had a very pure and vibrating
soprano voice, was asked to sing.
The baroness played her accom-
paniment. She selected a song,
thea quite new, ''F Henry VIII,
composed by Saint-Saens, and sang
the air which describes the unfor-
tunate Catherine d'Aragon making
her adieux to her natal country.
| She sang it so beautifully and
with SO much feeling and pathos,
that / shed tears.
AS regards Mr. Valentine. he
gave the singer more than sympa-
thetic glance, when she finished,
and he applauded her furiously.
Mrs. Mathers witnessed this
triumph. She grew pale when she
realized the advantage her rival
had gained. She was obliged to
applaud her also, but she did it un
graciously. There was wicked
smile on her lips, and a sinister
light in her eyes, that BODIED no
good.
I thought if this woman could
take away her advantage, she
would be capable of any mean act,
not criminal act, mind you, but
at least, capable OF a little infamy.
The next day after a successful
hunt-I had killed two rabbits,
three young chicGs and a partridge,
not bad for noviee--I went to
dress for dinner. I was a little
late and the bell had already sound

In descending, I SAW one OF the !
maids, through a half-opened door,
laughing silently, and watching |
Mrs. Frazier who was descending
the stairs before me.
Her dress was not entirely closed
at the back, and, at the gap, one
could see---what? Perfectly white,

trast, was a cushion, a pillow [ |

it was one Of those ornaments, that
was the fashion at that time.
I grasped the situation at once.
1t was necessary to prevent the
charming blond from appearing
before the others in this predica-
ment. To tell the truth, the mis-
sion was delicate, especially for me,
young and Insignificant, vis-a-vis
with a woman of her Importance.

I was clerk OF the collections at
Tulle. The patron, who was grow
ing old, and who had great conf
dence in me, often sent me in his
place, even to the houses OF the
aristocracy, to receive thescircum-
scriptions, which he formerly at
tended to himself.
In this manner [ became ac-
quainted with one Of the lords of
the neighbourhood, Baron de Fage

to my composure, to perceive that

The baron received me, how ever,
with charming cordiality, and pre-
sented me, with few pleasant words,
particularly, to gentleman, who
was taking the baroness in to din
ner. He was the Pay Master

Valentine.
Delighted with this beginning,
md endowed with keen appetite,

I did not take much part in the
conversation; listened to what
