him to you. Here be is, ornamenting
the doorway. Excuse mo for on* moment,
San, and I will fetch him."
The girl's eyes wander after her cousin
as he dashes across the polished lloor of the
ball-room to where n tall, handsome man
is standing.
That "tall, baudsomeman" is—Toddles.
He starts when Cuptain Hardreea touches
his arm, as though bis thoughts bad been
of an absorbing nature. However, he
aeerns quite willing to relinquish them for
the preseot to follow Captain Hardrcss
witheraoever he may lead him.
" You see, Kan, I havo robbed the door-way
of ils novel ornamentation I" exclaims
the latter airily as he reaches his cousin's
side. 'Toddles—Miss Hardress," intro-ducing
them. "Now, Toddles, I will
leave you in charge of my cousin while I
sacrifice myself on the altar ofa stern duty,
and uike some of these hungry dowagers to
taste of the sapper their souls love."
Toddles steals a glance at bis new charge,
and during that glance his heart passes out
of Ins keeping. Toddles falls in love at
first sight.
"Cool of my cousin, is it not?" inquires
San, smiling gently at the burly young
giant.
Toddles smiled, too.
"Just like Hardress." Then, after a
short pause, be adds : "He is always do-ing
me some good turn or other."
"Is that your notion of it? I call it
shifting his responsibilities on to another
person's shoulders," Nancy declare*, with
a frankness peculiar to herself.
" Ah ! I guess rny shoulders would be
broad euougb to carry such a feather's
weight of a responsibility the rent of the
journey."'
Miss Hardress looks dubiously at him, as
tbongh not qoite assured of his meaning.
Toddle* begins to fear lest he may have
"put his fOOt into it."
"There, dou't mind anything that 1 say,
nobody ever does. Just say to yourself
when you feel inclined to be shocked or
vend, ' It'e only Tuddlea,ml won't miud.'
Promise."
He has a habit of stringing together a
number of short sentences, and pausing
between each, as though to watch its effects
opon his listener.
Hiss Hardress is ranch amused by him.
" I promise, theD, Mr. Toddles."
Toddles goes off into a shoot of langhter;
the girl hair turns away from him, then,
hesitating, says aloud, "Itisonly 'Toddles,'
so I won't miud."
He stares at her.
" Taken me at my word ? Thai's right.
Tell you what I was laughing about, shall
I?"
" I should like to know," she admits.
" It sonnded so fnnny to have yon affix,
' Mr.' before Toddles, you know, and once
more bis face grows a mirthful scarlet.
" I do not understand. You could hardly
expect me to call you by your surnamo
only."
" That is just it. My surname ia Chesney
but everybody calls inc Toddles,"
" Why ?" inquires the girl, smoothing a
refractory curl.
The young giant looks puzzled.
" 'r\m my soul, I don't know, and,what
is more, I don't believe that anybody else |
is wiser."
" Hut there must be some reason," per-sists
San, " elae there would be no sense
In it."
" l'.xactly ; you sec it is not sense, but
nonsense."
Then they both langh.
An hour later Captain Hardress, having
immolated himself on the altar of duty,
goes in search of his cousin and Chesney.
" He finds them at length in a remote
corner of the conservatory, seated on a
crini-on velvet settee, with beads bent near
together, the girl's fair, to/led curls touch-ing
Chesney's close, military crop.
" Mine is even more absurd than some of
yours have beeu," San cries, with a burst
of laughter, and flourishing a narrow strip
of paper before her companion's eyes.
"Just listen :"
" My lift Is tort,
And lor, my lit, ;
lloib .hail be yourt,
It you'll be my wife."
" Sounds more like n nursery rhyme than
a motto," suggests Toddles.
" Rather too advanced for the nursery,
surely!" exclaims Captain Hardress, who
has been standing within earshot for the
past two minutes.
" Jack'." cries Nan, springing from her
seat to her cousin's side, " whutan age yon
have been ! 1 finished my supper long ago ;
we brought oat all the mottoes we could
find, and have been reading them here.
