now live in palatial residence in Princes
Gate. Ex-Minister Phelps was a constant
visitor and through him the necessary 1n-
Productions into aristocratic society were OBJ
tanned. Soon the name OF Bonynge was
on every tongue, and there was not a work
of charity to which the Bonynges did not
subscribe most literally.
The result was that the mother and
daughters were very shortly presented to
Queen Victoria at one of Her Majesty 5
drawing rooms. Here was q social victory
enough to create unknown quantities of fjeal-
ousy. Mr.. Bonynge became renowned for
good dinners and his wife was described as a
most charming hostess.
THE TONGUE OF ENVY.
Miss Virginia was an acknowledged
belle and much sought after both on ac-
count of her beauty and her fathers mill
IONS, and all went swimningly until mali
cious tongues went a-vagging with the view
OF belittling the Bonynge pedigree.
Through all this Mr.. Bonynge has looked
on serenely. He is quite philosopher and
feels satified that whatever is said about his
successful struggle with fortune is simply
the outcome of deep-rooted envy and mall
ice. He says that his daughters are not
hunting after princes, dukes or lords, and
that although they will both have large
fortunes neither young lady has yet lost
her head.
Mr.. Bonyuge's acquaintances say that his
cable enterprise will soon be reality.

cloth tightly around the bust under the
arms, leaving the shoulders and neck bare,
and the opening folds of the dress are at the
front. The barefooted beauties have from
infancy been taught to walk in such a way
that they naturally kick the dress inward
with the heels as they go along, and thus
avoid any exposure of person. The higher
classes of women have a short silk or cotton
sacque which covers the shoulders and arms,
and the better class wear the brightest of

Their gowns are wound about the waist and

wear bright handkerchief tied around the
head, and inside of this is put up their long
hair. Both classes wear their hair long and

''He shall see his trouble there, and, by the
Lord Harry, just when he's feeling properly
sorry for himself he shall throw back his
head and laugh-as she is laughing. I've

quid and over for luck. Cover the pict-
ure."
He was asleep in the long chair, his face
white and haggard, almost before he had
finished the sentence. Bessie tried to take
Torpenhow's hand. "Aren't you never 60
ing to speak to me any more?"" she said; but
Torpenhow was looking at Dick
What stock of vanity the man has !
I'll take him in hand to-morrow and make
much of him. He deserves it-Eh, what
was that, Bess?"
Nothing. I'll put things tidy here lit
tie, and then I'll go. You couldn't give me
that three months pay now, could you? He
said you were to"
Torpenhow gave her a check and went to
his own rooms Bessie faithfully tidied up
the studio, set the door al jar for flight,
emptied half a bottle of turpentine on
duster, and began to scrub the face of the
Melancolia viciously. The paint did not
smudge quickly enough. She took palette
knife and scraped. following each stroke
with the wet duster. In five minutes the
picture was formless, SCARED muddle. of
colors. She threw the paint-stained duster
into the studio stove stuck out her tongue
at the sleeper, and whispered, "Bilked!" as
she turned to run down the staircase. She
would never see Torpenhow any more, but
she had at least done harm to the man who
had come between her and her desire and
who used to make fun of her. Cashing the
check was the very cream of the Jest to
Bessie. Then the little privateer sailed
across the Thames. to be swallowed up in
the gray wilderness of outh.the-water.
Dick slept till late into the evening, when
Torpenhow dragged him off to bed. His
eyes were as bright as his voice was hoarse.
"Let's have another look at the picture" he
said, as insistently as child.
'You-go-to-bed," said Torpenhow.
''You aren't at all well, though you mayn't
know it. You're as jumpy as a cat"

As he repassed through the sudio, Tor
penhow lifted the cloth above the picture,
and almost betrayed himself by outcries |:

If Dick knows this tonight he'll go per-
fectly mad. He's on the verge of jumps as
it is. That's Bess-the little fend /! Only
woman could have done that-with the ink
not dry on the check, too Dick will be

steadily as Dick.
SIS il you?" said Torpenhow.
"All that's left of me. Sit down. Binkie's
quite we'll. and I've been doing some good
work He reeled where he stood.
You've done some of the worst work
you've ever done in your life. Man alive,
You're-"
Torpenhow turned to his companions ap-
pealinglv, and they left the room to find
lunch elsewhere. Then he spoke; but, since
the reproof of a friend is much too sacred
and intimate thing TO be printed, and since
Torpenhow used figures and metaphors
which were unseemly, and contempt un-
transatable, it will never be known what
was actually said TO Dick, who blinked and
winked and picked at his hands. After a
time the culp prit began to feel the need OF a
little selfrespect. He was quite sure that
he had not in any way departed from virtue,
and there were reasons, too, of which Tor
penhow knew nothing. He would explain.
He rose. tried to straighten his shoulders,
and spoke to the face he could hardly see.
You are right" he said. But L am
right, loo. After you went away I had
some trouble with nv eyes. So went to
an oculist, and he turned a gasogene-I
mean a gas engine-into 1y eye. That was
very long ago. He said, Scar on the head
sword cut and optic nerve Make a note
OF that. So am going blind. 1 haYe some
work 10 do before go blind, and 1 suppose
that l must do it. 1 cannot see much now,
but can see best when I am drunk. 1 did
not know was drunk till 1 was told, but L
must go on with my work. II you want to
see it, there it is" He pointed to the all
but completed MelancolIs and looked for
applause.
1orpenhow said nothing, and Dick began
to Whimper feebly, Tor JOY at seeing Torpen-
how again, for grief at misdeeds-if, indeed,
they were misdeeds-that made Torpenhow
remote ana unsympathetic,-and for childish
vanity hurt since Torpenhow had not given
q word of praise to his wonderful picture.
Bessie looked through the kevhole alter a
long pause, and saw the two walking up a2d
