Lady Burningham’s Diplomacy

“1 think ft v«rj unkind nf you. I.ola inten'idy. drnndful > unkind.” Mrit Stevenson pushP<l lift' < liair ’>»( k Inipntientlr slip spoke, an iply frown distisui'fna her usually pretty fa< ** Urc sister-in-law atnil-d. "Iion't he so painfully superiative. Miriam." s’ip said, lansuidly: "there is no hurry, surely. 1 must think it over tirstt.” ‘‘There 1* every hurry." retorted 'tts. Stevenson: anti you must do it. you simply must." “My dear child." said l.aily ISurn tuphani. settliuR herself more comfortably iti tier tiiair. ‘tell me exi tly «hat it is you want me to do you sip so very incoherent." She ' yned hack and sip oil. "It's all re* e el’ for you to look Mke that I.ola." she 'Hid. irately, ‘ hut. after nil. lip'-, your own brother, and 1 think you iniRht do it for him. at nrsy rate." I,ady nu'iiinanatn nuiilcd patiently. "I niisiit do wliat ?” “1 have told you twenty times. T want, or rather, wo want you to eo to l.ord Ttrontwood and make him give T'rrd this appointment^' "How can ! make him?" asked T.ativ Buringlutm spenkine even more lungitldly liiau liitliertn. "I hardly hnov. the man.” Siie vavn.ul slijluly “Nonsense! You know littu rpiite well: at anr rs;p you have met him and even dined him. haven’t you? That's ipiitp enough: besides every one knows what an old fool lie is about women, and the dozens of jobs he has done already. So if will he perfectly easy for you." ‘‘And mi rev aid?" I.ady Rnmiughatn epokr half laughingly. "I will release you from the payment of the two thousand pounds f got from papa nearly a year ago." Lady Burninghatn drew a deep breath, and tier face tlimhed. To tel! the truth, she had done her beet to forget the obligation "We simply must have it. Lola. It will whitewash Fred as nothing else will, and It will give me the position 1 want. Why. only last week that hateful Mrs. Rrunton-Burnett nearly cut tue. and made some insulting remarks to Miss Alymer about Fred's company-promoting, hut if he gets this appointment he will he all right. It's so awfully respectable to be in a government office, and. of course. 1 'hall make him give up speculating and —" "Vhr* ' the pay?" "Oh. very little, about five hun died pounds. I think; hut papa lias promised in double my allowance if we get it. and Fred has a little he tas saved from the wreck." Slip lean "d forward suddenly and laid her hand caressingly on her sister-in-law's irm. “Do go and see laird Mrentwood md make him give it to Fred: do. I.ola, dear." ‘Tin awfully hard up Just now." said Lady IJurninglta-m, meditatively. “I'll ask papa to help you again. ),nla. I’m sure lie will if he thinks you h»>e helped us. you don’t know htyw av fully* good he is." "Yes, 1 know ho* generous .lews are to their own.” said Lady limning ham, with more truth than good taste. She rose as she spoke and drew on her gloves. “We!' I’ll see wtiai I can do." she said, condes- endlngly, "but t’ll be u great bore. However. I'll do ay best. Good-by. dear. I’ll let you know If I get It!" “Good-by, darling; thanks so much —you are a duck. I'll try to lend you < bit more if we get it." Igidy Huniinghatn trailed hei delicate skirts slowly down hot sister-n-law's staircase, and, stepping wearily- into her brougham, leaned back md shuddered slightly. "What a terrible little vulgarian," site scid to her>elf, "and why did Fred marry her? 1 suppose 1 must do it; I'm so aw full; hard up. and I daren’t ask Hiiiningliam to help me again. I had better do It now." She la :ghed rather grimly md lowered the front window, do to 101 Grosvenor Square, Ha’ties, and be quick," she said, and leaned !>«• k igaln, making rapid plans of attack, while Mrs. Stevenson, left to herself, muttered, angrily: "What a cat site is! always sneerng at papa: how dare »!i<* say that' But I gave her h dig over the two houaaud pounds; I , believe site thought 1 had forgotten all about it.”

