Her face gIowed with savage salts
faction at the bare thought of so COM
plete a revenge. She left her seat by the
bay window of Pauline's dressing room,
and paced up and down, her excitement
being too great for her to remain still.
The dusky gloom deepened until the room
was all in shadow. and presently a house
maid came in and lighted the candles in
the large silver branches on the toilet
table.
As the door closed behind the maid Ba-
bette resumed her promenade, and came
10 a sudden stop as her eyes rested on
the key left in the lock of small bronze
box. This box contained Miss Mailing
private keys! She locked up very little;
but what she did lock up she was rather
particular about, and her keys were in
yariably kept in this Indian box, the
key Of which she carried about with
her.
AS Babette stood looking with a dull,
fascinated gaze at the key, she heard
the rustic of silken skirts in the gallery
outside. With a swoop like a hawks,
so swift and noiseless was it, she pluck
ed the little key from the lock and slip
ped it into the pocket of her dainty frill-
ed apron. The next instant Miss Mailing
turned the handle of the door and saw
Babette rearranging the lace draperies
round the looking glass She crossed the
room and went straight to the table,
glanced quickly at the box, and then
turned to Babette

hands and shook it. Yes, the keys are
inside. Babette, l wish you not to leave
these rooms tonight until l come up

where. l don't suppose it will be found
until we have daylight to help us-it is
so small. Have your supper sent up to
you here"
VERY good, mademoiselle."
Babette stood with her hands held
tightly over her heart, listening to the
rustic Of the silken skirts along the gal
lery and down the stairs Then her
expression changed from strained atten-
ton to vivid triumph. She threw her
clasped hands high over her head She
locked both doors, closed one window to
prevent the blinds from f1uttering, and
then unlocked the small bronze box. She

explanation"
SO Ethel went bravely about her home
duties, though her very lips were white
with the restraint she was putting on
her feelings. She tried with all her
strength of mind she possessed to put her
humiliating grief away from her.
why should | sorrow for him if he
can throw me off without one word of
regret? she asked herself, angrily.
Still, in spite of her determine ton to
crush her love under the weight of her
self-respect, she now and again felt as
if her heart would break. She resolute-
ly denied herself the relief of tears, and
suffered far more intensely in conse-
quence.
The thrushes and the lively robins and
perky sparrows were having good time
OF it on the lawns at the Wigwam that
morning. Captain Polling was fond of
these small birds, and liked to see them
about the place, and he had determined
to do what he could to tame them dur
ing the hard winter weather, should be
decide to stay on in the Wigwam, which
he had taken furnished for six months.
He did not take much notice of the little
creatures this morning though. He was
in brown study" and sat so notion
less on his comfortable cane chair under
the veranda that the more courageous of
the birds hoped about within yard
of his feet
The fact was Captain Polling was dis
appointed. He had expected a letter
either from Ethel or Mr.. Mallett that
morning, to settle their visit on the NOR
row.
Even if they do not care to come"
he told himself they might have been
civil enough to send some conventional
excuse"
After awhile it occurred to him that
perhaps the Mallets had written, and
that the letter had miscarried-and he
felt somewhat relieved at the bare idea.
He made up his mind that he would go
up to town in any case; and as he went
along he would decide upon what course
he would pursue. And all through his
vacillation he never once admitted to
himself that it was his longing to see
Ethel again that had for the moment
transformed him into human shuttle
cock.
Notwithstanding a short notice, the
phaeton was ready a minute before the
appointed time, looking perfect in every
detail Polling had the reins in his hand
and his foot on the step. when he noticed
a telegraph boy coming toward the house.
He waited a moment. Yes, it was for
him.

A writer who spends his summers at
the seashore tells the following story:
An ignorant countryman who saw the
sea for the first time was much i'm
pressed with the effect Of the blue
water and asked a fisherman if he

like to buy gallon to take home to
his wife. The fisherman replied, proud

he received the countryman's 80 cents.
The latter departed with his pur-
chase. Returning later in the day, af-

silent wonder at the water, which had
