A DOUBTFUL M&ftRlAGE* "So the Colonel s daughter has come, rind is, they say, stunning." "Trast you to find out a pretty girl, Vivian," taught cl a brother soldier. "Now, I've soon lier, and don't agree with yon. She's too wdiite and lacka? daisical for stnnuing to express. Stunning, as I take it, means a jolly, larky, don't-care sort of a girl, who'll dance you down in tin* fkux temps, ride you down in the hunting field, end box your ears if yon atv imperti? nent." "That's the sort of girl vor? culti? vate in Yorkshire," said a handsome, light-haired man, whose half-closed eyes and down drooping moustache were quite in character with his lan? guid drawl, and loose, lazy niotiou of Lis limbs. "When we were quar teredin York, I was nearly married by one of your stunuiug girls, and only escaped by running away with n girl from a boarding school. Fact, I assure you. She and I struck up an acquaintance at a Christian propaga? tion meeting. "What the deuce ure you fellows laughing at? They have meetings very often ia York-? lot ol' parsons talk, and a lot of old women and boarding-schools come to listen. I went for a lark ii nd got sold. Th girl was lovely. She-By Jove ! who's that?" He was sitting by the open window, and past ir ?1 party were riding. "Beatrice Meyneli!" said Viviau; "the very girl we've been talking ol'.' "By Jove!" repeated the fair man, a crimson tide 01 col >r : ashing to Iii - face. The other st ired "Well, what's np, Carter? Going to have a tit cf apoplexy, or strack with love ut first sight?" Eut Carter did nut seem t.. si e tin joke. Ho neither answered nor laughed. The flash pa:>s d away again, leaving him pale risa ghost, and, rising, he stammered: "I'm out of v.oi L-; that champagne Croft gave U3 poisoned mo. I'll turn in to the rne>o and get some brandy. Ko, no, Topham, stay there. 1 am all right; only shaky." And waving Mr. Topham baek, he walked oil", leaving the men he had beeu talking to looking after him gloomily enough, for in an Indian climate death doo. :i man liko his shadow; and any nau? mai signs hoisted by Dame Nature are apt to beget a proportionate amount of apprehension. "He lives too bard," said Topham. "Poor fellow! No mau could last at tb.9 pace. He'd much better go in for leave and cut this beastly CJIIU try, or it'll give him what it lias given many a good fellow-six foot of lan 1 ed property." "Nonsense! he's as strong rt: yon aro. Take a couple of pipes on' hun. and he'd be as steady as a judge. 1 don't kno'.v what voa fellows uv going to do; I'll go and leave rt c urd at the Chie;'s." The others laughed; and .Mi. Top ham, putting his aria through Vi? vian's, said: "All right; a fair start aud no i i vor. Come along, old boy. She sit: her kerie like a brick, in ?-pit o: he: die-away face." There was a poor gathering tba evening at mess. A dinner nt th< Colonel's thinned their ranks, am Carter was reported to be ailing, som ono added. "... touch of fever, which turned out to be the case, fo the Doctor, being called away, cum back in half au hoar, and, with Srave face, announced tho Adjutuu soidedly ill, and just iu a way thc might become dangerous, or eve . ! 1 woree, at a^ry- rnornent. . <3arte? was -a popular ?nan; and ii -gloom settled down ujjoh Arose 3*bo heard-the sn? news, -two or tUi.ee going to the door of his quarters wirti" the Doctor, and j waiting- -there for another report. I 'This,'unhappily;was -worse. Deli- ? ? riiun had come on ; th? poor fellow j i was raving, and death was "fighting j j for lils prey. I " j "Run ovec and oak the Colonel to I come and take charge of his papers," I whispered tho Doctor to one ol the ? men; "ho won't last six hours." j The Colonel came find sealed up ; some letters lying about, placed them in a desk, tho key of which he put in his pocket. 