That it waa eyer in her mmd, as in his, he knew fall well and be had edacatad himself to bear every taaut in ailanoe, that Lie present hamihty might perchance atone for the old iusalt which he dared not ask to forgive, lest the tnention of it shoald be esteemed a repitition. "I am not poor now, and my parse is at yoor service. If I were Forton- atoR, I woald ask yoa to share it." He saw her eyes sparkle with tri- umph. Love lent him subtle intuition he divined that, in spite of her cold- ness and disdain, hiis homage was sweet to her. Never had he found her in tbe melt- ing mood, never bad she relaxed the vigilance with which she seemed to impress upon him that she held him as almost beneath her scorn and he hoped â€" the wish being father to the thought â€" that, sooner or later, she would be content with the unacknow- ledged expiation, and forgive. She might have broaght him to her feet, he reasoned, by the merest »oi»p- gjn of bypocrisy soine womexi practise 80 readily. That she (delighted to humiliate him be knew but, if tliere were not behind the delight in his punishment a half- tormed intention eventually to condoue tbe offence for which it was inflicted, why could she not take her revenge and let him go One look of interest, of sympathy, of tenderness would bring bim to her feet. Ue believed that she knew it, and kept watch and ward over herself lest that look should be bestowed. He thought t];iat she would like to have him there, pleading as for dear life, baring his heart to her, suing for pardon and for love; but he hoped that her desire to postpone the eclair- citsement arose from an undefined wish first of all to punish him thoroaghly foi by-gone siu. He did not fathom the depth of Viola's revenge. It was mapped cut so plainly in that aching heart cf hers, which he had rendcrel desolate. It would indeed be sweet to pierce his soul with titter poisoned words, with barbed darts that should hold and sting and rankle, as for five years haJ rankled the remembrance of that hap- py time in which, not content with befooling her, he would faiu have brought her to shame. Her revenge would be all tbe sweeter for the thought that she had used no womanly arts to expedite it, that he had come blindly to his doom, in spite of her coldness, her indifference, her contempt. It was pleasant to her already, al- though she had occasional misgivings as to the completeness ol her power over him. What would it be in tbe supreme moment Sometimes she faltered, not in her purpose, but in the determination that she would not lure him to his fate. This very day of the bazaar, as he stood before her. frank and fearless, a king amongst men, she burned with impatience lor the hour when, bowed and helpless, he shonid lie at her mercy. At her mercy â€" ay, her mercy should be such as, in the old days, he had meted uuto her t "You will come to the oonoert to- night f" she asked. It was not an invitation, but the coldest of conventional inquiriea. "Will vou be there " "I sing," replied Miss Bucgot. "By the-bye, that reminds me that I shall need a litt respite. Dr. Preece, can you find a lady-substitute to take charge ot my stall " "Let me escort you t" the carriage," said Lord Armidale, offerintf his arm when the substitute had been found and thanked- And, with a flush of resentment, she accepted a courtesy she could not readily refuse. Surpsssingly beautiful she looked, as, with that flush still upon her cheek, she swept through the throng which drew aside to let them pass. "A well mated pair," murmured Colonel Pettitt maUciously to Miss Clara Dallas, who tossed her head and turned away. "I did not answer your qneatum about tbe concert," saiui Lord Amu- dale. I have forgotten it," repbed Viola listlessly. ,. "I shall certainly be there. I would not lose the opportunity of hearing you sine for anything you could men- tion, liiss Barpot." By way of reply she gave him a glance, calm, supercilious, and quea- tioninif, as though to ask what pos- sible interest she could feel in such an announcement. N evertheless tha oer- tainty that be would be there recurred to her daing the homeward drive joon often tiian aha would bava likad bim to know.

