There was noreat stake than a simple game of chesss tb^ lotted at one another steadBy liivikn inat a n *, aad then began the gamer The two ffentlemen a{proa6hed. Peter Dangerfield took his plMa he- hind the ebair of the widow; Mr. Dantree leaned lightly oyer that of Kathie. They stood hke two eeeonds watching a finel. and neither spoke. k profoand stillness filled the long, velyet-hnng, lamplit drawing-room, in whjah yon conid bear the light falling of the cinders in the grate, the cease- less beating of the rain on the glass. Which wonld win The widow, it seemed. In the gleam of the lampligiit there waa a flnsh on her cheek that was not all ronge, a sparkle in her black eyes, that was not all bellsdonn- She wore a TKine-eolonred silk eUcoUetU, and her pinmp, white shonlders aud arms shone like marble Uie rich, ruby-red jewels flashed on lier fingi-rs. on her neck a bracelet of fine gold and rubies eneireled her wriat, and a crimson rose nestled in the shining, Inxnriaiit black- ness of ber hair. All crimson and black â€" with a fiery intensity of pur- pose fluHbing ber face, and that peoul iar glitterinr smile of hers on her thin lips. Gaston Dantree thou^bt of soixe beautiful Cirae â€" some fatal siren come on earth to work ruin and darkness. 'And yet. after all,' he thought. 'I believe in my soul Eatlierine is more than a match for her. How coolly â€" Dow thoroughly calm and self- possess ed she sits, not one pulse beating the quicker â€" while thfl eyes of ber enemy are on fire with her deTilish determina- tion to win. In a long drawn baUle of any kind betireen tliose two, I'd back the heiress of Scarawood.' Then more and more absorbed in the game he forj,'3t even to thmk. He lieot over until bis crisp black curls touched Katlierine's cbeeK. Bhe glanced up at him for a second â€" her still face brightening â€" a faint colour coming in her cheeks. 'A drawn battl?, is it not, Gaston ' slia said, 'and a true Dangerfield pre- fers death to defeat.' Mrs. Vavasor saw both look sa^ile. and a savage renolution to win at all hazardR possessed her. Bho knit her Ktraight black brows aud be nt to the game, her lips compressed in one BtraigUt red lino. She hated Kathor- inc that mniucut with un lutenBity she iiad never felt before. How coolly she sat there making her moves, with a face of msrblc, while site was thrilliiig in every yein with a fever of excite- ment. Aud how she loyed that man behind her, aud how happy she was m that love. 'And to her mother I owe all I have ever suffered â€" the sin, the sorrow, the shame 1 Pray Heaven they may fix the wedding-day speedily, or I shall never be able to wait I wouder how 1 have waited all these years and years. Ah I a false move my lady, a false move. The victory is mine ' But the exultant thought oatme too soon. Eatberine's move, tnade after long deliberation, certainly looked like a false one â€" the widow answered in a glow of triumph. A second later and she saw her mistake â€" Eatherine's false-seeming moye had been made with deliberate intention. Her eyes flashed for the first time- â€" she made a last rapid pasj and rose conqueror. 'Checkmated!' she cried, with a slight laueh of triumph. *I knew I should vanquish yon iu the end, Mrs. Vavasor.' -i â- ' 'J^ncrl' annonneed the o^itler. flinging wide the door, and Miss I»n- gorfieldtook the arm of Mr. Dantree aud swept with him into the dining- room. 'Yon did that splendidly, Eathie,' he said 'you have no idea how prond I ara of your conauest and she was so sure of winning. She hates yoo as those little yeuomour women only can hate â€" do you know it ' 'Certainly 1 know it,* Ktthenne re- sponded carelessly. 'I have known it ever since I saw her first. She hates me and could strychnine me this mo- ment with all tli« pleasure in life.' 'But why, I wouder ' said Mr. Dan- treo. 'you never knew her before she came here â€" yon never did anything to harm her ' 'My dearest Gaston, it ia not always the people who have done something to harm us we dislike the most. We detest them because we detest them. Mr«. Vavasor and 1 are antagonistic we would iijinply hate each other under anv circvnBef;j^ceR. How bent she was on winning tJiat game, oudi â€" I should ba*« i^ed af ;nortificatioa if she liad.'

