'I've done it, Glyde!' cried Ed- mund Dudley, as he entered his friend Glyde's rooms in Bond street, on a brilliant June morning. 'Do you mean to say thiit you have not had your breakfast yot ?' 'Now, don't talk, but have a kidney while its hot,' responded Glyde, pushing a chair towards his friend and indicating the dish con- taining the dainty he had mention- ed. 'No, no, my dear fellow,' said Dudley sinking into a thair, 'I can't eat.' "Can you drink?" asked Glyde laconicaly. 'Yes, I fancy so,' replied Dudley moodily. 'Then all is not yet lost. Don't how! and rail at your fate, and so on, if you can still enjoy your weed and your peg,' said Glyde. He finished bis breakfast tran- quilly, and when ho had lit bis cigar he said. 'What is it you have you done, Dudley. Murdered 'your tailor be- cause of a misfit ?' 'I've proposed to the girl I men- tioned to you,' said Dudley, almost sullenly, | Glyde gave a loud whistle. "Oh, 1 see,' he muttered; 'and and you have been accepted.' Dudley nodded, and went on smoking in silence. ¢1don'tsee, however,' said Glyde, presently, 'why you should not look at the matter more cheerfully. Ot course matrimony isa unisance because it is a tie, and one loses"the present sense of irresponsibility, which is the greatest charm of life. I think. But if you begin as you mean to go on. there is no reoson why she should be too much of a tie upon you. And then,think of the neatsum of money she represents.' 'I know, U know, said Dudley, fretfully; ¢ but just think of what all the follows will go about and say of mo everywhere--that I am mer- cenary, and that I am marrying in order to pay my debts.' ¢ And as to that, you know,' said Glyde, When men tell tho truth there is nothing--' * ¢But the point is that men, and much less women, never do tell the truth, unless it be unpleasant.' said Dudley. 'There are plenty of truths about me that I should rather like to be circiilated to society ; but depend upon it, nota word will ever be breathed but about the one inci- dent I would rather have kept quiet.' 'When did you do it?' asked Glyde. . ¢ Yesterday evening,' said Dudley, bis tone and aspect by no means those of an accepted lover. 'We were at the Pomerdys together; so so I took her into the con- servatory and swore, till I was black in the face, that my very life de- pended upon Ler answer. I thought at first that she was laughing at me; but at all events she accepted me; 0 it does not much matter whether she were laughing or not laughing.' 'But what do you suppose was ber reason for accepting you ?' said Glyde. 'I am sure I can't tell," said Dudley--* that is the most extraoi- dinary part of all.' Here Glyde burst into a hearty laugh. 'You're a convival suitor I must own,' he exclaimed, 'and [ hope--' But his aspiratios were never re-- vealed ; for at that moment a third young man entered Glyde's room, 'Glyde, I've got a little purty on to-day at Greenwich. Will you join us ?' ¢ Very sorry, dear boy,' respond- ed Glyde gravely ; * bit the calls of friendship are imperative you know. I must stand by Dudley here in his affliction.' ¢I beg your pardon, Dudley,' said the new-comer: but I did not see you at first. How do you do. What's the'matter--have you lost any one?' 'Oh, no; quite the contrary,' said Glyde; ' he's Won somoone--that is what's the matter with him. his itls in the form of matrimony; and thodgh the pill be gilded with sixty thousand pounds it sticks in his throat.

