himself at table and commencing to
write. "How long will it take you to get
ready~
DO you wish me to 20 now, sirs' in
qnired Miss Talkative, rather taken aback
Yes, now. This instant" said Mr.
Jamison, impatiently. ''Get your bonnet
ON, and this will be ready for You"
| Miss Talkatiye was the personification of
good nature, and though not enchanted at
the idea of a trip to the other side of Chi
cago she proceeded to equip herself with
alacrity. Mr. Jamison had finished his let
ter by the time she came up again, and he
at once handed it to her with some silver
| for the cab fare
Ask to see tho lady" he said, Impress
lively. "and give her tho letter If she is
not at home, do rot leave it, but bring it
| back with you. On no account give it to
| any one else
'ls there on answer, s;r?" inquired Miss
Talkatiye, rather fustered by these instruc-
tons
Yes, there will probably be an answer
II the lady asks you any questions, tell her
was very angry On receiving the letter
| Tell her / shall probably leave Chicago in o
| few days" and Mr.. Jamison began pacing
the floor moodily.
1t crossed Miss Talkative's mind that If the
letter related to her note she might save her
| self this long trip. Butbefore she had time
to arrive at any conclusion Mr.. Jamison in
| terrupted her meditatiOns by saying sharply
Come, Miss Talkative don't waste val
liable time. The sooner the letter is deliv-
cred the better l shall be pleased. 1t is of
great Importance remember
Miss Talkative turned to retire and soon
as his landlady stepped out the door Mr..
Jamison commenced to re-read number OF
old letters which lay on her desk.
While he perused them his face was a
study. Anger, pain, fear, hope and ieal-
ousv passed over his features in rapid sue
| cessiOn.
My dearest George" he said, uncon-
sciously speaking aloud, and there was a
bitter ring in his voice. "Ilow she did de-
ceive NE! Oh! Alice, l loved you and will
always love you Why were you so cruel?n
Then, calming himself, he continued to
read When he came to the last letter he
paused for moment and read it aloud:
| GEORGE: | have dee ived you long
enough. l am going to marry Mr. Sharp,
whom you despise so much. | am really
| sorry you love me, for it may pain you to
learn that am false. 1t seems what in
tended for Irritation has been serious on
your part Forgive me if you can, but if
not remember ME as giddy tiirt. ALICE
| "P ). DO not write to me- for | shall not
read your letters, A."
On finishing this last Mr.. Jamison sank
down in chair and began to weep in ST.

July T. 1880 A small, elegant cottage in
Englewood rang with the mirth OF many
| guests.
1t was the occasion Of the marriage of the
daughter Of the house, Alice, to Frank
Sharp. handsome, daShing Young lawyer
The hands of the small silver clock on
the mantel pointed to the hour OF half past
nine when the prospective mother-in- law

The young lady addressed WAS tall,
beautiful brunette, aud at her mother g
words she moved to her room with grace
and dignity that proved she came OF good