this pArtleular appointment?" St added. rather abruptly. I.ady llurningliiuii’s iip drooped, and she took small iare-edged hand <cr< hief out of lie' muff. I'm so awfully fond of poor Fred " -lie said, brokenly. ‘You don’t know what he is to me. laird Mrentwood. lie is niy only h-other. and ho uiys (bat if he doesn't g*0 this he * ili go abroad and settle in Australia, o. some such awful pla e. mid you can’t think »hat that would mean to me. I simply could not do without him. We see each other nearly every day, .Mid I siioulil be miserable, perfectly miserable, if my lavonte brother went abroad and . o me." She lowered he; who, and raised the small handkerchief to her face. "1 - I simply couldn’t go through a long, dreary winter here if lie went away. I should have to go with him. You know how badly Burniugbani and 1 get on and 1 have only Fred to care tor in the world She leaned back :ind gave a little sob. Lord Brentwood crossed tbe room, and ending over her. took the handker bief out of b»*r hand and raised th. little gloved hand to his lips. Bear adv. rinn'i fret: I can't bear to .•.ec you fret; pray d<> not." le my only—brother, M r* ea-ed I.ady Burninghatn. with a clever ' ttl. catch in her voice I'm afraid I'm very weak, but 1 think I must see what I can do for you." he said, kindly. "There, don't cry. my dear: plea'e don't distress yourself for that lucky brother of .. nirs." He laid the small handkerchief intconiciou.-lv on li ! s writing iabie, and i.ady Burninghani smiled divinely up at him. "How good you are!" *he said, gia' •fully; "how good and kind you are." lie smiled back at her. "I am afraid 1 am wax in your hands,” he xald. “and I can only hope he will be worthy of the post." She rose, and gathered her furs and laces gracefully about her. "Ilovv am I to thank you?” • l require nothing but your grati•'uae." lie said, courteously, "and to be allowed to see you sometimes during the winter, if you you van tind time to waste on an old man's society, my dear.” "Of course I can. I'lease come and see me soon or. better still, come and dine with me.

know* whar he is!" W was Impossible! "Kven tbe king’” The word; seemed to burn iu.o his brain, and t*felt an icy cold perspiration break out on his forehead. To think that this woman, like dozens of others, perhaps. had not only made use of him and traded on his good nature, but had tricked him. It thonld be the last time she or any other would have tiie opportunity. It was a moment of hitter awakening, and even more bitter humiliation to the courteous old diplomatist: but as the violinist ceased playing and was greeted with deafening applause, true to himself. Lord Brentwood muttered appreciatively. “Bravo, bravo!" and smiled and nodded to tbe duchess, who looked half-questionitigly toward him.

, it was a month later, and a concert I was being held at Bedford House, by the kind permission of the Duclicas of Bedford, in aid of one of the hospitals.

The duchess bad gently insisted upon Lord Brent wood's attendance. “You know you are such an important war man just now that it is really your duty to come to my function: so tit* come, there 's a dear." And Lord Brentwood promised to go, and. reluctantly sacrificing an afternoon, attended the concoct.

Lord Brentwood looked at Lady turningham with a deprecating smile. !e was at all times keenly susceptible to the influence of women, and Lola Burninshani was an s^peciai favorite of his. “My dear lady, I’m afraid it’s iralosslble, absolutely impossible,” he aid, apologetically. "H really can't lie done. I fear, even for you.” "Why not?” asked Lady Burning Him, looking pleadingly up at him. "I ’bought nil these things depended on you.” "So they do. to some extent.” replied laird Brent wool; "but, you snow, he really Isn’t very capable— at least not from what I’ve heard.” “On the contrary, he is v xceedingiy clever, indeed" said luidy Hi n ugvaru. "I ought to knov , considering that he is my own brother.’’ Lord Brentwood looked his astoiishment ’’Than Mrs Stevenson—” he beiran. Lola Burninghnm' nodded her head and laughed "Yes. she is my sister in-law." "Well, it'r not a very g;e;-.t matter a f, et ail." .*.(* said, musingly. “Wh; ar« on so anxious for him to hav

Music was no hobby of his. and lie would far sooner have tieeu idle at j homo or busy abroad, than listening I to the singer who at this moment was I bidding him "Come out. come out"; but’ he sat there listening patiently, t -.-.v and again nodding his bead with tiie every-roady appreciation of the skilled diplomatist. Tiie song was over, the lady who was bidding every one ’’(’ome out," had told them for the Iasi time that they were "all the world to her"; and ) Lord Brentwood, giving a sigli of rej bef. leaned back more comfortably in ‘ ins chair. Two women seated behind him had kept up tiie incessant, low i better of the fashionable and uumusical com oi" goer, and they now slightly raised their voices. “My dear, it's porfectlj true. Lola told me herself; she told me the whole story in her host style you know ! what she is half asleep, but very I wideawake, as Kvlngstone says." ; ‘‘How did sb r ' mnnugo it'." l.ord Brentwood half ’ closed his eyes. He was thinking of Lady Burn- • ngham .and he was glad that he had been able to help her. The conversation going on behind him was of no interest to him. but he heard it v aguely, without consciously listening to it. “Yes, she told me exactly how she managed it. She went to him and told him thai they were inseparable, and that she couldn’t live if he went abroad, and then lie ga>e It to her. and now she’s gone to Hombnrg for the whole winter?’’ “Why did she do it? I thought she hated Miriam so." "Ah my dear, you don't suppose Lola ever did anything from pure philanthropy, did yon?" The other laughed. ‘‘Why was it. then?" "Well, you see. site owed Mrs. Stevenson two thousat d pounds, and tiie debt was not only to tie canceled, but she w-as to have another live hundred pounds from the father if*it came nff.” ’’No?" "Yes, it is quite true; and now she's gone abroad to spend and en joy the five bundled pounds. Clever of her, wasn’t it?” “1 always thought i.ady Burningham perfectly hateful!" said the lirst woman, decidedly. "Fancy poor l.ord Brentwood's being taker in so easily. \Yiiat a rage he'd be in if he know:” “Oh, It doesn't matter about him!" laughed the other. “Every one knows what an old find he Is with a pretty woman! Why, even the king knows it." Lord Brent wood sat very si ill and very erect in his chair while they were speaking, but his face paled, and be clinched his hands to stop their trembling. This talk was a terrible revelation of the world's estimate of 1 i>* nner life.* To think that be was accused of Jobbing that h** was. perhni*. even • !i «•> .1. t.g»tocK of feminine, fash- . ' ' • Lorn’on. “Even the k ng

