s1Julia gazed into.1is face eagerly and anxiously
and then said in voice which showed all the
anguish of her heart, tOh! she must---she must
win hiuisif she wishes it--she is so beautiful
so more than beautiful. But you-you-7what
do you mean that you speak thus?--are younot

most fanting--"Ifshe is free, shemust win him."

she is base, julia, and cold and deyen cruel, and
should itbe necessary, j shall reveal these to
Ansen. But it will not1be necessary--for lIO
knows her, even now, and sees her in her true
light. He could not help dancing with her, for
she asked him to do SO, and no gentleman can
refuse lady, dAnson.is only dazzled for a
moment by her beauty, as by that of fine stat

you, am certain; and if it were not, it were
better lost than won. But come, suppose we

dancers ceased from revolving in their giddy
rounds and Alice Maitland returned leaning on
her partners arm, all flashed and painting with
the excitement of the voluptuous dance. '.
But her cheek turned a little pale, as her eye
fell on the gentleman who wastalking to Julia
Arlington, for she had not observed that he was
in the room before, and she now read tale
which she liked not in his compressed lip and
contracted brow. She rallied, however, as she
joined them, and addressed him in her gay
sparkling manner, but he replied only by cool
courteous bow. .t'. tt+ -

Il care not straw what Julia Arlington or
Clarence Anson hear-what are they to mo?'
Clarence quietly withdrew the arm on which
.he had been leaning, and made her very cool
low bow, while Julia gazed on the strange scene
half incredulous with wide eyes of wonder. '
'And all this fuss is because danced the

"Not all of it, Alice Maitland. Though you

Of it. She brought it home a fortnight since,

But the severe lesson she had learned was
never to be forgotten by Alice Maitland, and

was broken off for tho, moment when he. saw
her changed and pcntent glrl, he forgot all her
