near the bed, and. after kindly greeting
his servant, said
what can / do for you, Davis, this
morning?"
"You can give me your daughter -
my wife," Davis said, boldly, as he
took Lulu's hand in his.
"Sir, YOU insult mel" exclaimed Mr..
Malcolm, as he gazed angrily at the
young man.
"And yet you invited me here for the
express purpose Of seeking her for my
wife, answered the other, coolly, and
even smilingly.
you are mad! never saw you be-
fore in my life !" was the astonished re-
ply.

did you not send me that invitation ?"
passing the e.d.r man O letter as he
spoke.
1T is certainly my handwriting, but
cannot understand how you come by
this letter." was the amazed reply.
And am Fred Davis Moreland, at
your service" was the quiet reply.
"The day came was not certain that
was in the right place, and before L
could question You, you mistook me
for the expected coachman, and would
not allow me to explain matters; so,
acting upon q whim of finding out if /
could obtain favor in a certain lady's
eyes without the advantage that wealth
confers. L accepted the position you
forced upon me, and for which shall
always be exceedingly grateful to you.
1t has enabled me TO win the love of
your daughter and her promise to be-
come my wife, provided / could gain
your consent"
"You Fred Moreland! How could l
be 50 stupid as not to recognize you by
the strong resemblance you bear to
your father? Can you forgive the i'll
temper that prevented your explana-
ton? Lulu, what shall l say to him?"
continued Mr.. Malcolm, turning help
lessly TO his daughter, who was Just as
much surprised as he by the disclosure.
81 think the only course left is to
accede to his demands" was the demure
reply at is only just indemnity for
his wrongs"
That the advice was acted upon was
proved by the wedding which followed
few months later. If the promises
are fulfilled it will be an unusually
happy one.

information. She had to confess to
herself that, among all her male ac-
quaintances, there was not one to oom-
pare with him in refinement and gen.
tlemanliness of bearing.
The proposed visit was made. On
their way home, they were passing
through piece of woods, gun was
discharged near at hand, the horses
were frightened, and, becoming un-
manageable. dashed away at the top of
their speed.
Lulus terror was extreme, and she
was preparing to spring from the phae-
ton. dexterously wound the ieins
about his hand, and throwing his arm
around her drew her close to his side.
Lulu, darling, trust me-" he said,
turning pale, set face toward her for
an instant. Promise that You will not
again try to jump out, and l will save
you unhurt."
81 will trust YOU" she replied, with O
strange throb OF pleasure at her heart
as she realized the import OF his first
exclamation.
THANK you for saying that, he said,
as he turned once more toward her for
an instant. "Now, clasp my arm tightly,
and keep as close to me as possible,
for the road is bad here, and / need
both my hands to guide the horses.
Silently Lulu did as he babe, and
watched, with lmiration, the display
of skill and strength which the driver
used to subdue the maddened steeds.
Suddenly one of the reins snapped in
two, and the horses veered slightly. In
an instant the carriage was upset and
the occupants thrown to the ground.
Lulu was stunned fora moment, and
upon recovering herself found that she
had been thrown upon the driver, and
thus been saved serious injury; while
he lay insensible with an ugly cash
in his forehead from a stone, which his
head had come in contact with when he
fell.
Lulu stanched the blood with her
handkerchief and carefully bandaged
his head. Then she made successful
attempt TO restore him TO conscious
ness 10y the use of sal volatile, which
she CHANGED to have with her.
Davis opened his eyes at last. much

take book, and, straying away from
the other servants to n large grape
arbor that was on the side of the
house near the MUSHROOM, where Lulu
spent much of her time, he would soon
appear to be deeply engrossed with his
reading.
One day Miss Malcolm. strolling
through the arbor, came upon Davis
as he sat porting over his book. When
he became aware of her presence, he
arose hastily, and in doing so dropped
his book, which fell at her feet before
he had time to recover it. She was as
ton shed to see that it was q standard
French novel in the original.
"Do YOU read French, Davis?" she
inquired
Yes, Miss Malcolm" he replied. re-
spectfully. Il am ambitious of becom
ing something more than n coachman,
and use all my leisure moments TO i'm
prove my mind.
your ambition is n laudable one,
Davis" replied Lulu, approvingly, her
respect instinctively rising for the man.
ave have an extensive library, and if
any in your desire to advance yourself,

you may name"
"Thank you kindly, Miss Malcolm,
for the interest you evince in one whose
position is SO lowly. If you would not
feel offended ut my request, / would
like you to choose the books that YOU
consider the most instructive for an in
quiring mind"
Very well, Davis, / will select some
books for you, and leave them on the
hall table, where you can get them at
your pleasure.
Then Lulu returned thoughtfully to
the house, where she informed her
father OF the incident, and of her
promise to lend the books.
81 tell you what, papa, said she, Il
predict that our coachman is bud
ding genius, perhaps a future Presi-
dent" and she laughed merrily. "Who
knows but some day he might make
you foreign minister, to repay me for
directing his studies?"
"Well, Lulu. L should not be sur
prised," Mr.. Malcolm replied. "The
fellow has always puzzled me, any
way" he continued, thoughtfully
"He is always respectful, and in the
two months of his service L have not
had cause to complain once, even, but
he seems used to giving orders, in
stead of receiving them"
Some weeks after this conversation,
Lulu ordered the phaeton brought
around, as she was about to tale Il
drive of some miles to call upon
some friend. Davis was to accompany
her. For some reason that she dared
not own to herself, she was always
pleased at the prospect of long drive

Business has been fairly maintained in vol
ume, and is gradually improving in pros
poets. June has been month of exception
ally large trade transactions. Prices of COM
modities, in spite of the rising markets,
have, on the whole, during the month,
fallen about 2 per cent, and are
now hardly 1-2 per cent. above the lowest
average ever recorded. But there are signs
substantial improvement in the most inn
portant branches of industry. The none
tary situation remains undisturbed. Never
theless the stock market, by many consid-
ed an indicator of the future, has been sink
ing. The wars of Western, and to some ex-
tent of Eastern railroads, have dsheartened
many investors and caused much selling. II
is felt, too, that the rise stimulated by sud
substantial character.
The half yearly return of failures shows a
relatively larger increase in New England
than in any other section--about % per cent.
and next In the trans Mississippi region

per cent. In the Middle States the increase
has been but A per cent, thence to the Mis-.
sissippi about per cent and at the South

of 81 per cent. in aggregate liabilities.
