"She deserves to be mounted in cold, and In Kohl she will be mounted. If you will allow me," Mr. Kvrfcumin hud anlri, and, of course, Multnle's mother had no objection. "Mr. Huyton," Malniie whlsjieeed. He turned and showed her his sad dened face. "It's got to that, has It?" lie said. "After being 'Kalph' for about n score of years, too." "My dear old boy," then said Mai mle. Impulsively, "circumstances have got to be accepted, and it's no use thinking anything else." "So I suppose. Mrenmstanccs em bellished by about n million sterlini:." "You have no right to reproach me like that!" "No? TJien I reckon no one bus the right. However" (Kalph pulled him self together ami looked the gallant fellow he wasl, "as I have no intention of surrendering without a murmur, Kit me say my little word and depni-l." "What have you got to wiy?" asked Malniie, lief voice trembled ever so slightly. "Why, Just this, Malniie, If you will excuse the liberty I take with -your name, I love you as fondly ns man cuu love a woman, ami If I do not marry you I stipMise I shall go sing!e to the grave. Hut that wouldn't mutter much, I expect. The main thiug Is this: I've had a lift In my di-parlinent, and my Income Is now fson per an num. On that, if you would look on me wltli favor " lie hesitated. In spite of lils re atnilned, hnlf-iroulcal humor, the yearning tone got Into his words. "It Im Impossible, Italph; quite im possible." Italph shrugged Ida shoulders. "So I supposed," lie remarked. "You may as well have my scalp, thnugli. I've been told ladles enjoy these con quests when the sere-nnd-yellow-leaf time comes." "You are cruel," murmured Malmle, "Am I? Then I apologize. I'ti'll three months ago I was under the im pression that we were all the world lo each other, and that a suitable Income was tbe only hindrance to me as an ac ceptable suitor for your dear lianil." "I never siilil so." ".No. It was your mother. There fore, I will Infer nothing. (!ood by." Malmle's blue eyes had tears In them. She knew now what this parting meant to her, as well as to liiui.' She did not put her hand Into hl- for it moment or two. She did not cvc:i look at him. It was not without ft strong effort thai Italph kept from Inking Iter In hia nrms, In spite of everything.

"I do uot difipair,'' tie said, ."for I Isitli iiect flud Iiate inv lial." There waa 8 rustle of silk and In sailed Mrs. Wrottesley. She had hear') these last words and was angry. "My daughter will marry Mr. Fer guson next mouth." she said, with the Ktoniiiess of demeanor that must have reconciled her late husband lu his early demise. "There can be no uestl n alsiut rivalry in this maer. Uood af ternoon, Mr. Ituyton. King t'.e bell, Malniie." Italph Ituyton went bark to town both irritated and depressed. Not 1m iug a very original young ioju, lie could think of no more original way of fighting the great Ixmuld Ferguson, late of Melltourne and CoolgardiL'. than in calling ill the aid of u detective. James I'oiler. the detective 'ligaged. encouraged him mightily by not laugh ing when he heard all Italph bad to say. "You Ki-c," said Italph. apologetli-ii-ly, "there's nothing really -.i gains! him that 1 know of, but " "Hut there's a large tield of possibili ties, finite When does this inr rlage take place?" "Ill five or six weeks. I snppos.-," said Italph. dismally. "We must thank heaven for the in vention of telegraphy. You w'sh no expenses spa red ?" "f'p to a few hundred, you I. now," Italph replied. "Very good. Then I will lie oil to t tie city Immediately. If Mr. Ferguson lias any virtues and any failings I snail certainly hear of them there." 'Then I may really hope?" "To the extent of the few huml v is yon c;ii, n fiord to expend lu the mat " .Mr. liiiylim." said the d'tectiv. II. lu these words there seemed to Italph, after the expiration of a week, no en couragement. Mr. I'orter had absolutely nothing to tell him in derogation of Mr. Fergu son's pocket, which hud perhaps nat urally appeared bin only assailable side. "I wish, sir." said the detective, "that my credit was as good as this Aus tralian gentleman's. Folks s-nnck their lips when they speak of hiin." Whereat Italph groaned. "We may as well slop, tlen." he murmured. "You Just leave it Willi me," he said. "We've not done with 1 1 1 m yet. I'll tell you soon enough when it's a nope less case." And so Italph went nig way with n shoulder shrug, and made nil miinm-r of foolish mistakes at. the office, for the nearer Malmle's wedding day ap proached the less he was able to live like the promising young man he had been accounted - before Iionald Fer guson came on the scene. The last week arrived. The Impending luiiitlige had been mentioned )u the papers, and Maii'de's wedding gown had been .loscribed in two or three of the ladies' weeklies. Ralph's own particular chums, who knew how hard he was lilt, had done their best with him -and failed. They could not convince hlin that there was as good fish in the North Sea us any that reached (Jrimshy market. Nei ther could they persuade hliu that Mai mle Wrottesley was n henrtles-i minx and worth no true mini's adoration. Meantime .Mr. Porter had not neeii ac cessible. Italph had culled twice and lu'il not seen hiin. He had written and re ceived no answer. The truth whs that his cllen. Irri tated the good detective, w.io prefer red not to see Italph until he had hit what lie was alining at, or