"When ber cup of bliss is fullest and at her very hpa, I shall dash it down. And my brilliant, Imaghty high-spir- itnd heiress of Scarswood, how will it be with yon then ?* Sir John was in his place â€" a darkly moody host, amid ihf lights, the flow- ers, and the wines. Mr.. Vavasor was even in higher spirita than nsaal. Mr. Dangerfield was talkative and agreeable, Eatberine was happy, and dispoeed to oe at peace with the world and all therein, even Mrs. Vavasor. She was loved, she was belovedâ€" all life's greatest happiness is said in that. For Mr. Dantree, be was simply de- lightful. He told them iUimitabls stories of life ia tbe aontbern States, until even grim Sir John relaxed into interest, and after dinner iu the draw- ing-room sang for them bis favorite after-dinner song, "When tbe Wine Cup is Sparkling Before Ua," in bis delicious voice, that enchanted even those who bated him most. The piano stood in a shadowy recess down at one extremity of the long room â€" Eathenne and he had it all to them- selves. Mrs. Vavasor was busy with some flimsy feminine handiwork. Mr. Dangerfield sat beside her, turning over a book of photographs, aud Sir John, lying back in his easy chair, kept his eyes closed as though asleep. His faoe wore a worn look of care â€" ho was watching ihosa two shadowy figures at the piano, and as he listened to the man's voice, so thrilliugly sweet, as he looked at his faceâ€" the lamp- light streaming on his dusk Spanish beauty, he scarcely wondered at Eath- erine's infatuation. 'i'aircr than a woman and more un- stable than water,' he thought, bitter- ly, 'and this is the reed she has choaen to lean upon through life. My poor httle Eathie, aud I am powerless to serve yoa â€" unless â€" I speak and tell all. Heaven lutlp yon if this man ever finds out the tritth.' 'Sing raotoraothingScotch, Gaston,' Eatherine said. Slie was seated iu a low fauteuil, close beside him, hor hands lying idly in hur !i:p â€" lier head back among the cushions. It was characteristic ol this youug lady that she had neyer done a stich of fancy Work in hor life. She was quite idle now. perfectly iiappy â€" Ii.-itemug lo the howling of the Ootoljor Htorm in the park, and ilr. Dautroe's exquisite siug- 'Sing aomething Scotcli â€" a ballad. If I have a weakness, which is doubt- ful, it is fir Scotch songs.' Mr. Dantree her.rJ-but to obey. He ran his fiiigors ligbtly over the keys, smiling slighttv to himself, and glanced half- maliciously at the girl's snprpme- ly contented face. 'How well pleased she looks,' he thought; 'I wonder if I cannot chauga that bhssfnl' expression. Mauy women have done ma the honour to full iu lore with me, but I d^n't thiuk any of them were quite so hard hit as you, not even excepting Marie.' He played a prelude in a plaintive minor key, wonderfully sweet, with a wailing understrain, quite heart-rend- ing, and aang.

He /uid changtsd the expre^sion.of that sensi- tive faoe craellj^ â€" it lay back now against die ruby red oi the velvet, as colourless as tho winter snow of which he sanii. He arose from the piano with a laugh. â- Eathie, yon are aii white as a ghoft. I have given yoa tbe blues with my siuginf, «r borad joa to daatb. Which? She laughed a little as she rose.

The Leadville Democrato says A.i» epis')de that was quite amusiaK to a small circle of spectators ocenrred at the county gaol a few days ago. when' one of the"cro8i-roaders"waB brought in for board. Mike Govern, to wbmr has been given the sobriquet of- Limp Leg," acquired this title from the faoi that whsu he was engaged in a leoiti- ment occupalioii be was a victinrio m railroad accident, and bis iujuriee- necessitated ampntation at the knee^ Mechanism furnished a substitute for foot and calf, and he started out to be a gambler. His crippled leg hindered him seriously from bard work. II was easier to stoal than to labor, and his "game' limb was a fort and a bul- wark against the vnrgant act. Con- sequently he had every natural advaa tai;efora shining light as a ioaCr, aud he stood on street corners unmol- ested. 'Einailp Limp Leg was'arrest- ed for complicity in a burglary in Chicago, and be w«b sent to the penit- entiary. Haying served his time, he naturally drifted to tho west after he had established his identity as a bur- glar, and after Laving bocu arrested repc Ititly on suspicion; and a fkw^ weeks ago, when tho burglars were doing extensive work here, he was agam 'aken in.. There was httle evi- dence before the grand jnrt' aud upon a '♦nrra.iif'wasmirlrcd "Not a true bill." The doors were ipt-u to Limp,' Leg aud the Jailer, Reese Tucker,told him that he might go. At this junc- ture Sam Tate step^ied forward and whispered something in the ear of the' Jailer Tucker. Tho jailer iudulced in a bland smile, aud turning to the fellow, who iiad hugereJ for a moment said "Limpy, let's see yfirnr tool dhbsP before you go, will you ?.* "What do you mean " replied Limp Leg, feigniu the most profoand ignorance of what the jailer referred to. "Oh, you needn't be afraid, the nrand jury said you could go, aud we want to see where you carry your bur- glars tools." • "Burglars' tools " exclaimed ihnp" Leg, as the shade of color passed across his features. "Yes, the set that you carry in your wooden le:;."eontiuued the jailer "You'd oettar show us the trick, now,' or we'll have you re-arrested. If you' do, we'll give you just one hour to got out of town wi^ your stock of tools." At this Limp Leg reseated himself,- and, pulling up his pants leg, he ex-' hibited tbe catk, addition of extaa» ion. "If you think you can findanjrthimr wrong with my leg-jost Sook at it yon^ 6elf,"said Limp L«^,as be tbnist itoal tO'.T^d the goaler. "Touch the spring I" shoated voice frchi behind tlie bars. "Touch the ppriug, Limpy." ' pcatcl the gaoler to the /ellow wbo ^vas now wild with wrath.
