Before the expiration ot a week, it was known to all Cistleford â€" to all the country famihcs in the ueiahborhood â€" that Miss Katheriue Dati(;eriield, of Scarewood Park, was engaged to Mr. Gaston Dantree, of â€" nobody knows wticrc. Uad any anV other baronet's daugh- ter so fur stooped to disgrace tiiejr code and tlicir oidrr, th;; county fa'milies would have stood paralyzed at tbe desecration. IJeiiitjiiliau Dauffovfiold, nobody wondered. It was only a piece wi^b all the rest. What could you expect of a young pei-ftou â€" the term of lady would have beeu a mis uomer â€" nf a j'oung person with some of the best blrt.xl in Sussex iu ber veins, who persisted iu scamperin!;; over tbe downs and the coast for miles without a groom â€" who treated her venerable father as thcugh ho were a child of twelve, who wore her hair streaming dowu her back at the mature age of seventeen, who called every Goody aud Gaffer iu the parish by their cliristiau name, who wan quite capable of speak- ing to anybody without an introduc- tion, who Unew every game that could be played ou the cards, auJ who talk ed slang What could you expect of a demoralized young woman like this The Dan;;orfield lineage was unexcep- tional â€" there muit he a cross- some- where, a bar sinister on tho mother's side it was wild impossiLility the old blood could degenerate in this way. Who was Mr. Gaston Dantree Tiie county families asked the question with iutense curiositj' uow, and found the answer all too mea?ro. Mr. Dan- tree himself responded to it with that perfect high-bred self-possession which characterized him and everybodj' had to take bis own account, or go look for proof, 'I am an American â€" a Sonlheuer, as yo'i know,' Mr. Dantree bad said 'my native State is Lon«iana. I aiu that famous bi-storical personage, "the son of poor but honest parents," now and for many years dea(l. By profes- sion I am a jourualist I am connected with the \ew Orlrans P An un- expected windfall, in the way of a small legacy, enabled mc, six months ago, to realize a long-chorished dream of a ine aud visit England. My leave of absence expires in two months, when I must eitli«r return to New Or- leans or â€" ' Here Mr. Dantree was wont to break oft if Miss Dangerfield were presfiut, with a profound sigh, and glance that spoke lexicons. Squire Taltiot, of Morecambe, with whom Mr. Dantree had come down to Loudon, and with whom he was still staying, when brought upon the stand in turn aud croei examined, could throw yery little more light on bis guest's antecedeuts. 'Deuced sorry, uow. Sir John, I ey- er did bring the fellow down,' young Mr. Tolbot said, the first time he met the -baronet, pulling his tawuy mous- tache with gloomy ferocity 'but how tbe deuce could I tell Miss Dangerfield would go aud â€" no, I mean Daatree, be banged to bim â€" would go and make love to Miss Dangerfield? I put it to yourself- bow cculd I, Sir John I'm deuced sorry, and all that, but I don't know a blessed thing about bim except that "he's a jolly good fel- low," as the song says, tells a capitol story, sings like an American Sims Beeves, aud can punish more cham- pagne of a nigbt and rise none tue worse for it the next day than auy fellow' â€" Squire Talbot pronounced it 'feller' â€" 'I ever knew. I met bim first at a dinner at the Guards' Club, then a Sunday breakfast at Lord Leabam's â€" invited to both these places, you un- derstand, to sing. Ue knew lota of newspaper meu â€" wrote flimaies him- self for the sporting joamals, and when I asked him â€" confound it I â€" ^to run down with me to my place in Bus- sex, he consented at once. And I am deuced sorry, Bir John,' reiterated Hquire Talbot, going oyer tbe same ground again 'and I hope whatever happens, yon know, yoa'U not blame me.' 'I blame nobody,' the old baronet answered wearily 'these things are to bo, I suppose. I shall write to New Orleans aud make enqoiries eouoem- ing this yoong man; I can dn no more. Katherine is uiCatoated â€" pray Heaven her eyes may not be opened in my dart' Vrs. Tatasor was perhaps the only ooe -who beard with ualloyed satiafae- (iod of Kathenae'a enddan engage, ment. •What did It^ yov, Sir John?' dw said, triaapbantiy. 'What do ym thiak of BgrpeweMnf divioataasi ' It's nther » nwlhanns, ian't Wi-tak berttklr*! daaghter.ntOier a mad afiur altogether. Bat, dear child â€" she is so impalsuve, and m self- reliant, and so hopelessly obati â€" no, that's not a pleasant word â€" so resolnte and firm, let ns say. that remonstrance is quite thrown away npon her. Let us pity her. Bbr John, ratbtt than blame she comes by all those admir- able traits of character honestly enough â€" inherited from ber mother. And when is the wedding to take place?' Sbe threw her bead back against tbe purple- Telvet eusbiors of ber chair, and looked at tbe baronet with mali- eiously sparkling black eyas. 