Just look at him. It's a pleasant face, isn't it?" You don't believe he has any hold on her mors?" asked Mr, Millington. "No more than I have ; Iesslshould say. It's she that's got a hold on him. She }las been playing with him ever since that night we saw her at the theatre, whenhe male up to her and she gave him a look I can see now. It was when you ave up the Haldane commission, you know." "Yes," said Mr. Millington "I remem- ber the night. You took me in the after- noon to Rotten Row, where Honoria was riding." "That's the time. From that day to this she's bean loading him a dance, and she has played her game so cleverly that he bas be - mote almost desperate. Who would 'tame thought she had such a head? I would give something to see her ruin him completely— and it's on the cards, 'Millington, it's en the cards." "Why doesn't he give her up? "He can't. He bas never been fought in this way before, and the longer the battle goes on the madder he grows, and the keen - e cr his longing to become her master once more. He has been able to do as he liked with other women, but this one keeps hien rt bay. I call it a fine revenge." "She takes his money, I've heard," said NUB ington. "She does, and laughs openly in his face di the time, It's my opinion she would like to see his horse beaten tomorrow, There's nothing that woman wouldn't do to wmiliate and madden him. Millington, I've a fancy to go to 7, Wellington street, jut o recouuoitre. Will you come with Ins "With pleasure, George is out courting, tnd wilinot be home till late, so I shall not se missed." "Ah," said Mr. Barlow "that's a long •ngagement between him and pretty Rachel Jiprose. We haven't been Bruch together :ately you and I, Millingtun, and we have elenty of things to talk about. They're Brett constant a each other those two, out ist it likely ever to come to anything?" "..'.'hope so," re ilitisd"der.Millington, and so do they, of course. Though, for albstinacy, and sticking to her word, there's 1 sot a girl withiu a hundred miles of us to squad Rachel. Says George to her, " Don't tet us wait any longer; Rachel. I'm in a position to maintain a home, so let us go to :hurch, and get it over." "No, George," lays the steadfast young wornan, "d'ie made a vow never to got married till my Sear mistress is settled, and I mean to stick M it. You're a foolish fellow to keep your. self tied to a girl like me. Look out for mother wife, George, and let us shake hands and say good-bye to each other." Of ;course George won't listen to anything of the sort: he makes himself as cheerful as becan bounder the circtunstanees, and says that nothing but death shall part them. Miss Haldane does her best to persuade Rachel to do as George wishes, but Rachel won't give way. And ao it goes on. I don't like to see George and Rachel wasting the best part of their lives, but it can't be helped, it seem. There's no understanding women, Barlow." "It's difficult, I grant," said Mr. Ilarlr.w, contemplatively ; "they h'we ways of their own, but they're not always wrong;. How is Mist Haldane getting along?" " She and Rachel snake just enough to Live upon. I suspect she would be in sore straits if Rachel left her." "That's what makes one admire Rohe'. It's hard lines for lleoree, but if the nrar- i rime ever comes off, she'll make him a rare gond wife. How is Miss Haldane's sweet. beaming gettingalontr ?" "About the same is Rachel's. Young Mr. Parton, you know, went to Australia to make his fortune, and came hack poorer than he we He is going to make a great name one day, they say, but at present he and his father just manage to rub along. But when things are brighter with them, which I've an idea will be the case before long, Miss Haldane's promise to her father that she will not marry without his consent, is likely to stop the way. Everything," said Mr. Mill- ington, passing his hand across his forehead with en air of vexation, "seems to be in a tangle. I give up thinking of them some- times." " Talk of the dc'-il !" cried Mr. Barlow, looking after a man who was crossing the road. "What's the matter?" inquired Mr. tilillhrgton. "This is anight of coincidences," re- plied Mr. Berlow, "and I believe in coin- eideuces. Do you sec tlratgentloman there ?" "That one shambling along on the other side. What of him ?" "It rs Mr. Haldane himself. He has come back. What httle game will he be up to aow ?" Mr. Millington ran across, and passing the gentleman spoken of without drawing attention upon himself, returned to Mr. Earlovv. "It's Mr. Haldane, sure enough. You now more about him than I do. Let me into the secret, Barlow." "There isn't much' of a secret about it," :aid Mr. Barlow. "-When the Chudleigh ;state fall into the hands of Mr. Redwood, :or fino gentleman there made himself icarce. Went abroad and kept there. Now se's back again."

