Or, the Belle of the Season.,
CHAPTER,1LVTIh
When Ida went upstairs for the wash,
the need for which. Miss Isabel had so
kindly informed her of, she found that
her room was clean and fairly comfort-
able, though its appearance seemed
strange after the huge and old-fashioned
one at the Hall. The furniture was cheap
and unsubstantial; the towels were small
and thin; in place of pictures, aggressive-
lw illuminated texts scarred the walls
like freshly made wounds, and the place,
had a bare, homely s look which made
Ida shudder.
The dining -room, when she went down
to it, did not imprese her any more fa.
vorably; for here, too, the furniture was
new and shiny with a sticky kind of shini-
ness, as if the treacly varnish had not yet
dried; there was not comfortable chair
In the room; the pictures were the most
gruesome ones of Dore'e, and there was
a text over the mantelpiece as aggres-
;+ive and as hideous in• eolorang as those
In her room. A lukewarm leg of mutton,
very underdone, was on the table, the
sloth of which was by no means clean;
the dishes, which contained quite cold
vegetables, were cracked and did not
match; the bread. was of the commonest
kind, that •whioh id palled 'household;"
the knives were badly cleaned, and the
Plate was worn off the forks and spoons.
It was considered inelegant to have gas
in the dining -room, therefore a cheap
paraffin lamp was in the centre of the
table, and was more liberal of scent than
light: The curtains to the window were
of that annoying red which shrieks down
any other color near it; they made Ida's
tired eyes ache.
While she was trying to eat the slice
of gory mutton, Mrs. Heron and Isabel
watched her, lie if she were some aborig-
inal from a wild and distant country,
and they shot glances as each other, un•
easy, half -jealous, half -envious glances,
as they noted the beauty of the face, and
the grape of the figure in its black dress,
which .plain as it was, seemed to make
theirs still more dowdy and vulgar. In
the ipidet of his lugubrious account of
the annoyancee and worries of the jour-
ney. Mr. Heron broke off to ask:
"Where is Jcaeph? Ile is late to-
night
He is kept at the office," replied his
mother. "Poor boy! I hope he is not
working too hard; he has been kept work-
ing nearly every -night this week."
Isabel smiled slily at Ida, for what
reason Ida could not guess; and while
she was wondering. there came a knock
at the outer door, and presently Joseph
entered.
He was an unprepossessing young man
with small eye; and thick lips, over Which
itwould have been wise of him to wear
a big moustache; but it was the fashion
.in the City to be clean-shaven, and Ma:
Joseph considered himself the pink of
fashion. His clothes fitted him too tight-
ly, he wore cheap neckties, and ready-
made boots, of course, of patent leather.
His dark hair was plastered on the low.
retreating forehead; his face was flushed
instead of being, as one would expect,
pale from overwork.
Ida disliked him at the first glance, and
disliked him still more at the second, as
she caught his shifty eyes fixed on her
with a curious and halfineo
I n
tly al
mir-
ing expression. He came round and
shook hands—his -were ;damp and cold like
his tether's—as Mr- Heron introduced:
them -send in a voice whioh unpleasantly
matehed his face, said that he was glad
to see her.
"Tired, Impale dear?" murmured his
mother, regarding hi++ ivitii a mixture of
pride and commiseration. - •
"Oh, I'm w rn out, that's what I ^ m,""
be said, as he sank into a chair and re-
garded the certainly untemp.ting food
with an eye of disfavor. 'Been hard at it
all the evening"—he spoke with a Cock-
ney accent, City accent, and was rather
uncertain about his aspirates—"I work
likenigger." .
"Labor is prayer," remarked his father,
as if he were enunciating something
strikiugly original. "Nothing is accom-
plished without toil, my dear Joseph.
My dear Joseph regarded his father with
very much the same expression he had
bestowed upon the mutton.
"And how do you like London, Cousin
Ida?" he asked.
He hesitated before the "Cousin Ida,"
and got it out rather defiantly, for there
was something in the dignity of this pale,
refined face which awed him. It was per-
haps the first time in his life Mr. Joseph
had sat at, the same table with a lady;
for Mr. John Heron had married beneath
him, and for money; end in retiring from
the Bar, at which he had been an obvious
failure, had sunk down to the society of
his wife's class.
I have seen so little of it," replied Ida.
"I have only passed through London twice
on .my way from France to Herondale,
and from Iierondale hero."
Mr. Joseph was duly impressed be the
sound of Herondale.
"Oh, you must tell me all about your
old home," lie said, with an air of over-
confidence to conceal hie nervousness;
"and we .must show you about London a
bit; it's a tidy little place."
He grinned with an air of knowingness,
and seemed rather disconcerted that Ida
did not return his smile.
"Shall I give you some water, Ida?" said
Mr, Heron. "I regret tbat I cannot offer
you any wine. We have no intoxicants
in the house, We are all total abstain•
ere, me principle."
The other members of the family look-
ed down uncomfortably, and to Ida's sur -
'prise as if they were ashamed:
"Thank you," she said; 'I do not care
ter wine,"
I am afraid there. are a greatmany
things You will mics here,' said Mr. He -
hoe. "We are a plain, but I trust God-
fearing family. and we aro content with
the interest which springs from the daily
round, the common task. e,You 'will find
no excitements at Laburnu1si Villa."
Id's es she glanced at the family,;could
not help feeling tbat they were indeed
plain, but she made haste to say that
she did not need any oxeitements and
that her life had hitherto been devoid of
them. They seemed to think ,that it was
the proper thing to it round the table
while,'ahe was making her pretence of a
meal; but when it was finished, Mr. Jo•
seph stretched, himself out in what :was
eirroneously called an easy -chair, and
proceeded to inotio'polise the conversation.
"Regular busy. time in, the City," . he
t'emarlled to his father. "Never saw such

