France Trying to Establish n COM

The dispute between England and
France in regard to Madagascar is one
OIL long standing. Madagascar is a large
island separated from the southeastern
portion of Africa by the Mozambique
Channel. 1t Is now virtually under a
French Protectorate, although it is
claimed in England that at least one
seventh of the island is held by British
capital.

CHAPTER III.

Five days have passed since Trix and
Captain Despard had decided that their
engagement had better cease, and the last
evening had come.
On the morrow they were both to leave
the pleasant country house where they had
spent the last few weeks together; but
they had scarcely exchanged half dozen
words save in the presence OF others since
the night OF the dance: and these few
had not been of a nature to modify the
strained relations which existed between
them.
On this last evening there was again a
dance al the II manor-house, to which many
brother officers of Captain Despard's was
also expected, but he had only arrived
after dinner was over, and dancing had
already begun before Trix saw him.
She had wondered whether Captain Des-
pard would take an early opportunity of
introducing him to her, and smiled rather
dreariy at the thought of what base
fraud she was, posing as his fiancee, while
all the time they were only waiting till
this visit should be over to announce that
their engagement was broken off forever.
Or course. II he was really trying to keep
mp appearances, he could scarcely fail to
do SO; and Ttix watched with rising eX-
citement for the arrival OF this brother
officer of her lost lovers, of whom she had
often heard him speak in terms of warm
affection.
They entered together, and, without so
much as glance in her direction, passed
on into the conservatory, where she had
seen Miss Robinson disappear not five
minutes before.
The morning call., 1894-08-05

"Oh-presently. Miss Robinson can
walt a few minutes"
Il am not engaged to her for the n ext
two dances, so If you like to take turn
around the garden"
Don't you find her very stuDid-after
me, you know?"
"On the contrary. she is most charming G
companion"
Really. Why she has absolutely moth
ing to say"
Il have not discovered it, yet / have
seen good deal of her the last few days.
AT least whatever she does say she means"
Trix made little grimace.
What a very embarrassing person she
must be-" she said meditatiyely. poor
Tom, had 40 idea it was as bad as that. "
DO you wish to go round the garden,
Miss Ranham. or do you not ?" he asked
coldly.

dances if you are not"
Am L to have the pleasure of taking you

''Yss-for the sake of appearances; but
for nv own lnclinations-no."
(Which is it to be?" he persisted quietly.
(which do you advise?" she asked,
pausing at the window and facing him in
the N moonlight. ''Pll leave it to you"
Il advise nothing" looking back into
the blue eyes steadily. Please yourself"
II willard Mr.. Marchmontl He has
been bo herring about it all the evening"

must resign you now to your next part
ner."
So they parted-plea sanity, for it was in
the aaunting gasllght; and the eyes of the
world-their little world-were upon hem.
Trix felt convinced that she should find
Charley Marcbmont-the eldest son of he
house, and very good-lookng young fell
lOw-far more agreea bic company than the
man she had Tilted; but though she worked
very hard. and stroVe to be her usual gay,
cOQuettish self, the attempt was by no
means so successful as could have been
wished; aud young Marchmont had never
found her so difficult to get on with as he
did that night.
1t is possible that the sight of Captain
Despard sitting in the con servatory. en-
gagged in earnest conversation with Fay
Robnson-wh0 was looking prettier than
ever in the subdued light-may have had
something to do with her ill-humor. But,
however that may have been, CAPTAIN Des-
pard appeared to enjoy himself amazingly,
and Trix could not but feel that be had
somehow succeeded in turning the ia bles
upon her in most humiliatiDg manner.
And yet be had kept his word to her in
every respect. She had nothing really TO
reproach him with, and that was the most
annoying part of the matter.

to her partner in the pause between two
dances.

Il shouldn't have thought Despard was

eyes for any other girl than Miss Rain

enjoying herself immensely"
Especially when he is in the room. Oh,
she is having very good time undoubt-
edly. and she wants every body to know it.
''NOt the least"
Il suppose you think" but she in
terrupied him quickly.
"Oh, no. don't never think; it takes
too much out of me. | see my partner
bearing down upon us, so you must come
to what conclusions you please about Trix
and her iance. | know should come to a
very prompt conclusion if | were she, and
so would my engagement"
Take care, she will hear you," he cried
warningly, but the warning came too late
Trix, had they only known it, had hsard
the words distinctly; but they were not
altogether uneXpeeted, and nothing but her
sudden flush betrayed that sine had done
so. Even the shrewd young matron was
left in doubt on the subject, doubt that
her OVID wishes soon converted into re-
assuring certainty, and she easily con-
vinced herself that the girls heightened
color could only have been due to the ex-
ertiOn OF dancing or some too tlatteriDg re-
mark Of her partners.
II think this is our dance, Trix?"
The girl turned quickly at the we'll
known voice, and her blue eyes flashed as
she said:
Il had no idea we were so far down the
programme as that Are you sure you are
not mistaken"
Quite sure; snd"-lowering his voice a
little-"I really think you had better give

the pretty dark-haired girl among the
roses.
Little Miss Robinson looked up with a
smile as he approached.
"Nell?" she said anYiouSly.

from her. II am quite free TO help you

She was long time getting them.
Trix. glancing from her window half an
hour later, saw two figures still lingering
among the roses, and she laughed and
sang gay little song TO herself as she ran
lightly downstairs TO join the tennis
players. The morning was certainly no
cooler than it had been half an hour ago :;
but Trix had changed her mind, apparent

She made a movement of impatience.

window on to the wide terrace that ran De-
fore the whole length of the house.
"Indeedi And why?"

Nothing. truly; and it is probable hs
might have SAID less and yes have given
her more satisfaction. The ways of
women are wonderful and past finding
out; and Trix herself was at loss to
understand why her flirtations had sud-
denly lost all flavor aud ceased to interest
her, because they no longer excited the
jealous wrath of her sometime lover. She
paced along beside him for few moments
in, cilo a
very paIs-far paer than could be ac-
counted for by the soft summer moon
light.

not infrequently happened-to make her,
self too agreeable to her companion for
the moment, or dance too often with the
same partner. These things had chafed
her often, she rememo oered, during the
period of her brief engagem ent to Captain
Despard. She wondered now how she had
ever tolerated his interference for six ong
weeks, and smiled a little scornfully at
the thought of her own exemplary be-
havior. Whether an impartial observer
would have pronounced her behavior so

another matter.
