Poor Cinderella.

1t was Lord Villiars. To Joan, who
had thought of him-how often!-
during the past week, as far away.
wandering restlessly about the world
in search of he knew not what, his
presence seemed like an apparition.
Why had he come back? Why was
he there?
The question flashed across her
brain before she found voice to re-
spond to his greeting; even then she
merely looked up ard mentioned his
name, her color corning and going.
Are you surprised Miss Joan?" be
said, with faint smile. at is my fate
to startle you"
Yes she said, slowly: 81 am sur
prised, my lord" and she forced a
smile as she looked up at him.
He was dressed in evening clothes,
but still wore his cloak, and carried
his hat as if he were going to leave
rather than had just arrived: and to
Joan's eyes he looked handsomer even
than when he stood on the terrace of
the Void.
She noticed that he leant against
the corner of the recess so that he
could not be seen, and that he had
drawn the curtain until it nearly con.
cealed her also.
You are surprised" he said, still
speaking in low voice. as if he did

Because | have not been asked"
she replied, naively.
That is scarcely fair to the gentle
men, he said, considering that you
have hidden yourself away"

contentedly. 1T is a change, and it is
amusing"

but the moment the two girls saw
| it they enyied it.
: For all their elaborate founcings
and plentiful supply of lace, their
costumes looked dowdy beside Joan's
plain frock, with nothing but a simple
red blossom from one of her flowers
to relieve it.
Without word they allowed her to
arrange their cloaks, and having put
on her old frieze cape. she followed
them into the fly.
Redstaple was three miles from
Deercombe, and it seemed as if the
place had been galvanized into sudden
life, on this, the one grand night of the
year.
Everybody who could by any pos
sibility be considered anyone made a
point of being present at the Red
staple ball, and, as Julia remarked
when the fly found room to draw up at
the door, there would be a glut in the
matrimonial market that evening.
AS they ente I'd, the band was COM
mencing the third waltz, and, I'M
accustomed to the crowd Joan got
separated from the others, who were
eagerly pressing forward in the hope
OF attracting partners, and stepping
aside, seated herself in a recess.
There she could see without being
seen, and was getting much amuse-
ment from the spectacle of the hun
dred and fifty people who were at
tempting to dance within a space
barely sufficient for hundred, when
she was conscious of, rather than saw,
someone standing beside her.
She was about TO look up to see if
it should be one of the acquaintance,
when the someone bent down to her
and said, in a low voice:
Miss joan"
For moment her heart seemed to
stand still, and she could not raise her
eyes, then she looked up, and saw that
the someone was Lord Villiarsi

A Disappointed Trio.

Joan walked until she was out of
sight of the eyes she knew were
watching her from the terrace, then
she quickened her pace until it nearly
became run, and reached the Elms
breathless.
The door was open as she had left 1t
and as she entered quietly she could
hear the two girls chattering still in
the drawing-room.
She paused for moment at the
door then with strange feeling of
shyness, took the candle from the hail
table and went to her own room.
"Goodby, Miss JOAN" rang in her
ears and mingled with her dreams
when at last she fell asleep. and

"She looks as il she had caught

natural consequence of wandering
about the cliffs in such weather as last
night" said Emmeline.

A MaQpie,s Prank

Recently a South Australian tele-
graph line was seriously interfered
with by maybe. For some time the
line worked badly, and at last a tele-
graph operator was sent to examine
the wires. After searching for a few
miles, the clerk found at the top of
one Of the posts magpie's nest, most
ingeniously Constructed. The bird
had wrenched away with it's beak the
wire which bound the line to the in
sulator, and, after twisting the wire
in suitable position, built it's home
there. Considering that it is impos-
sibie for anybody to unbind the wire
without the use of pliers, the magpie's
industry and perseverance may be ad-
mired.-Gilden Penny.

The next moment the tall, over
powering figure Of Julia bore down
upon them.
Lord ViIliars, at sight of her,
stepped back, and opening the window
passed out, just as Julia, flushed and
painting, caught sight of Joan.
"Oh, Joan, look here, have torn my
dress" she said. Just pin it up for
me, will your"
Joan stopped down and pinned up
the rent, while Julia kept up an i'm
patient tattoo with her feet.
BE quick How clumsy you are,

not sharp! What a delightful ball it
is. More people than ever this year!
Did you see the Honorable Fitz-Simon,
Lord DalTympars son? He danced
the last waltz with me, and asked me
for another. He is the eldest son,
you know, and will be a viscount.
Perhaps We shall be asked to the Hall.
Have you done it quite securely ?
Thanks. Hope you are enjoying your
self" she added, amiably, over her
shoulder, as she turned away.
Eyes, thanks" said Joan, and leant
back in her corner.
That Lord Viliiars had disappeared
to avoid Julia she guessed; but would
he come back again?
