She was very pale and her eyes were closed, but sha smiled with supreme content "Is she hurt?" the colonel asked, in a tone of horror. Winifred opened her eyes and laughed. "No, not hurt," she said, and the color came again to her face. She stretched out her arms as her father bent over her, and clasped him around the neck. "Nothing can make me love vou leu dear father," she wisiiered. "The more I love him, the more must I love you."

So in a day or two poor Uncle John was perfectly miserable. No one bad any thing to aay to him, and he moped in hi miserable little den alone, wishing be had remained at the mines, at St Louis, anywhere, rather than have come here. But one evening there waa a tap at the door which Interrupted the most dismal reverie he had yet had, and who should enter but Miss Fannie! She threw her arms around the old man's neck and began to cry little, and be, rather bewildered, responded by such soothing words as he could command: and presently she said: "Oh, (JncleJobn, what must you think of ns all? Yon are treated so badlyl 1 am going to tell yon the truth, dear Uncle John; it' mamma' fault Lucius aay it' a sin and a shame, and so it is, and I won't encourage or take part in it." There waa a good deal more sobbing, rather unintelligible and very afflicting to the listener, bnt the troth soon peeped out, and John Warbeck in flash saw all Tlie revelation waa the greatest grief of hi life.

"She loved my money and not me!" he thought )t is worth a quarter of a million, and more, to find out thing like this, wow.whatshallldoabontit?" Fannie' countenance soon cleared up, seeing he was more cheerful, and so they talked a long time in the aoft twilight of that little room, and she told him, as be tenderly smoothed her pretty hair, a little secret It was, of course, some thing in regard to Lucius.

And truly they were, if poor Fannie was going to wait for the accumulation of that "easy competence" upon which ner uiunmia insisted aa a sine qua non, but which aa yet waa a thing seriously projected ana not begun. AH this was very delightful to old John Warbeck, a poetical romance in whicn lie instantly became profoundly interested, to the entire exclusion of his own affairs. He got up, went over to his trunk, and took from that capacious receptacle a pair of old fashioned ear rings and a breastpin. The breastpin was a large locket set with diamond. and there was a faded daguerreotype in it oi a muy some one, perhaps, whom Uncle John had once admired.
