TILE GEEYBANK JJlAiiU.vUS.
"My dear aunt," said Mr. Loftue
Blackacre to Lady Grisscll Greybank,
"and if not, why not?" He had re
cently answered "interrogatories" in
an action against the firm which he
honored with junior partnership;
hence the form of the question which
her ladyship appeared unable to an
swer. "Of course," she said, with a sigh,
if you will not help me!"
The assistance she required was the
investment of the funds settled upon
her on her marriage by her husband in
the ordinary shares of a gold mine of
highly doubtful geographical situation.
As her trustee he had declined to ac
cede to her request, and had suggested
that if a season in London was a neces
sity for her daughters she had better
introduce a young American lady into
society in their company and let her
pay the piper. The cnoice Jay Deiween
that and letting 400 Eaton square and
spending the summer at Bournemouth.
I could not aaveruse, sigueu iier
ladyship.
"Of course not, ana it you aia you
would onlv be answered by the news
paper people looking for something to
write about. I have the very girl-
Miss Loftinia McNcase I know she
wants something of the sort."
What will she pay?" asked her lady
ship. The commercial instincts of her
maternal trraiidfather, which account
ed for her nephew's success in the city,
were evidently coming out in her.
Two thousand for the season ana a
percentage on marriage into tne peer
agethat is what I shall suggest. You
constitute me your ageut; of course I
shall take no commission from you,
said Mr. Blackacre.
Is she very dreadful?" said Lady
GrisselL
"Well, she's American," said her
nephew; "that covers a multitude of
sins; and till her father died tbey lived
quite quietly; high tea, you know, and
cooked it themselves. Since 1 met
them at Florence I expect she got
quite accustomed to a clean plate for
each entree, and shea reauy a very
nice sort of girl."
"But is she rich?'
"Enormously; old McKease died be
fore he quite realized what a pile he
had made, and for years she has had
no mother."
"Isn't there some proverb about
being born lucky as well as rich?" said
Lady Grissell. "You might put us in
correspondence, and then we will have
an interview; are you sure she is not
very bad?"
"She s an American, my dear aunt,
of the plain type, with well, we'll
call it an intonation," said her nephew.
'The rest you must really find out for
yourself."
As the business man of the family,
be found his relatives a little irritat
ing. "What shall you tell her about me?"
said his aunt, meekly, as he took uphia
hat to Ipav.
I shall tell her that you combine the
blood of the oldest families in Eng
land, with the oldest couutry seat, the
oldest plate and the most magnificent
diamonds in Bunkshlre. I know that
will fetch her. By the way, 1 fancy
you might, perhaps, get leave of the
court of chancery to sell these dia
monds, and have the proceeds invested
by your trustees; you d get no income
out of them."
Never," said Lady Grisscll Grey-

you to appreciate the honor of your

"Well, It's no good getting shirty,

that passed into Lady (Jrissell's eyes as
she answered froze her blood which it
was quite calculated to do or not, at
that precise moment Miss Loftinia Mc
Nease fainted.
It was not a dead faint; there was
nothing undignified or unpleasant
about it; it could hardly be said that
her features were invaded by an unbe
coming pallor; but her expressive dark
eyes closed, she held a perfumed lace
handkerchief to her rosy lips, and
with a low moan sank back in her
chair. One of her ladysb'p's own
daughters would not have succumbed
to indisposition in a more becoming
manner than this unsophisticated
daughter of a Yankee mill-owner; it
really was one of the most winning in
cidents of the whole interview, and
Lady Grissel Greyback bent over her
with the tenderness of a mother and
her own smelling bottle in her hand.
"May I lay down?" she murmured
faintly.
"You 6hall lie upon the sofa," whis
pered Lady Grissell, slightly accentuat
ing the "lie.
"But some of your swell friends will
come in," murmured the graceful be
ing, dropping in the arm-chair.
"I will conduct you to my bedroom,
ana order the carriage to take you
home," said Lady Grissell. "My maid
shall help you upstairs.'
"If I may be quiet for a quarter of
an hour I shall be all right 1 think I
can get there by myself; please don't
ring, your ladyship Lady Grissell.
So she herself accompanied her up.
stairs, and with her own hand drew
down the blind, while Miss Loftinia, in
spite of the gold-topped smelling-bottle
in ber hand, apparently fainted
again, with her head on the lace-bor
dered pillow, and her ladyship returned
to the drawing-room to send a message
to her coachman.
Ten minutes later Mr. Loftus Black
acre called, and was duly concerned to
learn of what had occurred.
"ahe is so charming! I am so sorry
for her; she looks delicate," said Lady
Grissell.
"Does she?" said her nephew. "Well,

"Excuse inc." Hiiid his aunt; "I told
them to bring in any letters that

And she took a couple of letter from a
silver salver.
'I don't understand," she aald.
