Miss Luplra drew long sigh, which
sounded like one of relief. A faint

extremely private but she was going
TO elope with him In week from that
day.
She tried her best to find out who
Mehetabel's sweetheart was, but all In
vain.
She was almost appalled, by the bold
ness Of her own undertaking. Poor,
tlmh Miss Lupira II did seem
dreadful thing to let II man ran away
With one. And sometimes in spite of
her promise TO her lover, she was tempt
ed to tell Mehetabe all about II ; but
that worthy woman was wholly alb

maker was there constantly, so she had
no opportunity If she had had cour-
age
The eventful day Of the elopement
came at last
The little gentleman was TO appear
under Miss Luplra's window at precise
ly twelve o'clock. She did not propose
TO descend from the window, nature not
having blessed her with u form adapted
to such feats. She was TO steal softly
out of the door, and Mr.. WarGeld was
to have n carriage In waiting.
Poor Miss Lupira she was soon to
learn that
"The best laid schemes OF mice and men
Gang ait agley."
At dinner that day, Sally, who waited
on the table, had some news to Inn
part.

have across the way" she said. "The

beau an sure he amt, but his crazy
uncle, and they are takin' him back to
the crazy house to-day. An sure it's
out of his head knew he was q week

as an angel wild wings, an he'd marry

gan these six months And there'snot
gurrl or u woman gone by the garden
its not any further than that they'll
let him out, av coorse-there's not wo-
man gone by but he's after maxim love
to her, and they Gamma kape him at Mis-
Aliens no longer, though it's quiet and
country air he come for. Sure it's an
engagement-ring with big stone in 1t
that he gave to Chloe-and he's not above
making love to naygurs-and he telling
her they'd get married again In Septem-
Der. And he having wife living la

a poor crazy crathur, without his wits
about him, 1 suppose"
While Sally ratified on, Miss Meheta-
bel regarded her with stony stare.
Sally, bring me the camphire-bot-
tle,'' was all she said, when Sally's sto-

But Lupira, all regardless OF the pres

arms, and went into fit OF Mysteries.
Before she had recovered, a carriage
