"Yee," she said, slowly; "I am sur-

as she looked up et him,

But Lord. Villiara declined to fall into
the trap,
"I suppose so," he said calmly. "Let
me take you to your chaperon.'
"Oh, papa is our chaperon," said Julia,
with visible disappointment, "anct I do
not care toe down I would rather stand

have been dancing too xnueb."
At this moment up came the colonel,
with Emmeline, also =Bing and lang-
uishing.
"Going to join in the merry waltz,
Villiers'?" asked the colonel.
Lord Villiers shook his head,
"I think not—scarcely room," he said.
"And, frightfully hot, too," said the
colonel. "Come and get some charapagne
cup. Here are partners coming, girls."
The earl inclined hist head to the la.
dies and followed the colonel, and Julia
and Emmeline stood looking after there
with knitted brows.
But Lord Villiers did not intend, to
• let the eard room occupy Ids attention
long,
Much to Colonel Oliver's amazement,
he pointed out Joan as a particularly
attractive -girl, and begged an introduc-
tions
The colonel endeavored to pooh-hoola
the idea, but without success, and re-
luctantly introduced Lord Villiers to
his ward, Miss Ormsby.
Joan inclined her head, and Lord Vil-
liers bowed, then with a smile, dismiss-
ed Colonel Oliver.
"I'll join you in a cigar presently," he
+said.
Then, when the colonel had got out
of hearing, he said:
"We are introduced in proper. fathion
now, Miss Joant—I suppose I must call
you Miss Ormsby, though!"
"It does not matter," said Joan light-
ly. She was grateful to him for his deli-
cate consideration. "I thought you had
gone for good."
"I did intend taking fligra," be said;
"but I have not, you see! Why did you
not tell me that you were the ward of
imy old friend, Colonel Oliver?"
Joan laughed. A strange kind of hap-
piness had taken possession of her, and
the room seemed no longer hot, or the
band discordant.
"You did not ask me! When I was
going to tell you my name, and every-
thing else, the other night, you stopped
"So I did! It was my fault!" he said,
"I did not want to seem to force con-
fidenee. And have you been sitting out
here all this time?"
"Yes," said Joan, contentedly; "it is
great fun watching the dancers.'
"Most young ladies think it greater
fun to dance," he said. "Will you give
me the next waltz?"
Joan's face flushed, and there flashed
into her heart a feeling of gratitude to
the colonel. that he had, in a fit of gen-
orsity, had taught her dancing.
"Yes, if you like, but—"
"No buts," he said. "Comet'

put his arm around her waist and

"Perhaps if you did," said Joan, "it
would make me really unhappy. Yon
see, 1 shouldn't like to come back tn
the abadow again." And she looked up
at him with is smite.
Ire stood watehing her, noting the ple.y
of her beautiful eyes, which summit to
mirror every tbouglit—the mayentent of
her graceful neatl—the golden gleam of
her chestnut heir shining in the light
from the ball room.
A wild. longing was gradually rising
within him; a longing to take her away

and, worse than their solitude, the soci-
ety of the two powdered, painted. girls
and their When who tyrannized, over

"And if you do not find it so, you will

"I should never blame you," he said,
gravely, "whatever happens, I have in.

denly, as if he had been about to add
• something, then he went on: "I wonder
whether the colonel would accompany
me and give me his advice? But now
let me take you back."
When Joan re-enteme the room on his
arm she encountered it volley of envious
glances that if glancoe could. kill wouln
have laid her dead at his feet.
But Joan, being innocent, was uncon-
scious, and, Lord Villiers, though neither
Innocent nor unconscious, was perfectly
indifferent. At the same time he SAW
that he ahould only be making trouble
for her if he did not take care, and he
led her back to her seat.
"1 em going to Once this with some-
one else," he said, in itlow tone; "but
you must give nee another waltz before
I go, Miss Joan."
Joan watched him go across the room
and offer him arra to julia, who, beam-
ing with smiles, danced the next waltz
with him. Then ahe saw the Honorable
Fitz -Simon struggling through the crowd,
and, to her astonishment, she found him
standing before her, ogling her through
his eyeglass'and .begging for the honor
of the neon melee,
Not only the Honorable
but a number of other gentlemen seemed
smitten with a desire to have her for a
partner, and Joan's programme began
to fill up; there was only one waltz left,
and thie she kept in case Lord Villiers
would ask for it.
The evening meow late, or rather the
morning grew early; supper was over,
the hot crowd, slightly refreshed, were
dancing itiore furiously than ever, when
Joan, who had just gone through 3 pro-
cess of bumping and jostling in the arms
of a young gentleman ivizo gasped. out
"1 be your pardon" alntost with every
bar of the Inusic, saw Lord. Villiers re-
enter the room. Ire looked around, as
If in search of someone, and then, seeing
her, came straight for her chair.
"My witItzi" ae said, and he put bis
-arm round her waist, end jolued the
rest, "Well," he mid, in a low voice,
"are you satisfied, Miss jean?"
"Satisfied?" she repeaten, question-
ingly.
"Yes, yoU ought to be. Rave you not
achieved the height of every woman's
ambition? Are you not the belle of the
room.,"
Joan flushed, then laughed.
"Why do you say suck things?" she
said, rebukingly.
"It is the plain truth," he responded.
"I have been watching the progress of
your triumph, and not I alone—all the
ohi women on the ebeirs there, to say
nothing of the young ones, have remark-
ed your conquests. If you go and -ask
the gentlemen there standing by the
door who in the most sought-after youag

Ormsby."
Joan laughed Again. Vanity not be-
ing her weak point, she took for flattery

had stated.
"Why do you make fun a me" she
said, smiling up at him. "Do you think
that I am so silly as not to know jest

breathed e faint sigh.

caught sight of Joan.

LIFE IN A GREAsT CITY.
(Chicago Tribune.)
The crowd blocked, the sidewalk and
spread out half way across the street.
Men struggled and almost fought to
force their way through, to find out
what was going on.
"What's the trouble?" milted a dozen
voices, •
The answers were unsatisfactory. It
was a man in a fit. Somebody had faint-
ed. Two newsboys were fighting. A wee
meat had been run over by a delivery
wagon. A pickpocket had been caught in
the net.
"...A.W &an, here! Move ahnl" enciv-
erated a policeman, who was the last to
arrive.
The Crowd melted away.
Then [Id cause of the excitement was
revealed.
It was a glazier, trying to bre.ak off

eRATS VS, DOGS.
(Montreal Star.)
Two hundred and seventy-five dogs
were captured on the streets of Mont-
real last month by the police and the
glorious work is going on at die rate of
about twenty per diem. Most of them,
probably nearly all of them, were con-
dmunea to slaughter because their owu-
ers neglected to pay, or could not pay,
the civic dog tax, Our impression is
that the poli , could be better employed.
in catching and killing rats. Of course,
it is all it inatter of taste; and if the
civic authorities prefer rats to dogs,
they are. acting according to their tastes
and convictions, in thus interfering with
the balance of nature. At the present
time Montreal can, we believe, boast of
more rats to the acre than any other
• eity in the world.
BETTER THAN SPANKING,
Spanking does not cure children of
bed-wetting. There is it constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. Sum-
mers, Box W. 8, 'Windsor, Ont., will send -
free to any rnother her successful home
treatment, -with full instructions. Send
no money, but write her to -day if your
children trouble yon in this way. Don't
blame- the child, the chances are it can't
help it. This treatment also cures
adults and aged people troubled with
urine difficulties by day or night.
