Wei, said Augusta, Il will speak to

ooh, of course Lady Holmhurst will

VIII think about the things and be-
sides, she won't want to lose you before
she is obliged"
THAT is all that can do for you, sir, -
SAID Augusta, with decision. There
come - that's enough! Good night. 3"
And, breaking away from him, she made
pretty little courtesy and vanished.
Now, wonder what she means to do, -
medltated Eustace, as the butler brought
him his hat. Il really should not wonder
Ii she came round to it. But then one
never knows how woman will take a
thing. If she will she will, ETC., etc.
And now it may strike the reader as
very strange, but, as matter Of fact. ten
days from the date of the above converse
ton there was a small and early gather
ing at st. Georges, Hanover square, close
by say small, for the marriage had
been kept quite secret in order to prevent
curiosity mOngers from marching down
upon it III their thousands, as they would
certainly have done had it been announced
that the heroine of the great viii case
was going to be married. Therefore the
party was very select. Augusta had no
relations of her own, and SO She had
asked DR.. Probate, with whom she had
struck up great friendship, to come and
give her away; and, though the old gen
tIeman's previous career had had moro
connection with the undoing Of the nup-
tial tie than with its contraction, he could
not find it in his heart to refuse.
Il shall be neglecting my duties, YOU
know, my dear young lady" he said,
shaking his head. Its very wrong
very wrong, for l ought to be at the regis
try; but-well, perhaps l can manage to
come-very wrong, though-very wrong,
and quite out Of my line Of businessi l
expect that I shall begin to address The
COURT mean the clergyman-for the
petitioner"
And so it came to pass that on this au-
splcious day the registering was left to
look after itself; and as matter Of his
tory, it may be stated that no question
was asked in parliament about it.
Then there was Lady uolmhurst, look
ing very pretty in her widows dress; and
her boy Dick, who was in the highest
spirits, and bursting with health and
wonder at these strange proceedings on
the part of his ''auntie;" and, of course,
the legal twins brought up the rear.
And there in the vestry stood Augusta
in her bridal dress, as sweet woman as
ever the sun shone on; and, looking at
her beautiful face, DR.. Probate nearly fell
in love with her himself And yet it was
a sad face just then. She was happy
very, as a loving woman who is about to
be made a wife should be; but when q
great joy. draws near to Us it comes com

griefs,
Now, then, Miss Smithers," broke in
DR.. Probate, for the very last time-no-
body will call you that again, you know
take my arm; his lordship-I mean the
parS0n-is there"
It was done, and they were man and
wife. Well, even the happiest marriage is
always a good thing to get over. It was
not long drive back to Hanover square,
and the very first sight that greeted them
on their arrival was the infant from the
city (J0hn's), accompanied by his brother
the infant from Pump court (James), Who
had, presumably, come to show him the
way, or, more probably, because he
thought that there would be eatables 60

Marked immediate, sir; so thought
that had better serve it at once, said
the first infant, handing the letter to
John.
what is it," asked Eustace, nervoaslv.
He had grown to hate the sight Of law
yer's letter with deadly hate.
"Notice Of appeal, expect, said John
"Open it, man" said Eustace, land
let's get it over" Accordingly, John did
so, and read as follows:
"MEEsoN VS.. ADDISON AND AEOTuEn.
DEAR SIR-After consultation with
our clients, Messrs. Addison and Roscoe.
we are enabled TO make you the following
offer. If no account is required Of the
mesne profits -
That's wrong term" said James,
irritably. "Mesne profits refer to profits
derived from real estate. Just like
solicitor to make such blunder."
= The term is perfectly appropriate, - re-
piled his twin, with warmth "Ihe-e
was some real estate, and, therefore, the
term can properly be applied to the whole
of the income"
For heavens sake, don't argue, but
get on!" said Eustace Don't you see
that am on tenter hooks?"
"My clients" continued John, ARE
ready to undertake that no appeal shall
be presented in the recent case Of lIeescn
VS.. Addison and Another. If, however,
the plaintiff insists upon an account, tie
usual steps will be taken to bring tie
matter before a higher court.