'Ts there no hope, Doctor?" he ? asked, looking at Carter, Who was lying, muttering incessantly, shud? dering, and clutching with his bauds. "1 never say that, sir," said Dr. i Lewis; 'but. I am afraid to hope herc." "Poor young fellow." and the Co ; lon?l laid his hand on the sick man's i barning forehead. "A fiue, young, f soldier-like man, too; only one who ' knew his work. A more infernal set ' nf bunglers I never came across. Poor lad, poor lad!" The Colonel took his departure; but in crossing tho compound bethought liiui that these same bunglers might not know tho funeral service; so, stopping a soldier, he sent bim for the sargeant on duty, aud ordered the men to bo told off for funeral parade. The man hesitated. "Well, what is it?" asked the Colo? nel, impatiently. "Don't they know the:r work?" "Well, sir, I am afraid" "Daran your afraid," growled his commanding office:\ "Call them out now and parade them, drums and fifes, too. By Tove! I'll teach them to know their duty before I've done reith them," and the Colonel walked home and turned iu, pretty consider? ably "riled," as our Yankee friends would say. Meantime, the fever had worn it? self ont; and thc sick mau was lying prostrate, exhausted, and with a wea!:, flat tol ing pulse, just tottering upon the brink of that bourne from which no traveler returns. The pight v as like most nights in the hot season, intensely still, the sulky growl of a Pariah ?log now and then only breaking the silence. The Doc? tor had taken oft"his coat, and opened every available aperture to let in ?ir; thc punkas were moving steadily, but noiselessly, and Carter lay Stretched on his back. Iiis i';tee pallid and drawn, his eyes closed, and no sound of life issuing from his parched lips. Sud? denly, shrill and inexpressibly sad. tilt- notes of tiie funeral march rang ont on the still air, rising, falling, note by note, in solemn measure. For aw li ile. no change came over Carter's face, no sympton that the sound reached his ears; and, after watching for a few seconds, the Doc? tor drow back, fully impressed witb the conviction that death was there at la-st, and lie was turning away, when a bright idea struck him. If he could only excitethe '-inking pulse, and in? duce nature to exert herself, she might yet have a tussle with death, so, going up to the bed. he said, cheerily : "D'ye hear r:.. music. Carter, old boy?" Carter's eyes opened, but with such a weal , perplexed look in them that the Doctor, thinking delirium was returning, half regretted his experi? ment ; still, he wr..-; in for it. atol wont boldly on: "It's yortr funeral they're parading for, Dick; sure, if yon don't make au effort, they'll bury yon in spiio of mo. The Colonel was hero just now and to"!v leave oi you. Indeed, now, yon must rouse up ;.nd turn the tables >.>:i the old fool; ho's given us check enough since he joined." The expression ou the- sick man's face chang! I, a faint smile quivered act . hi . lip5, follow.ni by n look of inexpressible relief. "I thought it wns all over." he whispered, almost inaudibly, "but we'll cheat them yet." And s ire enough ho did. "What hour did the Adjutant go 0 IV? ' asked the Colonel, in a subdued voice, o \ Lvian sauntered hi to early tea. "Ho began to mend at midnight, sir, and wa* bitting np, walking into cold chicken and sherry, when I left linn, ten minutes f inco. It's not often a niau can sav he's listened to his own funeral ? iratlo " Then there was plenty of laughing, and the Colonel was the only one who did not relish the joke, and heartily giad was he v.'nen Caver applied for leave tj England, sending up his r?? quisition with a strong recommenda? tion; for h-j hoped that, by thus get? ting rid of tho principal actor, he might banish th.? Rtory from men's mouths. Co ter never showed his face out of quarters until he got into his palau quia, to be conveyed awav "on fur? lough " "You ve left us without a sight of tlie beauty. saul Vivian, who, ac? cording to his vont, had been going through the various phases of love lever, and ln;d just then reached its zenith. She's perfect, and quite in terested in you. ' "The devil she is!" gasped Carter, "Bearer, go on Good-bye, old fel? lows; God bless you all. You won't cut^h mc among" jungles aud jon pons again in n, hurry. Hurrah for oh! England' May wo all meet thew : soon." 1 "Good-bye; good luck to you: ant" th reo cheers Jot old England; God bless her r ctied-severat Toices. So. with kind words, ringi r g cheers, and rn? small amount bf euty, Dick Carter turned his 'face away " from Meernt, devoutly hoping ho might never hear more ofnis life there than