Luncheon is at an end and the day still
heavy with heat, the desire for action that
lies In every breast takes fire. They are
oil tired of doing nothing. The tennis
courts lie invitingly empty, and rackets
thrust themselves into notice at every

ennui, they insert themselves under each
arched instep threatening to bring the
owners to the ground unless picked up and

1t is wonderful, however, what her eyes

HAPTE III.

CdA1 LEM III.
The visit to the Court being decided on.
Miss Kavanagh undertakes life afresh
with a Joyous heart. Lord and Lady Bal
timore are the best host and hostess III
the world, and a visit to them means I'M
mixed pleasure while 1t lasts. The Court
IL indeed the pleasantest house In the
county, the most desirable In all respects.
and the gayest. Yet, strange and sad to
add, happiness has found no bed within its
walls.
This Is the more remarkable in that the
marriage of Lord and Lady Baltimore has
been an almost idealistic one. They had
been very much in love with each other,
and they grew so strong In their belief in
the immutability of their W relations,
one to the other, that when the blow fell
that separated them, it proved a very
lightning stroke, dividing soul from body.
Lady Baltimore was at no time q beau
siful woman. But there Is always q charm
In her face, a strength, an attractiveness
that might well defy the more material
oharms Of one ~loyelier than herself. With
a soul as pure as her face, and q mind ems

and the sad and foolish secrets she Ii COM
PEELED to bear upon her tired bosom from
century to century, she took with a bitter
hardness the revelations of her husbands

10 her by, of course, a devoted friend.
Unfortunately the authority was an I'M
deniable one. 1t was impossible for Lady
Baltimore to refuse to believe. The past,
too, she might have ~condoned; though, be-
lieving in her husband as she did. 1t would
always have been bitter to her, but the

had gone a step further, a fatal step; she
had told her something that had not oc-
cured since their marriage.
As a fact, Lord Baltimore had been the
hero of several ugly passages in his life.
His early life, certainly; but a young wife
who has begun by thinking him immacui
late, would hardly be the one to lay stress
upon that. And when her friend, WHO
had tried unsuccessfully to marry Lord
Baltimore and had failed, had In the kind

ignores heart. She grew cold, ~callous, in

feature, that used to be a picture of Sc
renity and charity personifed, hardened.
She became a~ustere, cold. She was still
a good hostess, and those who had known
aer before her misfortune still loved her.
But she made no new friends, and she sat
down within herself, as 1t were, and gave
herself up to her fate, and would probably
have died or grown reckless but for her
title son.

Venezuelan Monument to Americans

Venezuela has erected a beautiful
granite shaft to the memory Of ten
Americans who embarked in an expe-
dition from Baltimore under General

Venezuelan coast, and beheaded July

Garner, Gustave Burguel, Charles
Johnson, Paul T. George, Daniel Kemp
ner, Miles T. Hall, and John Ferris,

ana II WAS after the birth OF this be-
loved child that she had been told that her
husband had again been seen In company
with Nine. Istray, that seemed to add fuel
TO the fire already kndled. She could not
forgive that. 1t was proof positive of his
baseness.
He thought her heartless. There was
no scandal, no public separation. She said
a word or two to him that told him what
she had heard, and when he tried to ex-
plain the truths of that last libel that had
declared him unfaithful to her since her
marriage, she had silenced him with SO
cold, SO scornful, SO contemptuous q
glance and word, that, chilled and anger
ed In his turn he had left her
Twice afterward he had sought to ak
plain matters, but 1t was useless. She
would not listen; the treacherous friend,
whom she never betrayed, had done her
work well. Lady Baltimore, though she
never forgave her, never forgaye her hus-
band, either; she would make no formal
attempt at a separation. Before the world
she and he lived together, seemingly on
the best terms; at all events, on quite
as rood terms as most of their acQuaint-
ances; yet all the world knew how 1t was
with them. So long as there are servants,
30 long will it be impossible to conceal
our most sacred secrets.
As for Lord Baltimore, newell, he
would know how to console himself. So
ciety, the cruelest organization on earth,
laughed to itself about him. He had known
how to live before his marriage, now that
the marriage had proved a failure, he
would still know how to make life bear
able.
