KITTY'S By Author of f. V k i CUAITHR XI ( Continued. 1 ; "1 don't know the detail. of the rest , - hut .-he threw John over; sh j couldn't hear the prospect of poverty! . Monsieur Arnaud. who had made a j eohxsal fortune in trade, who had! hojht land in Brittany, had heard her and proposed and been refused, and now proposed again and was accepted. She accepted the colossal fortune, and hoped that the jam would compensate for the presence of the pill in the shape of monsieur. 1 hope monsieur proved a more bitter pill than she expected; I hope devoutly that he proved a brute; but of that history dc;s not speak." The dock ticked on again in the si ! rit room. Meg and I sat still, say- j nothing for some minute: then I 1 isk. d half absently j Vh-i told you the story?" i Never mind who told m?," s;.id Mes. j vi.-inj; s-uldfnly from the elbow of my 1 !i;iir and wandering away j'rnm me to !

speeches charming, graceful and full of meaning. "I want you and John to come to the theater with me one day next week." she said. "Miss Co: field has promised to come too. You must tell ir.e which day will be most convenient." "Thank you; any day," I replied coidly. 1 eouid not accept the invitation with the giaciousness that was befitting. I was grateful to Meg for breaking in and taking upon herself the onus 0: the conversation. She talked nonsense eloquently for the next ten minutes. and never left a pause. "Do you know what I meant to say to you when 1 came this evening?" said Madame Arnaud at length, turning away from Meg and smiling at me. "I meant to scold you. Why do you never ome to see us?" "1 do come, Madame Arnaud very often." "Not very often," she returned reproachfully. "Never unless we send a formal invitation to you!" "Kitty has given up the world," interjected Meg. "She devotes herself to planning unexpected mutton chops for John, airing his newspapers, and putting his slippers down to warm." Madame Arnaud. looking earnestly at me, paid no heed to Meg s explanations. "We want to know you," she continued. "You won't let us know you!" "Madame Arnaud." broke in Meg. irreprcsiibly. "Kitty is very dull when known. I've known her for seventeen years, and tan speak with authority. 1 wish you'd want to know me instead' I shoald be most grateful I would com-i to see you frequently, and never wait for formal invitations. I like eoniing to ;-ee people who live in big houres, with plenty of servants, and plenty of easy chairs, and, hot-hous f.owers, and grapes and peaches out of s'nson. i'lid a brougham to drive in the park in. and a man in livery to open shop doors and wait outside! I will come r.nd see you every day if you ifke. I'm nicer than Kitty I am. indfd!" Meg had succeeded. It was impossible to talk seriously if Meg meant the conversation to be frivolous. The conveisation remained frivolous until Madame Arnaud rose to go. "John is not back yet?" she asked. ts she reise from her ehalr. "His slippers are still in view." said Meg "on the dining-room fender or is it in the breakfast-room, Kitty, that they reside when warming?" "No. John is not in yt," I replied oMIy. Madame Arnaud opened the fur bag-

