/. sMr. Uuderdonk,' said Evinston, you
may do as you please about this affair." au
not to be triaed WITH Sdsaying, EVinston
tore the paper into fragments and advan'
ced towards the door, as if aboat to leave
the house.
Stay, Mr. Evinston! shouted Under.
donk. You surely will make an effort tc
rescue or bring back poor Ida!
Give me paper like that which I have
destroyed, or abide by the consequences oi
yeur intoerable folly said Evinston.
BE seated = said Undetdonk.
you are losing fime, Mr.. Underdonk-
but, pshaw II will not be made fool Of!
and SO saying, Evisston passed out of the
door into the street,
Say !-copfound the luck !-.Evinston
Evin,ton |! shouted Undsrdonk, rushing to-
wards the door.
Il have no time to spare, replied Evinston,
turning the corner.
sBut-the devil take the fellow !-fll
give you the paper right away! screamed
Underdenk.
BE quick about 1t, then! said Evinston,
returning to the house.
Te be brief, the important paper was
written, duly signed and sealed, and deiiv-
cred to Evinston. No sooner was the paper
in the young gentlemaD's possession, than
he placed histhunb upon his nose, and made
certain mysterious motions with his fingers,
which did not see N altogether agreeable to
Mr.. Underdonk. The last seen of that
worthy old man, he was shaking his 6st at a
coat-tail, which was disappearing around the
corner of the street.
Leaving Mr.. Underdonk to his own re-
fectiens, we will follow Eviuston to the
Charleston hotel, whittier Marlton had taken
Ida, according to agreement.
Miss Ida,' said Evinston, as he met that
young lady with Marfton and Eva; Il have
come to take You home.
Ito take her home! repeated Marlton,
much surprised.
Such was my promise to Mr.. Underdonk,
said Evinston.
you do not mean to say, that you have
pu. Miss Ida, to all this Inconvenience for
nothing; and that you intend to take her
back to that old stupid fellow, underdonk !
Not exactly that-but-
Out upon you fer an IDIOT exclaimed
Marlton. IF you mean to say, that you
have given up all idea of marrying Miss Ida,
after all the promises You have made to her,
tell me 50 at once, SO that fmay throw you
out of the window for an unprinclpled and
dishonorable man!
What think you about it now? asked
Evinstou handing the paper (Which In
derdonk had written) to Marlton.
why, Evinston !! said NIarlton, chow did
you manage to get such thing from Under
donk p =,
On condition that Miss Ida return to his
house, said Evinston, smiling.
But do you think, that he will allow of
YOUR union with Miss Ida, should she re-
turn with you? If such is your belief, |
must tell you, that you will be much mis-
taken
but suppose, that Miss Eda consents to
become Mrs Evinston, here and now =
would not that make the matter safe !! said
Evinston, taking the hand of Ida, and CLAN.
cling triumphantly upon MaTlton.
Coed !-Underdonk caught in his own
trap!' exclaimed Marlton, exul'ingly. Hand
that paper TO Miss Ida, and let her decide.
Ida perusad the paper, and after some per-
suasion, consented to an immediate union.
Marlton Immediately went in search of
magistrate, who, upon reading the written
consent Of Mr.. Undertook, and Marlton' s
promise of liberal fee, cheerfully agreed
to perform the marriage ceremony. The
ceremony took place at once--the mag's.
trate's certificate was written, signed, sealed
and witnessed-a1d Ida became the lawful,
and delighted wife of Charles EVipston.

Mr.. Underdonk had lighted the gas in his
library, and-had justadiusted himself in his
easy chair for comfortable evenings read
ing, when the sound of carriage wheels broke
discordantly upon his ear. To his surprise
the carriage stopped before his door, and
the door bell violently rung. Old Pompey
had gone to meeting, and the balance OF
the servants had gone to see the Woody
Horse which was then en- exhibition SO
that Mr.. Underdonk was altogether alone.
sWho knows but what these are some of lda's
abductors, returned to carry me off! whls'
pered Undertook, as he cautiousl ) approach
ed the door. =,
Open the door, Mr.. Underdonk! said
Marlton, impatiently.
He is not at home,' replied Underdonk,
from within. ..
DO not keep rs standing out here said
Evinston, speaking through the Eey-hole.
'Who are you P asked Uuderdonk' still
undecided.
why, Charles EviDston, and friends! !
shouted Marlton, giving the door heavy kick.
Yes .-one moment. if you please re-
plied Undertook, as he proceeded to take
down the bar. Walk in--ha !--you've sue
ceeded in bringing back Ida" exclaimed the
old man, as he admitted the party. 'Who
have you here?' he asked, as his eyes fell
upon Marlton and Eva.

the library. :.
