CHAPTER II.
BY Special Dispatch.


In all eras and all climes q woman of
great genius or beauty has done what she
chose. -Ouida.
Nicholas" said Calhoun, turning
to me suddenly, but with his invari-
able kindness of tone, "oblige me to-
night | have written a message here.
You will see the address,

ladys name" / hesitated.
"You will find the lady's name above

me. Yes, your errand is to bring the

apartments, to his house, at time
past the hour of midnight. That gen.
tleman is myself. You must not take
any answer in the negative
AS sat dumbly, holding this sealed
document in my hand, he turned to DR..
Ward, with nod toward myself.
81 choose my young aide, Mr.. Trist
here, for good reasons. He is just
back from six months in the wilder
ness, and may be shy: but once he
had a way with women, SO they tell
me-and you know, in approaching
the question ad feminau we operate
per hOminem.
DR.. Ward took snuff with violence
as he regarded ne critically.
81 do not doubt the young mans sim
cerity and faithfulness," said he. Il
was only questioning one thing
"Yes?"
His age
Calhoun rubbed his chm. 'Nicho-
las" he said, you heard me. | have
no wish to cucumber you with useless
instructions Your GRAND is before
you. Very much depends upon it, as
you have heard. All can say is, keep
your head. keep your feet, and keep
your heart"
now, and smiled at me in a manner
not wholly to my liking. Neither was
this errand to my liking.
It was true, | was hardly arrived
home after many months in the west;
but I had certain plans of my own for
that very night, and although as yet |
had made no definite engagement with
my fiancee, Miss Elizabeth Churchill
of Elmburst farm for meeting her at
the great ball this night, such GER
tainly was my desire and my inten-
ton Why, | had scarce seen Eliza
beth twice in the last year.
He might be older" said Calhoun
at length, speaking Of me as though l
were not present. And tbs a hard
game to play, if once my lady Helen
takes it into her merry head to make
it so for him. But if | sent one shorter
of stature and uglier of visage and
with less art in approaching a crino-
line-why, perhaps he would get no
farther than her door. No; he will
serve--he must serye,"
He arose now, and bowed to us
both, even as | rose and turned for
my cloak to shield me from the raw
lrizzle which then was falling in the
streets
So this, then, was my errand. My
mind still tingled at it's unwelcome
quality. Dr. Ward guessed something
Of my mental dissatisfaction.
Never mind, Nicholas said he, as
we parted at the street corner, where
ne climbed into the rickety carriage
which his colored driver held await
ing him. Never mind. l don't my
self quite know what Calhoun wants;
but he would not ask of you anything
personally improper Do his errand,
then. 1t is part of your work. In any
case" and | thought ! saw him grin

night which you will remember

from falling. I grew worse and for
