From Once Il Week.
Concluded from last week.
My uncIes had been invited to be presen-
ted to Mrs Thorold They We're quite OBJ
sequious to her, and ], who knew what they
had said about the marriage, was disgusted
with them. Iconfded my feelings to Trick
sy, and we agreed that they were ''horrld."
But they were not only obsequious to Mrs
Thorold they were absolutely servile to
| Tricksy.
For the first time since had known her, l
saw her assume toward them a GOODNESS and
hauteur of manner which changed the frol-
icsome child into the proud and reserved
young lady. Iouce overheard them say to
my father
"What good thing it would be if Miss
Gwyn would take a fancy to WiIfrid!"

was a millionaire ?"

it were. She will be snapped up before you
are aware of it, and think what loss it
would be- 1t is good thing that poor John
is so awkward and plain, or should advise

He is going in a day or two," said my
father.
''Oh, indeed that is providentiol."
"Then we may hope that Wilfrid will get
! the million"
''No, said my father laughing, che is
too young poor fellow. Beatrix is sixteen
though she looks such a child she will b(
of age when he is eighteen, and must be
married in the course of the same month, OF
she forfeits the money. Any way if thi:

1t was true that John was about leaving
us; he was to gofor two years to Italy,

Tricksy was very shy with him, and he wal
ludicrously afraid of her. She was tie only
