Cooke seemed to have been forgolton in
his ali" 11.... and Unties chuckled. The
gallant ex-officer showed him-c'.f to he
under a spell, and expressed ha admira-tion
HI the moit positive terms.
"I aesouh you my dcah madam," said he
to tbe widow, "that Miss Ahchuh is ■
young lady, that, besides her yonlh and
beauty, baa mo' of the cotely maunah of
ana" at the age of'.M, should yourcoueent ] Ihe fuhat families of Virginian «u»n "Dy
lo our DWrfoge be iel'iis.-d, we will many , genticwoiuau except yon'self, that I have
dljeckioate.
Oiil Mr. Archer was a fcefotfd chew
player and un axpert, at that. He held
chea* 10 be tbe oulv game tit for a ^en Ic-
■ML There were few of hie MqulattACCf
who c ni I I cope with him, aud hut cue of
them who could mulch him faiilj. That
wni Jaaiea llitilt», hie lawyer. It was a
clone cm test between tbe two—tin*, one
ahead and then the other.
Kittles stood high at the bar, but he
mainly woo and retained Archer's confi-dence
!iv bis abilily as a chess plajrt-r. He
was i-arely 4(1, and Atcher maintained that
hj the time he reach-d 00 he would surpass
all those aronnd.
Archer had a daughter—bis only child.
Htr father had married late in life, and
ten years after the birth cf the girl her
mother had died. Letty hcl.l a place in
his heart nexi to chess itaelf. A bright,
lirely and pretlj girl was Latly Archer,
and she would be ao MttfVM to Hormfiing
over a million. Her father eare.l she
would become the prey of a foitunc hunter,
and endeaTorod to a»eit it by the provisions
of his will. He neglected to ei<cute his
teatnnieut, however, until Letty was nearly
twenty years old, and a spinster still. It
was none too a Kin, for the week after he
died suddenly of an apoplectic i. .
When the will wan openi d it «u« (•uuil
that-Bittlea "?•* named so'e executor Hi.d
cnnatituU'd giun'iun of L -tty un'il she was
21, aud trustee of all the ei-t.it**, real and
personal. The conditions of the trust were
fiat, if Letty married with the coot en t of
Kilties, the trustee was to turn over to ii r
a!) the property on thedajofthe Wtddiof,
and ao long as the remained unniimnl
after 21 to pay her tbe rente ar.d the in-terest
as they accrued; bot if she married
without his consent, she was to receive
only five thousand a ye.r, and tbe residue
of tbe estate beyond that ntc-asary to
secure this imym.nt was lo bs conveyed to
a third party or her heirs. This third
party was described as :
" Catherine Sinclair, daughter ol Gordon
Sinclair, now or late of the city ol'K.ilti-more,
and the state of Maryland, if she be
still single; or, if she he a married woman,
then lo the said Catherine Sinclair, by
whatever name she may be now known, to
h*r and her heirs forever."
A farther provision was that in case the
■aid Catherine Sinclair, I y whatever name
she might be known, was d<ad, and had
left an heir or heirs, the property over and
abort* the reserved amount In the contin-gency
mentioned was given, devised and
bequeuihcd to bim, her or them. Who
C.IIIKM ..<■ BiM lair or ber father was, Letty
could not te!l, nor could the lawyer, hut it
was suggested that it was an early tlame of
A'cher's. Home thought that the possible
legatee was mythical, and brought forward
to scare !,»-iiy Iron, makiog an imprudent
match. lint the power of Kittle* in the
matter was as aWolute as pen and iuk
c .aid make it.