Africa. 'They're floating that new coins,

Mi. heron 'seemad to prick up his ears
with an amount if 'worldly interest which
soarcoly, harmonized' with bis saintly'
character:
What eomnany le that?" he asked'
aset>h,
'The company started to 'work Sir Ste -
ellen Orme is eencestdion," replied Joseph,
thrusting his hands deep into his pas.
Note anal atretclintg out his legs still
farther so that he could admire his large,
patty it °asShe lac lad feet. "Its about the

and that he 'will make a couple of mil-
lions before he has done with it. There
was a rumor in the City to -day that ho
was to get a peerage; for it's a kind of
national affair, you See. '
Ida was sitting beyond the radius of
the light from the evil -smelling lamp, so
that the others did not perceive the sud-
den pallor of her face. It seemed to her
a cruel fate that she could not escape,
even here, so many miles away from He.
rondale, from the reminder of the man
ons her heart like a stroke causing struck
Physical pain. She sat perfectly still, her
hands clasped tightly in her lap, as
wave of misery ewept over her.
"Here is an instance of toil rewarded,"
said Mr. heron, promptly improving the
occasion. 'The laborer is worthy of his
hire; and no doubt Sir Stephen Orme, by
bringing vast tracts under the beneiiceut
influence of civilization, merits the ale
tial ieward l of tat Sovereign
hands of his ellow-
subjeete. Let us trust that he will use
his wealth and high position for the
welfare of the heathen who rage in the
land which he has--er—"
"Collared," put in Mr. Joseph, in an un-
dertone and with a grin.
—"Added to the Ring's dominions,"
said Mr. Heron. 'I will consider about
the shares. I do not approve of specula-
tion—the pursuit of Mammon but as I
should use the money for charitable pur-
poses, I may on this occasion—"
"Better make up your mind pretty
soon," remarked Joseph, with a yawn.
"There's a rush for them already."
"Now that the gentlemen have got on
to business, my dear, I think we had bet-
ter retire to the drawing -room," said Mrs.
Heron, with an attempt at the "grand
lady"
They returned to -that apartment—Mr.
Joseph del not open the door for them—
and Mrs. Heron and Isabel et once start-
ed on re series of questions calculated to
elicit all the details of Ida's pat life,
her father's death and her present de-
plorable condition. Women ran be much
more merciless than men in this kind of
inquisition; and Ida, weary in mind and
body •and spirit, suffered acutely under
the ordeal. The two women did not in-
tend to be unkind; they were may sorry
for the homeless orphan;, they were 'pre-
-Pared to like her; they reluctantly and
grudgingly admired her beauty and her
grace, and had a sneaking kind of awe
of. her higher social position, of whioh
they were reminded by every word she
spoke, the high -bred accent, and that in.
ldeeribable air of delicacy and refinement
whiaheindicate geod birth; but they were
devoured by curiosity as to her mode of
life and her friends, a curiosity which
they were too vulgar, too iueousiderato
to restrain. So poor Ida had to describe
the Hall, and the servants, and the way
alae managed the farm, and the -way ill
which she rode about Herondale. They
were very much impressed; specially so
when' she mentioned Lord and Lady Ban-
nerdale's kind offer, and they exchanged
glances as the titles left Ida's lips "quite
ito
aswturall H theywere common
u y as
names, as Mrs, Heron afterwards re•
marked to Iezebel_ .
"I'm afraid you ll fins it very dull Lore,
Ida," said Mr.Heron, ,w itch a sniff. "You
won't find any society in Wood Green;
they're nearly all .City people, and there
