Ive been made a fool of between you. but all this does not te!I me where my wife Is! S? tford. man. I see it now. This has been a blind." He struck bis forehead. "Ha, yes, 1 have it now. It was a false scent The villain, the fox is off with her on another road with his tongue in bis cheek grinning to tbink of me sitting and waiting for them at Devizes! Tom, the chaise, the horses! There's cot a moment to be lost!" Devil a horse or chay for me, sir," cried bis friend, and. nodding at Kitty, "I know when I'm in good company," he pursued. "If you don't. Sit down, man; there's punch brewing. Your vengeance will keep hot enough ha. ha but the punch won't!" "Glory," cried O'Hara, staring at Sir Jasper as if be were a natural curiosity, "I've known many a madman, but I never knew one mad enough yet to run away from a punch bowl!" With lace ruffles neatly turned back from his deft bands, O'Hara began to peel the lemons. "Do you," now said Captain Spicer, with an ingratiating chirp "do you really core for quite so much peel in the bowl ahem?" The speaker stopped suddenly and seemed to wither finite away under a pudden look from the punch brewer, who had made a uuvment as though to put bis knife and lemons down and employ his fingers differently, and the next instant found him whispering iu Stafford's ear. "You're a man of the world, I know, friend Stafford." said he. "No doubt you will laugh at my overnice sense J of delicacy,, but just now in bis ravings poor O'Hara made a kind of threat, I believe, about pulling my nose. What would you advise me to do in the matter look over it, eh?" "Certainly," cried the spark, with a glance , of the most airy contempt; "look over it as" straight as you can. Look over it by, all means, but as you value the symmetry of that ornament to your countenance. Captain Spicer, If I were you I should keep it well buttered." , With an art of which be alone was master Captain Spicer hereupon vanished from the company without being missed. CHAPTER XXIII. m TS an orgy!" exclaimed Lady Maria. "Oh, Jasper!" sobbed Lady Standlsh. " 'Twould be interesting to know, further trumpeted Lady Maria, "which f these gentlemen is supposed to have run away with the widow Bellairs." "Oh, Kitty," sobbed Lady Standlsh. "My God!" said Sir Jasper, layinjr down bis reeking glass and hardly believing his eyes. Mistress Kitty, seated between O'Hara and Stafford at the end of the table, while Lord Verney and 6ir Jasper faced each other, continued, unmoved, to sip her fragrant brew and cocked her wicked eye at the newcomers, enjoying the situation prodigiously. She laid an arresting hand upon the cuffs of her neighbors, who, all polite amazement, were about to spring to their feet. "Keep still," said she; "keep still, and let Sir Jasper and his lady first have their little explanation undisturbed. Never intermeddle between husband and wife," she a'dded demurely; "it has always been one of my guiding axioms!" "Well, Sir Jasper Standish, these are pretty goings on." cried Lady Maria, "for a three months' husband! (Hold up, my poor dear Julia!) Profligate!" snorted the old lady, boring the baronet through with one gimlet eye. "Dissolute wretch! Highwayman!". "I demand." fluted Lady Standish's plaintive treble in her gentle, obstinate heart she had come to the fixed resolution nf npvpr nllnwlncr Sir .Tasoer out of 1-er sicrM strain "I detnand to be Iraallm Strength A weak and exhausted condition usually follows overwork, too close confinement, or unusual mental strain.

