Love and Villalny.

with her and she had been manifestidly
fond of him. He had deferred asking
her to be his wife until he should be
admitted TO the bar. But it seemed
tacitly understood that they were
eventually to be united.
Judge, then, his feeling when dark,
dreamy looking youth, just returned
from some years of leisurely life in
Paris, was observed to glance admir-
ingly on her and to elicit from her such
bushes and droppings of the eyes and
evidences of pleasurable perturbation as
she had never shown before. Her only
near relative, an aunt, with whom she
shared her home, was not aVerse to the
handsome stranger, and as the girl had
as unmistably as speedily fallen in
love with him there was nothing for
the law student to do but to abandon
the hope of ever making her his.
He continued to visit her. Nothing
was said between them on the subject,
save what was spoken by the eyes and
thoroughly understood. Her look
plainly said Il am sorry for you.
You are are always my good friend,
but l love the other" And his coun-
tenance answered II have no right to
complain" He and the successful
stranger treated each other coolly, but
politely 1t was in due time arranged
that the stranger should marry her.
Imagine the emotions of the law
student when, by some course of cir
cumstanCe, he learned that the stranger
was no other than defaulter who had
fed from New York years before, and
had, while in Paris. changed both his
name and appearance. The evidence
of the strangers identity came to the
law student by accident. 1t was such
evidence as he could not rely on for
use against the stranger, and it was
known to no one in New York save
the law student, the stranger and one
other person whose interest it would
be to conceal it.
What would you do you found out,
but could not prove, that the man who
was about to marry the girl you loved
was scoundel.
He wrestled with this question day
and night. He knew it would be use
less to tell the girl herself She would
ask for evidence which he could not
produce. She would then consider
him the prosecutor of her lover, and to
prove her confidence in that lover she
might even precipitate marriage.
At last the law student bethought
himself to seek counsel of his friend,
the philosopher, so to him he went.
The philosopher smiled.
"But how can the evidence be satis-
factory to you, and yet you be unable
to make use of ?" he asked.
Because it is vested in a woman
who alone, besides myself knows him

money to outbid him nor any willing

HAS he money enough to keep OF
forever buying her silence ?"
"I think not; hut he can keep buy

The law student at first refused t.

but eventually he yielded. He causet
the philosopher to be introduced to tn
girls aunt, and then he took a trip t
Cuba.
He returned in six months. In repl!

a piece of news that sent him in amaze

"Oh,yes Fortunately he was lookin
