THE PRESERVE CLOSET* "Upon my word, this is the coolest proceeding I ever knew." Colonel Templar sat in his bachelor sanotum, where- the rays of an April sunshine shono in lines of glittering gold among the Neapolitan violets in the window, and drove tho little oanary half wild with silver-voiced delight-a sftnotum crowded with miscellaneous confusion of meer ehaums in different stages of color,, dressing-gown, cigar boxes, newspa? pers, and gorgeous velvet slip] ?ers he contracted his brows moodily over a letter whose pink paper and deli? cate scent of foreign perfume be? tokened a troublesome correspond? ent. * 'DEAR SYDNEY :" Yes, I'm always "dear" when Bertha wants a disa greable commission executed-what hypocrites women are, to bo sure "an eligible house somewhere in some nice locality, it surely can bo no trouble to engage one for ns." No trouble, quotha! that's justa woman's random idea! No trouble to rush from pillar to post house hunting. Whero's tho indemnity of bachelor? hood, I'd like to know? I might as well be a married man in good ear? nest, if I am to to be saddled with all the responsibility of the thing. I'll write to Bertha at once, and tell her. Colonel Templar gave his jet black moustache a savage jerk, and pulled his writing desk resolutely forward. Then a softer mood seemed to dawn athwart his mind-he hesitated, biting the handle of his pen medi? tatively. "Poor little Bertha-she always was my pet cousin, and I suppose it is rather inconvenient for her to come all the way here to look for a house, and her husband will be in India till the middle of May, and-well, the upshot of the whole matter is that I'm uoomed to victimize myself, and the sooner it is over the better. Heigho! where's the newspaper? I'll just look over the 'To Lets' first, and then I'll go to the es tat o agen? cies." The sun was peeping from behind masses of flying clouds, like a sly beauty who alternately smiles and hides her face-the air was full of faint odors, even in this brick-and mortar wilderness, when Colonel ?Syd? ney Templar sallied bravely forth, armed and equipped with various references, directions, and addresses, to engage in the momentous business of house-hunting. He was not a handsome man, yet you would have turned involuntarily to look after him, as he sauntered by, attracted by tho deep, smothered fire of his dark eyes, and tho firm outline of his lips. No, Colonel Templar was not handsome, but he was what thc ladies term "interesting." Moreover, he carried an empty sleevo where the left arm should have been-an ever? lasting memorial of tho red buttle clouds. "It seems comical enough for me to go house-hunting," mused Tem? plar, as ho strode onward through tho dusty streets. "Forme, the soli? tary, homeless recluse of one-and thirty years old. Four years ago, things appeared differently to mc four years ago, I might have dreamed of a homo of my own with Marion Caryl's blight eyes to light up its hearth-stone. Ah mc! this is a world of change. A careless word, a little misunderstanding, and here I am a crippled old soldier, whilo Marion is probably the sunshine of somo other man's life. Hold on, I am getting maudlin and romantic; eh, Sydney Templar. This will never "do, old fellow." Tho Colonel gave his heavy black locks a backward toss, as if impatient at his own folly, and vigorously di? rected his attention to tho list of eligible residences in his pocket? book. "No. 41-street; hero's the very place. Wants painting badly on the outside, but may present a moro pro? mising appearance within. At all events, we'll try. He rang the bell, and a brief skirm? ishing of servants in the hall, a faded lady in dyed silk, and hair in crimp ing-pins, appeared. "Is this the house to let, madam?" inquired the Colonel deferentially. "Well, yes, it's to let, but you can't see it now." "Can't soo it now?** "No," snarled the lady, vindictive? ly; "hours are between two and four." "I'm quite euro the female in tho crimping pins is an old maid," de? cided "tho Colonel, mentally, "audi think she must have breakfasted off of broken glass and cambric needles. I wonder if the people at No. 171 -street will be any moro affable." A pretty blue-eyed woman, in a torn wrapper, and slippers down in tho heel, auswered the door-bell. "Can I see this house?" meekly questioned the Colonel. "Could yon call again in about au hour?" asked the blue-eyed one. "My husband is out, and we'vo been so troubled with thieves, and respect? able-looking agents who carred keys with 'em, that-" . "?h, I beg your pardon. Under the circumstances I will not intrude, " said Colonel Templar, with a comic elevation of his eye-brows. -"Per? haps, however, you will be good enough to observe that I leave the door-mat behind me quite safe." ?UONTTNUED Ei OUR NEXT.
