While Postmaster Villas is enjoying
rest at his Wisconsin home the politi.
cal gossips at Saratoga are arranging to
have him retired from the cabinet. 1t is
given out in sensational form that Villas
ls to be sent to Austria as minister,
that Postmaster Pearson, of New York,
is to be made postmaster general and
that a Brooklyn democrat is to be post.
master of New York. The entire slate is
arranged and tie vacancies filled in adj
vance. 1t is apparent that General
Villas is not adapted to the position he
now holds and that its duties are dis
tasteful to him. By training, tempera-
ment and education he is much better
fitted to maintain the quiet dignity OF q
foreign position of honor than to face
the unending olamor for place which
fills his Washington Office. So there
may be something in the rumors.

CHAPTER XII.

1t so happened en- the night of Curlv's
debut that there was produced at Covent
Garden theatre rev sensational drama,
with real waterfall, real elephants, and
real horses.
At the Haymarket there was new ccm-
eiy. and as at that time critics were scarce
and penny papers We're not in being, the
mere debut of provincial coined ian in an
Old comedy escaped notice, and therefore
there was no public mention of the scene

Poor GIRL She hal meant it for a peace
offering, believing ir her inmost heart that
Curly would accept it release from a
promise which she felt convinced had been
as UNANIMOUSLY extorted as it had been un-
willingly given. She timed the arrival of
the parcel to take place on the occasion of
his opening in town, hoping, in the inno-
cence of her heart. to lend additional sig
niticance to this token of her forgiveness
She ordered all the London papers. expect

showed the papers to Jameson. He was as
disappointed as herself.

change his mind on the subject. Standing
still, he glared into tho stage box to his

was no mistake about that. But Doricourt
seemed to be under the impression that some
one was there, for he began to apostrophise

CHAPTER XII.


Meanwhile Curly was busy with his re-
hearsals in town. At length came the
night of his debut. All through ths early
portion of the play he IMPRESSED the audience
most favorably, and each succeeding act
ontirmed the impression. The minuet in
the masquerade scene was danced by him
with such supple elegance that he completed
his conquest of the capricious public The
aides were in raptures with the new come
dian, and even the men were unwillingly
novel to admiration. The debutant's sue
cess was assured-a brilliant future Law be-.
fore him.
When lie returned TO tits room TO make his
change for the last act large parcel lay
upon his dressing table. He motioned tho
dresser to unpack it. When he had finished
changing he looked at the contents OF the
parcel. There was quantity OF fresh
flowers, and a letter directed ia the hand he
knew so well. His heart stood still for q
moment; then he took courage. There
would be a few kind words, perhaps; some
thing to give him heart Of grace. He
to1e open the envelope, and stood for a
moment like man transformed to stone.
Traced in characters of fra he saw the
fatal words:
"ihesc presents are to attest that Flora
