Poor lonely little child" he thought. The
dreamer that | years ago-before that other life
blotted my best dreams into mist, and made me the
man L was-the man L am-and not the man that
God intended me to be. "
Again his expression changed, and, stepping near

little use my child. Most of begin with them when
we are children We toddle into the world, and our
paby hands quick to build our castles in the air
At first we cry as watch them fall to peces-but,
being only children and full of hope, pick up the
scattered bricks and begin again. We leave off cry
ing soon and soon leave off building and we are
content to see the ruins of castles tramped under
foot. You have your castles STILL and they are cob
webbed in the air like fairy visons but leave off
buildng-let the castles go They will only fall in
the end, and when they fall establishment will sad

She was listening breathlessly. Her hands had left
his now, and clasped upon her breast Her great
eyes-from which the light of woman s interrupted
soul looked out-were fixed his as if magnetic
focus held them there.

1T is to nature l had to tonight for in
spiration, - he said, kindly. Her moods are far
more suited to my own than man s. There never was
sympathlzer like her. Look how the little flowers
droop their heads when you dull and lonely; and
when you are feeling good and sweet, they laden all
the air with sweetest perfume No woman S tears
could drop more gently than the dew; and in the
touch of the gentle breeze feel the sympathetic
kiss of an unknown sympathizer-the hidden angel
coming with soothing to the tired brain and heart.
How beautifully you put t!'' murmured Lady
Sylvia ''You make the poetry of night seem far
more real when you talk like that. There is no one
else to see it as you have done They call it foolish
when I dream of lovely things; and when I talk of
all the mysteries of life they do not understand.
They say that l am young, and do not know the
world They want to make the moonlight look dark
and cold They want to take the glitter from the
sunshine. They say only look at life through
mrror-that my vision of it is perverted-and they
want to turn me round to see it all another way.

years of acting had taught him to concea but as the

He drew out his watch hurriedly 1t was time for

it doesn t satisfy
AS Herr Goshen looked and listened he realized the
only castle that a of this kind could make her
home in-the only which would give her refuge
in life s battering storms-and as he realized it
strong temptation him to show to her fresh
young mind the beauty of this CASTLE to take her
through the locked doors into the sunlight of the
Locked rooms and there to leave her.

dark passionate eyes were rveted on the beauty OF
the world without, and for the moment his thoughts
were lost to the mansion which lay behind him
the mansion holding little world within its four
walls-a world of perfume, and of paint and powder;
of artfce and cruel charms; of satin slippers and
of ieweled hair; of untrue hearts and lives. The
butterfly world, drinking from the cup of pleasure,
as bee drinks greedily the honey from the flowers
world in which home life meant nothing, and to the
women of which motherhood had sacred meaning.
Herr Goshen lived in such world and he was of
it, and yet he was ever conscious of far greater
world-of a far greater work which lay beyond the
heated rooms where, behind the scent of lilies and
geraniums he led his orchestra and bowed to the APP

was always striving between two lives
the life lived for appreciation, and the
greater life beyond it, where that part
of his genius which too early step to
fame had pushed into the background
could soar aloft, and where, no longer
pandering to the public S whims, he
could become the man that he had
dreamed he would be.
For a few moments rest during the
interval, while his men were refreshing
themselves with champagne and ices, he
had strayed into the valley of solitude,
seeking his inspiration where he always
found it-among the treasures of ma
ture, and beneath the starlit heavens.
His face, which in the full light had
a touch of the coarseness of high living,
was spiritualized by the beauty of the
night. There was a smile lurking round
his lirs. He was thinking of his music
lie was no longer conductor now. He
had the audience to himself; and once
again, as his firm, light fingers swept
the harp strings, and his magnetic eyes
looked at the audience, he had that little
world of women at his feet.
Once again his proud heart was glow
ing over the small vanities of such a
life and, in spite of all, he was swept
back again by the stronger tide, and the
flicker of the greater light far in the
distance was washed away.
He heard the soft approach of foot
steps, and, almost before he knew it, a
tiny hand, white as a snowflake, was
laid upon his arm. OF course, his
whereabouts had been discovered. In
spite of all our loneliness in life, soil
tude when most desired is the rarest
jewel we can find. But the first bird
that calls us from our sleep, to tell us

WHEN Lord Robertshaw met his intended wife the
