Captain Do Vere leaned against a pillar, pulled his leonine moustache, and watched Miss Daugerfield and her lover circling dnvn the long room with gloomy eyes.

The unusual exertion of thinking had fatigued the youag ofli ccr's mtiillect; the physical exertion of waltzing with .Miss Daugerfield would couutr.ict il.

Mr. Dantree had told her bis whole history, as she supposed, but uo chapter head- ed "Marie De Lansac" had appeared. And as Katberine stood and looked, her lips set themselves in a rigid line, and a light not usually there nor plea- sant to see, came into her gray eyes^ the green light of jealotisy. 'This package belongs to Mr. Dan- tree. Ninou John Thomas was quite light. Here, tell him to â€" or no," ab- rubtly, 'I'll give it to Mr. Dantree my- self.' The package was small, aiid her hand cpsed fii mly over it, as she walked back to the mueic-roora. Mr. Dantree had just fi'iisbed his T^rele-iu chorus, and was smiling and gracious- ly receiving compliments. He made his way to Katheriue's side and drew her hand within hjs arm, as ouo who had a risht. 'My dear child,' he said, 'what has happened now? why, oh why, that face of owl-like solemnity?

'Gaston I' abruptly and with energy, 'did you ever tell a lie ' 'Hundreds, my darling,' responded Mr. Dantree, with promptitude 'thous auds, millions, and likely to do so again. What an absurd question Did I ever toll a lie It sounds like the catechism. As if any man or wo- man lived that didnt tch lies ' 'Si)eak for yourself,' the girl said, coldly; 'i don't, and I can't conceive of any man or woman of lienor doiutr so.

His handsome oliye face was a. mask that uever betrayed him. And low, with a start bo slioh as to be scarcely perceptible, with so faint a paling of the dark face that she failed to see it, he turued to her, calm and cool as ever. 'Marie De Lansac Well. 1 know a young lady of that name in New Or- leans. Who is she, you ask? She's grand-daughter of a French gentleman of that city K and I gave her singing les- sons onc» upon a time. My dear lit- tle Kathie, don't annihilate n e with those flashing gray eyes of yours. There isn't any harm in that, is there? There's no need of the green-eyed moustt'r showing his obuoxioas claws.' He met her suspicious gaze full, and discovered for the first whatau intense ly proud and jealous nature be had to deal with. He was chill with unde- fined fear, btit lie smiled down iu her face uow with eyes as clear and inno cent as the eyes of a child. 'Is this all she asked, Blowly 'or is it one of the many lies yoa find it so necessary to tell ' 'On my honor, no it is the tratii as if I could speak anything else foyoa. But how, in Heaven's name.
