Emerick found friend" (How well the natural cunning of her race was serving her at this tilne.)
 That must be very agreeable" said Mrs. Delaro
 Ut happened this way. I told Mr. | Emerick l was going to France, and as he also intends to go there this summer he has resolved to start at once and ac. company Us. He also knows many peo. pie at Amiens and can be of great serv. ice to us."
 As Mrs. Brcgy spoke these words the stately Armida walked in, and after the congratulations of the day she asked Mrs. Bregy if they expected to spend the whole of tho summer in sunny France.
 'l really can not tell," was the an swer. Eugene is talking of-going to Paris fer years study while am la Etring with the lawyers at Amicns."
 Then hc is going to act on my ad- vice." said Armida, in a pleased tone of voice which her mother thought seemed almost absent-minded.
 ''I do not know whose advice it is, but that Is the determination which he has expressed" answered Mrs. Bregy.
 "And are you not going to be in Lon. don at all during theayear?" asked Ar mida.
 ''We may go there, but it is almost impossible to tell what we shall do un- til tho veXatious questions of law are settled" responded Mrs. Bregy.
 ''lf you should go there," said Ar mida, ''you will either find us or hear of us at tho Hotel Metropole, Northumber- land avenue"
 Then will make note of it." said Mrs. Bregy, as she drew little book from her pocket.
 'Now, ] must go. for l have to go down to the lawyers"
 She had not been gone long when Mir. Blodger called.
 Since his old friend, Wilcox, died he had ceased to carry his scrap-book around with him, and poetry seemed to have vacated his soul for the time be, ing. He had grown very prosaic, and, as he said to Mrs. Delaro, he wasn't feeling very we'll and as travelling seemed to be the order of the day, thought he would take a trip to Europe right away. II have sent a good deal of soap over there," he said, "but havo never been myself, and think will go and sea what the place looks like.''
 ''We arc anxious to make an carly start," said Mrs. Delaro, "but have been waiting to get some further news of our friend, MT. Lowell"
 "Mr. Lovel?" querIed Rlodeer. "Seems to me have heard that name."
 Surely, do you not remember the handsome Englishman whom you took for my brother at Long Branch?' asked Armida.
 Certainly, do. What has become of him?" said MT. Blodger.
 'He went down to South America dur ing the early part of January, and has never been heard of since," replied Armida.
 "Did he go on pleasure or business?" asked MT. Blodger. -
 ''He went on business. Mir. Lovel is the gentleman to whom MT. Wilcox left so much money."
 "Bless my life to think that am ex- ecutor and don't know that" said the bloated bondholder. Adding by way of excuse: Well, left every thing to the lawyers to settle and know they are men l can trust" :.
 Hero Mrs De1aro yentured to remark that she did not think it would be any use to wait all summer expecting news of Percy.
 ''The body which was found in the river must have been his and the poor fellow is undoubtedly dead"
 But what will become of all that money, mamma?" asked Armida.
 "oh, let tho money rest, my child, somo one will claim 1t some day,U was tho answer ..".c i' els h;'E'" @'
