" "Didn't I speak It distinctly enough ? You begin to bo tiresome , " ho added , making an olTort to conceal his cmbar rassmont , 'Then , perhaps I'd better go. " 'Never , until you've unmasked ; In deed I am ready to " "To toll mo hor.truo namn ? " "Kvonthls. " "Then It is- " "Is is Julia , " gasped out Henry ; but now take your mask oil quick , juick , " h'o cried , excitedly , and raised "iis hand to her face. She drew back a few stops. "I have given my word ami will keep t"sho said with unfeigned voice , at , ho same tlmo slightly lifting the mask. Henry could only catch a glimpse of lior profile. Ho trembled. It scorned to liiinas if ho had fallen into a profound , troubled sleep , from which , spite of all lls efforts , ho could not roiibo himself. "Can It bo possible ? " ho exclaimed lialf aloud , nt the tame time seizing her nadly by the hand nnd shrieking in a tionrso voice , tremulous with oxclto- mont , "Take your mask wholly oil , I insist upon it. She apparently hesitated a moment , and then with a single motion took the mask quickly from her face. "Julia , " ho cried , and springing back stood as If petrified. She approached him slowly , laid hot * land upon his shoulder and whispered n u soft voice , "Do I still exist for you , Henry ? " Uor voice had the same sweet , silvery tone ns earlier and yet it was like the hissing of a snake : her touch like that of a cat playing with Its victim. Not withstanding , in the first moment lie would have thrown himself at lioj1 feet , kissed the hem of her dress and pressed the dainty hand with its red-tipped fingers to his heart. But only for a moment. Then ho re called the hour of tholr parting. Her cold words , "All Is over between us , " sounded in his cars ; ho heard the rus tling of her silk dross as she proudly drew herself up after these words ami wont away leaving him in stony despair Ho slowly lifted her hand from oil his arm , looked searchingly into her eyes and asked with n smile : "Don't you find this ball dreadfully tedious , countess ? " A perfect fury llatnod up in her eyes at these ironical words , then controlling horfolf she whispered in a tone of gentle reproof : "Havo you only scorn for the confi dence which has led u broken heart to throw itself upon you ? " "Pardon mo , countess. I was never intended for the pilot of nn ad venturers' ship , " and realized only too late by thcbo words that ho had been guilty of offer ing her a direct insult. She recoiled , and to h'do ' her anger quickly covered her fnco again with the mask. For awhile she was silent , then said slowly and with effort : "I discover that you are armed notonly with scorn , but with insults. Have I deserved - served them ? " "Madame , between you and mo ex ists such immeasurable difference of views ' , conceptions and feelings that noi'ther scorn nor insults from mo could nlTcct you. " "And yet there was a time when you did not see this difference. Then you loved me. Have you entirely forgotten that ? " she added softly. "On tlio contrary , I remember it well , and often live over again these hours with delight , Somewhat , however , as a mature man recalls his boyish pranks , and rejoices that they belong to an ago which Is gene forovor.- "And you have only such recollections of mo ? " she asked with smothered voice. "Could you expect or demand of mo any others ? " ho replied sarcastically. "Stop ! Do not revenge yourself on a defenceless woman. " "Defenceless ! Do you think I have forgotten the weapons you wielded by which to wound mo mortally ? " "That was In the past , but today it Is different , today I love you love you with my whole sojjl , notwithstanding you displso and repulse mo , " she said , in ono hurried breath , ns If by the confession to relieve her overburdened heart. "You love mo ? Wouldn't It bo too childish In mo to believe It ? Didn't you say these same words to mo only a few years ago und yet " "Ah , then nnd now ! What a chasm sep arates these moments ! I formerly looked upon love merely as an indispensable on- tcrtainmont of an evening party. Today it has become n necessity of my heart , and I would share this sacred'feeling with him to whom , though unconsciously to myself , for a long , long tlmo my heart hns alone belonged. I feel that if you now repulse mo I shnll dlo like a ( lower on which the dew no longer fulls. " After uttering those passionately ex cited words she added , ns if ashamed of them , In a timid and frightened tone : "Ah , how you must despise mo1 ! Henry felt how the little uiuid trem bled which again rested upon Ills arm. lib could not account to himself for the change in his thoughts und feelings. Ho forgot the whole world , forgot the mass of people crowding hlthor and thither about them forgot tlio suffering of past years and saw only the living being who leaned timidly mi his arm and behind her mask was choking back tears of shame and-humllintlon. Conscience commended that ho take pity on the unhappy ono , but reason- remained hushed under tfte magnetic in- lltionco of the tiny hand resting on his arm. " Another voice the voice of his heart whispered : "You love her as much , perhaps moro than over. " And ho trembled. Could it bo true ? Was u return then posolbio for him to that sweet , long past , but never to bo forgotten moment ? "Yes , it Is possible , " ho said to him self in thought. ' "Slio loves mo as formerly , " and turning to the black mask ho whispered : Dosplfio yon ? 1'ar- don you ? You know llmt'l Htlll love , still adore you , thnt I am ready lo con secrate my life nnow to you. " t'arrlcd away by the old love , ho con tinued t : " 1 love you as no mortal , no pool hns over loved. " Instead of nn answer ho hoard behind the t mask which nearly covered her mouth i only n soft , musloal ha ! ha ! hal as i with half suppressed voice she enld : "I have now won my bet with the baroness 1 , I assorted that any ono of you j men nt the bare rccoilocUon of your first I love was capable of committing the grossest | piece of stupidity. I wns not tiilto t [ sure that I was right ; but now , thanks I to your nmlablo heart , I am only too I thoroughly convinced of It. The half of ( my winnings should properly bo given to | you. "Hal ha ! ha ! how grateful I am to you ! " she paid , as nho withdrew hur hand ] from his arm and was soon lost in the j crowd of maskers. Making Glad the Wnsto ( Waist ) Places.
