DRIVEN TO MARRIAGE.. ?HAT Hugh Cole wood ought to ho the happiest man in Greenville was everybody's He was young, handsome and well educated; then, just as ho was preparing to tight his way to fame with poverty arrayed against him, ho had suddenly been made - u- "?'? *? t',? tino old estate of his eccentric aunt, Miss Betsy G'olowood, re ceutly deceased. What more was necessary to the happiness of a guy young fellow like Hugh Colewood? Nothing, it soeiucd to the envious bachelois. However, th'ero wore conditions, 01 I a* _.tii t.!.U I one, at least, la 1110 auum win which caused him no little uneasiness. lie must love and marry the girl of her chocc,ono whom ho had never even eeen. Hugh Colcwood caught up his aunt's last letter to him and read it again aud again,hoping to find some little loophole of escape from the galling condition. Hut it was there in merciless black aud white. This is tho part that worried him: "If you cannot comply with my wishes for you to meet Ethel Wayne and love and marry her you forfeit your heirship to my estate. Ethel's mother was my dearest frieud, and if you marry her daughter it will he fulGiliug my fondest desires. You cannot help loving her. "I could not rest in my tomb peacefully and know that Ethel was not mis tress of my estates, and you, dear boy, the master. My lawyer, Mr. Cranston, will arrauge for you to inout Ethel, as ho is one of her guardian*. You know how thoroughly I despise old bachelors, the re- \ fore, 1 give you warning that I will not allow yon to inhabit my houses and lunds as one of that disagreeable, eiu?ty order." So hud written tlin eccentric spinster. Hugh nibbled the ends of his mustache I impatiently as ho pondered on the con ditions which the will imposed. Hugh loved the Colewood estates, and could not hear to think of giving them up. Now, if the will had not specified whom he must, marry, tint left the selection of a wife entirely to himself, Hugh believed that ho would have enjoyed the romance of hunting for a bride. lie (licked up his hat and rushed from his room, going up to the h >tol where Mr. Cranston was stopping, while he | ... .',>?iv .Aovvi->.? ..vctsi'' .said the lawyer, scrutinizing the Hushed fare and nervous manner of the visitor. He was just wondering to himself if the unexpected good fortune had turned young Ci.lewood's head, when his visitor remarked"Von aie aware of that one peculiai featuic m my late aunt s will, Mr. Cranston (" Light at once dawned upon the lawyer and there was a twinkle in his ,?yes.

"U'? cU*> moui cAnsperatlni; part," Hugh cried desperately, "lion* can a fellow love ami wed to order 1" "Well, it's a deal of time and bother saved to the wooer," remarked the law yer, pulling. "I have uo doubt Kthel Wayne will suit you better than any selection you are capable of making." Hugh Colewood Mushed warmly at the lawyer's cool observation and lie spoki hotly. "I'm sure she won't suit me,sir. The estate can go to charity for all I care. I don't love any woman and I love my tree ilnin too well to marry yet awhile. I don't want to he thrust on any woman lor tin- -iL#> ..r .. ' * ..... ... n it.11 ii'fi l suppose Mi-s Wayne caret two straws about tin- absurd ? omlitions in my aunt's will." "It i- very likely, although lCthel had the greatest respect for the late Mi->s Colcw ood, sun I was very careful to humor til her vanities," rctuitiel Cranston, much amused over young Colcwood's ex i itcnumt. "However, I hardly feel able to state whether the girl would accept Miss Cole wood's last ore,at vagary in the shape of her impulsive nephew or not." "I shall not give her the opportunity," <aid Hugh, nettled at the lawyer's word*. "Hold on, Colewooil. bet's drop nonsense and roinc to business. You ' ike your aunt's estates, but you cannot i eta in them without coinplyiug with hci wishes. You luve never met the girl whom your aunt has chosen. Perhaps it w ill be prove I that you are neithet ol \uu opposed to fulfilling the condition. "At least, you must meet. 1 will m range that. Ktliel will pass the summ.a with my sister in the country, and I'll manage it foi you to spend a few weeks with them. You can very soon tcli whether the condition is wholly obnoxious or not. What do you say?" "I will do as you alvise: thank you, sir," replied Hugh, who had now conic 1 oil and was trvini? to take ? hnalnmi, i view jf the t-trange situation.

"Tlutnk you; I've no doubt I shall finit pleasant," returned Hugh. "You,too are one of Mrs. Thurston's sumoici household, I suppose?" "Yes," with a smile. "You see I an a distant relative to Mrs. Thurston; then Miss Wayne is my cousin and exercises a kind of cousinly guardianship ovei me, which no doubt is very necessary.' "So you are Miss Wayne's cousin? do not remember hearing Mr. Cranston mention you. 1 did not expect to have the pleasure of meeting any ladies bu Mrs. Thurston and Miss Wayne."