aren't many large houses—this is, as
large as meet—and John is very street."
She sighed; and ,it was evident to Ida
that though her cousin John's "religion"
might be spine amusement to frim, it was
rather a bbugbear and nuisance to la`s
family. "But we 'must get Joseph to take
you about; and perhaps you and Isabel
might go to a matinee or two; but John
mustn't know anything about it."
Ida made haste to assure them that she
did not need any amusement, that elle
preferred to be quiet, and that she hoped
her cousin Joseph would not take any
trouble on her account. At this point
lir. Heron and his elegant son came in,
a bell was rung, and the two servants
came up for family prayers. Ida noticed
that both the maids looked bored and
disconted, and that the "parlor maid," a
mere bit of a girl, appeared to be tired
out. Mr. Heron read a portion of
Scripture and offered up a long prayer in
a harsh and rasping voice, with the man-
ner of a judge pronouncing a rentence of
seven yenre; and as the servants were
leaving the room, galled ebem back, and
remarked sternly;
' "I notice in the housekeeping book that
a larger quantity of candles than usual
!las been weld during' the past week, and
I fear that there has been grievous waste
of this useful article. Do not let it occur
again,"
The servants went out suddenly, and
Mrs. Heron suggested, much to Ida's re-
lief, that Ida would no doubt like to go
to bed. While Ida was brushing her hair
and fighting against the natural fit of
depression caused by her introduction to
this cheerful household, there Dame a
knack at the door, and ' ho admitted Mrs.
Heron. That lady was In a soiled dress-
ing -gown, bought at a sale and quite two
sizes too large for her, and with a neva
due flush, elm took from under this cepa-
cions garment a small decanter of wine.
"I thought ypu might like a little, my
dear," she said, as Ida eyed it with Baton.
ishment, "0f course we are all total ab-
stainers here, btet we keep a little in the
house for ;medicinal purposes, unknown
to John; and it's a great comfort some-
times when you're tired and iri low
spirits. Let me give you a glass."
Ida would have liked to have accepted
it, and was lorry that her refusal seem-
ed to ,disappoint Mrs. Heron, who retired
as nervously as elm had entered. A few
minutes afterwards. before Ida had got
over her astonishment at the ineidont,
there came another knoek at the door,
and Isabel entered in a dressing -gown
which was own sister to Mrs. Heron's.
"I thought -there might be something
you wanted," she said, her, bold•, eyes
wandering over Ida curfousty, and then
roaming to the contents of Ida'a dressing -
bag 'which glittered and shone on the
dressing -table.
"What long hair you hare! Do you,
brush it overyan.ight?. I don't mine, not
every night; it's too much trouble. Are
the tops of all .those things real geld?
What e lot of money they must laevo cost!
What a pretty peignoir you have on: is
it real lace? Tee, I see it is, You have
nice things!" with an envious • sigh.
"Deni you ever have more oolor than
you've got now? . Or perhaps it's because
you're tired. You must bo tired, 'when I
come to think of. it." She .dropped • her
voice end glanced round cautiously.
"Would you like to. have a little brand
d-wy-
anater? I've got some in my room—
of course, the rest don't' know anything
about it, father's teetotal road—,but. I
keep a little for when I'm tired and down
in the mouth; and when I run nut I get
some front. Joseph's room. Of course, he
isn't a total abstainer. I daresay you
guessed that diredtly you: saw' him to
night, an'rl weren ,t taken in by his ".late

