Trapped by an Heiress.

A COSIER liiucu man tne big sitting-room at Hillcrcst would have been hard to fit*, if one had travelled from Lands End to John O'Gioata ; and this eventful evening, when the destiuies o£ two worthy people were about taking definite form-two people who had never seen each other, and who had heard of each other so often that they to were both curlourJy eager to meet—on this important evening the sitting-room or Hillcrest had never looked pleasanter at °°Ahuge fire of logs glowed like molten carbuncles in the open fire-placei; on tne table in the centre of the floor whose cover matched the Rowing crimson of the carpet, tfith a silver stand that held a, dozen snowy tta* tapers, Whose beaming light contrasted exquisitely-with the ruddy glow the table, in « t»R churned chair, with hia feet thrust towdrd the genial warmth of the hearth his grey dreesiflg aown sitting comfortably on his portly form, his golden rimmed-gl^ses on his none, sat the owner and master of Hillcrest, MrAlnnh Crossington, rich, aood-naturcd, and tond ©I his own way. Opposite him was the nm tress of the place-little sbreWd-faced, Bharp-noeed, n.erry Aunt Com, his si*ter, who since her widowhood, hud come to UUI -crcst tojnake her bachelor brother's home as pleasant ns ehe could. Thatslie had succeeded was very evident by the way in which he looked up from a letter he had been reading-the conhdential nindl v way in which he did it. '■ Walter writes acurious letter m response to ray invitation to come and spend a few weeks at Hillcfest as soon as ho gets over bis fatigue from his ocean voyage home, after bis live yeais'tour abroad. I'll read it to y°Ho leaned near the aoftly glowing light, and began the fSbtfrt Concise reply that Walter Austin had written from his chamber kind, indeed, Uncle Abian to ask me down to Hillcrest for as long as I wish to stay, and I can assure you that 1 have been bo long a wanderer that tho idea of a home is very pleasant to me But when I take into consideration the peculiar importance you propose attaching to my visit- I am unwilling to accept this invitation. Tojme the very idea of having my fancies andinoiiuatious putinlo harness, and to feel that I am on continual duty to wio my way intp the good .graces of my second cousin, Mable, whortn you are good enough to wish me toniairy—" Mrs Cora interrupted sharply— "Abiah. you never surely went and told our nephew that you had in view his mar ria"C with Mabel';" ■' Her tone was energetic, almost apprehen "^ Why not 1 I certainly did. I told him in my letter that it was a, chance for bim he'd-never get again, and that he needni feel under such terriole obligations to take a fancy to Phil's little Mabel, but to come down'and be coushly, and if anything should happen, it'd be right all round. Mrs Cora knitted vigorously, her lavender cap-ribbons quivering in the mellow taper K°'' VAll I have to say is, you're-* fool, Abiah 1 Walter is right. A young man dosen't like to have his fancies under reiu and whip, and the very fact that we want him to marry will make bim v.disposed to do it- You've made a great mistake in tne Mr trcssington looked aghast at hi» sister "g determined face. " Why, I really didu't suppose— "Ot course jon didn't. It's only natura ntupidity. you dear old fellow 1 K.eu are all alike. Don't 1 kuow them likei » book i and you've ruined your hopes for Mabel and W'tor at «h" »-cry nnt«et." Mr Crosaington started discrmatcttly. "i am »uro 1 meant it all riunt enough, Cora, I ceitainly wanted Walter to know what a little darling cur Mabel is, and what a nice little wife she would make tor any

"Very commendable, indeed; only, il you had consulted me upon the letter yon I should ba»o advised you to sa> aothin" about Mabel, or her cbarjis or her expectations. I should have simply asked liim to come and see ds, and left the rest to Mabel's blue eye*, you see, Abiah 1 His lips compressed slowly. ■ "I think I see. And my hopes m that direction are all ruined 1" The silver needles clicked rapidly, and the snow-white yarn came reeling mernlyoffthe ball under her arm. " Not at all. .Leave that to me, and 111 see what can be done. Trust a woman's wn to Ret even a blundering old fellow like your ueltoutof a scrape." She smiled and nodded and looked alto gether so mischievous that Mr CresswßtoD became quite excited over her little mystery. "Doexplain, Cora. • , And when she explained he leaned back in bi« e.hnir. with an expression of positive awe and admiration on his face. •' What a •woman you are, Cora 1 1 declare, it beats anything I ever heard in the whole course of my life I" #

After dusk, a elorious winter day, with hero and there a star twinkling in the pale gray sky, and the lights and fires in the Hillcrest sitting.room making an eloquent welcome to Walter Ausiin, as lie stood in the midst of the home circle, tall, gentle manly, handsome, and self-possessed. _ . Old Mr Creisington wav in the richest humour as he led forward two young girls. " Come, don't be ehy, now. Walter, this isyour cousin, Mabel Oressington, and this is her good friend and inseparable companion Irene Vance, come to help to entertain yeu. My nephew, Mr Walter Austin, girls. And this is Aunt Cora—you remember her well enough, eh." And bo the presentation was mernly gotten over, and Walter found'himself in the most pleasant family he had ever known; They were remarkably pretty girls', with blue eyes—although Miss Vance's were de cidely the deeper biue and more bewitching —hnd lovely, yellow gold heir. Walter found himself admiring the style of Miss Vance's coiffure before he bad known ncr an how; and when Ihe went tip to hisroem that night he felt ns if between the (two, roguish Mabel and sweet little Irene, he neverjwould come out heart whole.