Ken - Mr. Be , y: wt. c `. only two have managed afloat—Mr. Redwood and - was a terrible come down for the a. but I've an odd impression that we haven seen the end of it. Here we are in Wel- lington street. There's Honoria's carriage waiting at the door of No. 7. That's what I call a coincidence. In that very house ives Mrs, Kennedy and her adopted daugh- ter, Adeline Ducroz. You can't have forgot. ten those remarkable letters of hers I gave you to read?" " It isn't likely I could forgot them. How do these two ladies live?" "Mrs. Kennedy takes in needlowork, and they starve mit." " What does the other one do?". "Drink." " Drink?" " You know what a dipsomaniac is, Mil. lington?' " Yes." " That is what Adeline Ducroz is—that is what she was when Mr, Haldane, under the assumed name of Julius Clifford, desert- ed her in Paris—what she was when she was wandering through the Continent. She is now irreclaimable. MI ldre. Keunccly's efforts to cure her of site awful habit—which to -More common than you suppose, Mill- ington—leave ended in failure. But the good lady has not abandoned her; she has undertaken a terrible responsibility, and deer} not shrink front it. She works for the lost creature day and night, nurses her, watches over her as well as the is able to, and still hopes against hope. It is a dreadful burden." " I can imagine nothing more dreadful," said Mr. Millington. " Bedew, if I don't mistake, you once had an idea that Miss Haldane was Adeline Decree's daughter." " I did." " Are you of the same opinion still?" "Upon my word," said Mr. Barlow, looking up at the windows of N. 7, "1 hardly now what to think. I have seen Adeline Ducroz on several occasions, and I can see no likeness between them. But Adeline Ducroz as a woman and a confirmed drunkard, and Adeline Ducroz as a young girl in whom the awful vice was absent, must betwo daffereut beings. To see her as she is can give one no idea. of what she was, slid it seems a crime to associate so sweet a lady as Miss Haldane with a creature so lost and degraded. Here is \r S.Kennedy c Om- ing ouof the house new." A Gray-h'tired woman, her face lined with care, issued from the door of No. 7. She carried a bun Ile, autl after an anxious upward g;anee bee :,ai;tiing away when Sir. Barlow stepped forward and aecasted her. Not many words passed between them, but Mr Millington saw 11r. Barlow slip soma. thing into her hand. "the had just finished a dress for a pri- vate customer," said Mr. Barlow, rejoining his friend, " which Hurst he delivered to- night. tihe is in great anxiety because she fears she may be kept out late. She says she left her daughter asleep, but she is not easy in her mind about her. It is supposed in the neighbourhood that they aro really mother and daughter. Another proof of her wonderful kindness to the lost woman." "If she is in a drunken sleep." said Mr Millington, "it is likely she will not soon awake," " If she is ," said Mr- Barlow. " That's where the doubt conies in. You have no notion of the cunning of these dipsomaniacs. One is never sure with them. The odds are that she is only preteuditrb" te he asleep so as to get her 'protector out of the way." " What would be the good of that? :he has no ntouev to obtain liquor." " 0, she'll beg, borrow, or steal it, 'or per- haps take something from the, room to sell for gin. Let us he jogging, Millington. We shall do no good reutaining here. It is kind of Honoria to stop with that p.,or little fellow who met with the accident. By and bye, oil fellow, when the account is reckon- ed up there's many a good deed will be set down to the credit of the woman that scoundrel Redwood brought to shame. Come along." It was very near midnight before Honoria prepared to take her departure. She had done much in the meantime to assuage the mother's anxiety, and to make things easy for her and the injured lad. Impressing into her service a slatternly girl who lived in the house with her parents, Honoria hast sent her out a half -a -dozen tunes to purchase what was required. It is a hard life," said Honoria, pitying- She ityingShe listened to a noise without, the voice of some creature shrieking out a sang, the words of which were not distinguishable. "You'd get used to that noise," remark- ed Mrs. shnith, " if you lived in the house. Don't let it trouble you. It's only Mrs. Kennedy's daughter." "It does not trouble me," said Honoria, "hut there is something very pitiful in the sound. Mrs. Kennedy's daughter!! Surely not a young girl?" "0, no, a woman nearly as old as I ani, but I'm thankful that I'm not like her." "Is she sober?" "I don't. know. She never is, if she can help it. When she's not sober, she's mad." " Always ?" " Nearly always. I've seen her two or three times as near in her right senses as she's ever likely to be, and I've fairly start- ed