He is a bright-hearted, easy-going man, and up to this juncture the Lepells have no idea of the steadfastness of purpose he can oppose to their united disapprobstion of his project. They put before him elo- quently that he will damage the interest of his unborn family by taking this step, and that he will be condemning Marian to a life of desolation, perhaps of danger! His answer to this is that he has incurred reponsibilities toward the living which he considers have a higher claim upon him than those he may never be called upon to undertake toward a family that may never exist; {and that if Marian has a proper affection for him, she will find her highest pleasure in aiding him to do his duty to- ward those for whose welfare he has become surety by his purchase of the land on which they live 1 Hints to the eflect that, under these peculiarly painful circumstances, he must not be surprised if the engagement is broken 03 till he comes to his senses are met by him with the assurance that “ whatever Marian may elect to do he will not blame her, however deeply he may regret the step.” Altogether he is imprac- ticable, and as Marian sees no immediate chance of making a better match and is really fond of him, in a way that is perhaps more lasting than a more demonstrative affection might prove, the engagement continues. and is about to come to an and happily in Weybridge Church on this cold, clear January morning.

They have, none of them, taken graciously to what they call his “ Irish folly,” and he, on his side, has not taken their inquiries and investigations and general carping at and tilting'against the plan well. He has neither looked grateful nor gratified when his future father-in-law has expressed an earnest desire to go over himself, with a competent English lawyer on whom he (Mr. Lepell) can rely, and look into the leases and agreements held by the difi‘erant tenants on the parragh estate. There is 9. sound of wedding-bells down at that prettiest of Surrey churches that stands on a beautiful piece of ground where churchyard merges almost imper- ceptibly into Vicarage garden at Wov- bridge. The rich Mr. Lepell's daughter Marian is to be married this day to the rising London surgeon, Mr. Annealeyâ€"the son of a. man who bore a. high professional reputation, and won much social esteem in and around Walton and its neighborhood while he lived. He has even gone so far as to definitely refuse to tell any of them-even Marianâ€" what sum he has paid for the property, and this oontumaoiousness of his has been pro- ductive of much gloom hanging over his relations with the Lepells. But it must be granted to him that during these few months, since Derragh has been his own, Mr. Annealey has not neglected his practice or let slip asingle chance of forwarding his professional career in London. He has worked nobly and well, early and late, worked as one who loves his fellowmen as well as him- self, and he has won his reward! A splendid practice among those who suffer more from a superfluity of the good things of this world rather then from privation is his, and his name as their best guide and friend physi- celly is on countless self-indulgent sufier- ers' lips. 0n the whole, when Marian reflects on the long list of his fashionable clients, she is inclined to be well satisfied with the position she will have as his wife in pavendieh square: can : Took an egg from the nestâ€"it was smooth and round ; . “ Now, my boy, can you tell me what makes thlB » sound ‘2" Faint and low, tap, tap ; Soft and low. mp, rap ; Sharp and quick, Like a. prisoner’s pick. “ Hear it peep, inside there I" cried Tom, with a. ‘ ,shout : " How did it get in, and how can it get out ‘2” Tom gafsueager to helpâ€"he could break the s e .

But latterly he has propounded some startling views, which nearly shatter his engagement and entirely destroy the Lepelle’ faith in his good sense. He takes a partner in, but as he only does this for a handsomeoonsideration they look upon his surrendering the supreme power in the practice leniently. But their wrath knows no bounds when he announces that for the future he shall transfer his sphere of use- tulness from the West End of London, where there are thousands of men as able as himself, to the West of Ireland, where sickness and suffering, caused by gaunt meat and neglect, claim his sympathy and ski . The People Loved Her Much. For it Has come bi this time to a. regular HUSBAND’S RELATIONS ; BENEATH TEE VEIL. CHAPTER VII. Miracles. There are only two discordant chords struck in the gay melody to which all things seem to set themselves this day. One jars painfully on Mr. Lepell’e ear, the other on the ear of the hridegroom.