"He is in truth. /"

she IS in truth"
Still, continued her uncle, sthere must
be something which your limited income
Will not permit you to obtain, but which
would be desirable, is there not ?'
Yes" said Mrs. Lowe, 'sI am anxious
to give Mary and Emma musical educa-
ton, but Williams means will not allow of
such extravaganza as the purchase of a
piano; SO that is one of the things which
we must be content to deny ourselves"
Mr.. Lowe then entered, and being in
! formed of the charcter of his visitor he ex-
tended hearty welcome
comfortable repast was soon spread of
which, Mr.. Beaumont readily partook.-
His spirits rose, and he seemed to grow
younger as he saw the cheerful faces around
him rtnd felt himself at home Soon after
| the eSyenlng meal ne arose to depart.
/ ''Surely, you are not going?" ''said his
niece" you must henceforth take up your
| abode with us"
I've will see about that, and if you don't
think you you will get tired of me per-
haps / will come. But I have hired a
! lodging and must undoubtedly remain in
it for a few days"
''But ycu must call in every day and
make yourself perfectly at home even be-
fore you come here to stay, persisted his
niece"
''Be sure of that"
In accordance with his promise Mr..
Beaumont made his appearance next day
at eleven O'Clock, and was received as cor
daily as before. He had hardly been in
the house quarter of an hour when
/! loud rap was heard at the door She be-
held two men who had just driven up in
wagon.
Where is the piano to be put ma'am, Z"
they idquired
'.Piano You have made mistake; we
have not purchased piano"
Isn't your name Lowe?
eyes"
''Then it is all right Jim, bear a hand
for its confounded heavy"
But am quite sure there must be some
mistake" still insisted the perplexed Mrs.
Lowe.
''Not at all,' said loud voice behind
her.
She turned around in amazement.
You know, continued the uncle, that
1 am going to come and live with you, and
I thought 1 would pay my board in ad-
vance, that is ALL AS you expressed a
wish yesterday for piano, [ thought it
would be as acceptable way as any"
You, uncle! Why-excuse me-but [
thought from-from."
You mean" said he smiling. ''that you
thought from my appearance that L could
not afford it. And | confess, said he cast
ing a glance at himself in the glass that
my dress is not in the extreme Of the fash
ion, and In fact [ was obliged to look some
time when [ called at the second hand
clothing store the other day before [ could
end these. However, as [ have got all
the service 1 wished out Of them, / shai.
throw them aside to morrow, and appear
more respectfully clad
What are you wealthy, uncle?"
depend upon it, Anna, didn t spend
ten years in the East Indies for nothing" !"
was the reply l had a mind however, to
put on the appearance of poor man and
so test the affection and disinterested-
ness of my relations One of them, how
ever l found not at home; am happy to
find myself at home with the other.
Let US turn to the aristocratic Mrs.
B. who in few evenings succeeding
the events here recorded, was in her
drawing room receiving calls.
'By the way" said fashionable visi-
tor, Il am to have your relatives, the
Loves, for my next door neighbors.
''Next door neighbors," exclaimed Mrs.
Beaumont in amazement. "What do you
mean ?"
rs it possible you have not heard of
their good fortune? Mrs. loves uncle
has just returned from the East Indies
with an immense fortune"
'Ee has taken a house in the same
block with ours, and when they have NOV
ed into it, will take up his residence with
them. Meanwhile he is stopping at the
R House"
What Henry Beaumont ?"
''The very same, but thought you
knew it"
When the visitor withdrew, Mrs. Beau
mont ordered her carriarge, and immedl-
ately to the hotel where her husband
uncle was stepping. She sent up her
card and requested an audience
The servant soon returned with another
card OF which were traced the significant
words ''not at home"
