It may not be an ad­ mirable one, but it jrests easily upon jae, and X have felt that to abandon it for another would as snrelv provoke discomfort and ridicule as to walk down State street in sandals and a Roman toga. Thus my friends may strive to the top of their bent to cheapen the laurels of a great profes­ sion through amateur theatricals-- their triumph tempts me not. Deep- eyed youths may transform my neigh­ bor's drawing-room into a curfew-tower or » gory battlefield--theirs be the glory! And until last night no one ever forced a mask upon my fame or a fancy costume on my back. But the knowledge that Katharine Fawcett would enrich this long-her­ alded revel with her presence was enough to whiff away all thought of scruples and precedents. At least two .•weeks ago I asked her to remove my prejudice against masquerades by be­ ing my companion at this one. If she would consent I averred that I should Heed no mask, for my face would shine like an electric light with rapture. "On the contrary," she declared, "you will need it the more; if you make an ' electric light of yourself your brilliancy must be concealed or you will outshine me--a thing I can never permit!" TTnder the inspiration of her promise my enthusiasm rose, and the ntmos- phere of my medieval costume so per­ meated my soul that at last, on the eventful evening of yesterday, I felt quite like a gallant son of chivalry as I waited in my lady's parlor for her light step on the stairs. My dainty satin ana curly wig were, however, envel­ oped in an all-embracing cioak which was to preserve my disguise inviolate from her inquisitive brown eyes. While I was standing by the fire, my Italian nature recovering from the shock of a Chicago winter's night, a laugh sounded in'the hall, and, turning, I saw leaning over the craven balus­ trade of the landing, no fair Juliet, but a hooded, corded monk, whose gray .mask agreed with his sombre garb. He was very light of foot, however, and he came tripping down to me, gazing through the eye-holes of his mask with a roguish look not fresh from a mon­ astery. My thought inadvertently found words: ' - "Why, this is Friat Lawrenea, in- - _atead of the daughter of the Capulets!" "Benedicite!" the voice of the inonk intoned, his arms extented in blessing. "Are you Signor Borneo, that you in­ quire so anxiously for Juliet?" Now I had not dubbed my blue*and- gold gorgeousness after the title of the loving Veronese, yet, as it might past for his as well as another's, I was a trifle disconcerted lest she should know me at the ball in spite of my protecting cloak. According I replied, with an effort at innocence: "If I were going to pose an an Italian so unlncky a dog had better call him­ self Paris than Romeo. But for me either title is too ominous; I reject them both." "Then you should not come to shrift to Friar Lawrence," said my lady monk with a courtesy; "he lives but for Mon­ tagues and Capulets." "To get into trouble--ala9!" I re­ torted. "But you will have to take Mine other name, reverend sir, or jump out of the play for this evening. Friar Lawrence will find «*» unooagenial world at the balL" "It was you who gave toe the title--I don't claim it I am only the hum­ blest of mendicants--1 go a-begging ev«n for a name. But seriously, I am forry you have to see my costume. There is no wrap voluminous enough takeover this, so I must submit to your knowing me." ,"A circumstance which I shall re­ member only to your profit--and my own," I answered, delighted in my very soul that I should not lose her in the crowd of masks. For her eyes, even through a visitor's peep-holes, set my heart aglow, and no other voice was jpnh delicious music to my ears. "You will not betray me, then?* . • #Of course not," I agreed, "since your desire and my interest both point to the same discretion. I wonder if Ku will know me. Indeed, I scarcely ow myself." • ^I shall know you instantly, whether ou are arrayed as Mephistopheles, annibal, or Archibald lirosvenor. You won't have to wait long for my salutation. But come--shall I show you the door, Mr. Hamil on?" "You may lead me thither, Miss Faw­ cett" A pair of medieval*, we left the luxu­ riously modern house, where the dainty work of several centuries shone under electric lights, and drove off ift a nine­ teenth century carriage to the motley "A masquerade," observed my lovely friar, "is nothing without an adventure. If I don't come off heroine in two or three encounters to-night I shall snap my fingers at fortune and desert her for some more powerful goddess." ; /•'You will belie the sex of your habit if you come off heroine," I remarked; • *snd as for adventures--what has a reverend friar to do with adventures?" "He can make them, my lord; that's better then waiting for them. It pleases me to doff our sex's badge of .SJlflerance for one evening.