TLej woold have goqe Booaer but for the unexpected asriTal of his consiu â€" the sick jouuk lady front Essex. *t5he came on the night of the fane tai, and most nnezpActeu. She was tall, and dressed iu dark clothes, and. â€" i(, â€" bnt this was only a uotion of miue â€" if Mies Daugerfield had not been dead â€" ' 'You saw the sick young lady,' said the obtain. 'Ouly once, and I should say the height end 6gure very similar to that of the dead lady.' 'Where did she go.' •They all weut up to London, I be- UeTe.' That was enongh, nnd to LonJan also weut Captain O'DjnuoU by the mail train. • Sir Peter and Lady Dangcrfield were each bent upon carrying out their plats she to go to tlie ball. And I'e to tu;n her out of the house, if she dil go. Lord Buysland atten^ptcd to dis- SQflde her, but m vain. Hh then went to Castleford station, and there meetiuK the major, persuaded him to give no the ball. Major Fratikiand iusisted however, upon seeing Lady Dangetfield. In the park he met Sliss Herncas. tie, who pci-suaded him to write to her ladyship, and state his iunbihty. He wrote upon a leaf fioin her book, aud handed her the letter to deliver to La- dy DangerGeld. He drove away she dcstr yed the note. She was determined thut my lady should go to the ball aud show off the costume. At dinner Lady DaiigorfK-ld was seized with violent sickness and was at once ordered rest aud quiet, but Sir Peter, saw through tlie ruse. She went to her room, partook ol a hearty meal with iiiss lleriicasile. The dy was ready, my laJy was dressed; and looked exquisite in the lovely page's dress. Pieaoutly she was ou the way to Mrs. Everlei'^h's. Arrived at the ball she rested, but no major came io the diess of Couut Lara, where was he At last the chief arrived, but the voice, the stop were etrange to my lady. She said, ' What is the matter with you to- night, Jasper ' ' Your voice sounds strange, you don't dance as you used â€" and â€" and something about you, I don't know what, looks unfamiliar. Take off your mask, sir, aud let me see you.' • Not likely. A page muRt never presume to command his master. Rest assured I am I, and. at supper we wdl unmask, aud become the cyu- osure of all eyes. Ginerva, your dress is absolutely perfect â€"there is nothiug to equal it here to-night.' A passing domino caught (he half- whispered words, and paused to watch them. From that moment, wherever the icnight and page went the black domino was sure to follow. They wandered int(^ a conservatory at last, filled with the moonlight of shaded lamps, where the music came faiut and far off, aud tall tropic plants reared their rich heads far aboyo. ' How hot it is â€" how noisy they are,' Kaled murmured, sinking into a moss. green seat. ' I must take off my mask â€" I shall look as red as a milk maid when we unmask. In tho ten miuutes that intervene between this and supper, let me try aud get cool if I can.' He stooped over Iwr with the whis- pered imbecility he knew was expected of him, and fanned her with a palm leaf. ' Shall I fetch yon a water ice ' he asked ' it irill help yon to keep cool. You will have it eaten before we go to sapper.' She assented languidly. Her mask lay in her lap, and watching her with glittering eyes, the spectral domino stood in shadow of the palms. Count Lara's garments brushed liim as he went by â€" but Lara's eyes had noticed him froni the first. In a second Count Lara had vanished. My lady. looking flushed and handsome iu her boyish trayesty. Canned herself in the cool shade of a myrtle tree. And behind the palm the domino waited. Both waited for what never eameâ€" the return of Count Lra. She grew angry at the noa return of her count, twice bad he disappointed her at last she went to supper, and there the party all onmatiked. She saw, for one instant, amid the crowd, the faeeâ€" not of Major Frank- land, but oi Sir Peter Dangerfieid, lookbif^ at her. For one instant only, then it toe, disappeared.

Lauty seized the boots and made a rush tor his master's room. The soft silvery gray of the summer evening was falhiig by this time, and y^ith his back to the faint light t'tie chasseur sat when his man entered.
