He never gotanother chance. Our old bachelor enjoying, as we have said, the privileges of eccen- tricity, it excited no surprise when on. One occasion, after an absence from home, he wrote to inform his servants--an old couple that had lived with bim for years--that on hia retarn he would be accommpani- od by a widow lady, who was likely to make a long stay at the house, and for whom apartments were to be got "And a pretty upsot she'll mako,' exclaimed the dismayed old house- keeper. ."" A fussy middle aged per- som, ho doubt, ordering and interfer- ing and wanting to have her own way, which she wont get, John, as long as you and I can prevent her. She'll be a clever madam if she get her foot inside my storercom while there's locks and bolts to-keep her out, I can tell her." " Don't you make too sure™ said John. The old man could not resist now and then teasing his helpmate 8s a little set off against sundry Diggins on the part of that good lady. "Maybe its a mistress of the house and of yourself that's coming te it. IUs time, if the master is ever {0 marry, that"-- "Ab, stop your croaking now!" exclaimed Mrs John. Thisdire sug- gestion was too overpowering for her feelings. . Tho appointed day arrived ; and when the cab drove to the door, the two old domestics, with their sour faces and their backs very muchap, went to receive the master and his guest. The first glimpse of the latter showed them that they might have spared their sour faces and hostile intentions. Out of the ©ab, before their astonished eyes, sprang a girlish figure,whose bright and happy face contrasted curiously with her mourning garments. "Mind the step, uncle I" (O, his niece, she is!) she éried tripping up to to the hall door. 'Don't trouble, nlease," with a smile to the old housekeer, 'that bag is too heavy for you; T'll carry it." | And when the stranger came down to breakfast next morning with a morsel of a cap perched an ther top {of ber golden braids of hair, ('Not slways receiving from willing hand€of the young girl.

"Shell come tripping up to me, and 'Now, do as you're bid,' she'll say playfully forcing me dewn into my big chair. 'Sitdown and rest; that's an old dear,and take your tes, I'm not going to let youdo a tarn more.' And then she'll work away, her tongue going all the time as fast as her fingers, running on about her mother and her home, her flowers and pets, dogs and birds and what not, but nevera word about her husband or married days.

Matters were in due time so far satisfactorily settled between the young couple that an appeal to the uncle was deemed expedient. The old gentle- man received the announcement with a half-pleased, balf-satirical "Ha, I thought eo!" he muttered. " Bat are you aware, my friend that there is no money in thecase ?

I'm not going to propose sending her to the Gaiety or the Criterion."

Why do youn ask /" And in reply the brother unfolded the plan he had been concocting-- namely, that his neice, laying aside her '"flippery and her trinkets and other girl's nonsense," was to put on the mourning garb and act the part of a widow, in which assimed char- acter she was 10 come to slay with him in his Loudon home. * But I don't understand" -- " And you're not wanted to under- stand," he snarled.

Ho, ho, ho I" When the first surprise of her uncle's strang proposition was over, the young girl jumped eagerly at the prospect of a change from the dull home she had never left. She was young and spirited, at an age when love of variety and a longing tosee the world and plunge into its unknown delights are natural. The playing of the widow she thought would bo excellent fun, There was a spice of adventure init, and it would be like the private theatricals and acting charades she had read. of and imagined so pleasant.
