Stepping from point to point, he reached the top, and stood with his feet at the levelof their heads.

There is usually nothing . that astounds a popular idol so much as a sudden reaction in "popular" sentiâ€" ment, and a decline in ;I»opnlar" favor. Not so Daniel Hunter. He always knew that just such a reaction would some time or other ensue, and for awhile preâ€" vailâ€"that the idolatry of the people would be followed by the detestation of the people, as surely as a surfeit is folâ€" lowed by sickness, a feast by a fast, day by night, or autumn by winter; only he did not expect it just now â€"just as, after an absence of seven years, he set his foot upon his native shore. Thereâ€" ftore, after the first moment of surprise, «nd almost of incredulity, he turned to his wife, hanging upon his arm, and said: "The hour has comeâ€"somewhat sudâ€" denly â€"somewhat inopportunely, love!â€" but the hour has come; the tide of popuâ€" lar favor is turning, and we must bear it as we may.

"And which 1 refused to grantâ€"yos. 1 remember that," said Damel Hunter, with the same dark, troubled look comâ€" ing into his face. "O‘Leary! What of him?"

Her head was bare, and her grey hair cut close for coolness, though the night was so sold.

CHAPTER XXxIIL A rapid drive of twcnt{ minutes brought them to the lunatic asylum. They alighted and entered its gloomy portals, and, led by the doctor, passed up its long passages and dimlyâ€"lighted staircases to an upper hall, flanked on both sides by rows of cells. All was very quiet in this department â€"the few inmates of the cells seemed to be asleep, and the shaded lamp that hung from the ceiling shed a cheerful light over the seene. The physician pausâ€" ed before one of the doors, opened it ~autiously, and beckoned some one out. A hospital nurse appeared at his sumâ€" mons. "In one of her deathlike sleeps." "How long has it lastod?" "Upward of two hours." "She will awake before long," said the doetor, and then, turning to Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, he said: "We can enter." "Oh, Mr. Hunter! we have heard it all! Oh, don‘t you know who it is? It is Sylâ€" via! It is Sylvia! 1 always felt it, but never knew it! Oh, why was it we never knew our angel child?" Daniel Hunter grasped the doctor‘s hand in silent emotion, and arose with the purpose of going to break this to his wife, but the connecting door opened, and Mrs. Hunter entered, pale as ivory, and holding out her hands like one blind and in danger of falling, until she met and threw g}lerself ung her husband‘s bosom, exclaiming : as well as sorrow, at the foundation of her malady, for she would often rave of a crime committed, and of a sweet and noble lady whom she had bereaved, and of a stolen child; but in her lucid interâ€" vals, if this was alluded to by me, for the sake of drawing out the truth, she would laugh in a most malignant, defiâ€" ant,, triumphant manner. Within the last six months, however, her bodily health has failed very rapidly; and, as is often the case in similar circumstances, as her physical strength declined her mind recovered its tone, cleared and setâ€" tled. From time to time she has dropâ€" ped words that, put together, have reâ€" vealed to me the fact of her theft of the child. But she refuses to give me any connocted account of the crime, and inquires piteously for Mrs. Hunter. _ I am convinced that from some idiosynâ€" crasy or other, she finds herself unable to confess to any but Mrs. Hunter. Within the last month she has failed so rapidly as to make it certain her death is near. I dreaded it would take place before your arrival. Toâ€"night, one of my young students, happening to be walking with me in the lobby near the door, chanced to speak of your arrival, and of the crowd that had gathered to receive you. She heard the news, and became so excited that I was obliged to adminâ€" ister powerful sedatives. _ She prayed that Mrs. Hunter might be brought to her. And, sir, it is for that purpose that I left her to come to you, late as it is, fatigued as you are; for I do not think the wretched invalia has many : hours to live." "Assuredly, sir. This woman, Norah O‘Leary, has been an inm{te of the asyâ€" lum under my charge for the last fifteen years. At intervals she has returns of reason, but never for a sufficient length of time to warrant her discharge. _ I always imagined that there was remorse, "I beg you, sir, to inform me how you came by the knowledge of the facts you have just imparted %o me, that I may . be t,{w better able to judge of them." All selfâ€"restraint, all composure, was gone now! Daniel Hunter started up and seized both hands of the doctor, and gazed in his face in a very agony of speechless inquiry. And when he found his “voice, he asked, Euskily: h Daniel Hunter threw himself into his chair, and, having completely mastered his emotion, said: "Btolen? \Where is she now?! Does she live? and how? where? Oh, Augusâ€" tal oh, my wife!

Yes, reâ€" joice! ha! ha! ha! Penitence! and with that man in the room! Take him ‘out! Take him out!

The doctor made way for her and retired. The lady bent over the dying woman. But the poor wretch looked up at her with an expression in which diabolical malice still struggled with remorse and fear and compassion, until the countenance grew frenzied. The lady laid her calming hand, and fixed her pitying eyes upon the patient, and said, in her sweet, gentle voice: "Norah, if you have anything to say to me, say it now. You will have peace when you have said it." But it was too late. (Norah had seen and recognized the lady at the foot of her bed.

On one occasion a Bishop who prided himself on never forgetting either the name or face of any clergyman in his diocese happened to be traveling someâ€" where by nfi wh:n. at a certain station, a clergyman got into the same carriage in which the Bishop was. Unfortunately that front door closed. Perâ€" hane wieked little Gladys pushed it. Perâ€" haps she deserved to be scoldedâ€"but she had such pleading eyes! No compunctions lingered in his mind about leaving the Maeterlinck question unâ€" gettled. Macterlinck deserved all ho got, and more. For fifteen uncomfortable mimutes he hid kept Clarence or the rack. What did Clarence care for the Belgian playwright, anvhow?

Gladys was expanding in his brain to heroic proportions. Diana suddenâ€" ly remembered that they had wandered from the topic. ‘‘We were discussing Maeterlinck, I believe," she recollected.

Oh, that look! ‘‘Where the past saw beauty in repose we now see beauty in action." "Art you following me ?" asked Diana, somewhat sharply. ‘‘I don‘t altogether deny," said Clarence rather confusedly, ‘"that primary colors are bad orâ€"erâ€"erâ€"that is to say, unattractive.

His mind and eye were now beginning to wander Gladreward. ‘‘Why, do you know," continued Diana, ‘"even primary colors are beginning to have &A vogue among intellectual people ?" "Give me American Beauties nestling in lustrous dark hair," thought Clarence just then. ‘"If ever any girl ever looked emiâ€" nently kissableâ€"â€"* The agony was awful.