'I don't ask merely firom idle cari- osity,' Mrs. Vavasor went on, as tbe badgered baronet's answer was a sort of a g(*oan.; 'I enquire because tbe knowlege mflnenccs my own move- ments. One week before tbe day fix- ed for tbe wedding, I receive from you, my kind benefactor, that cheque for ten thousand pounds â€" a very respect- able haul, by the way â€" and I shake tbe dofit of Scarswood off my feet for ever. My reception by both hoof and hostess was, I roust say, of tbe least cordial, and I am made to feel every hour that I am a most unwelcome in terloper. Still, I bear no malice, and not having any of your taug-azure in my veins, my sensitive feelings arc not wounded. Perhaps a dozen years spent at Baden aud Homburg docs not blunt tbe finer edge of one's nerves. I trust tbe wedding day will not come round too speedily â€" I really like my quarters here. My room commands a huuny southern prospect, your wines are unexceptional, and 'your cook, for an English cook, a treasure. Dou't fix the happy day toonear, Sir John. Dearest Katheriue is so impetuous that she would bo married next week, I dare say» if sbe coulJ.' â-  •I wish to Heaven it were next week, Ro that I might be rid of youl' Sir Jolm broke out. 'Yon bring misfor- tune with you wherever you go 1 Mrs. Haf^an, you shall leave this bouse You sit here with that mocking smile on your face, exulting in j'our power, until it drives me half mad to look at you. Take the enormous bribe you demand â€" I have no right-to give it to von, I know â€" aud go at once. What object can you gain by remaining here?" 'Now, that is an unkind question. What do 1 gain The pleasure of your society, aud that of Miss Danger- field, to be sure the pleasure ol beiuj; hand and glove with the gentry of this ueighborhood, who, like yourself, rath- er give me the cold shoulder, by the way. I wonder bow it is â€" none of them ever saw me at Ilomburg that I know of. I suppose thfi brand of ad- venturess is stamped cu my face.- No, Sir John, not oue hour, not one s?cond soooner than I say, snail I quit Scars^ 'fk'ood Park. If tho weddiinj is fixed for next week, thcu I leave this if for this day ten years, then I remain that long. 1 dare say I should find life slow, and the character of a respect- able British matron of the upper class- es a dismal life; but still, I WkXl.X do it.' He stopricd in bi^ walk and looked at her. The bold eyes met bia un- flinchingly. 'Well, Sir Jolin ' 'Harriet Harman, you have some siuiFter Ccsigii in all this. What have you lo do with Katherines wedding Jay What" has the child done to you tliat ou should bate ber? What have I ever done that you should tor- ment me thus Is it that at the last hour you mean to break your promise and tell Great Heaven I Harriet, is that what you mean ' Her steady color faded for a mo- ment; ber own, with all ber boldness, shifted away from the gaze of the old man's horror-struck eyes. 'What I mean is my -oWu affair,' sbe said, sullenly and I do hate Kath- eriue for her mother's sake aud bet own. Yoti needn't ask mo any ques- tions about it. I want money, Sir John, and tliat promised cheque of course â€" my poor little purse ropleu- ished. See bow empty it is Iâ€" and all my worldly wealth is there.' She laughed as sbe held it up, all ber old audacious mnuer back. Two or three shillings jingled in tho.meEh- es as she held it out. 'I want to replenish my wardrobe I want to pay some bills I want â€" ob millions of things! Fill me oiit a cheqc like tbe princely old solicr you are, and I shall get through the day shopping in Castleiord I will amuse myself spending monoy, while Katlier-I ine amuses herself listening to Mr.; Dantree's fluent love making. He's rather a clever little fellow, that son- iu-law-eleot ofyourr, mydeai baronet, and I don't think be has given us his whole autobiography quit« as it is known iu New Orleans. I don't say there was anythiug oarticularlr clever in bis wooing tbe beiresi of Scarswood, bec:iase any well-looking young man, with a ready toogne and an elegant address, could have done that, Mid my own impression is that Miss Danger- field, like Desdemona, met bim more than half way. I'm ready to wager tbe nuptials will be consumm.ited, within the next three months. Now that cheque, deer Sir John â€" aud do be liberal t' Bh« rose op, and Sir John, with tbe look of a hnnted animal at bay, filled oat a cheque for a hundred pounds and handed it to her. *A sop to Cebems,' tho wiiow said' gaily. 'Do you ku}w, Sir John, I haven't had so much money at once for tbe past five years Homt fortau- ate for me that I met Colonel Danger- field and lady that eventdii day fifteen years ago in the hospital of St. ^zore t And what a comfort to a poor lit- tle widow a great man's secret is! Thank yon, Sir John, my toilettes will do Soairswood credit dariug the remainder of my stay.' Aud Mrs. Vavasor kept her word. The faded silks »nd shabby luces, tii' Palais Boyal diamonds and soiled ploves were consign^ to the lowest depths of obbvion in the widow's trdnka.

In the poetic language of tbe Orientals, yonr talk of the other night is all 'bosh.' It Is Ut- terly impossible that Scarswood sliould ever fall to me.' Mrs. Vavasor laughed in ber agree- able way. '"Impossible" is every big word, friend Peter â€" too big for my vocabul- ary. Sec here, will you give me your written promise that on tbe day Scars- wood and its long rent-roll becomes yours you will yay me ten thousand pounds? It's a tolerable price, but not too much, considering UiC service I will do you.' Us looked :it her daikly Buicl in' doubt.

Mrs. Vavasor lay liacl 'among the cushions and laughed till the echoes rang.
