Pn1iteness An Aftitnds.

Politeness appears to be what goodness
really is, and IS an attitude rather than an
action. Fine breeding is not the mere
learning of any code OF manners any more
than gracefulness is the mere learning Of
any kind Of physical exercise. The gentle
man apparently as the Christian really,
things Of others, and the selfish person Is
always both un-Christian and ill-bred.-El.

with an angry color rising in her checks
delighted, Of course! I've observed hat
you always would be delighted to go out
with me on Saturday evening only you're
engaged"
Captain Farquhar applied himself to the
%claret, and made no answer. He was nst
blind to hat angry color rising in his
pretty wife's face, and beirs a young mar
of a peaceful disposition, notwithstanding
that his profession was that of war, he
took refuge in a wise silence.
It is not to be denied that silence wa
a very easy thing to him, for as a rule he
had nothing whatever to say. His claims
to the admiration Of society consisted II
the superb proportions of his form, the
magnilicence of his mustache, and the per
feet fit Of his clothes.
Mrs. Farquhar, on the contrary, had {

Am l to go alone with Lord Ferdie?'
she asked presently. =.
"'Pon my soul, Bess, I don't know. He:

wouldn't look we'll"
"a harmless chap!" echoed Mrs. Far
quhar, In such a tone that the captain
opened his eyes wider than usual.
"You want some sort of a ,sheep-dog,
s'pose, Bess?" he added thoughtfully.

"Well?'
Don't go with Mrs. vane and Ferdie.'
Tell me where you are going, Gregory.
and I-well, I'll try and get somebody
else"
The captain opened his mouth as II to
speak. then shut 1t again.
He looked at his wife In a hesitating sort
of way, grew a trlfle redder than usual.
and at last relapsed into the old formula
Very s~orry-can't.'
Mrs. Farquhar made him a profound
courtesy, and then left the room.
She went upstairs to her dressing room
and rang the bell. When her maid came,
the door was locked and she was told to
GO away again. Fol Mrs. FarQuhar, to
her own surprise, had burst into a pas
sion OF weeping.
After a few minutes this stopped as
suddenly as 1t began. She rose hurriedly,
opened the door, and set it ajar. Then She
| quietly and quickly got a long dark travel
ing cloak and wrapped 1t round her, put
a little black hat on her heat, and tied
a thick veil over her face. She snatched
up her purse and gloves, and then went
outside her door and stood listening.
In a little while she heard the captain
come out into the hall, take his hat, and
open the front door.
Swiftly and softly she crept down the
stairs. AS he closed the front door che
reached it, and after waiting a moment
opened 1t very gently, went out. and rs

with resolution, her heart quailed within
her. How would it end? What would she
learn tonight?
Strange as 1t may seem, Bess Farquhar
cared not one farthing for any man in the
world but her own handsome guardsman;
and though she pretended to have the
fashionable failing of a low of admiration,
lshe3was perfectly Indifferent to the wor-
ship Of all the gay chappies of the day,
If the especial one of her own heart had
Indeed grown tired Of her.
She felt sure he had. She only wanted
to a facts, instead of feelings, to go
upon; and then, she resolved she would
throw aside her lingering scruples and
drown her regrets for the past in the ex-
elements Of the present. She was max
ing a good beginning certainly in her pro-
gram Of dissipation.
Her mind was a perfect blank to the
fact that Lord Ferdie would expect her to
be in that box at the st. JONES 'theater
tonight.
Very certainly she would not be there,
for it was now nearly the time of the
performance. and she was speeding away
cityward along the Bayswater road. along
Oxford street-on-on.
How much further?" she thought to
herself. with a rather frightened feeling.
To tell the truth, she had expected to be
taken nOrtN 10 the CndILulIB pISSLiCb VI

1t was a clear, fine night. and she kept
her eyes steadily fixed upon the hanson

They got into Holborn, on a straight
line, over the yiaduct. down Newgate

Farquhar began to find she was more
frightened than anything else.
How deserted 1T looked; this place that
