LOVE REASONS NOT. CHAPTER X. a SMOCK ID r ATM IK. "1 am quite lure of one thing," Lord Cbtndo* had said, a* they drew near London, "and that is, Leone if my father eeee yon before my mother hai time to in- terfere, it will be all right. He can remit anything but a pretty face that alwayt conquers him." "I wi*h," aaid Leon*, with s sigh, "that 1 wtr* lee* proud. I>o you know, Lance, that I cannot endure to htsr you epeak a* though I were to be receivtd a* a great favi-r. I wonder why I am to proud I I am t farmer's niece, and you sre the son of powerful earl, yet I please do not be offended : I cannot help it I feel quite a* good a* you." Ht laughed aloud. Thcrt was nothing he enjoyed belter than thn proud frank- ness of hert, which would never yield to or wonhip rank or title. "1 am glad lo hear it, Leone, " he replied. "For my own part, I think yon very much better than myself. I have no fear, if my father see* you fint, and tost it why I nave telegraphed to him to meet u* at Dunmore House." "But," *he intiitei, "suppose that he does not like me what shall we do then ? " "Why," he replied, "the right and proper thing for me to do thtn will be to try to love you, if possible, even bet- ter than I do now. Leone, the first thing we mu*t do it to drive to one of the court milliners ; no matter what follows, your dress most be attended to at once firet impressions are everything. You look royally beautiful in sll that you wear, but I would much rather that ry lather taw you in a proper costume. Suppose we drive to a milliner's fint, and ohooee a handsome dress, and all (binge unable, then we can go to the Queen's Hotel ; the trunks can be sent after us. We can dine there ; and when you have dressed a la Lady Chando*, we will go to D'inmore House, and carry everything before us. " He did a* he hat said. Ibey drove first to Madame Caroline's. Lord Chanuos wai accustomed to the princely tyle of doing thing*. He tent for madsme, who looked up in wonder at hi* fair young face. 'Tnis U my wife," he sti-l, "Lady Chandoe." We hsve been in tht country and the want* eveiything new, in your best tyle." It seemed to him hours had puse<i when madtme reappeared. Certainly he harHly knew the superbly beautiful girl with her. Was it possible that after all the poets bad laid about "beiuty unadorned" tha 1 dress made such a difference? It had changed hie beautiful Leone into a beauti- ful empress. Madtme looked at him tor approval. "I hope your lordship i* satisfied," the aid ; with the usual quickness of her nation, she had detected the fact that thi* had been a runaway marriage. " I am more than ralitfied," he replied. Before him ttood a tall, slender girl, whose superb figure was *een to advantage in one of Worth's moil fashionable dresses trailing silk and rich velvet, so skillfully intermixed with the mo*t exquisite taste : a lace bonnet that seemed to crcwn the rippling hair j pearl-gray gloves that might have grown on the white hands. Her dret* was simply perfect ; it wa* at once elegant and ladylike, rich and cosily. " I shall not be afraid lo face my father now," he laid, ' I have a talisman." Yet hit fair young face grew paler as they reached Dunmore House. It wait terrible risk, and he knew it a terrible ordeal. He realized what he had done when the house- keeper told him the earl awaited him in the dining room. A decided sensation of nor vousnest came over him, and he looked at the fresh, proud, glowing beauty of his young wife) to reassure himself. She wa* l*rfct, he felt that, and he was satisfied. " Oiv* me your hand, Leone," he aaid, and the touch of that little hand gave him new courage. He went in leading her, and the earl sprung from '-it teat in startling amaze. Lord Chando* went boldly up to him. "Father," he said, "allow me to Introduce to you my wife, Leout, l-aily glanot at the but made no Chando.." The sari gave a terrified beautiful southern face, answer. "1 have to ask your forgiveness," con- tinued the young lordling, "for having married without your content ; but I knew, under the circumstances, it wa* useless to ask it, so I married with- out." Still th lame terrified look tod utter ilenoe, "Kather." uried Lord Chandot, "why do yon not welcome