.'We will spend q short time In London
this season. 1t is going to be a very
brilliant one and should not be missed
since we are so near"
THAT will be very pleasant way to
spend few weeks. Still, should
like to sever my connection with this
old city. For, delightful as. 1t is, and

pointmont at not being ablo to wrest
the property from me-, said Mrs. Brcgy,
in an alarmed tone.
'Then the best thing to do is to dis
pose Of your bricks and mortar and
have nothing but the hard cash to take
care of. In that way it will be much
more easily handled"
"That is exactly what / have made
up my mind to do, so you had better
commence negotiations tomorrow. As

Mr. limerick was true to his word,
and in less than ten days every thing
was settled, and he, as Mr.. Breezy, was
in sole control of the conGding wom-

spent in whirl of pleasure. Mr..
Bregy, as the ex-merchant was now
known, seemed as though he could not
do too much to give his newly-recovered
wife pleasure, and all the days were
days OF happiness to her. Yet what
cruel awakening was in store for herl

when q letter reached them from
Eugene, saying that he had not found
the Delaros, as they had left Londor
and would not return for few weeks
but he was very much delighted witt
the great city, and, having met Mr.
Blodgcr, was having very pleasan
time OF it.
Upon receipt OF this discussion tool
place as to their next movements, ant
1t was decided to spend a few weeks Il
,, the south of France. They went t
Nice, and every thing seemed to pre-
gross satisfactorily with them unit
about two weeks after their arriva

grew moody and sullen, and one day
when Mrs. Bregy fondly asked tn
