Interesting Tale of me in unmanned“. (Continued from last week.) When Madame de Schwereadorf had disposed herself and her charges on con- venient seats, there was asort of rush towards ihem,â€"friends coming up to shake hands, gentlemen wanting to be intrcduced, mher gentlemen wanting to ask for dancer, the tw 1 girls were plunged into a whirl of talk, of questions and answers, of names getting put down on cards. Arnold stood a little on one side with folded arms, watching it. all silently. 1 Other people besides Arnold had specu- "Hd " 1; whether the beautiful Mexican up» wmid to much disturbed by the abrupt. depatture of Prince Dâ€"â€".

That sort of thing is not much in his line. I know him better than that.” “So the amethysts did not suit after all ?” young Baroness Bodcnbach remark- ed, the first time she found he self near Reafa. Her phrase was put very sweetly, but there was a. point of interrogation a! the end of it. “No, thank you, they did not do,’ ‘ L,_-e1.lro ‘5] flied them the end or It. “So, thank you, they Beats answered, frankly. on, but the stones were so cold, and the chain scratched my neck; and besides, I found I looked better without. them," she concluded, with perfect simplicity. 5,,” --\:‘A did not do,” “I tried them on, but the stones chain scratched n I found I looked she concluded,_Wi1 “Oh, really!" ‘ ‘thaulein Ream to get used to 01 taming her head beside her. “I" accustcxm d to WI she concmaea, m...

"Fraulein Reata seems to find it diflicnlt 'to get used to our fetters,” said Hulka, turning her head light1y towards the lady beside her. “Perhaps you have n u: been accustom. d to wearing ornamen'a often?" "No, I am not accustomed to wearing them at all,” said Reata, readily, too joyous to feel provoked ; and then a waltz s‘riking Up. 6h . . a-.1:..n. t'rn midat 0f to joyous to feel provunw , -..- -M waitz s‘riking up, she moved off on her partner’s arm, whirled into the midst. of the dancersâ€"light, supple, her feet mov- ing instinctively to the music, enjr-ying the movement. and the excitement and the brilliancy aboutfier, valsing as well as the moat. routine valsers in the rmm, and with twenty times their grace of motion. Otto, standing with his back against one of the lofty pillars, looked after her, his finely-marked brows drawn together in similarly to one of Arnold’s portemous frowns, his face pa‘ter than was it wont. “'hen he had watched her for a minute he turned. away impatiently. He s‘w Balka just relened, from the arm of her partner, sinking down to her seat, with her pearl-grey satin-falling in folds areund her and the pearls on her necks shining white and soft; and with a. sudden movement, asif to shut out that other vision, he went up and asked his wife to waltz withhim.‘ - ,___ -5 4.1.. nrnmna]- as thing thus withheld worth in 11159!“ the pm! and “n5, little morethh 9'3" Waltz "I!“ u..â€" Balk; did. not jump at the ' ht have been expected, Otto was the only person whom she _re§‘.ly cared to day , A _‘l_ mam: "Sharp old 13.11 11d woman, ! to another. nth in the wry nick of time. mad already, and if he had he: to night, his csrcnet woul Lava been laid. at her Id h‘ave bat, an} thing. u... mm: hussar fellow with he did not suit after LS Bodcxgbach remark- 3 found he self near was put very sweetly, t of interrogation at the princess,” said ‘. “Gst away her I Yb 1'“ nick of time. nervons moth- r necks shining with a. sudden out that other lked his Wife to Acting on 113133 a time that he saw Rea up to her and ofl'ere all in a whirl; his were topsy turvy.

