Then the hue and cry was raised, and I knew that men were pursuing me, but I dare not venture to run lest I should break those fragile things for which I had endangered my soul. It seemed to me infinitely preferable to swing on the gallows than to find one of those exquisite cups In atoms. Even when the morning came and I found that the events of the night were only dreams my state was not very much happler. I could not bear to look at my cab- inet. Something was wanting there, and until u ‘old I had created was properly filled I felt T could find no pleasure tn my former pursuits. “You, although a collector, may think I am Joking, but I assure you Iam hot.

Miss Crof- ton could see the bent of my thoughts, for she said: “It's no use, Mr. Headley, I will not sell them, and I love them too much to give away.” y “As she spoke a thought struck me. I would take her to see the tea-pot, sugar-basin and the other caps and saucers, mourning, as it were, for their long lost brethren. So I con- cealed my vexation, and, making an effort to smile, said: “Tam only admiring, Miss Crofton. But I should be so pleased if you would honor me by calling and looking at my little collection.

I dreamed that Miss (rofton’s maid—a red-| ti cueeked, rough-fingered lass—had broken two of the cups. I saw her do it, and suffered agonies from the sight; also, to make matters | 1 worse, she put the precious fragments (which might have been cemented) in her dust pan, with the intention of throwing them away. 1 y think the greatest feeling of pleasure I had ‘known for many days was to awake and find it only a dream. “I hurried back to town the same day. I felt I could endnre the uncertainty. the anxiety, no ver; and that to obtain my desire any sacri- fice [could make must be made; so—don't laugh teo much—I was resolved upon my re- k Miss Crofton to become Mrs. Head- ley; and then upon the day of our marriage the severed set would be reunited. True, she must be somewhere about fifty, while I was just thirty; but from what I had seen of her I be- lieved she was a very worthy woman; and, any- way, the china would be mine. ‘ou will scarcely credit it, but I carried out my resolution. Two days later I was at the fair | t! spinster’s side beseeching her to be my wife. I could not bring myself to profess a sudden pas- sion for her, but I told her I was tired of living alone, and asked her to share my lot. Isaid I | I was well-to-do inthe world. and promised to as, while speaking, my eyes rested on the four cups and saucers, the cream-Jug and the two dishes, I no doubt pleaded with a show of fervor lady.

I will write and beg her pardon for my silly conduct and trust she will still continue my friend.’ And yet, in spite of these praiseworthy resolutions, the sight of the vacant spaces sent all my good senses to the winds; and,to shorten the tale, I went deliberately, the next afternoon to Shepherd’s Bush, renewed my offer, and left Crofton. She, at least, behaved in a very sensl- ble manner. 2 “You say you wish to marry me,’ she said ‘and I am getting on in years now, so cannot, in justice to myself, refuse such an offer. I have, inquired about you, and every one who knows you speaks In your favor. Still, you may regret your choice, 8o you shall have plenty of time for consideration. “We will not be married for six months, at least.’ “Although, after taking the first should have been glad to go to the depths of my folly without delay, I felt the wisdom of-her words and acquiesced in this arrangement. Ot course, with the new understanding between us, I saw both her and the china nearly every day: and as Mise Crofton was an extremely nice woman, I may say I grew quite to love her—as a mother—and had fate not interposed, should doubtless have married her at the expiration of the time she named, and very probal should have been happy enough after a fashion. One thing was very much to my Lesbia’s credit; she indulged in no raptures, nor did she ex, any from me. When we met or parted I imprinted a kiss upon her forehead, and that was all.