at the change in her." "In what respect?" "Well, if you'll believe me she was moxa of a lady at those times than any of us. Quiet, too, and well-spoken. There was once when Mrs. Kennedy managed to keep her right for nearly a week, and if you'd seen her then you'd have pitied and won- dered at her. But there ! A kind lady like you would be ready to pity anyone in mis- fortune." "Never mind that. What I have done has been to please myself. • Honoria stood at, the door a moment or two, listening to the wild singing, which had commenced again, some words of which came now to her ear. " It's a pix miss,» A smothered sound, hallo");half laugh, escaped from Honoria, but She was quite calm and composed almost ''jn the same breath. i "Yon may be wrong there;" she said, taking up her gloves. No, miss; I'm riga; but it's like you to make light of what you've done. Shall we see yon again ?" " Not to -morrow ; 1 shall be busy ; the dry after." "You're going to the Derby, miss?" t, Yesar "I heard you tell the doctor that Morn- ing Glory 'd win. Everybody I've heard speak of it swears that nothing can beat that horse with the queer name." "11rrning Glory is my fancy," said Honoria, with a laugh, good -night." " Good night, miss' and God bless you." Honoria, closing the door behind leer, did not go downstairs to her carriages but up- stairs p- t it e sKennedy's s a g to the attic, in winch h \Ir . daughter was still singing fitfully, bot more softly now. The stairs and passages were dark, and she had to feel her way by the baluatrade. Alnunan form, lyiug across the stairs, impeded her progress, and started up as it was touched by het foot. " Who's that?" a voice inquired, It was the slatternly girl she had employed, to do her errands who spoke. "I am going up to Mrs. Kennedy's room," replied Honoria. "0, it's you, lady. I'll show it yer." " What are you lying on the stairs. for?" caked IIonoria, "To prevent, 'et' gains out if I can," said the girl alt upward jerk of ner thumb, which Honoria could not see. "Mrs. Kennedy girea me a ha'penny for it. She's a good sort is Mrs. Kennedy. It a'n't safe for 'er to ga out by 'erself " \\'lth another upward jerk of her thumb. ssisn't it safe?" " She ain't to be trusted a minute by 'erself," whispered the girl, " .Mrs. Ken. nedy's afeerd. she might do somebody a mis• chief." rc Is she violent, then ?

Show ate her room.} " Take Vela me, and mind. 'owyer step, There's elect in some of the stairs. The 'mese is coming to pieces, it is." The room was as dark as the staircases, and when Honoria entered it, which bhe dict alone, the slatternly girl keeping up the open door, she could see nothing of its oc- eupaut. (i o d twnstairs, and ask Mrs. Smith to lend me a candle." " A:u't you afeerd ?" " No, go at once." The girl slid down by means of the creak- ing balustrade and presently Mrs Smith herself came up with a lighted candle. "You can't do her any good," said the woman, shaking her head. " Oblige me, and loam mo alone with her," " I'll wait oudside." Ifcmoria, taking the candle from it or, olive(' the door. A woman, crouching by the miserable mattress on the floor, peeped cunningly tiro' her fingers as Honoria approached her. She was much older than Honoria Itad supposed her to be: her clothes were of the poorest description, butbore evidence of neatmend- ing and patching ; her gray hair, also, though she had it pulled over her face, where it bung straggling down, must have been regularly eomlterl and hushed. The room was ole in and tidy ;it was a work, liv- ing, and bed rows, all in one, and contained, for furniture, hat two wooden chairs, a deal table, and the bed on the floor, but there were no traces of disorder apparent. In the dung signs that met Honoria's eyes there was no degradation, but distinct evidence of poverty bravely borne. The degradatio,i was in the women's face—a bloated face, with swollen cheeks and lips, and bleared eyes. The hands she held before it trembled and twitched ; they were not the hands of one accustomed to menial 'work ; they ware small and shapel", and in the woman's whole appearance, miserable and degraded as it was, there seemed to Honoria to 1'e a sing- ular assumption that she had not been always so low and vile as at the present time. '"Are you ill?" asked Honoria, pitying- ly. The woman slowly removed her hands from her face, and stroked Honoria's dress. " Let me whisper to you," she said. Honoria was startled by the voice. It was so thick and guttural, and so difficult to understand, that it sounded scarcely hu- man. "Speak out," said Honoria, " there is no one near." "There is," said the woman, " A devil is biding—there in that corner I.