an unknown quantity of bedrooms. As
the three voyagers steed upon the ter-
race, they caught a glimpse of light
draperies, and heard the ripple of girl -

The Colonel led the way into a cool dim
drawing -room, where tliey ftmnd Mrs.

Mrs. ScobeU, a rosy plump little lady,
who had been a beauty in her time, be -
tore a sturdy, harumscatum family had
come to be joint plague and joy of her
life, shook hands heartily. And she was
not the least leas pleased. to see her
visitors, despite the faot that she
hadn't the smallest idea, how they were
going to be acconaraodated,
'Thank goodness it is no worse,' she
said. 'Oa, of course I don't mean that,
yo tt know, onty the Colonel is so incon-
siderate,. It as only last week that he
went off fishing below Ross and
brought back no fewer than five with
him, not one of whom he had seen be-
fore. Of course, it seems very in-
hospitable, but I had. to put two in the
bilhard-room.'
That Scotch fellow could tie a fly,
though,' the Colonel observed reflective-
ly. 'He had. a way of dressing "hack-
les" I never saw before.'
'And that covers a multitude of sins,'
said Denton, with a laugh.—'But you
can make yourself easy about that,
Mrs. Scobell. I need not ask if you
have a houseful. Any one here we
know?'
'I expect so. There is Miss Rash-
leigh and her brother; the Moffat girts
—five of them,; and in fact several
others. We are very short of gentle-
men.'
'Oh, come now,' the Colonel remon-
strated. 'There are young Rashleigh
and myself, with our three friends here,
to say nothing of Du Blearier.'
Denton shot a significant glance at
.Bertie, who looked in his turn towards
Decie. Beyond a quick flush of colour
in his cheeks and. a mechanical clench -
:tag of the right hand, he betrayed no
sign. It was a relief to the awkward.

speedy exit of the fascinating Horace,
or the little smile of meaning telegraph-

is known ouly to the gentler sex.

Tires the yoangest of the family, only
just out, and an old facial and favor-
ite of Decie's. 'What can Beatrice be
thinking about?'
Oh, there is something between them,
is there?' asked Phil coolly. They were
galas alone by this time. Down the
winding path towards the river, Den-
ton and Trevor were just disappearing
from view, accompanied by the fair
el'OW, for a long lazy afternoon on the
water. 'How long has it been going
on?'
'Before we came here—when we
were in town, I imagine. I can't think
what has come to Beatrice. And I am
certain Mr. Du. Ma,urier is not a gentle-
man. However, it has nothing to do
with me—it is some one else's business.
—When are you going to teach me that
back -handed out?'
Phil' gave his solemn, promise to lose
no time in impartina the dark secret;
and content with this assurance, and,
sooth to say, finding Ler companion
somewhat dull, Miss Edith departed.
It was half an, hour later when, in•
crossing the terrace, he came full upon
the versatile Frenchman, smoking a
scented cigarette, and attired in a su-
perb knickerbocker suit and, velvet gait-
ers, reaching almost to the knee. Had
he been. a Cockney snob instead. of a
Gallic cad, thought Pail bitterly, he
would have found want welcome at
Pencraig.

Du Blearier moistened his dry lips
and tried to swallow the chokinglumpthat would rise int e his throat. His face
presented a singuler, appearance, like a
dead white coal touched, with low. gleam-
ing points of flame. All his savotr faire,
his easy assurance, had disappeared: he
looked what he was pitiful swindler
face to face with his accuser.

