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. Hut Beatrice thru
thera into her pocket, saying sh

And, in about two hours, the pr<

they then started for ? bungalo

and she had almost forgotten what it j
meant, until tim superscription on |

At last she broke the seal. There j
