"Tea," su.J Miss Abigail In as low tone as she could well make him bear. for she bad beard some one 1 1 the ball, "I accept, Mr. Melville, but I am afraid I am not worthy the trust you have In me.' "Oh. yea," replied Mr. MelvlUe; "I will trust you. I would trust you with anything, Miss Abigail with myself even," be added, little knowing bow his words were applied. "Tbe 28tb." said Mr. MelvlUe, settling back in his chair and looking at Miss Abigail. "Oh, dear, she said. "So soon as that? Well, I will try and be ready.' "And Joachim must not know I am going away. It would break bis heart You can bring him down stairs after I leave In tbe morning.' Yes," said Miss Abigail, "I will see to the cat," but she looked surprised, Why should Mr. MelvlUe mention tbe cat at sucb a time? "And now." said Mr. MelvlUe, want to leave all arrangements In your care. Miss Abigail felt that she was per fectly capable of attending to every thing, but It did not seem exactly tbe proper thing for her to do. "Do yoo mean that I shall attend to every thing?" she shouted through tbe trim pet, "Yes." he replied. "I leave all In your bands, as I explained to yon In my note. "Very well." said Miss Abigail. 1 wiU do tbe best I can." "And you are sure, dear Miss Abi gail, that you will not regret it? It will be very inconvenient for you." , Miss Abigail blushed, but replied, "Oh. not at all." She was afraid that there might be some one In the baU listening, so she rose to terminate the Interview, and Just then some one cams In. Sir. Melville was very busy for the next two weeks, and If Miss Abigail herself had not been bo busy with mak lug all the arrangements for the wed ding she might have thought that be wasn't a very ardent lover, Wben Miss Abigail bad occasion to ask questions In regard to tbe cere mony, which was only once or twice, she bad to wait nntil every one was out of tbe dining room to get a chance to speak to blm. lie bad expressly stated tbat she was to attend to every thing. It vans to be a quiet wedding. with ouly Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Smith- Jones and Potter present, and Mra. Jenkins was to bore a luneb for them afterward. She bad asked blm if 8 o'clock in tbe afternoon would answer and if It should occur at St. James, Piccadilly. He had repeated the words James, riccaaiuy. and said yes, wondering wny aiiss adi-i gall referred to bis brother's business in I'lccadilly. Mr. Smltb-Jonea was to be best man. In due course or time the itn ar- rived. Miss Abigail s weaning aay. After Mr. Melville had departed for the city Joachim and all bis belongings were, according to Instructions, car- ried down to Miss Manning's room. Now, It happened that on reaching tbe city Mr. Melville round there waai not much for him to do the last day, so he returned early to the bouse, de- termlned to have a nice rest until it was time for the night train to Dover, It being a warm day, and be having had a hearty lunch. It happened tbat wben Mr. Smith-Jones, dressed and ready for the momentous occasion, knocked at the door at z o'clock, ana no amount of knocking and pounding having the least effect, had opened the door, bad found the nriuegroom elect fast asleep In a chair, with his feet stretcher! comfortably in another, ana handkerchief over bis bead to keep on tue nies. "Scandalousl" sutd Smltb-Jonea to himself, who Imagined that Mr. Mel- vine nad Decn portaging or something stronger thnn cold tea. "Wake up, I aieiriuei no yoo Know wnai lime re isr Yoo will te late for the wedding!" be I shouted. W eililing." repeated Mr. MelvlUe. Then seeing Mr. Smltb-Jonea waa In full dress a smile broke over his couo- tenance. "Oh. you sly dog." he said. "And so' you are going to be married and want me to assist?" Mr. Smith Jones stared j "What a joker yoo are, MelvlUe! But come, hurry np. or you will not be ready In time." "I was never at a wedding." Melville, "snd do not know Just said vbat you want me to do." "Never mind," replied 8mitb-Jones. "Yoo put yourself entirely In my hands. I will tell yoo what to da Do you un derstand?" be shouted. "You are to do Just wluit I show you. I will see that yoo get through all right" At last Mr. Melville was ready, and they descended to the dining room, where Mrs. Jenkins and Mlaa Abigail were waiting.

"No," aald Smltb-Jonea, "yoo do not need one. You do only Just wbat I bow you." At tbe church door all alighted, wber a small group was waiting for the wedding purty Mr. Melville seemed daaed and did not know wbat to do nntil bis mentor stepped np and put Miss Abigail's arm In bla. Mr. Smith-Jones went on ahead as a sort of usher, and Mrs. Jenkins, on the arm of Mr. Potter, followed. Tbe church was so dark, coming In from the sunlight, that Mr. Melville could not at tlret sea anything. Ha thought to himself It must tie natural for the best man to tuke In the bride, At tbe altar tbe minister, an old and deaf man, was already waiting. He was In a great hurry to get through, so as to take a train' for the country, snd began tbe service before tbe wed ding party knew wh.-.t they were about. Poor Melville did nut notice anything jntll Smith-Jones was poking at Ills elbow and finally put Melville's band Into Miss Abigail's, and Bmltb-Jonea, who had tbe ring, was also obliged to put that on the bride's finger. Then they were all bustled Into the vestry to sign the register, where the old clergy man was already out of bis surplice nd tbe door at tbe same time. As they turned to leave Smltb-Jonea txclaimed: "If tbe man hasn't signed as witness! Where la heT" For tbe bridegroom bad disappeared. He was out In tbe church examining some of the ancient tablets, while tbe -what Is the matter, mv dear ChrUto- vhctt" atcsaia. blushing bride was waiting In a eorner of the vestry. Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. potter were looking amazed, whlla the perspiration was beginning to ran down poor 8mlth-Jones' face. "It la my fault." be aald. "Itordhlra I would show him what be must do." And. grasping Melville's arm. be hur ried blm back to the vestry, where again be was attached to his bride. In some way they au got out Into tbe street, wben presently Mr. Melville found himself alone In a carriage with Bliss Abigail. Then he began to be alarmed and turned first white and then red. The bride was frightened. "What Is tbe matter, my dear Chrta- topberT" she said, for now tbat they were married she considered It proper to address blm by his Christian name. Mr. Melville gasped. She bad called him Christopher) Wbat bad happened? was be mad? Had be lost his reason? "I am afraid, madam," be said, "that some dreadful mistake baa happened.' "Dreadful mistake?" she replied. -v nat ao yoo mean, sir? You are marrledr she shouted above the roar of the street and noise of the carriage. "MarrtedT" be said. "Impossible!" "Why, Mr. MelvlUe, you proposed. and I accepted. "When did I propose, madam?" "Why. two weeks ago In the dlnlna? room at Mrs. Jenkins'." " Mr. MelvlUe happened to think of the note he had written. Could that have anything to do with tbe matter? "You received my note?" he asked, Miss Abigail an Id no and shook her bend very decidedly. Mr. MelvUle sank back into the carriage. It all came to him at onee- how Misa Abigail bad misunderstood blui and. be not bearing her replies, she had thought be proposed. Aqd now they were married What a dreadful situation: Wlmt should be do? And here they were back at the bouse, and Joachim, the unwitting author of all the trouble, waa sitting oo tbe top step, having escaped from Miss Abigail's room. Smltb-Jonea and Potter wera aston ished to see MelvlUe Jump out of the carriage and. leaving his bride, rush up tbe steps swesrlng audibly at his pet and kicking tbe poor cat down the steps. - - . voafiitsiasj on x ori trag. nun n.n n ORtliOX COXPEBEME.
