rapidly, anal people exaggerated the

friends sprang up on every side.

more than ever tho ceuier of attrac

Mr. Meri vale began to plan chin
gee on a grand' scale. A lot was
purchased uxt to Robertson's and
preparations weie made for the erec

I here were to be - earn ajes, ser-
vauts, graveled walks, hor es, dogs,
louniains in short, all the attri

Uue day, after a long interview
with hia wife Mr. Men vale sum
moned Kace. "1 wish to talk with
you , about that fellow tloburtou,
said lie. "You do not suppose, now,
that he will try jo .hold you to the
eugagemeut, do you ? he inquired
nervously.
, " hat 1" exclaimed the daughter,
reddening ; "do you mean that he
should forsake me because we have
been fortunate?"
"I ! mean," returned the father
more coolly, "that since our circum
stances have materially changed we
should regulate our&alves according-

No one should ever marry below his

aud those who were ouce our socta
equals are no longer so." Personally,
Uooitrtoii is an estimable vounsr fel
low, but 1 must insist that the pro
jee ted alliance be broken off at once."
If Hate gave her father a look of
scorn, it was lost to him, for he con
tinued without looking up :