A lady" (sniff) "supposed to be engaged to my nevvy! roor, deluded boy" "And my dearest friend! Oh, Jasper! How could you?' Sir Jasper broke in upon his wife's pipe with the anguished roar of the goaded: "Deuce take me," cried he, "if I don't think the whole world's going mad! I elope with the widow Bellairs, Lady Maria, ma'm? I treacherous, my lady? Ha!" He positively capered with fury and wounded feeling and general distraction as he drew the in criminating documents from his breast and flourished them, one in each hand, under the very nose of his accusers. "What of Red Curl, madam? What of the man who kissed the dimple?" In his confusion he hurled the last two demands straight in Lady Maria's face, who, with all the indignation of outraged virtue, exclaimed upon her deepest note: "Vile slanderer, I deny it!" Here Mistress Bellairs deemed the moment ripe for her delicate interfer ence. "My lovely Standish." she cried, "you innk sadlv. Indeed I fear you will swoon if you do not sit. Pray, Mr. Stafford, conduct my Lady Standish to the armchair and make her sip a glass of cordial from the bowl yonder.' "Oh, Kitty!" cried Lady Standish, and devoured the widow's face with eacer eves e to "see whether friend or enemy was heralded there. "My dear," whispered Kitty, "nothing could be going better.

"I lost a letter only a nr two nco at vour house a," she drooped her lids with a most entranc Ing little simper, "a rather private let ter. I believe I must have lost it in dear Julia's rarlor. near the sofa, for I re member I pulled out my handkerchief" "Good God!" said Sir Jasper hoarse ly, and glared at her. all doubt, and crushed the letters in his hand.

La!" said she, "what a question to out to a lady!" "For God's sake, madam," said ne, and In truth he looked piteous.

"And what of the fool that picked them up and read them?" whispered Mistress Kitty's voice in his ears, sharp as a slender stiletto. She looked him up and down with a fine disdainful mockery "Why will you men write?" said she mpuninsrlv. "Letters are dangerous thinsrs!" He 6tood convicted, without a word "La! What a face!" she cried aloud I protest you quite frighten now, me. And how is it you are not over joyed, Sir Jasper? Here is your Julia proved whiter than the driven snow and more injured than Griselidis, and you not at her feet?" "Where is she?" said Sir Jasper, half stranded by contending emotions. "Why, there, in that armchair In the ingle nook." Mistress Kitty smoothed her restored treasures quite tenderly, folded them neatly." and slipped them into the little

turning fiercely on her nephew, "What, my lord!" said shc, "would your mother say? Why. you are positively reeking with the dissolute fumes!"' "Mv dear Lady Maria," interposea the urbane Stafford, "a mere cordial, a grateful fragrance to heighten the heart after fatigue ana emotions, sovereign thing, madam, against the night air the warmest antidote. A sip of it, I assure you, would vastly restore you." "I" said she, "I, drink with tne profligate and the wanton! . The deceiving husband and the treacherous friend!" She gave the fiercer refusal for tnat gne felt so strongly in her old bones the charm of his description. Tooh, pooh, my dear ladies, if that is all." said Mr. Stafford, "tnen, Dy heaven, let the glass circulate at once! Indeed, your la'ship," turning to Lady Standish, "so far from our good Jasper having anything to say to Mistress Bellairs' presence here tonight, let me assure you that he and I set out alone at an early hour this evening, with no other object but to be of service to your ladyship, whom your anxious busband had been led to believe was nueiy to come this way somewhat, ah, un suitably protected, as he thought.' Then he bent down and whispered into Lady Standish's pretty ear (which she willingly enough lent to such con soling assurances). "As for your friend," he went on. "our delightful if volatile Bellairs she came here with a vastly different person from Sir Jasper; poor O'Hara yonder, who's drinking all the punch! She will tell you herself how it happened, but. gracious stars. ruv dear Lady Maria, have you not yet been given a glass of the of Mr. O'Hara's restorative!

