How could he ever hope to possess the love of this peerless creature? It. seemed to him now more than ever before. that a vast. distance lay be- tween them. There had once been a question of his marrying her, though she might. not be his equal. Was not the question now, as to whether he was her equal“? A vast. Widebstretching gulf seemed to yawn between them. He alone said no word of praise. whiIe the rest. in an eager clamor. exclaimed and apostrophized. It was a little thin to disturb the harmony or bring co or to the pale face. but. it. did. There was a mo- ment's pause in the clumur, a pause as of doubt. and all eyes were lixed on the downcast eyes. hidden by the white lids and long lashes. liven now the words came with dif- ficulty. and ho: contented himself with bending luw over her outstretched hand and kissing it with the rover- ence of a. devotee toward his saint. Guy stood apart and moodily watch- ed her with a grave and wistful look. “And only think, thié is her first appearance!

"The first. time! Is it, not marvel- lous?" repeated Lady Gladys. turn- ing from nut: to another. but. keeping her sharp eyes on Maid-a. “I do not think there is anything marvellous in it. An actress is born. You know yourself. Lady Gladys. that all the studying in the world will not make an actress where nature has been niggardly. Miss Iâ€"Inrtleigh is evidently a. born actress. And then I think we are losing sight of one who deserves inore credit than he is likely to getâ€" And after that first struggle with herself she thought no more of the Consequences. but played with all her heart and soul. It was a. wonderful performance which she and Caryl Wilton gave that titled audience. She forgot. in the abandon of the true artist. that the handsome face, the deep musical voice. belonged to the one who could ruin her at a word, to the man she had sent from her with outstretched hand and eyes from which blazed that, most terrible of thing‘sâ€"a pure woi ian's anger. She forgot everything until it was all over. Then she remembered what she had done. and realized what it meant. She saw it in the look on the face of the man who had led her before the iootlights to receive the nieed of applause which she had earn- ed. And she knew new at what a price she had earned it.

(‘IIAPTICR XIVâ€"Continued Then it flashed through her mind that safety lay in marrying Guyâ€" good. noble Guy. But there againâ€" would Caryl Wilton ht her marry Guy? And yet she would not play with that true heart. for her own sal- vation. And why? Because down in her heart she knew she did not love him, and could not love him. But he was her father. she told her- self with an inward agony. the great- er that, it was hidden by a. smiling face. And she wanted his love. She had never realized before that she needed some loveâ€"some pure and dis- interested love. She was not. as she had been. cold and hard. Her life had seemed to have been impercepti- bly changing her. She was con- fronted by a. great danger. And what. was the danger? She had thought from the very force of habit that what she would most dread would be the loss of the opportunity to avenge her mother's wrongs, and that the shame of an exposure would sting her. But now that the danger was at hand, what was it she dreaded most? The exposure? Yes. that was some- thingâ€"a great. deal; but. after all, it was the tender loving care to which she had so unconsciously accustomed herself. She loved the old marâ€"lov- ed him at a child might a father who had done her no wrong. She had promised to wrong him in reâ€" turn. it is true, and she had shaped all her actions to that end; but, come weal or woe. she promised her- self that she would henceforth take all the love he could give her, and requite it in such kind that he would never let her be taken from him. What if he should die? He did not look strong. She noticed it more now than before. He was not what he had been when she came to him. Suppose he should die and the ex- posure should come afterward? He was her chance of safety and he was noble and good. and she might have him for the wishing. Then them was Caryl “ilton. who was her threatening ruin. She knew him by reputation to be a roue. a man of the world, blase and indiflerent. She believed he would stop at nothing to compel her to be his. Well, and what was her feeling for him? What was it. indeed? Guy left. them to call the carriage. and Majda stood listening to the re- grets of the duchess and of the guests that she should leave them so soon. And who was there in all the bril- liant throng who said apter or more witty things than she? And who was there who hid the anguish that she did? 0r. now that there was a witness of her fillSDllCSS. did it come to her more strongly than ever before that she was. in plain words, an impos- tor? She haul a right to the love and admiration of the old man who drew her to his side with such a tender touch of his trembling hand. But had she a right to the humility with which he looked at her. as if begging her pardon for the liberty of loving her‘.’ Maids. left the brilliant. assemblage _with 9 smile upon her lips and threw It was apparent at once that Maida was the bright particular star of the evening, for no sooner did she make her appearance in the drawing-room than she was surrounded by a throng of admiring people. each eager to do homage to the genius which had held them enthralled. She knew they looked upon her as something above them, and removed from them by a touch of the divine. Ami what (lid she know of herself? What, had the last hour brought to her consciousness? Was it, not that she might at any moment be hurled from her high place? Was it, net that it. rested with the whim of a maxi whether or nor she should eon- tinue to hold the high place she had usurped? But was that. all that trnubled her? Was it unly that she might, lose the good things of the world to which she had so accustomed noise” that it had begun to seem as if they actual- ly did belong to her? “And it? might add to what I have said." he went on. with a pc- culiar smile hovering about his lips. “it would be that Miss IIurtloigh is in need of a rest.” Ah, what Maid-.1 would have given if she could have slipped away to where she could commune alone with her thoughts. But that was denied to her. and she put us good a face as she could upon it. and permitted Lord Algy to lead her to the draw- ing-room, all dressed as she was as Juliet. She knew that he had meant that it would be dangerous for her to again run the risk of being discover- ed as he had discovered her. She forced a quiet smile to her lips. and slowly. almost painfully answered: “I think I understand, Mr. Wilton It is very good advice.” There was an instant murmur of disapproval at this. but he seemed not, to hear it, so intent was he in studying the face which had been turned toward the floor as he pro- ceeded. Presently she looked up and st‘rlaiight, into his eyes. “Yes, dangerous," he repeated. “You see, such a character is a strain even upon one who has learned endurance from long professional ex- perience; how much more severe must the strain be upon a young lady who has undergone no such training. If I might advise Miss Hartleigh, I would say, Do not repeat it." Caryl was standing, leaning indo- lently on the back of a chair, and he stroked his mustache with his fingers as his eye sought Maida's. She look- ed at him. CHAPTER XV -‘vvv‘u.’ ‘ â€" thing but: ihgvtgroud, selflsustaining creature she seemed. And for the first time since her home-coming she threw her arms around his neck and voluntarily kis- sed him. And it was done in such a fond. sweet way that he was reas- sured as to her illness, and put it down as nothing but fatigue; even enjoying the thought in his loving heart that he had a confidence with that peerless daughter of his whom .any- Sir Richard was greatly alarmed at first, but he soon saw that her ex- citement was wearing itself oil and becoming less, so he did nothing but gently soothe her and say reassuring loving words to her. “No. no. I won't. I won't." she said, putting his hand with a pathet- ic tenderness. “I will not play again. It does excite me. Butâ€"but it does not matter for this once. for if I had not been a little excited I might not have told you how I love you. You see. I needed you to know it. and that is why I told you. Oh. let me cry! Do not mind. It will do me good." She sank. back and ‘sobbed and laughed and sobbed alternately in mild hysterics. It was the first. time she had ever done such a thing, and it. told how great the strain on be: nervous system had been. “But I do love you. father. And I need your love. I need it. father. You understand that. don't you?