Such nonsense'. I wonder who could have
written thein?"
Toddles feels conscious ofa keeu si use of
disappointment at her words. For him the
hour hail flown.
" You little coquette!" laughs Hardress.
" I can see you have been far too happy to
miss me."
" Well, Mr.—or-Toddles—I mean Ches-ney—
has taken great care of me and has
kept me amused," admits Miss Martinis.
" He has ventured hyouil the rrgim.intal
stock phrases, then'"' laughs the Captain.
Nan shakes her small, fair brad.
"I do not know them?" she says inquir-ingly
" Shall I toll you tho story ?" smiling at
ths thought of it. "Well, my dear Nan,
yon must know,' to commence with, that
on the return of our regiment from foreign
service, when we had, for the best part of
ten yeurs, eudund social isolation, we dis-covered
that we 'hung firs' when conversing
with ladies. For the life of ns we couldn't
think of anything interesting to say to
them. Ir» one month we earned the repu-tation
of being the slowest regiment on
record. The ladies, In their turn, began to
'hang lire,' and we found ourselves forming
a shadowy background at all the balls and
entertainment*. At last a brilliant idea
struck us, why not draw up a regular code
of stock phrases and remarks with which
to keep tho ball of conversation rolling,
each member of Our's contributing his item.
So sooner thought than acted upon. In
leas than a month we had reinstated our
selves in the traces of the sex, nud have
since become the most popular regiment in
the .-. ivuc ell. Toil.Ill- .' '
Mr. Chesney throws back his head and
fairly roars with langhter at the recollection
of thin their last campaign.
" P.y Jove, MM- Hardress, you should
have heard some of our fellows' brilliant
remarks. One was, ' Will you have a cake
or a Tangerine orange ?' another, ' Can yon
tell me tho way to the skating rink ?' and
soon, nntil the first coating of ice was
broken, when it was permissible to say, in
tones of the deepest interest, ' Please tell
me more of yoursell'?'"
Nun's laugh awakens the echoes in the
large conservatory, startliug one or two
sentimental sleepy couples in their corners.
" How absurd ! 1 cannot imagine either
of you at a loss for conversation !"
" We may congratulate ourselves then,
Hardress,"
"Xow I must take you back to Mrs.
Wimpole, San ; she is dying to get away
from this festive scene," declares Jack.
"tiood-night," Nan says, turning to
Toddles with outstretched hand. " I am
going to remain in this neighborhood for n
week, so I dare say we shall meet again."
"To be sure yon will," puts in her
cousin warmly ; come up to my quarters
tomorrow, old fellow. I am going to have
whatCoruey drain calls a 'quiet tea-party.'"
"What lovely faces! Doei J«* know
them all?''
"I suppose so," indifferently, for he is
thinking how infinitely more lovely is her
living face, with ils delicate colorings of
cheek and lip, and the deep giniti.m blue
of her eyes, than are tiny of those ntahw 4
faces she admires.
"Mr. Chesney, who is this?" cries Nan,
pausing before a life-sized portrait of a
young and handsome woman leaning in a
nonchalant altitude against a carven door,
with an ostrich-feather fan clasped in one
drooping band.
Toddles grows hot aud cold.
How can he explain her identity to this
sweet cousin of Jack's.
"Ob, nobody ; a friend of Jack's," he
murmurs incoherently, and then ho sends
np a voiceless psalm of thanksgiving for tho
arrival ol Captain Hardress and Mrs. Wim-pole
and three other ladies at this critical
juncture.
Then tea is commenced and more people
drop in j betweeu them all San is made
much of, Toddles always bOTtttng in her
vicinity like a gigantic guardian angel.
Captain Hardress watches and smiles at
his "chnm's" infatuation for the girl.
"What impressionable natures these
Irishmen have!" is his reflection. He does
not dream that Toddles is in reality, and
to nse his own expression, " hard nil
this time.
A party of four, two ladies and two men,
are crossing the barrack-yard square,where
Sergeant Major Jeffs is superintending the
drilling of some raw recruits.
