ADA. Belgravia: *‘Reginald,” said my unelo Jupp— e that always sot my teeth on edge—'*you are a fool; a good- looking one, it is true, but an arrant fool. You have a perfectly unequalled facility for making nmess of everything you are set to do, and thereforc must take the only course which ns I can sco. will enable you 1 ¢ agood looking fool, and marry a girl with money.” Mr. Jupp made this flattering speech in his city counting house, when his clerks had all dieappeaged for what they congidered worth calling dinner, and the eminent tallow merchant was alone with his vephew. Uncle Jupp had a shrewish wife and a couple of children, a portentiously ugly pair, who. of course, would inherit his money, He was not a bad sort of man, though hinlm*fll rudeness in addr ing me was Tnvariable. His checks, however, somewhat softened it. But he was of an irritable temper and of notions. I, on the contrury, was essentially only humn on the sweet ghady side of i’all Mall, having West End tustes and proc mn.. s which would have been fittingly mated with my uncle’s cash. “You've tried Sandhurst, and were jgnominiously plucked; you never had brains for the bar; you fried civil en- gineering, and a protty premiuim 1 pard Orbit & Wheeler, till at length th canceled your articles, as you we demoralizing the office’ by your idle- ness; you tried this office and made nothing of the books but biots; you couldn’t even keep the secretaryship of the Pickled Onions Supply associntion —a nice little thing which any duffer who could writ formal lettér could have held. Why, old Mango; the chairman, my old chum, said®even for me they couldn’t any longer keep a congenital idiot in the berth. Nobody knows the bother you've been to me: you do uothing out get into dent—ex- cept play billiards—and _even then you're alwnys making a hash of it.” All this I listened to silently, not as admitting it, buv on the principle of Jotting mine uncle run himself down. I my pocket his check formy ly allowance, and it was sed amount thereof, from various little extra necessities which a entleman of culture eppreciates, that ad led to this oration. 1 did not ob- ject tolisten. It was a warm day, and hough 1 think the counting house smolls—perhaps imaginarily—rather tallowy, yet it was shady, and the chair I was in was the best in the room, I ghould have hiked a cigar, but the odor of tobacco was a thing Jupp & Co. would never have dreamed of tolerat- ing. My uncle kept on grumbling to him- gelf as he looked over his letters, and at last, turning round on his stool, he eyed me for a moment frowningly. Then he began again, and with an evi- dent relish for his task “You'll have to live on that £100 a year your poor mother left you (I shud- dored), “‘unless you can increase it. 1 can’t go on alloy you an income to fritter away. D've many calls on my (the ordinary formula of all of- vely rich peoplé), “and 've paid a t deal of for y Master l{L;;nmI(l You're luzy naturally, and by long pract nificent blunderer. Indeed, posible to make & mull of anything you’re the man to do it.” Here he paused and rattled the money in his pockets, watching the clock to sec if any of his unhappy clerks over- staid their time, while I wondered if anybody else could show & more uncom- ug old ruffian to be related to. of too refined, too sens mind to engage in a vulgar or personal argument. Besides—which, perbaps, is as potent a reason—I wanted ere the interview ended to borrow some money of Uncle Jupp. Else you may he sure l should not have been sitting on a fine summer’s day in that murky den in Mincing lane—a day on which the very name of tallow seemed odorous. Vs, said my uncle, as if he really liked the taste of the words, “you're lazy, stupid, a spendthrift, a nincom- poop and a blunderor, and you certainly act, 8o fi I have seen, up to each of those characteristics most consistently. But th s y > good- looking. Your father didn’t give you talent, he hadn’t any cleverness, nor had my poor sister, or she’d never have married him, but he gave you a fine name (Lesterley certainly sounds better than Jupp, when you haven't a banking account, that is), and he was a handsome man, and you're, us I said, a handsome fool. Now that’s whore your chance is. There are plenty of plain ¥ with money who dou’t want a hus- band with brains—a barber’s dummy that could simper as you do” (offensive old brute, evén the prospect of a loan hardly compensated )m this srt of pere- sonali *‘and, therefore, I'lolonce mor do something for you. Bul this is really the last time I’ll lend you money enough to cut a good figure at Cowes, where there are some moneyed spin- stors 1 know, for my own friend Plum has a house there now he’s retired. He'll