REUNITED.
Mr. Garraway stood up as young Mrs.
Bradshaw rose from her seat at the dinner
table. It had been rather a quiet dinner,
and he had had to do nearly all the tail;-
lng. Bradshaw opened the door, and Mr.
Garraway (of Gray’s—inn-placc) noticed
that cnch avoided looking at the other.
Ernest Bradshaw closed the door and came
back to the table. He c cd a walnut,
and on opening it throw it into the fire.
"Bad?" said .Mr. Garrawny. lie was
starting a cigar, and he had refilled his
glass. lie was perfectly at homo with the
Bradshaws.
“Yes," said young Mr. Bradshaw vlo~
lently. “Of course it’s bad. Worst of it
is that you power know until you try.”
“But all the nuts are not had, Brad-
shaw," liarraway mnntcd. “Anything
wrong at Whitehall?”
“No. “'hitchall's all right."
Mr. Garraway owed his sucrose as a
solicitor mainly to knowing cxactly when
not to do tho wrong thing. Young Brad-
shaw lighted a cigar and al'lcr afow puffs
lot it no out. Then he stood up with his
hack to lhc fire—it was his firth—and look-
ed at Gun-away.
“I want tonal; you something. Garra-
wny. llo you ever havo people coming to
you to dmw up duals of scparation?”
“0h, yrs. l’rctly often."
“Wull, Would you mind being of some

"Garrawily, look hcro. We have had a

call it.”
"What i should call it," saidllarmway,
rising! and smoking will: sunn- asccrbily,
"Would la- n - liltlo disagrcenwnt lmtwwn

“chcrtlwicss. my dear Garrawny," (tho
young husband's lips quivormly—“nowr-
tin-loss wc havo nun-ml to part. "
0n the piano in tho drawing room up
stairs a chord or two were struck, and tho
clear with of Mrs. Bradshaw rang out.
Gnrraway. putting on in thc thirties, and
solwr mail of law, found tho hand that
held his cigar shaking for a momcnt.
"You sw," said Bradshaw, “perfectly
jolly over it."
'l'hcrn- was a snddi-n stop and a crash
on the piano, as though the piaycr could
lit-0p it up no longer.
"In iok ln-rc, lirndshaw' '-—I\ir. Gan-away

"lie is, in this particular instance, upiltu

lookul an drtcrmlnod as sho could.
“Auden I am to draw up llludwd of
atquxmlion?"
“If you plvnm‘.”
“it's rather rough on nw," wonton Mr.
Garrawny, with an oilort at humor.
“Why, it scum» only ycslminy that I won

to Nouclmn-i, and we chwred you mi you

"Would you mind telling llli‘, please,

"And do you romolnlwr your first dinner
pitcr your rcturn. and how jolly on all

anything until a week or so ago-«weren't

"What I pmposc to do," said tho stern
young lady. with hint tho suspicion of a
catch in her voice, “is to go abroad with
my aunt for a ycaror two and leave the
house last as it stands for Ernesttollve
in. He can get a housokocpcr, you see,

“By Jove," cried Mr. (iarmvay, “that's

“Mr. flagrantly, I thought you would tobelnaetsr

you. .But my mind was made up before I
came here, and nothing that you can say
will alter it. A won‘an must judge for
herself in these matters."
"Quite so. I think that to a certain ex-
tent you are right. And if it is useless to
suganythiag after your present resolution,

“You may be sure of that,” said young
Mrs. Bradshaw confidently. “Ernest must
put up with the consequences. And you
, will see to the drawing up of tho deed?"
“It shallvbe put in hand at once."
“I should like to leave London this day
Week if possible."
“I dare say,” said Mr. Garraway, with
great amiabllity, “that'that can be man-
aged."
“There is only the question of a house-
keeper. Somebody must be there to look
after the servants. "
“It is there I think I can be of some are
eistanco to Ernest." Mr. Gan-away spoke
with genial assurance. “It so happens that
a client of mine is looking for precisely a
situation of this kind.”
“Iiow extremely fortunate!"
“She is a good manager, she’s a. widow.
and she has had charge of a house similar
to yours. "
“That‘s capital. As I say, I shouldn't
like the house to go to rack and ruin.
When could this old lady come, do you
think?”
“'l‘liiso—who?” ,
“This old lady. The widow. Who!)
could she come?"
“Oh, but"——)ir. Garraway smiled pleas-
antly—“you arc laboring undcr a slight
mistake, Mrs. Bradshaw. The lady is not
old.”
"0h! She is not young, I suppose?"
“Well, as a matter of fact, she is rather
young. By the bye, I ought to have her
portrait hero sonn-whcrc. "
It had cost Mr. (iarraway u shilling,
this cahinct portrait,in a shop in tho Strand
that rimming. Tho shopman couldn’t tell
him who it was, didn't know her from
Adam, he said, but sho was an exceeding-
ly prctly girl in dcmuro black, and the
wily Mr. (larrmvay was content.
“Sandy, surely, Mr. Garraway," gasped
young Mrs. Bradshaw as n‘llt.‘ ,iizcd at the
portrait, "this is not the kind of person

“ Uh, yrs!" said Mr. Garraway airily.
