TORONTO To the little sclgool-teacher, whose existence had hitherto «been passed in the seclusion of the country, this new life seemed a sort of Eden, Day after day they went to flower shows or musical breakfasts. drove in the park, and along the dazzling facades of Fifth Avenue; evening after evening they sat in private boxes at the theâ€" atre or opera. For Geoffrey was rests less and uneasyâ€"he seemed literally unable to sit down in rest and quietâ€" ness to his book or newspaper. Moreâ€" over, he had been critical and exactâ€" ing of late. He took exception to the petty artless ways which he had once admired; he lectured Saidee on her "YÂ¥es," â€" said_ Geoffrey, absently, "Celine is a perféect artiste in her way." Saidee "I didn‘t know that dres could be such a beautiful thing," said Saidee, one evening, as, in a white cashmere operaâ€"cloak, bordered with plumy white ostrich feathers, a dress of deadâ€"white satin, and an exquisite hat of white rosebuds twined in a netâ€" work of pearls, she entered the carâ€" riage which was to take her to the theatre. he answered So _ Mrs. “\‘Geoffrey Martindale was taken to a ‘hotel in New~ York â€" a huge brownâ€"stone palace, with marble pavements, stairs carpeted Awi#-th Wilâ€" ton, and decorated with Cloisonnee vases, filled with giant palms, huge caoutchoue plants and palms whose green fringes seemed to reach upward to the roof.. Rooms were engaged at a rate which Geoffrey never paused to estimate, and the young couple settled down, for how long a time he never stopped to think. "Do you know, Geoff," said the bride, after aâ€"day or two, "I seem to myself different from the other laâ€" dies here." ‘"Well, do you know, sweetheart," he said, solemnly, there is a‘ differâ€" ence in your outside rig. I‘ve noticed it myself. And I asked Mrs. Labouâ€" chere and /sl"l,e said all that you needed was a French maid, and there‘s one coming toâ€"night." "Different‘" he repeated, turning her appleâ€"blossom face up toward his and kissing her on the very centre of her lips; ‘"of, course you are different, Saidee. There isn‘t «a woman here that can hold a ‘:andle to you in beauty." "But my dress, Geoffrey," pleaded Saidee, laughingly struggling out of bhis clasp. " : "Aâ€"French maid!" repeate Saidee, aghast at the prospect "Andâ€"and vexed?" We "Just at first, yes." "But he‘ll be reconciledâ€"in time?" "He‘ll have to," said Geoffrey. "Because I am all he has got since my sister eloped. «with that seamp Rockmore." »Saidee‘s eyes filled with tears. "Geoffrey," said she, "we have done very wrong" . "I deny it, my love, in toto!" said Geofftey.. "We love each other, and we have got married.. Now, where is the archâ€"crime in all that?" ~â€" "All the other ladies have ‘em, you know," soothed Geoffrey. “An% this one comes well recommended. *‘ She lived\ with one of Mrs. Labouchere‘s friends, who has gone to St. Fetersâ€" burg, and Celine was afraid of" the climate,"‘ "Is that her name?" "So Mrs. Labouchere says. Celine Francillon.. Isn‘t it Frenchâ€"novelly ?" "very well," said Saidee, resignâ€" cdly. "Wf_T am to have a French maid, "I‘ll ssubmit to it.. But, Geoff, Fd a deal rather have the measles." He laughed and tapped her cheek. "It will be all right when you are used to it," said she. But Celine Francillon was not the least like what Saidee had fancied her. She was a pretty, modest young woman, considerably nearer thirty than twenty, who dressed as quietly as) a nun and s%ok.e with the least perceptible accent; and under her superintendence Mrs. Martindale‘s wordrobe assumed the elegant stylishâ€" ness which it had. heretofore wanted. _ ‘‘Nonsense!" said Geoffrey, ‘"it will come fast enough. Don‘t you go fretâ€" ting your dear little head off now. T‘ll manage all those things, you will see, as right as possible. Can‘t you trust me?" "But we ought to have waited for his consent," pleaded Saidee. "OF course I can trust you!" said Saidee, smiyng. "I think it extremely likely, my love." . ' 0 oalegd "Oh, Geoffrey! will he be prised ?" _‘"Never a word, my dear," he fessed. "Do you mean to say thatâ€"that you haven‘t told him about me?" she questioned. "Are we going home, Geoffrey ?" she asked, nestling her head against his shoulder in tWeâ€"semiâ€"darkness of the dimly lighted car. *‘ "Why, Martindale Heights, of course," Saidee answered, innocently. "Where your father lives." ‘‘Well, no, not just yet," admitted Mr. Martindale. "I shall take you to a hotel in New York for a few weeks, I think, just for the present." "But ought we not to go there ‘"Home, pet’J? Where do you call home?" "Not quiteâ€"at first," said CGeoffrey.

