"Now Miss --" "Jones," 1 said shortly. " No, hot Jones, but the name will serve," and I felt his keen grey eyes on my fage, and observed an amused smile hovering round the corners_of his mouth which was half hidden by a a long, fair drooping moustache.

I bowed and sat down. He had got out his sealpal and was going to scarify me mercilessly, but as I had brought it on mysel', I felt I must heriocally endure it, though I glanced surrep- titicusly round the "den" in search of some means of escape. He "fixed me with his glittering eye," and I waited, wondering why I had been so mad and misguided as to enter an editorial office atall. Slowly, deliberately, with a sort of fiendish satisfaction, he smoothed out the crump'ed manuscript, glancing at me with amused interest. "Why do you write poetry, M's. Jones?' "I don't know ; because I Mke to, I suppose." "A}woman's reason-- therefore valid. But do you honestly and really think in necessary for people, even in poetry, and supposing they are very much in love with each other--which no one is imow-a-days-- is it necessary for them to be "'biiten" and "smitten," and that sors of thing 1" Is it really desirable in theinterest of common humanity for hearts to be "melted" and "smelted 1' and he placed his finger under certain stanza. "This sentiment, for instance, is simply ferocious." "Don't!" I cried angrily. Tts very cruel and unkind of you!

C.," 1 replied my face crimison.-- 'care of Mrs. Kent," He wrote it down and then stood toindicate that theinterview was over, bowed formaly and then toucheda little bell.' Buddenly a small boy appeared, who conducted me down dark break: neck stairs, through several 'moldy, | dusty, labyridthi and ou oppositatohim-- and let us talk this| bre no. Pamnie, through a bookseller's shop. 1 felt more thoroughly mean, miserable and disgusted than 1 had ever felt in my whole life as I emerged from the shady | by-street containing the office into the postman and a newspaper wrapper, it y une light and bustle of Piccadilly, and, as 1 got into the bus I vowed never again to come to a personal encounter with an editor. Hitherto I had been con- tent to drop my little contributions, into the letter box of certain weekly publications that delight in short short stories, or would send them by post and await the result with what patience I could. Sometimes my stories and verses were accepted, some- times not ; and I fancied that if an editor only knew how exceedingly in- dustrious I was, how very much in earnest, how devotedly attached to my calling--for I had marrisd the Muse of literature for better or worse --there was no choice between that and being a governess-- he would have a far better opinion of me and give me an 'important permanent position on his paper immediately. Then I had heard so much about the editor of the Arlington ; all the girls at the reading room of the British Museum were continually talking of him ; and in an evil hour, armed with my most elaborate poetical production, '| I made my way into the office and re- quested--and strange to say was granted (for London editors are difficult of access)--an interview. The result was pain, shame, confusion, discomfi- ture, and -- worst of all -- failure. Heaven and carth, how I hated that man as I sat in the most romote corner of the 'bus on my homeward journey --how I vowed to be revenged, and let him know some day whom he had sneered and jeered at! I would put him in a novel, in a comedy, in a burlesque. I would caricature him with pen and pencil, I would become famous merely to spite him, and refuse to write a serial for his hateful magazine--oh, the joy of that thought ! --1 believe I became almost. eloquent in my internal denounciations of him ; and, as an immediate, practical, disdain- ful defiance of him, I got out at Oxford street, and went into Mudie's for another copy of Swinburne. In one way or another the editor of the Arlington ; was a good deal in my thoughts during the next week, 'and the more I considered his conduct .the more I detested him ; my cheeks burned and my ears tingled as I recalled his '| low, mocking tones, and quite annvihi- lating glances. As for submitting story, essay, or article. to his tender mercies---never-!: A fortnight passed and Wh did not come back. ' My name was not Jones ; but I really did live with Mra. Brows in Kent strect; and I told her about itso I should have received it if it had been sent, Of courso he toss- ES and Oxford." = " Oh," I said, somewhat : surprised, * Of course not. How could you 1" «1 am noc Miss Meredith, %f Garth, any longer," I said, with an effort at proud composure . "Papa lost all his money and our house was sold ; then paps died, and