then the stately figure on the stairs rustled
down, recognized their presence with cold
contracted bow, and swept past them into the
drawing-room.

arm, to be presented. ''Miss Laurence-Miss

edged the Introduction. but something in the
beautiful face attracted her. and she deter
mined they should be friends
The day OF the ball drew nigh. There were
to be tableaux, followed by dancing, and the
performers were busy studying dress and
attitude. Volumes OF old engravings were
dragged down from their shelves, studied
and re-studied; chests, unmolested for years,
ransacked to the bottom and brocades and
velyets dragged therefrom for the important
event. Miss Sewell was constantly in de-
mand, SO that she ever had an excuse when
her host would have detained her by his side.
and he wondered what the strange barrier
could mean between them
Not so could she escape the little white
robed figure which crept, night after night,
to her door, which would nestle before the
fire at her feet and claim admission to her
heart, whether she would have it SO or not.
A singular fascination drew her to this
girl, who had robbed life of its sweetness,
whom her coldness could not repel or anger.

came back to the world she felt her hands

had been crime. Philip still was beside her.

MABEL are you better?" he whispered. "I
have been so anxious, darling. have longed
so, Mabel, to tell you of my love, but you
seemed so cold, so changed, 1 dared not
hazard all What have done to offend you?
Forgive me for taking advantage of your
weakness but l dare not wait until you are
strong to escape me-"
Was she dreaming? If so, might she never
wakenl Then she remembered Lille.
"You are forgetting Miss Laurence's claims
upon you, Mr.. Bonsart?
"Claims upon me! 1 know of none save
that she is an old playfellow and engaged to
my nearest and dearest friend, at present on
service abroad. l thought you knew that,
Mabel"
What poor fool she had beenl Now she
remembered Lille had not told her the name
OF her betrothed, but she had taken all for
granted.
Now that we have disposed of Miss Lau-
renee, Mabel" he continued, "is there no
other claim you can make?"
"None but my own, Philip" And then she
told him of all that she had suffered
"Ah, Mabel did you not know there was
but one Queen Rose in all the worlds garden
for me, and now that have plucked it, how
royalty will guard it-how proudly wear it,
all the world shall see,''
So the curtain fell upon tar1eau for which
there was no audience, and in which Miss
Sewell was forced to take part after ALL

her eyes caught what none other had seen,
a spark of red, which any motion might fan
into flames. and which showed with a lurid
glare on Lille Laurence's closely clinging
dress. Fascinated. she watched it deepen and
glow. As in a vision she saw the beautiful
face distorted and ruined. Who would care
for it then? Was she mad? Could she har-
Dor for one moment such thought? And a
wild shrek escaped her lips, and was echoed
by Lille as the flames rush out and she found
herself enveloped in them. Yet before she
had time actually to realize the danger or the
awe-struck people to make a move toward
her rescue she felt herself clasped to Miss
Sewell's breast; another moment, and with
her own dress was she beating them down,
with ter own hands fighting their progress.
1t was a short struggle, but it cost the victor

almost fainting.
"You are hurt. Mabel" an anxious voice
said. 'My darling, how brave, how noble
you were."
Was it Philip who spoke thus? She would
not yell to this weakness. She would cross
the room, and gain the hall. She made two
or three steps, feebly but resolutely, vaguely
wondering what had made her flesh SO heavy

with her last breath. philip! Oh, Philip"
In reality the words were but whisper,
but they found their way to the ears Of him
whom she called, who bent over her with a
word OF anxious love, whose strong arms
raised and carried her where she might have
air, and rest, and silence. The hands which

i hand of ice clutched the listeners heart
at this confirmation strong, but she answered
calmly:

"Indeed it is; unless Philip-and he prom

"He has not betrayed it. assure you. But
come; if You want any roses left for to-mor-
row you must bid me good night"
Yet when her guest had left her she stirred
not moved not. until the dawn was begin
ming to break and the fire had died down and
out. Then she crept, shiveriag, into bed,
worn and wan.
At length the long-expected evening came.
The guests were assembled, the tableaux
fairly under way. In vain they had pleaded
with Mabel to take some part. She would
assist them in any way but that, and as. one

enthusiastic applause their perfect success

as he held her to him. while she tied around
his arm the white signal which should pro-

pair of eyes watched it from behind the scenes

Young people should be taught that it is not
only selfish, but bad form to keep people
waiting, for it is unhappily true that we are
so constituted that it would trouble us more
to commit any social soecism than to feel our
conscience accuse US of any want Of considera-
ton to others. Some people seem to have
a constitutional inability to be ready on time,
and they go through life causing more dis
comfort and exciting more irritability than
little. They are placidly selfish and aggra-
vatingly self-satis1ed while their victims fret

voices echoed through the grand old halls, as

DISLIKES OUR TRUST DEEDS.

Senator Allen Has Another Fling at Wash
ington Real Estate Transfers.
Senator Allen, in discussing the bill pro-
viding for the regulation of the foreclosure of
trust deeds and conveyances in the District,
which was taken up yesterday in the Senate
as part OF the unfinished business, stated that
he had examined the bill in detail since its
last consideration and considered i. radi-
cally wrong.
After calling attention to the question of
the warranty involved. he declared that the
section of the bill providing that if any por-
ton of the interest were not paid the prop
erty could be at once sold was outrageous.
Another matter to which he objected was
that sale by the trustee should confer full
title without adiudgment by court. That,
he claimed. was not due process of law. He
then offered amendments requiring publica-
ton of sale once week for eight weeks and
allowing redemption at any time within one
year by the debtor on payment of principal
and interest.
Senator Faulkner expressed the hope that
these amendments would not prevail, and
stated that the whole committee was opposed
to them. He further urged that the bill was
only intended to amend the present law rs to
procedure and not alter the whole system of
lending on real estate, as proposed by the
Senator from Nebraska.

Griffith Address the w. C. T. U.
Two addresses upon the subject Of temper
ance were made yesterday afternoon before
an audience of ladies Of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the headquarters
of the association. Mrs. NJ. Mcclellan Brown,
the vigorous prohibition worker of Ohio, and
Mrs. Mary E. Griffith, the president Of the
local union, were the speakers.
Mrs. Brown said that the flow of the tide of
temperance in Washington is very strong at
present. The public heart is mellow. public
conviction is with the prohibition workers,
and the sentiment of the people and the
church is with them. The practical question
Of to-day is, shall we work until the liquor
saloon is closed? There should be committee
appointed for every denomination, and it
should urge upon the church the necessity of
immediate action. ''The press will help US"
she sad. with something of emphasis, "an-
nounce our meetings and report them, and
this influence will swell the army OF crusaders
against rum. The people OF Washington are
ready. and as soon as practical movement
is inaugurated they will come to the rescue
with the necessary money, and will present
their demands to Congress TO have the sale of
liquor prohibited in the District OF Columbia"
In bringing the meeting to a close Mrs.
Griffith strongly expressed her sentiments
against rum selling. and said that she has
number of letters from persons in the tolls of
this demon, telling of the miserable lives they
are living. She had only yesterday received
a letter from Il stranger disclosing tire mi
guilty that is now being committed by the sale
of liquors in the Soldiers Home. Mrs. Grit
fifth said that two OF the members of the union
had called on Commissioner Truesdell in re-
gard to granting licenses for the sale of
liquors, and they found him a staunch friend
to their cause. The union has extended its
influence to the church, and the pastors will
frequently deliver sermons on the subject Of
temperance.
meeting of the Chaplin auxiliary will be
held on next Wednesday at the headquarters,
when one OF the local ministers will speak.
