Mr. Farrar is already bending over her, and Vale Valentine, who has a horror of the eight of blood and wounds, turns away, feeling quite sick and giddy. But itis his stomach that is tender, not" his heart, In this moment his first' thought is, "" If she is dead, what a lot of trouble, and what a pot of money it will save, to be sure i" "Them is profound silence ; even Olympe looks pale and panic-stricken in this first moment, ie the face of this direful tragedy.

He pronounces the dread fat,. pale and grave.

So be discreetly holds hie tongue, and followa. through the starry darkness to Mrs. Hopkins' home. Jemima Ann and Aunt Samantha are waiting up as usual, sewing in silence, a kerosene lamp between them. Snowball has not been taken to the circus this evening, but as she has a pro- found disbelief, in ler small way, of the early.to-bed system, she is still up, sing- ing gleefully, and playing with a couple. of kitteens in front of the stove. Her song, sung at the fall pitch of her powerful little lungs. is her favoritebal- tad of the " Ten Little Tn$urt Boys."" °Ile door bell is rung bythe =wen- ger, `Who runs on ahead; the direful news is broken, and in a moment. all. ie. confusion, Mrs. Hopkin is aitoid of .. ap@a", but pitiful of` heart.

Mimi laid upon 11, still faintly moaning, sane assists in removing as much as can be removed of the flimsy, tinseled drapery. The beautiful fair haat, all clotted. and sticky with blood, is gathered upin a great knot. The face seems the only part of her uninjured; it is drawn into a strange, drtradful expression of fear and pain, tho look that froze upon it in, talo Instant of her fall. Thefeatures are not marred, but the face is ghastly, the blue yes seem half open, a littlo stream of blood and foam trembles from the lips. Jemima Ann wipes it and her own tears away, as sho stands looking down. Down in the parlor is Mr. Lacy, like a lean distraught. He has been in love with Mimi, off and on, since he saw her first ; he has followed her about from place to place like her shadow; 'he has offered her marriage again and again, and he is rich- That she has. not married him has surprised everybody; but Mlle. Trillon has always boon erratic, has liked her freedom and her wandering life, has persistently laughed at him, and taken his presents with two greedy little hands, and eaten his din- ners and drank his wines, and smoked his cigarettes, and, driven behind his high stoppers, and said No. „ I've had enough of marriage, Lacy," she bas said • in bar reckless fashion ; " it's no end of humbug. I wouldn't marry the Priuco of \Vales if he came over and asked me." "Which it would be bigamy if yon did," said Lacy; " but you might marry me, Mini. --I've not got a Princess Alexandra at home. Youcouldleave off the flying trapeze, and have a good time as Mrs. Ansustus Lacy." " i have a nutter tune as Mlle. Mimi Trillon. Thanks, old fellow, very much, hat not any," laughed Mimi. And she has adhered to it. No later .Iran this eery day, after dinner, atiush with champagne and turkey, Mr. Lacy has renewed his honorable proposals, and for the twenty-fifth time been re- fused. Mimi, too, is elate with the fizz- ing beverage, which sale is but too fond of, and it is this thought that adds the sting of poiguant self-reproach to Mr. Lacy's grief. She had taken tea much wine, she was in no condition to mount that fatal wire when she left his hotel, and he could have told the mana- ger so. But how could he tell ? Aud she would never have forgiven kiln if be had, and now— Ho lays his head on the table, and cries, in the deepest depth f misery, and remorse, and despair. So r. Farrar finds him later, and stands looking at him, with that grave,thought- ful face of his, in silent wonder. I was so font l of her," the poor young .man says, wiping his eyes ; " 1 was awfully fond of her always. I world haveimarried. he . if she'd have aclnte. I ttshe,:'iouldh't. And' now to>tiiink'of Mir lying up there alt crushed aud disfigured.' It's too horrid. And it's dosed hard on mei by George. Ain't no hope, doctor ? You are the doctor, ain't you ?" I am not a doctor," Mr. Farrel anowers, " but the doctor is with her. No, there is hope." He does not look contemptuous by these womanish teats and this foolish ittle speech. A sort of compassion is in the glance that rests so gravely on poor ove-stricken, grief-stricken Mr. Lacy. " How, how long will she—" Mr. Lacy applies his handkerchief to I eyes, and walks away abruptly to no of the windows. " She may last the night out. She will not know you or any one ; she is est all that. She will never speak again." He pauses. A little child comes in, a fairy in a blue dress the color of its eyes, with fluffy, flaxen hair, falling to her waist.. and a lovely rosebud face. TUBE cOST1NUE.D. {J..(K S.
