Gwen gave Bob more waltzes than she
gave Phil. but the latter did not seem
TO mind, and that, OF course, was rather
a queer state of things. Bob noticed II,
which was remarkable. for in an ordi-
nary way his perceptions were just as
blunt as are most mems.

Poor old Bob! He could tell that some
thing was wrong. but he could not make
out what II was. though he puzzled that
honest hea of his until he thought he
was going to have brain fever. The
new look in Ovens eyes haunted him.
1t was always In his thoughts In the
daytime. and 1t kept him awake at
night. He felt impelled to do something
but what? That was the question.

was in fne trim for the wedding, the
bridal trousseau almost completed,
and even the ring bought, when an
awful thing took place.
MIR. Michaud and Doctor Mansfield.
the father of his prospective son-in-
law. while playing game Of domin-
oes, fell into a quarrel At first,
really a polite one, then an angry,
then furious one.
Doctor Mansfield called Mr.. Mich
aud cheat, and Mr.. Michaud called
the doctor a liar.
The doctor gathered the dominoes
in his hands, and was about to hurl
them at the head of Mr.. Michaud- He
thought be tter of it, however, caught
up his hat, stuck it on his head side
ways. crammed his fists into his pock-
cts and. without an ''adieu." marched
out of the house, calling his son to
follow him.
The end of the affair was dissolu-
tion Of the matrimon al engagement
between Theodore and Rosine.
In vain Theodore demonstrated. In
vain Rosine wept. The old gentle
men were not to be moved by the
unhappiness Of the young folks All
the deeds that had been drawn up
were cancelled. The little house which
had been furnished for the bride and
groom was let to family temporarily
sojourning in the place. and the lovers
were forbidden to speak another word
to each other as long as they lived
At last. having bribed Rosine'a
maid to keep his secret, he conided to
the hands of the girl a letter to her
mistress. In which he begged her to
steal from the house that night and
wait under the pear trees beside the
garden wall. until he should come to
her.
Rosine, who had never disobeyed
her parent in her life. felt as guilty
as though she were about to commit
a murder. when she stole out of the
side door to keep the rendezvous; but,
nevertheless, her heart beat high with
hope at the thought of nesting Theo-
dore once more, and when at last she
saw through the darkness a form
gradually rise above the wall. and
proceed to ascend by means of a rope
which was fastened on the other side,
she with difficulty refrained from
screaming aloud.
''Theodorel" she whispered; ''Oh,
Theodores my Theodorel That it
should be wrong for me to meet theel
that we. who were once betrOthed
lovers. should come to this!'
But the next moment he had caught
her hands and kissed them. and she
forgot all but that they we're together.
This was the first meeting. but it
was not the last. Night after night,
when the old gentleman was asleep.
snoring peacefully, Theodore and
Rosine sat side by side, more familiar
ly than they ever had done before, in
the garden under the pear trees,
while Nannette, the maid, kept watch
outside the little side door
All this had been going on for some
time, when one night Rosine took her
usual place to wait for Theodore. She
heard the stealthy steps as usual.
She saw the 1.-the form mount the
wall and stand in full relief against
the golden moon, just at that moment
rising. Then a faint cry of horror
fell upon her ear. and he vanished
