Ptu-lne Lad not mach soil, and she did not really care mach for xnaslc as music; bat she liked the plei sant, toothIng effect It had upon her. So she went to the opera two or three times a week, and In the intervals whispered scandal, ate Ices, drank coffee, or dozed gracefully behind the curtains of her box. This evening Mrs. Seton and she were scarcely settled in their seats before Lord Summers begged admission. The good-natured old gentleman looked rather worried, as he took the chair behind Pauline and exchanged civilities with both ladies. "I hare had a viit from Bennoir this afternoon, Pauline," his lordship began. The poor boy is teiribly upset by your refusal." "He will get OTer it." "But, my dear girl, hare you no heart at all? To my knowledge, this Is the serenth most satisfactory offer you have refused. I dare say you hare had quite a many of which I hare heard nothing. I begin to think jou are heartless." ' "Perhaps you are right," she said. Indifferently. "But you mast allow there are two sides to the question. Oa the on hand, you ask why I do not marry. I answer your question by asking, on the other, 'Why should I marry?' I do not lore these men who propose to me. I am my own mistress; I have everything I wish for -and I am happy as I am." Ther is the estate, you know, to think of. The succession lies between you and your Cousin Ethel, the sweetfaced child I pointed out. to you the other day. If you die unmarried, the estate will revert to her children at your death. Of course, there is nothing against that But I am sensitive about ths trust imposed on me by my old friend. Sir PauL Am I read it, his will lay the whole responsibility of this question of succession on my shoulders. In other -words, ha leaves me the power to pick and choose a fitting head for the House of Mailing. Now, in the event of yonr not marrying, the next heir will be the offspring of this Ethel and her artist husband, Mr. Dornton." Pauline had kept herself well under control, but she could not avoid an exclamation as Lord Summers put this point before her. That Mr. Dornton, to whom you have been kind, is engaged to year cousin, you know. Well, he is a very nice 'young man clever, well looking, nice manners and all that; but 1 don't think Sir Paul would have chosen him as the perpetuator ot the Mailing family." "Why not?" The question was put quickly almost, it seemed. In spite of herseli. "Well, it seems to mo that the question anav.rs itself. Who is he? What is he? Whence comes he? Who are his people? What were his father and grandfather? Of course he will make an excellent hus band for poor little Ethel, for h is bound to come to the front.' "Do you know, whenever you talk of that child, I fancy yon regard me as an interloper? I am sore your sympathies axe with, her." "Not at all not at all! Ton are too sensitive. . I am glad to know that Geoffrey! child is not likely to suffer hardship. This Dornton seems a manly, honorable young fellow, and will take good tare of that pretty little creature. I shouL J not like to think that my old friend's daughter was fated to spend her life in copying from the old masters of the Kensing'on Museum, as she told me she does now." It was well for his lordship's opinion of his ward's disposition that she was sitting with her face turned toward the stage during his kindly little speech. He was a shrewd eld man, and, had he seen the hatred and malice in her eyes 'when he spoke of Ethel, his previous judgment of her character might have been considerably shaken. The next day Miss Mailing drove to the Kensington Museum, taking Babette with her. It was a students' day, and the visitors made the round of the- gallerit in quietness, Pauline stopping in apparent interest by the aJde of every lady student. At last she-found what she sought She passed on until she reached a quiet corner, and then beckoned Babette to her side. "You see that very young girl In the gray, dress with her holland apron? That is the person whoie address I want. Keep her in sight until she leaves; follow her home, get her address, and then go to some of the shops "close-by and find out her nan?." "Mademoiselle does not even know her. name? "1 know her real name, but not the one she is going by Jus; now. Whatever you do, don't miss her.' Miss Mailing rwrjrned to her carriage, feeling that she had accomplished a good afternoon's work. - CHAPTER VI. " "IH cot give way I If I stay away one da;, I shall want to do it again, and, then my copy will not bo finished." Ethel uttered this alocd, fhoagh she was alone, evidently with the -Idea that merely hearing the words would, perhaps, strengthen .her waning resolution. Poor child! Her head aced, and her eyes looked quite pathetic with the hoavy circles round them; but sha refused to Slty herself, and recoi-itely plunged her ead into n Urge basin of wrter, rubbed htr hair heii dry. and started for the museum. j ' Though her head still ached a rood deal, the. copy mod fair -progress, and there was no sign of neglect r hurry In the work, her Urobbmg tempi notwith standing. .