my young wife home t" Then Lord Lanswell tried to smile -a dreadful, ghastly smile. "My dear boy," h* aaid, "you are jesting ; I am quite sure you ars jetting. It cannot be real ; you would not be so cruel !" "Kather," repeated the young lord, in an imperative voice, "will you bid my wife welcome home!" "No," aaid the earl atoutly. "I will not. The young lady will excuse me If 1 decline to bid her welcome to a home that can never be hers." "Father," oried the young man, reproach- fully, " I did not tipect thie from yon." 1 I do not understand what slse yon ejonld eipec'," cried the earl, angrily. "Do you mean to tell me that it i* true that thi* person i* your wife ? ' "My dear and honored wife," replied the yocnff man. " Do you mean to tell me thit you have actually married thit lady, Lance really married her?" " I have, indeed, father, and it is about the beet action of my life," said Lord Chando*. " How do you intend to face my lady ? " asked the earl, with the voiue and manner of one who proposes a difficulty not to bs solved. " I thought you woul 1 help ut, father ; at least, speak to my wife." The earl looked at the beautiful, distress- ed face. " I am very sorry," be said, " sorry for you. Lance, and the lady, but I cannot re- ceive her at your wife." "She U my wife, whether yon receive her or not," said Lord Chando'. " Leone, how can I apologize to you ' 1 never ex- pected that my father would receive you in ilnt fashion. Father, look at her ; think how young, how beautiful the is ; yon can- not be unkind lo her." "I have no with to be unkind," said the earl, " but I eannot receive her a* your wife," Then, seeing the color fade from her face, he hastened to find her a chair, and poured ont a glass of wine for her : he turned with a stern face to hit son. "U'hat have you been doiug ;" he cried. "While your mother and I thoughtyonwere working hard to make up for lost time, what have you been doing '" "I have been working; very hard," be replied, "and my work will bring forth good fruit ; but, father, I have found lei- sure for love as well" "So it seems," said the earl, dryly ; "perhaps you will tell me who this lady is, and why she comes home with you V "My wife: her name was Leone Noel ; she is now Lady Chandoe. '' For ihe first lime Leone spoke. "I am a farmer's niece my lord," she said, limply. Her voioe had a ring of music in it so tweet that it struck the earl with wond- er. "A farmer's niece," he replied. "You will forgive me for saying thai a farmer's niece can be no fitting wife lot my son. " "I love him, my lord, very dearly, and I will try hard to be all that ne can with me to be." "Kravely apoken ; but u it quite in vain my lady wouldnever hear of tuch a thing I dare not I cannot sanction it, even by a word, my lady would never forgive me. Can you tell me when thi* rath action wa* accomplished V "Thi* i* our wedding-day, father," cried Lord Chando*. " Only think of it, our wedding-day, and you receive us like this. How cruel and cold." "Nay, I am neither," aaid ihe earl ; " it it rather yon. Lance, who do not teem to realize what you have done. You seem to think you belong to yourself ; you are mis- taken ; a man in your position belongs to hit country, hit race, to his family, not to himself ; that view of the quetUon, prob- ably did not ttrike you." ' No." replied Lord Chandoe, " it certainly did not ; but, father, if 1 have doue wrong, forgive me." "I do forgive you, my dear hoy, freely , young men will be foolish I forgive you ; but do not ask me to sanction your marriage or receive your wife. 1 cannot doit." "Then, of what use it your forgiveneet? Oil, father. I did not expect this from you; vou have always been so Kind lo me. I bad fancied difficulue* with my mother, Ml none wilh you." "My dear Lance, we had better tend for my Isdy ; she it really, as you know, the dominant spirit of our family. She will decide on what it to be done." "I mini on my wife Iwing treated with due respect, "raged the young lord. "My dear Laoos, you mutt do a* you will ; I refuse to recognize this lady in any way. Will you tell me when and where you were married T" "Certainly . this morning, by the Rever- end Mr. Harnet, at the Church of St. Harnabai, in