The> was not the first tirae that Gil- bert hail mentioned Cyprian Davenant of late.

Gill ert stood at gaze for a moment, confounded by surpriee, and then went through the ceremony of haniashaking with his wife's guests in an awkward, embarrassed manner. Constance received hiat with her usu- al coldness, and. he felt himself alto- gether at a disadvantage in the pres- ence a the man he feared, and hated. Ile seated hinaelf, 11 wearer, determined to see the end of this olinoxiotts and remained moodily silent until the callers had dropped oil one by one, Sir Cyprian among the earliest departuxee. (retort turned. ,savagely upon lus wife direetly the room was clear. "So your old favorite has lost no time in renewing his intimacy with you," he said. "I came home at rather "an awkward moment, I fancy." "I did not perceive any particular awkwardness in your return," his wife answered coollte "unless it was your own manner to my friends, which was a, little calculated to give them the idea that you seareely felt at home in your own house." "There eas some one here who seem- ed a little to much at home, Mrs. Sin- clair -some one who will find my pre- sence a good deal more awkward, if I should happen to find him here again. In Plain aorde, I forbid you. to receive Sir Cyprian Davenant in my house." "I can no more close ray doors upon Sir Cyprian Davenant than on any , oth- er visitor," replied Constance," 'and I do not choose to insult an old friend of my family for the gratification of your senseless jealousy." "Then you. mean to defy me?" i "There s no question of defiance. I shall do what I consider right, without reference to his absurd fancy of yours. Sir Cyprian is not very likely to call upon me again, unless you cultivate his ae.quaintanee." "I am not very likely to do theta" Gilbert answered savagely. His wife's quiet defiance baffled hum, and he could find. nothing more to say for himself. But this jealousy of Sir Cyprian was in no manner abated by Constanoces self- possession. He remembered that faint - mg fit in the morniegeroom at Daven- ant, and he was determined to find some merest of punishing her for her secret preference for thie zaan. An ugly notion flashed. across his rain& by and by, as he saw her with her child lying in her lap, bending over the in- fa.nt with a look of supreme affection. "She can find love for everything in the world except me," he said. to himself bitterly. He had ceased to care for the child after the first month or so of its existence, being inclined to resent its sex as a personal injury, and dislikin his wife's devotion to the infant, wive seemed to make her indifferenc,e to him- self all the more obvious. He left the house when Constance went out for her daily drive in the park, and strolled in the same direction caring very little where he went upon this particular afternoon. The Lady's Mile was thronged. with carriages, and there was a bleak at the corner when Gilbert took his place listlessly among the loungers who were lolling over the rails. He nodded. to the men he knew, and answered briefly enough to some friendly inquiries about his luck in Yorkshire. "The filly ran well enough," he said, "but I doubt if she's got stay enough for the Chester." "Oh, of course you want to keep her dark, Sinclair. I heard she was a flier, though." Mr. Sinclair did not pursue the con- versation. The carriages moved on for a few paces, at the instigation of a pompous mounted policeman, and then stopped again, leaving a quiet little brougham exactly in front of Gilbert Sinclair. The occupant of the brough- am was Mrs. Walsinghams The stop- page brought her so close to Gilbert at it was impossible to avoid some kixid of greeting. The widoves hand- some face paled as she recognieed Gil- bert, and then, with a sudden impulse, she held out her hand. It was the first tirae tlaey had. met since that anpleesant interviewin Half -Moon Street. The opportunity was very gratifying to Mrs. Walsinghara. She had most ard.ently desired to see how Gilbert supported his new position, to see for herself how far Mr. Wyatt% account of him might be credited.. She put an the propitiatory ' reamer of a woman who has forgiven all past wrongs. "Why do you never come to see me?" she asked. "I scarcely thought yitu would care to receive nee, after what you saia when we last met," he replied, rather em- baaraseed by her easy way of treating tbe siluation, "Let, that be forgotten. It is not fair t bremember ellat a woman says when she is in a pa,ssion. I think you expressed a wish that we might be friends after your marriage, aud I was too angry to accept that proof of your regard as I should have done. I have grown wiser with the passage offietia !ilde.,,, and, believe me, I etill your There was a softness in her tone whit% hatiered and touched Gilbert Sinclair. It contrasted so slearplywieh the cool contempt 10.0 had of late suf- fered at the hand's of his wife. He remembered how this woman had lov- ed him; and he asked Wiles:AP what good he had, geneed i)v his marriage with Con- stane 'Clanyarae, eeteept the empty tri- umph of an alliance with a faintly of superior rank to his own, and the vain delight of marrying aa acknowledead beauty. Before Mrs. Wa.singham's broughtm had moved on, he had eromised to look 191 uron laer that evening, and at ten ()elate he was seated in the fanehar drawing-anora, teiling her his domestio wrong's, and freely caufeasing that his marrtage had been a failare.

