Any ono acquainted with New York genealogy will appreciate Reginald Van Swellutn'b thoughts and his position. There is no oldor nor prouder family on all Manhattan Island than the Van Sweliumc. Three of the name were members of the Governor's Council in the early days of New Amsterdam. They had possessed many no cabbage patches on the outskirts of tho settlement which siill remain in the blood of the family. Twenty-story buildings rear their ugly bends where once the good Van Swellums dug, hoed and weeded when not busy with the affairs of State. Reginald Van Sweilutu was not the brainiest of his line, a fact of which he was perfectly aware. In conseau* nco of this knowledge he wisely refrained from entering auy business or profession, not wishing to imperil tLo fruits of his ancestors' industry. He was not energetic, and not being energetic, ciltl not care lor society. It bored him. It wus easier to read about it, comfortably 6otiled in an easy chair before a bright, cosy fire, with a pipe in his moutu. His mother was a widow, who lived u quiet life botween her old house cn lower Filth avenuo and her comfortable placo up tho Hudson. To have her son safely and properly settled was her ?ole carc. She had chosen for him \ngclica Billions. To bo sure, Miss Billiours's family on her father's side was not all that could bo desired, but then there was money, and that covers a multitude of sins. Tho only drawback to tho match was Reginald. But doubtless lis, too, would have fenccumbed if it had not been for the clumsy Italian on tho elevated train who discovered to him a moro charming prospect in life. Van Swellum's sensibilities were Bhocked by his ideal's connection with the Ruination Dyeing Company. He felt that his blood called upon him to forget, and lor tho next few weeks ho busied bmi'seU witn tuo worK n iuigetting as bo bad never busied hinself at anything before. He would tlx hi* favorito armchair before the fireplace, iii which the logs crackled right merrily, ami with a pipo io his month would endeavor to loso himself in some stirring nov?d. By and by the book falls fhini his hand aud he is gazing absently into the cloud of gray smoke curling up from the bowl. What is that in the depths of the thick whirling cloud ? A blue curtain. VanSwellum leans forward and gazes intently. Black letters are forming there. Now they stand out clearly and boldly?A Fatal Love.

"I wish you could, iny dear man; bnt you can't." A few minutes late ho was hurrying along Sixth avenue. Ho camo to a halt in front of tho shop and looked in. Slio was behind tho desk. Ho hesitated a moment; then entered resolutely and throw his bag upon the counter. She hurried to wnitonhiiu, and, as their oyes net, started. She recognized him and blushed. Van Swcllum blushed, too, to the roots of his hair. It had just'occurrod to him that she would remember hiui. She recovered herself anil said pleasantly: ' What can we do lor you?" Ho silently fumbled the bag and finally succeeded in oneniug it. "i want 'em dyeel," ho stammered. " What color ?" she asked, drawing i pencil from behind her oar and preparing to make a note. "Well? or?hanged if I know. What's n good color?" Tho thin littlo young man with a crooked nose who had boon moving some cares about tho store stopped his work and grinned at liirn.