a

Will you give him this?" she said, and there Was just a touch of embarrassment in her manner as I took the letter from her. "You won't forget it?" she besought me, with a note of anxiety In her clear, sweet voice. "I am not likely to forget," I siid. A minute later Meg and I were alone again, and Meg, too. was rising to go. "Kitty, do you pride yourself on your manners as a youthful hostess?" she asked. "So. not at all." "That's a good thing." she said. "I dare say I was rude," I admitted unrepentantly. "Oh, don't feel doubtful about it. dear you needn't! You were an b-icle an iceberg the polar regions! I'm going, dear. Good-night." "Good-night." I said. Meg was gone. The fire was now burning low; the lamp, with its big red shade, made a ein le of light in the distant corner; all the rest of the room was dim. I .sat in my low chair beside the fire and waited for John to come. He came at last. He stopped to hang up bis hat and great-coat in the hall, then came briskly toward the drav-ing-rooin. "Kitty! All in the dark!" he exclaimed, as he opened the door. He c.-.uie across the room, bnt down and kissed me, then stood before the tire, holding out his hands to warm them. "John." I said in my coldest, most steady tone, determined to speak quite carelessly, ' there is a letter for you from Madame Arnaud. Here it is." He took it eagerly. I opened a book and pretended to he deeply absorbed in it. John carried his letter across the room toward the lamp. He read it without making any comment. 1 heard him turn to the first page to read it through again; he stood still for many minutes, the letter in his hand, and seemed to be lost in thought. The dinner-bell rang while he was standing there. I put down my book and rose slowly from my seat. Then John sighed, folded his letter, and came towards me. "Kitty, I am going out." he said. 1 did not reply for a moment; my heart felt dead within me. I eould neit even feel angry; I was too heart-sick with misery, with helpless, hopeless, aching regret. "To Madame Arnaud's?" I asked. Ami the question was asked in the most level tone, without passion, almost without interest in the answer. "Yes, I am orry to leave you again. Kitty." But, although he spoke In his habitually gentle way, he spoke abstractedly. "Don't trouble." I said, coldly, "I do not mind." "Have dinner. Kitty. Then go round and see the girls." "Oh, yes that is a most exciting plan!" "So exciting that you are almost glad to get rid of me?" I smiled a hard, mirthless little smile. "The society of one's contemporaries is such a relief, is it not?" I said; and I meant the speech to be biting in its sarcasm. Ily voice spoilt the speech a little by faltering. John was looking at me with such a grave glance that my eyes fell. He did not answer me. He drew on Iii tli !!.- flnvng clruvli' Irwtlrin" ! thoughtfully away from me down into the lire; then he sighed, kissed me in a grave way. and went. I heard the street door shut, then I sat down in a hopeless attitude upon the rug. buried my face in my hands, and burst into tears. CHAI'TKR XI'. Seven o'clock, eight o'cleick, nine o'clock struck. The fire had burnt lower, and at last had gone out ; the room had grown cold. Still I sat In the same attitude my head bowed down upon my hands and tried to think calmly of the future that lay before me tried and failed. 1 was so young! I had so many years to live! that thought was too pitiful; it made me cry anew! And as hing as I live. John's life must be a bondage; he had married me for kindness sake, but perhaps he had never realized beforehand how little I should have in common with him. bo Mr young I was, how

foolish, how dull the constant companionship of a girl of seventeen must be. And again my tears flowed fast for John's sorrow or for the pathos of my owi part therein. I was numb with cold, dazed with wfepins. when at last I rose fron the floor. Suppose John should return ar tHis moment and find me in tears! In sudden fear of his return. I ran upstairs to my room, took my hat and cloak and went out of doors into th' cold gray October night. There were few people about. In the park the paths were deserted. !f I had been less unhappy, I should have been frightened at the loneliness; I was too wretched to feel fear or to care about the cold. The clouds parted a little; the moon came out and shone down between th" trees upon the rippling water; the water sparkled coldly, the bare branches looked ghostly in the pale silvery light. Then the clouds gathered again and the moon was hidden. I sat down m a seat beside the pathway, with my fur cloak drawn closely about me; and my tears fell fast again beneath my veil. Footsteps came slowly up the lonely path. Two figures were advancing in the darkness; I saw them dimly outlined, but did not heed them. I only awoke to any interest in them when my ear detected a woman's choking sob. "1 cannot bear it!" said a voice a woman's voice, tremulous, broken. "It is too hard I cannot bear it! For ten years I have hoped for the best. I have borne everything; I have looked forward to brighter times, never allowed myself to despair. And now now the ten years are over, and things are as they were ten years ago. Hut th"n I had courage! Now I haveno courage. 1 look forward to the future and see no comfort none none!" The voice was so broken, so tearful, that it scarcely struck me as familiar. The man and woman slowly advanced, slowly passed; then, all at once through the parting clouds, the moon shone out again shone aeross the re1ratitig figures, and I recognizer! John and Madame Arnaud.

To those who know her. the queen of Saxony is a bright, and lovable woman eif sunny nature and exquisite tact. Queen Carola is the last direct descendant of the Swedish royal house of Holstein-dottorp and she was born in the castle of Schonhrunn, near Vienna. It was in Austria her girlhood was spent. The young princess grew up very beautiful, with dark hair, blue eyes and a perfect complexion. Many suitors came, among them Napoleon III., but she had her own ideas about matrimony, and not until Prince Albert of Saxony appeared did she eonsent to wed. When he was 24 and she H their betrothal took place. The marriage occurred at Dresden. June IS, 1SÖ3. just before her twentieth birthday. For nineteen years Princess Carola lived with the title of crown princess lived happily, too and then on the death of the king her husband ascended the throne. Through their efforts the Saxon court improved till now it h one of the finest in Europe. The royal couple have no children, and the queen is especially fond of charity works with children for an object. When her sister-in-law. Princess Ceorge of Saxony, died, leaving six young children, the queen virtually adopted them and has stood in their mother's place all their lives. The queen's jewels are' magnificent, as the crown jewels of Saxony are among the most valuable of Europe. Irish Kepnriee.
