Col. Thomas NewcOme, the hero of Argom. and of BhartpOur, had loved the beautiful Leonore de Blois, but having incurred the wrath of his step mother, he lied to India to carve out his career. There he had married the widow, Mrs. Casey, and a few years later sent their son Give to Eng land. He regaled the ladies Of the regiment with Gives letters; sport ing young men would give or take odds that the colonel would mention Gives name once before five minutes, or three times in ten minutes. But those who laughed at Gives father laughed very kindE.
 At last the happy time came for which the colonel had been longing, and he took leave of his regiment. In England, he had in his family circle two half brothers, Sir Brian, who had married Lady Ann, daughter of the Earl of Kew, and HobsOn Newcome.
 One morning at breakfast while Sir Brian chumped his dry toast, Barnes, the son. said to his sister Ethel: My uncle, the colonel of sepoyS, and his amiable son have been paying visit to Newcome."
 You are always sneering about our uncle" broke in Ethel, and saying unktnd things about Give. Our uncle k a dear, good, kind man, and l love him."
 At Hobson Newcome's and else where the family party often assem- bled. the colonel. hls friend Mir. Binnie and BinuieS sister, Mrs. Mackenzie with her daughter ROSey, Sir Brian and Lady Ann, and Give who had become a painter. From one of these parties Give and I, his friend Arthur Peudrunts, walked with the usual Ela- vona to light Us home. "I cant help thinking" said the astute ClIye, that they func.el l was lu love with Ethel. Now. I suppose. they think l am eu- -agel to Eoscy. She is as good a little creature aS can be, and never out ot temper though fancy Mrs. Mac kenzie tries her"
 Time passed and our Mir Give went to Baden. where he found old Lady Kew with her granddaughter Ethel. You have no taste for pictures, only for painters, l suppose" said Lady Kew one day 10 Ethel.
 "I WIS not looking at the picture ' satd Ethel. "hut at the little green ticket in Jue corner. I think, grand mamma" sNe said, "we young ladies in tie world ought to have little green tickets pinned on our backs, with sold written on them
 Barnes Newcome, too, was at Baden, for he was to marry pretty little Lady Clara PuIleyn. free at last from that undesirable Jack BelSize, Lord High gates son. Lady Kew had plans which Gives growing regard for hls cousin Ethel put in jeopardy.
 My good young man, l think it is tiue you We're of" Lady Kew said to Give with great good humOr. T have been 10 see that poor little creature to whom Captain BelSize behaved so cruelty. She does not care a fig for hfm--not one fig. She Is engaged, as you know, to my grandson Barnes; in all respects a most eligible union; aud EJherS engagement to my grand son. Lord Kew, has long been settled. When We saw you in London, We heard that you too were engaged, to young lady in your own rank Of life-Miss Mackenzie"
 Gives departure led 10 more fIrta- tIons by Ethel than old Lady Kew coulG couuteuance, but Ethel had found out how undesirable man Lord Kew was. and broke the engagement so dear to her grandmother's heart.
 When Give heard that the engage ment was over between Kew and Ethel he set out in haste for London. was installed as coufidant and to me Give said: Mrs. Mackenzie bothers me so I hardly know where to turn, and poor little RoSey is made to write me a note about something twice a day. Oh Pen! I'm up another tree nOw|
 Give met his cousin Ethel at party or two in the ensuing weeks of the season, and at one of their meetings Ethel told him that her grandmother would not receive him. It was then that Give thought Ethel worldly, d. though much of her attitude was due to the keen and unreienting Lady Kew. The colonel and James Binnie during all this time put their two fond heads together, and Mrs. Mackenzie fnttered both of them and Give as well.
 Meanwhile the Lady Cara was not
