During its service the general held forth, as generals will, on the subject of nothing at all.. And when the meal was done, for several hours the little group, re- united in the bale bale, exchanged . the usual commonplace views. During that interchange, Tancred kept himself as near as he could to Mrs. Lyeth, and when at last the party broke up and he found himself alone in his room, he drew a breath which might have been almost accounted one of re- lief. Through the open window came a heaviness, subtle as the atmos- phere of a seraglio. Beyond, some palms masked a cluster of stars, but from above rained down the light and messages of other worlds. In the distance the stage of the sea, sounding afar the approach and. retreat of the waves. Beneath; in in the underbrush, fire flies glittered avoiding each other in abrupt zig- zags and sudden loops of flame. The noon had not yet risen, but the sky still was visibly blue. Aud as Tancred dropped on a seat ho loosened his neck -cloth with a thrust of his thumb. "That claret was heady," he told himself, and with a bit of cambric be mop- ped hisbrow, But was it the claret? For a little space he sat gazing at the invitations of the equator. In his ears the hum of insects still' sounded, and to his unheeding eyes the stars danced their saraband. The sea seemed to beckon and the night to wait. Thus far his life had been pre- cisely like that of any well nurtured lad of twenty-two. He had been educated at Concord, he was a graduate of Harvard ; but during his school and college days the refinement of his own home had accompanied hili) afar. lie was one of those young men, more common now than a few years since, who find it awkward to utter one woid that .could not be- said aloud in a ball -room. And iu this he was guided less perhaps by good breediug-for breeding, like every varnish, may cloak the coarsest fiber -but by native comeliness of thought. He shrank from the dis- tasteful as other men shrink from the base. His parents had had the forethought to provide hits with two sisters, one a year older than himself, one a year•Olis junior, and these girls, who at the present hour suggest in our metropolitan assemblies the charm and allure- ments of a politer age, had taken their brother in hand. They had taught him what is best left undone the grace of self-effacement, and they had• given him some breath of the aroma which they themselves exhaled. To this his parents had added a smile of singular beauty, and features elear•cut and sure. In short, his people had done their best for him And now that he was seeing the world in that easiest way, which consists in travelling around it, his letter of credit was not only in his pocket, but in his face and manner as well. negation of self before that which 119. In that struggle iu which we lay our argumente down and rejoice in defeat, he had wrestled with 011ie weakness of hie years. , And now, as he flung himself on the bed, • he clasped a pillow in his arms and sighed. He hoped for nothing, he expected nothing; but it was bliss to be conquered and enct},a_ined. The contest was done. During the " It is excellent ; may I have an. - coming week his captor would move other," before him a lurking melody, a clear accord sounded for his own delight, and then he would go, leaving the melody undisturbed, yet bearing a strain of it to fend on, a memory of enduring joy. From without the hum of insects still persisted, and the waves were noisier than before. His eyes clos- ed and he smiled. For a moment that may have outlasted an hour, he dreamed of the fabulous days in which goatherds dared to • fall in love with goddesses. And such is the advantage of a classical educa- tion, that he mumbled a line from a Greek pedant, another from a Ro- man bore. In the dactyls and the spondees he caught the rhythm of tinkling feet ; and as the measures sank him into deeper sleep, a mon- strous beetle shot through the. cat;e- ment and put the caudle out. to the mouth. It had the flavor of honey and of meal, but it was slightly acid, as though the rind of a lemon had been mixed there- with. " I will. give one to Zut, if I may," he said, thereat he tossed one, which the dog caught en the fly and swallowed with the discreetest blink. And then, with the apprecia• tion of a gourmet, Tancred added : The whirr of wings disturbed him ever so little. For an instant, he was bending over sandals, car- essing a peplum's hem. Then all 'was blank. "Tuan ! Tuan !" It was a Malay servant, hailing the foreign lord, admonishing hint to rise. The room was filled with suu• light, and on a palm tree opposite Taucred caught a glimpse of a red monkey scratching his knee, chat• tering and grimacing at paroquot. II. At tan, that noon, the general was absent. It was usually so, his daughter explained ;. the duties of the consulate at Siak claimed the clearer hoursof the day, and it was only now and thou, on highdays and festivals, that he permitted him• self the surcease of a siesta at home. " lie is indefatigable," she added, and shook her peerless head. During the morning Tancred had explored the grounds ; he had idled on the red -road and lost himself among the invitations of a green ravine. A grove of tamarinds had called to him, a stretch of aroids had entreated him that way, the sky had imprisoned him beneath a palm, a brook had murmured to him, a lake had coaxed him to its cool embrace. And. then, Zut sniff- ing at hie heels, he had returned in time for luncheon at the bungalow. "I must go to -morrow he con- tinued. And he tried to neap his departure, the tinkle of a footfall 'across yktr• hall routed and disturbed his tlioughts. Unsummoned there visited. him a melody, heard