Forgive me, dear Lady Maria, trilled the widow. "Mercy on us!" ejaculated the old lady; then, as if unconsciously, gropeu for the glass ia Mistress Kitty's hand. "Sit down; sit down all!" cried Mis tress Bellairs. Stafford eenoeu wmi a jovial shout. There was a call for a fresh bowl. O'Hara s eyes negan to dance, his tongue to resume its giibness. And Lady Maria was surprised to find how long her tumbler took to empty, but, curiously, never failed to be looking the other way when Mistress Bellairs with tenderest solicitude plied the silver ladle in her direction. "I hope," said the ancient laay, now wreathed in smiles I hope that Mr. O'Hara's cordial is not really stronger than madeira wine, which my physician says is all I ought to drink." "Madeira!" cried Mr. O'Hara. "Ma deira wine is a very fair drink; it is a fine stirring dhrink, but 'tis apt, Fni afraid, to heat the blood overmuch. Now, claret," he went on, pursuing the thesis "claret's the wine for gentle menonly for the divil of a way it has of lying cold upon the stomachafter four or five bottles. Do 1 near you say Tort over there, Tom, me boy? I'll not deny but that port has qualities; it's strong, it's mellow,- but it's heavy. It sends a fellow to sleep, and that's a tirrible bad mark against it, for 'tis near as bad for a man to sleep when he has a bottle going as when he has a lady coming. Ihen there's champagne for you; there s exhilaration in champagne; 'tis the real tipple for a gentleman when he's alone in a tete-a-tete but 'tis not the wine for great company. Now, my dear friends," said. O'llaiai stirring his new brew with the touch of a past master, "if vou want to know a wine that combines the fire of the ma'deira with the elegance of the claret, the power and mellowness of the port with the exhilaration of the champagne, there's nothing in the world can compare to a fine screeching bowl of brandy punch!" CHAPTER XXIV. I HEX Mistress Kitty had sipped half a glass with great show of relish and rakishness, and Ladv Standish, under protest, had sucked a few spoonfuls; when Ladv Maria, stuck in the middle of her fourth helping, protested that she really could not finish the tumbler and forth with began to show signs of incoher ence and somnolence; when O'Hara broke into snatches of song and Lord Verney began to make calf s eyes afresh at the lost Mistress Kitty; when Sir Jasper, hanging round, his wife's cbair showed unequivocal signs of fe pentance and a longing for reconcilia tion, and Stafford himself became more pointed in his admiration of Mistress Kitty and a trifle broader in his jests than was quite consistent with his usual breeding, the little widow deemed it, at last, time to break up the party. There was a vast bustle, a prodigious ordering and counter ordering. "Never mind me," whispered Staf ford, ever full of good humor and tact, I A . T n n wi'fft -1 V. ia "

"Not a foot." asserted O tiara, apparently quite sober and speaking with the most pleasant deliberation In the world, "not a foot will I stir from this place so long as there is a lemon left. :The cursed scoundrel," cried Lord Verney, babbling with fury as he returned from the stables; "the scoundrel Spicer has driven off with my curricle!" "Then shall we be a merry trio to drink daylight in," said Stafford, and cheered.

