It had been a happy evening for Than;
the one white night in her dull gray
life; her cheeks were still flushed, her
heart still echoing to his "Say. `yes!'"

filled her heart so novel and startling,

"No, thanks," said Emmeline icily,
and putting up her hand to keep (ter off.
"It is all very well to assume ignorance
and innocence, but though yon do it very
well—oh, very well indeed! --I don't fan-
cy you 'will impose on tui, certainly you
will not on mei" .
"What is the matter? What have I
done?" exclaimed. Joan with dismay.
Julia laughed with incredulous scorn.
"I suppose you are not aware that you
have made yourself the talk of the
piece! But perhaps you enjoy that kind
of notoriety,"
"I the talk of the place! of Redstaple„
do you mom?" asked Joan, mystified
and troubled.
"Yes, the talk of the place. I could
hear them talking about you in every
part of the room,"
"About ine!" echoea Joan, aghast.
"But why?"
"Why? Because people will talk, and
naturally, when it girl—a young girl at
her first ball—makes herself conspicuous
by hanging on to the best parti in the
room, and making such a dead set at
him that he cannot possibly escape."
Joan's face paled, then crimsoned, not
only her face, but her white, palpitating
thin.otaet.
"Do—do you mean Lord "Villiers?" she
pad. .
"Do I mean Lord Villiers!" echoed
Julia, scornfully. "Charmiug innocence,

"Quite it pattern of rustle unsophistica-

bad pushed herself on to hint and would-

White now to the lips, °Jan stood
and eyed her, yet not seeing her.
"It is false!" she said et last, the
wotde dropping slowly from her lips.
'Fel eil It is true, unfortunately. I
say unfortunately," said Julia, with the
air of an impartial iudge, "because you
happen in a kind of way to belong to
us. To dance the first dance with him,
when there were dozens of others, old
friends, who were eatitled to do so, was
had enough; but to entice him out into
the corridor, and keep hint there fot
half an hour, and set all the room
talking about you, was simply—unwo-
manly!"
,Toan's lips parted, but no words would
one for a. moment.
"For lieaveu'e sake." said Julia,
infuriated by her silence: "don't re-
peat the tactics to.morrow, or
vou'll drive lain clean out of
the place; that is. if you intend
goiug—and I suppose you do?" and she
fixed her eyes eagerly on Joan's pale,
flower-like face.
"No!" said Joan at last, and her
voice canto faint and tremulous; "no,
I shall not go. I—I have done nothing
wrong. it is not true—this that you
say. It was not my fault; he—" She
for justice. "I will not go to -morrow;
I will -never speak to Lord Villiers
agaie," . and she took her candle and
glided from• the room, her head bowed,
and her eyes full of a vague fear and
trouble.
The two girls *were on the quivive of
excitement the nest morning. Joan
stopped; net to them would she plead
had; for the first time ie her life, fail,
ed to put in au appearance at break,
fast, and had sent word down that she
had e headaehe and would not be able
to go to the Wold; and immensely re,
lieved, the two girls were revelling in
anticipatory joy.
The mid-day lunch was scrambled
through, Joan still not putting in an
appearance, and then the colonel, rather
ehaky and glass -eyed after last night's
champagne and brandy and soda, was
ready to escort them.
"All depends upon how Villiers likes
the place," said the colonel, as they
mounted to the terrace; "we must do
all eve can to persuade „him to settle.
He'd be a perfect Godsend to the place!.
Two millions of money.1 George! it
makes my mouth water. Hallo! here he
comes! He's got some notion of style,

