 She became calm: her pale face va axpressonless, her movements mea. lred.

 No more love, not another tendt ceiling shall creep in my heart" H. syes glowed fiereely.

 After a few minutes work before her mirror, she emerged from her room as rosy-cheeked as ever and smiling. At first her steps were slow, but they soon duickened. and by the time she arrived at the concert hall nobody could have told that she had gone through terrible ordeal
 The last entertainer was leaving | No one, save Mir. Hale, knew Of her long absence from the hall When she met Astra she felicitated her on the success of the concert. l When the guests had left, Astra and the countess retired into the little room that was reserved for family occasions.
 You will soon be the happiest woman on earth, my dear," remarked Rositts, casually.
 1 am happy now. my dear girl." umiled Astra.
 "The gods have given you a won- derful temperament my dear Astra. You. with your calm, serene nature. were created to be happy You sim ply shed the difficulties of life"
 "Why, dear, are you unhappy"
 unhappy" A sigh escaped the countess lips, spark of fire gleamed in her eyes, then a smile parted her coral lips. "A person with tempera- mcnt like mine never could be happy. My selfish mind eraves just the thing some one else has and if I should rob that person I would get tired Of the object and cast 1t away" She looked at Astra, but Astra only smiled serenely, not taking Rositta's remarks seriously.
 Such is my fate, my dear. Tell me. am l responsible for being such an unhappy combination? Am I to be judged by the same measure as you. who cannot help but be good?'

Ma. poleon talked for the first time abont his love for her. hstra wns calm, but she rose quiotty and stood looking at the pulsating city below them. Their love had been understood between them, although they had never spoken Of it. Yet it made her heart throh with happiness to hear lse tender words. He. rose and gently taking her arm, they walked among the plants that grew on the roof. A faint sound of music came to their ears.
 Have you ever thought of the fin ture?" asked Napoleon, after silence.
 T have, Napoleon. l have thought, that when we have finished our task. when We have done the things my father wished done for the good of the United Republics, then We may retire to that little island where your mother lives, and rest and be happy until the end of our days. There your genius will create new, useful things that will make humanity happier. things that will help eradicate poverty and misery"
 Dear girl! I have a .premonition that the days you dream of are still far off; that those intriguers in Eu- rope are planning and scheping and that when wa la.st es.rect it. trouble
