CHAPTBR XXVIII. fCoSTiNt rn.i “You are complimentary to your friend's husband.'’ “My friend!" exclaimed the girl; “ah, no, monsieur, she Is not that she is too good for that and If she used to bo his friend, tell him he ought to help h'r. She wants some one’s help." ■'Probably," returned the Scotch man; “but U’s a dangerous thing, my girl, to Interfere between husband and wife, and my friend ’’•ill do well to keep out of It. There, that will do for Mils morning, Adele,” he added, as she leaped from the rostrum; “take my advice, and say nothing of this Inci dent to madatne your friend. It may unsettle her, and make the end of her married life rather more unbearable than the beginning of It.” He lit up his pipe again and strolled carelessly about the studio until Adele hail left. Then Ills manner suddenly changed; he left the studio, rushed up a flight of stairs, and entered the lit tle snuggery above, where his com panion was silting, and clapped lilrn on the ' boulder. "Sutherland, my boy,” lie exclaimed, ^ “good i i vys.” Sutherland, awakened suddenly from bis day-dream, started from his chair. "About Marjorie?’’ he cried. “Yes,” returned his friend with a smile, “about Marforie. I have been talking this morning with a woman who is o re of her intimate friend*." “Where is she?" exclaimed Suther land. "Let mo ne her." "Now. look here, tny good fellow,” returned the other, "you must sit down and C’asc to excite yourself. Moreover, you must work cautiously, or my prize may turn out a blank. Yes, I have discovered in the model Adeie one who may tell you just what you want to know who is often in the house with Marjorie, who knows exactly how happy or how wretched site rnay i«c, and who, if properly handled, may lie made to tell you ail. But you must he careful, as I have said, for she is a rough creature, and might turn stubborn. She is gone now, but she will return tomorrow, and you shall talk to her. Think it over, and decide for yourself the best way to act." He descended to the studio, while Sutherland sank again into his chair to think of Marjorie. He spent a singularly restless night; the next morning he looked pale and harassed. But after breakfast when ^ he entered the studio he was quite calm. He was working with his cus tomary ardor when the studio door opened and Adeie came in. The moment she appeared he sprang up and accosted her. "I am glad you have come," he said, in doubtful French, "i I wish to speak to you about a lady whom you know well. Yes; Nairn, my friend, has told me that you know her.” Adeie fixed her wild eyes upon the young man, and then, with a curious smile, pointed to a portrait. "You mean her?” she asked. "Yes, yes! Teil me all you know concerning her. I am interested In tells mi' that you sometimes visit the house, though how or why 1 cannot guess. What takes you there?" "1 carry a message sometimes from the cabaret," answered Adele. "And you see her? you speak to her?" "Why not?” said the girl, somewhat defiantly, for she read In the young man's face no little astonishment that Marjorie should see such company, i “Yes, I see her and the child. She is like that picture, but changed, older, ltut there, perhaps you sometimes see her for yourself,” y "Only from a distance," answered Sutherland. "I have not spoken to her, she dm* not know that 1 am in Haris. Hut I have seen enough," he added, sadly, "to suspect that she Is unhap py and neglected. Is that no?" Adele looked at hint for some mo ments In silence, then she said, with the low, hursh laugh habitual to her "You know little or nothing, mou sleur. If yon will swear not to be tray me, I ran tell you much more of her and her husband, {liable. I should love to do him an III turn, and hrr a good our Will you 'Yea." answered Sutherland, start led by the girl's strange mauner. "for IImI'i sake, tell no all you know," t'pun twin* further i|ue*l!oiied. It seemed Hist Adele knew really very little coin trntag Marjorie herself.

Once or Iwicp he raw Marjorie walk ing with her little hoy In the slreets of I’aris, and he fancied that her face ! looked more careworn Ilian ever. He dared not speak to her. It would be better, he thought, to make his pres erne known to Cauasldfcre, and to give that gentleman plainly to understand that unless Marjorie's life were made more hearable to her, the checks from Miss Hetherington would inevitably cease. That would he the only way to touch Caussldlere’s heart It was the surest way to proceed, and* Sutherland determined to net upon It. One morning some two days after his interview with Adele he left his rooms with the determination to find Caussidiorc. So engrossed wag lie with this new idea that for the time being he forgot all else, lie walked through the streets, along the boulevards. H< was wondering how and where he should carry out his design, when lr* was suddenly startled by the sound of his own name. Ho started, turned quickly, and found himself face to face with Mar jorie. For a moment he could say nothing. A mist was before his eyes, anil his lislng tears choked him; but he held forth his hands to grasp her trembling lingers. •‘Johnnie," she said, "it is really you' Oh, I am so glad, so glad!" He brushed away the mist which was blinding his eyes and linked at her again. Her cheeks were suffused, her eyes sparkled, and a sad smile played about the corners of her mouth. S!:< the Marjorie whom he hail known years before. The change lasted only for a mo ment, then her face became paler and sadder than It had been before, and her voice trembled as she said: •‘Johnnie, you must tell me now how they all are at Dumfries." She sat down on one of the benches which were placed hy the roadside, and Sutherland took his scat beside her. "1 was sitting here." she said, "when I saw you pass. At flrHt 1 ciuld not believe It was you, It seemed so strunge that you should he in I’arls, that I should meet a friend from Scotland." The tears came Into her eyes uguln, and her voice trembled. Turning her face away, site beheld a pair of eyes gazing wonderlngl) up at her. "l.eon. moil |Hitlt," she said, placing her hand niton her child's golden curls; then turning to Sutherland she said: •'This Is my little boy."

