Julia instantly tainted, and when she recovered,
Miss Bijouton was given to understand that her
| mysterious admrer could be no other than her
| friend husband
40, the monster - exclaimed Miss Biiouton,
and she determined to question the servant. Now
it happened that Lord Frederick had given his
man orders to endeavor to get into conversation
with the servants, and to let them wheede his
master name out of him, if they showed any anx-
iety to do so, for he anxious to be known
as the giver of the jewels to the beauty. When
therefore, the lady herself made inquiries of the
the man, and threw purse to the fellow to make
HIM more loquacious, the rogue made full con-
fession, and Lord Frederick Huntington was
acknowledged to be her admirer.
"Is not Lord Frederick married 81 inquired
Miss Biiouton.
"Married, mem Yes-thot is to say drawl
ed the coxconb, che did, believe, say few silly
words in church to certain lady, but--but there
was no union of hearts,
"Indeed p
'Positive.y,' continued the valet, "you see her
Iadyship is very tame, very la la ish i; she wants
thai-that je ne sacai quoi, which so eminently
distinguishes your ladyship, and which alone
can make Lord Frederick happy.
Miss Bijouton minated to the valet that he
might GO, and then returning to Julia, she laugh
ingly told her of the discovery that she had made.
Julia wept. But Miss Bijouton rallied her.
"Dcar me- said she, "if l had ran away with
your husband, you could not have looked more
deporable. Come, come, you are a dear good
soul, much better than ain, and quite as hand
some I'm sure. Take my advice and reform your
husband. You can do it, and you may be happy
"By what means p asked Julia
"Why, laughngly replied Miss Bjouton, fhe
man said that yon too tame, too la la ish
you wanted The Je ne Sact quol' winch IS ndes-
cribable, hut by which alone Lord Frederick can
be made happy Now you must show him
that you not tame that you are not ia
la-ish, and win the man back to your heart
and arms Wen shame him of his ridicu-
lous attachment to me, and all may end we'll"
Julia promised to abide by her friend instruc-
TONS they were soon given, and Julia departed,
On the following morning, Julia and her hus-
band met at the breakfast table. Lord Frederick
took up newspaper, and throwing his legs upon
one chair, while his body reposed in another, he
remained quite Indifferent to the presence of his
wife.
'sNho loved him better than all the world''
Though little he cared for her"
Nearly an hour passed in silence. CIVIL you
take another cup of chocolate :" at length inquir-
ed Julia. Lord Frederick replied in a dull, soul
less tone, and without taking his eyes off the
newspaper, "Yos-my dear "shall butter you
another muffin - "No-I thank you" "Ah .
sighed Julia inwardly, ga stranger would have
more of his attention. Then pause ensued.
Julia sat ntently watching her husband coun-

making variety of costly presents to beautiful
young lady, a M ISIS Bjouton, which you may have
heard of, and the newspapers have got hold of it,
and here is a lampoon on the poor devil, whoever
he is, headed, Tile TimM Lorer."
'What strange occurrence, said Julia.
ayes, is it not rejoined her husband.

''Has it upon married one %
AMY dear !"exclaimed Lord Frederick, alarm
ed by the tone of his wife. She continued with
out appearing to notice his emotion, ''The gentle
tleman must have strong reasons for remaining
concealed; and it is but fair inference that a
chain stronger than loves keeps him from the
ladys presence"
''You are tacetlous, my dear said his lordshp
evidently dsrelshing the conversation. "You
think that some unhappy Benedict, tired of do
mestic feclty, would like your little bird in the
cage there, be free as the air again
"Precsely and that rejecting the happiness
proflered him at home, he covets what never