* **Sliall I give you an adventure?" I faHtiuired, with a deep hidden meaning. - ".By no means; you know me. and that would make it commonplace," she retorted. "I shall make love to some fair damsel, and she will take me for a man. if I am only conceited enough." *'And repulse you for a monk, mr tall deceiver! But here we part," I exclaimed, masked as we stopped at the canopied entrance of the daucing- hall. . We passed np the stairs and into our respective dressing-rooms. In a mo­ ment, my cloak off, I had sped adross the slippery floor to a group of masks. dM not see me as she entered soon In* aba atieMiad astcai a gaj little peasant girl and whirled her away in a waltz. while I mingled with the |^|B throng during the next few ices, congratulating myself over the success of my disguise. A motly crowd, iudeed! What cculd more Ittfr Illustrate democratic princi­ ples tS*n a modern masked ball? There was Charles L drinking lemon­ ade with Liberty in her red cap. Queen j flirting with » Chinaman, his Mtijesty Mephinto , wasting precious vtfi on a winged fairy of essence as intangible as his own, and there--O, who was that magnificent youth who bent his jeweled head to whisper to Patience the milkmaid ?--Heliogabalus, priest of the sun, prospective Emperor of Rome! Truly, Time's dial was eclipsed, to the inextricable confusion of the waiting world. Old centuries had revived for one short hour to shake hands with their last successor, bring­ ing their kings and queens, their gal­ lants and fair ladies, to unite with the concourse of modern nations in one grand night of revelry! What a hope­ less jumble of fact and fiction! What incessaut clashing between the masker and his garb! Hamlet on his black and purple was laughing immoderately in a dance with Folly, while a sad-eyed clown mourned in his solitary corner. Two or three esthetic damsels forgot their limp intensity of titter at the howls and antics of Helen's Babies. Near me during a lancers a Turk was discussing Matthew Arnold's last lec­ ture with Mother Goose; and when the music ceased I found myself, though an Italian gallant, fresh from Shak- speare's pages possiblv, neglecting Por­ tia, Juliet, all the poetic tribe, to listen to the lively brogue of an Irish girl who acted her rol£ with all the enthusiasm of a comedian- "Faith!" she cried "an it's a foihe young gintleman does me the honor to slipake to me wid his two eyes! Hev ye's been a-stealin' of yer mother's owld dresses tomakethim pretty little pants, mydarlin'?" The irreverent masks lauglied. "I dipped into the sixteenth century for them, Biddy," I retorted. "The dear Lord save yer from pur­ gatory for that. Mister--what's yer name, my dear ?" % "Mickey McGinn, fair m'stresu," I replied, with my best bow. "What's that ye say?" she cried, her green gloves uplifted in horror. "It's meseif that knows him, and sure I am his dirty fingers niver knew the feelin' of satin. Go along wid yer! Yer beauty's all in yer clothes." Just then a voice behind me whis­ pered, "Hist, Borneo, hist!" and the same instant I was chasing my fair friar, who waltzed away through the throng and eluded me by disappearing into the ladies' dressing-room. Half concealed, I watched the dancers until she came out again, and then accosted her < n the threshold: "Come, my lady, let us have a dance on the strength of our acuteness," I entreated. "They're just starting a lancers; we can get in there next to old Winter and the Queen of Diamonds-- do you see? Or there are George Washington and Pocahontas, if you prefer being patriotic." "O, let us follow royality, by all means--that is, if you ddsire to be my waiting-gentlewoman. You know I am a man this evening." "O pshaw! doff your manliness for the dance! You are much more suc­ cessful as a woman." "Do you mean I don't strut and brag enough?" "Far be it from me to deny your tal­ ents in that direction!" 1 xetorted; "but the strut and brag have about them an"inalienable graoe wnich is far from masculine." "Teach me the masculine variety, then," she laughed; and I led her to the vacant place next to the flashing jewels of the Queen of Diamonds. The quadrille, with its fitful inter­ change of monosyllables, was soon over, and I, weary of small talk and perpet­ ual motion, proposed ascending to the gallery to wacth the revelers. To my surprise her mood was acquiescent, so we slipped ovt-r the shining floor, out through reception rooms where wan­ dered, in the usual array of broad­ cloth and fine linen, a number of men who preferred exile to the discomfort of domino and mask. Up-stairs I led my monkish companion, and then to the deserted corner of the gallery, where I sat down beside her with thoughts fitter for a cloister than a ball­ room. "Ah, well, this is life!" I exclaimed, looking down at the gaudy crowd. "We strive as persistently and as un­ successfully to seem what we are not as these dancers in their in-assorted vmm yoi Hi "How I have angel, why have "Ah! ' now I an! a voice broken with a strange emotion "I have lest the eoarage to conceal my lo/® ' <#M|vt|lfagh I must adore you flntb dwHfmiy ht^nd. my life are (bother's."