Horace replied. 'I mast do as you ask.
Only, my friend, it you ever oorne across
me again, look to yourself.'
To this characteristic gasconade, Phil
deigned no reply beyond a look of su-
preme disdain. He was perfectly satis-
fied with himself, and the way he had
condueted the somewhat trying in-
terview ; for, say what you will, it is
no pleasant matter to accuse any one
of a anean and contemptible Dation, to
say nothing of a crirae.
The afteinoon dragged on somewhat
slowly till dinner -time arrived. .11 was
not a full-dress affair, though most of
the ladies were resplendent in shimmer-
ing draperies and shining arms. There
was no lack of conversation, with the
exception of Deele and his late antagon-
ist, who was etrangela silent—the lat-
ter, as Phil did not fail to notice, paying
omroaraethsat.tention to the champagne than
thirst or the dictates of good breeding
•
That class of fellow never can resist
champagne,' said. Bertie sotto voce, as
he called Phil's attention to the French-
man's flushed cheeks and gleaming
eyes. But Phil did not heed. He was
listening with all his ears to a song,
floating out from the drawing -room, a
song he well remembered, the refrain
of which rang in his heart like a sharp
Pain. As he turned in the direction of
the salon, he entountered Beatrice B,ash-
leigh walking towards the garden. With
the c,ourage of despaira he turned and
took his place by her side. They prom-
enaded some distance in silence. A soft
moon rode high in the blue arch, shin-
ing upon the swift flowing river and
on the painful pallor of the girl's face.
You. had better say all you nave to
stelrIv''iteshinwhe?k8aitidis' l
my eight,' said. Philgen-
did not seek this in-
tly: 'It is more than a year ago since
we parted with aatacit understanding.
I loved you, then—'l always shall. 'Un-
less you had a little affection for me
then, you must be the most selfish co-
quette that ever tookdelight in break-
ing a roan's heart.'
' You do me scant justice, Mr. Decie.
My friends do not find me so.' Beatrice
stooped over a rose -tree, breaking off
a fragrant golden bud, and carried it
to her face. It was not a pleasant or
soothing gesture, but her hands trem-
bled so that she felt forced to give them
some occupation. But all this was lost
upon Phil, who read in it a. callous cold-
ness.
'I want you to tell me why you be-
haved so to me—indeed, I will know.
There is something more in your man-
ner than indifference—there is dis-
like, contempt. :What have I done to
merit this
What have you done 1' Beatrice cried
passionately. :You have bitterly deceiv-
ed me. I liked and trusted you—nay,
more, if you will hear the truth, 'loved
you. until that day—you, you know of.
Oh, Phil, Phil, way did you not come
to me if you were in trouble or distress,
and tell me everything! Do you think
that I should have thought the less of
you. because such things do not come
within the unwritten laws of society? I
would not have minded; I would have
helped you.'
'I daresay you would,' Phil returned
forlornly, 'only I had no occasion to
oak for your help. I understand w/aat
you mean. How can I help it? You
think I—I stole your diamond bracelet!'
'How othermse ?' retorted Beatrice.
She had recovered. from her Momentary
fit of emotion, and.looked him in the
face with hard scornful eyes. ' You
always made nse your confidante—even
that silly escapade of yours when you
had to pawn your watch, I heard of
from you. I have a good meraory for
trifles. Do you remember the as-
sumed name you used on that occasion?'
'I am not so used to the inside of
those places that I am likely to forget,'
said Phil bitterly, 'To be correct, it
was Philip Reid.'
Beatrice answered nothing, but taking
from the bosom of her dress a square
yellow ticket, handed it to her compan-
ton. It bore the name and address of
a well-known Cambridge jeweller, and
ran to the effect that a certain dia-
mond, bracelet with ruby niedallion had
been deposited with the person therein
named, to secure the repayment of a
loan of thirty pounds advanced to Phi-
lip Reid.
Phil gazed at the shabby little paste-
board like a man in a dream. The idea
of his being guilty of such an act struck
hin dumb with amazement. 'Beatrice,'
he said solemnly, as soon as he found
voice to speak, 'on my word of honor, I
know nothing of this. Still, the proof
is strong—undeniably strong. Will
yoa try end trust me once more?'
'What is it you want me to do?'
'Leave this in my hands for a little
while. 'Will you.?'
She turned away from hini with a
choking sob. All the harshness and
c,oldness had melted from her heart;
she was for the moment a gentle lov-
ing woman. 'Anything to clear this
wretched mystery, If you can restore
my broken faith, it will be the happiest
cla,y X have known for eighteen months.'
Withotit another word she turned away,
leaving Phil to gaze after her in rapt
astonishment,

explained• airily. 'It is a pleasure to

cheerfully. `Dontyou remember what
i
a state they were n last Easter after a
fortnight's coaching? Come with me
after luncheon. We've got the old gig
and a famouspair of sculls.'
Denton, cynic as he was, found him-
self in the toils of a, sister siren ambi-
tious of aquatic honours, and in a few
moments was making arrangements for
forming an amateur 'pair,' under the
watchful eye of himeelf and Berlin Tre-
vor, with all the eagerness at a school-
boy. So busily engaged were they,
that no notice was taken of the advent
of anew -comer, another girl in tennis
costume. But Phil saw, and turned a
little littler as his eyes encountered
hers. She came towards the gay group
almost reluctantly. Decie bowed low,
to hide the flush of coloar that would
rise to his theek. As she turned away,
standing by one of the open' windows,
he crossed over to her.
Her fair sweet face was hidden from
him, but she seemed to feel hiS preseace.
'why did you, come?' sae asked, still
gazing fixedly at the landscape,
could not help myself.—No; do
not misunderstand me. I ant not pay-
ing you an idle compliment. The sim-
ple truth is that 1 did not know you
were here. I will keep out of your
sight as much as possible.'
Beatrice Bashleigh made no reply for
moment ; her face vvas very white and
set, had he bat seen it ; but Phil was
not looking in her direetion, for the
simple reciaon that he was afraid to
do so. 'There is room enough here tor
both of as,' she said. 'Still, it would be
ridiculous to attract attention, Out -

