A few moments, and the carriage stopped at her own door, and she entered the library to find it as she had left it, except that the fire had burned down.

Harry waited to hear no more, but dash- ing down his paper he strode out of the house, and hailed the first cer that paseed. Alter hie had left homo that morning.-- Helen had received a note fron Cloud, containing a request to be honored by her company to the opera that night. She se: ¢ back au answer signifying her acceptance, and they had gone accordingly. On their arrival home, finding the parlor eold, they had gone back to the library, where a fire burned in the grate. Helen stood before the fire, leaning partly on the mantel, while with one haud she relieved herself of her hood. Cloud gallantly took it from her and laid it on a chair, and returned to her side, deliberately placed hjs arm about her waist, and, bending over, kissed her on the lips. Helen sprang back, looked a moment in his face, and, with a voice choked by indignation, burst out with, ¢ M.e Cloud, do you know who and what I am." ¢ Yes, indeed ; you are a very charming lady, and [ admire you above all the wo- men | know,' he said with a emile and halt sneer.' Helen burst into tears, and, throwing herself upon a sofa, sobbed and wept bilter- ly. Y ti scene had been witnessed by a Harty had entered unobeer- ved, and was midway between the parlor duor and the library when Cloud kissed Helen, so that ke took 1n its meaniug st once. With ove stirde he reached Clond's side, and raising his cane laid il heawily over his Bock and shoulders, the latter backing to the door until he reached the ball, when he turned and rushed down the steps. 'Turning to Helen, who still sobbed con-- vulsively, he said gently: [ bad an enga_ement to meet a gentleman | --and busines must be sitended to before pleasure.

Life went or as usual in the Hart man- sion. #larry came and went, leaving his wife alone many evenings--though lately she waa not always alone. Mr. Cloud dropped in more and more frequently, sometimes lo bring a piece of music j for he had discovered that Mrs. Han was a fine vocalist, and that her voice J ed wonderfully with hie tenor. They thus spent many evenings at the piano that would otherwise have been lonely fir Helen--and she began to Jook forward with pleasure to his coming.