"But you are an angel, Saidee, to bear so sweetly with my diabolical temâ€" per, and I deserve to be kicked downâ€" stairs." wE So he went away on the plea of "business which must be attended to directly," and when he came back to dinner he brought with him an exâ€" quisite little lace pin, studded with tiny diamonds, like a bar of quiverâ€" ing light. She wore it that. evening in the scarf of black Chantilly lace, which was folded around her slender white throat, but as she sat alone in the blaze of the grate fire‘waiting for him to come down from his dressingâ€" room, the tears under her long dark eyelashes sparkled brighter than the diamonds.

"The Message of the Hour‘ "Is it worth| while," he said, petâ€" ulantly, ‘"to make such a scene as this, simply because I asked you to try and say ‘coming,‘ instead of ‘comâ€" in‘ and ‘get, instead of ‘git, and to remember that now is spelled nâ€"oâ€"w, "It you will only lister to me, Saideeâ€"" "No," she interrupted, with someâ€" thing of indignant annoyance in her manner, "I would rather not ligten, Geoffrey.

Geoffrey Martindale flung down the ivory paperâ€"knife with which he had been toying. "My darling, you must be aware of it yourself," he rétorted, with some irritation. : Saidee bit her lip. Of late Geoffrey had harped with unreasonable iteraâ€" tion upon his family, what they would expect, and how they were best to be conciliated.

Chaloner and Ivy are nothâ€" ing to youâ€"I wish to goodness I had never seen or heard of either of them! And I suppose it is a part of your rural education to read other people‘s private letters!" Geoffrey Martindale, whose amour propre had been sharply pricked by sundry allusions in his father‘s letâ€" ter, turned almost savagely upon his young wife. "Geoffrey," said she, speaking out before she thought, "who is Chaloner ? And who is Ivy? You never told me that you had another sister." Thus far she had read, riveted to the paper with fascination, ‘and then she innocent, astonished gaze t band‘s perturbed face. "YÂ¥es," said the young husband, looking admiringly down on the fairy figure as it flitted lightly here and there.

"Oh, Geoff!" she cried, "what have you got under your arm?" j "A box," he answered, succinetly, "But what is in the box?" x "Something for an. inquisitive young woman," he gaily retorted. "Open it and see." It was an operaâ€"cloak, of some pure white Eastern material, embroidered in fantastic sprigs of gold thread, and edged with the softest swan‘sâ€"down, while the lining of the palest blue satâ€" in relieved the design â€" with artistic delicacy, and blue tassels caught the fold at the back. 3 "Not half so good as you deserve," he answered,. laughing. ‘"Eh? What? A. letter, Celine?" â€" Saidee glanced wistfully into face. s He frowned more gloomily still, and with an impatient! backward moveâ€" ment of his elbow, seemed to motion her away. In the same instant, howâ€" ever, one of the sheets escaped from his bhand and fluttered to the floor unnoticed by himself, Saidee, stooped to recover it, and in the instantaneous movement her, eye fell on a woman‘s name, written in her fatherâ€"inâ€"law‘s strong, distinet characters. 4 "Madame is always . there," the French woman answered, with a backâ€" ward motion of her head toward the room she had just left. "Madame seems inclined to droopâ€"it is for monsieur to arouse her to animation." never told me she was here, GeOLL. . "Because I wanted to surprise you, my dear," he said.