'Come, dear Lady Maria," said Kitty. "I shall take care -of you. I will give vou a seat in my chaise. We shall m, - drive home together." "Certainly, my dear; certainly," mumbled the dowager. "Who is that remarkably agreeable person?" she requested to know of Stafford in. her prodigiously audible whisper. "My dear," she turned again to Kitty, "I like you wonderfully. I cannot quite remember your name, my dear, but we will go home together." "Dear, dear Lady Maria!" cried Mistress Kitty, honey sweet. "My Lord Verney, give your arm to your revered relative mind you, lead her carefully, she said with all the imps in her eyes dancing, "for I fear Mr. Stafford s cordial has proved a little staggeringafter the night air! And warn her ladyship's attendant to be ready to escort us back in my carriage." Then, taking advantage of Sir Jasper's absence that gentleman might even then be heard cursing his sleepy servants in the yard Mistress Kitty ran over to Lady Standish, who stood wistful and apart at the ingle nook. "My dear," she murmured, "the game is in your own hands." "Ah, no!" returned the other. "Oh, Kitty, you have been an evil counselor r "Is this your gratitude?" retorted Kitty, and pinched her friend with vicious little fingers. "Why, woman, your husband never thought so much of you In his life as he does now! Why, there has never been so much fuss rade over you since you were Dorn. Are these your thanks?" "Oh. for the moment when I can fly to his bosom and tell him all! My fool ish endeavor to make him Jealous, my sinful pretense that he had a rival in my heart "What?" exclaimed the widow, and her whisper took all the emphasis of a shriek. "Fly to his bosom? a hen l have done with you! Bring him to his knees you mean, madam. Tell him all? TpII him all. forsooth. Let him know that you have made a fool of him, all for nothing; let him think that you had never had an idea beyond pining for his love; that no other man has ever thought of you; that he has never had a rival, never will have one; that you are merely his own uninteresting Julia whom nobody wants! Why, Lady Standish, 'tis laying down the arms when the battle is yours. Sheer insan ity! rrodigious, prodigious!" cried Mis tress Kitty; "Is it possible that you and I are of the same sex?" Bewildered, yet half convinced, Lady Standish listened and wondered "Be guided by me," whispered Kitty again. "Indeed, my dear, I mean well by you. Keep j-our secret if you love your husband. Keep it more precious ly than j-ou would keep jpur youth and your beauty, for I tell you 'tis now your most valuable possession. Here, said she, and she took a letter trom her famous bag and thrust it into Ju lia's hands, "here is what will bring him to his knees! Oh, what a game you have upon this drive home if you know how to play it.' What, is this, now?" cried Lady Standish. "Hush!" ordered Kitty, and clapped her friend's hand over tne letter. rroiuise! Here comes your lord!' Sir Jasper had approached them as she spoke. He now bowed confusedly and took his wife's hand. But "A word in your ear," said Mistress TCittv. arresting him as they were about to pass out. "A word in your ear. sir. If a man has a treasure at home he would keep for himself, he will do well to guard it! An unwatched jewel, my good sir, invites thieves. Good night!" e And now in the great room of the Bear inn were left only three, the two gallant gentlemen, O'Hara and Staf ford, and Mistress Kitty. Mistress Kitty's game had been suc cessfully played out, and yet the lady lingered. "Good night," she began, then shot a glance at Stafford. "I wonder," she said innocently, "if my carriage be ready and whether Lady Maria is well installed "I will see," said Stafford simply. and vanished. O'Hara stood by the table, slowly dipping the ladle into the punch and absently pouring the liquor back into the bowl again. She sidled round to him. "Denis!" said she. He turned his wildly bright eyes upon her, but made no answer. "I'm going back," said she, and held ut her hand. He carefully put down the ladle, took the tips of her little fingers and kissed them. But his hands and his lips were cold. "Glory be to God," said he, "it's a grand game you played with me the Bath comedy entirely, Kitty Then he dropped her hand and took up the punch ladle again, with down cast looks. "Will you not give me your arm to my carriage?" said she after a pause. "Ah. Kitty, sure, haven't you broke mv heart for me. and has not the punch fobbed me of my legs?" His wild, bright eyes were deeply sad as he turned them on her, and he was pale as death. She drew back quickly, frowned, hes itated, frowned again and then bright ened up once more. "Then, sir," said she, "when your legs are restored to you, pray let them conduct your heart round to my lodg i-nsr-t . .ind we shall see what can be done toward mending it." She dropped him a courtesy and was gone. s St-"'' ri.'.i r- fnto the c-hnis The Palladium's serial ctories are the best that can be obtained.