His friends) insisted on his joining the merry and not strictly reputable party at Greenwich. Dudley was presently the gayest of the gay, and soon forgot his new duties and responsibilities in the piquant coversational charm of cor- tain of his friends. i The party consisted of four mon and two women; and when they all reached the Trafalgar, and a private room was suggested, the feminine element strongly resisted the idea. 'We do not want to hide ourselves' cried Mdlie. Tata, 'Nor our cavaliers,' said Mdlle. Toto. So a table was taken in the public room by the wall aiid near the win- dow. The ladies having divested themselves of their wraps, seated themselves at the table, and prepar- ed to have a 'good time.' Russell, and his bosom friend Hobson, who were the hosts, ordered a considerable quantity of wine; and jokes were falling so thick and fast that the laughter of tho pirty at- tracted general attention. At one moment there was a sudden influx of visitors; and Dudley who was bending towards Mdlle Tata with great empressement, did not notice the new arrivals as they entered.-- He was sitting with his back to the public, and consequently could see very little of that which was going on in the room. By Jove! what a handsome girl!' cried Russell, who was opposite Dudley, as he looked straight over Dudley's shoulder. The other men signifying their concurrence in the opinion, Dudley looked round. ) His face fell considerably as he recognized in the object of his friend's admiration Beatrice Lovel, his betrothed! She was alone, with her father only a yard or two off; and as he realized this bewildering state of thihgs his eyes met hers and sho smiled and bowed, while he re- sponded with an awkward nod, mut. tering to himself that he was the anlackiest dog alive. From that moment all Dudley's vivacity and enjoyment were over. He exerted himself by tits and starts to talk and laugh. He tried to re- sumo his jokes and absurdities, he was assiduous in passing the wine, he paid the most forced compliments to his pretty ncighbor, he related the wildest anecdotes; but there was no real animation in it all, and the boisterous party soon began to joko him about his digression. 'Dudley, you must have scen a ghost,' said one. 'Or a creditor,' said another. 'Or the pater,' suggested a third. 'Perbaps Mr. Dudley thinks his wife is not far off,' bazarded Mdlle. Toto, with a malicious smile. 'Impossible, I assure you,' began Dudley. ¢ Because ho is not married yet, added Glyde, signifieantly. 'I see,' said Mdlle. Tata, 'then perhaps he has seen a vision of the chosen fair one. That would, of course, be very terrible, especially if Mr. Dudley were considering matrimony as a genteel form of bankruptcy.' There wis a general laugh at Mddle. Tata's speech, and Dudley muttered to himself that they were all deucedly ill-bred, and that he was deucedly sorry that he had ever consented 'to join the expedition. His game was, of course, entirely up; Miss Lovel would never forgive him--women were invariably severe on such matters--the sixty thousand pounds bad disappeared, as far as he was concerned, and not only was he distressed about the money, but he felt as well a vague and lingering regret which he would have been puzzled to define. What could he do to mend matters ? ho asked him- self again and again. Ho could not leave his party and join the Liovels, to begin with, it would te mon- strously ill-bred on his part; also Miss Lovel would certainly not re- ceive him well, and he should only be laughed at generally. Yet it would be decidedly unpleasant to sce her leave thé room with her father and to know that she had made up her mind to: throw him over. He was utterly bewildered, and in order to get rid of the tire- some influence of these thoughts he helped himself copiously to cham- pagne and certainly succeeded in making his troubles seem lighter. at the neighboring table bad been by no means unobservant, She and her father had only been seated a few minutos when she leaned across to him and dsked-- * Do you see. whom we have to us, papa dear?' on enteriig the room, but would not just now, papa dear,' replied the In the meantime, the young lady which he made his fortune, had seen his futdre son-in law immediately have drawn his daughter's attention to the fact, 'Well, yes, thy dear, I do see,' he answéred now. ¢ But what's to be dono papa ?' en quired Miss Lovel, +1 cat Bardly say hardly say, answered Mr. Lovell tentatively, "What do you think of it?' ¢I think, then, we won't talk of it young lady decisively, 'you shall have your dinner in peace and we will return to the subject after the whitebait.' So be it,' said Mr. Lovel, nothing loth; and the father and daughtor went very tranquilly through the lengthy list of dishes, disturbed only now and then by the boisterous merriment at the tablo beside them. When the four successive dishes of whitebait had been placed before them, and the exquisite fish in their different dresses had been duly tasted, Beatrice Lovel said quietly to her father-- '1 hope you don't feel very angry with Mr. Dudley, papa, because of his being with party--a very mixed party is it not? 