JMi W J" ' Changed Marvin TIlEi wore stanuiug uoiuix- iv funiery shop In l?ond street as I passed them two young ladles of manifestly good society, so refined was their appearance and -so perfectly correct their tenure. I could not help half turning, and who should they ho but that archtease of-a cousin of mine, Sybil Vane, and her bosom friend, Gjveu O'Hara. It was Sybil that had V spoken, and she said: ".Fancy that little fool throwing her self away on a man like that when she kliows he only wants her for her money." "What little fool aud what'man?" I asked, as I raised my hat by way of ' apology for the Intrusion. "Oh, you men! You never know any thing," said Sibyl, when she had recov ered from the shock my question had evidently occasioned. 1 "Tlijgrnjll mc," I rejoined. "You nev er haW any secrets from me, you know ahst, not for long." "why, Honor Beaumont and Capt Faulkluer, to lie sure." "Are they engaged to be married?" "Of course they are, and he hasn't a penny, while she has a mil 1 Ion." "Well, he's a very handsome fellow, and she Is passable." "They say he cheated at cards, that he's In everybody's debt, and Is nothing short of a mere adventurer. And yet Honor Beaumont has accepted him! I say It's really too bad of her." I bad known Faulklner for some years, and I am bound to say I had very little to urge In his defense. He had never been actually caught In any nefarious proceeding, but It was known that he had run through most of his friends, and that he Avas wonderfully lucky at faro, and that he was anxious ly looking for nn heiress. The wedding took place, and about four mouths afterward Captain and Mrs. Faulklner were buck in town, ap parently the happiest people to be found lu all Belgravla. As for Faulklner, he seemed com pletely changed. There was a manli ness about him that one never noticed before; his eyes wore a frank expres sion that was truly refreshing to see. He was clearly devoted to his wife, and they seemed to perfectly understand and trust each other. What could It mean? Gradually I got to really like Faulkl ner. He made a splendid host, was a pattern of the domestic virtues, and Im pressed one ns being the soul of honor. Our acquaintance Anally ripened Into n rlnsn friendship, and the intimacy de veloped until at length I found myself how I know not on terms of real coufldenee with the man whom, only a . few months before, I had been Inclined to look upon very much In the light In which he was regarded by my cousin Sybil. One evening ho expounded the mys tery. "Shall I tell you tho story of our courtship, Jack?" he asked. "As you will, ray dear fellow," I re plied, "if it Isn't too sacred a subject for a third party." "That's Just It it is a sacred subject, os you will see." He lit his cigar and proceeded: "All that the world thought and said of me before I was married was true, and more than true. I was a 'regular bad lot.' And It Is truo also that lTrpro posing to Miss Beaumont I was acCo ated by the most mercenary motives, nnrl tlinsn nlonn. "All that I wanted was her money lmr mniipv.

My chief anxiety was to prevent her getting any Inkling of the truth, and so I never ceased to danco constant attendanco on her, and psnoplnllv to withdraw her as far as posslblo from her lady friends.