GR A BITTER RECKONING I

By CHARLOTTE M. BRAEAIE . '

! t ! ! ! ! t t !! 1 V ? MM W !! "Leave the painting for a few moments, dear; I want to introduce you to Captain Pelling. My daughter!" Ethel plucked off her unbecoming headgear as she turned to face the unknown visitor. She was greatly surprised at the introduction, her father having kept her in strict seclusion since she left school a year before. "I taught Contain Pelling the rudiments of sketching before ho went on an expedition to Central Africa three or four years ago, and he is so delighted with his own efforts that he wanted to carry me right away to Wimbledon at once, to see and praise them." That Is scarcely a truthful statement, Miss Mallett," put in Captain Pelling with a smile. "I don't want praise, but judgment. The expedition I went out with is going to publish the result of our investigations, and they want some of my sketches to illustrate the work. When I saw Mr. MkUett in Picadilly I thought, 'Here is the man who will tell me honestly if I dare to allow them to be published;' and I pounced upon him. And now I have obtained two judges in the place of one. - My trap Is waiting outside, and I trust yon will let mi take you both down to my little bos,, My housekeeper will find us something to eat, and in the cool of the evening we can go. quietly through my little pictures and arrange them together." Ethel looked puzzled. Mr'.. Mallett could hardly conceal the surprise he felt at the adroit manner in which his late pupil had managed to include "the child," Ethel glanced at her rather worn but prettily made dove-colored gown and her bibbed holland apron. "I am not in presentable order," she began. "But you will see no one but the housekeeper and tho present company. Show yourself superior to such considerations, Miss Mallett. It will be a positive favor to me, for they are hurrying the preparations forward, and I should not like to be the cause of delaying the publication of the book. "Very well; I will come. But papa will tell you I am of no use in a cae of this sort." Ethel leaned back In the well-cushioned phaeton and listened lazily to the conversation between the two men, her father sharing the back seat with the groom. . Captain Pelling's horses traveled well, and, the breeze blowing right in her face Ethel gradually lost the depressing pain in her head and began to feel interested In the places they were passing. Whn at last the horses stopped at a tiny cottage, consisting to all appearances entirely of bay windows and creeper covered porch, and looking tinier still by comparison with the gigantic elm trees that surrounded it, she had a slight tinge of pink in her cheeks, and the dark rings had nearly disappeared from round her eyes. A pleasant middle-aged woman came to the hall door, and Captain Pelling handed Ethel over to her at once. "Give Miss Mallett a cup of especially good tea, Mrs. Crichton," and make" her lie down until a quarter of an hour be fore dinner. Above all,, don'.t let her taikr she has had a bad headache" Ethel looked at him in mute surprise "and it will return if she exerts herself bei ore she dines." Mr. Mallett looked amused; but the captain, supremely unconscious of having said or done anything unusual, led the way through the long, low hall and out at a glass door at the end. This way, miss;" and Mrs. Crichton opened the door, through which she was followed by Ethel. CHAPTElt VII. It was the loveliest' room the young girl had ever seen. The walls were a subdued stone green, the curtains and general decorations were of the same color, artistically touched up here and there with gold. There was a soft oldlooking Persian rug that covered the whole-' floor, except a fewk Inches by, the walls. The floor of the windows were bare, save for some exquisite specimens of skins which Ethel did not even know the names. Each of these windows was tastefully - and luxuriously furnished. There were two very fine paintings on the walls, and the whole room was lit-' tered most picturesquely with valuable, curiosities brought home by Captain Pelling. Ethel .looked round her with a sense of supreme delight. Mrs. Crichton mistook the look, and apologized for the general untidiness of the room. ' "You see, miss. Captain Pelig took the house only, three , weeks- ago. . .lie don't allow Martha or me to touch his wonderful curiosities, so I am- obliged to put 'up with this dreadful state of things. You will find this . couch more comfortable for a ret than either of tnose small ones. If you will allow me, I will throw this light woolen shawl over your feet. Let me raise your pillow the least bit. There" after carefully arranging it, "that is more comfortable. I will bring the tea in a f-w minutes. How good the tea was, and how enjoyable the great quietness add peace seemed to Ethel after the 'distracting roar and rattle of the London streets! Captair. Pelling came through the window by-and-by and was surprised to see Ethel lying there. He had expected Mrs. Crichton would take her to her own-canc-' turn. He stood irresolute for a moment just Inside the window, and then crossed the room to look more closely at his pretty young guest. - - "She's, as pretty as a picture, an3 as good as gold,, if I know anything about physiognomy. She has a trouble of some sort, poor little child! I should like to kiss those tears aawy. I wonder what sle's worrying about. Perhaps . Mallett IshArd up; he seemr.i careljsa fceft of a fellow. I'll see if I can't help thei a bit in that 'direction, anyway? This was a genuine red-letter day for EtheL . She ,vras so .Intensely Interested in the Captain's description of his travels that for the time she was drawn out of herself and her own affairs., Mr. Mallett, too, was heartily pleased. And Pelling was equally satisfied with his guests. , When the evening was over, he was surprised to find how well he had talked, and he felt convinced that suc cessful conversation as often depends on the quality of the listener as of the talker.