"Poor fellows! they look hot and fagged,"
exclaims the younger lady to her escort,
who is no other than—Toddles.
" Poor fellows, indeed ! We call them
' Jeffe's lambs,' " laughs Mr. Chesney.
" Why ?"
" Jefls is the Sergeant ; he is the great
fat fellow to the right; the men hate him,
for be is what is termed a martinet—deuced
particular about drill, order, etc. I could
tell you some ' killing' stories about him."
"Do," San says cordially^ throwing a
hack ward glance over her shoulder to see
if her consio, Captain Hardress, aud Mrs.
Wimpole are following them.
"Jeffs has a nasty knack when drilling
the meu of calling out, 'Stand at '
Then, as bis sharp eyes detect some of the
men forestalling his command and standing
at ease, he finishes np, 'What!' Awful
sell for the men. It is the greatest joke in
the world to see Jeffs shaking bis head
from side to sido as he reviews his recruits.
' Oh ! you pretty lambs,' he soys, ' you are
like cucumlwrs, you want forcing, and I'll
force yon.'"
" Nasty old fellow ! I suppose you all <
encourage him !" San exclaims indignant- ;
'y-
" He does not require any, I assure you. j
He 'hacts on principle.' On one occasion
a private was hauled up in the orderly room
by Jeffs (nearly every day he has some com-plaint
to make.) 'Well Jeffs, what is It
to-day?' Etka the chief."
" 'l'.f yer please, Sir, private 10,081 does
exactly wot he likes. He goes out when
he likes,comes in when he likes, get* drnnk
when he likes; in fact, sir, he behaves
himselfjust as though he weresnliofflcer.'"
" I should not tell that story too often,"
declares San, when she had recovered her
gravity sufficiently forspeech. " Yon know
it does not give you a very good charac-ter."
"Here we are, Toddles,'' calls out Hard-ress.
"What have yon two found to
laugh at so heartily ?"
" Mr. Chesney has been telling me the
most delightful stories. There are a great
many stairs for you to mount, Mrs. Wim-pole
!"
" I shall manage, my dear," that lady
assures the girl somewhat rashly. Y'ou nil
go on and leave me to take my time."
" Kemember it is the first door to the
left," calls Captain Hardress over the bal-ustrade.
Considerable taste has been displayed in
the arrangement of Captain nardress' sit-ting
room. There Is a plenitude of easy
chairs and lounges covered with pretty blue
cretonne ; silk scarfs of a sage green, serv-ing
in lien of antimaccassars ; curtains of
the same shade, looped with blue. A piano
in one comer, draped in bine and sage
green ; exquisite hot house flowers bloom-ing
their short sweet lives awav in the
vases, which are placed on little three-cor-nered
Chippendale tables. Photographs
framed in ivory, plush and gold are Btrewn
about. A few water colored sketches and
regimental caricatures furnish the walls
'•Whit a sweet room !" exclaims Nan.
"I hid an idea that 'quarters' were the
barest, most comfortless places, while here
yon have every luxury." •
Toddles smiles.
"Every luxury," be repeats after her.
" llaidi.-s is the luckiest man in the serv-ic
«; didn't you know that?"
" I am glad you are pleased, Nan," Jack
chimes in the gently indulgent air be al-ways
assumes toward bis cousin. " I think
I had better go out and look alter Mrs.
" Mr. Chesney, have yon ever been in
love?" This question haunts Toddles, ut-tered
In Nan's soft sweet voice, with her
big eyes fastened eagerly on his tell-tale
face. Waking or sleeping the scene recurs
to him, causing hiB heart to beat wildly
and his brain to reel with a sense of suffo-cation.
How he curses his folly for not
having told her then aud there that he
loved her to distraction | that she was the
dearest, sweetest girl in Christcmdon ; that
unless she took pity npon him and loved
him a little in return he was undone ; his
life a blank—his future desert waste. Ah!
why did he not pluck heart of grace to tell
her all thiB, and more ? Now the opportu-nity
has passed from bim, and Nan is
gone.
Toddles groans and buries his face on his
arms.