" For Mabel is a good little darling," thought he, " and I will take Greatuncle Abiah's advice and fall in love with her, and thereby secure a generous share of the Cres singtoa estate?. Egad that's a happy thought!" But the handsome young gentleman went to sleep and dreamed instead of Mabel's laughing eyes or of Irene's gentle tender ones ; and awoke tomewhere in the middle of the night, unable to get to sleep for think ing other. And the after days were not much better. Despite the golden value of Mabel, there ■was something about Irene Vance that made this ' headstrong fellow very foolishly in different to the advice he had sworn to fol low. " Because, by Jove ! a fellow would have to be made ont of giauite to resist the sweet, shy ways of such a little darling as Irene ! And I'll marry her i^she'll have me, and the money and property mcy ro -to the dogs ! I've a head and a pair of hands, and blue eyed Irene shall not sutler !" It was not an hour later that he met her in the hall, carrying great boughs of holly, with which, to festoon, down the walnut staircase. : - "Give me your harden, Irene,"said he. "Why did you not tell me you were going to gather it, and let me go with you ? It is altogether too heavy a bunion for your arms to bear." He managed to get tba lovely sprays from her arms, but it required an immense amount of tardy erlort ou his part, and shy, sweet blushing on hers. 1' Answer roe, Irene. Why didn't you let me go with you ? Wouldn't you have liked it ?" . He demanded her answer in the most cap tivating, lordly way, and she dropped her yes in great confusion. "Y-e-s." " Then why were you so cruel to me ?" "I'm not cruel to anybody. Indeed I must go now." Walter placed himself squarely in the way, and was looking down at her rose tinted cheeks. " No, you can't go yet. Irene you are cruel, or you would never deprive one of the opportunity to enjoy the blessedness of your society." His voice lowered tenderly, and he dropped his hand nearer her curls. , "You know I think il cruel in you to be so distant, and reserved with me—dou't you, Irene ?" She shrank away, her lovely form droop ing like a lily, her cheeks hanging out the signals of distress and confusion. "Ob, please don't talk so tome. Indeed I must go. Mabel U waiting for the holly, and she— they won't like it if—" But she was a prieouer iv his tight clasp. " If they find you and me talking so con fidentlytojjether." "No ! I mcim if I don't take the holly at onceto Mabel." Walter put his arm around her waist be fore she knew what he was doing. 11 Irene, look up. You shall not go untik

She was silent for one second, and neiaw i the quiver on her red lips. Then she raised lilt heat! slowly, shyly. " You lote me 1 Oh Walter, whatwill the* all say ? Don't you know it js Mabel job should say that to ? I am nobtftly Waiter and Mabel is an heiress f ' ' Walter had both aims around her ly thk time. And was looking ardently in }^ t glowing face. " I know Mabel is an heiress, aacta nic» little girl; and I also know feu are » darling—my darling—and the only ofa i ever asked to be my wife, or ever shall ask I Say yet, pet." His tone was low and tender hit triumphant. "An* you can deliberately give nh.gol much for only just me." ;,,„,, Her wondrouß eyes met his bravely iov and thrilled him with the love light in tbern. " Only just youy my own darling 1 yf\A " , you lire all the world to me 1 Come, we will igo tell Uncle Abiah at once. Juat onekijj i first—you must l" And he had more than one or t-wo, before he led her blushing, with tears trembling on bet lashes,-like diamonds on a golden thread! to Uncle Abiab, who satin his library %ith' Mrs Coftt/ indiTstrionely lookiiig over tt receipt book. They looked up in ■ guprfie ias Walter marched in, Irene pniig ,arrii":a picture of confusion. . " If you please, Uncle Abiah, Iwaiityoij, blessing and cordial consent to receive tii» little (Jtl for your neice. I loVe her arjd 6 h e loves me. ' .

"Say 1 Why tell them yes, and welcome, and let them know their Aunt'CoraißoTa tool if their Uncle Abiah is." Walter looked astonished, and felt Irene's hand tremble on his arm " What is it, dear?"

The snf' ferer's Umbs swelled, tho legs lost all sensibllitj to pan ; tho foot could be wrenched round or the skin pierced with a lance without Inflictins the slightest suffering. Tho sick man was ovl dently unconscious of his having legs, and hlr brain wa? seriously affected as if with lunacy. tn this deplorable st&te he was kindly brougr from tho islands to Auckland by Mr H. Hender eon in tho schooner Coronet. Captain Moellei and, being a German, he was received by th< Gorman Consul, G. Yon dfr Hoyde, Esq., and placed in tho District Hospital, where he re ceived treatment for throe weeks with no indica tion of improvement, his case being pronounced by one and all a most boneless one. The captain of the "Coronet, knowinp that extraordinary cures had been effected by the use of Hitcbens' Celebrated Blood lltostorei requested the proprietor of the Blood Restorer to take the case In hand, and a oontract was entered into of "No euro, no pay." Mr Hitohene proceeded to tho Hospital, examtnod the invalid and found him In an apparently dying Btatc with Bcarcoly a npark of life left.

TESTIMONIAL.] Auokland, N.Z. To H. A. H. Hitchons, Esq. Before leaving Auckland on my return voyage to the Islands, I havo to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho surprising cure I have recoiv6d at your hand?. Coming to Auckland as I did a dying man, being palsied and generally unconscious, and hearing from others that no hope of recover; w»s hold out by medical men, I look upon yon now as the preserver of my life. I am convinced that to you ■ medicine alone Is dno the credit for my now being a living man. I beg to thank you most sincerely for tho kind ness you have shewn me while staying in your bouso, and in conclusion would earnestly re commend sick people to use your Blood Restorer, as it Is tho most extraordinary purifier of the blood I ever heard of, or met with, in my travels. It one of the many good giftß of a beneficent Creator to his suffering children on this earth. W. OPPERMAN. Auckland, December 19, 1879. Signed in the presence of G.
