"Go on, you staring fools" he cries out. • "I heard there," said Mr. Watkins, turning red and defiant, "that my lady had taken a ticket for London, and left by the arf after ten express. And there is a letter for you, Sir Vane, in my lady's dressing -room." "Bring it here," he says, "and go." He stands dazed--stunned—his fierce temper quieted by the very force and unexpectedness, of this crushing blow. Run away, he thinks, blankly. He has never thought of that. Watkins brings him the letter -des, it is in her hand. He tears it open and reads "I hope to bave left Valentine forever. hours before you receive this.

The watcher leaves the window, and gives an admonitory poke to an already brilliant coal fire, another touch here and there to a trimly -set table, places the small cane rocker more geo- metrically straight in the centre of the hearth -rug, and turns the lamp up yet a trifle higher, for it is nearly dark at five o'clock. It is a comfortable little room with a warm -looking red carpet, some cane chairs, white curtains, a piano in a corner, a litter of books and magazines, and a pile of needlework in a basket- It is an apartment big enough for two, for three, perhaps fitting tightly—no more. But as only two persons are ever in it, this is hardly an objection. "And less coal does to warm it," says, sagely, Je- mima Ann." It is Jemima Alin who proves about now, in a flutter of nervous unrest,wait- ing for her young lady, who has not yet returned from her day's work. And no queen recently come into her kingdom was ever prouder of that dominion than is Jemima Ann over this furnished "floor through" in the third story of a third-rate house in yew York, in'a very third-rate street. 'Ter it is their own, thir very own, and they are together, and happy and free, and she helps to keep it --is not only housekeeper and manager, but also past breadwinner.

Life in a noisy, gossiping second-rate boarding house is not to be endured ; a month or so is as much as Dolores can bear. Neither is work to be hail for the asking; they are not adapt ed, these two, to many kinds of work, " Let us try housekeeping, Jenrirua Ann, "au:;ge' is Mrs. Trillon, looking u one day from the big daily, whose peg of aiivertisementa she is poring over with knitted brows.

I fancy it will cost us no arose than we are paying here, and it will certainly be more private and more clean." Jemima Ann bails the bappy thought; she puts ou her bonnet and sallies forth in the quest. Another week goes by, much shoe - leather is worn, many doorbells are rung, and .ruany, many stairs mountedbefore anything is found suitable to limited mesas and rather fastidious tastes. At 'set the tiniest of all French Bate is dis. overed--e minute parlor, two IimlyI1�latetl closets, called be4lrooa ricroscoei' kitchen and dining'room all neat and clean, and at a price within their iunitt tl nu ans.

Lady 1,alentino is charmed with everytbint;—the dots of roours,the that wonderful little kitchen range, SCM11,1 hardly too largo to be put in her pocket –the absolutely new life that begins for her. Even the street is not without a charm of its own—a tIu,tty, stuffy street enough, with a sidewalk noisy with children all the day long,and matrons sitting on doorsteps in the cool and silent eventide. The cbarm is surely in nothing but its entire novelty-, but Dolores likes to sit behind the Nottingbam curtains of the little parlor, and take it all in. ' Life in this phase she has never seen before, and she is among them, if not of them, for all time now, But still work comes not, and work they soon must find. Their united hoard, increased by the sale of Dolores' jewels, is melting away —let Jemima Ann cater never so cautiously. Their rooms are secured for this month at least ; before it ends ''ork must be found. Winter is ap- proaching, and "'winter is 110 man's friend." " We mast keep together, come what may," says Dolores, decidedly, "that at ]east, is as fixed as fate. Work or no work, part tits shall not, my Jemima." "No, my pretty, I hope and pray not." "Let me see," says "Mrs. Triiton," tapping her pretty chin with her pencil, that reflective frown,so often there now, knitting her brows, " my work must be teaching, if I can net it. I can teach music, vocal and instrumental—that is my strong point. French, of course, German after a fashion, and I could give lessons in crayon and pencil drawing, and water colors. Embroidery, too, of every kind, we were thoroughly drilled in at Villa des �1nges." Here her gravity suddenly gives way over the list of her accomplishments, and her joyous young laugh rings out. "It sounds, ridiculous, doesn't it, cata- loguing my wonderful talents after this fashion. I ought to make out a list of terms for to -morrow's Herald, and in- form the public that the highest bidder can have me cheap. Heigho ! one laughs, but it is no joke. after all. I will advertise, and try my fortune twice." She does; after a,score or more at- tempts, an advertisement is drawn up that Jemima Ann pronounces perfection, and which Mrs. Triton finds the best she can do—and it is sealed up' in an envelope and dropped, before ;Jeisoima seeks her vestal couch, in the: ,nearest letter box. • There follows an interval which Je- mima Ann employs in looking out for work for herself. Dolores tries to dis- suade her. " If I can get a situation as governess," she says, " it will suffice for ns both. Your work will be.to keep( this little house bright and cosy,." But Jemima is as resolute when she likes as her young mistress. " No, Miss Snowball," she says earnestly, " that will never satisfy me. I must do some- thing for my keep—sewing if I can get it—as well as you. I will have plenty of 'time for the housekeeping. There ain't no kind of . plain sewing§I ain't up to, I guess, and Mis' Scudder, our land- I lady, has took a kind •o' fancy to me from the first, and she reckons she can get me something to do pretty soon."
