Rupert and Roland were, tip tothe d.t v w hen they lieeatne bitterenemies, the very greatest friends. There were nmnv reasons tor this friendship in addition to the usual one of similarity of tastes and pursuit. They had known eaeh other from their infancy, they went to the same si hool, and when the idlmess of sehool was exchanged for the toil and labor of preparing for an examination, t hey chose thesamei ouch and took the same subjects. They Loth failed in their attempt at in the same year, and both succeeded in the Sandhurst examination in t he next. And though they chose different regiments, they had both t he same eluh; both hud a good ileal of 'leave, and so they still saw each other a great deal, and it was generally in each other's society that they phi ved billiards, looked at burlesques or ballets, and joined in the other of sports ami pastimes of townidea country.

And if there could lie any excuse for n breach of friendship, Miss Alice Hetheringtori might be taken as an ample apology.

Alice had every thing or nearly everything that a young lady ought to have who wants to make a brilliant marriage: In the first place she was very rich. Like the lady in the song, she had gold and she had land, uml there were great heaps of gold, and in the corner of the land was a big black coal mine, whore hundreds of men worked and made Alice richer and richer every day. And then the young lady was so pretty. Her features were as regular as her habits, and her admirers could dissect their admiration and find mouth and nose and chin all perfect and faultless. Anil then her intelligence! She took in all the reviews and read most of them when she lmd time.

For each thought, lie was concealing the state of his feelings from everybody, and each meditated cor filling the sacred secret to his cliosi n friend. Then, when the truth was evident, each felt theother had betrayed the confidence which he had meant to confide in him. So there was a soreness between the two, which an attempt to lie very clever brought into a positive quarrel. It came about in this wise. The two friends, haviug danced 1 e both literally and figuratively, on Miss Hctherington during the season, continued their dunce on the green turf of Goodwood anil then followed her to ('owes. From thence the young lady was going to Hamburg, while our two friends wre expected in Scotland on the 12th. You havent altered your plans, I.ilJi'Tt, suppose." said the other Rians?

Of course I am not going to de-- i line now, though I am getting a little tired of the everlasting grouse. You are going North with me. Roland suppose? Rupert said this a little doubtfully, too. No, I think not, was tho reply, if you will excuse me. 1 want to go up a day or so before, to arrange one or two things with Lord bigwig's agent. I'll join you nt Perth. Sir Rupert w as delighted to hear this, though he managed to dissemble his joy. Roland was going to leave him nt least one clear day with the heiress. Perhaps more than one, tor it was not n bsolutely necessary lie should be on the moors on the morn-ingthe 12th. Itwasratherbadnot to o there, certainly, but lie would be guided by events. He said nothing further, but when the time came he saw Sir Roland off safe on hoard the Southampton steamer, and even then gave no sign of his delight. Then lie bought a huge basket of roses, and waited till the .Mermaid was on station, when he took a shore boat and went out to her. (The Mermaid is Lord Tufties splendid yacht, Lord Tuftie and Lady Heavytojiarecousins, nndso it came about that he had the privilege of having Alice as his guest.) Lord Tuftie nodded a greeting as the young man arrived alongside with his large basket of flowers. Meant for the ladies, old fellow, I suppose, he said. I!ut Ive just landed them at Southampton, to catch the train for London en route for Iloinburg, you know. Your tidus Achates went up by the sametrnin. Sir Rupert clambered on board, feeling very disgusted. It was quite evident now why Sir Roland had gone away, nml the thought that he tit that same identical moment was almost certainly sitting opposite to her in the railway carriage, talking while slip smiled responsively, and Lady l avytop nodded and dozed in the other corner; this imaginative picture exasperated him horribly, lie found some consolation in characterizing Ins friends conduct as infamous, and the exshabby pressions mean excuse, track, repeated over and over to 1 1 ot himself, relieved him wonderfully. He had accepted Lord Tuft ies invitation to dine abroad, but I am afraid his lordship did not find him an agreeable companion. Throughout tiie dinner he was tracking the train on its way to London, more than ever exasperated, ns he remembered that the Southwestern expresses are very slow. And the lmgh basket of roses, which had taxed all the floral resources oftowes, seemed dreadfully silly on tin table round which there were only mustachioed f joes. But it was some comfort to think that he would see Sir Roland lie thought of him now with the title prefixed to his name in a day or two, and he able to tell him what he thought of his paltry subterfuge. Thisidea consoled him out of the island and up to Euston and into the Scotch express, which w"s carrying men and guns on to ('aledoniashealherynioors. But nt Rugby an idea struck him, an idea which made the set features of his face relax into something like a smile. He would not go to Scotland, but immediately follow Miss For his friends treaaehery, he fi k, had released him from whatever obligation might nttnih toliis promise which was not really a promise afti r all. I know Roland is cleverer than I ant. much cleverer, no doubt, he said to himself, but this time I'll trump his best card. 1 am sure she likes me better than him; but he always comes in to spoil my chance, though he hasnt any of his own. This time lie won't be in the way. This idea had fully matured in his mind, and was ripe for execution before the train stopped at Crewe. So he he jumped out then, leaving guns and everything hut his dressing case to go on to Scotland, and took the train southward. He got back to London in time enough to get t lie Flushing boat that evening, and the next night lie slept in the Hotel d Aiigleterro nt llomhurg.