B tiles proved himself to be a vigilaut
guardian and u careful trustee-guarding
bis ward ugaiust adventures, aud maosgiug
the estate with prudence and vigor. Every-thing
went well until abont ten months
after Archer's death. Then the current of
affairs rippled a little. Lett? and Kittles
both tell in love— L-t'y with Carter Cu< ke,
a young man who belonged to what, before
the late war, was koown aa "one of the
first f»niii*s of Virginia," and Kittbs in
amltoof fall forty oce years, with l.ftty,
who did bot MHO * auap for him, looking
uastn the middle agtd bachelor ae a ven-erable
person, and hestovting ber heart
upon his younger rival. Ix>ve is like the
measle*, and if wo be attacked with it in
middle age, the dirorder assumes an aggra-vated
form. K tiles had a very seveie
attack indeed.
Letty might well be excused fur recipro-cating
the feelings of Carter Cooke. Tbe
young man was not only by blood, but
by culture and nH.ociali.>nn, a gentleman,
with no censurable habits, and with
polished manners. He had a well propor-tioned
11 go re, as well as a pleasing face;
and be did not even drop his i'a,asso many
of the tidewater Virginians do. He was
well liked in New York, where be spent
about half of the year; aud though not by
any means a fifth at rich as l.etty would
be, was possessed ofahaudsomeuompelei.tr
Kittles pronounced bim to be a fortuue
hunter, and frowned upon bis suit, really
because it interfered with the one be wished
to make. Letty was uot of an age to
rellect on the setious consequences of her
guardian's disappioval, and, had she been,
her cheerful temper would have led In r to
optimism. Then Carter Cooke wa< a "kill-ful
chess player, and la-tty, who bad been
taught by her father, mm alsiut as expert
as hr.wbich strengthened the bond between
them.
The wooiuu weut on in spite of the
frowns of Bittlis, and the latier lieuau to
ahow the bitterness of defeat. This was
oeen when the young lover, with Letty'a
consent, made a formal proposal to tbe
gusrdiau for tbe band of Qta ward.
" No air; decididly, no !" replied Hi i!.--.
'■ 1 ba-e n .th-.ug agujisl you paraooally,
Mr. Cooko Your respectability is un-doubted;
but J do uot OOBlMff you, nor
without it. That will be the next move
oa the board, Mr. Kittles."
" i"oo are playing a ca.tly game, sir.''
"Nut at all, Mr. At nil eve its, I thatl
-■ ill mi l!ie b «hop to capture your queen,"
repllod Cooke, good hmuoredly, aud bowed
himself out ol'the office with mock coarte'y.
Wbto Letty baud of this positive re-fu*
al, io spite ot her avowed contempt for
money, ibe wasdlfp s d to be downcast.
Kiit < irter whispered to ber a secret, a
WM-ovrrbi illy dangerous thing to do to a
woman, ftttd Letty, after a look of astonish-ment,
burst ioto a ripple of silvery laughter.
''Oh, you dear, delightful Carter!" she
exe'atuvd. "Who would have thought it !"
Aud l.etiy renewed her laughter, for
tbe secret seemed to her the most comical
thing in the world.
lbttles did tot desire at all to exact
the penally ; but he did \ery much de-sire
to break tbe disagreeable connection.
But how ? Litty went into seciety under
tbe chaperona*e of Mrs. Knrrotighe, Kitties'
own sister, a well to do widow, who was
four years his senior, and liked tbe mild
kiud of dissipation wbicb she enfjyed hy
virtue of her office. At all routs, kettle
drums, parties and the opera, or wherevir
Lett* went, Carier Cooke was anre to be,
and Letty suffered him to assume the
right of prospective owne.sbip in a way
that drove all other suitors from the field.
Letty made no secret of her feelinga,and wore
her engagement run* openly. Mrs. Km-ronghs,
who liked Cioke, tacitly aided and
abetted. It ssin became known that
Kittles frowned on Cooke, and folks were
cirioua to learn bow the affair would end,
an thoogfa, in such a case, with two willful
young persons, it could end in any way
but one. Kilties was < uly informed of
hi* open courtship, and the lectures he
bestowed on Letty io cons quence only
licreasol bis ward's dislike to himself,
unil it djepened to positive aversion.
Bit)lea trusted to lime and tbe chances.
