ly infatuated 10 do almost anything, and
his relatives set themselves about devisiug
means of calling him away.
Al that time Mr.. Taylor had not come
into his possessions, and was living on an
allowance which was none too large for his
extrnvagant tastes and luxurious habits.
He was almost IL not quite as fond II
horses and equipages as he was of Matte
Mitchell, and knowing the young mans
weakness in this direction his shrcwd Uncle
Chatfield was able to meet the emergency.
'If you will give up Matte Mitchell, !" said
he. II will buy you "a tally ho and four"

We shall have to forgive Mr.. Taylor on
the scorc Of youth and incxperience. Per
baps, moreover, he had plimmering of
the truth that Miss Mitchell was beyond
his reach, and concluded hc had better

character and energy. His attempt to found
an American party was q lamcntable, al
most ridiculous failure, but he has sue

force and originality, who Is pretty sure to
make stir in the world.
His good sense and fine discrimination,

Matte Mitchell for a tally-ho and four,
was finally established by his selection Of

A little story Of sweet Rose Farwell that

ter the marriage came preparations for the
bridal tour. The house was full of serv-
ants and plenty of willing hands were
near, but the bride insisted upon packing

trunks were ready and train time was near

time James and the wagon had come the

James was careful, for his mistress stood
by and superintended the loading Then

the handsome American girl the little god
dess stirred up no end of JOY and rouble-
Joy because the love was genuine and mu-
tual, and trouble because the stern parent
whisked his daughter away to America.