danger; and, like the hunter, braced his
nerves for the. fray.
'You take a high hand, my friend,'
he lightly replied. 'Ma foi, you. Eng-
lish have a, strange way of cloing things.
I thank you. for warnmg me. But as
your proverb says, "At that game, two
oat play." And if I go to the excell-
ent Colonel and say, "You have a thief
in the house!"
Phil laughed aloud, so load, that Miss
Edith, waiting upon the tennis lawn
for the initiation into the. raystera of
the 'cut,' wondered what excellent Joke
the pair had discovered.
'You would obtain Miss Rashleigh's
permission first, Pah! you. are a shal-
lower rogue than I took you for. I am
certain you could know nothing of that
unless you had a hand in it. Besides,
Colonel &obeli would be much more
likely to throw you out of the windovv
than believe such a tale. Why can't
you. take a hunt?'
'And if I refuse this peremptory re-
quest?'
'Then I must_ speak more plainl3r. I
want no scandal here, the less that your
name has become connected with Miss
Rashleigh's. I am not speaking with-
out book, understand. I am gonag to
tax your excellent memory; whtch
have so often and fortunately seen chis -
played at games of skill—and chance.'
During this speech, the Frenelarnan
had shifted his ground uneasily. The
cool measured scorn in Phil's voice
alarmed him, more than any outburst
of violence could have done, there was
such a ring of assured certainty behind
every word, He had betrayed lab:cleat
once, a faux pas he had no intention
of repeating,
'I will call your mind back to a year

Throughout the country there is al-

almost its entire corn -
Perhaps the most serious ;sped of the
situation is found in the belief that is
gaining ground everywhere, not only in
Europe, but in Turkey, that the whole
series of attacks on the Armenians has
been ordered from Constantinople and
by
THE SULTAN HIMSELF,
for the doable purpose of getting rid
of a people -whom he detests and show-.
the Europeari governments that any
interference on their part will result
in worse disorders than those they seek
to remedy. There are many things
that confirm this report: the absolute
failure of every effort to secure reform,
the simultaneous attacks in widely dis-
tant sections, of the empire, and, most
of all, the bitter feeling among those
Turks who have senseenough to see
that it is suicide to destroy the most
industrious and prosperous class in the
community. It would emu also as if
the ambassadors had the same idea, and.
realized that nothing short of actual
oceupation by foreign troops woulciavail
anything. That they.. hesitate is scarcely
surprising. Winter is at hand, and the
passes of the Kurdish and Taurus moun-
tains are already covered with snow. To
make a feint without securing complete
occupation would mean massacre upoa
massacre. Moreover, no satisfactory
plan of immediate action or of subse-
quent partition, such as must come, has
as yet been. devised, and Chbaa, Japan,
and Korea appear as dangerous elements
in the problem. So the English fleet
lies in the harbor of Lemnos, the Rus-
sian troops rest in their barracks in the
Caucasus, the ambassadors make daily
visits to Porte and palace in the vain
hope that some impossible solution may
yet appear which will make unnecessary
the bloody and costly war which all
dread, and Turks and Kurds improve
every opportunity to kill Christian men,
that they may loot Christian shops and
appropriate Christian women.

PREPARED FOR A SIEGE.
France is Ready to7r-event Repetition of
Events ot1810-71.
Should the fortunes of war ever
again expose the City of Paris to the
hazdship of a siege, the besieger would
find the reduction of the French cap-
ital to .be a far more difficult under-
taking than did the German arraies in
the winter of 1870-71.
Thus, for example, 40,000 rations of
preserved vegetables can be placed ain
a cubic space measuring only 40 inches
each way, and millions of these rations
o.e preserved meats are constantly
kept ready for the eventful necessity
of the military provisioning oi Paris.
An enatinous stock of flour and bis -
cults is always maintainecl by tbe war
departraent while the introduction of
compressed fodder a,nd the silo system
have facilitated the storage of suffi-
cient food. for the horses requiredby
the cavalry, as well as by the omnibus
and street railway efimparties.
One of the gravest causes of distress
during the last siege of Paris was the
scareity and poor q.uality of rank. Such
quantities of this Indispensable article
as could be proeured were worth their
weight in gold, excl the raortality
among infants resulting from their de-
trifvraigtihotiatuoif rtahtise.nec,essary food reaehed

By means of the Fixary, process
dressed beef and other meats can be
kept sweet and fresh for many maths,
and by natv chemical methods the stor-
age rooms can be kept cool without the
use ot ice. In its careful preparation
fax the dire exttergeney of hostile at-
tack the Prench government seems to
have overlooked nothing; even coal,
wood, petroleum, chemicals and a thou-
sand other things have been provided
in ample quantities,
.It seems almost impossible to believe
that any future siege of Perla could be
prolonged until the war department
should have exhausted its fabulous ae-
eumulations of provisions, which are
constantly maintained at their proper
levels by renewals of stook as fast as
it is used up .
