I 7n spite of myself my lils quivered
I
, ns l uttered his name , but my mother
I did not notice it. I did not distress
ltcr by crying out the truth-that I
llatl been willing to barter the happiness -
ness of my whole life for one month's
bliss ; it would have broken Iher heart.
T told her no untruth , I did not even
-deceive her , for I had never dreamed
-of any return for my great love. I
, never misunderstood his kindness or
his gay , chivalrous fashion. It would
4oon be over now ; no need to break
.mt mother's heart as well as my own.
I The beautiful month was drawing to
a
: an end , but before any of us had begun -
gun to realize what the parting would
plc like , Lord Latimer introduced a
new feature. One day , just before
dinncr. Captain Fleming had gone into
the library to speak to him. Colonel
! North followed. Business of some
kind took Lady Latimer and myself
there ; we had a lively conversation ;
the old lord seemed pleased and
.chcered.
" 1 consider , " lie said , "that this
shooting party has been a great sue-
. cess. Lionel , you must come back at
'Christmas-come for some weeks , and
; help Lady Latimer with her charades
-and plays. Come with him , Colonel
tiortlh.
I saw the colonel look first at Lady
Latimer. Her beautiful eyes smiled
uponhim. .
"I shall bo only too delighted , " he
replied ; and that was how it happened
that parting lost its pain. ,
Little matter if they left when September -
; tember was over if they returned for
Christmas. When the end came , and 1
-the day dawned on which they left
Lorton e Cray , it was with smiles , not
'tear3 the saw them ride away. A few
-weeks. only a few , and they returned i
for even a longer stay.
It was a strange calm after they
hal gore. We were not unhappy or
dull ; a new order of things set in. We
I wcre always thinking b of and 1n'e1Tar-
ing for ( 'hristmas and the New Year.
I "We will have such a Christmas as
tmas never been celebrated in England
befor'ef , " said Lady Latimer to me.
' 11'c will have the old 'banqueting-hall
; made into a theater : we will have cha- '
fades , masquerades and theatricals ;
-we will dance and sing. When it is
: frosty. we will skate. Then the snow

; gbot talcs. Oh , Audrey , how happy !

end she whose beautiful face had
urce expressed all the weariness that
I life could hold , caught me in her alms
and waltzed around the room with me.
I It wns bot't pitiful and touching. °
She thought of nothing , talked of
: nothing but Christmas ; everything re-
! ferrcd to Christmas : there was no i
: iooking beyond it. If a beautiful cos-
tumc was sent from London or Pat-is.1
-it.was reserved for Christmas. 1 i
f I think the end of the world will
I 'cone a1 Christmas , Lady Latimer . , " I
said. 11'e are making such preparations -
: tions for it. "
She laughed gaily. She was always I
; Ianbninb now , and a street , glad con- i
: tent rested on her fair face. +
I never know before , " she cried ,
"what a happy time Christmas was ,
Audrey ; ' and then her face flushed t
. " 11'e used to hang tip what I
twe called 'a kissing bunch' at home. "
. - - So did we , " I answered , and my
Yace grew even redder than hers. i
. . .1-I suppose , " she said ; after a 1
time. "that we could not do such a
thing.here at Lorton's Cray. It seems
to me , Audrey , the grander a house is ,
-the more miserable it is. Think of the f
: merriment at your house at Christmas.
'I3mt .we shall be haipv. 1Vhat do you
-think of a kissing bunch ? "
41 we have one atall , " I answered ,
discreetly. "it must be called a mistle- '
, t9C bough ? " !
"Well , what do you think of a i
mi.tlctge bough ? " she asked. I
I thought it delightful , and told
: hcr ; o. 1
Then she drew nearer to me. She
-took my arms , and laid them round 1
her neck.
"Auclrey , ? ' she whispered , "if we
have a nhisiletoe bough , will any one
; piss us , do you think-you and. me ? "
"Lord ratimer may , " I answered
dryly.
"Any one else ? " she asked. But I
would not smile. "I know t omo people -
ple so lovable , " she said , "that to
stand under the mistletoe for two
minutes with them would atone for
years of unhappiness. "
"I am sorry that I do not know any
one of that description , " I answered.
I was always careful-always discreet.
But , for all that , when the orders
were given for the Christmas evergreens -
greens , there was a large one for
mistletoe.
CHAPTER IN.
Every day Christmas came nearer
and nearer-every day the face of
beautiful Lady Latimer grew fairer
and younger , more bright and more
radiant-every day she woke up with
fresh plans and ' fresh designs-every
day she found some new beauty , some
new happiness in time coming Christ-
mas-tide. And all this because she
had learned to lore Colonel North
without knowing it. At last Christmas -
mas came ; and brought them both
with it.
