What do young men talk abonti when they sit at open windows smoking on summer evenings I Do you suppose it is love ? Indeed, I suspect it is money ; money, then at least of ot if Rot something that either makes money or spends it. ; CleVe Sullivan had been ppend ing his time for lour years in En ropes and has itist been telling his j friend John how he spent it. John has spent his in iNew lork he is inclined to think just as profitably. Both 6tories concludec in the same way. "I have not a thousand (lolls ars left, John." "Nor I, Cleve." "I thought your cousin died two years ago surely yon have, not spent all the old gentlemau's mon ey already ?" "I only got $20,000; I owed half of it." "Only $20,000 ! What did he do rt ith it ?" "Gave it to his wife. Jle mar ried a beauty about a year after 3'ou went uway, died in a few months afterward and lett her his whole fortune. 1 had no claim on him. He educated me, gave me a profession and $20,000. That was very well j lie was Only my mother's cousin.5' "Am! the widow where is she ?" "Living at his country seati I have never seen her. She was one ot the St. Maurs, of Maryland." "Good family and all beauties.--WIi3- don't yon marry the widow I" "Wh', 1 never thought of such a thins;." "Von can't think of anything better. Write her a little note at once ; say that yon and I will soon be in her neighborhood, and that gratitude to your cousin, and all that kind of thing then beg leave to call and pay respects, etc., etc." John demurred a good deal to the plan, but Cleve was masterful, and the note was written, Cieve hm.6elf putting it into the post of fice. That was on Monday night. On Wednesday morning the widow Clare ft nnd it with a dozen others on the bl'eakfitst tabic. She was a dainty, high bred little lady, with "Eyes that drowse with dreamy splendor Cheeks with rose-leaf timings tender, Lips like fragrant posy." And, withal, a kind and hospitable temper, well inclined to bo huppy in the happiness of others. Tint tin letter could not be an swered with the nsnal polite formu la. Siio was quiie aware that John Seidell bad regarded himself tor many years as his cousin's heir, and that her marriage to the late Thomas Clare had seriously altered his prospects. " Women easily sec through the best laid plnns of men, and his plan was transparent enough to the shrewd little widow. John would scarcely have liked the half contemptuous shrug and smile winch tcrininatea her thoughts on the matter. "UlementinCj if jotl could spate a moment from your fashion paper, I want to consult you, dear, about a visitor." Clementine slowly raised her bine eyes, dropped the paper and said, "Who is itj Fan ?" "It is John Selden. If Mr. Clare had not married me, he would have inherited the Clare estate. I think he is coming now in order to see if it is worth while asking for, en cumbered bv his cousin's widow." "What selfishness ! Write and tell him that you are just leavinir for the Suez canal, or the Sandwich Islands) or any other inconvenient place.' "No; 1 have a better plan than that Clementine, do stop reading a few minntes. I will take that pretty cottage at Reyebank for the summer, and Vlr. Selden and his friends shall visit ns there. No one knows us fn the place, and Is will take none ot the servants with tuc.' "Well?" - v. "Then, Clementine, yon are to .1 ITT I tl V ue the vv iaow uiare, and l yonra poor tnend and compar-ion." "Good I very good! The Fair Deceivers' an excellent comedy, llow 1 shall snub you, Fan ! And tor once I 6hall have the pleasure of outdressing yon. But has not Mr. Selden "ever seen voti ?" l'l "No; 1 was married in Marv land and went immediatfijy to ..Eu rope. 1 came back a widow two years ago, but Mr. Selden has uev er remembered me nntil now". 1 I wonder, who this J'riend" is that he proposes to bring Avrth.him J" n "Oh, men always think in pairs, Fan, They never decide on any thing rintil their particular friend approves. I dare say they wrote tlie letter together. What is the gentlemen's name ?" The widow examined the tlote. "My friend, Mr. Cleve Sullivan. Do yon know him, Clementine ?" "No; 'I am quite, sure that I never saw Mr. Cleve Sullivan. I don't fall in love with the name do you But pray accept the of fer for both gentleiiictij Fan) and write this moimiug, dear." Thin Olementfhe returned to the consid eration of the lace in coquilles for her new evening dress. The plan 6o hastily sketched was subsequently thoroughly discussed and carried out. The cottage at Kyebank was taken, and one even ing at the end of June the two ladies took possession of it. The new Widow Clare had engaged a maid in New York, and tell into her part with charming ease, and a very pretty assumption of her au thority ; and the real widow, in her plain dress and pensive, quiet man ners, realized effectively the idea of a cultivated but dependent com panion; They had two days in which to rehearse their parts and get all the household machinery in order, and then the gentlemeu ar rived in Ryehank. Fan and Clementine were quite ready for their first call ; the latter in a rich and exquisite mourning costume, the former in a simple dress of spotted lawn. Clementine went through the introductions with consummate ease of manner, and in half an hour they were a pleasant party. John's 'consulship' afforded j an excellent basis for informal com panionshrp, and Clementine gave it full prominence. Indeed, in a few days John began to find the relationship tiresome ; it had been 'cousin John do this,' and 'cousin John, come here,' continually, and one night when Cleve and ho sat dowi. to smoke their final cigar, he was irritable enough to give his j object ions the form of speech. "Cleve, to tell yon the honest truth. I do not like Mrs. Clare." 