Ile had heard of Censtanee Clariyardea marriage during • his African travels, and had come back to England resolved to avoid her, as far as it was possible for hint to do so. Time and absence had done little to less- en his love, but he resigned himself to her marriage with another as axe in- evitatee fact, only regretting she had. married a, man of whom he had by 110 means an exalted opinion. James Wye ett was one of the first persons he vis- ited on hie arrival hi .London, and frora him he heard a very unsatisfact- ory account of the marriage. it its this that had induced to aim to break through his resolution and call in Park Lane. He wanted to see for himself whether Constance was obviously un- happy. He saw little, however, to en- lighten him on this point. He found the girl he had so fondly toyed trans- formed into a perfeet woman of the world; and he could draw no inference from her careless gayety of mannereix- cept that James Wyatt ha.d said more than was justified by the circumstances of the ease. Instea.d of returning to Davenant for the autunen months, Mr. Sinclair chose this year toego to Germany, an extraordinary sacrifice of inclination, one might suppose, as his chief delight was to be found at English race meet - lags, and in the supervision of his stable at Newmarket. Mrs. Sinclair's doctor had recommend- ed change of some kind as a oare for a certain lowness oft one and general derangement of the nervous system under which his patient labored. The medical man suggested Harrowgate or Buxton, or some Welsh water -drinking place; but when Gilbert proposed. &hoe- nesthal, in the Black Forest, he caught at the idea. "Nothing would be better for Mrs. Sinclair and the baby," he said; "and you'll be near Baden-Baden if you want gayety." "I don't care about brass bands and a lot of people," answered Gilbert; I can shoot eapereallzies. I shall get on well enough for tt month or so." Constance had no objections to offer to this plan. She oared very little where her life was spent, so long as she had her child with her. A charming villa had been found half hidden among pine - trees, end here Mx. Sinclair estableshed his wife, with a, mixed household of Engltsh and foreign servants. She was very glad to be so completely with- drawn from the obligations of society, and to be able to devote herself almost entirely to the little girl, who was, of course, a paragoia of infantine grace and intelligence in the eyes of mother and nurse. The nurse was a young wom- an belonging to the village near March - brook, one of the papas of the Sunday - school, whom Ccmstance had known from girlhood. The nurse -maid who shared her duties 'in London had not been brought to Solicienestaal, but in her place Mrs. Sinclair engaged a French alrl, with sharp dark eyes and a very intelligent manner. Martha Briggeabe nurse, was rather more renowned for honesty and good temper than for in- tellectual qualifications, and she seem- ed unusually slow and stolid in compari- son with the vivacious French girl. This girl had come to Baden with a Parisi- an family„ and had been dismissed with an excellent character upori the family's departure for Vienna with a reduced staff. Her name was Melaine Deport, and she oontrived very rapidly to in- gratiate herself with her mistress, as she had dime with the good priest of the little church she had attended dur- ing her residence aa Baden, who was delighted with her artless fervor and unvarying vete. Poor Martha Briggs was rather maimed to be jealous of this new rival in her mietress's favor, and derived considerable comfort front, the fact that the baby did not take to Me- lanie. If the baby preferred her English nurse to Melanie, the little Frencla for her part seemed passioaately devot- ed. to tbe baby. She. was always eager to carry the ohild when the two nurses were out together, anti resented Mar- tha's determination to deprive her of this pleasure. One day when the two were disputing tegether upon this sub- ject, Martha hawiing at the Frenchgirl under the popular idea that she would make herself understood if she only talked loud enough, Melanie repeating her few worde of brokeu English Yeah many eraphatic shrugs and frowns and nods, a lady stopped. to listen to them Slid to admire the baby. She spoke in Frontal to Melanie, and did not address Marche, at all, much to that young per- son's indignation. She asked Melanie to whota the child belonged, and how long she had been with it, and whether she was 4=1403:fled to nursing children. adding., with a smile, that she looked rather too lady -like for a nurse -maid. Dlelenie was quite isubdueil by this compliment. She told the lady that this was the first time she had been nurse -mid. She had been lady's -maid m her last Situation, and had preferred the place very much to her . pree- ent eositiou. She told this strange lady nothing about that rapturous affection for the baby which she was in the habit of expressine, in arra Sinclair's presence.