'Well my child, the party certain: ly is mixed--indeed, excessively mixed--and I am afraid there is very little character to epeak of at the table,' xeplied Mr. Dudley, glancing discreetly at Dudley's companions as he spoke, ¢ still I am not so irate at Mr. Dudley's bebavior as some persons might be. You see, young men will be young men. But I wouldn't have you distress yourself on tho subject. Young men are led into such things without thinking.' I know, papa,' said Miss Lovel, ¢and that is why I am not inclined to be so severe. The thing is, that it we are judicious, we may save him trom futare harm.' «God bless my soul!' exclaimed Mr. Lovel, looking up at his daugh- ter in amazement, 'I never heard sash a generous speech come from a woman before.' z ¢ But do you think I am wrong, papa?' asked Miss Lovel. ¢ Certainly not, my dear,' replied her father; 'I think that if women could more often be as liberal, young men would not be so unmanageable. Still I don't quite understand what you see in young Dudley to induce you to overlook so much.' «My dear papa,' said, Miss Lovel, ¢I was interested in him -when I first met him, because I thought there was something in him--some- thing good in his nature--and I de- vised a Jittlescheme by which I Hope to do him agenuine service that will be of servive throughout life. You have allowed me to do as I liked-- havo youn not ?--and now I am going to surprise you.' Mr. Lovel shrugged his shoulders and shook his head and smiled in- dulgently at his daughter. She was an odd person, he was in the habit of saying; and bad many whims and fancies. by Presently the moment came when Mr. Lovel and his daughter had finished their dinner. 'Now my dear what do you pro- poso to do,' said Mn. Lovel. 'Are you going to leave young Dudley here ?' 'Why no, papa,' said Beatrice. ¢You wouldn't have me go and fetch him. We must leave directly and we can drive back to town be- fore datk.' As she spoke she rose, and the party opposite had a fall view of her tall slight figure and handsome hoad. Dudley's heart sank as he heard the comments of his temporary friends. For a moment or two be saw the waiters bowing and making way, he heard the rustle of &ilk, the inde- scribable frou frou of a woman's skirts, and in desperationi he looked up and met the dark eyes of bis be= thing of the expression that had puzaled him during the interview vatory. She smiled and bowed followed by her father. exclaiming-- {WHOLE NO. 1 disconnected with the business in |appearances i direction, Mademoisolle Too signific trothed fixed upon him with somes with her in Mrs. Pomeroy's conser- again and passed out of the room Men are more friendly to each other than are women, and Glyde, by this time guesing the position of affairs, came to Daudley's rescue, her willingness to dispense with h company in toto, Dudley muttered & fow apologetic words and made esctipe. He folt excoedingly foolish when he reached the broad doorway. Miss Lovel and her father were standing there wating for the carri- age to draw up, and ho was consci= ous that his face was fiused and that he was not so clear headed as he might have been. As Miss Lovel turned to greet him, he heartily wished himself back beside Madems oiselle Tata in the dining room. 'I am glad you contrived to come and say a fow words,' she said smil. - ihyg brightly, and noting the young m:n 8 disturbed appearance, ¢ You 'are a gay party, are you not ?* ¢ Very gay indeed, I should say,' muttered Mr. Lovel, who thought it his duty to be somewhat severe.-- ¢ Here is the carriage, Beatrice.' 'I am ready, papa.' she replied -- 'It's a pity we can't drive you back with us, Mr. Dudley. I hope you will get home safely,' she added with an expressive glance. . He muttered a few unintelligablé words as he handed her into thé carriage, and be heartily wished he could go back with her as she sug- gested. Then wher she leant out of tho carriage to "give him her hand and to murmur in a low voice, 'you will come and see me to-morrow, will you not, Edmund? some strange expression stirred within him and found expression oa his face and Miss ILovel saw she had produced the effect she desired. When, the next afternoon, Glyde rottirnied, after his drive, to his rooms in Bond street, in order to dress for dinner, he found Dudley sitting by the open window. 'Well, Dudley, what's tho matter now ?' he exclaimed. 'Have you had too flerce a fire about your head respecting yesterday's joke ? When a friend displays such assiduity in his visiting one always knows there is something wrong. What has happened. You can tell me while I dress; but you muét not be too diffuse, for I must bein Cleaveland square by eight o'clock.
