SGnaI 2nTietlcS and cares Ec might have found this ;2n interesting experience: bat there were many mat tors vitally af- fccting himself. whose importance So far overshadcwcd the political issue with wiich l1c had become temporarily identified, that it's intrusion upon his thoughts and attention cucmed Hl1c c1 i:apcrtiuence,O only to be endured as phil osoplically as possible for policy sale.
 The unexpected denard upon him for q formal public address and the necessity Of meetinr this e1nermCncv had fer the time driven his own ai1 airs from his mind; but no cocncr was the crisis safely passed than his thoughts turned rlore eagerly than ever to the possibilities and hopes and fears which the last two days had developed. That one moment, when Ec stood before the steps of the Clement horse and cauClt the tceting vision of enc vI.O if she were net in very truth the proud and beautiful Myca who had once rcirrcd royalty Il his heart and Uho now lived in his bittcrcst memory. wc1 90 stra-lGc- ly like her that thc sight of her face he'd thrilled him with sudden D2aoio---tl2@6 one moment, fall of keen pain, Of eager, mad hope he had lived cvcr and over again, solacin% himself tl.,-s r1tl tl,c moment should come when ho could change this suspense to certainty.
 Tn the meantime. speculation was rife. If it were really skc. lis Myrc, Ly w!:at strange fatality tiI tl,cy meet here in K? And why should s!,e be with Mrs. ,Iay.lar,l? By what curious freak Of fortune v-clC these tyro women, zvlcsa interests had become % closely intorworc1 with lis own, ti;cuCh he had never befcrc au.Pected their mutual connection, thus thrown together?
 Cf course his roEccticcs on this point were mere Er-.it!os5 conjecture: never thclcos t3.cy posscssed 2 great f25cina- ton for him, and cvcn his sajisfl"tjon at having solved the mystery so long CnrclO0inT AuEie Dupont vas quite cclipscI by this far deeper pccoonal feeling.
 He 1il ret. however, lose sight of the necessity fer caution: and for the pres e2t he realized that his professional in tcrests I-ll1at be paramount. The flower success, " UEich Eo honcd to Plu1l:, v->s still jast little beyond his reach and surroundcl by the ncttlos uncertain ty: until t1is prize was secured kc must clcse his eyes to ali other allErcmc1ts even though his only chc-ce. CT hope Of hGp2ilcss lay within them.
 It was therefore solely in p,.-.i-7ancc of his professional dutics--or so l.c c1- surcd himself with great cnphcsi1- hat lie went on the morning following his signal success at the opera house . call on #:'s. Maynard, before procce,l- in@ to Evansburg on his second c:,d probably decisive visit, and give her some hint of the turns tllat affairs were ta7:iac.
 His walk thither was enlivened by a curious incidcnt, which. however, he might soon have forgotten but for it's speedy and embarrassing seq-el.
 He had just entered upon the Quiet vista of DclGplai2c street, absorbed ia lis own interesting re4lcctio:>s. when his attention Vos idly directed toward Q gertlclncn in an i1valid's chair
 which au at1cntivc valet v-as slowly pushing along the pavement. The thin. drunken figure in it's rich attire. sparkling with diamonds and resDle-- dent il fine linen, attracted perhaps rather i-crc than q ccsyGl attention from >.Crth, whose mind V'cs Impressed by the I...i2f;5l contrast between the object Hrctcl:2t2css Cf the invclid@ f2cc and t..e ro1ap and sTlcaacr of his ,,l2tv.ar;l circumstances. Helpless and s,-ltorinr, he vas evidently not one whom tl,c revere Glaciplinc Of physical cI4iiatioa hGd softeECtl and refined; 1t s--as but tco obvious IhGt heIe was q mind G3 z-a,pel and diseased as it's fta;I tenement. The expression of his face bctr:.rcl q harsh. selfish nature e.,zs:,yeet1 Ated ;4lGlo5t to q gr"tcsquc dc ,-I cc l3y ycGI:; of self indulgence. He appeared to be constantly ct the alert t. discover something tl:at he might conatc':c into grievance. The eulruIut.s glance of his restless eyes. t?lc snv,.r'n;7 carl Of lis t!in lips under a fierce iron gray muTt2clc, f,rcatallcd a!l wo1-;.:,. and were q sufficient warn iu.s to Ic:ao:!:s uf c@u:> penetration rot to 2eirc l.iin tlsc Trovccation for which he was evidently watching to give way to violent aii,! aggressive wrath.
 North was passing ti:is gentleman with thc speculative tHt courteous glance of 2 rcrfcet stranger, when to lis utter ars::.z,.L,ictit he was accostcd in nlc most Par"n,i.,efy r'aIncr-

 ''s5oinc one. evidently. whom ought to know" I.e tlnnght. and whom it will he awkward and unfortunate to offend. What can do to paclfy hin?'
 Then, liftng hns hat ns he turned back to the gentleman, North said, with an a2ulntr;'t'c air:
 '',..y5- dear sir. beg your pardon. ucs prc"rcuplc,l, and di,! not recognize yo3 at all"
 This s;ate'1cnt. although offered with ! charming fran!'ucas and suavi!y, was quit" thrown away upon the deeply of tended gentleman
 Oh don't tctt ,nci' he c, i,rI with an
