These exclamations the former in a tone of tearful entreaty, the latter in de lighted surprise burst simultaneously from the two young people who faced each other across an apartment which was half parlor, half workroom and evidently the abode of a bachelor. "I couldn't stand it any longer, Jack," the girl went on to say. after certain tender passages. "Mother has made my life a burden, with 'Dr. Kerr this." and 'Dr. Kerr that' ... 'a most eligible man, desirable partner,' and so on. Sh is quite under his influence; and, if I stayed at home, he'd influence me. too, against my will, for there's something about him tha.t fascinates as well as re pels me. He reminds me ftf a hand some boa-constrictor. Let's eret married at once, dear, and face the future to gether. I am a careful little housewife, and I could do something to swell the income till your position improves." Jack, otherwise Mr. Johr Ludlow, looked a little blank lor a moment, then a smile lit up his face, and he said. "What a little goose it is! I'm anxious enough to be mated, goodness knows, but people can't be married at an hour's notice, even with the Bank of Knertfind at hack of them." Then, noticing the trifl's heightened color and distressed expression, he: added, "But love will find out a way, as the oid son-r says. I've an aunt, a dear old soul: I'll take you to her. She lives not far awav, at Brompton, and we'll be married imme diately on my return." "On your return! Where are you go ing:, Jack?" "Stupid of m-e; but your advent has sent my wits woolgathering, and I haven't told you of a slice of pood luck ti'r.t will put us above daily worries about the butcher, baker, and ca-Tile-stkk-nviker. A firm that I have done s me lf siins for have employed me to KO over to Paris for the exposition to attend to a shew of art metal work, for the first month. The honorarium is a liberal one, and they have promise t to find me .permanent employment after ward here. What do you think of that?" "O. Jack, it sounds delightful! You're not telling me this to cheer me up I'd I rather face the truth." "It's a decided f?.rf, darling: I start tomorrow, and they have advanced me 25 toward expenses. L"t rr? give you some; I shall get on all rigrht." "No. dear: not a penny. I've brought .my own little savings, and my poit "manteau is at the lusgage cfli -e. I o uldn't bring more tway, but mother will come round to the inevitable an! send my belongings and a!! she can snare. I feel sure. Things lave come ri;.fht f jr us. Jack." ' "Yo-i aie certainly a courageous and optimistic little person." sail the young fellow with enUtusir.sm. "Now come along at once; we'll get your luggage, have something to eat. and give aunt a surprise. I must telegraph to your mother, too." "I left a little note," said the girl, -with tears in her eyes. "Poor mother; I hope she won't be very uni appy over it, but really I couldn't endure the doctor." "She'll take, it in the right spirit. We shall have a scolding, and then things n ill settle down." But Mrs. Devon's mood, when she had lead her daughter's farewell epistie and the lover's explanatory letter, was far from kindly. She apostrophized Maggie as u "silly ar.d audacious little chit." and Jack as a "penniless adenturer."ai..1 resolved to break oft the match without scandal, if possible, during the lover's sojourn on the continent. Her thoughts turned to Dr. Kerr as an ally, and sha sent for that gentleman when her mind was fully made up. The doctor1 very soon put in an ap pearance, for- his friend's hastily sor, ta bled note, "Maggie left home. Want, your advice and help, please," aroused, very mixed feelings in his breast. He was a tall, rath'-r imposing-looking man, undeniably handsome after his style, and 1 he re was much power behind the small, steady yes eyes which had earned tor him Maggie's title of "boa-contrictor." "Oh, Dr. Kerr! I'm so glad you've come; please read this," said Mrs. Devon as she put Jack's letter into his hands "Delighted to be of set vice," answered the doctor. "I'm determined that the marriage shall not take place. I d..- not believe the tale about 'regular employment, ' a,rd . so or,; these unsuctersLUl uuuoors are mendacious to a degree." "I gather that the gentleman is an ar tist," the doctor observed. "He calls himself one. Yonder is his portrait of Maggie. I've turned the faca to the wall, you see. I can't bear the sight of it." "There's a photograph of him in the album, opposite to one of my daughter, if you care to st?e it." Mrs. Devon said, still in great irritation. Kerr took up the album, found the your.gr fellow's likeness, and studied it so long that his hostess began to lose pat ience. 1 "You seem attracted, Dr. Kerr," she said, fanning herself vigorously; "I hope his 'good looks' which do not appeal to my notion, I may say have not be witcheel you as they have Maggie." "Nothing of the kind, I assure you." retorted Kerr, blandly; "but I seem to have a sort of recollection of the face. I trust that I am mistaken, for the rec ollection scarcely does the original cred it." j "Oh!" cried Mrs. Devon, impulsively, "my poor girl. Doctor, you'll help me ro fight against her infatuation, will you not?" "With all my heart, provided that my memory has played me no trick. May I take this portrait for a day or two to attempt to verify the recollection?" "By all means, Oh, I'm so glad I sent for you, and Maggie will learn to thank you for saving her from this designing person." That young lady was uncomfortably surprised to see Dr. Kerr ushered in. a week or so after her flight. "He's senc to fetch me back." she thought. "Well, I'm of age. and he dare not use force. We shall see." "You see in me, Miss Devon," said the dex-tor, "a man charged with an un pleasant though kindly mission." "I'm not ooming back," Maggie broke in, rebelliously. Kerr's face took on a pitying expres sion, and he said in his most quiet and impressive manner, "I sincerely regret to have to destroy your romance. Miss Devon, for I know your lovable and trusting disposition. Will you oblige me by looking at this? It is a snapshot ta ken at Brighton by a friend of mine." He handed her a carte-de-visite as he spoksf. 