the pluck and fidelity of a native

vant at whose portrait .they were looking, when Ethel said: "I wonder you did not persuade him to come to Enj,laud with you. Your relatives would have worshiped him in their gratitude for having saved your life so J often." "I have rot one relative in the world. Miss Mallett," answered the Captain gravely. Ethel's glance was full of sympathy. "I beg your pardon," she put in hastily; "I am sorry I made the remark." "Don't be sorry. I'm very glad. I often long to talk a little about myself. You can't believe what an awful feeling it is to know that ther is not one per son in the world wb is sufficiently interested in you to care for your private concerns." "Decidedly unpleasant," murmured Mr. Mallett. "You'll hardly believe, Mallett, that this is the most domesticated evening I've spnt for the last six years. Jolly hard, when you consider that I am nat urally fond of home and all that kind of th'.ng! I was just getting weary of the loneliness of this place, but your being here to-night haa changed the whole as pect of affairs. It looks so homelike to see you sitting there as if you belonged to the place, Miss Mallett. To-morrow night I shall fancy I see you still there, and bit reconciled for a time at least." "You should marry best recipe in the world for loneliness Mr. Mallett observed, laughingly. Tried It, and iouad It a failure." "Eh!" Mr. Mallett sat upright and stared Into his host's face. "I beg your pardon, Pelling, If I have said anything unpleasant" "Not at all In fact. If I shouldn't bore you so horribly as to prevent your ever taking compassion on me again, I should like to tell you about my marriage. Some times I think it must ail have been a dream, it seems so unreal" He sat for a moment gazing absently into the garden, which was beginning to look dim and shadowy in the summer twilight, as If he were calling up the past from its gloomy depths. Ethel felt a shiver of superstitious awe pass over her, and the movement seemed to bring back the captain from the momentary reverie into which he had fallen. (To b cunrinued.1 FOURTEENTH CENTURY LONDON Belle Bevealed Through Demolition of Old Buildings. All Hallowg Id the Wall Is ona of the London city churches which have a special interest for the antiquary, because adjoining it Is a piece of the old wall of London, 6ays the Graphic. The church itself, however, Is not a thing of beauty or Interest, Dance, Junior, who built It In 17C5-7, not having been exactly a great architect. The first church that stood on the site, its north wall probably resting, as the present one does, on the ancient wall of the city, was built, it Is said, in the eighth century, the city wall being then 500 years old. Later the church, of course, became Gothic, and an old print shows It as a small building with two aisles and a low tower of timber. Old Stowe evidently thought little of it, for In his survey he merely mentions that fact that the church Is called "Allhallowes In the Wall of standing close to the Wall of the Citie." After mentioning some monuments of his own period, and the fact that the bounds of the parish contain no great extent of ground, and are, "needlesse to be spoken of," he ends his brief account by recording the fact that "Mr. Andrew. Geneway, the parson, used him there very kindly." Tho new View of London (1708) says that the church was of Gothic and Tuscan orders, and;' "not having been consumed by the late fire, is not ,so beautiful as those that are wholly new erected." The really interesting part of the church Is its vestry, which is formed in one of the bastions of the wall, and from which a flight of stairs leads through the north wall of the church Into the pulpit. Now there 'is exposed a part of the Gothic church of All Hallows in the Wall which Is not mentioned by the guide books, old or new, so far as the present writer Is aware. In New Broad street, behind the church, that Is to say, beyond its north side, a row of nine fine old -eighteenth century houses is being demolished to make way for new offices, and you can walk right through any of them and obtain a view of the north side of the church. There, in ruins, but of exceeding interest and high plcturesqueness, are some considerable remains of, apparently, the fourteenth century architecture of All Hallows. . Farmer Foddershncks.