The snow and the biting frost had
i come , the ice was inches thick on the
deep mei'es and pools round Lorton's
Cray , and Lorton 's Cray itself was a
scene of merriment and festivity. A
large Christmas party was gathering
under its roof.
Lady Latimer was one of the most
charming of hostesses. Lord Latimer
took very little part in it ; he dined ,
as usual , with his guests , and then re-
tired. IIe never came to the drawing-
room , but once or twice had made his
way to the billiard-room.
I may have been prejudiced , but to
me he seemed more morose and more
stern than ever. It may be that it
angered him to see youth and nnerri-
nlent all round him , yet not be able to
share in it.
There was nothing to mar the hap-
piness. If Lord Latimer heard the
sounds of music , dancing and son ; , he
made no comments , and the old walls
rocked again with Christmas fun and
merriment. Our boys shared it. Lady
Latimer never left them out , when it
was practicable to have them there.
They were at most of the skating-
parties , and caused unlimited fun. I
noticed one thing , and admired their
good sense ; they had entirely ceased
to advise me over marrying , and were
content to take timings as they were.
The dear boys ! I can see them now
on the ice , with great red worsted
comforters , and hands perfectly blue
with cold , yet happy as kings. They
saw nothing of the shadow that hung
over Lortoh's Cray , but I did , and I
was powerless to prevent it.
I can not tell exactly how I saw it
deepen , but the time came when I
could thick of nothing else. I placed
my own lore story aside to devote myself -
self to her. I can not tell either when
I first grew alarmed , and began to
watch other people , to see if they
were watching her. But no , the
world went on its way rejoicing , and
no one saw that a soul was in danger
but myself-unconsciously so ; that I
shall always maintain-nevertheless ,
in peril so great that the very angels
in heaven looked on in pity.
The first time that I was alarmed
was one lovely frosty nhorning when
the sun shone on the snow , and the
hoar-frost had silvered the trees and
hedges , and the icicles hung like huge
diamonds. A walk through Lorton
woods had been proposed , and when
we were all ready to start , Colonel
North was absent. I shall never forget -
get Lady Latimer's face - all the
brightness died from it , all the animation -
tion vanished. It was plain enough to
be seen that time walk had lost all its
interest for her.
' .It is bitterly cold , " she said to me ,
with a shudder. "I am not at all sure
whether we are wise in going. "
Quite suddenly he came upon us : lime
had been to the stable to give some
direction about his horses. No need
to speak. I turned aside with a groan.
If all heaven had been suddenly
opened to her. she could not have
looked morn delighted ; her very soul i
seemed to shine in her eyes as they
rooted on him.
' I thought we had lost you , " she
said.
i
Ile took her arm m his , and with
i
laughing gallantry , said :
"You may lose your memory , Lady
Latimer. but you will never lose me. "
And though he laughed , I knew the
words were true.
They went off together , forgetting
all the world. All me ! And I , who
loved her better than I loved my life ,
stood by , powerless to help her. But
the truth was apparent ; she had
learnei to love Colonel North-uncon-
sciously I know-and lie loved her. I '
was as young as herself , but it seemed
to me that the entire responsibility of
her rested on my shoulders. t
What should I do ? I could not go
to the old lord and. say , "Rouse yourself -
self ; the beautiful young child whom
you have made your wife is in deadly
peril. She married you without love i
and she has learned unconsciously
what love is since thorn. Save her , for I
she is in mortal peril. " Heaven only !
knows what would happen ; he was not
that kind of man. Some nhen would
l
have been noble , tolerant , generous-
noitld have hem1pcd her out of the danger -
ger : not Lord Latimer ; there was very
little nobility of soul about him. Ii I
had gone to her and said : "My dear , I
von are in deadly danger b : you are mar- j
Tied to a man older than your father ,
whom 'von do hot love. and you have
found one whom you do love , " I might.
by suddenly opening her eyes , do far
mbre harm than good , and she might
( lo something desperate in her despair. i
Time only thing that seemed left for me
to do was to watch over her with devoted -
voted care and love.
More than once it occurred to me to
speak to time colonel , but it was a delicate -
cate and dangerous thing to do. I am
I quite sure that at fiat lie had no
thought of harm. Her beauty at- !
z . . , . . . , .T.
I tracted hii i , and her genuine delight
in his society urged hint on , until the
spell of passion lay upon both-and
the passion of love is a terrible one.
The shadow grew deeper and darker
to my eyes , although no one else saw
it. They were seldom apart now.
When breakfast was over lie was her
companion in all walks and drives ;
they spent the afternoon together ,
either at the piano or with books ;
when twilight fell and it was foe dark
to read , too light for lamps , they
would be found in the conservatory
talking , always talking with the same
earnest look on each beautiful face.