put you up to some good things. Never mind age or looks—cash is the thing. Then you'll be provided for. You require o “wife tokeep you; you never could keep a wife, and ‘you ain’t worth your saltat any sort of occupation, unless’ it were as n shopwalker, and then you'd send the ladies to the wrong departments. So do asI tell you, go down to-morrow, I'll give you the check for expenses now” (oh, delightlul words). “Ishall call at your lodgings to-morrow and pay your rent, tell your landlady, and any other debts. But, re- member, if you don't muke a hit now you needn’t expect uu)\lun" from me.” ST shan’t, uncle,” I murmered, grate- fullv. “Well, whether you do or don't, you won’t get it,” said he as he took out his check book and proceeded to fill upa leaf, *“If you can’t get your nest fonthered now you can go featherless. Your aunt (she was a sour-faced, thin womun, who hated me on account of my good looks contrasting with those of her girl and boy—about as ugly & pairus ou could meet with), **is always grum- ling with me for spending so much money, and she's right,” (henpecked old dodderer). *‘So remember, if you don‘t secure a rich wife this time, you can go to--well, any pluce where ub ass is at a premium.” With these touching words my uncle bhanded me the second check, and, nod- ding in sign of farowell, immersed him- sell in his correspondence, 1 felt much relief as I left the associations of tallow behind me, but not myself until a swift hansom had deposited me at a well- kuown restaurant in the Strand,’after cashing the check on the way. 1 always did hate the city atmosphere. I am not ® business mun—ucver want to be. Some fellows, ke wmyself, are born to adorn life, not to be useful in it. And if a fellow is good-looking, graceful in manner, and has a pretty name like Lesterley, can you wouder if he doesn’c eare for the working bees (who are as much given to show their stings as their honey), u.~iu1,r himsell a butterfly,. Why, certain not. And you are not 1o take all my savave uncle’s rudeness as correct. There were some things that 1 could do—and better than most men. T could walt y,and [ had a Spanish facility for rolling cigarettes, I dined as a gentieman should, and over a really unsury bottle of Burgundy reflected on my Cowes expe- dition. It seemed a great pity thata man with my pwm-n.ll gifts should be the victim of matrimony; but even that resource was better than existing—if men can exist in the proper seuse of the word—on £100 a year. And 1 was in debt. It's all very well, but you can’t expect a man of society to 100k at these things like a grubby man of busimess. 1 had expensive tastes, and ought to have had Mr. Jupp's money. He had none, except for vulgarly show furniture and old port. But I had var ous ones, and, in fact, I was not going to stint myself in the cuitivation of my refined tastes or punt of mere sordid figures. So,on the whole, I fancied my uncle’s vulgar ¢ tions were worth considering. No doubt such a man as I could easily marry money. but it must be a good round sum. And I must have a proper amount settled on myself, and unrestrained liberty of action. And after such a marriage. as there would be no need to cultivate him any more, I should most decidedly drop tho acquaintance of Mr. Jupp and his fam- il Well, the programme fixed for the next day was ied out comple! Unecle Jupp called and paid my rent and various other liabilities—not, of course, like & gentleman, but grumbling in n most ill-bred way at the amount. Then he went with me to Waterloo station and § ly conducted me to my car- rviage for Southampton. I helicve he would have liked to have put me under the guard’s charge, to see that rived at Cowe And us the train moved off he roared out he'd “‘written to Plum!” [ arrived at Cowes.and an obes man, in adr me if 1 was Jupp’s nephew the moment 1 set foot on the pier, adding, with a chuckle, that he knew me by my d seription—whether this w mentary or not I did not e S0 you're here for a wife? he began. “I never beat about the bush, and Tom Jupp and I know each other.

