There are sharks of that sort in every station of life, and the hunâ€" griest of them are those who swim in the highest waters. If Rupert had had any thoughts of l".“:h mode of life, these parasites would have found a thousand alluring reasons for not doing so. They led him from capital to capital over the contiâ€" nent, and they showed him all there was to be seen of a certain side of life; 10 that in the course of a year he might hbe said to be a past master in the whole uh! of diuiy.tio-‘. 5. 8 C So he went to the continent, and took with him the reptuation of a very ,ni*. ed young nobleman; a reputation which he took no very serious pains to change in his new life. "No, 1 will not say anything," he reâ€" plied; "but it is for the sake of the great principle of royalty, and not for vour sake." "A word from you," he said, indigâ€" nnudy. "would have prevented this, but you did not see fit to say it, and I am bearing the burden of your dishonor." "It will soon blow over," said the prince, miserably. "Blow over!" retorted Rupert, scornâ€" fully. "And that is all you think of. You do not deserve that I should keep gilence. You think so little of dishonâ€" ort" "But you will not say anyth cried the abject prince. Rupert tossed his hand with a ture of disgust. Te the world Aubrey maintained a contemptuous silence; but he did free his mind to the chief cause of his selfâ€" expatriation before he took leave of his native shores. But most peofile thought he was very wise to go to the continent, as he did, to there await the benevolent forgetfulâ€" ness to which misdeeds in high life are mereifully treated. ‘The part of the royal libertine was carefully glosud over, and the burden of the wiole miserable business fell on the broad shoulders of Lord Aubrey; and there it rested, in spite of what was privately said in his behalf by a few who pretended to know Rupert. "Aubrey," said they, "might do any wild and reckless thing, but a disgraceâ€" ful thingâ€"never," _ Rupert remembered the saying, which he had thought horribly bad form at the time, but which had struck him with peculiar pertinency when later there came an exposure of the do:r of his set. It was one of those scandalous afâ€" fairs with which the blood royal is mixâ€" «d up once in a while, "True enouih," the older man had responded, with a shrug; "but don‘t forâ€" get that when a prince of the blood dances, somebody clse always pays the fiddler." "Be careful, Aubrey! You‘re in risky company," he had said. Rupert had smiled, scornfully. "A prince of the blood should be good eu‘greompany for even a Cecil," he had answered. It happened in this way: One of the | members of the particulur{y wild set to which he young Lord Aubrey belonged was very nearto the throme. One of the elder Cecils, a cousin of Rupert, had' ventuted & little advice. I Finally the climax came. At least people n{muvd their shoulders and lookâ€" ed askance at each other when his name was mentioned; and they said it was the climax. As a matter of fact it was only a stage in his career; and although the girls only whispered his name when they spoke of it among themselves, the mothers certainly found him no less deâ€" sirable as a sonâ€"inâ€"law. "When he returns from the continent," they said to themselves, "he may be willing to settle down." arms to him, he made it with a plunge that gave some ground to the pr«s'iction that he had been governed so long by his mothez that he had no selfâ€"government at all, and would end by making historie ducks and drakes of the enormous forâ€" tune that had been amassed for him. 118 bad men. m his last year at Oxford his mother died.

Within a year his university career was forgotten, or remembered as someâ€" thing incredible; for when he made his entry into the wild set that opened its No one could say that he ever did anything dishonorable, himself; but some of his companions were of a sort usually avoided by a man who values his reputaâ€" tion. But that was not to be wonzond at, since the only qualification he reâ€" quired in his companions was that they be "good fellows." "Good fellows" are Love he laughed at, when he thought of it, which was not very often; sef the most careful angling of the most skilled fishers in the matrimonial waters never secured from him so much as a nibble. A very debonair young nobleman was Lord Aubrey; handsome as a Greek god, with the careless grace of Antanous, something of the vigor of Achilles, and with all the reckless enthusiasm _ for pleasure that Bacchus might be supposed to have had. As a mailter of fact, Rupert was still sowing his wild oats while the dowagers were whispering his name among themâ€" selves, and while the old fellows, who had all been through the same course, were shaking their heads and prophnyln’ that there would be very little left of the enormous estates by the time young Auâ€" brey was done with his wild oats. A great deal of nonsense is talked about wild oats, however; and perhaps the real truth is that the wor‘: does not so much care how large a crop a oung man sows, as how large a crop he {m& But would his life have been better or worse* ‘There were those who said it had been so bad that it could not well :d'o::e; ::d there were others wh? id that the especially large crop 0 wild gats he had sown '3.. no more than the natural reaction from a foolish woâ€" mun‘s restrictions, and that he would make all the better man in the end. CHAPTER 1. Rupert Cecil, Earl of Aubrey, had been brought up, so to speak, by his mother, aad perhaps his life would have been v:tJ different but for the peculiar faults and virtues which seem to be inseparâ€" able from a woman‘s guidance of a boy‘s life into manhood.

