It was noticeable that while the la
dies became more confidential with
| their lovers, they had less to say to
each other, and it became evident
to the real widow that the play
must soon end for the present, or
the denouement would come prema-
turely. Circumstances favored her
determination. One night Clemen-
tine, with radiant face, came into
her friends room and said: "Fan,
I have something to tell you. Cleve
has asked me to marry him."
"Now. Clement, you have told
him all; I know you have"
"Not word, Fan; he still be-
lieves me the widow Clare"
"Dld you accept him?"
"Conditionally. I am to give
him a final answer when we 60 to

"John il noble fellow. I pre-

81 wish Cleve had been more e1-
plicit about his money affairs. How
ever, there is time enough yet.
When they leave tomorrow, what

eve will remain here another
month; Levine will have the house
ready for me by that time. I have
written to him about refurnishing
the parlors."
So next day the lovers parted,
with many promises of constant let
tiers and future happy days together.
The interval was long and dull
enough; but it passed, and one
morning both gentlemen received
notes of invitation to the widow
Clare's mansion, in street.
Scarcely had they entered the
drawing room when the ladies' ap-
peared, the true widow Clare wear
ing a magnificent dress of white
crepe lisse and satin, her arms and
throat and pretty head flashing with
diamonds. Her companion had
assumed the role of simplicity, and
Cleve was disappointed with the
first glance at her plain white gauze
dress.
John saw nothing but the bright
face of the girl he loved, and taking
both her hands, he whispered, "My
dearest and best and loveliest Glenn
emit"
Her smile answered him first.
Then she said: Pardon me, Mr..
Selden, but we have been in mas
querade all summer, and now we
must unmask before real life be-
gins. My name is not Clementine

The plan SO hastily sketched was
thoroughly discussed ana carried
out. The cottage at Ryebank was
taken. The new widow Glare had
engaged maid in New York. and
fell into her part with charming
ease and a pretty assumption of
authority; and the real widow real
lied effectively the idea of a cult

John, I hope you are not disap-
pointed" Then she put her hand
into Johns, and they wandered off
into the conservatory to finish their
explanation.
Mr.. Cleve Sullivan found himself
at that moment in the most trying
circumstance of his life. The real
Clementine Marat stood looking
down at q flower on the carpet, and
evidently expected him to assume
the tender attitude he had been &C.
customed to bear toward her. He
was man of quick decision. This
plain blonde girl, without fortune,
was not the girl he could marry.
She had deceived him, too--he had
q sudden and severe spell of moral
ity; "his confidence was broken; he
thought it was very poor sport to
play with mans most sacred feel
ings; he had been deeply disap-
pointed and grieved," etc.
Have you done, sir" at length
she asked, lifting to his face a pair
of blue eyes scintillating with scorn
and anger. II promised you my
final answer to your suit when we
met in New York. You have spared
me the trouble. Good evening. sir. !"
Clementine showed to no one her
disappointment. and she probably
soon recovered from it. Her life
was full of many other plans and
hopes, and she could well afford to
let selfish lover pass out of it.
She remained with her friend until
after her marriage with John Sell
den, and then Cleve saw her name
among the list of passengers sailing
on one particular day for Europe.
As John and his bride left on the
same steamer. Cleve supposed. of
course, she had gone in their COM
pany.
"Nice thing it would have been,
for Cleve Sullivan to have married
John Selden's wife's maid, or some
thing or other. John always was q
lucky fellow. Some fellows are al
ways unlucky in love nfairs-I al
ways am"
Half a year afterward he reiter-
ated this statement, with q great
deal of unnecessary emphasis. He
was just buttoning his gloves pre-
paratory to starting on his after
moons drive, when an old acquaint-
ance hailed him.
"Oh, it's that fool Belmar," he
muttered; 81 shall have to offer him

Mention has been made of the fact that the
Baltimore plano manufacturing firm of VIM.
Knabe d Co. have established an agency in Lon
don in connection with the great musical house
OF Metzler Il Co., for the purpose of introducing
their instruments into Great Britain and making
them as popular in the old country as they are
on this side of the Atlantic The enterprise has
been very successful. Agreat many of the Knabe
pianos have been shipped to London, and their
reception by leading musical artists there has
been tlattering in the highest degree. Sir Julius
Benedict, Brinsley Richards, Sidney Smith,
Wihel IN Cans, and Others as wel-knOwn, after
critical tests, have honored the Knabe pianos
with the most apprecative testimonials In
fact, the Knabe Baltimore-made pianoes seem
to have completely captivated the London mu-
steal public. The London Mo,ni,iq Post of Jan.
uary 18th, in its criticism of the ST. James Hall
concert says: MADAME Frickenhaus obtained
quite triumph with the Knabe piano. The
instrument, which has great charm and fullness
oftone, lent itself admirably to the performance,
which for vigor of expression and deicacy of
color has not often been surpassed here. The
audience was carried away by sympathy with
the music, which mere brilliancy ofmanipnlation
does not always succeed in inspirinpn The

of "the great power and adaptability for large