Oheton.a little village twenty milet from Raihleigh. The marriage wa* all en regie; we had the bans published and witnesses present." "You took great pains to be sxact,and the lady, you tell me, is a farmer's niece." "My uncle it Farmer Robert Noel ; h* hat a farm at Raihleigh," said Leone, "and in his way i* an honest, loyal, honorable man." The earl could not help feeling the tweet, soft music of thai voioe ; it touched hit heart. "I believe you, " he said, "but it is a sad thing Farmer Noel did not tak* more care of hit niece. I am sorry it ha* hap- pened ; I can do nothing to help you ; my lady must manage it all." "But, fathei,' pleaded the young man, " it wat on you 1 relied ; it wai to your efforts 1 trusted. Be my friend ; if you will receive my wife here and acknowledge her, on one else can say a word.'' " My dear boy, only yesterday your mother and I were speak in u of something on which the whole desire of her heart was tiled ; remembering that conversation I tell you quite frankly that I dare not do what you ask me ; your mother would never spesk to me again." " Then. Leone, darling, we will go ; Heaven forbid that we should remain where we are rot welcome. "Father," he cried, in sudden emotion, "have you not one kind word, not one bleating for me, on my wed- ding-day " "I refuse) to believe that it it your wedding day, Lance. W hen that day does corns, you shall have both kind word* and blessings from m.. CHAPTER XI. THE I.AWYBH'R BTATIMINT. l.a.ly l.answell stood in the library at Uunmor* House, her handsome fao* flushed with irritation and annoyance, her tine eye* flashing fire. She looked like one born to command ; her tell, stately figure bore no signs of age ; her traveling drsss of rich silk swept the ground in graceful fold*. She had not removed her mantle of rich lace ; it hung from her shoulders still ; she had removed her bonnet and glove*. With one jeweled hand resting on the table.ihestood, the picfirt of indignation and anger. Lord Lanewell had sent a telegram at once, when hi* son left him, begging her to onme at once, a* Lance had something im- portant to tell her. My lady lost no time ; she wa* far more auicK and keen of judgment than th* earl. she never thought of gambling or betting, her thoughts all went to love. It wa* some- thing about a cirl, the aaid to herself; but she should stand no nonsense. Lance must remember what wai due to hi* family. If h* had m*ae any such mi* tar* as that ot falling in lov* with on* b*n*alh him, then h* must rectify the mistake a* quickly a* possible ; there could be no misalliance in a family like theirs. A sum of money would doubtless have to be expended over the matter, then it wonld be all right. So thought my lady, and a* th* express drew near London she promised herself that all wonld be well. Her spirits rose, her fears abated ; n* son of here wonld ever make a mistake so utterly absurd. There wa* something of (corn in my lady's face as she entered Dunmore House. The earl met her in the entrance hi.ll. "I have lost no time, a* yon see," she laid. " What i* all this nousense, ROM?" He did not answer until they stood to- gether in the library, with the door closed, aad then she repeated the word*. Some- thing in her husband'* faci dismayed her. "Speak, Kos* ; I dislike suspense. Tell me at once ; what ha* th* boy done ?" "He is married," said th* earl, solemn. If. "i .real Heaven :" cried my lady. " Mar- ried ' You cannot mean it. Married how whom when ?" " You will be dreadfully distressed," be organ, (lowly. My lady stamped her foot. "I can bear distress better than suspense. Tell me quickly, Koss, hat he disgraced himself !" "I am afraid so," was the brief rtp'y. "And I loved him so I trusted him so ; it is impossible ; tell me, Ross." "He ha* married a farmer * niece. Th* girl is beautiful. I have seen no on* so beautiful ; the seem* to be well educated and refined. Her uncle ha* a farm at Rash- leigh. " " A larmer't niece," cried my lady ; "you cannot possibly mean it. There must b* some mistake the boy ha* been playing a practical joke on yon." " I*, i* no joke ; I only with it were. Lance gave me the detail*. H* wa* mar- ried yesterday morning by the Reverend Mr. Barnes, at