"The daughter is prtâ€" He kicked a stone, and watched it bound from rock to rock, and finally lose itself in a wooded ravine. He turned, as he finished his soliloquy, and sauntered down the mountain. Near the inn he met and passed two ladies, to whom he courteously but indifferently lifted his bat. Lord Aubrey, meanwhile, had been wandering over the mountain _ side, tempted there by the outlook from his balcony. "A lovely spot!" he cJaculated once, as he stood on a great, juttinfi rock and had a view of the ,)retty little valâ€" ley at his feet, and of the mountains stietching far away in the distance. " 1 wonder what possessed Hawkhurst to think of such a place! He is as much out of harmony with _ such _ peaceful things as I am with myself." "Poor little stone!" he muttered. "It had a gay time of it for a while, leaping and flying through the air, all bright and glistening with the sunshine on it; and then lost in the darkness of the woods, perhaps never to see the sunshine again, but to lie where it has fallen and grow green with moss. Ah, well!l it may be that if the little stone could go on endlessly leaping and bounding, and glistening in the bright _ sunshine, it would grow very vur{ of <it all. 1t i know anything about it, the little stone would." "And the girl?" "Take her on faith, too. When Cloâ€" thilde suggested the plan, and said her Lucie was just the one to carry it out, I knew that it was just as she said. Wait! gu shall see her this evening, 1 do not doubt. I am doubly glad Vernon is going." , "Done! in guineas," responded Hawkâ€" hurst. |\ _ Out came their noteâ€"books, and the | bet was booked. "How will you find out?"* demanded | Sir Charles. "Your luek is good," said Siz Charles, with the ghost of a sneer on his lip; for he believed that his friend had been sure of the arrival before betting. "But 1 shall not quarrel with that now, if it only continues good. I am not so hopeâ€" ful as you,. You know that Aubrey has always been so cold toward women when it came to a matter of real passion." "Trust me, and above all,'trmt'(}lo- thilde," said Hawkhurst, with easy confiâ€" "You see," said Hawkhurst, when the landlord had left them, "Clothilde is here, and the guinea is mine." "You are enthusiastic," _ said Hawkâ€" hurst, casting a glance at Loftus, "What is the name of the divinity ?" "Her mother is the Marquise de Senâ€" ac," replied the landlord, proudly, for he felt the honor of such high rank. "But your are wrong, milor," cried the landlord, in trinmph. "They are ladies, and one of them is more beautiful than words can tell." _ "Men, of courset" said Hawkhurst. "No hope of any ladies coming at this season." "Yes; only two arrived since your party, milor." o "None, milor," answered the host, ob nquioual{. "Bad time for travellers, I supposet‘ said Hawkhurst. "Ask the landlord.

"Vernon is good enough at plain pluckâ€" in* of pigeons, but when it comes to the delicate work we have in hand, he is too clumsy." "I suppose they‘ll come?" queried Sir Ch}_rles, a little nervously. _ 4 "Don‘t make any mistake, Loftus," drawled the Honorable Reginald; "Auâ€" brey has got the habit fo kicking over the traces, and nothing on earth will eurb him, For my part, I‘m not going to _ waste _ any _ more _ time _ on hino.

Of course, they were all honorable men, and had never failed to pay a gambling debt; but their notions of what was due to the other sex had never agreed with his; and during their life abroad, when he had necessarily seen more of them than before, he had had occasion to first remonstrate, and then to indifnantly threaten them with separation, if they did not mend their ways. The relations between them, while they _ were at the hotel in the Tyrol, were, in fact, severely strained, and, as Lord Hawkshurst frankly said, under his breath, to the others: c "He‘s taken the bit in his teeth, and he won‘t be controleld any longer." _ He got up frowm the easy chair he had be_el_l lounging in, and went l}zfly_ Aolf. f "Or thinks he won‘t," sneered _ Sir he won‘t be controlled any longer." _ dlnfecnenu with his three friends; which disagreements had been mostly of his own making, since in the nature of things they were not what the three parasites wished for, If they all found it so unsuitable & place for them, why bad they come there? It was a thing Rupert, at least, could not have told. His dislike might might have been because the gimurel he had been indulging in had begun to pall upon him. 1t might have been, in addition, because he had had several "Dused slow!" was what Aubrey callâ€" ed it; though he found himself drinkâ€" ing in the pure, bncinqblir from one of the upper balconies, with a great deal of enjoyment, 7 "A beastly place!"

