shall have such delightful conceris-quite
charming, | assure you,'
MY dear Lady Grace said Frank,
wringing his hands, what wiH become Of
me =
oh, Mr.. Frank you know have the
greatest regard for you; and il Tom. who
is fiery, choleric fellow, should ever be
shot in duel, why then, positively, Frank,
nothing can prevent it-you must be my
next husband
Frank ran away from her in despair.
and made smother VOW not to think any
more ofLady Grace; but he only thought
the more of her on that account. She
was such sweet creature, indeed, that
the hope Of possessing her might have
supported man through thousand mis-
haps. But Frank began to think himself
doomed irrevocably to disappointment,
and fell into desperate melancholy. He
set off for the continent, traversed France
ana Italy, and got 10 Naples in fit Of the
most doleful dumps that ever clouded the
the brains of hapless lover. He was
just about to throw himself into the crater
of Vesuvius, when he received intelligence
thai Mr.. Tom Startling had died suddenly
of surfeiL at harmonic celebration of
the Anniversary Of the Sons Of Thunder.
There is still chance left,' said Frank
as he ordered post horses for his return.
'Ye Gods annihilate both s pace and
time' But the Gods refused to do any
such thing, and Frank arrived too late.-
Lady Grace had given him up for lost, and
was engaged to Mr.. William James, late
of the city, rich banker, just retired
from business.
Poor Mr.. Frank Mildardour--there
seemed nothing wanting to overwhelm
him. lie did not wait upon Lady Grace
to extort a renewal of her promise, but
abandoned himself to his melancholy,
conceiving his case to be utterly hopeless.
When things are at the worst, howev-
er, they are sure 10 mend. Passing along
Oxford street one afternoon, he saw
great crowd collected before new build
ing, and by dint of inquiries, soon learned
the particulars of the accident that had
assembled it. He flew like lightning to
Lady Grace.
Lady Grace said he. you are once
more q widow!'
1T cannot be, Mr. Mildardour How
a widow Mr.. James walked out in per-
feet health not half an hour ago."
Exactly, my dear Lady Grace-I am
sorry to be the bearer-ahem !--of such
i'll news, but will tell you just how it
happened. Mr.. James was walking along
, Oxfe rd street, arm-in-arm with Sir Hen
, ry Wlldgoose.' :.
sAh the very man; Sir Henry is al.
ways here. Sir Henry is quite friend
, of mine-but go on, Mr.. Frank, with your
j, relation
'Mr. James, I say my dear Lady Grace,
r happened to pass out near the scattold oi
. building just as the workmen were
hosting big stone, when horse in the
: street taking fright, ran against the scat
. folding; the stone fell. and oh, Lady Grace
r MIR. James was killed on the spot!
Dear me! Mr.. Mildardour! you don
= say so!
f Positively true. 1 saw him with m,
own eyes ..
q Lady Grace put her handkerchief Il
/. her eyes, and there was dead silence TO
n some time; at last Frank thoughtit TIM
d to remind her of his purpose by saying
o Lady Grace you know your promise
IS my dear Mr.. Frank, there is only on
d obstacle in the way-l have promised t
n Sir Harry Wildgoose-it was only bu
d last week-'tis an unfortunate thing-bu
!. if Sir Henry dies, then upon my honor
k you shall truly and positively be my nea
# husband.'
ID N your honor 2
d 'On my honor
q. Then. my dear Lady Grace, / am tn
r. happiest man in the world, for the sam
nj stone has killed both of them!
I'd Lady Grace started with surprise, bu
!. her feelings reed not attempt to describs
a. for how few can guess what it is to los
y two husbands at single blow!
4. i am the happiest man in the world
repeated Frank.
Lady Grace looked upon him in maj
q, "a ner that left it dubious whether a smi
el or tear was to follow; but she was fai
8 ly caught. Frank loved her, and she
- who can doubt it?-had always love
nc him. They were married at St. George
II, ~ Hanover Square; but l am unable to s;
lmio m whether Lady Grace has made furth
oy appointment of her meet husband.
