/ II had been hotter than ever during the
day; the moon was streaming on to the
broad graveled Plalz in front Of the Con-
I Fcntion-haus, and the band, stationed in
their little oil-amp illuminated kiosk
were rattling away Strauss waltzes aud
l.abizky's galops; and the gamblers were
thrOnging the roulette and trente-et-quarl
ante tables; and Of the non-g gamblers, al
such as had ladies with them, were pro-
menading and listening TO the music,
while the others were seated round the
little wooden tables drinking and smok
ing. At one OF these tables four men
were sitting, who merit particular notice
The little paper lantern, holding the cigar
Lighting candle, flares on the broad,
healthily-bronzed face (where, through
the thick-curling light beard, the face can
be seem Of Arthur Acton, formerly of the
Light Brigade, now swell, landed propri-
etor English gentleman. After the Cri-
mean campaign, Arthur cut soldering
and sold out. He is type Of bis class,
as you may perceive in his broad chest,
welI-knit figure well-shaped white hand,
with the massive signet-ring on the little
finger and the broad gold band on the
finger next to that; in his open throat, his
long white wristbands, bis evening dress
so degage yet so well-ft,ing, his perfect
boots, the easy, careless, unstuIied grace
of his attitude; big man, with the heart
of lion and the simplicity ofa child, who
had looked death in the face score OF
times, who had ridden into the Balakaya
charge as calmly as into Rotten Row, and
who would as soon have thought of de-
flaming his dead mother as of uttering
bost or lie Not a scholar, not purist
he had lived too much in camps and
barrackrooms for that; but keen, clear
headed man Of the world, as you may see
in his broad, open brow, over which the
short, light hair curls so crisply, in his
bright blue eyes, his frank face, his great
CHEEKY, honest laugh. Next to him, Jack
Harris, government clerk, wiry, dapper
little man, got up with scrupuous neat
ness, Jacks hair-dresscr tells him that
"his parting is thinning" which means
that Jack Is getting bald; but lac makes
up for that by an enormous pair Of whisk-
ers, that stick out like bair.brushes on
either side Of his little face. A great
scandamonger is Jack, with something
To say about everybody; an insane little
chalter-box, whom nobody could think Of
making his enemy orof cultiyatug as his
friend. On the other side of the table,
Eugene Blake, clever, hot-headed,
quick-tempered irishman, army surgeon
In regiment Of Austrian Uhlans, on
leave now, and staying with Arthur,
whose people had always been studiousiy
kind to him. Next TO him, and conclnd-
lug tae party, Sir Pierce Coyerdale, the
bcs. whist player at the Travellers Club,
au old dipomatisl who had studied afe
at the courts In Europe, and one Of the
knowingest hands In the world. Listen
to their conversation:
