COMEDY AM) TRAGEDY. By THERESA I. MAOQUOID. • ' T Tlieg your pardon,” lie begin: "I am disturbing you, but hearing the piano I ventured to comoill." "Disturb me? No. indeed.” laughed Norah. "Pve only been wishing for the last four hours that somebody would. I’ve been alone all day. Everybody is ill.” Then as ho neither spoke or changed his position she added: "Would you like me to play? It’s the only thing that 1 can. do a little bit in the whole world." "I should like it very much,” he answered, coming forward and standing by the piano. Norah was a thoroughly good musician. and she exerted herself to play her best, just glancing occasionally at her companion, who was silting in a low armchair, his face concealed by one hand and twisting his gold watch chain with the other. "Thank you very much." waa all he said when she stopped. "Ida believe he is actually going to run away again." said Norah to herself on seeing him rise. "No; he really must stay ami talk to mo for a little, or 1 shall go melancholy mad. Are you fond of music?" she said, turning toward him. "Do you sing or play yourself?" "No, neither," he returned with a curious smile. "Is it still raining?" asked the girl, feeling that music was not a sympathetic subject. "Are there no hopes of going on deck today?" "No, I’m afraid you could not even stand.” "Now 1 wonder if he's married,” thought Norah. "I must find out. Poor man, he’s dying to go and doesn't quite liIre to. Why of course it’s a bold stroke, but I'll risk it.” "Are you going all the way to Constantinople?” she asked carelessly, and turning to the piano again began softly to play a polka. “Yes—nil the way.” “So are we. We are going to stay with an uncle who has just joined the consulate. Will there be 'touch going on? Are there many nice people?" she continued, looking up lor an instant. ,, “Yes, I think there are some —what are generally called nice people,” he replied, leaning on the piano. "There are certainly plenty of balls.” “From the tone of j-our voice i conclude you don’t like balls.” "Ours give a great deal of trouble, 1 know that." “What do you moan by ’ours'?” “The English embassy balls." And at Ibis reply Norah’s heart gave a loud beat of satisfaction, and the polka, which bud dwindled into a little chant, started oil' again merrily, j “Have yon lived long in Constantinople? Do you know many people then ?” she asked. | “Not so very long.”

“Do toll mo n little about the people,” persisted Norah, bending down and emphasizing her words with the notes, “for I only know them byname. There's Sir Berwick and Lady Taylor and the Sorelles—are they nice? There's u—a Lord Peter Donald, isn’t there? What is he like?" •T have never seen the Taylors, hut she is the /trout beauty, and I believe'— well, I believe Lord Peter Donald is considered nice by some people.” “Ami Lady Donald?” playin'* her l ast card as she finished off tho polka with a flourish. “There is no Lady Donald,” was the , (pilot answer. •also Lady Donald?” repeated Norah. looking tip with a wonderlnl assumption of innocence in her great brown eyes. “Areyou certain? I’m sure I\o.heard of her.” “No, I think I nan answer very decidedly that there is no Lady Donald. Won’t yon play this?'* ho went on rather hurriedly, taking up a piece of music that lay on the piano. “Well, he may ho a viscount, but be ■ doesn’t know one note of music from another,” she thought as ho spread out Czerney’s exorcises before her. “Why, here they coma to lay the dinner. Are you going to dino up in the smoking room, where I hear you lunched? It’s very unsociable, you know.” “I shall ho only too delighted to d'r.e here,” ho began earnestly. “Well—it” “If what?” asked Norah as she rose and shut tho piano. “If you will ask me.” “Is that nil? Well, then I do,” laughed the girl. “Miss Norah Foster requests tho pleasure of—stop, though—there’s one drawback. She does not know whose pleasu re to request.” “My name, yon mean,” said tho young man, rather hesitating. “Oh, well, what I am generally called will do—Peters.” “Mr. Peters’ company to dinner directly it fs ready."' And finishing with a low. mocking courtesy she ran out, leaving the young man still standing by the piano. He watched her retreating figure and then, plunged his hands into his pockets. “Well, sheis pretty and no mistake. Why shouldn’t I dino and take to her? TV hero is the harm? Ishali never see her again in ullhiiumu possibility, for we are til’ goodness knows where. She got i reeioita near the mark thongl . By Jove, could she have seen the box? Oh, no; I locked it up at once. Well, she bad tho sweetest face I've over seen.” Alai U» v. a'-JAd -iy away.

CHAPTER IL The weather remained uncertain for the rest of the voyage, Nothing could induce Mabel to leave her cabin, but Noruh, now that she was able, to go on (lock, was perfectly happy. Daily she got to like the shy, reserved man more, almost in spite of herself, and the name. "Mr. Peters." seemed to come quite (us a matter of course to her lips. Whenever she wanted a chair carried, a book fetched—in short, anything—he was ah ways at hand to do it—a jx rfect slave to her slightest wish. Vet Korah had to acknowledge to herself again and again that, though they were always eagerly accepted, it was she herself who pro. posed each game of chess or cards, each walk on deck. At Malta they had taken up another passenger—a very voting man. possessed of a photographic camera, who divided his time between photographing every

The girl was sitting quite still, with her even bent on the game, trying to geo her way out of a complication, with her adversary at the other side of the table looking fixedly at her, oblivions of everything, when a sort ”oT " yell ed triumph tloso by made them both start. “Yon always re to lot mo photograph you." called out the malicious youth in a joyful voice, “and now I’ve just taken yon both beautifully. You shall see it in a moment," and still speaking be disappeared below. Norah. however, seemed in no way to mind and did not even notice her companion's look of annoyanco oft the carelessness of Ida next move, which enabled her to win tho gamo at once. Then sho slowly took rp the chessmen and dropped'them one by onp into the wooden box. “This, 1 suppose, will bo our last game.” sho said, breaking the silence. “Yes." ho answered with u sigh. “The last day at sea, tho hist game at chess, the end of everything." “Cut perhaps we shall meet in Constantinople," said Norah in u low voice as she pushed the lid on with little taps. “I don’t think so. We—I mean 1— shall not stop* at Constantinople this time." i “Where are you going?" sho asked. looking tip. i "That I do not know yet. India or even Chipa—the farther the better perhaps. yhuil 1 carry the chessboard down?" I Taking,them, from her, be stood for a moment irresolute, then began in a low. nervous voice, "Miss Foster, may 1 say something to yon?" But before Norah had timo to answer tip darted the youth again. "Oh, look, Miss Foster!" he cried. "They are simply splendidl Look at this one!” and sitting down in the now vacant seat next her E’.o-held tin the dark outline oft Iterself and Mr. Peter* seated each side of the chess table. “Pate, fate!" murmured Mr. Peters to himself us he wandered to. thosideof the ship and gazed at tho foaming white track plowed out of the intense blue waves of the sea of Marmora. "Fate from the beginning; fate now when 1 had made up my mind to. tell her who I really am? Well, in another fortnight half the world 1 will lie between ns, and she —she will have forgotten my very existence.” As tho wind dropped the passengers regained their courage, and when Norah entered the saloon half an hoar later nearly the full complement were sitting at the dinner table, but no sign et Mr. Peters. Sho felt mortified by bis absence and for the two lotig hours after dinner sat alone pretending to read—in reality looking up every time the door opened, i At last he did come in. and going . straight up to where she was sitting said, “I dined with tho officers tonight." "Did yon?” answered Norah carelessly. “W hy, how very late it is!" she continued, glancing at the clock. “1 must go and paekvp. Good night, 3Ir,Poters." And gathering up her books she rose. "Goad night,” he said,, looking at I er very bard and noticing the sudden change « S. tone and manner. "Good Eight.” she repeated, but half way down the saloon she stopped and looked o\ tr her shoulder. "Pray, what was it you were going to say tamo this afternoon?

Ho looked at her for a moment in silence, then came forward eagerly as if to speak, but checking himself said in a low, constrained voice: “There is no occasion to say w oat I was going to. It was an assumption on inypsrt of a state of affairs that 1 see now does not exist. Imu a man. lhave a heart. 1 suppose, like other men. Forgive me, Miss To ,-[ ter. I am going too far. All I want to ' say and what 1 want you to remember is that I can keep silence, well—like a man," And before Noruh had recovered from her astonishment he had pushed the swing door open and was gone. “Dear mef’she ejaculated to lierself. “Men are mysteries. What have I said or done to'offend this one? Has lie got such an extraordinarily sensitive heart that ho was burl because, after sitting hero waiting two la its. 1 showed him I didn't care for that kind of thing. What was ho going to tell me? I have a feeling that I've done something wrong, though I don't know what, and driven this man away, for ho loves mo.