In amazement I gazed at her while she passionately went on. "i-or one brief moment the secret of my heart is yours. But if you be ft man of honor, worthy of the name yon bear to-night, you will forget it when I drop this mask, and we shall live op as if this day h:id never been!" She was shaken with sobs while I cried: "What wild talk is this! Shall I give you op for " "Hush, my love! There is; the signal, and with this revel ill is over. See, they are unmasking. You must forget me, discard me as I discard this mask." She threw off her hood, tore off the brown visor, an t greeted shv excite­ ment with a riuging peal of laughter. Heaven and earth! what was this? I sank back on the sofa exhausted at the sight--not of Katharine, my adored one, but of her friend and mine, Phoebe Cassel! This was too much for human pa­ tience ; instantly my brain was on lire with anger. Bowing low I exclaimed with fiery irony: I congratulate you upon the sue cess of your generous fraud, Miss Cas­ sel. You had better proclaim to tho crowd liow exquisitely you' have duped me!** * She refused to tree fire. / f "Yes, wasn't it wdll doiteV'she sni3 still laughing immoderately. "Didn't I catch neatly the tricks of her voice and manner?" "Marvelously?" I assented. "Will you do me the honor to accompany down-stairs?" "With pleasure, |ny loving siguon' Rising and doffing* "the treacherous friar's habit, I threw it over my arm, and, as we advanced, added: "And deign to inform me whether Miss Fawcett wis concerned in this trick?" "What trick" she demanded with warmth. "Indeed, to you alone be longs the credit of this sublime situa­ tion. My poor brain could never have conceived such a comedy. Kate and I exchanged a costume--that is all. Common enough, I assure you." "Will you tell me, then, when this gentleman," indicating the friar's habit, ceased to be Miss Faweett and became you ?" "When the friar and your Irish friend both eluded you," she explained "We fled to the dressing-room. Presto --change! the friar bloomed into a Greek girl, lovely as Helen, eod Biddy Assumed his robes "So you were Biddy, too," 1 exclaim­ ed, gradually modified. "And now you are neither, only an 4every-day young girl.' Well, the world should not lose your talent; pray, go upon the stage at once." "My talent is not vwasted when it serves me with so pretly an adventure. But here we are, and there is Katie waiting to join the procession for sup­ per. Good-night, my mad Italian!" She waved me jauntily away to her friend, who stood beautiful and white as a Greek statute in her classic dra peries. Her grace, the regular beauty of her countenance, her crown of kot ted, filleted hair, and the sweep of her trailing robes might have done honor to Diana. Somehow she seemed fur ther than ever from me after tho scene of which she was ignorant We joined a gay circle at supper, in which sue and Miss Cassel shone most brilliantly, aqd in the german which followed I saw little of my Grecian partner, so popn lar was she, so numerous the favors showered upon her. I was moody, w eary of small talk, and glad when, at nearly 2 o'clock, the last figure was danced and we joined the retreating revelers. Near the door we enooun tered Miss Cassel in opera-cloak and wraps. "I have a duty to perform," she be­ gan, checking a smile. What would come next?, "I must deliver up to you, my Anti gone, this gentleman's moat chivalrous adQr&tion, which a previous, engage- nt forced me to decline."

Had she at iast dropped the smile and jest, removed the barrier from her heart ? It seemed too dear a change, and gazing in her' eyes, I fancy I saw a twinkle in theijr brown depths. Such a possibility was too much for human endurance. "Take off that vile mask," I cried, snatching mine away. We are through with those mummeries now." "Not now; not till the word is given.