I'll call at your ‘otel in ‘alf an hour and tak: ou round to Mr: Clegson's—daughter’s” g 0 bad-looking by candle-light. got rid of this impetuous old man as soon as I could, and dined at my hotel; but before I could settle down to dessert he bolted in, wouldn’t drink any claret, and said we could get coffee at Violet Villa. So, much against my will, T ac- companied Mr. Plum to a pretty house near the sea. The grounds were very well platted, the nouse apparently very comfortable. As we walked up the little drive, Mr. Plum said, sotto voce: “*Mrs, Clegson’s doosid sharp; don’t want Ady to marry aoy one under a baronet, and she’s alw: on the look- out for fellers without ¢ . But,never you mind ake play with your good looks. Ady’s got a will of her own. And she’s seen the world. T father was consul at several places in the Lavant, and his brother in the cur- rant hne tl and left his niece his fortune. He are.” He rang, and in a minute or two a re- markably neat and pretty servant smil- ingly opened the door, as if Mr. Plum were a familiar visitor. We entered a protty hail and then a charming draw- ing room, where sat a portly lady with keen dark eyes which looked through very forbidding spectacles. Mr. Plum introduced me, and I received a by no meaus gushing reception; but I'was opposite a mirror and my own rellection consoled me. Then Mr. Plum began,as 1 thought,w rather forced bonhowie, to talk to the lady about the various local matters, carefully avoiding any mention of Miss Clegson,who.it seemed, from an allusion casually made, was out at a gacden pa By and by we left, Mrs. Clegson serutinizing me in a most peculiar manner as I wished her good- by. Outside, old Plum chuckled. *‘She guesscs what you’re after,” he said; fghe can smell’a rat anywhere—clever woman,” I said nothing; really these vulgar commercial people have a hyphotizing effect on me. As we turned a corner we met a young lady attended by a hobbledehoy in a cricket suit. This was, 1 supposed, Ada Clegson. So 1t proved. . Miss Ady,” roared my compan- ion, **’ow are you? Let me introduce Mr. Reginald Lesterley, the nephew of a very old chum o’ mine.” She bhowed abruptly, 1 with my usual graceful ease, and I took a good look at my future wife. Good eyes, dark and keen, sallow complexion,nose and lips too coarse, hair flufly and black; on the whole not good- looking.even if she were passable m- candlelight. be pretty girls?” This is a pruhlun worth studying. We turned and walked back, re-en- tered the house on her lu\'llun(m. and found Mrs. Clegson an iceberg. But her daughter was ovidently mistress, and her mamma had to tolerato me. I could see, for I am experienced in such matters, Ada was much impressed by my looks and manners. 1 narrated my London experiences and _acquaintances —for the most part truthfully. I glanced at my foreign tours and adventurs wholly untruthfully, On the whole, I am of opinion I behaved with much greater tact than the prejudiced Uncle Jupp would ever have credited me with. For a first interview I, as Mr. Plum as- sured me when I came out, made play considerably. And I certainly thought v 1l of my uncle. passed on, and my intimacy at Violet villa became great. That pret- ty servant, who I could see was as ap- preciative as her young mistress of my good looks—pity the pair couldn’t ex- change faces—welcomed me with a smile as if I were an accredited inmate of the house. Ada was always glad to seo me. Only Mrs, Clegson remained nnthawed. When 1 looKed at her I always felt she was likely, if any one.to bo responsible for the . affair “being blundered,” as Uncle Jupp once or twice wrote me brief notes to beware of. Another thing was, she had some sort of control, within limits, though I never could quite tell what, over her daughter’s marvinge. She took care never to allow a tete-n-tete between me and Ada; and she had all the letters taken up to her room in o post-bag in the morning, of which bag she kept the key, while at all other hours she always watehed for the post- man, 50 that the opportunities of speak- ing v mind weve always difficult. Well, thus things went on, when there urrived on & visit & nephew of Mus. Clegson, & clean-shaven, sallow, hawk-eyed man, who was in some big company as general manager, and, have no doubt, had “made his pile” out of shareholders. Anyhow, he had some money, 80 the old lady liked him, though I believe Ada only treated him as a cousiu. He was an ugly dog, with the worst cut clothes I ever saw, and a sharp. brusque, energetic way of moy- ing which [ hated, T always did ad- mire the Neapolitan lazzaroni more than any other cluss. Bui, to come to the point, as Mr, Jupp is always bother- ing me to do, old Plum said hé thought my chances wouldn’t be improved by Ned Cutely being down at Cow advised e to strike while the iron was ‘ot, But was it hot? I had never got so far as the brink of a proposal and I was a very bad hand at THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. making any formal speech whatever. Besides, how could a fellow do it when the girl's mother always watched me like a cat? It was all very well for old Jupp to write to me (of course old Plum must zo and interfore) and bully mo for | “dawdling,” and adjure me not to make another blunder, but he hadn’t to do the business I had. I went there at all times and always found Cutely theve. 