pleasant. These waa a dinner party at tho Resident Magistrate's that night, and of coarse the Colonel and bia daugh? ter were there, the latter the centre of attraction. Vivian, who had, ac? cording to his own mind, been mak? ing some progress with the pale, quiet beauty, waa thrown into despair-a brother of the Judge's wife, a certain Major Hervey, had just returned to India after a long leave, and had taken Meerut on his way to the head? quarters of his regiment.' Hervey was one of those modern Crichtons one meets with -now and then, per? fect, or as nearly perfect as human nature can be, in everything he un? dertook. A hero in the servico, irre? sistible, so gossip affirmed, in the drawing-room, a dead shot in the jungle, well read and accomplished, good-looking and rich. What would you have more? With all these things, ono might conclude Hervey's a happy lot, but there is no life with? out its alloy. Hervey had been touched in the most vulnerable point ; he had married, but the marriage had been unfortunate, and after three years' separation, he had gone home just in time to stand by the unhappy woman's death-bed, and forgive her the wrong she had done him. One child only she left, and this boy he had brought out to India to share his sister's nursery. When Beatrice Meyneli reached the station, Mrs. Masters at once set? tled that she was the very wife for h cr brother, and never rested until she had secured the girl's friendship, in? teresting her as much as possible in her brother, by telling, with all a sis? ter's prejudice, the sad story of his marriage. Indian society is much more of a family sort than English, and the most private affairs soon leak out; so it was weil known in the station that Beatrice was booked for Major Her? vey. Much speculation was afloat, and when they met in the Judge's drawing-room, many eyes watched them with no small amount of envy. "Do you like India, Miss Mey? neli ?" asked Hervey, when, the in? troduction leaving been mad?-, he took a vacant chair by her side. "Not yet," was the answer; and the sad eves rose to meet his, with a world of feeling lying hid in their brown depths, feeling totally separate and unconnected with the words that were spoken almost mechanically. Eyes that were full of unshed tears, and hid themselves away under theil long thick veil of lasher, as if afraid lest they might betray some secret. They had a strange effect upon Her? vey as he looked back into them, and he scarcely hoard tho common-place answer the lips gave to his common? place question. "Not yet, but I mav do so. lt is so different, and T led stich a quiet, lonely life in England." "Do you ride?"' "Oh, yes?t is the only thing I cari for;" and there came a faint flush over her face. "But I do not think riding along what you call the Mal worth mounting for." "Yon like going across country, perhaps?" The Major looked at tho slendci wrists, and wondered what powei they could exercise over a bridle. Ai he looked, he was conscious that t deep crimson rushed over the girl's face, and that her eyes fixed them selves upon him with an expressioi of intense fear. Ho was intefestec and perplexed- -he scarcely knev whether agreeably <u- not- and it tho midst of his agitation, she asked "Are you fond of limiting. Majo: Hervey?" "Very; it is ono of the many hard ships of soldiering out here, that wt have no such glorious sport." "Have von ever hunted in York shire?" "Xo; I do not know Yorkshire a all. Gloucester is my County, a ni the Duke s hounds saw my training But if you don't like the Mall, wh don't yon ride early, and have a gal lop into the country?" "So 1 do, when papa will go." And the Colonel, coming up at t ii i juncture, said: "I wish you'd do duty for me, Her vey; riding at her pace don't snit nv old bones." "I shall be delighted, if Miss Mey nell will accept my escort." Beatrice bowed. Vivian, who wa looking on, swore she blushed, am went off to the other end of the root' to oller Capt. Batchelor ten to tw that Hervey married Beatrice in month.' By which, it will be see that. Mr. Vivian's matrimonial hope being on tho decline, he \va3 willin to make a compromise with his bean and, if ho could not win a wife, . least win something. The dinner-party, on the whoh was a success. Beatrice had talke moro than usual, and Hervey ha scarcely left ber side all the eveninf so that there wau somo excuse fe Mrs. Master's triumph. When si: and her brother were alone, si asked "How do you like beatrice. Cnn ley?" "I don't know." "Don't know!" abe exelaiinei ' 'Why, you flirted with her all nigh You surely can tell mo if you lil her?" "She is a very peculiar girl," 1 onaw*?i-ed, dreamily. "Surely you think her pretty? ' Oh ! yes-more-beautiful, I think; -what is her.story?