dishonorable as his most inveter
ate enemy could have desired. I
"Mr. Creighton. I would ! like to speak
with you for a moment, please.' ,
Coo was walking down the strand con
sidering how be should break off bis en
gagement, when the words struck his ear.
Con turned with a start, and encountered
his lawyer, Arthur Gray.
"Certainly, Mr. Gray I; "What's tlie
business now '
"Bather an unpleasant business, I mm
sorry to say. sir. But you will step Into
my office wliera I can fully explain.'
So Con followed him la, and waited to
hear what the unpleasant business might
be.
"Ton are aware sir, that your late uncle.
from whom yon inherited your fortune,"
died Intestate, or I should say. was thought
to bav died Intestate, whereon yon were

"After diligent inquiries, we have dis

bat with deliberation.
"Not quite, Mr. Creighton. Tour fath

Tour cousin arrived to-day, I believe."
Poor Con ; he managed to get out with

"Well, after all, there's one comfort."

Five minutes after he was sitting in the
dantlest of boudoirs, Gertrude before him

'Tou look dreadfully tired. Con. - Have
yon been walking very far ?"
"Not particularly tar, but I have bad
bad news, and as a general thing, that is
more barrassing than the mere effort of
walking."
"Why, what news have you had ?
Nothing very serieus, I hope."
"Oh, not at all; only that I've lost
every penny of the fortune my uncle left
me." P
"Lost, eh? Oh, nol Hosr?"
" Oh, in a romantic (way, of course,
It seems that my supposed f bachelor
uncle was, in reality, a Benedict, but,
as his marriage was in secret, and tlie
girl was a country law, nobody knew
anything about it ; so lie told her the
ceremony was false, and left her. She
died heartbroken, and left an heir or an
heiress, I don't know which. This
child takes the silver spoon out of my
mouth, and I, as you see am ruined.
Ot course, Geitie. I came to you first
to release you, if you- wished, from our
engagement. Reared as you have ben,
I t-ould not expect you to marry a poor
man, and, indeed in my changed cir
cumstances 1 could be no fit husband
for you.'
Then Miss Mowbray showed that,
girl though she was, site was equal to
the occasion. ' -
" I cau readily perceive, Mr. Creigh
ton, that it is j onr wish that our en
gagement should end, and knowing
that, I should be tlie lart ope to oppose
your inclinations. As regards to your
loss, I sympathize with you si hop rely,
but I cannot fail to rejoice that it hap
pened before I awoke to the fate of an
unloved wile."
So, for the last time Con went down
the steps, saying to himself :

Con turned on him, a sulky express

Look here, Gray ; isn't it enough
tor a fellow to be left penniless, without
making him play lackey to the girl
that's got bis money ? .. As you're so
desperately interested, yoa can tell my
cousin that I am rery much engaged
to-day, and can't go to her. If she
wishes to see my mother, I presume
she can find tier."
Arthur Gray turned lib back upon

lie was young and still unmarried,
so it may be presumed that he did not
feel very badly as be returned, to pay
his devoirs to the hmni A ,;,f;A:'Y
But Con did not feel badly as he
passed through bis mother! door, and
strode impatiently down the balls that
were no longer theirs.. . ,
He was ascending the stairs when
the servant called :
"I forgot to give you this note, Mr.
Creighton. It was left !$ about five
minutes ago. - I
Coo took it up arid glaoced careless
ly at it, a dainty little envelope whose
delicate address he did not recognise,
broke tlie seal and read.
" Miss Creighton'. complimeuU to
Mr. Creighton, and desires his unraed.

lij Jove t She'll offer me the
poet of footman next, I presume ; but
I'll go toer now and let berate bet

So in anything but as amiable
humor, he wended his way to her im
mediate presence.'
v M Miss Creighton ia engaged at pres
ent, but will be down in fire minutes,"
the waiter said ; and after be had dis
appeared , Con began to matter em'