‘ “Nonsense l” is all he can find time to ‘whisper, for a dozen or more people are 1 about him now, shaking his hands, clapping ‘ him on the bank, and showering rice and good wishes upon him. It is astounding to find what a number of people who knew nothing of him before this supreme moment discover him to be an uncommonly good fellow now. Even Mrs. Maekiver’s grim. ness relaxes as she tells him in moderate language that she trusts he “may never repent of what he has done to-day,” and his five sisters-in-law wreathe themselves round him like one woman, and adjure him passionately “ to take care of Marian, and to have them over soon to stay with him” in Galway. It has come to their knowledge that certain regiments are ordered into Galway city from the Curragh, and these younger members of the house of Lepell are still innocent and unworldly enough to like “officers,” though it has been persistently borne in upon them that the genus is a penniless one and unworthy of cultivation. The prospect of one striated intercourse with some of the bright but withal tabooed beings from the van- tage-ground of their brother-in-law’s place 1 in Ireland, with no paternal eye upon them, ‘ and no paternal forbodings sounding in. their ears, seems good to them. So they lavish much sisterly affection with artless openness upon Robert Annealey, and per~ suade him that if he wants to make his wife really happy he will soon ask several of her sisters to be her goests. engagement between Dolly and Ronald Mackiver, the young soldier, who has not much besides his pay, and who is regarded by his parents as a great prize in the matri- monial market. Though it is January, it might be June to judge from the quantity and beauty of the flowers which deck every inch of the bride's way to-day. The hot~houses have been stripped for the sake of the house, and banks of roses, gardenias, camellias, red and white, drooping white lilies, and masses of Russian and Neapolitan violets rise in the hall. on the staircases, and in every reception-room. rJIhe breakfast hss been arranged by Gunter for upward of two hundred guests, and the wedding-cake is as oollossal as its ornaments are unique. In place of the usual monster vase of flowers and cupids in white sugar is an exquisitely moulded harp, with groups of shamrock springing up_ _around it. “In compliment to my somin-lcwv, who has large estates in Ireland.” Mrs. Lepell explains graciously to some of her guests, carrying out her resoluhion to make the best of what she regards as rather a. bad business. Of course the Killeens are at the wed- ding. Darragh, in fact, is one of the twelve bridemaids in ruby plush and ivory-white silk. And the Mackivers are here in right of Dolly, and Arthur Thynne, because that “ dear little Mrs. St. John” made a point of his being asked. Mrs. StJohn has written an ode on the auspicious event, which is printed on white satin and laid before each guest,â€"a sweet and judicious set of verses, in which she describes the virtues and talents and general graces of the bride’s parents in terms that rather surprise some of their oldest friends. As for the bride- groom, he comes in for rather a curt men- tion; in fact, he is merely cautioned to take care of the precious treasure confided to his care by those who have the royalty of real parenthood stamped upon their lofty, loving brows. The ode goes on to describe Mr. Lepell as an Agamemnon of commerce, snd Mrs. Lepell as-a queen among mothers and women! Altogether, Mrs. St. John may be fairly said to deserve the hundred-pound note which is sent to her anonymously on the evening of this glad day. It is notorious that after this event the little mistress of popular fiction speaks of Mr. Lepell as her best and deares bene- factor and friendâ€"next, of course, to sweet, clever Mrs. Lepell. who must always have the foremost place in all well-regulated hearts and minds. After a time " the ode," and some of the reflections it awakes, is a thorn in good Mrs. Lepell‘s flesh, for men do not win the title of “best and dearest of benefactors” to impecunious genius of either sex without some outlay. Mrs. Lepell has hedged her husband in effectu- ally from the sordid advances of his own cousins, aunts, nieces, and nephews, but from this sweet stranger, who never addresses either of them save with the most honeyed words and the most sunny smiles, she cannot fence him off, and her own vanity will not permit her to say that Mrs. St. John‘s adulation is interested. In the meantime they enjoy the glory and goodness of it all quite as heartin as the rest of the guests, and at the same time revel in a. sense of superiority on account of the way In which they “ condemn" this reckless waste to each other. â€" u‘I don’t think Miss Thynne likes me,” Dolly wys hurriedly; “ she seems to keep both Ronald and me at a. greater distance than she does other people.” All the pomp and circumstance of the event strikes them as “just wicked waste,” and when they reflect on the possibility of Dolly being tempted to waste a portion of her own ten thousand pounds in a similar marriage spectacle, they shrink with horror from the alliance, and determine to point out the drawbacks of it pretty plainly to Ronald. Old Mrs. Mackiver ranges up alongSIde of Dolly, when they