under the influence of this diet. the i'm

with the palpitations, also the congested
condition of the brain and lungs The

There was ball In progress at the

'Zara was there, in the highest spirits.
Her baby had been doscd with soothing
syrup, to keep it sleeping. and relieved
of cafe on its account, she was rushing

was waiting, painting, while her cavalier
was bringing her a goblet of water, when
manly form approached. He was clad
in blue, but his features were hid BY a
slouched hat drawn low down, and an
immense military overcoat, which he kept
over his face, as Claude Melnotte does in
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's justly cele-
brated play Of the Lady of Lyons.

The poor wretch looked with puzzled
expression at ner face, as beautiful as
ever, but which had in its Inca no love

had said to him n year before about her

rather astonisked him to have her ask
his name, and remark that she thought
she had seen him, but where she couldn't