"Good-bye, Mr. Chesney—Toddles, I
mean." Nan's voice again. Her smiling
happy face thrust ont of the carriage win-dow.
Would she have looked so cheerful
at the prospect of leaving him if he had
been dear to her? Ah, no—his love is
unrequited, and himself the most miserable
man on the face of Cod's beautiful earth.
How lovely she always looked! How
sweetly she spoke! What a charming dis-position
was hers ; so affectionate, yielding
and pliable. Recollections of her haunt
Toddles, nntil in sheer desperation he calls
for the most unmanageable beast in his sta-bles
and rides him into subjection.
"Toddles will break his neck some day,"
prophesies a brother officer who had watch-ed
him start from tho nieasroom window.
" I hope not. What would the regiment
be like without 'our Toddles'?" laughs
Captain Hardress.
During the next few months it becomes
obvious to everybody that Gilbert Chesney,
generally known ns " Toddles," is strange-ly
altered; the old merry, irrepressible
Toddles has vanished, leaving instead a
restless, perturbed, irritable Toddles.
Captain Hardress alone possesses the cine
to this extraordinary metamorphosis of the
sunniest and most genial spirit in the world.
" Poor old chan, ho has got the fever
, badly this time. I believe he is eatiug his
i heart ont for the sake of a girl who seldom
| thinks of him, ( judging from the letters I
I got from her.) I most give him a chance
of make sonic running with the little co-quette,
or he will become positively ill-tempered."
Jack Hardress having once arrived at
this decision, does not lose much time in
carrying his plan into effect
" Hay, Toddles, what engagements have
you on next week?" he Inquires, in the
cheerlnl tones Chesney has began to loathe.
" None—at least I am riding three of
Dusty's horses in the steeplechases at
Druyton."
" Ah ! Perhaps yon don't feal inclined
to pnt up at Drayton Hall ( I-ady Law-rence's
place, yon know.) I am going
down there and have card blanrhe to bring
a friend. Nan is staying there ;" adding
this quite as an alter thought.
Toddles turned away to hido the great
wave of pleasure that has swept over him
at the near prospect of meeting the girl he
worships so madly again.
" I—I—think—I should like to go with
you after nil," he says.
" All right, old chap," returns Jack,
smiling at the success of his ruse.
That evening Toddles is himself again,
and the life and soul of the mess.
amusement, and just I particle of vexation.
He does not wish Gilbert Cuesuey to be
made a fool of by his cousin; he is too good
for that.
Iiinner is a long affair, and half tho
length of tha table separates Mr. Chesney
from Nan. HlapaitDer, limlinghim "heavy
on hand," abandons the task of entertain-ing
him, and contents herself with stolen
glances every now and then at bis straight
and pensive profile.
Toddles eats little, drinks little, aud is
apparently lost in thought.
" Cot something on bis mind,1' reflects
his disappointed partner. " I shall ask
Dusty about him."
"Dusty" is Captain Kohart.-, and her
cousin.
His account of Gilbert Chesney, delivered
later on, at her especial request, is an un-satisfactory
oue.
"Toddles? aw—ye,. Know him, of
course. Awfully good sort, but deuced
uncertain. Going to ride three bf my
horses on Thursday. Splendid Jocky—
handicapped by weight."
Men view their sex from such u curious
lew-! standpoint, anil women find this dis-appointment
sometimes.
"What was tho matter with you during
diuacr?" Nan asked Mr. Chesney, when
they are Mated side by side in the drawing
room later on.
" Nothing."
" You looked so—cross."
"Did I? What a brute I am," with
sudden compunction. " I was vexed be-cause
some other fellow had the pleasure
of taking you in to dinner."
" Was that till? Didn't you like Miss
Kobarts, then?" with an air ol bewilderiug
iuuoccnce.
Toddles laughs.
" I am afraid that I didn't pay any atten-tion
to her," he admits frankly.
" Oh ! lint yon should have done. She
is a prime favorite with everybody hero."
" Keally?"
" Yes," nodding her fair head emphati-cally.
