This is Mrs Nettleton, Celeste" said
he.
Mrs. Nettleton?" echoed Celeste, in a
sweet but rather supercilious tone. She
looked first at Marcia, then at Noel Mrs
Nettleton?' she repeated, with a stronger
emphasis.
Yes, Mrs. NettIeton," said Noel, poking
the fire Then he turned round and added
''By an unexpected but most fortunate
chance Mrs NettIeton has arrived the
same evening as you, Celeste. DO sit down
by the fire.
Celeste took no notice of this invita- ton,
but stood in statuesque stiffness by the
table; her eyes were fixed on Marcia and
seemed to search her face.
Marcia, forgetful of her own suspicion
in the agony OF being suspected, started
tae story of the strange events which had
brought her to Mr.. Forrester's door that
evening Celeste listened in silence. but to
Marcia's dismay a look of undisguised in
credplity spread over her handsome
features as the tale proceeded. Once only
she interrupted
The gentleman you speak OF as Fred
is your husband?'' she asked, coldly.
Marcia looked from her impaSsive face
to the pleasant smile of Noel Forester
There was a chance for the truth now,
but would not the truth seem of ali things
most incredible to this icy girl? Marcia
coloTed, looked down, heSitated, presented
every sign OF severe confusion, but she
dared not face Noel's smile and Celeste S

"Ofcourse husband, she murmured,
In the end.

she moved sitting down in an armchair
and gazing into the fire Marcia sank
on q sofa by the wall Noel Forester
ana looking from one to the other with
much apparent amusement.
Il hope he'll come soon," Marcia
moaned.
"Oh, hope so,'' said Noel, with laugh
II don't expect to see him Just yet
observed Celeste, in a tone OF delicate
irony.
The limit OF Marcia's patience was
reached Guilty herself of the merest
peccadiIIo, nay, of the merest pleasantly,

and scornfuI treatment and To the must

Susan!
What is it?'' asked Noel. His tone
was composed, but his eyes still twinkled.
"The carriage has returned, sir. Mr..
Nettleton had found his way to the inn"
"Ah, good, You must feel relieved,
Mrs. Nettleton.''
"Mr Nettleton wishes to thank you
for your great kindness TO Mrs. Nettle-
ton, sir, and since you're so good, he'll
remain at the inn tonight and call for
Mrs. Nettleton early in the morning. He
trusts, sir. that you've been put to no in

Inconvenience! On thecontrary! Thatll

they want YOU Susan withdrew. Noel
turned 10 Marcia: I'm afraid you must
resign yourself to being sheltered by this
roof until the morning" he said.
~ won't stay!" cried Marcia, In fierce
wrath at Fred's desertion of her. How

dictates OF propriety! Mr.. Forrester's

No said Celeste, with smile.
'TlI go to my rooml'' said Marcia,
haug ghtily.
Its my room," observed Celeste, in a
meditatve, half-absent tone
Don't be inhospitable, my dear Celeste.
I'm sure you'd make Mrs Nettleton wei
come to anything that is yours
"Oh, well, with one exception" laughed
Celeste, directing an arch glance toward
Noel
You're really too charmingi" he cried,
and. bending he took her aand and kissed
It, But he seemed still to have an eye for
Marcia amid his devotion To Celeste.
"Ohr eaSped Marcia, making for the
door But she was not quick enough TO
prevent Noel Forester opening it for
her, and honoring her angry departure
with deferential bow AS the door
closed behind her gay shout OF laughter

And they Thought Horror on horror.

ELECTRIC LIGHT APPROPRIATION
The Amount Named In the Senate
Bill Deemed Insufficient.

Capt. Burr, assistant to the engineer
commissioner, in a communication TO the
latter yesterday afternoon, recommended
that the amount rs "a by the House in
the District appropriation bill for the
illumination of the streets of the city by
electric arcs, j. e., sos, 1000, be urged
as the appropriation necessary for the
purpose, even if it be found necessary to
make reduction from the Senate figures
of S1S5, 900 for gas lighting
The amounts named in the House bill
were $135 600 and S55, 200, for gas and
electric lighting, respectively. In the
Senate bin the gas lighting item is in
creased to S1S5, 10000 and the electric
lighting item is reduced to $40 .0o0. This
latter amount is much smaller than the
amount appropriated for the current year,
and notwithstanding the reduction in
the price of arc lighting, will not maintain
as many lamps as the current appro-
priation, or as the needs of this service
require. There are now lighted, or under
contract to be lighted before the 4th
inst, sos arc lamps, and all of these
lamps 81 ould be permanently maintained
