TITRI AD V.teNTURES OF A
LADY ELUL"'
TOLD BY HERSELF.
GHAPTEE 111.-0011tinued.
"Do you not care for such • festivities,
then?"
"-I do not know; everything seems in-
different to me now."
As I spoke, my eyes met his, and I
feared lest they had betrayed- to him
the secret of my indifference to ordinary
pleasures. The color - rushed to my
alteeks, and Ibegan to play nervously
with my fan. He rose, took my hand,
drew.. it through his arm, and led me
into the other room. Here we were met
by 'Mr. Dykes, who informed me- that
he should claim me for the next waltz,
so I knew I was only to have a few
rainutes more. with Mr. Dennison. A
vague feeling of regret seized me, for I
feared that after that evening I might
never see him again, never more listen
to his eaunsel, nor feel gladdened by
his smile. Perhaps I might look back
to this evening of my life wily as the
aged do to the brightness of their youth.
Still thesd sa.d presentiments were over-
powered by the actual delight of his
presence as we stood arm in arm sileut-
ly watching the- dancers. Then. Iwent
eff for m3t dance with Algernon, which
I enjoyed after all, for he reallta waltzed
well. What followed was not so pleas-
ant.
"I think I may as well scratch my
name off, Miss Danvers ; 1 haven't a
chance," said he despondingly.
"What do yonmean ?" I asked.
“0-11, directly that fellow asked to be
introduced to yon, I knew which way
the wind blow. An old friend, of mune.
Did you know he was coming ?"
• "You are mistaken, I assure you," I
said. "I met Mr. Dennison for the first
time the day I travelled up hero; I shall
probably never see him ..again. I qiet
not even, know his name until . you
in-
trodnced him to -night."
"That does not surprise me. He 'has
only lately taken the name of Dennison,
since he came into some money. He
has bought a nue estate somewhere in
your part of the world. Well, Miss
Danvers, you have my best wishes; and
before long I may ask fon yours when
•
Amelia"—
"I wish you would not talk in this
manner. I hate it., Oh, I am so glad
I am going home toanorrow !" I ex-
claimed involuntarily. .
'Yes; I've said all along you were a
step tea high for us."
“Ob, I'm sure I did not mean that;
but you provoked me, Mr. Dykes." -
nWell, never mind. Sit clown and
rest now; and 1 daresay you will not
have to wait long for some one to talk
to."
This vulgarity alarmed as well as dis-
gusted me, for I feared lest Mr. Denni-
son should overhear it; fortunately he
was not near enough to do so. I sat
there for about an hour, feeling myself
to be proud, ill-tempered and miserable;
for Mr. Dennison was dancing, and in
my heart I longed to be dancing too.
My spirits sauk still lower when he
eame and wished me good-bye. I long-
edi to say, "Shall I ever see you again?
Is this the end, whieh I feel 'tor be but.
the begineing of life ?"
He handed me a'scrap of paper.
, "I have scribbled down one sen tence
of Kingsley's which struck inc forcibly
when. I read ; perhaps it may be use-
ful to you. Gooct-bye."
"Good-bye," I said. mechanically. I
had. hal F hoped he WOU1LL have sent me
the book, and that it would have been
a means of future communication with
him ; but 1 WEIS disappointed, and he
left me -without another word.
I now pleaded an excuse to retire.. I
was really -fatigued; and had to start
early in the morning. As soon as I was
alone, 1 nufolded tb,e paper, and read as
follows :
“The only way to regenerate the
world is to do the duty which lies near -
and not to hunt after grand, far-
fetched. ones for oursel.ves."
These -words spoke to me strongly of
the mistake I had made, as did also my
dearly bought experience; and I resolv-
ed to inform Mrs. Porter that it was not
my intention to return.
I was really sorry to say good-bye- to
them all in the morning; and altliciitgb.
I had spent the most miserable holies of
ray life under their roof, my happiiest
moments had been spent there alSo—
only` a few hours ago. They heard of
my determination (rood naturedly, and
seemed pleased evliZu I offered to come
and see them as a friend some day. Om
the whole, they had treated nee with
great Mildews, and 'their ways mid
manners were those of their own class.
I had laid myself open o annoyance by
needlessly stepping dou from nay posi-
tion to amine that of a- Lady Help.
Such an individual milst always be an
anomaly, Moreover, I had conjectured
that nay help was to be given to lathes
who would work with. me; but i stead
of this I had been chiefly employ- d. in
assisting the General.
Poor General! Sho shed bitter tears
at partiug with me, but brighteue up
at the last, saying :
"It won't be slaving for me r uch
longer, miss ; for Joe's got the dr viug
of one of them Hammersmith 'buses
with the white horses, so you'll find me
General in a little home of my own
when you c.miles again."
They all accompauied me to the sta-
tion; and at the last moment Mr. Dykes
appeared on the platform with a huge
bouquet of exquisite flowers, which he
presented to me. As I waved my
adieux, and die train slowly glided out
of the statiou, I saw Amelia Porter
diseppear ou the arm of Mie Dykes,
and said to myself, "elll's well that ends
well."
I did ntit find myself the all -engross-
ing object of interest that I fancied I
should be wheu I got home, for they
were all in a high state of excitement
about the ball at Honeywood Chase. It
was to be en the following Thursday,
and I had but little. time to prepare for
it. I did not even announce my inten-
tion of not returning to the Porter's;
and in the general bustle I escaped q ties -
taming, for which I, in my cowardice,
was grateful.
"You look thinner and older,' said
Bessie, as we gathered round the fire in
the same room where, so short a time
ago, I hail taken upon myself "to shape
any own destiny."
-Loudon is very different from the
country," I remarkecl vagaely, turning
away my face, for fear a conscious ex-
pressiou might be written thereon. How
little they knew that the whole world
every little trivial thing had. been -alter-
ed. in my eyes! I was no longer the
Same Arnadine who had sat in that
room when the leaves wee beginning
to fall from th trees; I had connin.eno-
cd a new junei life; I had awakened.to
fresh thoughts keener aspiration 1., and
above all and 1eyond all, I had le ned
to love 1 '
"Well, Ara dine, I never thong t you
would have come home from London
without a gown fit to wear at a ball,"
said Clarice, alto was eagerly turning
over a book of fashions. '
"I don't think she wants to go at all,"
said Bessie.
"Why should you say so i ' I retorted,
witlea sbarpnesd produced by a painful
consciousness that she was Speakieg the
truth. "Yon seem tothink that I take
no interest in anything ; but it is only
natural that I should not be so excited
as you are about this ball..,. I do not
know, nor care to know, this man with
whom you are so infatuated; lie is too
good-natured. I hate people who are
always iendinj you things --stuffing
their good natnre down whether you
want it or not." •
nBut we do want it ; and we like it ;
and so will you wheu you get a tate of
it. But perhaps you will refuse game
at dinner to -night, because it came from
Honeywood. Chase ?"
"Well, don't let us quarrel," I said
with a gulp; "q1nd I will do my best
with that whit muslin. I suppose it
will do?"
"Have you to d her?" ca4ed -
outBa-
sil, poking his head in at the door.
"Have you heard, Arnadine of the hea-
t
or that awaits you ?"
"No. What is it ?" I asked, some-
what aggressively, looking from ,one to
the other.
Upon this Basil came in, and.: perch-
ing banself on a chair, asked with a
bantering air::
"Have you Seen any one you like bet-
ter than yourself during your absence,
Arnadine ?"
He looked very mischievous. I fan-
cied that in someunaccountable way
he had become possessed of my treasur-
ed secret.
"That is no business of yours," I
cried, growing crimson with shame and
vexation.- .
`....kh, my child, it is a pity ; but you.
must, throw . romance and sentiment
aside, and go in for 19th century cord -
mon sense; so stifle your recollections
of this youthful Potter or Porter." '
"How can you tease so ?"- 'said. Bes-
sie, seeing that I looked really distress-
ed.
:
"I