the church of St. Barnabas, at Ohetou, a village somewhere near Rash- leigh." " Married really and actually married," cried my lady. " I will not believe it." " I'nhappily, it is true. He expected, I think, to make hi* home here ; he had no idea of leaving Dunmore House ; but I told him that I could not receive him or ner. ' " Her ! Yon do not really mean Ui say that he had the audacity to bring her here. Rots?" most simple aad honorable plan would be to Ut the matter stead a* it i*, and do your best tor her. " "Never !" cried my lady , proudly. " I would rather that Cawdor were burned to the ground than to have such a person rule over it. It i* useless to wa*te tint* and word?, the marriage most b* set aside." The lawyer looked from one to tit* other. "There can b* no difficulty whatever in setting th* marriage aside," aaid Mr. Sew- ell. "In point of fact. I must tell yon what I imagined you would have known perfect- ly well" My lady looked at him with redoubled interest. "What i* that ?" sb* asked, quickly. Th* earl listened with the greatest at- tention. "It i* simply this. Lady Lenswell, that the marriage i* no marriage ; Lord Chandoa u under age he cannot marry without your contect ; any marriage that he con- tract* without your consent i* ill*gal|and invalid no marriage at all th* law doe* not recognize it-" "Is that ihe English law ?' asked Lady LanswslL "Yss, th* marriage of a minor, like your son, without the consent of his parent*, is no marriage ; the law utterly ignore* it. The remedy lie*, therefore, in your own hands." Husband and wife looked at each other it wa* a desperate chance, a desperate remedy. For one moment each thought of the sanctity of the marriage tie, and all that wat involved in the breaking of it. Kach thought how terribly their only son must suffer if thi* law wa* enforced. Then my lady'* face hardened and the earl knew what wa* to follow. It remain* for us, then, Mr. Sewell," she said, "to take the needful step*." "Yes, you must make an appeal to the High Court, and the marriage will be at once sst aside," aaid Mr. Sewell. "It i* a terrible thing for the young wife, though. " "She should have had more sense than to have married my soc," cried my lady. "I have pity for my son none for her." I think it would be more fair to tell Lord Chandoa what you intend doing," aaid Mr. Sewell. "Not that he could make either resistance or defence the law u absolute." What will the end be r' asked my lady. The marriage will be declared null and void ; they will be .ompelled to separate now ; but again he has ihe remedy in hit own hand. If he choose* lo remain true and constant to her, the very next day after be become* of sge he can remarry her, and then she become* his lawful wife ; if h* forgets her the only remedy for her would be money compensation." It shall b* th* business of my lit* to that he does forget her," said my lady. " Yes.they came together last night ; but I would not leceiv* her. I told them plain- ! ly that you must settle the matter, a* I could not." " I should think not," said my lady, With emphasis. "I must own, though," continued the earl, " that I wa* rather sorry for Lance ; hs had trusted entirely to my good orticet | and seemed to think it veiy cruel of me to refuse to plsad for him." And ihe girl," said my lady, " what of ' hsrT" " You will think 1 am weak and foolish, without doubt*" he said, " but th* girl dis- Iressed me even more than Lance. She is beautiful enough to arouse the admiration of the world ; and she spoke so well for him." "A farmer'sniece an underbred, forward, designing. \ ulgar country girl to be Coun- -. less of Lanswell, ' cried my lady in horror. I not.' " Nay, said the earl, " she is a fanner's I niece, it is true, but she is not vulgar." "It is not possible that she can b* pre- sentable said my lady. " We must move heaven and earth to set th* marriage "I had not thought of that," said the earl, simply. Then my lady took the lace mantilla from her shoulders and sat down at the writing-table. " I will **nd for Mr. Sewell," she said. "If any one can give us good advice, he can." Mr. Sewell was known a* one of the finest, keenest, and cleverest lawyers in Kngland ; he had been for more