The Count did not leave as. he had intended, but every day found him at Minnie's side, meeting with no encouragement however, save that prompted by a kindly feeling for one so like, and yet so unlike another she deeply loved. Count Hubert's visit the morning before, was spent in the library with Judge Wright. As soon as he left, the Judge sent for Minnie. " Well," said he, in his jolly good natured way, when she came in, " I have a most delightful little piece of business on hand this morning ! You are aware no doubt, of the fact that the nobility are generally great believers in dolce far nie nte, and even do their love mak ing by proxy, and as it was entirely a new piece of business for the Count, he .1, i i . Uiis me ne nas met witn poor success. He has deputized to me the delightful task of making love to you ; so I sent for you this morning to offer you the veritable red-headed Count, title nd all bona Jide, and I hope,'' added he mer rily, " that you will take into considera tion the great pleasure it will, afford me to have you for a neighbor." Minnie laughed; and said, - " If you endorse the Count, it might indeed have more weight, but you re member our conversation before on this subject, my kind friend." " Yes,'' he replied gaily, ' you said your price was a heart, and I am sure Count Hubert has manfully surrendered htS. i jr.;-' f " I am afraid it has been bit at many times befor?.,,, , t , - i , " But," said the Judge, " I urge as a friend that you let not your incredulity on that score, effect your future so greatly, Think of hi hl-h Vtlon and wealth." Yes, but I am not pennyless, and I don't know that he can exalt my posi tion so much." , iiv ii al .W ' -m " Well, repiieu tne Judge, "you know la bean monde thinks highly of a title and to show how much in earnest the Count is, he told me that should you not give him an affrmative answer now.I must not take no 1 He will not have a decided refusal, that he will return in !ess than a year to press his suit. In deed I have never seen such infatuation and you know I predicted it" " " Yes. said 3Iinnie and you had my opinion then as now. Ao redJieaded a Coqnt for m" Ah y laughed the Judge, much amusod. 4i A1ien avomaa will, she will, You mav det)end on it ; AVhen she wont, she wont, So there's an end on it 1 Count Hubert leaves this evenincr. and I am going over to bid : him good-Ly. AVill deliver your tmswei ver6af tm, or do you prefer writing it?" u No, let it end tight here. You can tell him I decline the honor he offers me, had he come some months earlier I it might at least have considered the prop osition. :TelHiini,'she continued, softly lifting her bright eyes and blushing in- spite of herself, iS he came too late' The good Judge placed his hand on her head and said. May God bless you my child, - and grant you may never regret your decis- ion. r Tulela Tremout and brother left next morning accompanied by Ross Raymond, who went off in a fit of pique, liaviug failed in an other attempt to renew . his engagoment with Minnie. Ed Tremont had also found that al birds could not be caught with chuff, and consoled himself with the; thought) what a great pity it would be to deprive the market of such a catch as lie himself was. :-v . . , " Minnie," said Xita, the last eve ning of their stay at 'Wright Villa, "the Count has gone for good now, lets walk oei mciu iuus evening, x icei iikg pan- i x i ii - t n . ing with ono of my best friend, iudtHnl 1 believe I owe to Glenburnne my great est happiness." " Well, I should like to go, mv asso ciations with the place are also very pleasant, I did really like Count Hu bert." " I was surprised at your refusing him, if you love any one else however I am not, for I would not give Tom for all the Counts in the Uuiverso !" She was stauding at the library win dow and turned as an arm was passed a around her. She heard Minnie's teas ing lattgh, and caught a glimpse only of her merry face as she closed the door. And Tom drew her to him and pressed his first kLss upon her pure brow. ': Xita my own darling ! I will brave the contempt of the. Universe and e en risk being branded by it as a fortune hunter, for such happiness." Girls !" burst Annie into the room, " Car! Drayjon has come back ! Oh! I thought Minnie was in hiire." c " Weil," said Xita, " I am glad." " So am I," said Moore, " Drayton is a capital fellow,";,. Soon Carl Drayton was cordially wel comed back by the entire household. but Minnie in the privacy of her own room was trying to hush the loud beatings of her heart and still the tremor of her limbs, 6he .fully expected to meet him again in the city but his