TIFFANY. 9 i <l K IZOTOTOTOTOTITOTOTOTOTITOTOTITISOTOTOTOTITITENI0L | den After 1 had been admitted to the bar, my father considering it best that I should have the opportunity of gaining experience in a large city be- fore entering his own office, 1 went west, where I became associated with a law firm, the head of which was an | old college friend of father’s. Mr. Marsden impressed me at first as my beau ideal of a man; while Mrs. Marsden was one of those ma- tronly ladies, with a certain old-world courtliness of manner, sweet and en- dearing. There was a son, named Fred, about two years older than I, who appeared to be a jolly good fel- low. “Lilian,” said Mrs, Marsden, as a young lady entered the room, “this i8 Mr. Donald Fairchild. My daughter, Donald.” Miss Marsden and I shook hands. “This is Lilian’s twentieth birth- day,” Mrs. Marsden observed, evident- ly for the purpose of relieving my em- barrassment. “She is our only daugh- ter, Mr. Fairchild.’ “I am sure, Miss Marsden,” I said, finding my tongue at last, “I wish you many very happy returns of your birthday.” It would be impossible to convey any adequate idea of the unalloyed delight of my first few days in the city. At the end of a week I had ac- complished three things: I had se- cured nice room for my private quar- ters; been assigned a place in the offices of the firm, to which I was ad- mitted as a j@nior partner, and fallen head over ears in love. Mr. and Mrs, Marsder my,. nave | known how ‘things were going, but the krGwledge appeared to cause them Bjo uneasiness. 1 ./had been here about six Months, when I was entrusted with a commission that took me to Massa- chusetts—which, by the way, was the place whcre Mr. Marsden first be- came acquainted with his wife. It was there that they were married. My business was to look up the title to certain real estate in Boston, and to obtain authenticated records proving the validity of a client’s claim thereto. Before starting on my journey, I declared my passion to Lilian, and became her accepted suitor, with the approval of her parents. At the end of three days I had fin- ished my search in Boston and armed myself with certified copies of the entries discovered. But—alas, for my success! I had found something else—something for which T was not looking—something that took all the interest out of my mission and made life seem & hide- 5 mockery and burden. : ouStandlng out, as if written in let: regions, I found this entry in the rec- ord of births in Boston. “December 14, 1860—Lilian Agnes, daughter of John an A.nd this was January, 1896! My affianced, who had b.een intro- duced to me on her twentieth birth- i day, six months ago, was 2 charmitg | progressive, damsel of thirty-six! west, I found Fred busy return to the e of musty docu- poring over & pil | ments. “Glad to see you back, said, “I'm just looking over some h_:- teresting family papers. Fafl}er is at work on our genealogical history. 1 suppose you know we came over in the Mayflower?” ) ] wasn't aware of it,” 1 replied; “but you wouldn't surprise me if you told me you came over in the ark. How did your sister stand the voy- o ag“?What the deuce is the matter with you, Fairchild?” Marsden asked- col- oring. “Well—don't you see—this paper proves she is thirty-six?” Marsden whistled, and laughed. “Look here, Don,” he said; “I think 1 ought to break your neck, instead of laughing at you—but it's too absurd My parent’s first child was a girl, who Don,” he then he born nine years later; and five years after that came another girl Lilian was a favorite name with my father; and the first child having died in in- fancy, they decided to- revive the name. Accordinglv, the second daugh- ter was cristened Lilian, And ] gave my head two or three 2000 bhaags against the wall. After which, I felt better. Where He Was Welcome. Picking himself up after a rapid flight down the stairs, the young man broke forth: “0Of course, it is your privilege to man,” he said, “but there is no need of adding insult to injury by having me land on a mat which has the word | ‘Welcome’ woven in it.” “There is nothing wrong in that,” remarked the cause of his sudden de- . scne, “you are welcome—" “But you threw me out!” “—on the outside of the house, where the mat lies, sir!” concluded the man of the house, closing the window. | On the Make.