I‘l take you at ten to one," said Lof CHAPTER II it. "Well," cried the marquise, impatient ly, "has my lord taken fire?t" _ s _"At the beauty of your Lucie?t No; and yet she is lovely enough to turn any man‘s head. But he has bittenâ€"snapâ€" ped, I should say, at the bait, and is eager to play Don Quixote, and do anyâ€" thing to rescue the shy, timid little beauty from tho wiles of my wicked self. You can depend on Lucile?" "As on myself." "And you will be ready on time?t" "We are ready now." "You have made me a part of it," reâ€" plied Aubrey, haughtily, "and I shall reâ€" main to help that poor girl, if need be." "I should suppose," said the other, with another sneer, "that the marquise would be equal to watching over her daughter." "She ought to be, and I hope she is u<rea§y. as she is able," replied the carl. Lord Hawkshurst shrugged his shoulâ€" ders, and the conversation ended. That same evening there was a meeting beâ€" tween the marquise and Hawkshurst in the corridor, while Sir Charles was keepâ€" ing guard over Aubrey. “\g'ell," cried the marquise. impatientâ€" "The world is large, Lord Aubrey," said Hawkshurst, coolly; "you are not forced to remain here if you object to what is going on." "I am not seeking a quarrel with you or any one else, my lord," was the anâ€" awer; "but I do assure you that I shall never shirk one when it seems to me necessary "I don‘t see it either," replied Aubrey; "but I am gatisfied that I am being given a concern in it that I repudiate. I am not yet the adept in vice that you sre, and I cannot guess whither you are tendâ€" ing in this matter; but I am not so blind as not to see that I am being used. And I warn you, Lord Hawkhurst, that I will hold you to a strict accountability for any part you foree me to â€"play." _ "It looks to me," said Hawkhurst, with an evil sneer, "as if you were seekâ€" ing a quarrel with me." ES "I don‘t see," retorted Hawkhurst, eoolly, "that you have any concern in this matter." The young nobleman was hardly equal to answering a sneer of that sort, and it made him the more furious to be aware of the fact. "I don‘t understand your game," ansâ€" wered Aubrey, hotly; "but I do not hesâ€" itate to say that it looks uncommonly like sometbmg infamous." "It seems to me," retorted the other, "that it is I who ought to have an exâ€" planation. Why need you have interâ€" fered with my game." < "Oh!" sneered Hawkshurst, "your virâ€" tue is troubling you again." _ i you." f & "Yes," replied the earl, "it is I and I wish an explanation.‘ Now that a rupture was imminent, perhaps it was no more than natural that Aubroy should feel. more unpleasant toward him than toward either of the other companions who had done so much to make vice palatable to him. He approached Hawkshurst, _ therefore, with more anger in his heart than the incident of the evening seemed to justify. When the two ladies left the parlor, which they did leave before long, Aubrey sought HMawkshurst, who was smoking a cigar in the moonlight. _ Hawkshurst, who was by far the cleverest of the noble parasites which had attached themâ€" selves to the careless young nobleman, had for a long time maintained a powâ€" erful ascendency over the latter. A little later she excused herself to &ir Charles, and joined Aubrey and the timid Lucie, who seemed greatly relievâ€" ed by her coming. Aubrey was both inâ€" dignant and piqued by the evident fear Lucle had of him; for she was beautiful enough to make him wish to stand well with her, Moreover, no man likes to feel that he is disliked, without knowing the cause, With him to decide was to do, and he rather uncermoniously left _ the marâ€" quise to be entertained by Sir Charles, while he walked over to the other couâ€" plo. Hawkshurst greeted him with a scarcely concealed scowl, while Lucie noticed his presence only by a timid glance and a quick dropping of _ her long lashes over her great brown eyes. Hawkshurst was plainly put out by the interruption, and after a short time sulkily rose and left the earl with Lucie. Aubrey saw him cross over to the marâ€" quise and ejaculate something an an angry manner, and then leave the rom. The marquise first looked troubled, and afterward shrugged her shoulders, as if an unavoidable thing had happened. "I will interfere," he said, emphaticalâ€" ly, to himself; "and later I will have an explanation with Hawkshurst." He studied the beautiful face of Lucie, and was pained to see how hopelessly she glanced now and again at him or at Bir Charles, as if realizing that they were both of the same stamp as the man whose attentions, sanctioned by her nu])‘t.her, were yet so obnmoxious to herâ€" self, "It is plain," he thought, "that I am to be made to serve some purpose in the aftair, or I should not have been broufilx:lt here, But what can be Hawkshurst‘s inâ€" tentions? That beautiful girl is a lady, and, moreover, her mother would surely uot countenance any wrong to her. Can Hawkeshurst be thinking of marriage. An odd way to go about it, even with & French girl." Aubrey was dimly conscious that he was being mixed up in an affair that would be not at all to his liking. The hardâ€"faced marquise and _ Hawkshurst were so e\'idendy in collusion, in some plan which had the beautiful Lucie for its object, that the earl found himself growing indignantly restive in the conâ€" templation of the scene. The marquise attached _ herself at once to Aubrey, and Hawkshurst devotâ€" ¢1 himself to the daughter in his bold, insolent way. Lucie seemed in despair, but was apparently at a complete loss to know how to avoid attentions which were plainly distasteful to her. _ _ _ Aubrey noticed at once that the moâ€" ther, the Marquise de Senac, seemed reâ€" joiced, but hardly surprised, to meet Hawkshurst, but that Lucie was _ both au'r‘Rrised and annoyed. * ts "Oh 1 That evening, after Vernon was gone the ladies were imet in the parlor, and giter a show of great surprise, Hawks hurst greeted them, and then presente Lord Aubréy and Sir Charles.
