A sudden distaste for the tests] fer- ment. the laughter and merriment. a desire to escape from the very exu- berance of high spirits and cheer led the soldier to make his way slowly 'vâ€"â€"â€"‘_ from the ballroom to the balcony. where, although not removed from the echoes of liveliness within. he looked out upon the quietude of the night. Overhead stretched the sky, a measure« less ocean, with here and there a sil- very star like the light on a distant ship; an unfathomable sea of ether that beat down upon him. Radiant and serene in the boundless calm of the heavens the splendent lanterns seemed suspended on stationary craft peacefully rocked at anchor. Long ings, suppressed through months of absence, once more found full sway. Susan's words were recalled by the presence of the count. A at“)- £0-54...‘ Suddenly the song of “Die scnono brunner” ceased within. and as its pulsations became hushed many of the dancers, an elate, buoyant throng, sought the balcony. Standing in the shadow near the entrance, aroused from a train of reflections by this ab- rupt exodus, the soldier saw among the other merrymakers Constance and the count, who passed through the door, so near he could almost have touched her. ‘ “Here she is," said the count as they approached an elderly lady seated near the edge of the balcony. “Ah. madam,” he continued to the latter. “if you would only use your good offices in my behalf! Miss Carew is cruelty itself.” “Why. what has she done?” asked the good gentlewoman.

The ally in his cause made some laughing response which the soldier did not hear. liimself unseen.

A J]--- And yet something made her dlfler- ent. An lndeflnable new quality ap- peared to rest upon her. He felt his heart beating faster. He was glad he had come. For the moment he forgot his Jealousy in watching her. as with new wealth of perfume the languid breeze stirred the tresses above her pal- Ulv‘uâ€"v â€"_â€"â€" _ lid, immovable features. But the ex- pression of confidence with which the count was regarding her, although os- tensibly devoting himself to her com- panion, renewed his inquietude. Had she allowed herself to be drawn into a promised alliance with that tic tied roue? Involuntarily the soldier’s face grew hard and stern. The count’s tactics were so apparentâ€"flattering at- tention to the elderly gentlewoman and a devoted but reserved bearing toward the young girl in which he Would rely upon patience and perseverance for the consummation of his wishes. But cer- , tainly Constance did not exhibit mark- 'ed preference for his society. On the contrary. she had hardly spoken to him since they had left the ballroom. Now. clasping the iron railing of the balcony. she leaned farther out. The flowers of the vine clamhering up one of the sup- ports swayed gently around her. and she started at the moist caress on her uu‘é-o “Allow rueâ€"your wrap l" exclaimed the count. springing to her side with great aolicitude.

In fact. since he had learned Saint-Prosper was in the city the attorney’s mind had been soar- ing among a cloud of vague possibili- ties. and now. regarding his companion with a most kindly. ingratiating smile. he added: “Besides. when the marquis took you as a child into his household there were. I understood. no legal papers as a child into his housebom were were, i understood. no legal papers drawn!" “1 don’t see what your visit por- tends," said Saint-Prosper, "unless there is some other matter.” “Just so," returned Culver, his doubts vanishing. “There was a small matter â€"a slight commission. Miss Carew re- quested me to hand you this message.” The visitor now detected a marked change in the soldier’s imperturbable hearing as the latter took the envelope which the attorney ofl'ered him. “The young lady saw you at the Mistick Krewe hall last night and, recognizing an old friend”â€"with a slight accentâ€"- , “pressed me into her service. And now, lhaving completed my errand, I will ' wish you good morning." And the law- ‘l yer briskly departed. .

The driver gazed in surprise utter the gentleman who did not wait for his change. but, torbearing inju- dicious comment, gathered up the reins and drove to the nearest cafe. From the carriage the house was some distance. and yet it appeared very near the gate to the soldier. who dimly realized he was passing through a garden where were many flowering plants and where the air was unusual- ly heavy with perfume. Many other detailsâ€"the construction of the house. the size of the verandasâ€"passed with- out attracting his notice. Soon. how- ever. he was seated in a great room. an apartment of old fashioned height and breadth. He felt his heart beating fast. How long did he sit there? No inconsiderable period surely.

Was her voice tremulous. or was it but the thrill of his own heart which made it seem so? mi “I am leaving todayâ€"for France.” At that a touch of color left her face. or was it that a darkening shadow fell upon the house and garden, momenta- rily chastening the outlook? “For France?" she repeated. Her lips quivered. Something seemed to still the beating of his heart. “Constanceâ€"what is it?" he half whispered. She stepped forward suddenly. her hands outstretched. “I wronged you!” she'cried. “I wronged you! I thought the disgrace was yours! Oh. do not speak!" she added passionately. "I have suffered for itâ€"and now. would you mindâ€" pleaseâ€"leaving me?" “You thought the disgrace was mine!" he repeated slowly. “Not my”â€" He broke off abruptly. “And you sufiered for it?" he said wonderingly. “Then you"â€" He arose quickly and ap- proached her. a new expression trans- flguring his bronzed and worn young face. .- She opened her lips I: it to speak. ‘ but the shadow on his face kept her c' silent.

Closely he held her in the surprise and sur. passing pleasure of the moment: then. bending. he kissed her lips. A wave of color flooded her face. though her eyes still sought his. But even as be regarded her the clear. open look grad- ually changed. replaced by one of half perplexity. half reproach. â€" “That night you went awayâ€"why did you not defend yourself ?” she ask- ed finally. “I never imagined any mistake.

The famous Eddystone lighthouse stands fourteen miles on the coast of Land's End and is perhaps the most celebrated in the world. It has often been used as an illustration by poets and preachers. for no other lighthouse is in such a lonesome or dangerous place, and none costs so much money and trouble. There are three keepers. who live there with their families. and the third is on the main coast enjoying a vacation. They relieve one another each month, so that none of the keep- ers remain on duty more than two months at a time. The change and rest are said to be absolutely necessary to preserve the nerves of the keepers. ‘ The lighthouse is 135 feet high, was ‘ erected in 1882 at a cost of $400000 : and rises from a submerged rock. The ;first‘ lighthouse was erected on this rock as long ago as 1697, but was € washed away six years after and was t not replaced for a long time. The sec- ‘y oud was burned down in 1775; the third stood from 1767 to 1882 and was _ famous in history. 8..-? “â€"I' ~â€"_ . e three porsonages properly entitled to itâ€"the pope. the devil and the O’Gor- man Mnhon.
