"I wish you'd explain," seys Dia- na anxiously. "And yet," continuo Hilary, fol- lowing out her own late train of thoughts as if not hearing her sister, .`1 should like to marry him, if only, -for revenge!".. "NonsenSe, Hilary! I believe you ,are laughing. I -Why, What did he Say to you?" "Oh, you shall hear. I hope you'll like it, It's actionable, I- think. You shoilln be the one to prosecute," "Yes -he'' -here Hilary's voice grows almost unintelligible with laughter -"lie accused me of making love to --'1 ' "Jim''. "Good Heavens! The .man is mad," says Diana. "Well, I was too polite to tell him that, but the fact is, I went in- to the garden after luncheon to pick a few laurel -leaves, and Jim was there, and of course we both talked over the luncheon." "Well. My dear fiance was in the window and saw the parlor -maid of a few minutes ago in confidential in- tercourse with: the master of the house. Of course he was amazed. After alny with a judicial air, "1 Ware say under the circumstances • that I should have been amazed too" "Flow unfortunate that he should have seen you!" - ,"Yes, very. 13ut than was not all.

"Mr. Ker saw you talking to Hilary in the shrubberies, and heqthinks---", "That Hilary is ia love with me," says Clifford. "Well," thoughtfully, "I can't blame him.", "jiml" says Hilary. "Well, my dear!'' "You know he must have thought -idiot though he ie -that it was ' you who were in love with me!" • "Ah! Don't make him out a great- er idiot than he is," ,says Clifford sweetly. Here Diana, who had been laugh- ing a little,, breaks into the- iliscus- sion. . "It's aR very well," says she, "but, how are we going to meet him .next week at Mrs. 'MAW yre'S dance." '"Ilniat!" exclaims Hilary.. 1 or the first time in all this wild adventure of hers she looks really stricken. "You don't mean to say he is go- ing there?" • "Certainly he is. 'Fie told me so. Ire is going to Dublin on business to -morrow, but will be back in time for if." "Chat ! He'll stover be back in time. What do you think, Jim?" 'naming to her brother-in-le.w, with much apparent courage, but, evident- ly with a sinking heart. reef+ "1 don't know," says Clifford with deep and depressing reserve, who Male this to be a likely moment in which to drop into deadliest gloom.

"Oht somethiog will happen to Prevent: him," says Hilary. • "It would be too rauth. Hew on earth could I meet him?" "I -Tow indeed" says Clifford, "af- ter this 'base deception.," "You might stay at home," sug- gests Diana, anxiously. • "Bat I shouldn't like you to do that," "Stay at home! From a dance ! Neva!" cries Hilaryi.' with decision, "If the worst conies to the worst, why meet him, and give him a dance or two!" This audacity makes them laugh. "I shall be the worst off," says poor Diana, sighing. "lan will think me terribly to blame! And as for you, Jinn 'when he meets you "When he does." • Mr. Clifford is now sitting in an arm -elude, teaching a little terrier to bog for his broad "But, my near Jim, you will meet Elm at the Mantyres'."- "Not if I know it: Inn going to play hide-amd-seek that night, in and out of the rooms -Sit up, Trot, Cant you?-1,and I defy any one to catch me at that game once I put my. mind to it. Oh, what a night I'm going to have!

"Oh, you can laugh," says Diana, growing rueful again, "but 1 knoW exactly how it will be. You and Hilary- will be out of the way; and it will be left to me to explain to him this daeing impositiora" She looks at Hilary, but that cul- prit' shod is downbeat, and no comforting words come from her. "Well, look here,". says Diana; taking a step forward, and growing endued suddenly with a touch oil spirit, "I won't .do it.No. Noth- ing shall induce me. I've told him so many, things already, that I can't tell him any more." "You needn't!" says Hilary; she too is lookingdistinctly uneasy, but a smile breaks through . the little cloud that dims the brightness of her face. "You can leave it all to me. I'll tell him. I'll explain. When he sees me as Bridget__'!. "OE, Hilary, you won't -appear again in that dress?" poiating to the dress Hilary has worn during the luncheon.

"Oh, modesty, thy name is Wom- an!" says Clifford, who bas now al- most induced the terrier to wait for the infinitesimal part of a second be- fore devouring the biscuit. "I'm aot going to be ashamed of anything," says Hilary perversely. "'Why should I? 1 think 1 have been such a goad girl all through.

