Bertie oarylbroke into n genial laugh.
what fellows you soidiera are for

married r
Not married Oh, Marion r
He took her hand aud looked visit
fully into her eyes

but think we are both wiser now
She did not raise her long lashos, and
he went on
But, Marion, the crippled, war-worn
soldier dare not ask the question that
the lover would have pleaded 80 earn

She looked up now, with tears lying
brightly on her flushed cheek.
Then l viii ask it. Sidney, do you
care for me stiIl2"
"Do care for heavens sunshine? do
I care for the blessed life that beats
within my own heart? Oh, Marion
mine, mine forever.
As he murmured the tender words
close into her ear, Herbert Caryl, who
had been abstractedly spinning the roll
ing-pin round, brought it down on the
snowy pine table with a bang.
Il have it Fifty pounds a year! !"
"What is fifty pounds yearf" ques-
toned his brilliant sister.
"Why, the rent to be sure!"
"NeSer mind the rent just now. Mr..
Caryl," said Colonel Templar, laughing
good-humoredly.
"Oh, but it really is Fifty pounds a
year., said Herbert solemnly, "and
why, look herel what is this
about2 2"
For Marion had led Sidney Templar
lup to him, and was smiling even while
the tears hung on her wet eyelashes.
| "Will you love him very much, Ber-
tief For-I think he is going to be
your own brother"
Exactly like the last chapter in my
novel," said CaryI sagcly. "Shake
hands, Colonel And now. Marion, you
take care Of him, for most Of my wri-
ting is shockingly behindhandr'
SO it happened upon that ssunshiny
April day that Colonel Sidney Templar
engaged not only house for his Cous-
in Bertha, but wife for himself
"Well take down the bill, Bertie, :"
said Marion, demurely, because Colo
mel Templar likes the house, and-and
j don't exactly think showing rooms is
your forte"
"Dont you?" retorted Herbert. =
"Now only suppose Colonel Templar
had gone away without seeing what a
very convenient closet that was where
the preserves are kept"
But Marion made him no answer