A Kray, weary, worn-out woman, she dwelt alone In Annandale Castle. Holding little I-eon by tbe hand, they strolled quietly along under the *rees. Presently they came to one of the many m'try-go-rounds which arc to he found In the Champs Elysect. Mer ry children were riding on the wooden horses, and mothers and nursery-maids were looking on. Here little I .eon clamored for a ride, nnd Sutherland placet! him on one of the horses. As he rode round and round, uttering cries of infantine tie light, Marjorie looked on with height ened color, here eyes full of mother's tender rapture; and, gazing upon her, Sutherland thought to himself: "Poor Marjorie! She loves her hus band for her child's sake. I have no right to come between them.” When the ride was done and the three passed on together, Marjorie seemed to have forgotten al her trou ble and to look her old smiling self, but Sutherland's heart sank In deep dejec tion. Close to the Madeleine they part'd, with a warm handshake und a prom ise to meet again. From that day forth Marjorie and Sutherland met frequently, and walked together In the Hols de Doulogne or on the boulevards, with little la on for a companion. At. her express entreaty he refrained from speaking to Causal* dlere, though he saw that, despite her attempts at cheerfulness, her fare sometimes wore an expression of in creasing pain. He began to suspect that there was something very wrong Indeed; anti he determined to discover, If possible, the exact, relations exist ing between Marjorie and her husband. Meantime, the meetings with hie old sweeheart were full of an abundant happiness, tempered with sympathetic distress. < 'MAI I Kli AA1A< U T II K K LAND'S • it s p I c Ion# were correct.

It Is always assumed that great painters make fortunes almost with a turn of the hand. That, at all events, Is not the experience of M.

For months past rumors have found their way to the United Stale* from time to tlm< that the royal dyna*ty of Kgypt, or wlmt was some day likely to lie the royal dynasty, was about to link Ita for tunes with one of the bcautbof Am MAHOMET ALL erica. The person in whom the blue blood of Egypt Ih (entered who east upon an American to share the throne, If ever It became bin, is Mahomet Ali, the younger brother of the Khedive. The Spbynx, an English newspaper published in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, has recently made public an nouncement tHat Mahomet Ali, heir to the throne, was engaged to "Miss Wan omaker," of America, The Khedive promptly sent forth a denial. Certain Egyptian nev/spapt ra published tli" denial wit It doubts and commented on Mahomet All's devoted attentions to Mina Wanamaker in Paris. The news traveled to the American colony in Paris and found I s way into the French newspapers. Mr. Wanamaker promptly denied that Miss Wanamaker hail anything more than a friendship for the young Egyptian. Mahomet AH is a young man of twenty-two years. He is very like his brother, the Khe dive, and these who best know him say he Is much more intelligent. How ever that may be, Mahomet is very fond of the society of foreigners, and the bright eyes of the feminine section of the foreign element have been to him wondrously attractive. For an Egyp tian Mahomet Is very cosmopolitan, and society in London and Paris knows him well. It was In Paris, so the story goes, that he first met Miss Lillie Wan amaker, and by means of the same story we are told that Cupid scored at once, opposed 10 mis statement.how ever, are vigorous denials, not the least of which Is that of Miss Wanamaker herself, accompanied by the even more emphatic statement of her father. I.. Uodman Wanamaker, Miss Lillie Wan nmaker's brother, soon became a bos om friend of Mahomet Alt. Together they went up the Nile, anil Mahomet ■bowed the younger Wanamaker Kgvpt mmh after the same fashion th younger Wanamaker would have showed Mahomet All New York. All this added fuel to the Itume of rumor j What could lie more natural, said the ; International society gossip* of Korop than that the clever Kgyptlan should | seek to win a place |u the affections of , the brother as an entering wedge in the assault upou the heart of the sis- j ter.