dislike to lir. Medway is not- re-

aro. the eldest, I suppose."
"B he's not old. Wait You see
hint.," exclaimed Clarice. .
iat is he like then ?"-I asked, feel.
ing bo nd to display a feeble curiosity
about Ithe man, who at this Christmas-
time had assumed the office of Santa
Claus 'inour family.
"There is nothing remarkable about
him," said Bessie, "except that he is
avfally nice; the sort of D18,21 you read
of in a book, you know; quiet„ but with
a certain depth and cleverness. But
description is useless; on 1Chursclay
you'll see for yourself. .He only return-
ed from town late last night."
"Yes, wait till you see him," repeated
Clarice.
* * • * * 1*
Wait! I did wait until I lost; my
small stook of patience. On that event-
ful Thursday evening, we started for
the ball in good time. Bessie was in
high glee; and even I had contrived to
throw off my depression, and; allowed
myself to feel elated at the proepect Iae-I
fore tate Wilien we stepped out of the
carriage into the brilliantly lighted h01,
the whole place seemed. to me like faiey-
land. The walls were draped with
crimsou cloth, and mirrors festooned
with the choicest flowers weee hung
at intervals in the anteroom. The
music as yet came but in snatches. I
felt in a kind. of happy dream: 1.#.1t

his voice that said :

Only you set about it in the wrong way;
my darling. Now y ur work will always
be at my side."
No answer in words came from me,
but my happiness was complete. It
could not be hidden from any of the
eyes that followed me with wonder, and
perhaps a little envy, throughout the
evening; and it soon ' became known
that I was Mr. Medway's affianced wife.
The news was also spread that he had
taken the name of Dennisoia.
Some months afteir mu marriage, we
invited all the Port 'rs to come and stay

LETTER FROM TOTING LADY.
Dear Mr. Grip: am sure that you
ca.unot refuse pie the trifle I am about -to
ask. I wa.ut you to es. ye directions to the
people whose husine a it is to tell the
Governor-General t1$ he must spend
the winter at Toronto, and get the
Princess to come and stay with him.
I am suie they must be very unhappy
without one another. And if they came
here they could give ever so many balls
and parties; and they ought to, for Pa
says that by the LETELLIER decieion the
Governor-General has relinquished all
duties except his social one, and if he
don't perfonn them what Will he do at
all? Yours eepectantly,
Luc t LIGHTFOOT.
P. S.—I dance charmingly, and. every-
body says I am pretty. And Pa has a
dry -goes store and lets me have as
many dresses as, I like, because he
match, before I do. L. L. '
Wants me to lay in a ood stock before
he fails, andT want to se upset. good

find that I am the master of Honey -

"Yes,'1 I answered breathlessly. , "I
thought I should never see you again."
"I could not have borne that," he re-
plied in low, deep tones. "You made .a

"Did I influence you so ranch as that

Why should men wear beards? Be-
