In nand, In search OF Lavender, but without
| success.
Mr. Lavender, in the meanwhile, after ar
irving safely at Mile End, had caused himself
to be driven back to the West. Then he bought
| hat, and proceeded TO carry out a resolution
which he had formed during his travels in the
Hanson. He went straight to to the residence
of Signor Cavallini.
''0ld Fathers may bully me-" he said to
| himself, +" but I'm hanged if stand any non
or he shall fight memo. on second thought,
he Shan't marry her, and he shall fight.
"Is Signor Cavallini at home? ?"
| sNO, sir ..
"Where is he?''
''Gone to Newmarket, sir''
Then must 60 after him. What's his ad-
dress there? ?"
Il don't know, sir. Would you like to walk
in and see Madame Cavallini ?"
You mean Signor Cavsllin's mother?''
:" No; l mean his wife, She arrived from
Italy last night, sir. Master went away early
this morning"
. His ,ctfe3 repeated MI Lavender, incred-
ulously.
His wife, SIR" said the man
Mr.. Lavender jumped into his cab, and pro-
ceeded at once to the house of Captain Fla
therss
The man who opened the door started at see
ing the fugitive bridegroom. If master sees
you, he II kill you sir. He swears he will. Oh,
do 60 away he exclaimed.
Il want to speak to him instantly" replied
Mr.. Lavender
"He is not at home now, sir, he is looking
for you everywhere, and nothin' will stop him
He says he'll ave your blood. He do, indeed,
and Miss Juliana is tainted away, and it's a
bad job, SIR
admit Mr.. Lavender into what he believed
lions den.
Six times he returned to the charge and at
last he found Captain Fathers at home In
an instant he had rushed up stairs into the
drawing-rOom, and shouted at the top of his
voice =
''Cavallini's married Cavallini's s married ~
DO not affect madness ~ said the captain,
as he arose from his chair Nothing can save
you now from the punishment you so richly
deserve
But he is, Cavallini's married His wife
came over yesterday from Italy"
Pitiful impostor," continued the captain.
= But wait till / have bolted the door. No,
stop. Juliana and Miss Smithers, you had bet
ter leave me and Mr.. Lavender together for
few minutes. have to talk to him.
Miss Smithers rose, but it was to hurry to the
assistance of Juliana, who was fainting.
''Oh, come, this won't do" said Mr.. Laven-
der to the captain, with some show of defiance.
What say is true, and if you don't under
sldHu IL, L occ tHdt yUuE uduRuOtI uOts.
Miss Smithers, what's the meaning of all
this ?" said the captain, as soon as his daughter
had recovered.
Miss Smithers took the mystifed parent on
one side and explained everything.
Now, leave them alone, she added, when
his wrath was somewhat appeased, land all
will yet come right"
We are glad to say Miss Smither's prophecy
was fulfilled. The only obstacle to the mar
riage now was the slight contempt still enter
tanned by Miss Flathers for her devoted ad-
INFERIOR that he was devoted to her there
could be no sort of doubt. But she readily
pitied him for what he had undergone for her
sake, and saw great merit in his refusing TO
marry her against her will Besides sincere
affection in all cases meets with some sort of
return. There may be hosts of pretty girls who
are pestered by vain and ridiculous admirers
but, as a general rule, they like to be loved.
After the marriage, Juliana had several rea-
sons for being pleased with her husband in
the first places he let her do exactly as she
liked-a most agreeable privilege, as those who
have exercised it will readily allow.