I am happy. lather." _ "'You are tired to-night. dear. and you must be careful. You must. pot. indulge in too much of this excuteâ€" ment." He leaned forward and took her two hands in his, saying. trcmulous- ly: “If you did but know. my darling. how happy you make me, you would be happy yourself." 7 She saitflms :tlmost in a. whisper, but it was all distinct enough to the "No. my darling,” he answered. rcassuringly; “you have loved me more than I have deserved, but not more than I would give my life to have/' “It is nothing. father," she an- swered. feverishly. "it is nothing at all. Father. has it ever seemed to you that, I was not grateful for the love you give me? Has it ever seem- ed as if I did not love you enough in return? Tell me, father. dear.” There was a surprising pleading in her voice and manner. and the old man. who had never seen her so be- fore was frightened. It was a man and he had his hands in his pockets and he was smoking. And there was that in the poise of the figure and the very air which told her that it, was Caryl Wilton. who had not gone to bed. 110 was out there, and he was thinking of her. “My darling. my darling. my pro- cious one!" cried Sir Richard. in alarm. "18 it. more than fatigue? Is iLâ€"â€"" Uh. Heaven! was there no escape from him? She fell back in the car- riage with a little gasp of terror, and buried her face in her hands. “If I could only think calmly." she said to herself. “If I could think away by myself. I could face the dun- gcr and estimate it. I may see my way yet. 110 shall not frighten me by a look." She leaned forward as the carriage drove out of the gxoundos. for she would like the cool evening air to strike on her fevcrcd face. As she gazed out into the starry darkness she saw a tall figure standing under the gloom of a tree. She had had a fear all the time that she remained at the castle that Caryl would return to the drawing,- room, even though she heard him say that he was going to retire. But when he did not come. and she Was actually going away, she felt a cer- tain relief, as if the inevitable strug- gle had been postponed. As if Guy comprehended her wish, i he said he would sit with the (liivei. and so she had with he: only the old man who so devotcdly loved her. The statue to be erected in Queen’s Park in front of the Parliament building, at Toronto, Ont., will be a worthy memorial of Queen Victoria. It is by the Italian sculptor Raggi, who has long been one. of the fore- most exponents of his art in England where he has lived for many years. The statue will be of bronze, a replica of one. in Hong Kong. Her Ma- Jesty gave the sculptor a number of sittings. and warmly praised the re.- sult. The panels in bronze set into the granite base will represent scenes in Her Majesty’s life. STATU 1'3 0 I“ QUEEN VICTORIA AT TORONTO The inmates of a Yorkshire asy- lum were engaged in sawing wood, and the attendant thought that one old fellow was not working as hard ' as he might. A professional burglar in Berlin found a new and original way of adding to the ordinary profits of his profession. Atter each burglary he sent a. full account of it to the daily newspapers. and {or this he received payment in the usual Way. But he tried his plan once too often. The editor became suspicious and est. li‘ere. I say. called out the attend- ant. what are you doing? You'll never saw wood in that fashion. Turn the saw over.