Ida looked at her in alnazoment, a and
Isabel laughed knowingly.
"Joseph goes to the theatre and plays

tutes the mid-day lunch of the fighting men of the Kaiser. Note the soldier at left ready with knife in
hand to attack his share of the- rations,
billiards," she said, with sisterly can-
dor. "He works it very cleverly; he's
artful, Joseph is, and he takes father
and mother in nicely; but sometimes I
find a theatre programme in his pocket,
and marks of chalk on his coat. Oh. I
don't blame him! The life we lend in this
house would make a cat stele It'd like
being on a treadmill; nothing happens;
it's just one 'dreary round, with mother
always whining and father always preach-
ing. You heard what he said to the 'er-
vants' to-uight? I wonder they standsat.
I should go out of mind myself if I didn't

much, I suppose. I'll lend you some stuff

Ida declined the brandy and the infal-
lible preparation for whitening
hands: and not at all discourages

an inviting smile.
Ida repressed a shudder and plied her
brush vigorously, so that her hair 'hid
the scarlet 'which suffused her face.
"I knew so few of the people," she said:
"As I told you downstairs, my tether and
I led the meet secluded of lives, and saw
scarcely anyone."
Isabel eyed Ida sharply and suspi-
eiously.
"Oh. well, sof course, if you don't like
to tell me, she said, with a little toss
of her head; "but perhaps it's to soon;
when we know each ether better you'll be
more neon. I'm sure I shall be glad of
someone to tell things to."
Site sighed, and looked down with a
sontinienaal ale; but Ida did not rise to
the occasion; and with a sigh of disap-
pointment, and a last look round so that
nothing should escape her, Isabel took
her departure, and Ida was left in
peace.
Tired as she -was, it was some time be.
fore she could get to sleep. The cbange
in her life had come so suddenly that
she felt confused and bewildered. It had
not needed Joseph Heron's mention of Sur..
Stephen Orme'e vanes to bring Stafford
to her mind; for he was always present
there; and she lay, with wide-open eyes
and aching heart, repeating to herself
the letter he bad sent her, and wonder•
ing why he who, she bad thought, loved
her so passionately, had left her. Com-
pared with this sorrow, and that of her
father's death, the smaller miseries of
her present condition counted as naught.

Gallant Defence of Liege Against

Three' 19
GCamau ax
Thee defence of Liege .by 30,000
Belgians against three 'German
army corps numbering 125,000 will
go down to history as one of the
most brilliant 'feats of arms in. the
annals of war.
The Franco-Prussian war of 1870-
71 was remarkable for its sieges.
Bazaine held out at Metz against
the Germans for nearly two months
and finally • surrendered with 6,000
officers and 173,000 men. For this
he had to submit to court-martial
and was sentenced to twenty years'
imprisonment. Afterwards came
the siege of Paris, which lasted six
months• Thousands of shells were
rained on the city every day by
the Germans, and no fewer than
40,000 of the inhabitants suo'cumb-
ed to disease and hunger.
That lengthy sieges are quite pos-
sible even in these days of huge
guns is illustrated by Ohukri
Pasha's gallant defence of Adrian-
ople last year 'for 155 days. Then
there was the comparatively recent
great siege of Port Arthur in the
Russo-Japanese war in 1904-5,
which finally capitulated after be-
ing blockaded by Admiral Togo for
210 days. The name of General
Stoessel will rank with those of the
greatest soldiers of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian military
history there has never been a
siege like that of Plevna in 1877,
when Osman Pasha defied the Rus-
sians for 144 days and finally sur-
rundered on December 10th, with
30,000 men and 100 guns, owing to
provisions and ammunition running
short. In the same years Kars,
long the bulwark of the Ottoman
Empire in Asia, was stormed by the
Russians after a siege of five
months.
Twenty-two yearn earlier the
fortress had been brilliantly de-
fended for eight months against
the Russians by the Turks under
.General Williams, who had put.
15,000 men .against 50,000. '
Even these sieges, however, are
somewhat insignificant when com-
pared with some others.`Tb

siege occurred in the American
Civil war, 'when the Confederates
defended the town of Richmond for
1,485 days, or just over four years.
Sebastapol, in- the Crimean war,
held out for eleven months, while
General Goi .ion defended Khar-
toum a; a-nst the Soudanese for
300 days. The sieges of Ladysmith,
Kimberley, and Mafeking, in the
South African war, lasted 120, 123,
and 261 days respectively.
There is probably, however, no
siege 'which Britishers like to read
about so much as that carried out
by France and Spain -in their en-
deavors to carry the Rock of Gib-
raltar, 1779-83. Altogether the siege
lasted nearly four years, and as the
world knows, resulted in a com-
plete triumph of British arms, in
spite of the fact that the enemy
numbered 30,000 to 40,000 men,
while the defenders could only mus-
ter 7,000.
