Falkland, tba max who bad oome to

wbo had been bis since they bodb wore

“The Voodoo Doctor.’*
“Its all no use, I can see,’’ said Bob
Morgan, stepping back from tho sketch
lie had just made of a pretty bit of
scenery. “If 1 finish it, and take it to
Staunton, lie’ll only laugh. I am not
out out for an artist; noither con I get
even bread and cheese, let alone an
income to marry on, out of literature.
I’m sore that was a capital tale 1 sent
to the editor of 2Ae Snouflukt. last
week, and he just sent it bank with the
old insult, that I’ve got so used to,
declined with thanks.” I really don’t
know what 1 can torn to, brought up
to nothing, and expecting a fortune;
it’s hard enough for fellows to make a
position who have studied from boy
hood, with everything in their favor.
I mast cither enlist or emigrate; but
there, I’llgaand talk to my pretty
Mabel, 'rtijmk Heaven. I can still see
her bright face occasionally.”
A few minntes later, Bob Morgan
was sitting on tho trunk of an old tree,
on the outskirts of tho wood, with his
arm around the waist of a fair, pretty
girl, his betrothed wife, whom he was
now obliged to meet secretly. In conse
quence of his loss of fortune.
Bhe did not look mirthfnl herself to
night; her eyes were heavy with tears
recently shed, and her pretty mouth
was even now quivering with partially
resaed grief.
Vhy, my darting little May,” Bob
was saying. “What is the matter? The
sight of your bright face clouded makes
me feel as if all the world were wrap-
{ >ed in gloom, this fair summer even-
ng.”
“Oh, dear Bob, I am so nnhappy.
You remember me telling you that Mr.
Falkland, an old friend of papa’s, had
come to stay with us on a visit? Well,
it is too dreadfnl, Bob; mamma says
he wants to marry me, and that if I do
not say yes when he asks me, we shall
all be ruined.”
“To marry you, Mabel!” exclaimed
Bob indignantly. “The old fright, how
dare he? Why, didn’t you tell me he
was eighty?”
•Ob, no. Bob, but he is over sixty,
and that’s <tuit« as old, I think,” — ,J
Mabel illngioally.
w*m 4ftm TOUf' msther
about being Mined?” asked BoU
“Oh. I dont quite understand it,”
answered Mabel thoughtfully. “Some-
tlinlg a bo in a mortgage, which papa
let him have.”
“Well, mortgage or ruin, or what
ever else happens, Mabel, don’t let
them frighten you into marrying your
f 'randfather. We will run away, aud
ive on my poor fifty pounds a year,
first,” waid Bob stoutly; and then fol
lowed much loving talk, and many
castles in the air, for Bob’s presence
seemed to bring back all Mabel’s light
heartedness.
But when she had left him, and
returned to his home alone, all
fears and anxieties ho had shaken
returned with ten-fold force.
“1 kuow what you are capable
my good Mrs. Walton,” he sdluoqulBed;
apostrophising his mother-in-law elect.
“It's quite possible that the mortgage
story is all made up. to try and fright
en my poor little girl into the Idea that
she is making a noble sacrifice of her
self, for the benefit of the others. And
I suppose that horrible old fellow fol
lows her about, and grins at her, and
forces hie odious presence on her, when
he ought to be thinking of the grave,
the old villain. He’s snre to be a Coarse
old brute, for all his money was made
In trade.” Bob felt all the contempt
for such a sordid manner of nmassli
wealth that the son of an over-work
avum said oM wwrd
that Mabel wss not fr
by him.
Now desperations made him "screw
his courage to the sticking point,” and
with a very red face and faltering voice,
he said:
“Sir, I have n idbst—that is, I want
to say—I wonld speak to you in pri
vate, if you please.”
“Yes,” answered Mr. Falkland, look
ing surprised but• quite unconscious. .
•T shall bo most buppy to hear any i i.An*!? 8 ,

but, as I cannot write yon to Walton
Lodge, being only % visitor there, and
as there is no one hero except the birds
and squirrels to overhear oar conversa
tion. perhaps we CAn talk now." ^
“Yes, certainly; T came on pur-
poso’” stammered. Bob, growing more
and more nervous: “I want to tell you
—that is, yon must please
that I—you—you—in fact, you can’t
marry Mabel Walton, and what’s more.
said
you sha’u’t!”
Bob’s sudden and defiant conclu
sion arose more from rage at his un
fortunate loss of wards, than from any
other cause.
“Sir!” said Mr. Falkland, looking at
him with displeasure mixed with slight
alarm as if he had been an escaped
lunatic. “Will you kindly cxplaiu
yourself P”
“There Is nothing to explain, sir; I
mly wish you to accept tho fact,” said
Bob, now thoroughly exasperated by
be other’s coolness. “I was engaged to
Mabel Walton, with the full consent of
both parents, wlieu I was heir to my
uncleA fortune. But he, enraged be
cause I wouldjiot .mm- his Adopted
daughter, left her his fortune and me
only fifty pounds per annum. Then
Mrs. Walton told mo Mabol should
not marry a pauper/ and so broke off
our engagement, though It was for
Mabel’s sake that Host my fortune.”
“Well, sir, said Mr. Falkland, as Bob
paused for broatb, fin that case tho
young lady is free to accept another of
fer. ’ ’
“Not at all, sir, Xot at all!” Bob al
most roared. “I said her mother broke
it off; but Mabol sill loves mo, and will

With ths advance of education among

that I had sixty-five different toilets
while at the resort; that I drove five
blooded horses upon the Conoonrte,
and that my diamonds wtrald fill a
