think yoa know all about him i darn say are you very mash in love with him f not desperately answered julia smiling at the same time t confoss that i am strongly prepossessed in his favor and this preponesaion is likely to become a warmer sentiment well my little niece as you have requested my advice i will jiva it i do not object tn this lover of jonrs indeed i know nothing against him but then i know too little of him at any rate to beahle to form a deliberate opinion of lifs character if i misuke nof this is also your case now irtj theory that no woman ought to raarfy unless she is sufecieotly well acquainted with her intended husband to have a pretty confident astnrance of leading a happy life with him i iherefoie counsel yoa to delay giving your answer for a month and in that time iwilloontrivo to become bettor acquainted with him tour advice is good- said julia rbouubtfullv and i will follow it j thank yonbaid her uncle kindly for the confidence you bare reposed in my jndgment i sinoerely hopo that tbe young man will proye to bo all that we can desire edward fitzroy was in business in the neighboring citv hehad embark ed a small property iiberitifl i rom hit father

village whichal made of being her unolus heiress would have procured her suitors but it ia cot iieoessary tp dwell further on this point of oar story we are interested to learn how uncle henrys plans juo ceeded he fiist made cautious inquiiies as to the young mans bntiuess standing all ol which were answered satisfuctor ily but this did not satisfy him he wished to sou for himself according ly he purcbwdiyiuit cf clothing so different fiotd jiirif whiothe wnsaoeu- totued to wear hat with a pair of green goggles superadded he felt con- vinoed would disguise him sufficiently for bis purpose thus- attired he lounged into the store and inquired for some trifling article ho was pur ponely yery slow in being suited meanwhile be watched with some at tendon the bearing of fiuroy who was trading with a fashionably attired lady at a littlo diatanoe nothing could bo i more polite or obsequious than the conduct of the young tradesman with unwearied assiduity he took djpwn from the shelves and displayed it lurgn stock of metchsodtse until the fastidious taste o the lady was at length sailed hes attentive to biscustomers thought uncle henry that is a good sign but perhaps it may lie simply because she is rich and fashionable heres a customer of a different kind let us see how he treats her at this moment a woman very poorly dressed with a worn and weary expression as if she were better so- quainud with the dark than the bright side of life entered the street door and advanced to the counter the affable smile which fitzroy had worn ia his interview with he last customer disappeared and in its place was seen a eiipereillious glance i would like to look at some cali- i coca said the customer here art some said fitzroy enrtly pointing to a pile which lay on the counter ho did not stir from his position but gazed at the woman witb an air that seemed to indicate how utterly iiidiffsrent he was as to her patronage will you show me some of them i asked the woman mildly there they are maam yoa n see them for yoarsely what ia tho pries of jtbisf sbs inquired looking at the one which lay at the top ninophneo a yard i dont altogether like the figure she said after a pause dontyou 1 returned filzroy curt- iy r the customer began to examine snme of lie ether prints of course in doing so she was obliged to disarrange tbein somewhat don v pull them all to pieces said fitzroy rudely there jsnt much difference in them youdujetter take the first one that comes how much do you want 1 ten yards well you bad better let me cnt it off as i cant staud waiting on ono customer all day thus importuned tbe woman hastily indicated one of the piints and the required quantity was measured off change was hastily mule and the woman departed her place waa taken by a wealthy lady like the first the rustle of whose silk proved an immedi ate passport to the good graoes of the young merchant si a two dollar bill and you handed me back two quarters wasnt that right f no i bought ten yards at nine- pence a yard whioh made but a dollar and a quarter and you banded me s two dollar bilir j j yes ir j then i must hare given you tack three quarters but sir it cannot be i have only two oh youll finl another in your pocket if you havent spent it said fitzroy insolently the woman coloured i indeed sir i know i am right she said troubled it is for yoar interest to he said with a sneer and you wont rectify tbe mistake said tbe poor woman faintly you make a great fuss about s quarter of a dollar it is of some importance to me said the woman r- i cant leturn it said fitzroy shortly there la no end to tbe im positions that would be practiced ujmn rue if i allowed everybody to come back and claim that they hid not re csivfd the right change here uncle henry who had listened with indignation to this scene inter fered yoa are mistaken said be decided ly l saw you band this lady her change and yoa passed her two quar ters fitzroy glanced at the speaker it has not been mentioned that uncle henry the better to conceal identity was coarsely dressed and accordingly fitzroy set him down as a person of ns consequence he therefore answered haughtily i shall need more than your word my good sir how do j know bat you are in league oood morning sir said uncle henry abruptly yoa may hereafter regret this gratuitous insult madam may i have a word with you r tbe woman followed bim out of the shop while fitzroy in no very pleasanij mood mattered about he airs of these beggars madame said uncle henry when they were on the street will yoa ac cept from me this pieoe of gold which will in a measure atone for this mans rudeness and jodr loss nay no thanks what i witnessed has been worth more j to me than this small bum at the end of s month edward fritzroy came to receive julia deo hams answer to his salt he folt quite confidant of success a confidence which was somewhat diminished by the coldness with which she returned his greeting i must decline the honor of your allianoh said she in answer to his urgent proposal bat what can have wrought such a change in yon t be asked hiscouulen ance changing i must refer yogto my uncle uncle henry who enfred the room