Now if we go out and dont do any cutting to speak of. we shall be laughed at in every club in London ami Miss lletherington will think us riduculous. Now this dan ob iates all that.

Sir Roland stared in astonishment. You dont mean that you agree seriously? I do, on condition of entjre secremeans Lady ileavytop. Her ladyship smiled assent, and Rupert was happy most of all in the thought that Roland had heard the invitation given and accepted. But when some hours later lie presented himself at the box office of the theater a great disappointment was in store for him. livery box in the theater had been taken for the particular night on which Gasperone was to be played. lie could hardly understand the feeble English of the man nt the box office, but as far as he could gather, the boxes had been taken on behalf of the Prince of Wales, who was coming to Iloinburg. But he learnt that the places had been taken only an hour ls'iore. lie spent the afternoon in concocting a suitable letter of regret and explanation, the composition of which was rendered more difficult by the fact that he lmd forgotten to bring his with him lrom England. The next day he received a note in almost unintelligible Ento say glish from the that the gentleman who had taken the boxes only required two, anil that the rest were to be offered to the public. That was on the morning of the performance, and he hastened to secure the last remaining box and to write to Lady lleavytop. A brief note came in reply thanking him for the offer, but declining it. Another box hail been offered previously and accepted. Full of bewilderment and disquietude, tir Rupert went early to the theater and sat in solitary state in his box. Right opposite to him two boxes had been knocked into one, and flowers and more elaborate curtains indicated the expected coming of some highly honored visitor. Sir Rupert was puzzled the Prince of Wales had not arrived at Iloinburg. Whom could the preparations he for? He had just about ten minutes to solve the problem in, and he didnt doit. Thesolu-tiowas forced on him, and the poor follow became almost livid with jealousy, and mad with rage. For there he saw Sir Roland lead in Lady lleavytop and her. And he took his seat between the two ladies, who smiled and beamed on him. They were evidently delighted with the arrangements that had been made in their honor. As if anybody else couldnt have done as much, or more, if lie had only thought of it. Sir Ruperts position in the box opposite was almost intolerable, but lie bore it ns bravely as he could. Sir Roland saw him, nodded, and smiled an insulting smile. The ladies saw him anil bowed, but did not look across again, though his eyes were rivited to their box. Not the slightest movement escaped him. He saw that Alice was not paying much attention to the jut'ee, but was listening to the conversation of her cavapocket-dictiona- ry box-keepe- r, n lier. She wants to lmar tr.e music, he said to himself, but that fellow wont let her. Sir Roland was as lively ns possible, laughed a good deal and very loud. Rupert had always thought his laugh unpleasantly loud, now he thought it disgusting, and fell back for consolation on a proverb. An interview withthebox-keepe- r bet ween the acts showed Sir Rupert the full extent of the treachery of his former friend, and he left the theater with a wild resolve that he would not sleep till he had trot some port of reparation; for he had learned that it was Roland who lmd bought tip all the boxes in the theater to prevent him from fulfilling his promise. He waited some time at Rolands rooms, maddened by the thought that the gallant baronet must le having supper with the Indies nt their hotel. I will ait till midnight if neces sary, he said, but I will see him. lie hadnt so long to wait.

Now, let me get to bed the irregular verbs I was going to learn wont do me much good if I am destined to take poison After a few mqv words Sir Rupert went away, already, alarmed at his own daring in accepting such a plan of settlement, but determined to carry it through. When lie was gone, his rival sat for a w hile thinking. Then he burst out laughing. Kupie is a greater fool than lever thought him," he said. Then he worked at irregular verbs fornn hour, and then went to bed. When Sir Rupert ariveil the next evening, he looked very grave. I have eotne, he said, to carry out the arrangement.
