Address Lady Leigh Leigh Park. Down- shire." ‘ .1 simple notice in a local paper. but productive of some excitement in the Quiet umntry club, fivhcre it is seen for the first time and read aloud. "The thin end of the wedge at last." drawls a conxeited-looking man. with Dale. prominent. blue eyes and heavy amber mustaches, who is most co'mmon- ly known to his friends as the Heath- en‘Chinee, but to the world at large as the Honorable Graver Meade. “The inveterate haterflof our sex has, after all, discovered that a certain amount of male society is indispensable and takes this opportunity of avowing her mistake.” "Let us take our triumph modestly," laughs another; "for after all she has made a gallant defense and stuck to her colors seven years." “Only to raise the siege at last." "Scarcely that. It is not an uncon- ditional surrender. Mark well. the ad- vertisement runsâ€"‘An elderly gentle- man of quiet habits preferred.’ " â€" "That's for appearances. Anybody can see what it means." “Everybody has not your astuteness, Graver. Now, to my simple intellig- ence, it seems as though she meant what she said; as though she were sac- rificing her own feelings for the sake of her child. But this explanation is too natural and commonplace and not one to be received with much favor. Seeing this, the speaker takes up the Sitturday Re~ view and abandoning the topic, buries himself in its pages. He a man sufficiently wellâ€"favored to always attract attention. and yet free from any beauty that. might be justly termed effeminate. _T:'he lips are rather sad and often compressed in anger or Scorn; the face itself is bronz- ed and disfigured with a scar, but the . eyes are clear and keen, and a smile V will flash into them at times singul- arly sweet and winning.

Some stories had been afloat at the time of his departure in reference to Q a supposed entanglement. with a too fnir daughter of Judah; but the con- serv‘ulivc county shuddered at the bare idea of such an esclandre, refusing the story all credence. while not even the most curious would have dared to ques~ tlon Gervase Dare himself as to . the (truth of the reports. " "Seven years' mourning! respectable term of widow‘hood; not. ev- en a good husband could expect more; and i don't think the late Lord Leigh was over accused of being that," con- tinues the Heathen Chincc. languidly.j "And another year will see her mar- ried again. the ice being once broken; let us hope. that it will prove a more fortunate venture. A grand chance for all they ounger sons. Wish i wasn't out of the list." says'hfr.

"She was a beautiful child when imiglnmarried her. and must be a. lovely woman still." “She may take a fancy to' me." lisps Captain \‘encre. complacently. “I'm not so had-looking. they tell me." 'l‘he_othet‘ shakes his head in decided ncga l iv o. "You don't catch a bird twice with the same chaff and Leigh was the handsmnest man of his day." ‘ "She may prefer intelligence this time" observes the Honorable. Graver Meade. "And that will ho fatal to your inâ€" terest." puts in Colonel Dare, quietly. "According to your account. no one has a chance" says Captain Venero, crossly. "l don't think any one has." "Except the elderly tutorâ€"lucky felâ€" low !" drnwls the Heathen Chince. “For my part." declares Captain Ven~ are. “l disbelieve entirely in this ram avis. i don't mind letting anybody a pony that she chooses the best looking man that. presents himself as her son's guide to knowledge."

"Be content,” answers Colonel Dare. ‘ ravely; "the golden apple is yours. Ve will not dispute it," and then, with a hastily-suppressed sigh, he turns ~and leaves the room. ’ “He's a queer fish,” observes Cap- Itain Venere, with a vexed shadow on lhis handsome face, as the green baize door swings to behind the colonel. "I ‘ never can make him out," I “Nor Ieither," assents the M. P.. 'unveasfly. "He seems to take this joke :very seriously; i" hope it ,may end ' well." In the meantime Colonel Dare strides . on swiftly through the one quiet street -which constitutes the. town, until he reaches the small rustic inn- where his dog cart is in waiting. The groom stares at little at his mast- er’s impassive face as he jumps in, and, taking the reins, lashes the horse in- to a quick gallop. _ r The colonel .does not slacken speed until he reaches his own gates, and , then, suddenly bethinking himself, pulls up, and drives more slowly. There can have been no reason for his former haste. for, once in the pri- vacy of his own room, he hides his face in xis hands. ant for a Kong time is ‘ or his future fate than either of them could have supposed. ‘ - . At a garden party at Richmond. 81“ on by some of his inchelor brother ofâ€" ficers he had met a beautiful Jewess. who could certainly never have been invited had any of the ladies of the .regiments been expected. although, “0 thing could have been urged against her antecedents or present conduct. liar mother was with her; and other ladies were there whose exclusion from the inner circles of society was less mark- ed; and. although Gervase Dare kilo“- 'from the moment when he saw her first. that this was not the woman he could ,tntroduoe to his ancestral home as his (bride, although that knowledge haunt.- 'ef.i him with a strange persistence con- srdering it. was their first meetingâ€"and what alone should surely have warned ihim of his dangerâ€"he could not_resxst -lmgering at her side and listening to lher low-toned voice. \ ‘ith a woman’s quickness of ’percep' tion. she saw the- conquest she. had made. and determined to turn it to her advantage.

(He was rich, well-born. and could raise her to that position for which she longed. and from which she was hopelessly debarrâ€" ed by that accident of birth. \Vomen ' less beautiful had made marriages suf- ficiently brilliant to obliterate their past~why should not she? And so for, two months the unequal, game went on, she a woman of the world, though not in it; he a beardless boy. With too little experience to guess to what all this was leading. The bright smiles that greeted his approach and the brighter tears that started so natâ€" urally at his departure were bewilder- ing enough to blind the judgment and daze the senses of even an older man; but in his‘ weakest moment, when led on to. confess his love. he remembered his mother’s words and told her at the same time that he could never make her his wife. ‘ Such stormy scenes followed, so many reproaches and prayers, fthat; the boy was nearly overcome by their frequent repetition. and only saved himself by flight. Feeling he was no match for the win woman who had ensnared him. he realized that discretion in this case really was the better part of valor; and be exchanged into an indian re- giment, without telling any one of his intention beforehand, so that it was from Malta he wrote his farewells. To his mother he told the whole story and she, knowing that through some such probation, all must pass alike, readily forgave him and sent her lovtng sympathy and regret. But the story was not fated to end here. Six months later, when the whole country was‘ convulsed with the horrors of the massacre of Cawnpore. it was Gervase Dare‘s duty to go and try to reinfuse some order into that fearful scene, it wasa sight to make the strongest shudder. The dead were lying in heaps. hearing marks of the mutilation they had received from' their implacable en- emies; and here and ther‘e was to la seen the Itozly of a Sepoy who had been cut down in the midst of his savage fury. at demoniac smile‘still‘ hovering over the cruel colored face. It was indeed a. fearful scene to wit- ness; but a. greater trial awaited the brave young officer who had already distinguished himself in the fighting that had taken place, and who, owâ€" ing to many gaps caused by death, has! won his company. ‘3 ..1 , and was presents with a ohkénolll two inches in le h. and dressed in cheese cloth to ma h the peanut sacks.