return there was so sudden that it had agitated her considerably. The dinner 'dressing bell brought up Annie and Xita. " Let's dress , said Annie, " with a view to our walk." , , , , So when dinner was announced they had completed a most becoming Uilet Upon entering the drawing room Carl Drayton advanced to meet Minnie, who received him quite pleasan tly, and ap parently self-possessed. CoL Ray had also come over, and it a was a merry party still; inspite of the absent tour. ., . . When they spoke of their oontem- plated walk Mrs. Wrio-ht said she was there and back would fatigue 'them too much. It was finally J decided that they should ride. At the propor time three light bug gies awaited their pleasure. Annie and Cob Ray took the lead, Tom and Xita were about starting when 31 in nie went out. Surely they were in a great hurry," she said with a pout, as Carl . assishfed her in the buggy. " Forgive me, he said, " if I have made a mistake, I managed it so as to be left to go with you. I thought that ;. -i t , . in mc anptace ti Avavmona a ia tna Count, maybe you would not care. , Minnie glanced at him and said dy- w-w w w . ell, under tne orcumstanocs it don't matter much." ? A smile curved his perfect mouth, and he asked, Dont matter much that they arc absent,or matters not that I am with you ?" u Well both," she said laughing " IX) you know what brought me back ?- " Xo, how should I ?' jiieiraosence. iray: nat had that to do with , " I thought that you were engaged Raymond when I left." " What undeceived you T " A letter from a friend the day after I left, and yesterday I met Raymond, who told me you had sent him . Where I know you will never follow," he said laughing. They had reached the gate of the avenue, and as they dashed through, the delicate breexe played hide and seek through her silky curls, as did the dim ples round her mouth. Drayton thought her so beautiful ; and his large brown eyes showed so plainly what he thought, that Minnie's color grew brighter, while she asked with a little laugh, "Did you ever see Count Hubert ?' " 1 saw him just in time to bid him farewell." " I think there is a sinking resem blance between you and the Count.' " Ah 1 indeed ! no one cl.se has corn- i . i.i: xi .i -r- iiiuiciiicu me mus. i am sure my head is notmZ," lifting his soft hat and passing his white well shaped hand through a mass of broiiZixl 'rings. " Xo not exactly,' she waid wicked ly glancing through' her long Luhes at his beautiful head, at thesametime fiud- ing out that the absence of his muathc had alterel his appearance while an ex pression of hope had brightened the face she last parted with. " Did his unfortunate resemblance to myself, cause you to treat him as you did me?" " Well," laughed she, ': I should not wonder if the thought of you had some thing to do with it, for his eyes con stantly remiaded me of you. , : But I don't wear spot-tat-leV he iu tcrruitted., ' . . ' No, but they were au euldition . to his appearance," she said wickedly, .They had reached Glenbuniue aud as they joined the others Annie said, " Mr. Drayton, you don't know what you missed by not being here to the F etc and Ball. We all agree that we enjoyed it more than all our other en tertainments put together." , . 'And' laogbed Xita, 'you re member MinniVa vow about dancing, she was the very first one Le asked.' les,' said Tom, "aid tbe best dancer I ever saw except vou Diarr- tot.." . . ... C arl imiled, ' remember how con- earned Tremont was about gettiug op a danang fore. It seems that Ceunt Hubeit wai able and Killing to do bis own daucing. ' t . ' Yea Sir-ee ' laughed Tom, taking Xita'e hand and leading her down tbe steps, soon followed by Col. Rat and Annie.' Drayton raid, "I wonder If we can get into the eall, I ahould like very much to tee some of tbe family por traits as I am laid to' resemble them. Minnie "laogbed, VI ogbt to be aahamed to speak of the Count per- son1 PPrnc I bare, to say that Do Dot handsome is tb very least that n tril- laut mind, and is exceedingly gra:e- ful in manners, I did really like him., iblance U myself t him? asked Carl Ws his . resem particularly agains ringing me nan ieuf wnicit was soon answered by the porter.

She laughed sweet ly, and as be . imprisoned both little hands, the hid her face on his shoulder, faying bewitchingly, ' don't you know?' Drayton sprang up and drawing her from tbe chair, holding both bands in a tight grasp, said passionately " Oh ! don't even for oue instant let the hap. piness of such hope, flow to my heart to recede in a tide of despair, it would be greater torture than tho waves eb bing from the-thirsty Tautalc".