—he will conic out when yon are gone. He must not hear. Let ine whisper." Honoria bent her head. " Are you a lady." "I am a woman, as you see.", "Have you got money?" et yes." " Give me a shilling. They starve me ; they don't give me anything to eat. Give inc a shilling." "I will get you some food." "1 cion't want food—I want a shilling. Give me sixpence. Look at me : I am shak- ing all over, I want medicine ; I can go out and buy it. Give roe twopence," Honoria did not know immediately what to do. She felt that the degraded creature w, so 'wwt.,uou , t to > picture that she did nob turn her bead, she had not heard the open- ing of the door. What are you looking at, Miss ?" asked Mrs. Smith. Honoria, aroused to couch ousness, laid the portrait down. " Oh, the picture,' said Mrs. Smith, "You'd hardly believe it was hers." " Hers!" echoed Honoria, contemplating the prostrate form. " Is it possible she was ever like this ?" " It's her picture, taken when she was a young woman. Mrs. Kennedy has shown it to the two or three times. .And now I look at you—" But she paused suddenly, and snapped her lips together. " Are you coming down, Miss. You can't, do any good here?' " You were asying,"said Honoria, "'and now 1 look at you,' but you dad not finial." " It's nothing, Miss. I'll 'light you clown." " But I wish to hear what was in your mind. Oblige ane, and complete the sen- teuce. There can be no harm in it, 1 Of course there's no harm in it," said Mrs. Smith, with a ourious hesitation, " but it mightn't be exactly pleasant." " Oblige me and say whatyon were about to say." She took the portrait in het' hand edam, and held it out to Mrs, Smith. " I was going tosay, if yon ll forgive me for it, that it's not unlike you. Its a foolish fancy, and I don't know how it over carne in my t'eead." "I don't think it's fancy ; it struck me as I was looking at it. Is it like Mrs. Kenrtedy, too?" " Not a hit. Mrs. Kennedy is quite a cliff, erent sort of woman. There's a good many that don't believe—.—" Apie she broke off n the middle of a sentence. "We'd best talk downstairs,"she said in a low toxin, "Yon wouldn't think she was listening, bit it's x:ly belief she hears every word we say." " Yes," said Honoria, " we will talk downstairs," She cast a last compasilonate glance at the prostrate woman, and left the room with Mrs. Smith. They do say," she prompted— " That rompted---"That there's no rc(ationehip at all be- tween \ d e .fru, Kennedy awl the wuman she a Y calls her daughter." " But why should she work for her as she does?" Why does she snake herself a slave for her?" "There's the mystery. We don't worry ourselves about it. We've got enough troubles of our own." " Yes, you settee have. Can you give me a sheet of paper and an euvelope ?" "Yes, miss." This is what Honoria wrote : "One who sincerely symptthises with Mrs. Kennedy, and is desirous to further assist her, requests her acceptance at the enrlased. In the course of a few days the writer will place herself in communication with Mrs. Kennedy," The "enclosed" was a bank note for five pounds. Honoria fastened the envelope, and addressing it to Mrs. Kennedy, request- ed Mrs. S;rcith to give it to her upon her re- turn hone that night. It happened, as Honoria stood in the passage, about to take her departure, that tl.e street door was opetted with a latchkey, and a woman was llrcardascending the stairs. I "'That's Mrs. Kennedy's step," said Mrs. ISmith. "I do not wish her to know," said Hon- oria, quickly, " that it is L who left the note 1 for her." " Very well, 'miss." The light fell upon Hanoria's fact: as Mra. Kennedy came up to her, and a startled look flashed into the elder woman's eyes. She stood on the top of the stairs gating at Honoria till site passed out of the house. (To nu RONTINVED.) Ile Etta Another Engagement, A certain lord hada board put up on sonic land belonging to him, with an iuseription thereon to the effect that trespassers wotrl;i be prosecuted. On taking a walk early one morning ha came across some newly.made footmarks, which he followed ftp, and eventually overtook the tresspasser, who turned out to be a navvy, whereupon the following conversation took place : "My mar, do you know you are tres- s passing on my land : said the lord. "01," said the navvy, "is this your land?" " Yes," "Ah ! And where did you get it from? "My father left it me." "And where did your father get it from?" "My grandfather }eft it him." "And where did your grandfather get it from? "Confound your impertinence," said the lord, " my ancestors fought for it." " Oh, did they," answered the navvy, pulling off his coat and rolling up his sleeves. " Well, I dont mind fighting you for it," . The noble lord suddenly remembered he had another engagement.

So it is in human life --a slight derangement is neg. Iectod, it grows and increases, imperceptibly at first, thenrapidly, until what could in the beginning, have been cured with little trouble, becomes almost fatal.