are all standing in the hall in two long 1ines,thmugh which the bride has to pass in triumph on her way out to the carriage. A Marian passes along, leaning on her father's arm, in her golden brown plush and gables, for which she has exchanged the bridal robe of white velvet and Meohlin lace, Mrs. Mackiver whispers to her son’s choice: “ Get Miss Thynne to stay there with you, dear: it will be dull for you alone till Marian and I come home, and Miss Thynne, with her enthusiasm for the place and the people, will b_e_a._w91_1_derfgl help tgyou.” The old Maokivers, cautious Scots who, having a little money of their own, are keenly alive to the value of it in others with whom they may be connected through Ronnld‘s marriage, are shocked into silence during the banquet by the vainglorious display. “ I hope to see more sensible gowns on your back on your wedding-day, Dolly. Your brother’s wife has the worth of one of his Insh farms on her back at this moment.” “I hope not," Dolly laughs, unconcern- edly. ‘* Robert and I hope that our specu- lation means more than a. few rich suits of velvet and fur, a. fearâ€"” then she pauses in confusion, remembering that Robert has ‘counaelled her not to tell the Mackivers of her share in the Darragh husineas vet. “ Your speculation! I hope you haven’t been crazy enough to put; any of your money into Irish land ?" the old Sootoh lady asks, sternly. “ Remember that it isn‘t yours to play fast and loose with, now that you have promised youself to my son, and bear in mind that you’ll want all you have for yourself and the children God may give to you; it’s due to Ronald. now that you consult. him about everything you do.” « "Dear old boyl I'd trust the wealth of the world to him if I had it," she thinks, as her brother approaches her to bid her good-bye, and to remind her that she must. be at Darmgh to receive them, and have all ready for them by the middle of Febru- ary. “ I shall always render his full due to Ronald.” Dolly says quietly, but she does not feel called upon to tell Ronald’s master- ful mother that for a time her brother has the use of her capital. She will tell Ron- ald how thiuge are when money matters are discussed, but up to the present time he has not broached them. “ It’s not true that fihings its not looking “ Dolly knows of no reason why she shouldn’t obey her brother's wishes. Do you 7” Miss Maokiver asks, looking Ronald straight in the eyes in the way that aha ha. “What has taken Dolly there, Mary ‘2” he asks; “ there has never been anything like frlendship or intimacy between those two girls. Why should Dolly go to Miss Thynnp now?” It is this quality which has made Ronald regard her as his best: and wisest friend from his boyhood. And it is to this wisest friend he goes for counsel when, on arriving home one day, he finds that Dolly has gone to cs;l_l>onr Darragh Thznne. V_ well at ‘The Bullion,’ is it?” an old gen- tlemen,e. brother director and extensive shareholder on the mighty assurance office he names, asks Mr. Lepell m the course of the after-dinner chat, when the havoc and splendor of the marriage feast; are matters eom_e_houre gone _bv. Mary Msokiver is endowed with many admirable and likesble qualities. but she is not a. lovable women. There is nothing soft about her externally. When she says a. kind and generous thing she says it in a. tone that takes the warmth out of the kindness and the grace out of the gener- osity. Her voice is harsh, deep-toned, with a. rssp in it that is probably due to the efleots oi the bitter blasts up in the North where she was born. But this voice is never heard in unjust condemnation, nor in' propagation of scandal, nor in the utter- ance of idle and malicious words. She is not demonstrative ; she never deigns to be tender or winning, but she is essentially trustworthy, and to be relied upon in any emergency. as she is not csrri d away by what other people say or thin , but is in- fluenced solely by her own knowledge of what is right or wrong]: _ ” You ought to know as much about it; as I do,” Mr. Lepell says, smiling. confidently. “My dear sir. the credit of The Bullion can no more be shaken than that of the Bank of England ; there is nothing to pre. vent The Bullion lusting while the world deos. I, at 169,33, onghh to know, and I can affirm that much." “ I hope you will be able to afl‘irm that much to-morrow, when you are likely to hear more about it,” hls friend responds dolefully; and a. painful feeling of doubt of that of which he has hitherto been so proudly confident assails Mr. Lepell’s heart, and makes his daughter’s wedding‘day one of _the glqomieqt he has known. The other discordant note is struck by old Mr. Mackiver. and falls on Robert Annealey’s ear just as he is about to follow his bride into her carriage. “ Good-bye," Ronald’s excellent, prudent 01d father says, clapping Mt. Annesley on the back in token of the utmost good-will and confidence ; “ I shall be writing to you soon about my boy and Dolly; my