OR,
Half a Truth.
BY THE DUCHESS"

The music was brought, and Valerie 30.
iected one OF Schubert's songs, carefully
passing over some that she had no mind to
sing tonight. Then Colonel Beauregard
drew back, and let Lord Westbrook turn
ever for her, but he listened with an in
tense delight to her singing, little dream
ing that she sang only for him. and cared
for no ones thanks but his. Valerie had
a rich pure mezzo, which in the last two
years had been carefully cultivated. She
sang with exquisite taste, and q depth OF
expression which would be still more
marked in songs that gave scope for such
expression; but these she refused, when
urged by Lord Westbrook, to sing tonight.
II am not In a mood for pathos or pas
sionate laments," she said, lightly, and
would only sing songs of her w selection.
That night Mrs. Langley lay some time
awake, sorely perplexed in spirit. What
could Valerie's conduct this evening meanf
Was 1t coquetryi Was it rebellionf Did
she mean to show Max Beauregard that
she did not care for him, and would not
pretend to do soi or was she only trying to
test her powerf-a dangerous game with
such a man as Beauregard. But, at any
rate for the present, Mrs. Langley dared
not interfere. Things must take their
course.
But Angela began to take heart of grace.
Surely, IL Valerie meant to conciliate such
a proud man as Colonel Beauregard, she
would not set about II by flirting with 9th.
er men before his face; and snubbing him
as much as, being his guest, she well could
do.
