CHAPTER Xxx.

The two men sat beside the fire al
most in silence. Jack was trying 10
get over his reluctance to go to the
Hurst, and wondering what would be-
come of him if he did not and Una left
him all alone in town; and Stephen
was wondering whether it was time to
strike the blow he meditated.
Very soon Jack jumped up.
IF you've had enough wine, let us
join the ladies'" he said, and went to-
ward the door.
Stephen followed him, but turned
hack to fetch his pocket handkerchief.
Lying beside it, on the table, was a
rose which had fallen from the bosom
of Unas dress. He took it up, ana
looked at it with that look which a
man bestows on some trifle which
has been worn by the woman he loves,
and then, as if by an irresistible i'm
pulse, raised it to his lips, kissing IL
passionately and put it carefully in his
bosom. AS he did so, he raised his eyes
10 the glass, which reflected one side
of the room, and saw the slight figure
Of woman standing in the open door
and watching him.
The light from the carefully shaded
lamp was too dim to allow him to see
the fact distinctly, but something in
the figure caused him to feel a sudden
chill.
He turned sharply and walked to the
door; but The hall was empty and there
no sound ~ ,.o+voo+iyo foO+o+o70c,
Some servant maid waiting to come
in to clear the table" he muttered.
But he returned to the dining-room
and drank off a glass of liquor before
going to the drawing-room, from which
ripples of Jacks frank laughter were
floating in the hall.
Lady Bell was seated at the piano,
playing and singing in her light
Hearted, careless fashion; Jack and
Una were seated in a dimly-lit corner,
talking in an undertone.
Stephen went up to the piano and
stood apparently listening intently, but
in reality watching the other two IN
der his lowered lids.
The presence of the rose in his
bosom seemed to heighten the passion
which burned in his heart; and the
sight Of Jack bending over Una, and
OF her rapt, up-turned face as she
looked up, drinking in his lightes,
word as if it were gospel, maddened
him.
1t was with start that he became
conscious that Lady Bell had ceased
piaying. and that she. like him. was

Il am satisfied that we now have

OF such a platform to the voters of

Several others met MI. Croker attthe

is to consolidate the party so as to put

of consolidation by splitting votes be-

strengthen Albert's resolution. At the
theater the eXhilarating music and the
glitter Of stage full of pretty girls
had their effect, and by the time the
show was over he found it impossible to
resist his friends urging that they so
around to the stage door and meet the
girls he had invited to sup with them.
Mind you, let me pay my share"
whispered Page, and then he found
himself being introduced by his first
name to two highly colored queens of
the ballet, and all four proceeded at
once to a private supper room. Albert
found the girls bright, vivacious and
expressive, as far as u superficial use
of slang goes. They ordered the choic-
est and highest priced items on the bill
Of fare and talked about their ''mashes"
in other cities in way that made AL
bert grateful that he had been intro
duced by his first name only
When in the wee small hours they
escorted the two girls to their boarding
place, Page was glad to be rid of them,
and when he reached his room he did
not feel particularly proud of himself.
He felt less SO the next morning
when he received letter from Alice
which read:
My Darling Brother-I was so pleased
when l received your loving letter and
the money you sent. You do not know
how 1t hurts me to feel we owe so much
and have cried over it more than you
will ever know. Last week received my

that kindly regard for his own welfare
did not enter into that shrewd schem-
er's calculations. He was more and
more Disguised also each day with
his employers cynical Indifference to
all sense Of honor and honesty, COM
ing to the conclusion that he was no
better than thief at heart.
Beneath Albert's disposition to adapt
himself to those, he mingled with lay
a vein Of sterling good sense, fine
honor and the energy of self sacrifice,
If necessary, and Frye's attributes
were 80 obnoxious to him as to be
simply repulsive. At college he had
never INDUCED in much ''larking," and
just why the bond of friendship be-
tween himself and the good natured,
self indulgent, happy go lucky class
mate, Frank Mason, had been cement
ed is hard to explain, except upon the
theory Of an attraction Of opposites.
When, few days later, that young
man appeared at the office just before
closing time and suggested they "go
out for nights racket" as he phrased
it. Albert was not inclined to accept.
"What are you up too" he said as
they walked away from the office,
''and what do you mean by racket?
If it's likely to be expensive, count
me out; l can't afford it,"
We'll" answered Frank lightly, "you
are working too hard and need shak-
ing up, SO l thought I'd drop round
and do it, We will dine at the club,
then so to the opera house, where
there is burlesque on and no end
Of pretty chorus girls. 1 know two
or three of them. and after the show
we will take them out to supper"
Its all right except the end-up,"
answered Albert, ''and on that l think
you had best skip me. AS l said, it's
diversion | can't afford. I've no
money to spare to buy wine for ballet
girls"
"Oh, that's all right" responded
Frank cheerfully. "I've asked you out,
and its my treat. I'll pay the shot
this time"
81 shall pay my share if co." as
serted Albert firmly, 'but 1 would rath-
er omit the after part. We will have the
evening together, and then you can go
and entertain your chorus girls, and I'll
so to my room."
1t was laudable resolution, but it
came hard, for beneath all Albert's
good resolves was lurking desire for a
little excitement to break the dull mo-
notony of his life. He had been to the
theater only twice since he came to
Boston, desiring to save IL every way
he could, and only the week before had
sent Alice one-third of his first months
salary. At the club Frank introduced
him to several of his friends, and Of
course they were asked to Join them in

conventional black dress suit. All of
the parlor decorations were sent to
the bride from friends in California
and the arrangement was in elegant
taste. The ring ceremony was used
and the officiating pastor made it
very Impressive. All during this
ceremony Miss Murchison played
very softly on the piano.
AS soon as the happy couple were
pronounced husband and wife those
present showered upon them their
heartiest congratulations, after which
the dining room doors were thrown
open and the guests were seated
around two large tables, the brides
table being decorated with green and
white. Roses were everywhere fra
grant through the room, and during
the serving of the seven course dinner
every one made merry. About 8
O'Clock the company, which consisted
only of the near relatives of the two
families most interested and few
specially invited guests, departed for
their several homes.
These young people were the recip-
tents of many valuable and useful
presents from relatives and friends.
The bride has lived in Wright
township all her life and is most
accomplished and refined young lady.
Although being the only daughter of
indulgent and loving parents, and

she has come in contact. She is of
very lovable disposition and her 9TH

her friends of every one among her
very extensive list of acquaintance.
In her new position in life she will