than twsnty years agenl for the Lan*w*ll* of Cawdor. Ht knew every detail of their history , every event that happened ; and the proud countess liked him, because he ws* thoroughly conservative in all his opinions. She sent for him now a* a last resource ; th* carriage was sent to hi* office, so that he might lo*e no time. In less than an hour the brisk, energetic lawyer stood before the distressed parents, listening gravely to the story of the young heir's marriage. Have you se*n the girl ?" he aaked. "Ye*, I hate seen her," laid the earl. " I* the presentable ?" he inquired. " Wonld any degree of training enable her to take her rank -- " l*dy Lanawell interrupted him. "The question need never b* aaked," she aid, proudly. "I refuse ever to see her, or acknowledge her. I insist on the mar- riage being set aside." "One ha* to b* careful, my lady," said Mr. SewelL "I see no need for any great care," she retorted. "My son has not studied us ; we shall not study him. I would lather th* entail were destroyed, and the property go to one of Charles Sey ton's sons, than my son share it wilh a low-born wife." My lady's face was inflexible. The earl and the lawyer saw that she wai resolved that she wonld never give in, never yield, DO matter what appeal wss made to nor. They both knew that more words were useless. My lady's mind wai mads up, proceedings at " You can file rhole matter public," You can commence once," said Mr. SewelL your petition to-morrow, "It will make the beutated my lady. "Yet, that it the one drawback. After 11 it does not matter," said Mr. Sewell, "many young men make simpletons of themselves in tl.e same way. People do not pay much attention." Lord uanswell looked at hit wife's hand- some, inflexible lace. "It is a desperate thing to do, Lucia," he said, "for Lance love* her very dearly." " It was a desperate action on hi* part to marry without consulting us," said my lady. "He will b* of age next June,'' said the earl, "do you think thai he will be true to her?" " No," said the countess, proudly. " I can safely pledge you my word that be will , and they might a* well fight th windt and the wave*. Lord Lanswell was mor* inolin ed to pity and to temporize. He wa* sorry for hit .on, and the beautiful face had made some impression on him ; but my lady was inflexible. "The marriage must be set aside," the repeated. The earl looked at her gravely. "Who can set aside a thoroughly legal marriage ?" h* asked. "Yon will find out the way," said my lady, turning to Mr. Sewell. "1 can easily do that. Lady Laniwell ; of court* it i* for you to decide ; but there is no doubt but that the marriage can easily be disputed you mutt decide. If you think the girl could be trained and taught to behave bsi self perhaps (Ti. Ht COMTIMCIP.) THEY ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY. Tke i sii.h i .n.i i.r.1 rheetra Ikr Clerw sasi far livery Farlsk Mi. Prop- erty. The great majority of the churches of Kngland are private property. When a large estate is purchased, the parish church or churchcs,go with th* rest of the properly. The landlord or the patron of the livings, a* be is called with reference to hit relation! to hit church property chooses the clergy- man for every parish on his property and to it that the revenue attaching thereto goes to him. H* can sell his church-living or let it to whom h* will ; and, although each incumbent is put oxer the parish for lit*, at his death the patron may again bestow it upon some one else. So secure wa* thi* tenure of the parson in his parish that it is only recently that an act of Parlia- ment permitted his dmmissal even for drunkenness or debt. The people of a parish have well-defined rights to the ser- vice* of the parson, to sittings in the church to burial in the churchyard, and to the sacrament*, but to little more. Ueorge William Thomas Brudenell Bruce, fourth Marquis ot Ailesbury, who died the other day, wa* the patron of nine such liv- ings. Hs married a girl of unexceptionable immorality from the variety stage, was part owner of several music halls, and ac- quired notoriety as having been ruled off every race track in Kngland as a cheat and a blackguard. There is always a largi number propably -,OC<I out of the total of IS.OOO of these livings for sale, which are advertised just a* other investment* are. A wealthy man's daughter marries a clergy- man, and the father if he be of the right sort purchase* on* of these livings and pres- ent* it as a wedding gift. A clergyman with capital at his disposal invest* some of it in such a purchase, and enjoys the income thereof and an agreeable way of exercising hi* professional energies at the same time. The clergyman's social position is greatly improved in the last hundred yean, and he no lonver sit* below the salt at his patron's table or contents himself with marrying the lady's maid. Very Much Taken. The crowd at the fair were going to have their picture* t akf n in a group at a souvenir, and the pretty girl, who had been making smiled up at THE eyei at the tell young man him and said softly : " I want to be taken with yon." He looked down into her ayes mettably. " I am already taken with you," he mur- i mured, and she liked to have had a eon ihe | uiptiou fil right there. The Kitchen Furnishing. Every wom.n knows that washing the diahe* tued for cooking, ooinruoaiy called pot* and kettle*. it the most disagreeable pert of the kitchen work. For thi. reason. it a vsry apt to be neglected or dope in a or*l** manner. Son* of th discomfort attending this work may be avoided by tuing a* f ar a* peexribl* granite wan sauce- pan* and kettle* for cooking, which may be, don* more than torn* people ar* awar of. Though the original ootit U greater than tin, thie i* more than balanced by tn*ir greater durability, and* from greater comfort in cleansing. Bat when it do** become necessary to attack the** article*, it is well to have the proper appliances and do thie, which, like every other work, ha* a right and a wrong way, in the beet and easiest nan- ner. In the school* of domeetie economy in Europe, the cleaning of kitchen ateasil* w a part of the regular course of Isssoos, and including the cleaning of lilver ie given the general name of scullery work. A writer who vieited OL of ibee* school* in Edinburgh thn* deecribe* on* of the leaion* in cleaning an iron pot or pan. It i* fint thoroughly waahed ouutdeand inaid* with plonty of hot water and coda; then tcrubbe.l vigoroiuly with what i* called in Scotland "a pot ramie" which u a tifhtly bound bundle of broom twig* dipped in aand and water. In place of till* v* thould recommend one of the diihclottn compoeed of steel ring*, which coet very little. After bein *crabbed clean the pot i* rin**d in plenty of water and well dried. And there it i*, smooth to the touch ouUide and in: *weet to the imell, pleating to the eye. If onioni have been cooked in it their udor i* remove. 1 by using aehe* instead of land. Like the iron pot, the enameled or porcelain- lined Muce pane are tint briuhed intide and out with hot water and coda. To clean the mude and smooth all roughnesses, crushed egg- hell* are uted in the aerabbiag with Map and a lutle hot wa-.er. The pan* are then thoroughly rimed and dried after which they are rubbed till they thine. Direction* ar* then given for cleaning copper Mucepane, which are not in very general UM in thi* country, hot one point i* worthy of imitation in cleaning iron u:- ensils that of cleaning the crevice* where the handle i> joiced and around the large round riven that aecure the handle, for which a butcher'* wooden ikewer can be kept. A tin tea kettle was first waahed with hot water and coda, and lemon peel used to remove staius. Then a paste made of whiting and water wis applied with a ft woolen rag, then rubbed oil with a dry piece of rlinnel and dry whiting. Steel knivee and fork* were cleaned by rubbing them on the brick dutt, inttead of the op- poeite. which ie the usual way.

The tntir* turn oeceetary to furnith an equipnsni which would tave the time and strength of many a weary woman, who triee hard lo do her work in the way the feele it thould be done, it not more than it often expended on a tingle piece of furniture to adorn the beet room and plea** the eye of the visitor. We believe in a woman surrounding herself with all the pretty thinge poeuble, but do not neglect the kitchen for the take of them. Cleaning- Old Material.