All in good time her turn wonld come once more. Ouce more she stood before them. It was an English ballad this time, simple and homely. After lung delib- eration, she had chosen it, thinking of bim the while. Her eyaa fell upon hia face, eager, expectant, in keeping with tiie hush, tiie dead silence of the crowded room. Once more she eiang to bim alone. What did he think of it all Throagh one verse he watched her, decked out in her bravery ot silk and flowers and lace and jewels, which made her mar- vellous l)eauty yet more fair. Through one verse he hung upon the wondrous melting tones of her superb voice then he covered liis face wiUi his hand. And she, magnificent actress that she was at that moment, with a heart as hard as the nether millstone, re- jciced to tbink that every note echoed in his soul. The concert was over. He came to band her to her carriage, with his grand features, so noblo, yet so deli- cately cut, all flushed and moved as her song had left them, and his blue eyes shining with unutterable love. "You will let roe come to you to- morrow t" he whispered. And she leaned back in her comer pretending not to hear. Mrs. Robert and "dear Clara" were with her, oi she would have langlied aloud with glee. At last her revenue was mear at hand. To-morrow, by that hour, he would have knelt before her, and the iron should have entered into his soul. "If you please, misa." said a foot- man, when they reached the Orange, "the Squire would be glad to see yon for a few minutes in the library.' A thrill of shapeless apprehension troubled Viola Burgot as she crossed the tlireshold of theroom in which Iter father "would be glad to see her for a few minutes." Illumined by firelight and lamplight, the library was yet in serai darkness, for the lamp was turned low, and a shade concentrated the feeble radiance upon the table on which it stood. The long tiers of books had grim and ominous aspect, and the girl shudder- ed as she mentally called them a regi- ment of the dead. As William Burgot came forward to hand her a chair, the gleam of the embers showed that he was pale and agitated. Then he went back to his own seat, nnd his features became in- distinguishable. Silently, Viola nerv- ed herself to hear something as yet in- definite, but terrible. "I want you to tell me. Viola." said William Burg Jt â€" and his voice sound- ed solemn and strangeâ€" "whether you have ever received from mo less than a father's kindn88 and a father's care?' "Never I" answered the girl impul- sively. Then her thought reverted to that old Italian life, when she had been al- lowed to rove as freely as a wild bird and to busy or amuse herself as inclin- atioQ might prompt. Littie paternal care had been shown in those days but the freedom had been in harmony with her surroundings, and accorded with her sense of a general fitness of things; moreover he had been kind always "Never " she repeated, by way of confirmation. "Then it will surprise and shock yon to learn tiiat I am not your fath- er, nor am in any way related to you." It was a cruel blow, but merciful ic its directness. With a stunned feel- ing. Viola half rose from her chair and eat down again. "Who â€" who are you " she gasped. "My name is Charles Singleton. Do you remember the mined oottage to which I took you one day and my description of the gamekeeper and his wife who lived thore when I was a boy? Those people were my father and mother." "Gj on â€" go on I" murmured "^ola. The man was rough enousrh, the woman waa a refined and educated lady. What secret in bar early life brought them together I do not kuow; bat Uie ill assorted union was not for her a happy one. Her greatest con- solation was the task of educating me and fitting me for a better position. I repaid her care and fulfilled her am- bition by running away from home to enlist as a private soldier. I had been two years in the ranks when the regi- ment waa joined by a young subaltem, in whom I raeogoiaed by eld playmate and foater brother, WiJUam Burgot."

"The marriage was valid enough in Italy where your father proposed to eud hia days, bat, when a Protestant EuKlishman marries a Roman Catho- lic foreigner, there are certain forms which must be complied with to legal- ize the marriage as an English one. From ignorance or carelessness, these forms were neglected. By English law you have no ri(;lit to inherit your father's property or even to bear his name." There was a long silence, deep and deadly, as though be had struck her to the heart. She did not gasp or moan or cry out she bore the blow with stuliborn fortitude, constraining herself to hold her peace until she could ask, iu ordinary accents â€" "Why keep this secret for twenty years, and tell it to me today " "Because I am very near detection. Tbe Colouel Pettitt to whom you were talking knew William well as a beard- less youth, and me ns William's ser- vunt. Ue has forgotten me, but is astonished tc find mc so unlike his old chum.

To do so is the only chance to retain all that we have gain- ed. Your woman's wit must advise and help me, Viola." "I will not perpetuate a wrong," said the girl. "There is no wrong. Duke Burgot intehded the property to revert to Wil- liam and to yourself, and your moral right to it is not affected by the ille- {,ality of your claim. However, I do not press for immodi.ate decision Ool. Pettitt will not bo here till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

"I wish you good night," she an- swered abruptly and with that she rose from her cliair, gathered her robes about her, and swept from the room. Cbavteb IX. It was tbe morning after the bazaar. Mrs. Robert and "dear Clara" were discussing the events of the previous day, and the widow was growing ex- cited. "I tell you, Clara," she enfarced, "you are letting Lord Armidale slip through your fineers. as you have done so many smaller fry. Until yesterday i confess I had hopes but his pointed attentions to that hiiug'ity minx Viola dashed them all to the ground." "I do not beheve she would accept him." "Bidic^ousl" cried Mrs. Bebert. "It is trae she does not go purring about him with pretty airs and win- ning wave and soft speeches, as you or I would do that is not her forte. Every woman to her style and Viola's is to be erand and imperious and dis- dainful as an empress tbe ro^ suits, her type of beauty." "Beauty I" exclaimed "dear Clara" in angry protest. "We cannot but admit that she is very lovely, my dear. E very body says so â€" raves about it in fact and what everybody says must be correct. Bat, as 1 was remarking, Viola does not go about purring about bi°ii â€" she affects superb indifference but I have r tudied her closely, and I am convinced she intends to be lady Armidale. What girl in her senses would refuse such a matoh and such a man? The prize i-i lost to you, unless yon can win it by some bold coup." "Such as making him an offer and forcibly abducting him in the event of ita refusal," said Gktra, with bitter aareaam. "Dear Clara," retorted Mrs. Robert, in tba moat dulcet of marmura, "nnoe you think proper to turn the subject to ridicule. I will let it drop. At your age I had accepted the moet eligible of my suitors, had married him, and war a widow.