Then, finding he had to wait, be re
signed himself to a comfortable arm
cliair, nntil a light step sounded in the
hall, until a slight figure,' with clouds
of golden hair and diaphanous robe ot
fleecy gauze, came floating into the
room, until a sweet voice ened out:
u Oh, Con, I am so glad to see you P
. Then, while he was staring and won
dering, Dora's" two white hands were
laid in his. m
Dora's a met face was upturned
to him.
Dora's violet eyes rested upon him,
the tender love-light lurking in their
depths.
" Dora, my darling ! My own little
Dora, what does this mean ?"
" Why, you silly fellow, it means
that you are my cousin, and I am glad,
oh ! so glad, Con, that I didn't take
your money, never to return it ; and
I'm more glad still that we met before
they made this discovery, and you
loved me in spite ot what people said."
He was so stupefied that he could
only manage to say :
" Why, did you know what they
said f
She drew herself up to her fullest
hight, and looking him proudly in the
face, said :
" Certainly I did not knew it, or I
would have found ont the truth and
told you all at the time you asked me
to be waiting for your return. I al
ways tliongbt I was grandpa's daugh
ter, for you know when mother died
we left the place where I was born and
went to tlie viliage-wbere you met me."
He began to realize it then, but still
you can , imagine that be felt rather
awkward.
" And so my little Dora is the heir
ess,' he began by way of prelude, but
she interrupted him : - -
" No, Con, I'm not. 1 don't waot
the money, nor grandpa nor grandma
don't want it. We were happy before,
and we can be happy again if "
And there she stopped, the violet
eyes drooped, and Con was kimselt
again as lie stooped toward her,sayuirx :
Very well, darling, but I must
take you, too, for arcurity."
Three months after, the security was
paid, and the golden link of the mar.
riage tie riveted the agreement forever,
while with smiling serenity Mrs. Creigh
ton, seuior, looked on, entirely . forget
ting her old advocacy of Gertrude
Mowbray, and Iter old aversion to the
little country girl whose " pretty face"
had attracted Con's attentions.
John Nicollet is a bandy genius,
and delights in a talent that makes him
a sort ot Jack of all trades. His cabin
is a museum wherein all sorts of articles,
from a broken thermometer to a model
for a patent slag-pot, can be found,
and in odd moments Jobn exercises hie
genius to its full bent. He recently
came into possession of an old rifle.
He knew it was not loaded, so be pot
the breech into the fire, ble bis band
bellows, and punched the fire with the
old barrel, muzz'e pointed toward him,
and finally stepped across the cabin,
leaving it in the: fire. Suddenly the
old gun-barrel disgorged a load that
pot a hole through the side ot the bouse
large enough tor John to crawl through,
and he felt like doing it when be re
membered what a narrow escape be bad
had. It is tlie cidy case on record
where one of "didn'tknow-H was-load-ed"
did not result fatally to some one.
- - General Joe Johnston is credited with
having origins le4the project of making
Grant Captain-General of the Army,
at a salary of $50,000. It b net at all
probable that General Grant cares to
be pensiojoed off in that manner. He
could make that much per annum in
civil life and have actual doxies to de
vote his energies to. ; He is not by any
means a drone.
Toombs of Georgia did not lose bis
fortune in the civil war, like thousands
of ojhar men whom he helped excite to

We bear a deal about the amount of
sleep, we most have to-order to be and
to keephealthfBl. There are, of coarse,
many cptmone on the abject, and each
physician naturally assumes to be excel
lent authority.: ; A view widely held is
that persons who work with their brain
need eight boars ot sound sleep, and
will suffer, soon or late, unless they
averaee as moeh as that? Some per
sons maintain that six hoars are suffi.
cietit fbr any rigorous person ; others
that five wUl answer. No absolute
rule, however, can be laid down. The
quantity of sleep depends very largely
on the man and his habit. He who has
been. accaomed toslesfv. eight .boars'
out of thetwenty.four thinks it impossi
ble to get on with anything less. He
who lief tn bed bat five of six hoars
habitually, seldom feels the need of any
more. Sleep indeed can readily be re
gulated by will an3 practice, occupation
and self-interest often governing the
matter. Most ot us can after a little
while, wake op at any time we wish,
and many can drop asleep at once, it
they give their attention to it. Napo
leon Bonaparte could slip into uncon
sciousness the moment be lay down ;
sleep for an boor, half an hoar, ten or
five minutes, as he wished. And he
hardly ever slept more than tour hours
a night, although he used his brain and
nerves, not to speak of his body, as few
men have before or since. Qnin, the
actor, on tlie other hand, would sleep
lor twenty-four consecutive hoars. Not
a few persons sleep any length of time
if undisturbed, never waking spontane
ously where there is quiet, even atter
twenty or more hours. One John
Mackey ot Skerry, England, died ir
1797, at the age of 91 ; be bad been
remarkably healthy and vigorous from
birth, and yet be had never slept more
than four hours of a night. Frederick
the Great and John Hunter, the cele
brated surgeon, slept bat' fire hoars.
and General Pichegrew never allowed
h Unset to exceed one hoar bat of twenty
four during a whole year's campaign.
Walter Scott declared that be reqnired
eight hoars of absolute oblivion to fit
him for the duties of composition. Men
ot firm will, high character, great self-
discipline, can do pretty much Jaa they
decide. They can, it. so inclined, re
create themselves, and one seldom bears
ot their saying what they most or most
not do. More or less steep is essential
to all of as, but we can live ami be
oomfortable on very ' little,, if we be so
resolved. Sleep, like food, can be or-
dered and adjusted according to our,
will. What we wish to do we are wont
to say' we must do, but there are no
roasts in the life of a manly man.
" The national pension list is lengthen
ing oot at an astonishing rate. It is
growing longer and longer every year.
The probabilities are that one-quarter
of the persons who now receive pensions
from the Government by reason of the
late war are not justly ; entitled to a
single cent. The liberality of the Gov
ernment is being imposed upon.
