There lived, in three • villus perched to gether npon a certaiu hill considered aristo. cratic and exclusively by the B—itia. three cousin*, each nn only daughter, and each named alike, Grace Grey; otherwise they were as unlike each ether as young women could be—different in face, form thought, and feeling, and yet fast friends as any sis ters. The three families were moderately rich, and immoderately proud of the ‘-good old blood" in their veins. A’cry few stran gers attained to any great amount of intima cy, and it was spitefully remarked by other damsels that neither of the three Graces ever had a beau! This was certainly true; but j ft»r all that they beauties—beauties without j doubt. The similarity of names came from | the fact that Grandmamma Grey had rc- tiuested each of her sons to name his fir.-t . . , „ . • r • Card.ffmight have set voung hearts to girl “after her; and the inconvenience ot _ n . . . .7 bachelor or widower, be certainly had no woman kind to care for him; aud this fact, an 1 the empty sleeve, aud the beautiful smile and soft dark eyes of the stranger quite melted the soft heart that beat within Ray’s bosom. She ea’led him .poor fellow, in a sort of tender whisper; when Ray, with sparkling eyes, cha ted of his step, and his hair; and his beautiful moustache; and Grace wi bed that she dared to ask him to toil hei stories of the battles he had fonght through—those fearful battles of which they had read so much—the battles of the Cri mean war; for the colonel was an Png is - man and at the date of our story the war of the Crime;, was but just over, and half Eng land wore mourning for brave men who had east their lives away; for the boys who had been torn from their home and native land to perish miserably in those far away hospi tals. or mure happily to die upon the bloody held. War was something stranger to American cars then than now, and wounded soldiers were rarer, and had a romance about them; [ —there, it s true—the man 1 /ove is in ques- ti >n. I mean to nsi) him to spend tha even ing with me, and you must come, Ray.” “I’d rather not,” said Ray: “Ah, you side with Racy,” Grice. “No,” said Ray, “you are both very dear to me, as dear as sisters could be. I wish—” “You need not quarrel with Raej-,” said Grace. “You are neutral. You shall remain so; but come tonight.” And Ray went, and again the Colonel walked with her across the gardens, and talked soft ly and bent his head low, ami parted linger ingly at the door, as those part who are loth to break the pleasant flower chain of bright hours spent together. Money breaksinasculine friendship. One young man may easily turn two girl friends into deadly enemies. This handsome Colo nel had in ten months divided a friendship of twenty years, for Grace and Racy had taken their first steps to meet each other, and had sheared their sugar-plums before they could talk. They had been very, very fund ofe eh other. Now it was almost hate that thought that,” said Ray. ‘Certainly, ifl loved, it would not be so.

He was a brave man a high bred ene, and nut poor, a very pleas ant friend, and as such, he was adopted uni versally. Grace had her hearts content of tales of battle.

Then Ray saw that she wore a new dress of blue silk, and her filagree of silver ornaments: and that, a general air of preparation hovered about her. “What is going to happen ?” she asked, with a smile. “Oh, nothing,” said R.-.cy. “I want you to spend the evening with me. The Colonel will be there. I—I’m not going to ask Grace.’ •Not going to ask Grace? ’ cried Ray. “No,” said Racy, pouting. “I'll tell you a year before she could not have dreamed her self capable Nor was cither content. The Colonel told his adventures, to Grace, and flirted merrily with Racy. He sang duetts tirely fur outward seeming?
