WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING

From London Society.
Dan Bellairs and Liza Bellairs had
done a very foolish thing they had
fallen in love: they had done an awful
thing-they had married. And mar
ried on the strength of unlimited credit
on the Bank of Love, and almost total
blank on that of Threadneedle street.
The checks of the former are not negO-
table in a matter-of-fact world. Ihen
Dan and Liza. scouting the maxim that
two is company and three is none,
smiled welcome on a baby. All this
took place in due chronological order
when Dan was at the responsible age
of one and twenty.
When he took the train Gust after
his marriage) down to Lessinger hall
10 inform his father of the event, his
stern parent told him to go 10 the devil,
whereupOn Dan replied, with Oversan-
euine and rash Cheerfulness, that he
had come 70 his father following his
aCNice i'm advance. Mr.. Bellairs did
not see the Joke Git was never his way
(which was a pity) and used naughty
words (Which was WOrse), and each
generously gave rather more than he
took. and Dan proved himself a chip OF
the old blOck-much to the old block
indignation. the upshot of it being that
Mr.. Bellairs infromed his son by letter
that he had cut him of with a shilling
and that if he chose to apply for the
sum the family solicitors were author
lied TO honor his check 70 that amount.
Luckily Dan had $40 year inde-
pendent of his father, so. by ana Oh

first two years passed. though II TOOK

He answers by routing out a 2-shill-
ir- piece from his trousers pocket and
spinning it in the air. Heads or tails?

husband and father soberly, after a
pause. He goes 10 a window and looks
out with straight brOws and firm,
closed lips. and succeeds in looking
grOwn-up.
The 18th smiled on an anxious world
which had feared a frowning, fearful
sky.
Arriving at the course Dan and Jer-
vols went of by themselves. The
latter was a good deal excited. He
