wife Her son haE. taken his fathers side and her daughter, the Lady Albina she had not been permitted to see since the child was a year old.
 In telling of Lord Tinemouths WOOL ing, the Countess incidentally mention ed that he had travelled in Italy at one time under the name of Sackville. The date corresponded with that of Therese Sobieski's Florentlne marriage, and at the mention of the name of SackvilIe Thaddeus fell back on the sofas, every feature fixed In dismay.
 What is the matter?' cried the Countess in alarm. Are you iil?"
 Pray, madam. go on." gasped Thad- deus Tt is nothing. I am subject to these attacks" But a bolt of in- delible disgracekhad struck to his heart as the conclusion forced itself upon him that the disreputable Earl of Tine mouth was his father.
 Lady Tinemouth, interested herself in behalf of the exile, procured him a position as teacher of German to the two daughters of Lady Dundas, widow of Sir Hector Dundas, in Harley street. He found the family very rich and vulgar one. The elder daughter was a blue stocking of shallow attainments, and the younger, Miss Euphemia, a silly, romatic young person full of IdlS6 SenlllICnIs anu SOihAhO0AAJ AoAAAH . In love and out again.
 Miss Dundas and her mother and most of their guests, who were gener- ally of the same social standing as themselves, treated Thaddeus haughtily and took every opportunity to humiliate him and make him feel that he was an inferior. But Miss Euphemia at once fell violently in love with the romatic- looking Pole wrote poetry to him, tried btrn iV1tn n = sion and caused him far more annoy for his family Mary considered the visit she was making to Harley street as one of duty-to please Sir Robert.

 Lady Tinemouth was not slow to see ance by her attentions than did the others by their supercilious insolence.
 Thus .Thaddeus now found himself with two women in love with him Lady Sara Roos and Euphemia Dundas. But one woman was married and the other was a fool, and Thaddeus had no inclination to either. Then there came to visit the Dundases young lady, who was of quite another sort; a Miss Mary Beaufort. It is not probable that Mary Beaufort would. ever have known the Dundases had 1t not happened that she was a ward and niece of Sir Robert Somerset, and that the same Sir Robert had been left by Sir Hector trustee how matters stood between the two, and after extracting from Thaddeus confession of his sentiments toward Mary she made every occasion which she could to bring the couple together, A couple of months had passed, when the rapid decline of his aged charge, General ButzoU, which ended in the death of that gallant man, kept Thad- deus from attending to his duties in Harley street for week or so. One day during his absence Miss Euphemia came rushing into Miss Beaufort's room exclaiming: "Oh, Mary! what do think has happened? MT. Constantine has been sent to prison. MT. Lascelles has just come in to dinner and he says that about a week ago he saw MT. Constantine going dowA Fleet street in the custody of two bailiffs.'
 "Oh, no-no!" exclaimed Mary. What can he have done?"
