was completely covered for several seconds
"Oh, Amy" he said, suddenly, "you do not
think money the most desirable thing in the
world now, do you? Is not love great deal
better?"
"Do you want me to tell you that am

II know it, Amy; and she has been very
devoted to me, too. But your father, my
darling; he will not object to the arrange

Gle will be greatly relieved to have one
daughter disposed Of"
Here Walter burst into hearty laugh. in
which she soon joined, although she could
not sec anything very funny in what she had
said.
Her father at once gave his consent, and
they were soon very happy.
He remained week, and, upon his return,
going straight to his aunt, with face fairly
radiant with happiness, he said:
Congratulate me, aunt!"

"Any has promised to be my wife"
"What is that? Amy2 Are you crazyp
"Crazy? No, am as Sane as you are"
"Did you say that you intended to marry

"That child will be Is in December and we
shall be married on her birthday"
"But Em-Miss Stanley" Mrs Simcox in
CURED, in dazed, bewildered way. "What
will she say?"
Then Walter looked somewhat bewildered
also-that is, for few moments. But he
began to laugh Immediately afterward, and
said:
IT do not know what Miss Stanley has to
do with it, She is not my mother, or guar
dian, or maiden aunt or -"
"But think she expected -"

"It is such delicate matter"
"Hang the delicacyl Do you mean that

mo, indeed. 1t will be better for me to do
it," and she started at once to fulfill the
dreadful duty.
She found Miss Stanley looking very i'm
posing and elegant in a scarlet satin wrapper
After talking awhile upon Indifferent sub
jects, Mrs. Simcox said:
"Do you know what Walter went away
for?"
Gle went on some business, suppose"
"He went to see Amy"
"Did he's Just like his kind heart"
at was not kindness at all; it was love-"
II do not understand you"
"He is engaged to Amy and they are to be
married in December"
For the first time in her life, perhaps, Miss
Stanley looked surprised, More than that,
she looked astounded. But, soon recovering
her usual admirable composure, she said:
II hope he will be happy with the child
She is very young and inexperienced, but she
is good little girl. 1t is an excellent thing
for the family, as they are very needy"
"Well, L must say that feel greatly disap-

"You need not be. Amy is very quick to
learn; and, with only few hints, she will
fulfill her duties here very gracefully" and
Miss Stanley resumed her embroidery, with a
gracious smile, as if everything had tran

room she thought to herself:

would not be likely to suit Walter"
Miss Stanley's manner toward that young
gentleman was the very perfection of stately
grace and urbanity: and when the marriage
took place Amy received no handsomer
present than the costly diamonds bestowed by
her benignantly smiling cousin.
After they had been married year or two,
Walter came into his wife's room one day
and said:
"Amy, have some news for you"
ooh, tell me quick!" she exclaimed; "what
is it,"
"Miss Stanley is engaged to an English no.