He did dot believe that Letty, when ihe
pinch rune, would sacrifice eo large a
portion of her property for a mere girlish
love, which might be destroyed at any
time by a lover's quarrel ; nor that Couke,
whom he had hesoiiKht bimadf to believe
had mercenary motives, would care to lake
her with so much less money. Nine
thousand a year to one "j< Lelty'e expen-sive
habils m ant almost -.xclusivc rural
.-isdtnce; and be knew that I^tty did
not hke living in the country, except dur-ing
the time ol tliweis and fnnshine, and
thou varied by New|>ort and Saratoga.
Kittle* waited, not without hope.
Ife bad calculate 1 on an al'y in bis
ai-t» r, aud, lo insure ber co-operatiou, told
her of bis hopes and feaxa. She laughed at
him.
"James," nhe said, "tbi* is the mo.-t
ah>ur>» thing i>os<>ibIe. She is about half
your age. You have staid, old bachelor |
habit?, aud Letty, though she'e a good
girl, is fond of life, society aud racket.
She'd drive you mad in six month?, and
put yon in the grave i i les* than a year.
It y< u must make ao exhibition of you i>elf
matrimonially, choose t-ome rich widow of
30 to 111, who would >uit you oetttr."
"Hang rich widows I"
"<>uite polite and complimentary, con-sidering
that I am widow with a comfort-able
income. You bad bjtter give it np.
I bare sounded Lei ty to tbe depths, aud
know Ibat she loves young Cooke : and be
is—bairing fortune a capital mate for her,
I would have preferred her lo have made
a richer match, but they will have enough
between them"
"No, they'll not; for I will never give
my consent. I'll take 1 er from you—lock
her up, if it need be" —
"You are a lawyer, and know better
James. You may refuse your consent,
though every one will leoctrute your
taotlycfl and laugh at you ; but as to the
locking up—they do such t hi tigs in .plays
and novels, not in real life."
".She i* under my control until she ia
•Jl."
' Oi, yea doubtless; that is, nominally
-lor three months more. Then she'll
marry in spite < f you. If you strip her
of all hut live thousand a year, you'll incur
genera] reproach and gain uo satisfaction
in the loug run. The beak yon can do is to
keep oil the weddiog for a short time.
(Jive in. If you were ten yeate younger 1
mtKht strain a point to help you -not aa ft
hud the good lawchune lo meet yet iu ao-ciety."
Letty and ihe ■■Jot got along fauorsly
aud his adulation apparently qu.te sup
plied the abeeuce of Cooke. This was sup
pteiuenU-d by the alteutionsof her guardiao,
who became kind and bland again.
Letiy's twenty-first birthd iy came around
and .Mrs. Kurrougua' MaUly mansion was
throwu open in honor of the eveut. Ii was
an informal reception, to last during the
day. The major was specially invited; so
was Carter Cooke, who had just returned
irom hie place at Ihgbover, where he had
been superintending re|»irs aud alieration-
Iu the old family naansiou. Kittles was
there of course gorgeou-ly arrayed in honor
ol the occasion.
About noon lastly was missing aud the
abeeuce of the major wasuoted. Cooke had
not yet come. lastly was not to be found
in the house but one of ihe servants had
noticed that she and the luajor bad gone
out together, entered a coach in waitiug at
the corner, and been driven away. It wm
moot extraordinary, and Kittles grew ex-cited
over the fact. The guests preeeat
heard of it and admitted that it was a sin-gular
thing at such a time. It was prob-ably
a girlish freak, to result iu some sur-prise;
and ao it proved.
At one o'clock a number of coaches drew
up before tbe door, r'rom tbe lorcmost ol
these devcended the major, who handed
out Ia?lty who was followed by Cooke.
From tbe other coacheo there alighud a
number of "the set." It waa quite a little
procession thaL filed in, He major at the
head, as proud and self appreciating us a
drum major at the head of a street parade,
"Well, here you are," said Kmlc*.
"I really began to fear, major, that you
and my ward had eloped."
