There is a covert meaning in thiaspeech that is absolutely maddening; but the en- trance of .the: geutiereen puts a atop to Mise Mordaunt's reply. She withdraws slowly, and Beate herself .upon a distant lounge, where she is immediately joined by Major Blake. +X hope you have missed me," he says, with a -tender glance), pushing aside her trailing skirts that he ,may. gain room for his Ingo person.. "I assure you the time those men spent over their wine was actionable -while X was tantalized by dreams of fair women - the entire two hours." 'Two hours! What an exaggeration: Why, by Aunt Isabel's watch that was never known to lose a minute, it was only half an hour:' "What to me was twohours to you was but a fourth of the time. How cruel an interpretation may be put upon your words! And.I have been buoying myself up with the hope, while absent from you, that when we did meet again I should .hear something kind from your lips." "And 'so you shall," says Miss Mote daunt. bestowing upon him a radiant smile, just to let "that woman" see she is not pining for the recreant Frank. But, unfortunately for the success of thething, Mrs. Loyton is looking the other way, and does not see -itat all, while Frank 1iaikett does. "Must I confess to you? Well, then, my accurate ,knowledge of the hour arose from my incessant glances at the watch, to .see if your delay in coming was really. ae Iong as it -appeared -to me." "IfI thought you meant that," -begins Blake, hesitatingly, with a sadden gleam inhis eyes. (what man but feels more valiaht-after dinner than beforeP)-"if.

Who ie ,Mrs. Leyton? and what do you know about here I am all curiosity where sheis concerned." "Do you like her?" asks Blake, merely as a. precautionary measure. "I can't say X do, exactly" replies the Irielt girl, candidly. 'Now sell me whore you first met her." "In India. Her husband was alive. when. I fleet became acquainted with her. He lived tremendously hard; but he was de- voted to her, without doubt, and she to hint, and she took his death awfully bee- ly. Never saw a woman .00 oat by any- thing nytihing before; they generally take it pret,y sensibly after the first shock, but she didn't, and went to a skeleton in leas than three mouths." "She is not very thin now." "No. 'I suppose one can't keep on pin• ing forever, and in course of time good food will cover one's' bones. But she felt it no end for months, and was altogether down in her luck. You see, he got ea - thee a horrible death, as hie horse fleet threw him, add then -almosttrampled him beyond recognition." "Dow dreadful!" murmurs Miss Mor - daunt, with a little shiver,and wonders bow Mrs. Leyton could ever have smiled afterward. Yee; wasn't it? She took it so much to heart that for .years after she could not bear the sight of a horse, though she had the best seat in rho regimen -among the women, X mean—and- could not be ln- dueed to take a ride. Before leavingIn- dia, she sold,: or gave away, every one of her horses." Here Cisey -becomes intensely intereeted. "To whom did • she give them?": she asks, indifferently.

"Don't know, I'm sure, but think itvary likely, now you mention it, es be sets such uncommon store by her. How very well Mrs. Leyton is looking just now?" says the major, 'adjusting his eyeglass with much rare, and glancing slgnifieant- ly:et the other end of the room, where sits the widow in earnest conversation with Frank1 Tialkelt.

At the momobt he mune her hand, and bending over it seems to ex- amine her rings curiously. - To Cisey the motion almost bespeaks: a betrothal and renders her half indignaut, wholly. mis- erable. Nevertheless, turning - to Major Blake, she says, with a -bright, brave smile, "I think my idea was right, and even- now he has received his reward." 'Looks uncommon like it,'' says the major, with a sigh of relief. CHAPTER II. • Had Oissy only known it, there was very little in Frank Halkett's WOrde to oause her any uneasiness.

Was I aver that?" asks Halkett, tenderly, - ' I give you full liberty to say anything ou earth you like to me." "Do you mean that?" "Certainly I mean it." "Very Rood, then, eaya-the widow, with lazy triumph; I will continue my sor- dories. And, first, you aro in love," "In love!" reiterates- Halkett, forcing himself beh'oioally to meet her laughing eyes, and reddening very much in the at- tempt.

We are much too old friends for that, I take it. And now, Frank, be a good boy; emulate your name, .toll me all about it, " I really don't know that there is any- thing much to tell," Bays Halkett; antil- ing. 'But what there is you shall hear.

But, quick as he has been, .Major Blake reaches her side' similarly •armed, almost at the same moment. "Which. shall I take?" says, Miss Obey, gayly. 'I suppose I can havemy choice. I think 'this pleases me most';" and .slie holds out her land toward Blake with a pretty smile. 'Thankyou," she continues, enplane nor slender fingers - into his !brown palm; "and good night.

In this frame of 'mind elle goes up stairs to dress, and, being. an Irishwoman,. itcannot be altogether said but that she sustains a rather pleasur- able sensation -albeit one largely mingled with something very much akin to eerv- oustt5as-as the battle -hour draws nigh, What shall I -wear, Eennedy?". she ache her maid, sinking languidly into a chair.

Never mind," says Mrs, Leyton, kindly; "get her alone; then you will have the advantage, I think she must have heard. -or fancied -something that wounds han" "I do not flatter myself so far; I merely think she prefers Bloke and wishes to get rid of me," said Halkett, gloomily,' Nonsense!.

Writing two letters, one g to a rela- tive, the other ,to a chum, he en- closed them in the wrong envelopes. It chanced that in the second letter: he had made some uncomplimentary reference to his relative, and on Lord Curzon. discovering the mistake he had made he awaited developments with anxiety. There presently came a letter from the uncle. "1 have tried hard to decipheryour .epistle," it ran, "but your writing is so atrocious that I cannot make headnor tail of it. However, I guess the drift of it to be that you need some money; you rogue, so I enclose a check." MICROBES BUSIEST TIME. Make the Greatest Trouble at Nine and Nine. . A celebrated scientist' rias made the interesting announcement that there are more microbes in the sir at nine o'clock in the morning and at nine o'clock at nightthan during any other periods of the day. He has also discovered that the percen- tage of microbes in the atmosphere' is less at tlhree o'clock in the morn- ing and three o'clock in the after- noon than at any other times. The explanation advanced for the par- -Malay of the microbe for nine o'clock a.m- and p.m. is that the "microbe hour" is controlled by the movements of people. From five to nine in the morning they are going from their homes to their working places, and from five to nine in the evening they are again journeying. through the streets, either home- ward bound or in search of plea - He noted that at or about six o'clock every morning and even- ing there were indications of the approach of the microbe' "rush" hour. From that time on until nine o'clock the atmosphere became more au,cl more crowded with genas of all kinds, some bad, some good; and then, immediately alter nine o'clock, the tide began to ebb, un til it was always lowest around about three o'alt±.• According to his reseal;ches, after.
