CHAPTER XLVIIT.

Lady Marion never did anything by
halves. It was seldom that her calm,
quiet nature was stirred, but when
that happened she felt more deeply,
perhaps, than people who express their
feelings with great ease and rapidity.
She was amused herself at her own
great liking for Madame Vanira 1t
was the second great love of her life.
The first had been for her husband,
this was the next. She talked of her
necessarily, until even Lord Chandos
wondered and asked how it was.
II cannot tell" she replied; Il think
[ am infatuated. I am quite sure,
Lance, that if I Lad been a gentleman,
[ should have followed Madame Vanira
to the other side of the world. I think
her, without exception, the most
charming woman in the world
She raised her eyes with innocent
tenderness to his face.
care you jealous because love her
so much?" she asked.
He shuddered as he heard the play
full, innocent words, so different from
the reality.
II should never be Jealous of you,
Marion" he replied, and then turned
the conversation.
Nothing less than visit to Madame
Vanira would please Lady Chandos
She asked her husband if he would go
to the Cedars with her, and wondered
when he declined. The truth was that
he feared some chance recognition,
some accidental temptation. He dared
not go, and Lady Marion looked very
disappointed.
IT thought you liked Madame
Vanira," she said. 81 am quite sure,
Lance, that you looked as if you did"
''My dear Marion, between liking
persons and giving up busy morning
to go to see them there is an immense
difference. If you really wish me 20
go, Marion, you know that I will break
all my appointments"

she lifted her fluffy skirts, a silver
bracelet, an undeniable silver brace
let, about one slender ankle. The
street car wasn't fast enough for him.
He called cab and dashed home to
break the news to his wife Sister
Jennie was too young to know any
better, but she was going entirely too
far. Wife looked at the matter in
precisely the same light and shared
his horror at Jenny's behavior. The
offending maid was called into her
sisters room as soon as she came
home, in order that she might be made
to see the error of her ways Wife
presently emerged, somewhat red of
face.
you're goose" said she to her
waiting husband. This was too much.
Perhaps Jennie had undermined her
good taste with the horrifying fad.
"Why, pray?" he demanded, with
dignity. ''Was it not silver braceIet?"
mo, it wasn't" answered Wife. "It
wasn't silver and it wasn't bracelet.
It was aluminium, and-well, clasps
will give way sometimes, you great
silly. The idea! Just as if Jennie
didn't feel embarrassed enough about
it already! A bracelet! The idea of

A BRACELET 1T WASN'T.
But it Caused One Young Woman
Some Embarrassment.

There is man out Columbia
Heights way who received a great
shock just the other day. He has a
wife and the wife has a pretty sister
who is staying with her. Sister is
young and so unused to the ways of a
city that her brother-in-law feels it
necessary to look after her very care
fully. He is especially anxious that
she shall not take on any of the sum-
mer girls ridiculous fads. One of them
as perhaps you have heard, though I
am happy to say I haven't seen it yet
in Washington, is the wearing Of sill
yer bracelet about one ankle. Of course
it's a fad no man cares to see his
pretty sister-in-laW adopt, so you may
judge of the horror Of this Columbia
Heights man when he saw his wifes
sister trip out to board a car on the
Fifteenth street transfer station,
one recent afternoon, and espied, as

MONKEYS HARD TO TEACH.

An experienced animal trainer says:
LAS rule monkeys are readily trained,
but occasionally there is one, as in the
human species, who is Ounce and
won't learn anything, is positively stu
pid and refuses persistently to become
educated. The trouble in teaching
monkeys is largely that they are mis-
chievous. They try to overdo things,
and do things which are not wanted OF
them; so that in order to make them
them; so that in order to make them
perform as desired steady drilling is
necessary, although they grasp an idea
quickly. The only two species of ami
mails which can be taught by precept
and example are the chimpanzee and
the orang-outang. They are imitators,
and to instruct them in doing thing
it is only necessary for the trainer to
do it first himself and then either one
of these will initiate him."

PLEA FOR A NEW SONG.

Avaunt! We tiresome bards who sing
Of the budding flowers and breath of
spring,
Of the hackneyed, threadbare themes
of love,
Your lady's Wavy locks of gold,
Or dainty fan or shapely glove
Avaunt! The tale is trite and old.
Be We men and waste your fancies rare
On the tangled tufts Of woman's
hair?
Be ye sons of Eve and spend your
brain
Singing the light of woman's eyes?
Ere the wind has snatched the loving
strain,
Ere the song has hushed the love-
light dies.
Sing me a song Of work and strife,
Of the man who shouIdered his way
thro's life,
Leaving the primrose path to fools;
Who gained the skies from the vul-
gar sod
With aught save natures sturdy tool;
All, there's a man for the smile of
God

WHEN A LIE WOULD HAVE
SERVED.

