I am not out out for an artist; noither con I get even bread and cheese, let alone an income to marry on, out of literature.

I mast cither enlist or emigrate; but there, I’llgaand talk to my pretty Mabel, 'rtijmk Heaven. I can still see her bright face occasionally.” A few minntes later, Bob Morgan was sitting on tho trunk of an old tree, on the outskirts of tho wood, with his arm around the waist of a fair, pretty girl, his betrothed wife, whom he was now obliged to meet secretly. In conse quence of his loss of fortune. Bhe did not look mirthfnl herself to night; her eyes were heavy with tears recently shed, and her pretty mouth was even now quivering with partially resaed grief.

The sight of your bright face clouded makes me feel as if all the world were wrap- { >ed in gloom, this fair summer even- ng.” “Oh, dear Bob, I am so nnhappy. You remember me telling you that Mr. Falkland, an old friend of papa’s, had come to stay with us on a visit? Well, it is too dreadfnl, Bob; mamma says he wants to marry me, and that if I do not say yes when he asks me, we shall all be ruined.” “To marry you, Mabel!” exclaimed Bob indignantly. “The old fright, how dare he? Why, didn’t you tell me he was eighty?” •Ob, no. Bob, but he is over sixty, and that’s <tuit« as old, I think,” — ,J Mabel illngioally. w*m 4ftm TOUf' msther about being Mined?” asked BoU “Oh.

We will run away, aud ive on my poor fifty pounds a year, first,” waid Bob stoutly; and then fol lowed much loving talk, and many castles in the air, for Bob’s presence seemed to bring back all Mabel’s light heartedness. But when she had left him, and returned to his home alone, all fears and anxieties ho had shaken returned with ten-fold force. “1 kuow what you are capable my good Mrs. Walton,” he sdluoqulBed; apostrophising his mother-in-law elect. “It's quite possible that the mortgage story is all made up. to try and fright en my poor little girl into the Idea that she is making a noble sacrifice of her self, for the benefit of the others. And I suppose that horrible old fellow fol lows her about, and grins at her, and forces hie odious presence on her, when he ought to be thinking of the grave, the old villain. He’s snre to be a Coarse old brute, for all his money was made In trade.” Bob felt all the contempt for such a sordid manner of nmassli wealth that the son of an over-work avum said oM wwrd that Mabel wss not fr by him. Now desperations made him "screw his courage to the sticking point,” and with a very red face and faltering voice, he said: “Sir, I have n idbst—that is, I want to say—I wonld speak to you in pri vate, if you please.” “Yes,” answered Mr. Falkland, look ing surprised but• quite unconscious. . •T shall bo most buppy to hear any i i.An*!? 8 , communication ybu please to make; but, as I cannot write yon to Walton Lodge, being only % visitor there, and as there is no one hero except the birds and squirrels to overhear oar conversa tion. perhaps we CAn talk now." ^ “Yes, certainly; T came on pur- poso’” stammered. Bob, growing more and more nervous: “I want to tell you —that is, yon must please that I—you—you—in fact, you can’t marry Mabel Walton, and what’s more. said you sha’u’t!” Bob’s sudden and defiant conclu sion arose more from rage at his un fortunate loss of wards, than from any other cause. “Sir!” said Mr. Falkland, looking at him with displeasure mixed with slight alarm as if he had been an escaped lunatic. “Will you kindly cxplaiu yourself P” “There Is nothing to explain, sir; I mly wish you to accept tho fact,” said Bob, now thoroughly exasperated by be other’s coolness. “I was engaged to Mabel Walton, with the full consent of both parents, wlieu I was heir to my uncleA fortune. But he, enraged be cause I wouldjiot .mm- his Adopted daughter, left her his fortune and me only fifty pounds per annum.
