Tho heal appeared to Cyril to stretch luno c ten nity; but Lady Trrs- tsine ton rose at last, and he tuck her back to rho hall room, ".Now you linea dour+ your duty, BIr, Burro, dont lot me Loop you," said Lady '1'(c Sidigtou, srtl.lia;; 11„r - ,'a„ Hoff in the chair elm had on u�.ied. enuring the wli0le of the evening. „Can you toll ow the time?

"So lata!" she said, "It is quite ' Limo my girl was in bud. Will you be so good as to find her for Ilse, 'Memo s,tho one with the dark roso ,),a In 1!' 1,hair." Cyril 1vent off, thinking with dis- may s- uay as ten went that in a short, a very short time ho too must Le eta; that is, if ho mnant to catch the uutrket train, which would cnnbla inial to keep his appointment with Lord Newall. Ito found Lady Troosington's daught or, a young girl last out of tho school room, and full to the (trim with delight in her first ball, iutd delivered tho message. "Oh, dear i So soon!" sho said, pouting her fresh young lips, ,.ltd looking at Cyril reproachfully. "-tire you sure mamma said wo were go- ing? I thought you were going to ask mo- to dtulcel" she addo,l, with the naivete of a schoolgirl, Poor Cyril's heart fell. "That Is what I should lilac," he said, "Perhaps Lady Tressington will bo gracious enough to permit us." "Let us dance first, and ask mam- ma afterward," suggested the young lady, demurely, and Cyril, with a laugh (-if despair that most have sounded rather oddly in Lady Anna's ears, put his arm around her waist. Tito dance seeinod, lik0 the supper, endless. Re saw the minutes racing away, and carrying with them his last Opportunity of speaking with Norah. Lady Anne was pretty and charming enough to win the heart ofn anyman, but it is to leo feared t that Cyril went lery near to actual- ly disliking her. Tho moment the music ceased ho took her to her mother, and, mota- phoictlly, almost threw her at Lowly Tressington. Then, pale with excite- ment and anxiety, ho went round in search of Norah. Ile could not see her anywhere. Ito looked at his watch; there was very little more time left than would suf- fice for him to go back to The Chequers and got his things and catch the train. At last ho saw Lady Ferndale standing by the opening of the tont, and he made his way to her. "So soon, Mr. Borne?" she said, thinking ha was going. "I am afraid so," said Cyril. "Thank you for so very pleasant en evening—" Then he out with his question with a suddemtcss that al- most startled hlnlsell. "Dave you seen Lady Noah, Lady Ferndale? 1 —I want to beg a damn." "Oh, I'm so sorry," said Lady Ferndale. "Sho was tired. It has been a long day, and she has hem so good it helping usl She has gone in to the house, and to bed, I hope; but I am really sorry that you should miss your 'lance." Cyril stared at her for a momont aghast, then in a bewildered kind of way he made for the cloakroom, and got his hat and coat, and went into tho open air. There he stood with his hands thrust into his pookots, staring va- cantly at the stars. Norah gone! The last chance of see- ing and speaking to Wer lost!: And ha was going' away perhaps for months. And there was no way of communicating with her! Go! Leave her with nothing to take with him buttho r m br neo t um o e em a of her strange, inexplicablo coldness! Not hal Lord Newall and his picture might go Stang! Then ho thought of his high resolve, of the chaneo which luck had given him, of what Jack would say, of what Norah hermit would say if he lot it slip; and he. groaned. Was there no way of letting leer know whcro ho was going and why, no way of telling her how cruelly sho had made him sutler that night, and begging her for an explanation? Even as he asked hincself the question ho saw Beeca South coming from the tont, She was wrapped in a shawl, and was evidently going home in company with Homo of the girls of rho vil...ga who were with her. Fier presenco naturally supplied him with an idea. She had carried. a message far him onca: elm should do s0 again. .Joining the group, he Went up to her, and, touching her arm, whisper- ed her Wane. She started, and turned her face to him, and its pallor struck him as It had done when he had run against her an his way from the supper room. "Come with me a minute, ]3ecca,'i he said in a whisper. Sho did not hesitate for a second, but, oboying him as if he had a right to command, took her arm from that of tho girl next to her. and seid, "Go on, Emily; I'll. catch you up directly." Tho girl, indeed the whole of tho Little group, looked at her and at Cyril, and the one she addre9sod as holly giggled knowingly, nod whis- pered something which made tho rest laugh as they looked over their shouidc' s, Cyril wan half a dozen yards in the darkness, Boma following.

