"1 should think you anil he should

"Well, I don't. I'm delighted he's
coming. Hie-, iik'! ' uliitu'lnj at tho
I'loclc, I've only half tin hour to see
iiiiinit hU sheets tinil things', and I
(lout bdlovo llrhlgot Inn thought
about lighting a llio In his room. ;
Thi'i'e! (iood-by for a while. I must
run. "Mo II Kill me It lie buds him
self without a !. in his round"
Mie rushes out of the room in she
had entered it -like a houvonly
Spring wind that brings only joy to
tho rueeivur of It. Kyro, stilling af
ter, feeling n ipiiok throb at his heart.
What a delight she Is! Mow dill'ero'it
from most girl-! And this eou-in of
hers this Audv! No doubt ho is a
young Adonis; 'a "curled darling" si
ci o.i lire iriir boy. half man :ud
wholly ehnnnliig. Hut she 1- not in
love with him. So much e in bo road
by those who run.
When l.e dot's sou Audj, which is
three hours later, his astonishment
knows no bounds. Andy is indeed n
resolution! Ho is perhaps tho ugliest
young Irishman on record, mid tint is
saying a good deal. As handsome a.s
Irisli women undoubtedly nro. so in
proportion are Irish moti hidouu-.
Hut his iiiaunei's made up for n
good deal. Ho is full of houliomio,
brimming over indeed with tho milk
of human kindness. In the eouro of
the Ilvo minutes ho is permitted to
speak with Mr. Kyro, who is still con
sidered mi invalid, ho lires oil as many
jokes as would have made a reason
able supply for a month with anybody
else.
Having then rmid ho foil he ought to
go iiiul pro-out himself to The Mo
Dermot, who is hi- guardian, ho beats
a retreat, dragging Duleio into tho
corridor outside as ho goes.
"I say, ho Isn't half a bad fellow;
but he isn't lit to hold a candle to Mr
Kulpli." says ho in n whisper, still
clutching Duleio by the arm.
"Von know my opinion of Sir
Ttalph!" returns she. trying uuuvuil
Ingl.V to extricate hcr.-ell from his
grn-p.
"(iirls never have an opinion worth
n ha'penny!"' retorts he. lotting her
go with a di-gitslod grimace. Already
one of tho ijtiurrols!
CHAPTKK VII.
"Honor's a mistress nil mankind pursue:
Yet must mist.ilto the false one iur tho
true.'
Kyro having received permis'ioii.
mid being anxious on hi.s own part to
bring matters to a climax, makes an
early opportunity of rcipiusllug it prl
viito Interview with his host. Tho
tlmo chosen is to-day. As wet a day
lis over eamo out of the heavens, and
tho one uftor that on which Andy Me
J)ermot arrived.
Thoro had been a hurried interview
bol.wcen Kyro and Duleio in tho morn
ing. In which the girl hud seemed
downhearted and dispirited, and in
clined to lot mutlor.s stay as they wore,
bad iiH thoy undoubted by must ho con
sidered; but Kyro llrod with sorrow
for her. and determination to save her
from tho impending disaster that
threatens hor namely, her marrlago
with that miscreant Anketcll had re
fused to listen to her fears, and Is now
standing outside Tho MuDorinoi'.s
private den, waiting for admission.
It Is soon given.
Tho den Is an awful agglomeration
of things useful anil useless princi
pally useless but beloved us having
oneo belonged to better days than
these. In tho midst of tho chaos sits
Tho MoDermot. calmly smoking a pipo
that could uovor have seen a bettor
day than this, as it is now as black as
black can bv.
"llless my soul, Mr. Kyre! Von,''
savs lio, rising and pulling forward a
chair for his
guest "you sent mo

"No. thanks.

