Prince inca is a gentleman to the tips his fingers. You might know that by tho way he followed Helen Mauser home and into the very vestibule the other twilight, when he had never seen her before: or lv the wav he lav down along the ll.ior at Mrs. Iioteler's ball when he thought everyone worth while had gone down to the supper room. It is a noble peasantry which adds spice to society. As for the affair with Miss Long, I don't know how he could bo expected to marry Miss Long when she hadn't a penny ana lie hadn't eith er. Miss Long needn't have sat round th parks under the same umbrella with him if she badn t chosen. liecause if his people at home live on black biead and garlic in the ruined arch ot an old castle, it doesn't follow that Jessie will.

"Is it possible," gasped Mr. lirancepaih, "is it possible that my wire is talking this way?" "Why? Don't you think it a nice way to talk?" Mr. Branccpath looked at his wile with a gleam ef intelligence at last. "A pretty daugh ter you have, it that is tho way you have brought up your daughter'" And then he banged from the room like an angry hornet, heads about. "Why, what arc you doing whero are you going?" she exclaimed. "Hack to the greenhouse to send all this fra grant truck up by messenger: and then into the air. I have won my case and must get in to open country somewhere." "You have won your case?" "Yes, one of them. The other I shall know about before long." "I didn't know you had two of them. In the supreme court ?" "One of them; ami one in the suprcmest court of all." "There is no understanding legal lore. Some states havo judges and justices, aud others have chancellors and surrogates. And there are courts l equity and admiralty and supe rior courts and supreme courts, but I never heard of this one " "Yet vou are the iurv who will bring in the verdict, the judge who may draw on the black i go to dinner as you are, cap" your mother will say.

There was the sun shine checkering the turf, the stream warbling below, the leaves murmuring above, the birds leplyiiig to one another iu broken phrases ol ng. And there was a whirl ol broken thoughts sweeping through the young girl's orain ami taking possession ol her. Ihedia do 'ii of a princess, the plain black silk of a lawyer's wife; the cheerless palace, the cot tage with its wild rose hedges, and love, love, love. Should Laura Joy and her clergyman ami love iiave a life worth living, and she only what the Inlance of the ji unex.ie eiiuicnee ol Prince men might give her, with the con tract, too, of disdainful noble connections and the implication of having sold herself for a price. Why should papa want her to leave him lor thut fortune-hunter uttarh? That, if ho understood her mother, and of course she did, was all that his opposition to Paul Des pard meant. And mamma trying to uphold him, thinking more of a title won by some oiu rouuer centuries since than ol happiness to day. She would let them know she was not to be driven like kittle cattle. She should think, at any rate, that one's mother would sympathize with youth and hope and she looked calmly aud gravely at Despard, waiting anu surveying ner, and me color flashed all over her lace and the tears were ready to sparkle on the tips of her long lashes as she finished the sentence in her mind and love "Are you going to stay here all day?" she asked prcseutly, without looking up. ..'P. 1 I f I A . . a in i unve uu answer it) lour demand, uon't you think that is rather an auticratical beginning?" " 'Low suing May bring wooing Into Its own undoing,' " said Despard. "Did 1 understand," she said demurely, 'tnat you demand I should become your wite to day ? w on't to morrow do ?" 1 was not bold enough to dream of such a rapturous possibility," said Despard ; "but to morrow will not do. You remember the little brown chapel, Rock Creek church, out here a mile or two? You shall give me your an swer there." "Do you really think it will be best?" she said. "Are you willing to take wife who, if Prince Vinca had positively asked her first, might have been his wife instead of yours?" As for the remalndor of the drive that morn ing from this delicious resting spot to the lit tie brown chapel, where the minister happen. ed to be at tbe door with a throng ot picka ninnies at his heels, it may be best for us tore- member that there are times and places where two are company and three are none. So you see, after all it was not Miss Jessie that returned to tho Brancepath mansion, tbat evening, where guests were assembled, dinner waiting her arrival, and her mother as vainly eudeavoaing to conceal her anxiety as a bird that twitters on the stem when her nestlings are threatened. Mrs. liranccpbtn telt, and by no meaus vaguely, that something was on hand, but what she knew not, although her keen woman's wit gave her suspicions an Ul hopes; Jessie not yet arrived, but gone all day; Paul Despard not yet arrived, but invited to dinner; Mr. Brancepath still detained In his private room down-stairs by a caller, I'rince Vinca, as Durkee whispered to her; dinner spoiling, and Mrs. Brancepath hot with rage in the background; and possibly the Prince persuading her husband to his wishes, as expressed in tbat morning's note! It was while she was in tho worst of her worrying, smiling now at the secretary's jests, and trying not to smile at a foreign minister's English, that the daughter of the house was letting herself in, and w ith Paul Despard beside her was tapping at her father's door. He opened it himself looking Hushed and angry. "Papa," she said, "I can't wasle time, you know, because I'm atraitl dinner's waiting, wkI you ought to be up stairs, too, you ne glectful man I Now, papa dear, I knew you would never give your consent aud so I have taken It without asking, and you must forgive me and welcome me back, aud him, too," said the breathless young woman ; "for I don't see wby vou shouldn't love me just as much as ev er because he loves, too," "Jessie! What in the world are you talking about? Why should 1 forgive you? What have you done?" cried her bewildred father. "Oil, I have married Paul Despard this morning!"

You know better, papa. You know 1 am your only dar ling, and 'all of mine is thine,'" she sang.