wiih positive lie never could hit It. Mr. I'orter was. In fact, "not at home" to Italph Huy ton. This, if Italph could have ki.own H. would have made yet one more of those pleasant arrows which tile lutes Just then took delight In shooting at him. As It was. lie thought comparativl,' little about the detective, and till about Malmle. He had seen her and the ('oolg.ir.l'e man driving together (with Mrs. Wrot tesleyl In the row, and he had seen them together In n Hotid street shop. If he could Judge by Malmle's face she was prodigiously happy. And he did so Judge. Mrs. Wrottesley wan wiser. She knew better. Now that the mnrrlnge whh only three days distant this as tute lady felt sure nothing could keep her from being mother-in-law to a millionaire. Hut instinct told her so much that was in her daughter's mind that she longed Intensely for the quick and wife, transit of these laat three days. Needless anxiety, you would have thought, if you could have seen the marriage ceremony, which whs duly celebrated with all the pomp exacted of the rich by Hauie Fushlon. There was uot hitch anywhere. True, Mal mle was very pale, and once held her hand to her heart. Hut other brides did the same thing, and were uot a wlilt less happy for It hs wives. Then ciime the breakfast, and soon afterward Mr. and Mi. Ferguson were carried north. Malniie hankered after the lakes for a honeymoon, said her mamma, and so Mr. Ferguson had engaged rooms at a Windermere hotel. Matters had got (hits far. Indeed, ere Mr. I'orter obtruded himself upon the unhappy Kalph. The latter was at the oIHee, after ii n Ineffectual luncheon, when the detective nppenred. "Well, Mr. I'or " Italph was be ginning, with great Irony, when the other stopped him, "There' no time for talk, air," he exclaimed. "Come with me nt once." "Hut do you know " "I know everything. Thnt confound ed ship only came In nt II o'clock this morning, nrul I couldn't trtiat my doc ument, until them. I've thought It beat to charter n spechil for n all." The detective spoke with unction. He enjoyed his client's surprise i:n measurably. "I'll explain it all us we go along iu the hansom," he added. "The oilier are already ut F.ustou." It was Kalph 'a tutu to feel faint. However. Mr. I'orter's subsequent words were Iietter for him than sal volatile. "There was another woman iu the case." ran I'orter's tale. "I learned that from a Mellsiuine man who kuew the parties. He vowed Ferguson was married to her eight years ago. How ever, they're a wide-awake lot in Mel lHiuriie. and. thanks quite as much to that MiIIm.iii in- man (who lias a mighty fine grudge against Ferguson as to your "hundreds). Mr. Ituyton. every- i thing's clear. The wife herself and her eldest boy are at Huston. She has the ! certificate, and ihe lad's face tell its own tali-, oh, it's just a beautiful lot of piecing throughout, and all we've to do is to lix up the rogue about sup per time." Italph' feelings may be imagined. I lappily, there w as no ditiiculty about the train. It could be so managed thai this special arrived even before the other, carrying M.iimie and Ihe man who was not her husband. of the journey ill both cases nothing need be said except this: M iimie came near wishing there could be a collis ion, with her ih alh ns one of I he conse quences. Mr. Ferguson's veiieer of v lineineiit iwis ;.-! ruthlessly aside be tween London .ind Windermere. She w:is by no means the conventionally happy wife on her wedding day when she was invited to leave the 'rain for the luxurious carriage that was await ing lh in. Hut at the hotel, much to the mana ger's chagrin, a dramatic scene had been arranged for them. The millionaire's face w as w real lied in smiles .-is lie handed Mnimic across the hotel threshold. "At hist !" lie excla lined. The next moment he stalled and swore. A woman and a boy approach ed liiui in the vestibule. "Iionald!" said the former, and the boy exclaimed: "Father!" Tlie woman's eyes were tear-st.iineil and reproachful. They did not look UT Mn iiuie. however. "This Is a plot. Who is in it?" then cried the millionaire. He glanced at Maiinie, whose agitation was utiinls hikable. "You don't believe this non sense, my dear?" Hut Mamie only looked at the boy; that sufliceil. "I'm in it, Iionald Ferguson, at your service," then said Mr. I'orter, Intuit ing; the millionaire ids card. "Further more, I have to place you under ar rest." Kalph also stepped forward, trem bling, with eyes for Maiinie iind no one else. "Maiinie," he murmured, "shall I take yon home?" Hut foi'answ er the bride who was no bride could only si a miner. "Oh, Kalph." and faint Into 'his arms. When she recovered her senses Mr. Ferguson was out of Westmoreland mid she was being excellently eared for by a sympathetic domestic. The next morning Mrs. Wrottesley appeared on tln scene In a prodigious rage. Nor was her rage much ii bated by the resignation -even bright resig nation of Muimie under this terrible blow. As for Italph. he had hurried back to town in the night and was a changed ma n at tlie oltiee the next clay. After the formal dissolution of the marriage that was no marriage, even Mrs. Wrottesley thought her daughter might as well marry Kalph. And neither Italph nor Malinlo cared for the slight slur that the Ferguson affair had cast upon the latter as a candidate for a husband. Scottish Lender. iert injr a Pointer. "You are a farmer.