" l'orha|s you bad better go and
talk to her now, to make np for lost time.
Will you?"
"No, I won't," replies Toddles, with o
flash of ohstiuate humor, " Unless you
waut to get rid of me. Do you ?"
A devilish spirit of mischief enters tho
girl; she turus her head away from bim,
saying in a low voice : " Even if I did, I
should hardly like to tell yon so."
Then,receiving no answer to tbisspeeerh,
she looks round to find the seat beside bar
vacated—aud Toddles gone.
He does not approach her again during
the evening, bnt itands aloof, looking the
picture of dignified misery.
Nancy's heart makes merry over this new
conquest of hers. Like many very young
women she is cruel in the affairs of love.
The sufferings of an animal in pain would,
at any time, wring tears from her lovely
eyes, while a lover's despair affords her
only a crnel pleasure. It is the last rem-nant
of the savage lingering in woman's
breast, aud not all the refinements of civil-ization
have proven efficient as yet to
abolish it.
Captain Hardress, who is indulging in a
desultory flirtation with the youngest and
loveliest married woman in the room, a
Mrs. Helfrie by name, has yet found leisure
to observe the progress of his friend'scourt-ship,
his sharp eyes detecting the " little
rift within the lute " almost as quickly as
they arc aware of it themselves.
" I say, Mrs. Helfrie, can you tell me
why it is that your sex so dearly loves to
play with edged tools?" he inquires apropos
of nothing apparently.
She luughs.
" Is it because our vanity blinds u, to
the edge ?"

Toddles—big, happy and handsome, with
a amile on bis face and a flower in hi ibut-tonhole—
He is the first object on which Nan's
eyes rest as she enters the drawing room,
where every body is assembled and wailing
dinner.
" Yon here!" the exclaims, stretching a
welcoming band toward him.
"Delightful—itn't it? For me,I mean,"
says Toddles, in his ntual jerking fashion
" Jack did not tell me that he was bringing
yon. He said a friend," pulling thought-folly
at a curl in her hair.
"I hope be considers me that," M'.
Chesney observes, with an sir of modesty.
" Ob, yes, of course ! It was fnnny ol
him never mentioning your name, though,
for yon are n friend of mine too."
There is a melting tenderness in Toddle's
Irish bine eyes as they meet hers.
" I hopo I "hall always be that—and
more."
A small smile is Inrking aronnd the
Pot three days Toddles alternates between
hope aud despair. Surely, if the girl loved
bim she would lie kinder ; and then, jutt
as he bus made up bis mind that his suit is
a hopeless one, some little action or gesture
of Nan's restores peace and confidence
within his brm-t
This morning a riding party had been
arranged ; and Miss Hardress, Toddles.and
a few others arc lingering in the great hall,
awaiting tho arrival of their "gees."
" You will permit mo to be your escort
this niorning,won't you?" Toddles whispers
hut-ri< illy, fearing lest some cruel chance
should wrest the girl from him at the last
moment.
She looks up with a mischievous smile.
"What! when there are two men to
every lady ?"
Toddles' face falls.
" Tomorrow is my last day here. Please
be kind to me," he urges, and in the after
days Nancy often recalls him, as he np-
11 i.l that morning, with a terrible earn-estness
in his bright, handsome face,
pleading for her favor.
" 1 will be kind to you—tomorrow," she
says.
Toddles' smile is tinged with an almost
prophetic sadrrttB.
" Why are yon not kind to-day ? There
is no time like the present, Nan," he de-clares.
" .My motto is, 'There will be another
day tomorrow,'" laughs Miss Hardress,
" Not for all of ns," is his rejoinder.
"Captain Hobarts!'' calls the girl, "come
here, I want to look nt somebody lively.
Mr. Chesney is in a gloomy frame of mind."
Captain Hobarts is not slow to respond lo
the invitation; and when the riding party
-.tail", he retains the advantage thus gain-ed,
and his place is beside her.
Nancy's heart misgives her; whit demon
poscased her to spoil the morning for them
both? l'oor handsome Toddles, he is a lov-