It came out that he had been connected with a gang of robbers, the other members of which he promptly dis- charged as ofteu as they wore brought before him.

BELLS IN BELGIUM. At the present time the oountrymost' celebrated for its iur^o and varied col- lection of bells, in addition to its ot'aer interesting associations, is Belgium â€" a factrelized by comparatively few tourists when they commcuce to in- vestigate-its queer old towns. But if tbe object is once stuliod. the plea- sure to be derived from a sojourn here is greatly enhanced. This land of bell founders, particularly those of tbe six- teenth aud eigutecuth centuries, whcu Van den Gheyns, Ilemouy aud Dum- 6ry lived. Ot those three llemony attained the greatest eminence, con- structing, acnongst nuuieroas other works, the Mechlin cLiincR and the greater number of Antwerp bells. The caihedcral at Autwcrph contains fifty- five bolls, besides the carillon and five other bulls of tjrcat antiqnity of, these latter the two principal ones are the cnrfew, and tbe carolus, given by Charles V which is only rung twico in tlie year, and requires sixtoon meu to pull it. This bell wiis exceedingly costly, being composed oi silver, cop- per and gold, aud is valued at the sum of $100,000; theacti^^uof the clap- per has worn away tho- sides a good deal. Diimery was the founder of tho Bruges carillon, which consists of forty bells aud one lar^'u bourdon. Looking over the Belgian plains from the belfry of NoUo Dame at Antwerp (the spire of which is 403 feet from the foot of tho tower), a magnificent pauoniuiic viow is obtain- ed no less than 1'2G slcei'lcs can bo counted, iucludiini Mochliu Catlie- dralandSt.Gudule at LruiiNcls.auJfrom these belfries Ciirillon are wufteJ on the air, playing opunitic aiij other melodies, marking the hours as they pass in musical uianurr. It is quite a mistaLc to suppose that IxjIIs rung every seven luiuutcs is nu iuterrap- tion their cunsiaat rccurreji'n ia found to give life and viv:iitv to these quaint old cities, besides penetrating into the country for inil(;f rouud and it is wonderful, after s residence here, how the familiar mu.sic is miss- ed when no longer Jr. ird. The geograpliical asiii-ct of Belgium is well adapted for U.e trunsmissioa of carillons, as it hn i'S'^n found that the penetrating sound on lo!ls is much incressed by being rung in a plain or valley, especially a water valley. The beifrey at Tournay. whicl; rocks when the waether stormyin a yery ominous manner, contains forty b-.lls. A lit;ht is always kept buriiiu;; :iftfr dark in the highest g.illory,a;iii if a fire brtjaks 6ut,thetecaii is sounded by tli" w;iich- man, who is there iiig'ut tiiui day. Ttie construction of tho tambour car- illon which produces su'-h charmin!{ music, is exactly similar in priucipl" to' a musical box. It conRists of k barrel with a nnrubcr of little spikes on it, each of which lifts a tougue. which pulls a wire, and raises a ham- mer that strikes the require ' note on a bell In the Itst century the claveoin.or key board, was nsed, and the carillon- eurs used to preform on this. One of the most celebrated of tliese players was Van den Glipyns, who Ucied t» perform quite elaborate pieces of musi on the belle. The reason that so inany belfries haye beenerccted in Belgium is doubt- less owing to the ince'^sant civil warn that used to ravage the country. I» was on this account that in fortify- ing towns like Ghent and Burges, the first thing to be done was to build the tower, aud the secrml to put up tho bells, iu Older to have the means uf calUug the people together whenever an ont break ocoui-ed. Acc^'i-'liin; to this arraustomenl, it frcqui-ntly hap-' pened that the bells were the properly of tbe town, whilst the tvTr beioug- ed to the catbedcral cliapti-r. These' belfries areexteutivcly decorated witli the names of the tourists visitiug them, and at Strasbnrg the signatures of Goethe aud Klopsteck are shown with pride. It seems sn extraordin- ary thing that in thi: as well as in other cathedrals, there is no better machanical appliance used for swiug bells than the wheel, with a rope over it. which is precisely tho plan emplojr- ed by the Chiiose more tiiuu a thoo- sand years aco.