a pair Of horses driven tanden, came
wheeling down the drive.
The tandem swung around the curve,
and the grooms sprang to the horses'
heads, as the colmel, with his most ef-
fective smile, came forward.
"How, are you, Villiers? You look as
bright as a star! Ha, what it thing
youth is! Here we are, the gills all anx-
ious to be useful!"
Lord Villiers got down and shoak
hands all around, the eyes of the girls
taking in every detail of his dress, the
shapely coat and the sportsmanlike hat
He looked "a lord," every inch of him,
they thought. .
"It's very kind of you to come," he
said. "Craddeek will be here direetly; I
passed his fly. Ah, here he is," he
said, as the fly drove up, and the bent
figure of the old man crawled out end
he hobbled forward, hat in hand, "Good
morning, Craddock. Pity to give you so
mush trouble."
"No, no, my lord," said Craddook,
wheezing, his email, twinkling eyes glit-
tering towards the others. "Colonel Oli-
ver, 1 thhik. How do you do, colonel?
Mr/ do you do, young ladies?"
Then be stopped, for Lord Villiers
was standing :cueing about the ter-
race with a sweeping glance.
"Where is Miss"—he paused a see-
ond—"Miss Ormsby " he said,
'Couldn't put in an appearance," said
the eolonel, lightly. "Knocked eut by

"Only a headaeliel" he said, his eyo

"Here, my lord," said the old man„
wile had been watching the grotip from
under his shaggy, bent brows.
"Lead on, then," said Lord Villiers.
Mr. Craddock shufflea aeross the hall,
Itis keys rattling as he moved, and open-
ed tbe door of the dining -room, or ban-
queting hall; the caretaker, who had
brought up the rear, timidly opened the
shutters and let in a bar of light, which
gleamed winterly upon the faded hang-
ings and udsty furniture. -
It was it magnificent room, but a shud-
der ran through Joan's frame at its cold,
neglectee aspect, and 'Lord Villiers, who
stood near her, with his eyes on her face,
shrugged his shoulders,
"What a depressing room," be said.
"Fancy dining here alone, with two fam-
ily portraits frowning down at you and
watching every mouthful. Thanks, M.
Craddock, but I think we'll leave this
ghostly apartment undisturbed for the
present."
The old man passed through the draw-
iug-room into a smaller anteroom, hung
round with amber drapery; there were
card tables still open in the centre. 01

—Edward, I think—lost two thousand
acres in one night in this room," and
the -old man grinned. "Beyona here is
the housekeeper's room, and this," he
opened a door leading into a long cor-
ridor, "leads to the staircase, by a back -
'ay, and the picture gallery and bed
chembers."
"All right," said Lord Villiers, cheer-
fully; "we'll see then all; that is, if
you are not tired of the business al-
ready," and he turned, not to the colonel
or the two Miss Olivers, but to Joan,
who started slightly.
"Oh, no," she said.
Mr. Craddock lea the way up the
stairs into the picture gallery.
Here a long string Of Villiers and Ar-
rowfields stretehed round the walls, rows
of stately and sweet -eyed, beautiful 'wo-
men and knightly men.
"Portrait of the late Earl of Arrowe

fore the last portrait on the wall, and
leering up at it. "Painted by Gregson;

They all stood and starecl at is as in

unlocked the door and showed them a
handsome room furnished in earved san-

pointing over the balustaiide, and they
went and looked over into the Vast space

VtVIAN ON HOUSE PLANNING.

"What do you think of the Canadian
idea of letting reel estate agents lay
out all the new suburbs adjoining our
larger cities?"
"It does not strike me favorably. The
plotting of these new districts is not
well done, It is not scientific. The
houses are built by different architects,
whereas all our houses arc built by one
.set of arehitects, who have the beauty
of the whole street mid the whole subs
urb in mind. We secure harmony by
a common plan; you secure usually only
dieeord. No city which leaves the plan-

THE ENGLISH AVIATOR.
(Montreal Herald.)
The English aviator is it somewhat
spectacular, not to say playful, perform-
er, but his playfulness comes from a
perfect mastery of the most controllable
of flying machine types. The Bleriot
monoplane in the heeds of an accom-
plished aeronaut is capable of it certain
degree of frolicsome humor, to which the
big American machines, superior per-
haps in some respects, are utter strang-
ers. It is the old history of the sloops
of Drake agains tthe galleons of the
Spanish Armada.
