the case: He saw me staying in poky lodgings at Barmouth, and, beyond the fact that I live at Manchester, he knows nothing He tells me that he has enough for us to live on very quietly, in addition to his profession. So, you see, he can't be called fortune hunter"
 "Well, we'll, it makes no matter. The thing is monstrous, and will not hear of it."
 "Well, daddy, will do just as you like, and won't say any more about 1t now but, of course. tomorrow I must talk about it, because it is out of the question that I should break my word which I have given, and should make him unhappy, and be awfully unhappy myself. So I shall have to talk. about him, and you will have to listen '-the father had sat down now" because though, as my papa, you have perfect right to say, T will not consent to your marrying this man, still, you know, I must talk about a thing which is making me very unhappy. And it will be so much better and nicer, daddy" and she went over to him now and sat herself down on his knee, with her arm around his neck, eff you give in at once. Be- cause, you know, you can't keep in @ naughty temper with me long; and, be- sides, you would be very unhappy if I was unhappy; and at last, you know very well, you will have to give up be- ing cruel and cross, and tell me to be happy my own way"
 "Amy," her father said, trying to look very stern, 'I have spoiled you, I have allowed you to tyrannize over me-"
 "No, daddy, I can't allow that-cer- tainly net tyrannize. I have led you for your own good, and you have been as happy as the day is long,
 "And now," he continued, ignoring the protest, ''I am to reap the reward of my folly. That you should have mar ried man of high rank expected; had you married frst-rate man of business l should have been contented. But an artist"
 "Well, daddy, we won't talk any more about it to-day. Now I'll just smooth those naughty cross wrinkles, and I'll kiss you on each cheek and the middle of your nose. There, now it looks like itself There ten o'clock striking and you not off Mind, I shall expect you up to luncheon"
 So MT. Herbert went off, shaking his head, and although still determinedf yet, at heart, very doubtful as to his power of resistance. Amy went to her special sanctum, and wrote her first let ter to Hugh. The following sentences show that she had no doubt whatever on the subject:
 "Daddy does not take kindly to the notion as yet. He doesn't know you, you see, and it has of course come upon him little suddenly /; but he is the very best and kindest of all the daddies in the world, and in very few days he will see it in quite the right light. It is no use of your writing or coming to me here till he is quite reasonable; but I expect by this day week to have every thing arranged. I will let you know what train to come by, and will meet you at the station"
 It is to be presumed that Amy thoroughly understood her father but at any rate, it was exactly that day week that Hugh Carson, having obeyed in- structions, and got out at the station directed, five miles from Manchester, was little surprised and much dissap- pointed at not seeing her upon the platform.
 "Your luggage, Sir ! Are you the gentleman from the Hawthornes Very we'll, Sir, I will send up the portman- teau: Miss Herbert is in the pony carriage"
 "Bless me, Any," Hugh said, after the first greeting, as they drove off, "you used to talk about your pony-trap but this turnout is pretty enough to at. } tract attention in the park, Any," and he looked at her with a puzzled glance
 "you're not swell, are you ?-because 7 that would be dreadful" "Well, Hugh, if being swell means
 having lots of money, I suppose I an one, for daddy has lots upon lots. He's 3 got cotton-mills, you know. But there's nothing dreadful in that" l "You ought to have told me, Amy,
 Hugh said, 8 little gravely. I "Pas 50 6ete,' the girl said. "Il :. the first place, it is nice to know tha n you fell in love with me without know
 ing whether I had halfpenny; in tn
 second place, you would very likely hay s run away if you had thought I was s' j. rich; and to tell you the truth, Maste s Hugh, I had no idea of letting you rrll
 away. There, Hugh, there's the house 5 isn't it pretty ?"
 !, "Its almost a palace," Hugh said il .l dismay.
 v "Yes and there's papa at the doc e waiting to greet you. Now, look quit is pleasant and bright, Hugh, for, of course e I want him to like you almost as muc u as I do. '-7uaszoy's Magazine. I -----------