Many a time I have gone in search of
Iher and found her standing in the
dim light by his side , her face all
shining , and I have come away praying -
ing "Dear heaven help hem' , or she is
I
lost ! " At night she was queen of the
revels , and he was king ; they danced
together , they sung together ,
and when those to exquisite -
quisite voices went floating
through the room in one grand
unison , I knew how their souls weut
together also. A Christmas revel , a
New Year's festivity , but for them a
something which I began to fear would
have uo ending. The worst symptom ,
to my mind , was that she never spoke
of him to me. If his name was mentioned -
tioned in his absence , tire color would
rise and seem to burn her face. I
tried my best ; but what was an inexperienced -
perienced girl of IS against two peo-
pie passionately in love ?
There were times when I longed to
tell Captain Fleming of the deadly
peril so close at hand , and beg him to
induce his friend to go away ; but my
courage failed me when I would have
made time effort-I could not utter the
words.
One night-It was the winter gloaming -
ing , if there be such a time ; the lamps
were not lighted , and the rooms were
all brilliant with the red glow of the
firelight and odorous with flowers , so
wai'ln , so luxurious ; time visitors wei'e
dispersed over time house , sonic in time
billiard room and some in time nntsic
room. I went to her boudoir in search
of Lady Latimer. I had always been
accustomed to enter the roonh without
rapping at the door. I did so no. .
I turned time handle gently and went
in. They were standing together before -
fore the fire , the lamps were not
lighted , and time ruddy glow of time fire
filled the room. Their faces were
turned to the fire ; they neither saw
nor heard me ; his hand rested lightly
on her shoulder and they were talking
earnestly. I went back as quietly as
I came , but with a sword in my heart ,
for her sake. I waited one minute ,
then announced my arrival by calling ,
"Lady Latimer , are you here ? "
"lam here , dear Audrey , come in , "
was the answer.
But when I went in they stood together -
gether no longer ; he was at time window -
dow , and she sat at the table. My
heart sunk when I saw the happiness
on her face.
The charade-parties were a great
success ; so were the plays. It seemed
wonderful to me that no one else remarked -
marked how Lady Latimer and Colonel
North always took the part of lowers ;
stranger still , that no one saw how
naturally they assumed it , how , ill
playing a love scene , it was so natural
for him to throw his arm around the
beautiful figure that seemed to sway at
his least birch , how he kissed with
passion the white hand that he
clasped.
Could I alone , out of the whole
world see , or was everyone else blind ?
So the shadow deepened and dark-
cried. I was unutterably miserable ; I
began to live in constant fear. It
seemed to me there was a volcano beneath -
neath my feet.
No shadow of fear lay on Lady
Latimer's face. I shall never know
not. whether she realized the danger
and ignored it , or whether she was
ignorant of it until the end came suds
deniy.

Shamed the Duchess.
An English woman of rank-a duch-
esss-was very apt to forget to pay
her bills. A hnilli'ner , whose large
bill had been repeatedly ignored by
the duchess , at last determined to send
her little girl , a pretty child of ten
years , to beg for the money which
was so much needed. ' Be sure to say
'your grace to the duchess , " said the
anxious mother , and the chill gravely
promised to remember. 1171en , after
long waiting , she was ushered into
the duchess' presence , the little girl
dropped a low courtesy , and then ,
folding her ] hands and closing her eves ,
she said , softly : "For what I am
about to. receive may the Lord make
me truly thankful. " As she opened
her eyes and turned her wistful gaze
on the duchess , that light-hearted person -
son flushed very red , and , without
delay made out a check for the amount
due to the milliner.-Argonaut.

AN ACTOR'S DAILY MAIL.
Advice Freely Given , Assistance Asked
and Free Tickets Demanded.
Most persons who are In any way in
the public eye are constantly in receipt
of curious communications , sonic amusing -
ing and some otherwise. There are numerous -
merous persons who will write to anybody -
body on the slightest provocation , and
the fact that they are unknown to the
persons whom they address is apparently -
ly of little moment , says the New York
World. Since W. H. Crane has returned -
turned to time city he has been in receipt -
ceipt of a large number of letters every
day , and two-thirds of them come from
persons who are unknown to him. The
other morning the comedian sat in his
room in tike Fifth Avenue theater
opening his mail. He came to one letter -
ter that made him angry. "Just read
that , he exclaimed , and he handed
over the following :
"Your play is an insult to any man
who has got a daughter. Why should
a father ever be compelled to give up
his child ? Why should he be prevented
from making her happy , even after she
is married ? Is she not still his ? Your
play is far fetched , despite the Bible or
anything else. " The writer's name is
withheld.