"Nothing of the kiud, suh, Ias>uahyub,"
replied the other. "I was me'ly the best
man on this j «> M occadon. 1 have ihe
honor lo introduce you to Mr. aud M s.
Cantab Cooke!"
"Married!" cried Billies, ughust.
"Yes, sir," responded Cooke. ".My bish-op
in tbe shape of a aurpliced elcigyuiuu
has enabled me to capture your queen."
And he drew Letty'sariu within bis owu.
"Very well, Bir. Miss Archer is of age
and has a right. But, as Bhe has married
without my consent, she has thrown awuy
a large fortuue for a beggarly five ihousund
a year. I ahall search for tbe heirs of Cath-arine
Sinclair to morrow. You have taken
the queen; I cry check to the king, sir!"
"Kxcuse me, sir," retorted Cooke, "but
you utterly mistake the situation on the
board. Mrs. Cooke will have a larger al.
lowauce of pin money. I shall make it ten
thousand, with an unlimited ciuimaud of
a check book, which your action has mude
equal to a heavy drain."
".My action! pooh! stuff! '
"Oh, no, sii! You need not hunt far to-morrow.
My cousiu here' Msj. Boiling,
who is the genealogist to both families, can
show you by ihe records that Catheiine Sin-clair,
daughter of Cordon Sinclair, married
with the fourth Carter Cooke, of Highover,
and unfortunately died three years since,
four year* after ber husband. Sbe left one
heir, a sou, the filth Carter Cooke, whom I
have the h »nor to present to you as (he
husband of your wurdundlhe happiest man
on t a: th. Mr. Kittles, checkmate!"
SZEN WITH GEOLOGICAL EYES.
As Ihe Iri-h peasant girla far, "nhe was

back ou bi« D>3va of lh* forfeilnn1, which
he thought WMlM datH both purlin for

"Fir* ll*ht Are," thought ll.ttlea.
Mj. Phil Boiliu was considerably o'der
tli.in t'irter Cooke, a* he ahould have been,
since he had funght in tbe aectional war,
ridden with Jrh Stnart, and tasted the
horrora of prison life at K.lmira. Originally

Kecently a distinguished parly of New
York scientists, comprizing members of the
Mineiul-igie il Club and of tbe Mineralog-ical
aecliona of the Brooklyn Institute, vis-ited
this section aud inspected the snip
stone quarry at Lafayette. The purpose ol
the visit, it WHS s.ml. was to furnieb acorn
pension between the minerals of Philadel-phia
and New York. Membiraol'the Min-er.
dogical Club are now at work studying
the mineraloity of the latier city. Moat of
the visitors, under the leadership of Mr.
K.uul, weut up to Lafayette, on the
Schoylkill Valley Railroad, where no inter-esting
s npetone q tarry ia located. It was
explained thai tbe railroad, following tbe
Schoylkill river, cula at a high angle all
the recks of tbe Schuylkill Valley. At
I'oweltou AvebUt Station the frowning
rocks were characteiizeil aa 'the mica
acbials of ibe Philadelphia se
genly." From this point to
street, it was said, ihe road-railroad
is largely bard ftld spathic gneiss,
wbicb bad to be quarried to grade. South-east
of liilu thtre begin the rocks c lied
drophyritic gneiss, which crtuse-s the river
at the Kails of Schoylkill. At Luirel Hill
Station tbe Manayuuk scbials, which are
said lo be exactly like the rocks undeiljing
New York City, were entered. At Shaw-uiout
tbe Chestnut Hill series ol schists
begin, aud the visitors devoted about two
hours to the narrow bed of steatite, or
s lapstone, and serpentine which occurs in
these rocks. The large qnarry below [aV
faye'te baa been worked for over a century,
and has yielded many minerals, although
none abundantly, among others, sUurolite,
•clinolite, cbalcopyrite, tremolite.Millerite,
llallile, Kpsnmi'e and chalcantbite.