Well. I will fight!" She threw herself down on the bed. all dressed as she was. as it she would let the matter rest there. And with her head buried in her hands, she went to sleep. murmuring. with the last rays of consciousness: "I know he loves me." To be Continued. “Yes. yes. That seems easy enough; but is it all? ()h.

Would not Guy, who loves me so passionately, shrink from me' as from on leper? 0h, Heaven! what shall I do? Heaven! I call on Heaven! What shall I do? I shall light it out to the bitter end! 0h, why, why was it not I who lay there where my sister lay that dread- ful night? alone with her thoughts. just as on that. first. night. she had been alone with them. “Now let me face the situation," she said to herself. "I am calmer now. I almost betrayed myself to the dear old man. but I do not mind. He knows I love him and he will be the happier for it. I am happier for having told him.

Then the jeweller began to make enquiries for the handsome stranger who had entered the shop at the same time its, the Vagabond. He Was nowhere to be found neith- er were a number of valuable trinkets that had been in another show case. Then the jeweller tumbled to the flat. It was a put-up job. The loafer and the swell had been in lea- gue. The tramp had diverted atten- tion while the swell filled his pock- ets. The loafer was taxed with this, but of course swore his innocence. and the missing jewels were never re- her he had received. and cried {us help. The police rushed in and the loafer was secured. having been frus- trated in his attempt to get the show-case open. Suddenly the disreputable imrudnr lcupt on to a show-case and lwguu breaking the glass. In- a moment the shop-keeper remembered the lulâ€" tpr ho. had received. and cried fut The jeweller pooh-[mulled the ialen, and dismissed the letter from his mind. 0n the day when “t‘upitnine X" had said he Would put in an up- penrnnce the jeweller remembered the existence of the letter. and determin- ed to be on his guard. About. one o'clock two men came into the shop. as complete contrasts as could be imagined, the one tall and elegantly dressed, the other shab- by and dirty to the lust degree. The swell Wus evidently annoyed at the presence. of the loafer. and show- ed his annoyance. The two men were standing: with some other Workmen at the gates of their factory, when suddenly the re- jected workman turned to his fellow workmen. “Comrades," he cried, "Jules Le- maitre has stolen from me Annette Duret. I am going to kill him." Then he. turned to Lemaitre, and without another word plunged a knife he had drawn from his breast into the unfortunate man's heart. The murderer then walked calmly away to the police station before his horrified companions had had time to realize to the full what had been done and gave. himself n[- to justice. 1N BROAD DAYLIGHT. The letter concluded by saying it was written to give the je\\'ellvr ev- ery chance.__ A jewellcr in the Rue (‘apuchin In» ccivod a letter which Wus signed "1.0 (‘glpitainc X." which said that this same mystcrinus “captain" Was gn- ing to commit a burglary in the slum 0m: of the must (luring rublwrios of modern times, and one the porn-1m- tor of which Was novor approhmulcd. occurred in Paris about six years Strange to relate. a crime such as was unfolded in the anonymous note took place at the very hour and in the street mentioned. A respectable city merchant was robbed of every- thing he possessed in the most nug- ‘ant manner. Neither was there any clue forthcoming as to the identity of the tootpnd. A few weeks passed by. and again the superintendent received an anony- mous note. telling him that a crime would be committed in such a street at Ouch and such a time. This time the officer did not intend to be CAUGHT NAPI’I NC. IIe communicated the letter to his subordinates. and a strong posse of police was concealed in the neighbor hood of the expected outrage. But. strange to relate no outrage occurred. This time the letter Was really a hoax. The sequel came out a few hours later, when it was dis- covered thut a house on tlze other side of the town had been broken into and plundered by a burglar or burg- lars, who were never captured, hut who had left a note in the dining- room of the hurgled house which read as follows: “Keep your men at work, Mr. Superintendent! I reckon we've diddled you this time." A crime that was curiously coldly prvmcditutcd, occurred in France» some time ago. which proves that the perpetrator of it must have boon [ms- scsscd of no ordinary .sharc of calm vindictivcncss. Two \Vorkuwn were in low with the same girl. The rejvctod suitor for her hand was madly lllCOllSPd against the successful lover. For days his hatred snmuldvrcd. At last, it broke into a. flmuc. The police-superintendent. used. as all such men are to receiving hoaxes without number. took no notice of the letter, neither did he communi- cate the contents of it to any of his subordinates. They Can tho Police Every Chance oi Catching Them. The student of criminology is be ing perpetually confronted by pro- blems that open out such new vistas of the complexity of the human brain that any theory that he might have formed seems destined to be overâ€" thrown. It would seem. indeed. as if some men become criminals simply and solely through the motive of show- ing an amazed world to what limits the originality of their methods will carry them. A few years ago the superintendent of police of a large manufacturing town in England received an unsign- ed letter. telling him that the writer was going to commit an act of highâ€" way robbery in such a street at such 80B ULBVBB BUBBLABS. an hour. a'nd inviting thé ‘whulc of the police force to witness the outâ€" rage.