After the young man had patted his
eye with cold water for half an hour
and then fitted a beefsteak cushion
over it he went into the front part of
the house to find his father.
''Been fighting?" asked the old gen.
tleman sternly when he recognized his
son.
mo fight about it. I got a poke in
the eye that was good for four-bagger
if I had been a baseball. That's all
there was to it."
"Must have been some place you
shouldn't have been.''
''Not at ALL and he WINGED as he adj
justed the steak. 81 went to the hotel
to look for that friend of yours, just
as you directed"
"He didn't strike your"
emo, but it came from that Internal
code Of etiquette you've been preaching
to me. You insist that one should al
ways tell the truth and that any idea
of politeness inconsistent with that is
sham and a mockery."
"That's right. Always told you So"
81 know you did. One of the
strangers there was telling an expert
ence that sounded a little fishy. While
they were all chatting him he turned
to me and asked me if I thought he
looked like a man who couldn't tell
the truth. promptly said that he did.
Then he wanted to know if I meant he
had been lying. I remembered your
training and said that I did. When
began to take notice again I had this
and he tender1y felt the steak.

Watchmen are still employed about
the premises and there is as much

the ultimate outcome of this high

A brewery has been negotiating for
the purchase of it, but all offers have

CHAPTER XLVII.
The Compact of Friendship.

The quadrille had been danced, and
Leone said to herself that there was
more pain than pleasure in 1T, when
Lady Marion, with an unusual glow Of
animation on her face, came to Leone,
who was sitting alone.
Madame Vanira," she said, cit
seems cruel to deprive others Of the
pleasure of your society, but [ should
like to talk to you. I have some
pretty things which 1 have brought
from Spain, which I would like to
show you. Will it please you to come
with me. or do you care for dancing?"
Leone smiled sadly. Tragedy and
comedy are always side by side, and
it seemed to her, who had had so ter
ribIe a tragedy in her life, who stood
face to face with so terrible a tragedy
now, it seemed to her absurd that she
should think of dancing.
81 would rather talk to you" she re-
piled, than do anything else" The
two beautiful graceful women left the
room together. Leone made some re-
as they passed, and Lady Chandos
smiled.
Il am a home-loving being myself
[ prefer the pretty little morning-room
where we take breakfast, and my own
bOudoir, to any other place in the
house. They seem to be really ones
own because no one else enters them.
Come to my bourdoir now, Madame
Vanira, and I will show you lot Of
pretty treasures that I brought from
Spain.
From Spain" She little knew how
those words Jared even on Leone's
heart. 1t was in Spain they had in
trigued to take her husband from ner,
and while Lady Marion was collecting
art treasures the peace and happiness
of her life had been wrecked, her fair
name blighted, her love slain. She
wondered to herself at the strange

A PASSING THOUGHT.

If all who spend their time in grum-
bling
About their griefs and pains and cares,
And all who squander time in num-
bling
Conflicting, inconsistent prayers,
And all who waste their time in jeering
At others plans, unknown, or sneering
At others hopes, uncomprehended,
Would spend their leisure hours in
scanning
The book Of human life and planning
How all mankind may well escape
From man-made ills in every shape.
How draw from life it's base alloy,
Life would become a dream Of joy
From birth until the hour it ended.

mo. I will not waltz with you," she
replied, gently.
"Why?" he asked, bending his hand
some head over her.
II might make false excuses, but l
prefer telling you the TRUTH she an
swered; 81 will not trust myself
And when Leone took that tone Lord
Chandos knew that further words were
useless.
"You will dance a quadrille, at
least?" he asked, and she consented.
Then he offered his arm and they
walked through the room together.
The ballroom at Stoneland House
was a large and magnificent apart
ment; many people thought it the
finest ballroom in London. The i'm
mense dome was brilliantly lighted,
the walls we're superbly painted, and
tier after tier of superb blossoms filled
the room with exquisite color and ex-
Quisite perfume.
The ballroom opened into large
conservatory, which led to fernery,
and from the fernery one passed to Cne
grounds. Leone felt embarrassed.
She longed to praise the beautiful
Mace. vet it seemed to her if she did so
it would be like reminding him that 1t
ought to have been hers; while he on
the contrary, did not dare to draw her
attention to picture, flower, or statue
lest she should remember that they
had been taken from her by great
and grievous wrong.

''I begin to think we have done
wrong in ever thinking of friendship

Lord Chandos turned to her sud
denly.

a conquest of my mother-you DO not
know how she admires you'll
A bitter smile curled the beautiful
lips.

Leone: "but it strikes me as being

she will learn to appreciate you"
A sudden glow of fire flashed In
those superb eyes.

be able to pay my debt to Lady Lans-
well, and in what shape I shall pay

He shuddered as he gazed in the
beautiful face.
'"Try to forget that, Leone" he said.
81 never like to remember that you
threatened my mother"
eve will not discuss it, - she said
coldly. eve shall never agree"
Then the orchestra began to play the
e1uadrilles. Lord Chandos led Leone
TO her place. He thought to himself
what cruel wrong it was on the part OF
fate that the woman whom he believed
to be his welded wife should be stand
ing there, a visitor in the house which
ought to have been her home.
