Teecie Avus too simple not to show that she felt the change in herself* felt ; it keenly, with a strange delight j ane r. strange shyness. Nurse had j so long' boen accustomed to use i her as a child, that she stood be- ? wildered. As for me, I was first 1 frightened at what I had done, i then enchanted, then foolishly j awkward, and almost as shy as | Teecie herself. When I presented the crutches, '. Nurse looked at mc as though I j must be some prince in disguise, ; out of the Arabian Nights. It was ! with a curious feeling that I saw i Teecie try then\. not limping now, j rather gliding over the nursery j floor, with the little velvet cushions j hidden away amidst the clouds of \ lace and muslin under her roxind ; white shoulders, and thc airy j masses of the fresh tinted gown just crushed back a little by the j gleaming silver staves. I don't ; know why it was that I thought ot that moment, with a certain ! rapture, of a guinea in a little bon? bon box, that lay below in thc one shabby portmanteau which I had thought proper to bring with me to Rutland Hall Our equipage awaited us. It A as too late to withdraw fi om what ] had undertaken. Teecie and I were soon dashing over the snowy roads to Lady Thornton's. I will not attempt to describe the remain? der of that memorable evening, or the sensation caused by our. arrival ; the wonder and mortification of my kind relations; or the mingled pleasure and displeasure of the hostess, who, while delighted to see her little favorite, took occasion to whisper angrily in my ear, "And pray, sir, how is all this to end?" The scene was all new and de? lightful to Teecie, but her dread of Mrs. Rutlans portentous frown would not let her enjoy it. We both felt that a storm would burst over our heads that night, and wc were not wrong. None of the iamily from Rutland Hall took the least notice of us. When the time came for going home, they went off "in their two carriages, and Teecie and I drove home as we had come. When wc; arrived, we found Cousin George and his wife waiting for us in the library, armed to the teeth. I saw it was to be war and no quarter. Mrs. Rutland took Teecie into her clutches, and carried her off, and I was left with George. I need not repeat all that passed between us. "Sir," he said, "we have suffer? ed your insolent intrusion long enough. You leave this house to? morrow morning." "Cousin George," I said, "don't put yourself in a passion. I wil go to-morrow morning, but upon one condition-that Toccie Ray may come with me, if she will." He looked at me perfectly aghast. "Do you know," he said, "that she is a penniless, friendless orphan, whom I have sheltered ' through charity?" 'T want to make her my wife," I said, sternly, "if, indeed, I be so fortunate as to have vron her af? fections." "And, after that," he said, with a sneer, "how do you propose to live? Upon air, or your friends?" "25 >t upon you. George Rut? land," I said, looking him steadi? ly in the eyes. "Mark me, I have tried you out. I have sifted you, :dl in this house, like a handful cf wheat. I found you all chaff, but the one golden grain which hes on my palm. I will keep ii and treasure it, if I may. God grant I may!" "Very fine," said George, "uerj fine. Remember, however, thal from this moment I wash" 1113 hands of you both; you, Guy Rut land, and her, Teecie Ray." "Amen!" I said, and bade bin good night, and turned on un heel and left him. Early the next morning, '. knocked at the nursery door, ane begged of Nurse to awaken Mis: Teecie, and ask her to speak witl me in the garden. I then wen out to wait for her. It was Christ mas morning, the day of peac< and good will. What I felt wai scarcely peace, as I looked ove thc calm landscape. And yet '. boro no ill will to any man o woman. Teecie came to me by-and-by just the same old Teecie, limpin? over thc frosty path in her shor shabby frock, and looking hal ashamed of her grand new crutches I felt relieved when I saw bor so. I was shy of the dainty lady whom I had called into existence thc j nihill before. And yet when I j looked moro closely, I knew that this was not quite the old Teecie, and thnt the very sanie Teecie of a day ago never, never, could come bark. Something was altered. Whether the change was in her or me, or in both of ns. I did not. in? quire. The change "was not an unpleasant one. ~\\~c, strolled out of the garden, and into the lane, and we talked earnestly all the way. On our way back, I said: "And you're nov. afraid of starv? ing with mo, Teecie? You'll take the risk?" One of her old nods wasTeecie's answer. "Go and fetch your hat, them" said I, "und we won't even wait for breakfast. Don't bring ' any? thing else with you, not a shred. I have still some halfpence left out of the guinea, you know-and we'll get all we want." Teecie fetched her hat and re? turned, and we set off together. An hour afterwards we wore man and wife. Wc said our prayers side by side in tho church, and then we walked back to Rutland .Hall, to say good-by to our kins? folk. I believe they all thought me mad, and her a little fool-at least until Cousin George received the check, which I sent him next day; a check to cover the expenses incurred by him through his cha? rity to Teecie Ray. Then they began to wonder and to waver. I took my wifc ab" oad, and showed her tlie world. Time and care cured lier of lier lameness. It was not surprising that on her return to England her kinsfolk should scarcely recognize her-Teecie Rutland, nee Ray-walking with? out crutches, and the wife of a millionaire! Half a bride cake conciliated Lady Thornton, and the wonderful guinea is still in my possession; I call it Teecie's dower. The crutches, the donor of which, I beg to assure you, was not Sir Harry, arc also preserved as family curiosities. By his Excellency JAMES L.
