IN WHAT GU1sE pEIIvERANcE CAME TO HER

What became of Mr.. Vinal Beatrix
never ascertained; she forgot about him
for several minutes and when she looked
round for him he was gone. Meanwhile
Jocelyn introduced his companion to her
as ''Gen. lingo, gentleman interested
in music" and Mr.. Randolph was ex-
tracted from his retreat, into which he
had withdrawn under the impression
that more duns were after him, and was
likewise made partaker of the generals
acquaintance. The latter appeared in
quite different light from that in which
we first encountered him. He had moi
only been assiduously instructed by
Jocelyn as to the behavior he should put
on, but the fresh country air and scenery
and the tendency which all persons who
live in some measure by luck have to
hope for fortunate turn in their affairs
had combined to put him in a genial
and optimistic frame of mind. AS con-
trast to the gloom in which they had
lived of late this sunny mood of the gen.
erals seemed even more paradisiacal
than would havebeen the case at more
CuCCIIul LIS JOhco o1lIo SOLAiOo,Ai-
ties had an arch charm to the ears and
eyes of Mr.. Randolph and his daugh-
ter that would have perplexed the manu-
facturer of them.
A feeling of security and pleasant
promise diffused itself in the air, though
as yet there wac no known foundation
for it. 1t was o'clock in the after
noon and dinner was over, but in con-
sideration of the city habits of the guests
preparations were made for one of those
high teas which combine the best feat
ures of all meals. In the meantime the
old ex-Virginian rummaged out a bottle
of claret (Which the general secretly
wished had been whisky, and proceeded
to dispense it with something of the
courtly air that had belonged to him b.
fore misfortune and misanthropy had
marked him for their own. But his
hospitality was tempered by haunting
suspense. What was the general, and
what did he intend? Evidently he must
have had a purpose of no ordinary
urgency to bring him all the way from
New York city hither. His smiling
bearing forbade the supposition that the
purpose could be a hostile one, but why
and in what way should it be friendlyl
1t was only by an heroic effort that Mr..
Randolph subdued the evidence of his