Tate my word for it, Mecca, there is scarcely anything in rho world worth crying over'," he added, bittorly, as he thought of his own trouble. Botta took the wino in both her treutbling Bands and drank it, then she looked up at Cyril, with a strangle expression in her face. "You'ro—yu're eery kind to me, sir," she said. "Oh, nonsense," said Cyril, rather impatiently; he was anxious to 130 off. "Tho man who would turn front a woman in distress,' you know. Are you all right now?" I3ut it seemed as if there were still something troubling Lacca, wheel tho glass of unwonted champagne could not dispel. "Mr,—Mr. Burne," she faltered, "I —I ought to have told you--" Then she stopped. "What ought you to have told me,' said Cyril, half absently. Becca's fare grew red, and she looked at his boots and plotted at the flounce of her dress irresolutely and nerVOUlly, "It's—it's something T've found," alto said, "Something of ,nine, Becca.? Well, what is it?" and he smiled, "Don't bo so frightened. I don t supposo it's anything of consequence." to"I—Tmeant gime rtto you when I saw Youe" said poor Dacca, falter- ing lter- ine for the first time in her lifoover a db; "but—but it slipped my mind. Ecce it is," and she held out the ring, which sho had taken from her pocket and held in her hand whilo he had gone for the champagne. Olt, my ring," he said, carelessly. "Why, is that what has been troubl- ing you? or partly, eh'? What a silly child you are! Why, I don't care any- thing about it; see here, Bean, find- ings are keepings. As you've found it, you shah have it," He spoke thoughtlessly, and with the carelessness characteristic of him. It did not occur to ]nim that thorc was any imprudence or indiscretion In giving a twopenny -half -penny ring to a girl who had happened to find it. "You shall have it if you like, Decca" he said. "Ob, sirs" "Thoro you aro," said Cyril. "Here hold out your hand, and 1'11 put it an for you," Boma, a erode struggling upon her face, held up her hand, and at that mom int two persons camp to the opening of the marquee and looked out, They were Guildford Berton and Norah, "A lovely night, but dark," ho said. "I think 1 did right in advis- ing you to gat a breath of fresh air, Lady Norah." She was about to make some reply when her eyes fell upon Cyril and Berea. Cyril's back was turned to- ward Noah, and Bocce was too in- tent upon Cyril to sec the pair look- ing at them. "It flts as if it were made for you," Cyiil said, as he slipped thi ring on her finger. q Becca's eyes filled with tars as she c looked at the ring—'stolen property no longer, but her own, her very own. Then she took Cyril's hand and put it to her Pod. Cyril started acid almost snatched his hand away, and there flashed top. on him for the first time during the transaction the doubt as to its wis- dom. "Ole, come," he said, "don't make a fuss about such a trumpery pres- ent, Bocce; and let mo take you back to the tent." Guildford Berton had stood look.

Norah's frame, and her eyes filled with proud and burning tears -while she, site, the woman whose heart he had won, the woman with whom he had o:cchangcd solemn vows of eter- nal love, had been neglected by him. It was insult past all comprehen- sion, exceeding all belief. And yet she had seen those two with her oto eyes! A feeling of shame moot over her— shame for him who oould be so false, for herself in that she had loved and trusted hien. She longed to pleart some excuse and go home, to fly from the beat that seemed to be stifling her, the hideous din of the band, the Matto, and laughter which sounded like the voleea of so many mocking tzcmons in her ears. "Are ,yon tired, Norah, dear? It has been a long day." "No—yes, I think I am a little tired," ... Then a wave of attraction, repul- sion, swept over her, for she saw Cyril approaching them. Her heart, her soul event out to- ward him, but her insulted, injured womanhood recoilod. She would have risen and moved away, but her limbs refused to obey her will, and she sat motionless, statuesque, looking straight before her. "What a handsome muni" said an old lady to Lady Ferndale.

Ito saw the peoplo streaming to- ward the end of tho tent, into the supper room, but with egos that not- iced nothing; and it was with a start that he found Guildford Berton sud- denly before them, "Will you let 100 tate you in to supper, Lady Norah?"

Tito first human anatomists we•o in Alexan- dria three centuries befo'o Christ, and they and their saceessot's for 2,000 Years were connnoltly re- ported to Have indulged in antonior- tem dissection.

Tho I:dntburgh act of 1505, giving tho surgeons the body of one criminal annually 'to inako' an ana- tomic of,' was guarded by the pro- viso 'after he bo deid.' Even poetry has lent its aid to perpetuate the legend of tho 'invisiblo girl,' whoseg host was c lel 1. ed to haunt laUnt Sir Cho.rles Bell's anatomical rooms, where she had boon dissected alivo on tho night pomading that appointed! for her marriage." For a long time Alexandria was the only medical centro of the world, and the physician Laden (born about 130 A..