-' "Story!" laughed Mrs. Masters, "story, sir; God bless you? I've none to tell; what, story, can a girl of eight? een, never ont of a sohool-rooru, have? What s tr auge fancies j on men take!" "Maybe," replied Hervey, dryly; "but that does not s alter the case. Mies Meyneli has a story, anda pain? ful one, too." "How absurd you are, Charley ! Now, here have I been moving hea? ven and earth to bring you and Bea? trice together; and, directly you meet, you take it into your head that she has done something dreadful " "I did not say so, Mary." "Well, then, suffered something?" "Not that, cither; you see yon think with me, for* you've hit upon the very idea that came into my head, when I looked into those marvellous eyes of hers-you've given form to my very thoughts. Don't be vexed, dear; I am nuzzled by her. I like her; and. what's more, I'll either fall madly in love with her, or else l il -. But never mind, now; good night; don't tell your good man what I've said-two hoads are enough. I'll know, in forty-eight hours, which way the stream will run, and. it I say I am going, youd know how I feel. If I stuv. I'll trust to yon to help me." With which arrangement Mrs. Masters was fain to be content. Ir, two days, her brother came to her. "Marv, will von put me nj) for a month?'"' "Of course 1 will. Oh! 1 am so glad; I've hardly dared to move, in case I bothered you or came in your way. ?ind so it's all right, and B?a? trice will have you?" Hervey smiled. "I've not asked her, yet: but 1 11 have her if I can get her. " "Story and all? said Mrs. Mas tern, mischievously. A dark frown, followed by a look of pain, eameovei Hervey's face. 'Don't say that again, Mary. 01 hint at such a thing I was a fool tc say it to you; a fool to let such ab surd suspicions enter my head: am I'd be worse than a fool, if I sufferer any such childish fancy to come be tween me and such an angel as she is." But, in spite of .Major Hervey's as sertions, he did think of his first im pression; and, in very dread lest h* should l?r- tempted to give way in an;, greater degree to what he told him self was ern el and unwarrantable prejudice, he strenuously avoide< any reference ;.'> her life in England. In spite of the approval of t!:< Colonel and Beatrice's aunt, the Ma jor% wooing made I mt slow progress Beatrice was inexplicable. Even now and then she would brigit ten up and Hervey, fora brief hour or two woidd think himself in the ante chamber of Paradise itself; then : change would come, and she wonk shrink back, a^ it nf mid of trusting herself or her happiness. Again um again she refused to marry him, am again and again, growing desperate, ho begged her to tell him her reason until, worn out by his passion am the expostulations of lier lather am anni, she at length consented to 1'. come his wife. Anxious to toase Beatrice, Herve; had exerted himself to make the wed ding a gala day for the station; b had consulted ber iu all his orrang? men ts and plans, and only seemed lt live to give her pleasure and homage but still there was th. old sad, fright ened look, and sometimes, even, h fancied it grew more intense; s< that, bright and joyous as the wed ding da\ was (?> others, many won dering looks \v? re ea. i upon tin pale mourn fa! brid.- - looks whick coull not escape Hervey's notice, au< roused a feeling almost approaohin to litige:- again.-i her he ii: t won i. spite, of herself. The mail cain' in .i^ the wedding parts were assembled at breakfast and, bringing three oi four letters t Beatrice, her aunt laughingly adv i her to H ad them before leaving, a she had uo right to call hersel "miss" when sin-started life os a mai ried woman.