IS the carriage rolled homeward ou the Bath road Lady Standish. both hands folded over the mvsterious letter, sat staring out of the window with unseeing eyes. The dawn had begun to break upon a cloudless sky; the air was chill and brisk: mists wreathed white scarfs over the fields. She felt conscious in every fiber of her being that Sir Jasper was eager:;.' contemplating ner iu iue cold gray light. Heart and bram were in a turmoil; the anguish, the violent emotions, the successive scenes of the last forty-eight hours passed again be fore her mind like a phantasmagoria. Partly because of Mistress Bellairs advice and partly because of a certain womanly resentment which, gentle a she was. slill reared itself within her, she did not even cast a look upon her husband, but sat mutely gazing at the land. " Presently she became aware that be had slid an arm behind her nvaist. She trembled a nttie, Dut aiu not turn to him. "Julia," said he in a muffled, uncer tain tone, "Julia, I I have done you injustice." Then, for ieakmsy is as III to extin guish as a fire that smolders, a flame of the evil passion leaped up again within him. "But you must admit," said he, "that I had cause. Your own words, I may say your own confession"Lady Standish turned her bead, lift ed heavy lids and for a moment fixed cpon him the most beautiful eyes in wnriri "'ir." said she: "I made no confession." Her. tongue trembled upon other protestations, yet Kitty s warning carried the day. "Tell me," said he, and bent to ner. "tell me, was it Lord Verney, after all?" Ladv Standish again raised her eyes to his face, and, could such a thing have been possible in a creature whose being was all tenderness, he would have sworn that In her gaze there. was contempt. 'Sir Jasper," said she, "it never was Lord Verney!' And then sue auaea, "Has there not been enough of this?" As she spoke she moved her hands and involuntarily looked down at the letter she held. Then she sat as If turned to stone. The letter was in Sir Jasper's writing and addressed to Mistress Bellairs! "What have you there?" cried he. "Nay," said she; "I know not, for 'tis not my letter, but you will know.' And she held it up to him, and her hand did not tremble, yet was a cold fear upon her. "You wrote It," she said.

"Julia." cried he, "Julia, upon my honor, I swear 'twas nothing, less than nothing, a mere idle bitf gallantry, a jest!" As he spoke he fell upon one knee in the chaise at her feet. "Then I may read it?" said she. "Ah, Julia!" cried he, and encircled her with his arms. She felt the strain ing eagerness of his grasp, she felt his heart beat stormily. With a sudden warmth she knew that after all his love was hers. Then she had an inspiration worthy of a cleverer woman, but love lias nis own geniuses. ' She disengaged herself from his embrace and put the letter into his hand. "Take it," said she. "Julia," he cried, and shook from head to foot, and the tears sprang to his eyes. "I never gave her a serious thought. I vow I hate the woman." Then tear it up," said Lady Stand ish, with a superhuman magnanimity that almost turned her faint. He rose and tore the letter Into 6hreds quickly, lest she should repent. and flung them out of the window. She watched the floating pieces flutter and vanish. In her secret soul shf said to herself? "Mistress Bellairs and I shall be very good friends at a distance!" Her husband was kneeling at her feet again. "Angel," cried he pleadingly, and once more she was In his arms, and yet his jealous heart kept growling within him, like a surly dog that wil": hot be silenced. ' "Julia," said he in her ear, "but one word, one word, my love! Julia, is there' any one, anything between us?" "Oh, that," she said and smiledarchly, "that, sir, you must discover for yourself." Her head sank on his shoulder as she spoke. "You torture me!" he murmured. But she knew that he had never kissed her. with euch passion in all his life before. As her chaise followed on the road, some hundred yards or so behind Sii JaspeVs, Mistress Bellairs, sitting le side Lady Maria (who snored the whole way with rhythmic steadiness), gazed across the livid fields toward the low horizon, where the slow fires of dawn were pulsing into brightness. She was in deeply reflective mood. In her excited, busy brain she revolved many important questions and weighed the gains and losses in her game of "love and hazard" with all the seriousness of the gambler homeward bound after a heavy night. "At least," she thought. "I did a vastly good turnto my Lady Standish. But the woman is a fool, if o sweet one, and fools1 are past permanent mending. I did well," thought she, "to condemn the calf there is no doubt of that. But nay poor O'Hara: How could I ever have called him a cucumber? Th ere, was u love for the taking, nowyetfnp!

"There is an easy heart for you!" she-murmured "A gallant gentleman ,with as pretty a wit as O'Hara himself, and every whit as good a leg. Perhaps," thought Mistress Kitty, yawned and grew sleepy, nodded her delicate head, dreamed then a little dream and saw a silver beau in the moonlight, and woke up with a smile.