The first three dances am' at an end; Hilary, as she enters the ball- room, can. see this by the card hang- ing near the musicians. She can SCO, too, afire. a hurried glance over the room, that the Dysone. AtO 0 Itg Moores and their party have not Yet arrived. The fourth is a waltz -•she has arrived just in time for it -and she gets through it with a tall Cru- sader, enjoyably enough, • but el - ways with a souse that she is watch - Mg the 'doorways. The Crusader, Who is young and Immensely in earnest over his waltze ing, which like himself has not yet eome to perfection, permits her, to- ward the close of the dance, to rest moment, and in that moment • she knows that her fate Is -epee her. Her heart :almost stops beating Yes, there is Mrs. Dyson -Moore, and. Ker with ha. Mr. D3reon-Moore i3. here, too, straggling somewhat in the rear -he is always in the rear, poor man -and severe). Other people, mostly Men from the barracks in the next town. :Hilary, however; sees only: one Mari, and that is Kew he is dressed as a Cavalier, and looks absolutely handsome, a thing one would not haVe expected from him, He is now standing talking to Mrs. Dyson- Moore, and it suddenly occurs to Hilary that that elastic person is wearing the triumphant expression of one who has just added another scaip to her belt. Is it Ker's? ,ITe seems at all events thoroughly content with his present position; and in no wise eager to withdraw - from it, All his attention 'seems to, `be indeed given" to his hostess, who has discarded the Amazonian clress, and is now declaring herself to en admiring if slightly, astote teller' crowd, as Fay, By this' change she has added considerably to her charms. 'Never was there so radiant a Folly, -or so picturesque one. She seems to gather a fund Iroin the sen- sation she is so evidently creating, end. -espeeially from the witheting glances of old Miss Kinsella, who is staring at her through her geld - rimmed glasses from the distant doorway; with stern and open • die - approval. Miss Kinsella • always stands near the doorway wherever she goes; it gives one so much a bet- ter chance of seeing each new arriv- al, and the manner of their recep- tion, and the gowns, they wear, and who mime With them, etc. Nothing , escapes Miss Kinsella. Mrs. DysonnieLoore, Ulf° has heen nodding and smiling at her from a haw couch, with overflowing affec- i tion apparently, has now nearly goae ,into hysterics behind her fari over ,the return she has had. Her nods 'have been received with a stony glare, her smiles with a glassy eye. lllary can see that Ker has gone behind the fan too, and that now, the fan is shaking. This is a big -fan any way, and a delicious one too, all blue and gold! Indeed:, Mrs. Dyson -Moore is a dream of blue and gold all through. A touch el burning envy saddens for a m.onaerft Hilary's heart. If she could have got a lovely costum.e such as that -not thaat of course- ' bat something 'equally • lovely -she might have shown up wail to -night. There are one or two costumes in 1which she has often . told' herself -on- ly herself -that she would be well - very well worth. lookirig at: But any of them would cost at least ten guineas, and she -well, she hasn't got ten guineas. That's att. It is , finished argument. 1. The fifth dance on the programme lie the Lancers. "A beastly shame," mutters. the ;Crusader sotto voce, who thinks all themes should be waltzes, if only to oblige „. The musicians have struck up the opening bars . and there is a little stir- through the room.. Some are running' away from the slow dance. others are running toward it. Hil- ary sees Mrs, .Dyson-aloore rise from her seat and Ker -with her. They lake 'a, step in the direction of the middle of the :roam. • Plainly they are: goieg to dance it -together.

(To be Continued.) FOOLING THE SPY. Japanese Clerks Supplied. Him WitheBogus Plans. The spy in Japan is not necessar- ily. a Russian, ;for Muscovite gold has not always been powerless to sap the virtue of the weaker -minded and more avaracious Japanese. Early during the progress of hostilities a, quarter of a mile stretch of the rail- way between Aomori and Sendai was blown up by Russian agents, three of whom were arrested, and only a few days ago a Japanese was sen- tenced by the Yokohama court to a long, term of imprisonraeat for an unsuccessful attempt to secure naili- tary and naval secrets. This fellow was In the pay of a Russian naval attache, and for upwards of Bye years heal been paying large sums to the draughtsmen at places like Yok- osuka and Kure for maps and plans of the defeaces- The humorous aspect of this true story is that the draughtsmen, so far from betraying their trust, had merely betrayed the spy, to whom, with the connivance of the authorities, they had all along supplied false plans and sketches.

In the or- dinary form scale a orie-pound weight must be put on the counterpoise to weigh artieles over one hundred pounds.
