OOO. It is he who corn palled my father to go with him every day to Monts Clark.. He said he would dog him till he got the money somehow. But my father has not made £lOO in he six months, and now Mr. Mel. villa says if I will marry him he will leave my father alone and never, mention the money again. I marry him to-morrow in London." "But you have not consented. They can't eonspsi you I" "I have comisnted. It is the only thing that can says my father. Be is to lire with me, but he has promised not to game again, and Mr. Belville hue promised never to interfere with him in any why.', " That is my story, and thank you for listening to me. I felt like the anoiant mariner, who must pour out his tale to someone," she said, with mob a sad little smile that my heart ached for her. I made up my mind to MOWS tier come what might. It had not taken long to relate the dory, and we were etill fast suicide the bar. I had no time to put questions—save one. "Here you no relativefi, no friends IA 111 r I haven't a friend in the wide world—bet you," she added, again putting her hand on mine. Now I made a sadden plan. Mn, I must explain things a little brisk I had an eccentric nettle. He had died recently; indeed, I still wore black in respett of his memory. Before he died he made a irnll, and in it he bequeathed £lO,OOO to his nephew, Harry Fuming on condition that be married in lees than six months after his uncle • decease ; failing this the money woe to be divided among oertain charities.  I em Harry Ytteniss, and up to this time I had Dever seen the woman I should like to marry. The six moo*, were all but up, and I had come to theooneltision abet I must let that £lO,OOO go to the "dimities. .I did not want it so go to the charities, but mehow. I could not make up my mind to earn it money in the way proposed. Now I felt that my time had come. 'My heart went out to th pretty girl with the tragic fate hanging over hr. Ten thousand pounds I Just the thing I e gino fatale', who, from his daughter's eoc.nt and my observation, I judged to he weak in ahsraoter and easily swayed, would pat ell hindranos in the way when the money was paid ; but the other man, Mr. Belville, what would he have to say? Well, I did not stop to consider his feelings ; I turned to the girl : 'Look here I Ybu must do just as I bid on, and you (shall be saved." She turned her beautiful eyes upon me, and a light bioks over Iter face; bat she only elapsed her hands and looked at me. "Xou muee be married to-morrow, but—to me. I all at least be better then Mr. Bel vale in une respect—l don't gamble. I come into £lO,OOO on my marriage ; that, ten times that, if had it, I will willingly give for your ransom. ft Ido not mistake you, anything will be better to you than life with that man." "But you? " she cried, " Oh ! I cannot —" " Hush; we hare no time to lose. I believe events have been leading us both up to this. I can desire nothing better than to be your husband." Well, it wow about the quickest courtship that wee ever earned on in a civilised country, but it was all settled before the two men came up on dank. . _  "1 will explain it to my father," whiepered my proniisad bride; and her face was on / how changed. " And I will tackle Mr. Belville," I field, with • teassuring presture of her hand. And I did traria Mr. Belville ; and soon settled Mattere with him. The girl hod consented to marry him under preesure of circuit, statioes. She gave hermit in lieu of £lO,OOO, now e n had, or would have, that num ; would be take the money? If not, then be must bring bin action for biriach of promise, and run the mile of losing all. For I lid not think that any jury in England would bring in a rercliot for the plaintiff with that girl-face before them. By the looks of my man I thought he would not like to easy long enough upon British soil to bring numb an action. Mr. Bolvillo bred money, but he had determined to marry the girl ; nod the mow, he suspected her aversion to himelf, tee in, re he reeol red to carry out hit intention. But this time he was nonpolsed. As aeon u we retched London I had an inter. view will/ my uncle's " couficientiel family solicitor " • before night paid £lO,OOO into the bands of Mr. &leaks ; and the veto, next day minor I hed (fret moo my bride we were quietly married. Thin old adage wee wrung for once—we married in butte, certainly, but Wb have not repented at leisure. L C.
