"Uncle Coleman, I am going t0 inariy Lucia Frotlnnlum T' . .,. H "Eh? What!" Uncle Coleman put down bis pewspa per, puslied his spectacles upon his fore head, and glared at his nephew. "Going to nistrry Lucia, Frot bin. am he cried, after gasping awhile in sheei? dismay. "You idiot!" ''Thanks," was the cool reply know you do not admire the' lady, bu where there is a &ti-ougjnutual jlove ' "Strong mutual fiddlestick ;' intert rupted Uncle Coleman, contetupjtuouslv "You may fove her ; she is pretty a'n tascinating, fbut what she loves is your bank account, my boy. I fcnewt would he so when your Aunt Jennie left you a cool hundred thousand, tint boys will be boys. Only, for goodness sa ce, wail a year or two before 'you saddle yourself with a wife.", ' ' '. "1 am twei ty-one.; sir, 7 (witli an lnjr mense air of dignity.) "And I am sixty-four ! New,! Frank' do hear reason. Lucia Frothingham is a fascinating woman, touching it c thir ties, if not already over the line a fin ished flirt,-and as mercenary a;i she is pretty ; I know her, apd I tell you her affection is centred upon your. At nt Jen nie's legacy, aud the million in perspec tive at my banker's" ' j "Uncle Celeman," cried his nephew hotly, "I never thought of it, much les spoke of it."- "I do not s-uppoose you eyer di Having always had an independent in come.

But Misat Froth ingham was educated in the harjl school of poverty, and a rich husbands is the prize for which she has studied and. toi el. for well, say ten years. Hhe was in society before you were done playin with tops, and marbles." "Uncle Coleman, you are speaking 6f my betrothed wife, remember." 'Hem!" . , Years"- are of no consenuencq where there is true love," "Hem !" "And I love Lucia -as she loves me "Not a bit ot it." . . -f '( .; , ; "To-morrow she goes to Saratoga, and if you can spare me I will go too)' '' And the 'business n! " Hartford ! I should advise you to attendvto all mat- . .s i i . j. ters belonging to your aunt s' estate as soon as possible, Frank." v r "It may keep me, in Hartford a month said Frank, disconsolately. ! Coleman Burke looked with, a pitt ing affection at his young relative, such a boy yet in many matters, though he had reached "man's estate." T' "A month that may settle your wbxle fortune,"-he said.' "Remember ' jmen do not fall heir to a hundred ' thousand dol lars more than once in a life timef '.- "I guppWe I must go." i "It will J be best. Besidea," added , Uncle Coleman) drjfiy-4,it will be a.( good test of your lady-love's constancy !" "I am not afraid of her forgetting me," said Frank, loftily. ''You are actually engaged? j ' ' ! '"Certainly ! I bought a diamond ring at : 's yesterday, and put it on : her taper fioger last -evening." 1 ;Heip 1 Well, t'the fbol-kifler has not been hare lately,' that is certain.. - There, bo off and . let me finish my paper in peace. : You will go to Hartford.1 ' 7 'Yes." J3ut after his nephew left him, Cole man.Bwk iotlus-fiapet 'Ije, - idly vpqxr' his apf while he feu in a fit of musing, often interrupted by impatient ejacula tions. He, wag a man as he bad said, past sixty, and had been a childless widower 'far thirty years, while four lit tle grates beside that of his, wife, re corded the; heart history of his life. When he had lived lonely a sincere mourner . for many long years his brother and wife clicd, leaving Frank, a curly headed boy, to the care of his uncle Cole man. Al the long-sealed fountains of love in the desolated heart opened to pour out their affection upon the child, lie. wast 1r uly the very sunlight of the old man's existence, and thOusr his man uer had been cynical, his heart bad been sorely wrung by the . announce ment of his engagement, but not from any paltry jealousy, or any mercenary motive,! $Iad" Frank loved a true, ten der woman, were she a beggar, his uncle would have given her a father's love and welcome. But by the light of his own brief married happiness he read the misery in. store for his nephew if he married Lucia Frothingham, a flirt, ex travagant knd selfish. 'How to save him, ivas costing the.old man torturing though f. Active opposition would only strengthen what wasjnow but a boyish infatuation, and yet; saved lie must be. Suddenly a light broke over Coleman Burke's face, and he pse from his chair and went to a long mirrpr in the room. The reflection was not calculated to waken vanity, yet the old )an smiled well ;plea8ed 'I can only carry it out, : it will be proof positive," he thought. Shor, jfat, nearly bald, with spec tacles, aud a cane, Coleman Burke was certainly a strong contrast to the tall, handsome young fellow who had won Lucia for his promised bride yet he said aloud : ! - t ' I will cut him out !" 