the honor and pleasure of explaining the
rich treasures of art that the glorious city
contained. Ah. Mons. D'Or.ey, was very
happy man in anticipation. and when the
time came for him to bia adieu to his
American friends, he fingered 90 long over
Ksse's clasped hand that she wac forced
to suddenly withdraw it from the admirers
grasp.
7 Rodney Yates only smiled and curled
his lip just in the smallest possible degree,
when Mons. D'Orley bid farewell to the
Talbots. Kate waved a last sdieu to the
Frenohm man, and then turned to Yates, re-
marking:
"Well, he is clever man, and very en-
tertaining."
"You haven't seen the monkeys at th.
Park?" suggested Yates.
Kate's face flushed, and an offended look
came to her eyes.
"l'm afraid | do not comprehend the
significance of your remark" she replied
"What do you mean?"
81 mean," replied Yates, nowise abash.
ed, "that he is not half so entertaining as
the Gagged monkeys, and by my faith, al
most doubt if he is more clever. Let me
tell you what saw the big yellow ape do
yesterday. You see -"
"That will do, sir?" replied Kate turn
ing away and cutting his remark short.
Yates gazed after her retreating figure,
and felt sorry he had offended her.
"She'll be more amiable tomorrow"
he sighed, as be walked away to the club
room.
Rodney Yates was correct. Kate Talbot
met him the following day with the glad
old smile he had been signing for all the
while Mons. D'Orley held her spellbound
by his eloqnence and vivid imagination.
"Well, Kate said Rodney, IN bis good
humorsa way. "shall We take canter to-
day?"
mo, think not" was the reply. "But
come in and Ill sing you such beautiful
song. Its new, yoa never heard it," and
she went to the piano followed By Yates.
Rodney fingered longer than usual that
morning in Mr.. Talbot's drawing, room, and
when he left he did not, as was his custom,
60 to the club house. There was an un.
easy look in his eyes, and he did not look
altogether happy. Kate had been telling
him of her intended visit to Europe. Her
father had consented to take her, and she
was OILY making up her mind when they
should start. This was not pleasant news
to Yates, but he concealed his disappoint-
msnt as best he could, and went to his
home to reflect upon his course of action.
lie loved Kate Talbot with a pure, steady
and earnest devotion, and though she had
never formally accepted him as lover, yet
it was commonly admitted among their
friends that Kate would be bis wife, by
and by.
A few days Letter and Kate informed him
that they would leave the following month.
"And l have come to say good by" ex-
claimed Yates.
Kate started, Tut was reassured, when
she saw Rodney smile.
"Ah! you arc jesting, | see," she
said.
"Indeed l am not he replied, ri sail
to morrow for Europe; my passage was en-
gagged several days ago."
"Oh that is capital " cried Miss Talbot,
clapping her hands with delight. ave
shall meet there, of course"
"Of COURSE" re echoed Yates, "tbat's
why I'm going"
"How provoking you are," said Kate
"Wby don't you wait and 60 in the same
vessel with us?''
"Why, to tell you the truth, l didn't
think you wanted me-" replied Yates, with
laugh.
Kate tossed her head with sausy air.
"Very we'll, sir" she replied, "perhaps it's
best as it is. Well meet in Paris, and see
tbatyc behave yourself--or may hear of
you-good BY"
Rodney Yates had been in Paris three
weeks when Mr., Talbot and Kate arrived.
1t was tie month of july ever afterward
memorable IN French history. Charles X
then sat uneasilv upon bis throne, for the
discomfort of the people had been manifest
ing itself ever since be had become their
sovereign.
Rodney had never seen D'Orley since he
parted from him in America, but DO sooner
had the Talbots got into their hotel, than
the gay and entertaining Frenchman sought
them out and renewed his acquaintance.
But the poor fellow was not able to make
good his promises of showing Kate the
glory and wonders of Paris. She was to
behold that without the assistance of any
one. D'Orley was forced to admit that the
times looked gluomy and nothing Ike pleas
ure could be thought of just at that mo-
ment.
"But we shall quiet the people by AID by,
be said; "theE We will renew our festi-
vity."
D'Orley was a rank royalist, and when
he used the pronoun Eve" he spoke of the
royalist party.
~ am Republican. Monsieur" replied
Kate with smile, ''and though know
nothing of politics, always sympathize
With the people"
"Ah! yes" answered D 'Qrle-, "but then
you preceive the republioanism of France
is very different from that of America 1t
is not to be tolerated here. 1t means with
ur, misrule, bloodshed and anarchy.
Mademoiselle be rovalist."
Kane shook her pretty head and smiled
