do you know any noun CORES pond
ing to the adjective ''handsome p
one does not like to say tbeauty"
when speaking of man. He is
handsome enough heaven knows;
should not even care to trust you with
him-faithfullest of I'll possible wives
that you are-when h. Looks his best, as
he ALWAYS does. Nor do [ thiuk the
fascination of his manners has much to
do with it. You recollect that the
charm of art inheres in shat which is in
defiDabl", and to you and me. my dear
Irene, fancy there is rather less of that
in the branch of art under consideration
than to gills in their first season. l
fancy | know how my fine gentleman
produces many of his effects and could
perhaps instruct him to heighten them.
Nevertheless his manner is something
truly delightful. l suppose what
interests me chiefly is the mans brains.
His conversation is the best have ever
heard, aud altogether unlike any ones
else. He seems to know everything, as
indeed he ought, for he has been every
where, read everything, seen all there is
to see-sometimes think rather more
than is good for him-and had acquain-
lance with the queerest people, And
then his voice-Irene, when | hear it |
actually feel as if | ought to have paid
at the door, though of course it is my
feel my remarks about DIR.
Barritz must have been, being thought
less, very silly, or you would not have
written of him with such levity, not to
say disrespect. Believe me, dearest, he
has more dignity and seriousness (of the
kind, mean, which is not consistent
with manner sometimes playful
and always charming) than any of
the men that YOU and I ever met
And young Raynor-you knew Raynor
at Monterey-tells me that the men all
like him, and that he is treated with
something like Difference everywhere.
There is mystery, too-something
about his connection with the Blavatsky
people in Northern India. Raynor either
would not or could not tell the particu-
lars. 1 infer that DR.. Barritz is thought
don't you dare to laugh-a magician !!
Could anything be finer than that? An
ordinary mystery is not, of course, as
good as scandal, but when it re lates to
dark and dreadful practices-to the ex-
ercise of unearthly powers-could any
thing be more piquant? IteXplains, too
the singular influence the man has upon
me. Il is the indefinabe in his art
black ait Seriously, dear, quite trem-
BILE when he looks me full in the eyes
with those unfathomable orbs of his
which have already vainly attempted
to describe to you. How dreadful il he
have the power to make one fall in love
Do you know if the Blavatsky crowd
have that power-outside of Sepoy?

that was alone. I had been all the
evening continuing how to worm out OF
him the truth about his connection with
the Thugs in Sepoy, and all that black
business. but the moment he fixed his
eyes on me, for l admitted him, I'm

Irene! love the man beyond expression

The little wretch Raynol

almost wild. He never runs down
that is to say, when he does run down q
score of regulations more or less he does