1 tried to get the protty. maid to give a note to Ada, but Mrs. Clegson always came into the hall and the maid was ev- idently afraid of her, and so I hung about and wondered what was the best thing to do. Mennwhile it got expen- sive, and the hotel bills were diminish- ing ray money. At last I determined to write to Ada; T had squeezed her hand the night before and she had not seemed affronted—nay, I think she re- turnod the pressure—so matters seemed ripe for declaring mysclf. T resolved te, and by the aid of a “‘Letter writer,” which I gave a shilling for in the town, I put a most moving and pa- thetie declaration together. This done, [ debated how to get it into Ada’s hands; the post was imy wble, the prewty servant afraid. Just then a happy thought occurred. There was n buteher’s boy who rode a bay pony ina most furious manner, whom I had fre- quently met in the drive, returning from calling for orde He had al- ways touched his forelock to me, and scemed abnormally sharp: he should be my messenger. So 1 waylaid ~ him~ the next morn- ing and stopped him: I held up half-a- crown, and explained that somehow or other—I left the details to him—he was to slip this note into M Ada’s hands unscen. With a joyous grip, as he pocketed the half-crown, he suid he'd tind some way to do it so that nobody should see, and off he vode. I wentback to my hotel, wrote a letter to Uncle Jupp, saying how things were progress- ing, and then went for a sail, as I wished the day to elapse eve calling to lknow my fate. But there could be littie doubt; Ada had shown in various trifling ways her preference for me, and, after all; such a really handsome husband was a cheap ornament even at £40,000, thoughts pleasuntly dallied with the future, as [ pictured a life of artistic ease and luxury, and I triumphed 1n anticipation over Uncle Jupp and his brutal personalities. In this matter, at any rate, I would prove to him I knew how to bring an affair to a successful conclusion. The evening arrived, as lovely a sum- mer’s evening as ever could he wished for by a spooning pair, and I dressed myself most fascinatingly for Violet Villa. 1 went up theve very leisurely, and on my way was joined by Mr. Plum, who congratulated” me much on the progress | had made, and on my clever- ness in outwitting the *'Old Duchess,” has called here “*Your dodge with the butcher’s boy prove in’t such a fool as Jupp inks you,” he said generously. *'T am much obliged to you,” sud T you know I didn’t myself think enough to get over Mother She hates the idea uly ot lardy-dardy sand o [:()ml looking slmper, anging after Ady jomed Mr. Plum, while [ inwardly Rt e prize secured, T would eliminate him and 1 my uncle’s crew from my list of ac- quaintances. At length we came in sight of Violet Villa, and Plum commenced some of his vulgar facetin, as comparing me to a man in doubt whether he was to be ‘‘turned off” or reprieved, ete., ete. At last he conde: > en to my re- quest (which was an additional proof, in his eyes, of my newly acquired‘'' smart- ness’’) that he would decoy the old lady into the conservatory, by preceding me, and thus facilitating iny momentous in- terview with Ada. A very good action,” he said, “and T really think this time your uncle can’t say but you’ve scored a success.” "Phus conversing we neared the house, when Mr. Pium went on in front, and entering the gate crossed the lawn, and, with the familiarity of an old friend, entered by the drawing-room window. I gave him time enough to decoy the old girl into the conservatory hen marched up the drive, feeling pretty sure_all was successful. I rang the bell. No response. I rang again, and the pretty maid opened it; unusu- ¢ smartly dressed and good-looking she seemed, and colored most vivid seeing me. I lookedat her adm wishing that Miss Clegson pretty, nnd she looked silently and with some agitation at me. And then suddenly she threw herself into my arms, exclaiming: Yes, dar- That is the answer!” What the deuce do you mean?” I id, struggling with my fair and some- what weighty burden. **Why, the girl’s gone mad!” “Oh, no, dearest, I'm not mad, and T love you with all my heart!” and she ressed a kiss on my lips that sounded ike a pistol shot. At this moment the drawingroom door opened and out came Mrs. Clogson, who smml potritied. **Weil, upon my word, sir!” she suid, with a spiteful triumph in her tone, “'but it only justities my opinion of you all aiong,” “‘What the duce d’ye mean, young Lesterly?” said Mr. Plum. “This is a new game, and not fair to me, you know.”” And Miss Clegson said with bitter scorn: ‘‘And this is your choice, sir?” ‘While Mr. Cutely said nothing, but showed his teeth like a dentist’s model.