"Imagine a man being as silly as
that , " went on time comedian. " His
Wife's Father" is intended to show such
owl fools the error of their ways , and
he resents it. It is the old thing about
the truth being bitter ,
"All ! read this ! " he exclaimed a'no-
ment later. This letter was from a
womman , and was as follows :
"I saw your play last night , and I
must say you deserve credit for showing -
ing that there is something worse than
a meddlesome mother-in-law in the
world , and that something is an old
fool of a man. My son-in-law is going
1 to propose that you form an association -
tion for putting down objectionable
parents. "
"That association is going to have a
pretty big job on its hands. Read this , "
he said :
"If you will remember , on Tuesday
night the close of the third act vras
marred by some indiscriminate applause -
plause by a man in the orchestra. I
was that man , and I offer an explana-
tion. When the young husband started -
ed in to go for the old fool for meddling
in this domestic affairs he struck a soft
spot in me , for I have a father-in-law.
To see the old man catch it so elated
me , and I could not help applauding ,
though I little knew it would cause such
a laugh , I have been thinking of giving -
ing the old man rats , but I guess it will
be better for me take him to see the
play. Excuse me for bothering you. "
Another letter was from a man who
found fault with the fact that a certain
character appeared in one of the scenes
and still another told of a piece of
stage business that would create a big
laugh. There were a lot of applications -
tions for positions from aspiring young
men and women , a few requests for
help and a lot of requests for tickets ,
All of the letters , except those of the
deadheads , were answered.
CAGING WILD BEASTS.
how the Aninutls Are ] InIldlcd al Jazu-
rach's in London.
A. writer in Little Folks , who paid a
visit to Jamrach s wild beast establisn-
ment , in London , has this to say : Now
there are at time moment I am writing
two beautiful Bengal tiger cubs in one
of the cages. The cubs are old enough
to be dangerous , so if I tell you the way
I saw them put into the cage they now
inhabit , you will know a little of how
wild animals are transferred from one
place of confinement to another. The
boxes that tigers and lions come in are
not very big-just big enough to allow
the inmates to lie comfortably. This , besides -
sides saving freight , prevents the animal -
mal from using his full strength , and
perhaps , in case of fright or' frenzy ,
from bursting the box. Well , the box
with the tiger cubs was placed in front
of , and partly in , the open cage. A sliding -
ing door in the box was then lifted , and
the cubs darted forward at the meat
that was lying in the far corner of the
cage to tempt them. Meanwhile the box
was quickly withdrawn and the barred
gate of the cage as quickly shut , It is
easy , however , to transfer an animal
from a confined box to a large cage. He
is going then from captivity to comparative -
parative liberty. It is not so easy-in-
deed it is extremely dif , ult-to get him
to go through the reverse process to
walk from a large cage into a box. If
there be time , he can always be made
to do it quietly enough.
Give him no food i n time large cage ,
but put it in the box. He may even
hold out for days ; hunger , however , will
prove in the end stronger than his fears ,
and he will , with a growl , make a dash
for the joints , when the trap will be
closed against him. It isn't always posy
sible to wait for hunger to matte him
submit. Perhaps the animal is wanted
tomorrow , and the dealer has got the
order only today and must catch a train
with him at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
What is to be done now ? Here man's
superior intelligence shows itself. It is
fear that prevents the animal from entering -
tering the box , and this fear must be
overcome by a greater fear. This is an
easy matter to the animal dealer with
his knowledge of animals , He simply
sets light to a little bundle of dry straw
in the cage-this is enough-the ani-
mal's fear of fire makes him fly at any
outlet of escape ,
Dreamed of the Coming Disaster.
Second Engineer Wilson De Hart , of
the fated steamer Longfellow , lives
with his wife and children at 12G West
Eighth street , and was among time

His wife dreamed Wednesday night
that the boat was lost with all on board
and it preyed so on her mind all day
Thursday that slime tried to persuade
her husband not to make the trip.
After bidding him good-by on the boat
she told the chief engineer , Dan Halley -
ley , of her dream , and with tears in her
eyes , begged that he endeavor to influence -
ence her husband to remain at home ,
as she knew the boat would be lost.
On learning of the accident she ran almost -
most all the way to Promley in her
endeavor to keep Pace with the floating -
ing wreck , and was almost wild with
grief before the news of her husband's
rescue reached her , and she then refused -
fused to be convinced until he was
brought to her.

Story of the Princess of Raley.
The following pretty story is told of
the Princess ofVales , to illustrate her
knowledge of housewifely duties : The
princess visited an old protege of hers ,
living iii one of the cottages at Sand-
ringham. 'r'ime good ( lame was knitting
a stocking , and the princess took it
out of her hand , saying : "You can't
( lo the heel as fast as I can. " And she
sat and chatted with the old lady ,
knitting the nattiest heel possible. It
is needless to say that sacred stocking
is treasured in a drawer with the
needles just as the princess left them.
The story is all right enough in its
way , but time pessimist would be inclined -
clined to believe that it was an excellent -
lent display of advertising enterprise
on the part of time good dame , and that
already that royal stocking has been
sold to at least a score of relic hunters.