L - _.--,x “:3 during that n she was half-way round the se e fully realised that it was w Otto she was dancing withâ€"it was Otto’s sr arm that was round her waist, Otto’s hand that was clasping hers at that moment. She ought to have sunk into the earth, she told herself, remembering what he had once been to her ; remembering how often he had held her hand when that hand was to have been his, and how his arm had been put round her waist, one short year ago, with the right of an atfianced bridegroom. But somehow she could not feel ashamed, as she ought to v have done. She was surprised and shock- ed at herself, but it was no use. They l were nothing to each other now : he was i nothing to her, and she could be nothing to him. It was dreadful to think that she could thus quietly dance round the room with the man whom she had once expected to go through life with, who had professed to be her lover ; nay, whom she herself once loved, and nowâ€"another woman’s husband. She felt perfectly indifferent, although it was wrong and unnatural, she told herself, to be so. In fact it was rather pleasant than other- wise, Otto danced so well, aud steered her and her heavy satin train skillfully among the knot of dancers. A little later in the evening, the ice being broken, Otto danced with her once or twice againâ€"even spoke to her, such common- lace remarks as may pass between the most indifferent Halka might have heard every word without cause for displeasure. only whe room that sh never3 to be disinterred; buried deep 1' thingsâ€"by necessity, by vanty, by !. expediency, by the very consciousness of d his mortificationâ€"and buried still deeper t by her in the deep grave of oblivion and r inditi'erence. Otto sufiered acutely, of course; for how could it be otherwise? h Only just at this moment he suffered less g than he has sufiered, and than he will suffer later. Every great misery has its t. reaction, at least for a time ; it is impos- e. sible to go on suffering very acutely for- ever. The very {act of having gone through such tormente of suffering, of k- having reached the climax of his situation, at and put the insurmountable barrier y, between himself and Beats, served to at blunt him for the moment, enough to enable him to play his part in the little word to Axnold. and rather rigid, evid upon his dignity, with very plainly that. he V no one for his actionsâ€" which he wore on this "Arnold is anything.

But when does felicity remain unalloyed for long? Reeta’e felicity remained unelloyed during three whole figures. In the middle of the fourth a sudden shade of unrest seemed to alight on her face: her eyes wandered about the room in search of something. Arnold. having just rescued her from a. newpiece of confusion, noticed The rooms had grown consider-sou 1 fuller within the last half hour ; there was a fresh accession of peopleâ€"men who had been dining late, or had been gam- bling in the card-rooms, and now came lounging in, and stood in groups or knots, watching the progress of the quadnlle. “No, thank you, I am quite well ; only I had an odd sensation for a moment, :5 if a. serpent were looking at me." “A serpentl". repeated Arnold. .with una: The quadrtlle over, Amota mu m... seem in a hurry to leave his psrtner yet; he did not take her back to her phee, but began promenading the room. u‘ many of the other couples were doing.

Uounr Stayn was saying, not looking down at her exactly, for she was nearly the same height as he was, but looking at her. He had hardly left her side for a minute the whole evening: he was very much in earnest, but not difiidentâ€"sccording to all human manner of foresight he must be successful. Langenield, who had rapidly got rid of his green-robed, wide- mouthed, small-eyed partner, and was now coming along briskly in search of Rents (for he did not see why Arnold should have the monopoly now, just because he had danced the quadrille with her), perceived the expression on the Count’s face, and understanding that something serious was going on, went past quickly, so as not to disturb such a ‘critical moment.

There was another room off the ball-room, less large, less lofty, with seats for non-dancers, and into this room some of the dancers were stray- ing in couples and tries, to enjoy the greater coolness, Arnold and Reala among ' the others. Langenfeld, looking about wildly, caught sight of them just as they were passing through the door, and hastened forward; but before he could reach them, there arose an interruption, an obssacle, something which turned matters differently. Just as they entered the other room, Arnold was surprised by feeling the hand which lay on his arm make a sudden con- vulsive movement. the effect of a violent start apparently ; for on looking at Rcata he perceived that the colour had left her cheeks, and that she was staring at acme- body or something with eyes very wide- open. Following their direction, Arnold next saw a man who had been lounging on one of the seats, and was now rising and coming towards them, with an odious was in evening dress, and a general im- ‘ pression was conveyed of there been too much white shirt seen, not so over-white, either; also a general impression of snob. bishness and bad style. “What is the matter, and who is that fellow? Am I to knock him down?" asked Arnold, looking in surprise from Reata to the man advancing towards them. “Oh, don’tâ€"for heaven’s sake don't!" she answered. in frightened tones. must speak to him.” . “Do you know hint?"