1 A. week later all the fashionables at the C Hotel, Saratoga, icnw that Coleman Burke was intending to take a wife, j What bird first bore the news upon the scented air no one" could have .j -. ? told you, but i there was no lack of in- forniatioh about the elderly bridegroom in perspective. - Everybody (that "was anybody kaew that Coleman. Burke had retired j from business years before,, worth half a million of money, and had made fortunate invostmenti since. That he was' decked in fashion's latest styles, wore diamond studs and ring, carried a switch ca,ne drove a fine team and occu pied expensive rooms at the hotel all could see for themselves. s j Very soon after -he came, another fact was patent to all observers- that he was ! very attentive to Miss Lucia Frothingham, the belle of many sea- sens. ..:.: .. - ' " :..! lIrs. Frothingham hoped in her heart ! that Lucia would not be a fool, and would remember how far Mr. Coleman Burke's! j pocket-book outweighed his nephew ; also, that an -old man7s dar ling was far more apt to have every whim gt-atified than a young man's slave. Having delivered this maternal lecture, the widow dilated upon the expenses the Saratoga trip, and Was rather mark ed in her emphasis upon a ? speedy sub jugation of the elderly adorer. And; Miss Lucia : shrugged her fair sloping shoulders, threw , over ' them . a cloud of black- lace and descended to the pourcb, where Mr. Buike waited to escort her for a drive. His manner of wooing was certainly more bpsiaess-like than sentimental. Where Frank had grown eloquenl over the beauty of the liquid dark eyes his uncle dilated upjn the suitability of diamonds for brunette beauty. W here Frank tender! y qtiot ed poetry descriptive of the slender, grace of the willowy figure, his uncle thought velvet was the most becoming to wear for slight figures. ''.As they drove, the fat old gentleman asking her opinion of his horses, also obtaining; her description of the most suitable carraige for a lady's exclusive use. Likewise he expressed a contempt for an India shawl folded upon a seat near the lace, as one far below the quality he would purchase to deck a lady's shoulders.. "', ' Sometimes indeed, as Luciktbformed het affectionate parent, "he i3s? X " lit- tie! spooney1 pressing her hand, androl ling up his pale blue eyes over the ri,ms ef his spectacles, Ijke a fat ol po'r' notoo y - 1 '. - ' ' : J -' "' But as a rale, he was simpljf, devoted in a constant attention. A jboquet of. rare nowers in meTnoniing, tQiioweo, dj a call a drive in' the afternoon ; a walk' in the evening, or an offer of escort du ty at a ball, became .theiial daily; routine.! But the elderly wooa was an energetic and peiistjnt ofca evjen Lucia, vain of her. conquest, was bewild ered by the rapidity of the 'courting. Only a fortnight ago she hadf had but a bowing acquantance with MriK'Burke, and now he had positively offered a pa rtire of expensive cameos for ber accep tance. : ..'" .:;AS . ' ' "A letter from Frank I jComing txK day I" mused Mr. Coleman Burke, read ing an epistle handed in at jis door, ''Surprised to find me away, from home. Hopes I have seen his dearjLu'cia .in a kinder light than the one I' previously had. ' Hem yes well." ; ; And so Mr. Burke mused and mutter ed as he donned his most exquisite suit, his most dazzling neck-t:ie, and fastened a j bouquet in his button-hole. v t "Bless ray soul, Uncle Coleman, what a swell you are ?" , . I if H , A nil then Frank was In tWe room, and the two exchanged cordial greetings. "And Lucia?" Frank questioned, "is she well?" r "She was perfectly well; last evening when I took her for a drive !" "You?" ' ' ; . "Certainly. lrou do not suppose I have failed in attention to my future niece, do you ?" ' 1 j "You are ' always kinil !" wB the quick reply. , "You like her better thanj you 'did," continued Frank, almost pleadingly. ! "See here, Frank," said w the old man, suddenly wheeling; round front the glass to jace n Denmjsr. !, lye aj bargain to make with you., , If within One hour, I prove Lucia fase mercena ry and a traitor to her promise to yon, will you give her up? Stop ! , Tf she is true, loving and faithful I withdravf my harMi words, aDdwill give hor thetlove I always hoped to give your wife." "But how can you find put ?" saidf the young man, astonished at his uncle's en ergetic proposal. I ' I "It is ydu who are to find out.' If am already satisfied ! You are to!go to It he centre window of the small drawing room, on the East pourch, and listen to a conversation I am to have, bjr appoint ment, with Miss Frothingham." ". j ,-3 "Eavesdropping."; r "Never mind that grand air of con tempt. I am to have my way for just one hour, and you can take yours after wards for a life-time. Will vou co?l "It you say so." "Go, then."; 1 Just a'little later Miss Frothinghain, all smiles and white muslin, sailod ino the east drawing-room to greet Ter elder ly admirer. With an air of deepest de votion be raised her hand! to his lips and greeted her with a flowery complimet. j ,"I presume," he said, in low, tender tones, "you are at no loss to guess the reason why. I have ventured to summon you here. Y.oa must , have understood the meaning of my attentions.! Need I tell you hew -dear you have become to ne? Need I speak of, the love you have inspired ' 4Ut.l?r'"f- I "You are so kind," she murmured; "I am contemplating a speedy return to the city, and I wish to arrange tor tie wedding, if 1 ean obtain any expres sion ,of your wishes. Do "you object to an early day ?" ; S. , 4 , 4 .-t', ! "Any day will be supremely blest," she said, softly, "that imakes ' me your wife," ' ,- . V.V r. ' "My wife !

Mr. Burke,; you do not imagine have encouraged - that boy V with' Ian accent of most magnificent scorn.; ''He ia an amiable young.fellow, and T have been kind to him.
