 Harry pacifed her by repeating her instructions perfectly, and she was just going to tell him more when General Vandeleur flung into the apartment, scarlet with anger and holding a long and elaborate milliner's bill in his hand.
 twill you look at this, madamer' cried he. "Will you have the goodness to look at this document? know well enough you married me for my money. and I hope I can make as great al lCwanceS as any other man in the serv-- ice; but, as sure as God made me, mean to put period to this disreputa- ble prodigality!"
 "Mr. Hartley" said Lady Vandeleur, T think you understand what you have to do. May I ask you to see to it at once"
 Stop" said the general, addressing Harry. "One word before you go." And then, turning again to Lady van- deleur, What is this precious fellows errand?' he demanded. T trust him no further than do yourself, let me tell you. If he had as much as the rudi- ments of honesty, he would scorn to stay in this house, and what he does for his wages is a mystery to all the world. What is his errand, madam, and why are you hurrying him awayw
 T supposed you had something to say to me in private" replied the lady.
 You spoke about an errand," insist ed the general. Do not attempt to de ceiye me in my present state of temper. You certainly spoke about an errand."
 If you insist on making your serv- ants privy to our humiliating dissen- sions,' replied Lady Vandeleur, .'per- hapS l had better ask Mr. Hartley to sit down. No?" she continued "Then you may go, MT. Hartley. I trust you may remember all that you have heard in this room. It may be useful to you"
 Harry at once made his escape from the drawing room, and as he ran up- stairs he could hear the generals voice upraised in Reclamation and the thin tones of Lady Vandeleur planting icy repartees at every opening. How cor dially he admired the wife! How skill fully she could evade an awkward question! And with what secure ef- frontery she repeated her instructions under the very guns of the enemy! And, on the other hand, how he detest- ed the husband!
 There had been nothing unfamiliar in the mornings events, for he was continually in the habit of serving Lady Vandeleur on secret missions, principally connected with the milli- nery. There was skeleton in the house, as he well knew. The bottom

HARRY CAVE HIMSELF UP FOR LOST.

days wTrn dencaLe woman, anu prIn- cipally occupied about trimmings, was to inhabit an enchanted isle among the storms of life.
 One fine morning he came into the drawing room and began to arrange some music on the top of the piano. Lady Nandeleur, at the other end of the apartment. was speaking somewhat eagerly with her brother, Charlie Pen- dragon, an elderly young man, much broken with dissipation and very lame of one foot. The private secretary, to whose entrance they paid no regard, could not aysid overhearing part of their conversation.
 To-day or never" said the lady. ''Once and for all, it shall be done to- day..
 To-day, if it must be-" replied the brother, with sigh. "But 1t is false step, ruinous step, Clara, and we shall live to repent it dismally."
 Lady Vandeleur looked her brother steadily and somewhat strangely in the face.
 ''You forget" she said. "The man must die at last"
 Upon my word, Clara" said Pen dragon, "I believe you are the most heartless rascal in England"
 "You men," she returned, fare so coarseiy built that you can never ap- preciate shade of meaning You are yourselves rapacious, violent, immodest, careless of distinction, and yet the least thought for the future shocks you in a woman. have no patience with such stuff. You would despise in common banker the imbecility that you expect to find in us."
 , You are very likely right" replied | her brother. "You were always clev- erer than I. And, anyway, you know my motto, The family before all.'"
 ''Yes, Charlie" she returned, taking his hand in hers, T know your mcttc better than you know it yourself. And l Clara before the fanilyv Is not that the second part of it? Indeed you are the best of brothers, and I love you dearly"
 MT. Pendragon got up, looking little confused by these family endearments
 "I had better not be seen," said he 'T understand my part to miracle and I'll keep an eye on the Tame Cat.' "Do," she replied. "He is an abjeci creature and might ruin all.' She kissed the tips of her fingers tc him daintily, and the brother withdrew by the boudoir and the back stair.

less extravaganza and the unknown liabilities of the wife had long since swallowed her own fortune and threat ened day by day to engulf that of the husband. Once or twice in every year exposure and ruin seemed imminent, and Harry kept trotting round to all sorts of furnishers' shops telling small Abs and paying small advances on the gross amount until another term was tided over, and the lady and her faith full secretary breathed again. For Harry, in double capacity, was heart and soul upon that side of the war. Not only did he adore Lady Vandeleur and fear and dislike her husband, but he naturally sympathized with the love of flnery, and his own single ex- travagance was at the tailor's. He found the bandbox where it had been described, arranged his toilet with care and left the house. The sun shone brightly. The distance he had to travel | was considerable, and he remembered | with disrnay that the generals sudden l irruption had prevented Lady Vande | leur from giving him money for cab. | On this sultry day there was every chance that his complexion would suf- fer severely, and to walk through so 1 much of London with bandbox on his arm was a humiliation almost in- supportable to youth of his character. He paused and took counsel with him. self. The Vandeleurs lived in Eaton place. His destination was near Not ting Hill. Plainly he might cross the park by keeping well in the open and avoiding populous alleys, and he thank I ed his stars when he reflected that it was still comparatively early in the day.
 l Anxious to be rid of his incubus, he l walked somewhat faster than his or l dfnary, and he was already some way through Kensington gardens when In a solitary spot among trees he found himself confronted by the general. l T beg your pardon, Sir Thomas" observed Harry politely, falling on one side, for the other stood directly in his path.
 Where are you going, sir?' asked l the general.
 q am taking q little walk among the trees,'' replied the lad.
 l The general struck the bandbox with his cane.
 "With that thing?'' he cried. "You lie, sir, and you know you lie"
 Indeed, Sir Thomas" returned Har- ry, II am not accustomed to be ques- toned in so high g, key.''
 ''You do not understand your posi- tion," said the general. You are my servant, and servant of whom have conceived the most serious suspicious. How do know but that your box is full of teaspoonsY

 .''It is another of our great secrets, she went on archiy, 'and no one must know of it but my secretary and me. Sir Thomas would make the saddest disturbance, and If you only knew how weary I am of these scenes! Oh, Har- ry, Harry, can you explain to me what makes you men so violent and unjust? But, indeed, know you cannot. You are the only man in the world who knows nothing of these shameful pas slons. You are so good, Harry, and so kind! You, at least, can be woman's friend. And, do you know, think you make the others more ugly by com parison."

 She paused long enough to let her 1 words take effect in Harry's sentimen- tai quarters, but not long enough to al- l low him reply.
