What's keeping him?

Oh, I’ve dreamed that you and he—'’ Agnes stopped her with a kiss. Then she knelt by her chair and murmured, “Oh, Aunt Betsy, I’ve tried not to show—” But the doorbell rang and David rushed in. Then there were affectionate embraces all around and excited happy excla- mationa of greeting. When things had quieted down a bit. Aunt Betey looked at David quiailcally. ‘And what is the Important news?” David turned to her gravely and shyly. ’Tm In love, com pletely, utterly—” Aunt Betsy and Agnes ex changed a quick brief look. "With someone,’’ David went on, almost Inarticulate with emo tion, “the loveliest, the most beautiful—” h® collected him self. “her name is Dora Spen- low.’’ Agnes’ hand went to her breast. This that she had feared In her secret heart had finally happened. Sh® managed a smile, however. “I'm so glad, Davy so very glad.” David kissed 'ner. “My sister, thank you,’’ he said a little trem ulously. “Marriage is a serious busi ness, Davy.” Aunt Betsy said, getting up sharply, as though she could bear no mor® of it. Then she relented and patted hia cheek. “You’re very young, bless you! Well, I must have the pon ies home before dark. We’ll be meeting soon, David.’’ And with this she left abruptly. The sound of hammering had been coming through the win dow, and now David noticed it. “Uriah has entered into part nership with Father,” Agnes ex plained. “He’s putting up a new brass plate.” David was aghast. “That mean, fawning fellow? Worming himself into such a promotion? Your father agreed to such a step?” .A.gnes hesitated. “Father says it’s his own choice,” she said finally. “But I know that it was forced upon him.’’ “But surely he confides in you?” . Agnes shook her head. “No longer. Uriah has moved himself into father’s office and is living here.” “For some reason I cannot understand, father seems afraid of him.” An idea occurred to David. “Micawber is in his confidence. I’ll try to get at the truth through him.” But David’s talk with Micaw ber was a complete failure. When the latter realized he was being asked for information, he flatly declined to say anything furth er. Swinging about on his stool a bit, he said with dignity. “Al low me to offer a remark. I am here In B cnpeelty of tmst1|«ndj eoafidenee. I would, therefonfc take the liberty of ' snckeetfilc that, In our friendly Ihteroourae —we exclude «..the affaln of Messrs.

When the door had closed be hind her Uriah rote to hit feet. “Come fellow partner, lf,l may take the liberty,** he began, pour ing some more wine, "I'll give you one to tho dlvlnest of her sex—^Agnes — Agneo Wlckfleld.

With a terrible cry, Wlckfleld leaped to his feet. “You—.” “Wlhat’s the matter?” Uriah demanded, glaring at Wlckfleld. “You’re not gone mad, are you? I have as good a right, a better right, than any other man.” David shook Wlckfleld gently by the shoulders. “I beg you, be calm sir. Please sir.’’ Wlckfleld pointed at Uriah wildly. “I see him now for what he Is—a—”. Uriah scowled at him menac ingly. "Better stop his mouth, Copperfield, or he’ll say some thing he’d be sorry for after wards, and,” he added signifi cantly, "you’d be sorry to 'have heard.’’ Wlckfleld stared at him, then slowly subsided like a pricked balloon. It was evident be knew the meaning of the threat con tained in Uriah’s words. And Uriah, seeing his advant age, now assumed an air of \^m- posure. “Oh David, David,’’ Wlckfleld moaned brokenly. * I’ve destroy ed my own child’s happiness. Se® the ruin I have made and hate me.” And these were the last words David could draw from him on the subject. He left the house none the wiser, but with sorrow in his heart for Wlckfleld and for Agnes. It was not long before David’s wedding day rolled arounu, and from then on he took up an ex istence of happiness that seemed to be more dream than reality. He and Dora made their resi dence at Highgate. a suburb of London. There they lived in a charming, tiny cottage, covered with vines, and set in a smell garden. One snowy winter evening, he was turning the key in the lock of the door, when it was sud denly thrown open to him, and Dora flung herself into his arms with a tremendous hug. “Oh I Doady, how impatient I've been.” i She spied the small package in his hand. “How lovely! You’ve brought me a present!” David drew her close, then tilted up her small, dimpled chin. “I hope th® evening will go well and you've a good dinner for Aunt Betsy and Mr. Dick.” “Oh dear,” Dora said with a comic little grimace. “Isn’t he a tiresome Doady! Dinner’s going to be beautiful. Wlhat’s in the parcel, Doady?” “My dearest litti® wife.” David kisser her lightly. “It’s the lat est cookery book."- “Oh Doady, how clever you are. Now we can have beautiful dinners." She was glancing through the book with bright eyed Interest. “My dear love,” David said with tender reproach, “I was shocked at the butcher’s bill. Where is the account book?” “It’s somewhere, Doady,’’ Dora replied vaguely, turning a page of the book.

"I’m sure I'm very affectionate,’’ she pouted prettily. “But those fi gures are so obstinate. They will not add up. Don’t be cross, Doady,” she coaxed as David frowned. “Don’t be a naughty old Bluebeard! .Ob Doady, look at the wrinkles,” she said laugh ing and clapping her hands, for she had picked up a pencil, and playfully marked his forehead with it. He glanced in th® mir ror, and despite his previous an noyance, started laughing. And in another moment the place rang with their combined merri ment. But at dinner that night, Dav id’s worst fears- were realized. Everything that could go wrong, did. The oysters had not been opened, the roast was burnt on one side and raw on the other. Maryann, the cook, was in one of her half drunken stupors agsln, and Jip kept running around the table, snapping and barking at everyone. ‘ Finally David, exasperated be yond control, turned sharply to Dora. “Well, this is a fine din ner you’ve given us,” he said harshly. The slow tears started trick ling down Dora’s cheeks. “Oh dear, oh dear,” she sobbed, “I wish I was dead.’’ And with this she flew out the door.
