CHAPTER Y.
ATHOL HOUSE.

The morrows post brought Jameson a
| letter from Curly, de ,crlbng his imUrsS-
sions of London, OF the theatre the COM
panv, etc The general tone was elate AMI
| confident and he wound up by stating that
his debut wa, tiXel for the following Mon
day, aud that he was to open as Doriconrt.
At noon Jameson presented Himself at

1t was now in semi-darkness-the blinds
were all down The atmosphere was so
gloomy and depressing that he couldn't bear
it, so he pulled up the curtains and let in
the blessed sunshine, Looking through the
window he contemplated the wonderful pic
ture before him. The valley smiling at his
feet, where now the railway runs; to his
left the casl, and the castle gardens to his
right HolJr0ol and Arthur's seat. Nearer
stoo the Cation hill; little to the left of
that lay Leith with the blue firth Boy ond;
right in front Of him Princes street and
New Town.
The Abbottsford monument, which had
only recently sprang into existence, stood
forth conspicuous as it glittered in the sun
light. 1t was a glorious panorama. There
is no city in the world more beautiful than
bonnie Edinburgh; but he hal had ample
time to exI lore and admire its beauties
during the last fortnight, so presently he
turned away to look at the room. Rare
books lay on the table, few choice pictures
were on the walls, objects of art were SCAT
tered about in every direction. To his left,
catching the light from the opposite window,
stool painters easel, supporting a picture
covered by an Indian shawl. On two or
three stoos were palettes, coors, brushes
and other implements of the studio. His
curiosity was excited by the covered pic
ture, SO he stepped forward and removed
the shawl 1t dropped from his hands as he
exclaimed, "Curlyr The painting was not

der the shadow of a Misunderstanding, and
neither of them knew exactly how to begin.
She, of course, deemed herself wronged. At
one time she had made up her mini that
she never would, never could forgive Curly.
But after all she was woman. She was
alone in the word now, for her father had
been dead for some months She did not
even affect to bewail him, though in defer
ence to the prejudices of society she wore
mourning. She was now free to think and
act for herself. If Curly could only explain
the past, if
OF all her hopes and fears, of the terrible
trial through which she and her lover had
passed, Willie knew nothing. He only knew
that his friend had been cruelty wronged,
and then, as he imagined, treacherously
abandoned by the woman he loved. On the
other hand. it must be remembered that it
was she who had NEST reason to think her
self deserted and BETRAYED Besides, she
was in total ignorance of what had occurred
to Curly, or indeel what had become of him
since their parting. She had seen Willie's
name announced at the theatre, and she felt
convinced that if any man knew Curly's
whereabouts Willie Jameson was that man.

him to come AMI see her. He had accepted

Unusual Attractions.

The Management of the American Ex-
position at New Orleans are to be con
graduated upon the sagacity and wis
dom they are exhibiting in combining
with the attractions of the exposition
itself, some unusual features which can
not fail to be additional incentives to
the favor and patronage Of the public,
The Exposition proper has at this
time over forty acres Of space covered
and filed with exhibits. They alone
present almost irresistible inducements
for attendance, especially in view Of the
fact that it ID probably the last great

ry. But with the unusual attractions
provided by the management, our read
ers would certainly be derelict to their
own interests and pleasure if they fail
ed to attend.
The Spectacular Drama of the Inst
Days of Pompeii, which at it's introduc-
ton into this country the past summer
at Manhattan Beach created such uni
versal interest and excitement, has been
secured. A city of houses, streets, tenn
pies, ETC., faithful reproductions of POM

presentation, and several acres Of space
are utilized. The scenic display by the