"Very well!” As the man left tbe room, I-iord Brentwood opened the note he, had sent I«idy Burninghatn, and, taking out the small lace handkerchief, looked at it for a moment in silence. “It is sad to lose one’s illusions about so beautiful a woman!” he murmured. slowly; "sad even for an old man like me—but sadder still for poor Burninghani. who Is married to her!” He dropped his letter gently into the heart of the blazing fire and put the little handkerchief into a drawer. “Poor Burninghatn’" he repeated, softly—“poor Burningham! I wonder if he has found her out? I don’t like to be hard on a woman, but I am afraid it must be done." And he sat down at his table and began to write rapidly.

Lady Bumingham sat chatting In the beautiful gardens of the Homburg Hotel. "Isn't it delicious?" she said, with a sigh of deep content, "isn’t it delicious? Look at those roses, Eunice, and remind me of the dust and grime of London, if you darel" The woman with whom she had been chatting smiled, "laicky woman to have a sister-in-law.” Lady Burningham made a grimace. "She's a terrible little vulgarian, but—” “She's a treasure." interrupted her friend: "and you ought not tc abuse her. for she means much fun and many roses." "Anri no Burningham." laughed l.ola. “Yes. that's true—and nice." "It was very clever of you, Lola.” Lady Burningham shrugged her shoulders. "It was quite easy, almost ‘too easy,’ as the man in the play said, ‘Half a dozen words, a few tears,’— Pah! what fools men are!” she added, impatiently; "grown-up schoolboys, always open to the bribery and corruption of a few sweetmeats!” "He's a particularly easy person to get over, isn't he?" "Delightful!" said Lady Burningham; "an unsuspecting babe of innocence, and appalled, perfectly appalled, at the sight of a woman's tears.” "How long are you going to stay here?” "Oh, 1 don't know. All the winter, I suppose. 1 ant waiting for the rest of Miriam's checks; she only gave in® fifty pounds to go on with.” Lady Burningham's maid, harrying a bundle of letters, came quickly toward iter. “All bills. I expert" she said, languidly, "and not worth opening. Oh! here Is one from Miriam, and one from Lord Brentwood, too. 1 hope Miriam has sent the money.” Then she opened Miriam's letter: "Dear Lola—1 am bittery disappointed to see by this morning's paper that the appointment has been given to some one else. I don't know why you told me Lord Brentwood had promised it. because he is not the sort of man to break a promise; and If you made It up to get the fifty pounds out of me, I think It was very shady of you. Of course I shan’t send the rest; and 1 shall be very glad If you can ask Burningham (or shall I write him?) to let me have two thousand pounds, as we want the money now. Yours sincerely. M. STEVENSON.’’ "Fool! idiot! dolt! Of course, it is only some silly newspaper mistake. It must be”' Still trembling she tore open Lord Brentwood’s letter. The letter was* very short, and ran thus: "Dear Lady Burningham I regret to inform you that J have withdrawn my letter recommending Mr. Steven on for the appointment about which you spoke to me. Will you allow me as an old man, to give a word of ad vice'.’ • Should you wish in the future to carry through an act of diplomacy with any measure or success, you must ; nev!tably keep your own counsel. Yours truly. BRENTWOOD.” — R NETSH.

It was an hour or so after Lo**d Brentwood’s return home, and he still sat in his study, buried in reflections that were full of humiliation and shame. He had never meant to “work" a job, never, in his weakest moments, and he had always, even when giving way to beauty in distress, fully persuaded himself that beauty was true, and that tbe person for whom she pleaded must be a worthy recipient of his help and favor. lie rang the bell sharply, and sent his valet to her house with a not-*, asking her if he could see her the next day. and enclosing the littl** handkerchief she had left on the man telpleee. The man returned with the message that. "Lord Burningham was away yachting, and that her ladyship had gone abroad—to Homburg.” It was true, then. Lord Brentwood frowned, ns he turned to the man. and said: "Do you know when Lady Burningham left?" "Her ladyship l«ft last night, my lord."

Taste Is Localized. Taste Is ouriottrlv localised 'n 'le mouth. Put a lump of sugar on the tip of your tongue and you will lied 't tasteless. All sweet or aromatic 'substances, such a# wine, sugar and coffee, can be properly appreciated by the front half of the tongue, a pic. • of knowledge that every true connnl. sour applies when he sips instead of taking a mouthful. With most other substances, however, the reverse is true. In these cascy tbe tip of the tongue serves only for touching It is the bark part that tastes. Tiie sides of the iiionth, too, are quite lasensible to certain substances not tasteless.