lawyer has got; all cuti and dried, and you’ll find he has put it down all pleasant and fair for both partiesâ€"” The household arrangements move on like clockwork. Mr. Mackiver has long since retired from business, and is merely a sleeping partner in the “house” which he made by his energy and perseverance. Mrs. Maokiver dislikes any interruption to the daily routine, which has been strictly observed ever since they came to live here, twenty years ago. And Mary is a. “ daugh- ter who is like unto her mother,” as the Scriptures declare a. daughter shall be. “ All right! good-bye,” Robert Annealey shouts out ; but a. little demon of care gets into the carriage with him, who is not easily exorcised. They have a dance to wind up with in the evening, and one or two fashionable papers have an account of the wedding end of all appertaining to it in a. few days, with a, list of the presents that “ were worthy of a royal bride,” and enoomiums on the “ princely munifioence and magnificent hospitality of the bride's father.” The journals of the following day tell a. widely difierent and far sadder tale. The Bullion has exploded, and Mr. Lepell has fled from the country a. b_roken-hea.rted bankrupt. The situation of the house is against it, for it is on the sunless side of Russell Square, and the internal decorations and furniture are more against it still. Every- thing in it is solid, handsome, and heavy ; the dining-room in horse-hair and mahog- any, the drawing-room in rosewood and drab damask, and the breakfast-room in everything that is not wanted in any other room in the house. A few pictures are skied on the walls of the two principal rooms, a couple plaster statues hold gas- jets in niches on the staircase, and a few huge Japanese and Chinese vases and bowls are standing about, containing a fragrant mixture of dried rose-leaves, bay salt, and herbs that are more highly perfumed in death than in life. These constitute the whole art decoration of the Mackiver man- sion, and amply express the whole art- feeling of its occu ants. “Everything for comfort and not ing for show,” is the motto, they tell Dolly, and sometimes they express a hope that when she enters the family _she will follow its example. Fortunately for the newly married pair they have a. few days of sunshine before this dire calamity is made known to them through the medium of newspapers abroad and letters from home. It is an appalling blow, and it hits them both with cruel severity. Marion's first feeling is one of anguish for herself; she has been so proud of the perfect independence which her father has promised to secure to her. New her promised fortune will be swallowed up with the rest. Her second thought, to do her justice, is for her mother and sisters. The family is not a large one. Mr. and Mrs. Maokiver, their son Ronald, and their daughter Mary are the sole members of it. That they have kept their family Within such moderate dimensions is one of the many things of which Mr. and Mrs. Mae- kiver are perhaps a little unduly proud. They are religious people, leaving every- thing to Providence verbally ; but they do think harsh things of any people who, being poorer than themselves, presume to have more children then they are satisfied with. Dolly is staying with the Maokivers, for the house in Cavendish Square has been let partially furnished, and though the Mackivera’ menage is not a very bright or pleasant one, Dolly is perfectly happy in it, for Ronald runs up from Alderahot to see her three or four times a. week. “Ohl mamma, mamma, and the poor girls,” she Bobs. “ Robert, tell me at: once, they shall live with us, shan‘t they? You will let them share my home, if you love me 7" “There’s a silver lining to every cloud indeed!“ Robert Annealey thinks, as his wife exhibits unselfiahnesa and loving anxiety for her mother and sisters when the shock of this home trouble first falls upon them. The Bullion may have exploded, but he has found real gold, he flatten-3 himself, inrthe heart of his wife. “Poor papa. l" Marian says this a dozen times during the first day or two after the sorrowful news teaches them. Occasionally too she wonders where he is, and expresses a. fervent hope that he will soon ask some of his old wealthy friends to help him out of his difficulties, and make things com- fortable for him again 1 It does not occur to the daughter of the late millionaire that these difliulties are utter ruin and commer- cial disgrace. Individually, Mr. Lepell has done nothing dishonorable, but his name has been on the direction of a. fraudulently bankrupt company, the liabilites are lim- ited, but Mr. Lepell will never hold his head up in England again. AT THE mcnmns‘. After her brother’s marriage, during the brief interval between the wedding and the news about; The Bullion becoming public property, Dolly Annealey makes an effort to carry out her brother’s latest instruc- tions by asking the Honorable Miss Thynne tofeher guest and companion 9A2 Darragh.

