THELATEMRLYMPET
_ There was only one thing on which we
‘« Lympets did pride ourselves-—it was on
, . thoyfsmily name. From our earliest child-
‘~ hm wewere taught to believe that a
Lilliput was apart from and superior toall
other men. As my dear father usedto
lay. there were working people, gentry,
nobility and Lympets. The family held
the first place in our estimations. We
were Lympets first and Britons afterward.
, Not one of us but gloried in his birth and
‘ did his best to live uptoour proud old
‘ . funily motto, “Quod tango fence."
I need hardly say that not one of them
.. . cvsrso for forgot himself as to stmpto
trade. Their sense of what was due to
their name was too powerful toallow them
to sink so far. 80 strong indeed was this
feeling that the daughters of our house
often preferred to pass their livesin single
blesse’dness rather than change the dear
old name of which they were so justly
proud. Few families can boastso many
old maids. The ribald have ventured to
attribute this fact to the Lympet dowrles,
which are unfortunately small, and to the
. Lympet month, which is undeniablylarge,
rather than to the Lympet pride. But how
can such rude clay sympathize with the
noble spark which fires aLyrnpet's breast?
What can they know of the glorious asso-
ciations which endear the grand old name
of Lympet to every member of that noble
house?
Unfortunately one cannot live upon a
name—at least not forever. I lived on
mine as long as it was possible, but atime
at last came when I found that the Lym-
‘ pet name, highly as we rated it, was of
little value on the back of a bill. Com-
mercial people—hanl,practical men—look-
ed at it askance and requested the addi-
tional security of some wretched Jones or
Smith, who could not trace his pedigree
beyond his grandfather. In short, Iwas
becoming financially embarrassed, and,
what was worse, did not know how to ex-
tricate myself. I had no occupation, no
profession.
My father had designed me for the
church, for he was the patron of avery
snug living on his Irish property; but, alas!
while I was still at school the man Glad-
stone came along with his ax and loppcd

limb of a Iiawardcn (mk. Thus prevented

tem of competitive examination proved a
barrier I we] unable to surmount, and
England lost a valuable servant. As trade
was out of the question and the bar offered
no opening, I decided to adopt the career
for which my talents best fitted me and
to do nothing at all. And I did It in ex-
cellent style, rm, as a Lympct should. The
honor of our name suffered nothing at my
hands. I can assure you.
My allowance from my father, which
wu small—for my sisters had to be pro-
vided for, and Cumberground, my older
brother, was wickedly extravagant—mud a
small private fortune which I inherited
from my mother I employed mainly as
pocket money. Almost cvvrything else I
obtained on credit. And so, throwing an
occasional sop to Cerberus in the shape of
a payment on “account" to the more
pressing of my cmlitors and n‘snrting to
an elaborate system of "paper" when I

but I could only 000 one way out of my
difficulties.
My debts were mini-go that I could nov-
srho to pay them unaided, and whom
was at aid to come from? Not from my
father. who had no money toapam. The
Irish property of Kllproctm, from which
thlohief title of our house is dorived, is
situated in a particularly lawless corner
of thecountry, the inhabitants of which
had amted obieetion to paying

more suitors, and a better idea of her own
value. I could see‘that she would reguire
skillful handling, and perhaps more'tlme
than I had at my disposal. Miss Slugg, on
the other hand, was very romantic, rather
shy and not particularly clever.
She was not yet of age, and she had seen
Iittlsof societyof any sort. Berfather
dying soon alm- she oft-school, shelled
not enterui the world till she was 20, and
her aunt, with whom she lived, had no
very grand acquaintances. My rank was
likely to stand me in better-stead with her
than with Miss Merrick, who had more
than one eldest son hovering in her train.
Above all, Miss Slum £100,000
and Miss Merrick only £80,000. That aet-
tled it. As Ihad made up my mlndto
dispose of a share in the Lympet name, it
was my obvious duty to get the highest
available price forit. My honorable pride
would not allow me to depreciate its value
by taking £80,000 when Icould get £100,-
000. And so I decided on Miss Slugg.
I need not dwell open my courtship, the
course of which was as smooth and un-
trouhled as a mmal'e. It was also abou
as dull. For three months it flowed pla-
cldly on, and then I proposed and was ac
cepted. But we kept our engagement se-
cret, and I even persuaded Miss Slugg to
consent to aprivato marriage. She had
wondemd at my request and had made a
few slight objections at first, but the idea
soon recommended itself to her. It would
be so romantic, she declared. My reasons
were not romantic, however. To be frank,
I had seen too many marriages spoiled by
the meddling interference of lawyers and
guardians to risk inviting it in my own
case.
,thn .law comes in at the does, love
files out at the window. Sometimes it is
even kicked out. I did not want any set-
tlements made which might interfere with
my settlement with my creditors and my
own settlement in life. Nor did I care to
expose my most private aflalrs to the pry‘
ing gaze of an impertiaent vulgarian. I
refer to Miss Slugg's uncle. her father's
younger brother. The two Sluggs had
made their money together in some way
connected with tailow—I have never cared
to enter into the revolting Malls—and I
knew that he would be unwilling to let
the fortune which he had helped to make
pass entirely out of the family, for he had
a cub of a son whom he hoped to see mar-
ried to the heiress. I might count upon
his opposition as certain, and my debts
were heavy enough to make, an excellent
weapon in his hands. Perhaps he might
at least persuade his niece to wait a little,
and I could not aiIord to wait even a few
months. My fortunes Were desperate. The
vultures were already circling round my
head. And so I had determined on a pri-
vate marriage and had induced Miss Slugg
to consent to it.
Our arrangements were simple enough.
0n the morning after her twcniydirst
birthday Miss Slugg would leave her un-
clc’s house quietly and repair to a church
a few slums off, whore Belinda, only
daughter of the late Oliver Flugg, Esq,
would be united to the lion. George Lym-
pot, sccrmd son of the Earl of Kiiprocfor.
No cards After the ceremony the happy
pair would pmcccd to the residence of the
bride's uncle and receive his congratula—
tions on the auspicious cvcntprior to start
ing on their honeymoon. Thus all the
loathsome preliminaries would be avoided,
the sordid inquisition into ways and
means, the distnusing family dimensions,
the dcgrmiing precautionary measure of
settlements. (in the whole, it was a clever
little plan and one which, I venture to
think, reflects no small credit on me.
But I was too true a Lympct to take
such a serious step without seeking first
the sanction of the head of our house.
Three days before the date fixed for our
wedding I left London and traveled down
to Iiockimrough Towers tobeg my father's
blessing and borrow a little money, which
was of even more inqmrtanco tome. The
bicss‘ing was a luxury, but the money was
a necessity. I had the marriage expenses
and the cost of the honeymoon to provide
for. I felt—perhaps I was overscrupulous
-—-thnt it would not be right to begin
drawing on my wife’s n-sourccs during a
period supposed to be dedicated to ro-
mance; that it was too early to commence
the serious business of life.
Therefore I had decided to ask my fa-
ther for a loan, hoping that when be per-

point of view. The mischief was done, and