It stamped Mahomet in their i minds as a friend of tiie foreigner, al | though they had always believed liiru to be this. Now, however, they said to themselves that here was proof posi tive that the heir apparent to throne of Egypt was hand In glove with the hated foreigner, evidence sufficient as to what his policy would be should fate ever grant him the honor of being the nominal ruler of Egypt. The Egyp tian native party is well organized. It has keen emissaries throughout Eu rope. its leaders know the state of feeling in every country where the peo ple are In the least interested from a personal standpoint in the nation by the Nile, They are fertile In expe dient, and they well understand the necessity of steadfast action regarding any plan which they have determined to carry out. Tills explains why the story of Mahomet's engagement has so often been repeated repeated Iti the manner which carries conviction. In fact, It Is absolutely true that In Eu rope today the belief is very strong that tome day, before so very long, Ma homet will issue Invitations to wltne tiie marriage to the young woman whom tiie Parisians call “La Belle Ani crlcalne.” Both Mahomet All and the Khedive himself are wi ll aware of de plan to ruin tils political aspirations through a pretty girl, a girl who Is ss innocent of knowledge of even tli" faintest suspicion of the truth as sli' Is charming of face and of manner. He knows, of course, that his enemies, who are those of his brother ns well, are constantly plotting the overthrow of hlm.-i lf and the Khedive. He also knows that at tiie present time the anti-foreign feeling In Egypt is very itrong and constantly gaining. The ■ iuiii IIIUII III VII ' III III lldlll id nil L' i I,} resented and neither Is the possibility of French rule relished. Hence when Mahomet spends weeks In Paris for the purpose, ;ih the emis saries of Ike native party have caused It to be declared, of courting un Amer ican girl, an argument against the heir apparent is furnished which, In the eyes of the foreign hating element of Egypt, is irresistible In point of show ing the unfitness of Mahomet to ever properly fulfil the duties which devolve upon the Khedive. Miss Lillie Wanamaker is now at her father's home, No. 2b.'i2 Walnut street Philadelphia. When she returned from Paris, a few weeks ago, the story Immediately appeared In European pa pers that Mahomet All was going to pay the United States a vb-lt. Coupled with this rumor was the statement that upon the result of this visit would de pend his future happiness, so far as L could he affected by the American girl who It had long been stated was to lie offered the opportunity to become the wife of tho heir apparent. The weeks have passed and Mahomet has shown no signs of saying even adieu to the gayeties of Parisian llifo for the pur pose of a brief sojourn in the United States. Rumor, fed by the Egyptian conspirators, continues busy, and with in a week the positive announcement has been made in Europe that “Miss Wanamaker of Philadelphia” was to weil Mahomet. Tho vigorous denials of Miss Wanamaker and her father can by no means keep pace with the plotters of the native party of Egypt. Miss Lillie Wanamaker is one of the leaders of Philadelphia's Four Hun dred. Before the marriage of her sis ter, Mrs. Barclay Warburton, the ‘‘Wanamaker girls,” ns they were called, were considered ihp most desir able of the marriageable young women which the Quaker city contained. Therefore in the Philadelphia fashion able mind, if Mahomet Ali sought Miss Wanamaker he showed wisdom. Par isians say he did seek her. Miss Wan amaker says he did not. Mahomet says nothing. The world wonders if it can possibly be true that for even a little moment the Philadelphia beauty thought seriously of plighting her 9 I.I1XUN WANASIAKKK truth to a man, the law* o( whaae country aulhurtaa hint tu hate three wive*. |M**m «H««I ffutu A MUf of ihli vt* ar|«ttM tu |*r* % >■) i>m ihi**»» hr* U**« •U«cu**retl In httu their plan wae tu wa'ch fur • lioflllttn in «h«- 4* per uteat * I urea Ilk*' the leiivn at*4 the lloa Vlurvhe. tu Ivllvt them h ‘tit# an*t then ua4«r yit.rlM ol being puttee teep*< tore tu uitak their apartment* fur atutea *> < >« a hit h they earrle l u« with a > t*ar t.f rutapiaial Mu tu4« r»»» Kt» **•» ** ta*< a ***** a it»r A 4og in Surttt Hit) litlu, that It*** u« #***1 tarme with the family «et »e* * at tu »«*) pueejr the uther 4r> •he hating been eheea* enteral 4ata He bruught her ta huMiag her la hte muutA ea<l eluag with her ike ateei trap ta whtah aka waa .right i THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. . | LCSSOr, V.