Jeff was with his ship at the Cape, and Aunt Adelaide did not want me any longer ; so I came to London to Mrs Kent--she's my old nurse--and I earn.my bread by my pen." . : : I could not help. telling him all that he seemed to make me, in spite of my- self, but I uttered the last word proud- ly, and he did not smile at all, but looked very grave, "1 wonder, Miss Meredith, if you ever heard Jeff speak. of Harold Oash- elton 1" "Oh, yes, often !" and then I paused in some confusion. Mr. Harold Cash- elton had been my brother's "guide, philosopher, and friend;" and in 'one way and another I had heard more than enough of him all my life, though, through having no mother, I had never been at Garth, when Jeff's friend visited him. In fact, I had worshipped him secretly and afar of -- from Jeffs descriptions--and made him the here of morethan one romance, and now there he was, sitting in my easy chair and chattting to me as.if he had known me all my life--as, indeed, I suppose he had in a way, for Jeff surely must have mentioned we to him After asking all sorts of questions about my brother, he stood up to go, and desired me not to forget the story; but then, more than ever I resolved not to write it; as no doubt he would accept it from mere pity. Three months passed away, and I was on terms of almost civility with my hated editor; but I*had written no- thing for the Arlington--on that point I was obstinate, nor had I told Mr. Oashelton very much about myself or my own affairs beyond the first sudden burst of confidence which seemed in- evitable. What I wrote and how 1 succeed I never would talk about, in spite of several very insinuating ques. tions. Butabout Jeff I would talk for hours ; and he did not seem to weary of the subject. Sometimes I accompanied him to an afternoon concert at St. James' Hall, or a matinee at the Lyceum, and he was very kind and aftentive; but I could never get over the fact that he had laughed at my poetry. Had he laughed only at myself I could have forgiven and forgotten it. One evening he called after having absented himself for a fortnight and I was wondering in spite of myself what could havé' happened him. I was about to call: Mrs. Kent to light the gas, though it was really quite bright, when he stopped me. "Don't . ring for lights," he said, in bis lazy way ; " I want to talk to you. I have' something very particular to say to you, Madeline ; and I want to say 'it 10 you alone, Madeline," and somehow he got possession of both my hands--*I love you; I want.you for ny. wife ; I want to take care of you,' dear, if you will lot me." ie #1 can't help it," I returned feebly and vaguely. . "No; of course not, and I don't want you to. Darling you must have secn that I love you, and you must--/ you surely must care a little for me in return 1" * «1 don't know," 1 said more feebly % # Car i, i other sod 1 ere chs st Bon ----ral How Moch did Ho Take? i There is a story y oonected: swith & prominent lawyer who has distinguish- ; ed himself in therdefence of criminals' as well as in conection with other trials) having frequently, through his 'skill; assisted the most hardended . criminals': to escape from justice. Some time ago while aitending ort in a proyvind cial town, he . was applied to by & singular specimen of humanity, with larceny, to 'defend him. The lawyer inquired what crime hé was accused of. The party accused replied that a party had been mean enough! to charge him with stealing two hund- red and fifty pounds in bank 'notes; and got him indicted. "Ars you guilty 1" : "That's none of your business," re plied the accused. "They say it makes no difference to you whether a man is guilty or not ; you will contrive to dig him out of it some way. So don't talk any more about guilt till you hear' what the jury says." "Well what about the pay 1" "Wait till the trial is over. Give that K---- (the eomplainant) fits on' the examination, and that fellow he has got to back him, and you'll have no trouble about the pay, take my word," The trial commenced, and proved to be a somewhat protiacted and exciting one. The prosecutor proved that the money in question was composed of four five pound notes and the rest ten' pound notes, all of which were wraped: up in a piece of oil-silk. The jury, alter lis.ening t) the counsel in the' case, and receiving the charge of the judge, returned with a verdict of nbt guilty. The aceused, who was greatly' elated at the result of the trial aud the efforts of his counsel, invited the latter' intoone of the vaait rooms.

"There, take your money out of that. I suppose there is enough to' pay you tolerably well." "Why, you villain, you stole that money afterall!" exclaimed the lawyer.