' Hat Cavalier Style. A new style of halrdresslig Is here cleverly shown in conjunction with one of the newest shapes in hats. The hair is arranged in a loosely waved pompadour in front and gathered into n round knot, over which a hair net Is drawn at the back. The knot is drawn high enough so that 'the bandeau at the back of the hat finds support The hat itself is one of the new double shapes, the round crown and inner half of the brim being black velvet, the remainder of the brim being of a fine black felt. The left side is turned up sharply and draped with long black plumes, the bandeau lifting the shape at the back being covered with loops of black satin. Advice to Girl. Do the little things, and then if you have time dream of the great things. Be natural. Remember there are other as lovely as you are. Be conservative. Your acquaintances do not want your confidences. At all times be womanly, a masculine girl does not retain admiration. Be quick to believe good. Believe the gooi until the evil Is evident. Be pleasant at all times. A mile does more good in this world than all the preachings. Think beautiful thoughts. "Beautiful thoughts are angels bright." Remember that you are judged by your actions. "Do noble things, don't dream them all day long." A blouse should never look like the top of a gown worn with a stray skirt, and that is exactly what the surplice separate waist looks like, and why it does not "take." Sleeves hesitate to declare themselves openly, but it is at least ordained that all fullness must be above the elbow, and It is apparent that there need not be quite so much fullness as we had at flnt thought. The favorite trimming for velvets seenia to be moire, which has returned to favor with a turore equaled only by the vogue enjoted by the sheer linen fabrics during the summer season. It is used for strappings and stitchings of all descriptions and frequently In combination with the pretty braids, of which there are so many. For street wear this season the hat must match the gown, if the wearer is to be considered well dressed, but for evening the black hat, preferably of velvet, seems to be the favorite. As to, colors, one ha: only to look at the fall lines of dress goods to know what colors are to tead in the millinery world. Greens, biowns, reds, blues and grays are shown in such a variety of shades that it is next to impossible to fix on one as the favorite. , i In the s2ks it might be claimed that -tho taffetas lead. , But this would be ?saying 'too much ' There are glossy silks which . are . very popular, . and moire silk is again seen.

ness are also a feature of this winter's fashions, and those, too, require careful treatment that they shall not break the lines in an ugly manner, but shall g.'ve the width that is desired without being aggressive, as it were which sounds involved, but Is always simple to one who understands dress. The Woman Who Worries. A woman who never worries declares that there is nothing more detrimental to beauty in woman than worry. The worrying woman does nobody any good. She simply invites the hand of time, which writes plenty of wrinkles on her brow, around her eyes and mouth, paints her face yellow, and gives a lackluster eye that no artifice can brighten. It is quite unnecessary to worry, and it is a total waste of energy which could be better employed in doing something useful. You know a worrying woman the moment you see her. Her character is written, in her face in wrinkles which you would think nothing short of a miracle would obliterate. Downright ugliness Is a heavy price to have to pay for the possession of a bad habit, but there it is. And not only does worry directly Influence the complexion for evil, its more remote effects are no less potent in robbing the face of the peach-bloom tints which are the admiration of the poet, the painter, and the general public. Worry affects the entire nervous system, and through it the liver and organs of digestion and the heart. The things a woman thinks have more than anything else the power to make or mar her beauty: so let her beware of worrying overmuch, lest she lose the greatest of all the gifts. Vanlahlnfr Home. People who know what a home is are not so many as middle-aged men and women think, and they who never had one will hardly be expected to join in the lament at its gradual disappearance, says the Brooklyn Eagle. That it is going out of fashion there is not a doubt. Every new pile of flats, every conversion of a dwelling to a boarding house is elegiac of the circumstance. The modern family shifts from one tenement to another. loses or damages its goods in the transit, but. as constantly, losing the old, and jis without quiet and retirement and peace.

OCCASIONS.

sorrow, comes her way she is able tc meet it with fortitude. The members of the household are made to suffei for the contrariness of circumstances, and each in turn falls under her displeasure. A nagging, complaining wife soon wears out a man's love. He becomes impatient and then indifferent This last is love's deadliest foe. As to the children, little people are great imitators and hearing mother nagging all day and every day, they follow her example, end nag and quarrel among themselves; thus their childish affections, and, incidentally, their capacity for love in after life, is nipped in th bud. Why women can bs constantly scolding and fretting when there are sc many pleasant things to talk about is past understanding. If women would refuse to see things from the blackest point of view the clouds would soon give way to the bright and smiling morning. Lillian Blauvelt, the American prime donna, has signed a six years' contract for a total salary of about a half a million of dollars. Mrs. Sarah A.
