| Mary looked at her intended husband
and at once perceived that mans energy
and courage had suddenly risen within
him. He was no longer sheepish boy,
patronized and brought forward by her
and he took upon himself the unaccus-
toned task of comforting and patronizing
her. 20 a9asglv9 a9lifa3 n

Mary threw her arms about Eugene's
neck, and--utterly regardless of my
presence -sobbed and wept like child
Her patronizing air was utterly gone, and
she addressed him ash lover who had
proved himself worthy of her affections.
Eugene" said she, II know well |
need not fear for your love if you were
ten thousand miles away. You have
proved it too often for me to doubt it
for moment now. Go, and God be
with you but-mind you come within
the year, qohetlaer ye be rich or aoletlsor ye be
poor; if rich We will be welcome, and if
poor, We will then be doubly welcome to
your own darlin' Mary. Meier foggett1sat.n
She then turned to me, and-holding
out her hand as countess might have.
done-she continued ~e
"Thank your honor much for kindness |;
I'll never forget it, either in this world or
the next"
In few days Eugene appeared before
me clad in new and comfortable suit.
I gave him his passage-money, and a
couple of pounds over, that he might be
able to go up the country, and look tor
employment at once He thanked me in
manly, open way, and departed.
NV time and attention were so much
occupied with the onerous duties in
which Twas then engaged, that though |
often thought of Mary and her lover, yet
I never had an opportunity of making
special inquiries about her; but one day
she sought me again as was walking in
the same grounds; and, coming up to me
witha countenance beaming with pleasure,
she showed me letter from Eugene. 1t
was not long nor what most people would
call very interesting; but he told her he
was in full employment with a good and
kind man-that he had already saved 81
out of his earnings, and he hoped, before
very long, to come back and claim his
prize, and carry his darling Mary off to
far home that he was even then preparing
for her. This was about six or seven
months after he left; and she had re-
NAMED some times in her "own little
place." as she called it, and sometimes
with his mother, ever since.
About five months after the last inter
view, was walking alone along the sea-
shore at Kenmare, when l was again
waylaid blythe handsome Spanish beauty I;
| but this time she was accompanied by q
Young man. She looked grave, though
happy, as she walked lovingly by his
side, and her patronizing ways had
altogether departed from her. l looked
carefully at the young man. He was tall
and strong; his beard was massive,
and reached almost to his chest (; his face
was handsome, but sunburnt and
weather beaten ; and his whole appear
ance was as little like her lover Eugene
as it was possible for it to be.
/ stood still as the pair approached me,
looking intently from one to the other.
Mary and the man came quite close up to
me- and-as neither of them addressed
mel was the first to speak.
GLOW is this, Mary?" said I, "and who
is this man who accompanies you? You
surely do not mean to say you have cast
off Eugene, and taken up with another
man :"
! Mary leaped nearly foot from the
ground as / said so. Il knew your honor
wouldn't know him?' cried she in {
sudden ecstasy of joy. "Why this i