Then, after a. moment or two, he adds, “ But: in can’t be helped if Miss Thynna accepts the 1nvitation. I hope she won’t, for I’m oréered to Dublin and I hoped to have seen a little of Darraghâ€"the place I mean." He flushes as he Says Wfiat he ’means, and his sister asks himâ€"- “ I hope it Will make a. difference, a. very considerable diflerenoe, too,” old Mackiver says, heavily; and Ronald promises him- self .tbat if Robert Annealey ever commits the misdemeanor of wanting to borrow money of Dolly, he (Ronald) will not go to his father with 9. confession of his folly in permitting his wife to lend it. To be continued.) “ And you don’t wan’t to see Darragh, the personâ€"~18 that it Ronald ‘2” “ That’s it.” “ Is it because you don’t like her ?” He shakes his head. “ It’s not because you like her too well, I hope ‘2" she says, harshly ; but he knows that the harshness is only in the voice. and that he may safely trust her now as here- tofore. " I do like her too well to wish to see much of her; I love Dolly too well to care to run any risk of becoming interested in Darragh’s wild, beautiful. visionary ways. She's a. dangerous girl, with her mixture of native impulse and cultured repression, and I don’t won’t to be led into making a. study of herâ€"perhaps to the neglect of Dolly)"; “ Her being men-led Won’t make much difference if she wants to lend any money to her brother,” Ronald says, speaking and feeling megnnnimoualy, as it is the custom for the moat exacting, self-asserting and mercenary men to speak before the women becomes his Wife, and her money his goods and chattels, and as its is not possible for the most single-minded and unselfish man to feel after he and the woman become one, and their interests are indivisibie. “ She’asdangerousgirlif she has made you falee in your heart to Dolly, who wouldn’t break faith with a. dog, much less with 8.1mm," Miss Muokiver reyliee; and then her brother assures he: that his heart is as true as steel to Dolly,that he is delighted that his honor is irrevocably pledged to her, but as he would be dazzled by a. gorge- ous sunrise, attracted by a. shooting star, fancy-bound by a. strain of fairy music, so is he dazzled, attracted, and faucy~bound by the Irish girl, whose violet eyes hold all that is best of dark and brightâ€"of pathos, poetry, and pain, seen through a. smile that is like a sunbeam. “ Does she know you are such a weather- eog}: ?”_ Mary risky: ’He does not; like the epithet, but he wants her opinion and her help, and he knows from experience that she will give both to him, but; that she will do it in her own way. Accordingly, he does n09 resent the imputation, but answers straight to the gointâ€" “ Robert Annealey will be shackled with the whole family, and it will be well for you if he doesn’t impoverish himself, and come to his sister by and by for help,” the old gentleman says, emphatically. " For Dolly’s sake you will do well to hasten your marriage while her money is un- touched." “Hasn‘t an iaea. of it, I should say; I have never said a. wordâ€"” “ Stop! have you looked a. meaning?” “ I think not,” he falters. “Then you have, if you only think you haven’t! Ronald dear, check your thoughts, hold them in with a. good man’s etroug will for fear you become a. traitor in them to both these young ladies. Dolly is your love and I hope she’ll be your wife, and you must never look on Miss Thynn‘e face again, till you can do so as you wouldn't mind any men in the world looking on Dolly’s face; resist the temptation. If you knew that looking at a. gorgeous eun- rise would dazzle you so that you must fall over a. precipice and be broken to pieces, you wouldn’t look, would you ?" If you knew the shooting-star would lead you into a. morass from whence you’d never extri- cate youreelf, you’d shut your eyes rather then follow its course; ancl if the fairy music dulled your ears to the voice of truth and honor, you’d Elli out of hearing oi the strain? I’m sure you would, and you will do so now.” So prepared for something bad, but not for the worut that it seems possible can hap- pen to ” Mrs. Annealey’s people ;” Ronald goes into the Mid, cleanly, light little morning-room, where everything seems to be asserting that. it is meant for utility, and not; for show, and beers from his father the story of when has befallen The Bullion and Mr. Lepell. She is a. plain young woman with (lull yellow hair, freckles, and a. figure that hes more of /6119 rigidity of iron than the supple- ness of steel about it. But her brother almost warships the true womanly element in her as she speaks thus, and the devil who has been tempting him wihh uncon- scious Dartagh is so nearly exercised that Ronald believes thabit has ceased to tempt him. “ I think Derraghâ€"Mies Thnyne, I mean â€"ma.y go with Dolly, if they both hke it, Mary ; when I go there when Robert comes home my little love’e sweet brown velvat eyes shall hold a. greater spell for me than sunrises and shooting-stems. My folly is past, Mary, and thank God neither Dolly nor Darragh knows {mything of it.” “Are you sure? And they’re both women! It seems to me, that if I were Dolly or Darrsgh I’d have known fast enough," Miss Mackiver says, thoughtfully; and then Ronald wonders, as he has 0003.- sionally wondered before, whether his sister ever had a. lover’s looks levelled at her or listened to a. lover's tones. “She seems hard and uncompromising enough on the surface, but she understands the real thing, and no mistake,” the young man tells him- self. But before he cam hazard a question on this point, his mother comes in and tells them that it “18 time for them to begin expecting Dolly home." Mrs. Meokiver is one of those rigid punctualists who have a. time for everything, even for beginning to expect anything that it is in the order of things will happen. “ And before she comes, your father wants to speak to you, Ronald,” the old lady goes on; “he has seen something in the paper that will make a. great difference to the Annealeys’ worldly prospects, I’m afraid.” A Mun Who Bose Early.
