The Great Tontine vent o f that young sailor. " I t is a good thing for him, of course, to have got a ship, although I suppose that means bid ding him good-by tor a very long while.” “ Yes,” replied Beatrice, "that is the w a n t of it. It is s f coarse very aloe that he should got a ship, because I know he wants ons; but. I must say, I don’t like losing Jack for so long.” "Pooh, child! Jack has got Mo way to make in the world, and that is not to be done by dangling about your apron strings.” *T don’t think Jack minds being bullied and teased by me, grandmamma," replied the girl. "H e will probably bring home n w ife from the other aide of the world.” "Jock will never marry.” replied the girl quickly. “ Ah. well, my dear,” said the old lady demurely, “ no doubt you know boot,’’ “ You are a wicked old woman,” cried the girl, ao her cheeks flushed, and she threw her arms round her grandmother’s neck and kissed her. "H ow dare you entrap me like that?” But now the door opened, and Mr. Phillimore made his appearance— a good- looking young fellow enough, with fair hair, bold blue eysa, and a blonde mus tache. H e shook hands cordially with tbs ladies; and his greetings made. In obedi ence to the announcement that dinner woo randy, handed Mr*. Lyme Wregia with gay courtesy to the dining room. "And so, Jack, yon ore pleased with ro a r appointment,” observed Mrs. Lyme Wregie. " I suppose it really is a nice thing for you.” "Great bit o f lock.’’ he replied. " I as the Admiral’s a n going oat, you flog lieutenant.” “ And on you ai years. Jack,” remarked Beatrice. “ Yes; bat it is to be spent at a ’ first- rate station." “ And you would bare no regrets about leaving England for so long?” inquired Beatrice, in somewhat more serious tones. “ Well, of course,” replied her cousin, “ 1 should be sorry not to see any o f you for ao long a time; but then, you know, when a man turns sailor he of course ex pects all that sort of thing. Besides. I shell never be more than n few days distant from you, end ran always make a desk home if any event of importance lo about to take place in the family.” “ Such as my marriagfc, you know,” replied Beatrice demurely. , ,JYes, you may be quit* sure I shall be A e ro whenever that takes place,” said Jack Phillimore. “ even i f I am tried for desertion afterwards.” “ Ok, but you aright not be asked, yon eoca. Jack?” Mid tbe girl in low tones, while her cousin dosed th* door behind V n . Lyme Wregie. “ I leave Waterloo by the mail train to morrow night,” he replied; “ and this is the last time that I shall see yon, Trixie, till I don’t knew when. I have got so much to do to-morrow that it will be quite impossible for me to get out here; hut I have counted on this evening. I have something to ray to yon before I leave England, something Indeed that I could not leave England without seying. Cannot yon guess what It is, Beatrice?” The girl’* lips syllabled a scarcely au dible “ N o," to which the blood that man tled her cheek* gave flat contradiction. “ Yea, I think you ran. darling,” he continued. “ I f I have never told you in gctual words that I love yon. it is because I have-told you in so many other ways that it was needle*», f have loved you fo r years.