'I h Iiink she is a very lovitu wo man, John. T cuv lirtliinrr orr-tincf lior Knfln. tj7, Cleve ; I don't like her, and I have no mind to occupy Ihe place that beautiful ill-used Mi:'s Marat tills. The way Cousin Clare ig nores or snubs a woman to whom she is every way inferior makes me angry enough, I assure yon." "Don't fall in love with the wrong woman, Jobm" "Y'oilr advice is too late, Cleve ; I am in love. There is no use de ceiving ourselves or each other. You seem to like the widow why not marry her ? I am quite will iug yon should." "Thank you, John ; I have al ready made -some advances that way. They have been favorably received, I am thinking. ' "Yon are 60 handsome, a fellow has no chances against yen. But we shall hardly quarrel, if you do not interfere between lovely little Clement and myself.'' ''I could hot afford to smile on her, John ; she is too poor. And what on earth are yon going to do with a poor wife ? Nothing added to nothing will not make a decent living." "1 am going to ask her to bo my wife, and if she does me the honor to say, 'Ye,' I 'will make a decent living out of my profession." From this timo forth John de voted himself with some ostentation to his supposed cousin's companion. lie was determined to let the wid ow perceive that he had made his choice, and that life could not be bought with her money. Mr. Sel den and Miss Marat were always together, and the widow did not interfere between her companion and her cousin. Ferhaps alio was rather glad of their close friendship, for the handsome Cleve made a much - more, ''. delightful attendant. Thus the party leu quite naturally into couples, and ihe two weeks that the gentlemen had first fixed at the limit of their 6tay lengthened into two months. It wae noticeable that as the ladies became more confidential wilh their lovers, they had lees to say to each ether ; and it began at last to be quite evident to the real widow that the play ninst end for the prBcnt; on .the dehpunejfteiit vronld come prematurely. Circum stances favored her determination. OneOiigbf Clemtnitu'e; with a.- rai diant faee,came into her friend's room, ancK said :il fafij T have has asked me to marry him V . ; . "Now, Clement, you have told h'"m all ; I know you have." .. "Kot.a word. Fan: ;Ila stilLbo lievcB me the Widow, Clare." "Did yon accept him ?" . . ; . i: "Conditionally; : I am to! give him a final answer when wq go, to the city in October. You are going to iNew lorK this winter-are you not ?" , ., i. -;; - ... "Yes. Our little play , progresses finely . John Selden asked me.4o bo his ift Jo-tight."-: -.!;;.'; "1 told you that men thinks and act in pairs. "John is a noble fellow. I pre tended to think his cousin had :n i ui-ri treated him, and he defended him nntil I was ashamed ot myself; he j absolutely said, Clement, that yon j were a snfficiont excuse for Mr.) Clare's will. Then lie blamed his I own past idleness so much, and . promised, it I would only try to j endure 'the slings and arrows' of your outrageous temper for two years longer, he would have a home made for me in which I could be happy. Yes, Clement, I should marry John Selden if we had not five dollars between us." "I wish Cleve had been a little more explicit about his money af fairs. However, there is time enough yet. When they leave to morrow, what shall we do " "We will remain here another month ; Levinc will have the house ready for me by that time. I have written to him about refurnishing the parlois." So the. next day the. lovers de parted, with many ' promises of constant letters and future happy days together. '- Hie interval was long and dull enough; but it passed, and one morning both gentlemen received notes of invitation to a smnll dinner partr at the AVidow Clare's mansion in ;trcct. There was a good deal of dre.sing for this party. Cleve wishing to make his entrance into his future homo as became the prospective master of a million ' and a half of money, aud Jehn was desiriotis of not suffering in Clement's eyes hy any comparison with the other gentlemen who would probabh be there. Scarce had they entered the drawing room when the ladies ap peared, the true Widow Clare no longer in the umssuming tiolet she had hitherto worn, but magnifi cent in white crepe lisse and satin, her arms and throat and pretty head flashing with sapphires and diamonds. Her companion had assumed now the role of simplicity., and Cleve was disappointed with the first glance at her plain white Chambery gauze dress. John had seen nothing but the bright face of the girl he loved aud the love light in her eyes. - Before she could speak he had taken both her hands and whispered, "Dearest and best and loveliest Cicmment." Ilcr smile answered him first. Then she said 2 "Pardon me, Mr. Selden, but we have been in mas querade all summer, and now wo m.ist unmask before real life begins, iiiy name is 1101 viemcnnne icarai, but Fanny Clare. Cousin Joint) 1 hope you are not disappointed." Then she put her baud into John's, and they wandered off' into the conservatory to finish their expla nation. Mr. Cleve Sullivan found himself , . .1. at that moment in the most trying circumstances ol ins Hie. ihe re Cleinei'tiiiR Ma rut fctood l..lriiij down at a flower on the carpet and and evidently expecting him to re -I 1 a .

He was a man of quick de-J cisions where his own interests were concerned, and it did not take him half a minute to review his positon and determine what to do. This plain blonde girl, without fortune, was not the girl he could marry ; 6he hal deceived him, too he hail a sudden and severe spasm of mor ality ; his confidence was broken ; he thought it was very poor sport to ptay with a man s most sacrc feedings ; he hud Ix.-eu deeply dis appointed and grieved, etc.- Clementine stood perfectly Still with her eves fixed on the carpet and her checks gradually flushing, as Cleve made his awkward accu sations. She gave him no help atr.l she made no defense, and , it soem becomes embarras&ing for a man to eland in the middle of a large drawing-room, and talk to huB8e4f fcbonf. any girl.

She has lived with Mrs. Selden ever since she left school; the3' were friends when t hey were girls together." . Cleve gathered up his reins, and nodding to Mr. Frank Belmar, drove at a liuahlc rate up the avenue and through the park. lie could not trust! hiiuscl' to speak to any one, and when he did, the remark which he made to himself in str:ct confidence was not flattering, yor once Mr. Cleve Sullivan said to Mr. Cleve Sul livan that'he had been badly punished, aud that he well deserved it.