1 Maggie took the picture, and, as she scanned it. every particle of color faded gradually from her face. It was Jack her Jack seated in a nook on the beach end beside him was a very pretty, though pert-looking girl, and his am. was round her waist. Kerr kept a discreet silence, and look ed steadily out of the window. "I am reiady to accompany you. Dr. Kerr," said the girl, suddenly, in a bro ken voice; "but the lady of the house must never know of her nephew's per fidy. That carte must have been taken almost at the same time as another which he sent to me in the summe". Cruel, unmanly deceiver." "It was seeing his portrait in vour al hum that enabled me to perform you this service," Kerr said, kindly. "I you will allow me, I will make a suitable ex planation to the aunt, without any ref erence to this incident." Jack's aunt, Mrs. Solly, the dear old soul, as he had fittingly described her, scarcely knew w hat to naake of the girl's sudden resolve, but Kerr's dipltvmatic statement that the mother thought her daughter's marriage should take place at home appealed to her respectable ideas of the fitness of things, and she offered no objection when Maggie kissed her and stated that she would acquaint Jack tvy letter. It was a bitter home journey for the girl; wounded pride, and worse wound ed affection, inducing a state of mind which was pitiable. But Korr behaved with the utmost tact and generosity, and Maggie thought more gratefully of him than she had believed possible. The letter she wrote to her old sweetheart was brief. It ran: "I have changed my mind, and am at home again. I wish you to understand that all is over between us. M." This came like a thunderbolt on Jack at a most busy and profitable time. His first thought was to throw over the concern and go home for an explanation. Then the specter of the old barren time stared him starkly in the face, and he hesitated. Finally he wrote a simple, manly letter, which was worded so: "My Dear Maggie Your cold and cruel note has tried me sorely at this time and distance. Do ycu really mean what you say, and am I not worthy an ex planation? I do not recognize your dear sell in the words at all, and feel sure you have been worked upon to write them. But I am still ihe same, and do not intend to give you up. unless you have really ceased to care for me. Write, my darling, and tell me more. Always your own, JACK." This communication, with the fatal portrait in her possession. simply aroused the girl's contempt, and outraged her every feeling. She burned the letter straightway, and did not reply to it. Things went very smoothly for Dr. Kerr within the next fortnight. He wisely did not attempt to press his woo ing, knowing well that a deceived wo man at such a time i3 better won with a show of disinterested kindness and support; and Maggie's aversion began to vanish by d. peers, and she even look el forward to bis frequent visits with something of relief. An accomplished and experienced man, he knew very well how to change the monotony and agony of her thoughts. Tne break came one ever.ing when mother, daughter and guest were seated at tea.. There was a ring at the bill, aid in another moment Jack and Maggie stood once more face to face. It was Mrs. Devon who sooke first. -"I am surprised that even your au dacity sufi'eis you to come here, sir," sho said. "I crn neit audacious. Mrs. Devon," replied the young fellow, as calmly as l e could, "but I demand an explana tion." Mrs. Devon took the carte from a drawer. "Dr. Kerr, will you be so Vinti?" Kerr bowed, took the likeness, and handed it to Ludlow, without a word. The young fellow looked at it. "I can't understand it; it is I, and yet not," he said, unsteadily. "But there is S'me horrid mistake. I I Oh! hang it all, Maggie, did you ever see me betlizeneel in this fashion? Look at the rings and the scarf pin." The girl turned with a startled face and locked at the man's hands and tie. There were three massive rings on the fingers in front of the girl's waist, and a cameo as lar.se as a small brooch was stuck in the ceckerchief. "But it's you. . ,1 the face, Ja Mr. Ludlow," she said, wavering. Jack scrutinized the photograph more closely. At last he said, with deliberate and sure intonation: '"Very clever, and a case for the po lice. Some one has obtained a portrait of me, and made 9 photograph of the face and neck; these have been adjusted to another body. It is merely a com posite picture a trick that is done every day by clever photographers." There was an awkward silence, and the women looked curiously at Dr. Kerr. "I shouid like to assure myself," he said, holding out his hard for the por trait, and Jack passed it without hesi tation or demur. v Kerr looked at the card with an in tertnesa which was rather overdone: then he tore it across, and threw the pieces into the fire. "The rascal you are right, sir," he ejaculated. - . "A clever stroke to think to destroy all evidence," began Jack. "This is monstrous, sir." Kerr replied hotiy. "Mrs. Devon. Miss Devon. you believe in my single-mir.dedness, I trust." But Maggie's old aversion came back, and she made no reply. Her mother, if wrong-headed, was no fool, and replied, evasively: "Doubtless Mr. Ludlow will be good enougli to let the unfortunate affair drop, for our sak'-s." This was a left-handed blow, but a hard one, nevertheless, and Kerr saw that the game was up. But. assured that his reputation woulel not be asseeiled out of the house, he took his cue swiftly.

He bowed himself out in a heavy, awkward manner, that was as apparent to himself as to the others. Deprived of her unworthy champion, Mrs. Devon found occasion to leave the room, too, to let matters take their course, and the lovers were left alone. "Oh, Jack, can you ever forgive me?" said Maggie, tearfully, throwing herself into his arms. "With that diabolical .picture before my own mental vision, I can find every excuse for you," retorted her lover, ac companying the remark with an expres sive hug. HUMOR OF THE DAY.