The North eilitroreshire Itegintent presses the MatIves-Campaigning Iti it Temperature of lie In the Shade periences of a War Correspondent. Faith day while we were in Assuan the steamers arrived and disembarked tbe Egyptian and Soudanese troops which are to take part in the expedition -a visible sign to the citizens that the constant menace of the Dervish raids under which they Lave so long lived is likely to be removed at last. But that which reassured the people most, and led them to consider it quite possible that the British Government is on this occasion determined to carry its under- taking through and will itiot withehaw, was the arrival on Maxah 29 of the lst Battalion of the North Staffordshire Regiment, upward. of 1000 strong, with details under Col, Beale. On diseam.bark- iuer below Assuan, the men were march- ed, with a band playing, through the town, along the quay which, forms the principal street, and. thence by road, past the cataract, to Sheila, six miles distant, where they re -embarked on the steamers wbich were to transport them to Wady Haifa. The populace and tele Bisharin Arabs who had come in from the desert orowded to the quay 00 see the xteeiment pass. It was an impres,sive sight, and was of deep sig- nificance te all present, for they remem- bered that upward of a decade liasPass- ed since British troops last marched through. Assuan, and on that occasion their faces were turned la the north. The Abele/eh and Bisho.rin tribes oc- cupy the greater portion of the Nubian Desert between the Nile and the lted Sea. Formerly NEUTRAL OR DISLOYAL, tboY now appear to have thrown in their lot with the Egyptian Government, and have no fear of the lahalife's veu- eanee. They have for some time been made responsible for the protection of this portent of tbe frontier, and guard the lona eastern flank, being armed and sulesittized by the Government. They al- so supply useful information as to tbe movements of the Khalifa's troops and all that is aping on in the Soudan. This expedition is very acceptable to these desert tribes, who are now bringiug in their camels to Assuan and other mili- tary stations to seal them to the Gov- ernment at a high rate. At Assuan 1 met the most important of all the Alia- aledeh eheekles, LaMar, Mee more than su.spected of double-dealing, and some of whose relatives are in tee Khania's service. Ile has Leeu placed in com- mand of the various sections of the tribe; and the defense of all this por- tion of the frontier to beyond the wells of Murat has been intrusted to lain. Ile is in all probability shrewd enmesh to realize that it will be to his interest to be loyal, and the consequences of any treacbery on his part. were clearly explained to him in Assuan, Biehir was good enough to send to Ile five war correspondents a man of his tribe to am as our guide, during our march up Ole river bank along the western edge of the Aba.bdeh country. We completed our preparations at Sheilah encamping opposite the Island of Phila., with as twin temples, and set out from that plate on the evening of April 2. The distance from Assuan to Korosko, the first military station on oar road, is little over 100 miles as the crow flies; but the track) is very cir- cuitous, often leaving the river bank to wind inland for miles across dreary rovky wastes, So that, though we trav- eled about nine hours each day, eve did not reach Korosko till April 9. We found the riveraat population throughout this journey very well disposed, and willing to sell us such few supplies as they could spare from THEIR SCANTY STOCK. The expedition is especially welcome to the cultivators of the Nile Valley south of Assuan, for it will bring them int- nauuity from Dervish raids, and they feel that for the futurit they will be able always to reap wiat they have sown. The Egyptian Governnaent, moreover, pays for all forage and oth- er supplies requisitioned by the troops, so that the advance on Dongtila sig- nifies the distribution of considerable sum,s of money along the entire line of cominimication. I was astonished to find that so many of these peasants spoke a little English; this was not the case, I am told, ten year ago, and is, of course, the result of our occupation. A man who employed the English tongue alone would find it far easier to travel up the Nile Valley from the sea to Wady Haifa than -to undertake a journey in most parts of British India. During our journey the temperature rose daily to about 1.12 in the shade. It is the season of the Kharasin, so that by day the fiery desert wind gen- erally blew strong, while frequent sand storms darkened the sky and obscur- ed the sun. For the most part of the way we followed the river bank, riding along the thin broken green line of vegetation that for hundreds of miles traverses the world's greatest deserts, here, in Nutate, a belt of cultivation laboriously irrigated by multitudes of groaning water wheels worked by ox- en, a belt so narrow that one can walk across its broadest part in a few min- utes, and leap over the corn fields, which, though stretching miles along the bank, are often but a few feet in width. In places, where the shore is steep and rocky, the desert descends to the very water's edge, and the poi- sonous Dead Sea fruit is the only plant that can take 'root in the shifting sands. It was a very comfortable jour- ney, despite the heat and glare, for, though we occasionally kft the river (where it formed a great loop or where cliffs made it impossible to follow the bank), we always returned to the Nile at night to encamp in the pleasant palm groves which are found outside each of the numerous small villages.
