the distinguishing characteristic of her
present encounter with DR.. LIE Roy. 1t
was great fun, no doubt, but it could
hardly be said to be dignifed. AS the
weeks slipped by, the fact grew to be an
established one among the other girls
that DR.. LIE Roy was Minna Storey's eX-
elusive property.
Eddie was wretched. Those women
are perhaps to be envicd who, in similar
situations, cultivate a gayety which, If
forced, at least serves as an escape-valv I've.
Eddie not only was wretched but looked
so. And George became irritated. He
actually was 1T last in the condition of
believing himself to be the aggrieved
party.
One evening, when Eddie hung over
the children unit! they were asleep,
grooming soft airs to them which always
! lulled them to rest soonest, she wandered
down stairs with the vague intention of
finding George and trying to dispel the
miserable cloud which had hung between
them now for so long. A wish to do so
had come into her heart as she kissed her
babies goodnight. She drifted down
the great sounding stairway, looking like
q pale ghost with her sad eyes and her
flowing white dress. She glanced out
on the different piazzas on her way; the
boarders were apt to walk and sit about
on these during the long evenings. But
she did not see her husband. She drifted
through the parlors, where there were
card playing, dancing. music.
Look at Mrs. LIE Roy. How beauti-
fui she iSm one person remarked.
"And how intensely unhappy! Poor
thing! What pity that any one with q
heart should have married George LIE
Roy!'
She stood in the open doorway and
looked up and down the piazza on which
opened the parlorS. All, ut last! George
was, seated with his back toward her, in
Il loGnging, negligent attitude. Facing
him, in an attitude equally negligent,
was Minna Storey, her dimpled Bac-
chante face upturned to his; her white
arms cleaning out of the falling rose
colored sleeves of her dress, and wreathed
with Roman pearls. Perhaps she was
posing for Lalla Rookh or some other
Oriental character to whom strands Of
pearls are appropriated in tableaur
rirdntS; at all events, her graceful head
was adorned to correspond with her
arms. She made slight movement at
the moment that Eddie appeared in the
doorway, with which her little white hand
fell against DR.. lie Roy's knee, and lay
there carelessly. Eddie's face contracted
as in pain She came forward. Minna
slightly changed her attitude, but with
no visible show of embarrassment,i

The graduating class Of tho Pough-
keepsie High School has refused TO al
low its single colored member to parti-
cipate in its annual celebration. And
yet no cry OF outrage has been raised
in tho North. f such nm indignity, well
says the Alexandria Gazette, had been
put upon n colored graduate in the
South, the Radical papers from one end
Of the North TO the other would have
tecmed with accounts OF it. and the ont
rage been held up as another refusal to
accept the results OF the war. In the
case referred to an outrage was perpe :
trated. for If the graduate was good
enough TO pass through oil the graduate
OF tho public schools of Poughkeepsie,
and to attain q position among the
graduating class of tho High School OF
that town. without objection on the part
Of her school associates, it was cruel
insult to exclude her. ut the last. from
the enjoyment Of the honors to which she
was as much entitled as those TO whom
they wero awarded. Circumstances
however, alter cases. and the difference
made by the ownership OF the gored OK
is as effective in the North as elsewhere.
Blood is thicker than water. & the hypo-
cracy ofthe North in denying that truth
has been exposed so frequently that
further attempts in tina; line are ridcu-
lOus.
