Margo sought an j “I supposed,” said Marge, with a dawn of intere-st, “that Miss Tramlay was to mai*ry young Hayn.” “dVhat! that country clerk of her lather’s?” said the man, with the couHdeuce born of to members. As for E. & YV., iastead of recovering it had gone lower ami lower, until operations in it almost ceased. Tlia president, utterly ruined, retired from ofliee, turned over aU his projierty to his creditors, and went abroad to recover his shattered health or to die, he did not much care which. Marge sold his house a t auction, and while earily aw.aitiiig the cmeumlocution of “searching title” which uece.ssarily preceded bis getting full payment lie betook himself to Boston. To avoid speculation was impossible; it bad been his life for years; and as bo fodiid mining shares w ere within his reach ho began again to opi-rnto in tv small way. The little he had .seen of mines while on the fateful E. & YV. excursion was so mtich more than the majority of those about him knew on the subject that lio made a few lucky turns, and he llnally interested some acquaintances iu a promising silver property he had seen in the west. His a<.quaiutaucessuectH?tleil in getting tho property \ILsteiT'at one of the Xew York exchanges, and Marge, with new liopes and a great deal of desperation, risked nearly all he liad on tlie Briglitln ipe mine. The sehema worked tiuely for some weeks. It was skillfully managed by the Bostonians iutorested, they oveu succeeded iu getting a great deal about it into the uew.-papers of both cities. But—alas for the wiekednes-s of human nature 1—one day tho company were horriOed to learn that their title to the prop erty was hopelessly defective. YVhen this fact became indisputable, Brightbope stock iblcd farther thim E. & YYA-tumbled ■rly out of sight; and all the assets of tho company, e.xcept the safe ami two de-ks, were sold to a paper stoek dealer a t a cent a pound. Then Marge thought seriously of suicide. Ho had but a tliousjind or two dollars loft; how could he operate in anything on tlmt small sum and support himself be-tiles? Ho could add sometliing to tho sum by selling his horses and carriage, but sueli things always had to go a t a sacrifice; bitsidcs, there would I a terrible bill to be paid for tlin raainte- inoe of the animals during the two or throe montlis in wliich lie liad li« ii absent from Stilk the thought of suicide did not im prove on acquaintance. YY^hilo there was life tliiro wtis hope. Why .shouldn’t he go buck to New York, bravo everythiug, and start allow to the bast of bis ability? Other men liad pocketed their pride; and, although his own pride was frightfully largo to be submitted to such treatment, ho did not know that tlm operation would give him any said ignorauee. “Xonsense! YY by, it seems only the other d.ay that I heard someone laughing about that follow’s infatuation. Oh, no; now that tliey'ro rich they'll want to marry their daughter to somoonoof social standing. ludeiHl, I heard some one say as much. The mother is very ambitious in that line, you Margo soon excused himself, lit a strong cigar and betook himself to a solitary walk and some hard thinking. There was perhaps a grand point to be made on that fellow’s suggestion. From wliat he knew of Mrs. Tramlay—and he informed himself that no one knew that lady better—ho would not be surprised if an approved society man might now be entirely welcome .os a husband for Lucia, even if ho were as poor a s . a church mouse. And Lucia herself-had slie not al ways longed for larger and more prorainent society than she had yet enjoyed?

Then he heard Lucie proaclied c I osd enough to see that they were Jooliing at tho floor plan of a house, spread i’;»on the table. “ Jly heart is set upon having that room for my very own,” said Margie. “The young lady of the family always has first choice, after her parents.” “Not where there is a bride to be provided for,” Mrs. Tramlay repHei “YVell said, mamma. There, Margie,” said Lucia; “that room is for Phil and me.” “Here,” said Tramlay, entering from the library, with a large sheet of paper iu bis hand, “is the plan of— YY’hy, Marge!—bless mysoull—when did you get back, old fellow?*’ “Mr. Marge r ’ exclaimed the three ladies iu “ Anri of coui-s© there wius sxicU a clatter here, tbci'c lieing tbi’ea women togctlier. that no body could hear a word.” was equal to the as she exclaimed: “Just in time to see tho plans of the villa we're to have at Haynton Bay.

This is the principal cliainber floor; it fronts that way, toward the water, and I've just ,been cheated out of the darliiige-t room of aU; it’s been set apart as .sacred to t be bride and groom. As if the silly things wouJJ care to look at water or anything else but each “It will bo as handsome a house as there is on the coast,” said Tramlay, “though your humble servaut will bo its owner. Say', old fellow, you need New Y^ork air; you don’t look as well as usual.” “ A loir; day of travel—that is all,” said Mtii'gc, n itli a feeble smilo that seemed re luctant to r..>-poud to the demand imposed Mr.s. Tramlay rang for a .servant and ■whispiorcd: “A glass of wine for Mr. Margo.” “Haynton Bay is booming,” remarked Tramlay. \Have you heard any particulars recently?\ •‘None at all,” drawled Marge. “I have been so busy that— Tuank you, iirs.

A day or two later the party from the c ity arrived, and great was the excitement in the village. Sol Mantring’s wife, who had learned of what was expetited, made a trip to Hayn Farm daily on one pretext or other, reaching there always just before the time of the arrival of the train from the city, received the deserved reward of her industry, and be fore sunset of the day on which the p a rty ar rived everybody in tho village knew that when Lucia stepped from the carriage a t the fai-m house door Mi’s. Hayn caught her in her arms and almost hugged the life out of her. Everybody knew, also, that the party was to be there for only twenty-four houi-s. The shorrne.ss of the time a t their disixjsal was probahly the reason that Phil and Lucia disappeai'ed almost immediately after the meal which quickly followed their arrival. They went to the lily pond; there were no lilies yet ujxm the water, but the couple did not notice their absence; they could see them just where they should be—just tvhere they were ten mouths before. They got agaiii into the old birch bark canoe; i t was not ns clean as it should have been for the sake of Lucia’s expensive traveling dre.ss, for the small boys of the Hayn family had not taken as gootl care of it as Phil would do, but Phil made a cusliioii of leaves, wliich Lucia slowly expanded into a couch, as she half reclined while she identified the scenes which her farmer boy guideaiid boatman had shown her the summer before. Phil thought her expres sion angelic .as she drejimlly gazed about her; yet w hen her eyeS reverted to him, asthey freqneutly did, he informed himself that there were even gradations of angelic expression. They even rode in the old beach wagon: the ocean was still a.s cold as winter; bathing was out of I he question, but Phil had a per sistent fancy for reminding his sweetheart of every cliaiige there had been in their ivla- tioiis, and in himself; and Lucia umlerstood “It’s dreadfully mean of those two to go off by themselves and not help us have any fun,” complained Margie to Agnes Diiion, when the latter returned from a stroll with Mr. and Mrs. Tramlay, during whicli slie had selected a satisfactorysatisfactory cottageottage site.e. “Lot’sLot’s haveve a c sit “ ha a nil.