Tho fact is, I -I wanted to

"About iiiv duuglitor?" Tho Mo-
Dormot lays douj) tho doeantor. and
turns hlsoyos full upon Kyre. "Well,
and what about hor!'"
"la Is a lltflo dillloilt to explain to

you want InVtoll mo you have fallen In

mid therefore you think hor coming

' Not iniquitous no much as mis

No, I shall not permit you!'' inter,
rupted Kyre passionately. "Is every

when the be-t, tho nio-t lionotable

"Vou are (.loiiuent. lr.' -avs The i
MoDermot, with u re-eived smile.
"Forgive me if I hi oak in upon your
admirable ilis-ertaiion on the woik
points of society. "Vou say my
daughter Is unhappj. May I suit your
authority for that speech?"
Certainly," hotly. "She herself
ha- mid so!"
'Kxoollont authority indeed! My
ilauehter." grimly, "is evidently a
greater fool than 1 thought her!"
Vou mi-judge hor." says tho
joung man. eagerly.
'I he McDerinot let his oyos rest on
him for a moment. "I can follow
your line ol thought," mivs he, slowly,
"The woman who could appreciate
you lould lie no fool, eh?
"Sir!'' says Kjre. frowning.
"Hut nro you so sure of her atl'ee
Hon? Is every young girl's tlrst word
worthy of credit?"
"I desire to keep to the point," say.s
Kyre, a little haughtily. "I can oiler
your daughter a position. I, on my
uncle's death, -hall Inherit a title. 1
cm oiror her (piito as much ns Sir
Halph can. I "
"lr!" interrupts Tho McDerinot.
sternly, "If you could inaku her a
duchess, I should still decline your
proposal. My daughter has given" her
word to marry Sir Halph Anketoll,
and by that word sho shall abide!"
So it is all over, then in that quar
ter, at all events. Kjto, having ' bow
ed himself out of his host's presence,
after forcing him-elf, as in duly bound,
to mako courteous acknowledgement
of hospitality received, which no
ki'owledgeinent has been as courteous
ly accepted, has sent a message to the
village for a trap to Idko him and his
belongings to tho inn down thoro as
soon ns inny be. lie is raging with
indignation and disgust. That old
(loth! Ho will give his daughter to a
man sho hates just beenu-e in a fool
ish moment the poor girl lias been co
erced into an engagement with him.
Never lind tho spirit of Don (juixoto
been so strongly reproduced as in Mr.
Kyio's heart at this moment. Ho will
come to her aid, father or no father!
What! would any man stand still and
see a girl vvutitoiily, deliberately sae
rillced, and not put out a hand to help
--to save.' If so. his iiaiuo is not lai
cien Kyre!
To see Dulciiiei I-, however, neces

tho plot laid against her happiness.
I'p to tills, poor child, sho has re

John F. was a soldier. Ho was a
member of the Tenth Maine regiment
and orderly sergeant of his company.
Ho was every inclia soldier, brave anil
true, albeit a little pro no to slick to
the letter rather than tho spirit of tho
law.
The articles of war wore his study
his vale iiiih'iiiii, uccordliig to tho
New York Ledger. In short, ho was
excessively military military all
throiioh. At tho cloc of the lute war
John camo homo and was shortly after
ward Installed Into tho responsible po
sition of sexton of our church, and
lie straightened things out wonder
fully. On tho very llr-t Sabbath after his
taking chin go wo found posted upon
the wall of the church vestibule an
Imposing document, headed' "(ieueral
Order No. 1."
Thoro had been troublu lu certain
quarto '9 resulting from tho difficulty
which ladies who camo to church late
found in gaining tholrseats when gen
tlemen had got in ahead of them.
John determined to remedy this, so ho
issued "(ieueral Order No. I." which
read as follow?:
"Holes to bo observed when u lady
wishes to enter a pow lu which gen
tlemen nro alreadv seated: Lot tho
lady ndvanco ono pace beyond the
pow, halt, about race ami salute. 1 ho
pew will bo vacated by the gentlomon
by a flank movement.
The squad should rlso simultan
eously when tho lady presents hersoif.
and faeo outward then doploy Into tho
aisle, the head man facing tho lady,
the others passing to his rear, when
if nocossiiry. tho line will bo porfoctod
up and down tho aislo by right or left
counter march, as the case may re
quire, tlio right in front.
"Tlio lady, when tho way Is clear
will salute again, and ndvanco to her
position in tho pow, after which tho
gentlemen will broak from the roar
obliquely and resume their places.
-Fartles performing this ovolullon
have possession of tho alslo until It Is
completed, and nono others will inter,