long since, the accompaniment of a song of love. With a gesture he forced it back. Had he not understood-? No ; he remembered now there was no boat from Siak for several days. IIo might engage a prahu, though, and in it effect a crossing to Perang; he could even take the train and journey to another place. Indeed, he reflected, he might readily do that. And as he told himself this, from across the hall a tinkle fainter than before reached his oar. Ho hoard a whispering voice, a door closed, and some one beat upon a g3ng of wood. It was midnight, he knew. I•lo threw his coat aside, and stared .at the stars. They were taciturn still, yet more communica- tive than ever before. One in particular, that shone sheer above the bale -bale, seemed instinct with lessons and sayings of sooth. And to the precepts it tittered, its com- panions acquiesced and smiled. Everything, even to the immaterial, the surge of the sea, the trail of the firo•flies, and the glint of a moon- beam, now aslant at his feet, con- spired to coerce hid will. The very air was alive with caresses, redolent with the balm and the odors of bamboo. Slowly he undid the laohets of a shoo. " It is wrong," he muttered, and a breeze that loitered answered, " It is right." "I will go," he continu- ed, and the great stars chorused, " You will stay." Meditatively still Le continued to disrobe ; tint in spite of the stars and the moonbeams the light utast have been insufficient. for presently he lit a candle, monologuing to hilege 1f the while. .And as he nionologl.ed Ito was aware of that fettering, overmastering force which visits youth hot ouco-the n e - The dish again was passed to him. Before he ruse from the table the majority of the sweets had disappeared. It was evident that both master and dog had a taste for just such comestibles as these. As he devoured one and then another, he noticed that Liance was watching him. " Tho general was in Mexico some years ago," Mrs.,,Lyeth" added inconsequently. " y have heard hits speak of the beauty of the wo- men. But•in New York they are more beautiful still, are they not?" "t Yes, they are pretty enough," Tancred answered. "I hear they propose to the men," Lianea iuterjected. " Ah, that is .0 libel. On loap- yenr, perhaps, and in jest, such a thing may occur, but-" "They aro well behaved then 1" "Yes indeed. I remember though one girl, her name teas -there I have forgotten 4. However, a young fellow was evidently taken with her, and e, as evidently, was taken wish th him. But, for some reason or other, he never seemed to get to the point. Ole• afternoon when he was drinking. tc{,t .rith her,' the heat of the room -our houses, you know, aro fearfully hot -must have affected her. She went off like that 1 . The young fellow was at his wits' eno. It may bo that he h;itl never seen any one faint before. , What shall I do ! what shall I do?' he exclaimed, and he was about to scream for assistance, when the girl in her swoon murmured : 'Kiss tae.' He did so and she recovered at once. H'm-thoy wore married last spriug." During the tolling of this anec- dote Tancred noticed that the 'girl's eyes were still on his, But as the ultimate phrase dropped from him, she rose and left the room. " She is exquisite," Tancred con• fided in a whisper to, Mrs. Lyeth. To this that laity assented. " But you-" he added, and then stopp- ed short. In pauses of the stroll he had promised himself that during the. afternoon he would endeavor to find an opportunity in which to say something of that which was on his mind. This, however, au accident prevented. Miss Van Lier an- nounced that she and her future step -mother were obliged to attend the funeral of a neighbor, a function at which of course it were idle for him to assist. He watched their de- parture without a protest, and gave a few more hours to the wonders of the woods. When the sun wont down hie forbearance was rewarded. The general was detained at Siak. Tattered and the ladies dined as they had lunched -alone. That evening Mrs. Lyeth seemed even more magnificent than the night before. And beside her the sultry insouciance of the maiden heighteB"d the matron's charm. They were sheerly dissimilar, daughter, of antipodal climes and race -the t ne loquacious and at ease, the u: .or taciturn and absorb- ed. But it was in eyes they differ- ed most. '1 hose of the general's bride•elect were moist as some blue flower plucked at dawn; the dew seemed stili upon them. Those, of the general's daughter were sidorial, not white nor cobalt, but something that combined the two. To a lapid- ary they would have suggested gents. As Tancred's attention wavered between the charm of the one and the beauty of the other, Mrs. Lyeth had been describing some of the surprises in which Sumatra abounds; but her speech had boon lost to him, and it was only the rising inflection with which she terminated a phrase that prompted him to reply• " In the States, I fancy; you have nothing like it?" " In the states, no; but in Mex- ico I believe-" And Tancred was about to draw on his imagination when a servant offered him some sweets. He would have let them pass, but this Mrs. Lyeth prevented. " You should try one," she said. " Liance "-and at this she glanced at the girl-" Lianco is the inventor; she will be offended if you--" And as she again glanced, Liance arched hor brow. At the moment it occurred to Taucrod that ,the re- lations between Mrs. Lyeth and her future step -child might he a trifle strained. With the aid of a silver prong Tancred helped himself to a con- fection!' It was yellow of hue, and, he presently discovered, agreeable " Let us go to the pavilion, it is cooler there." MI's. Lyeth had risen, and Tancred, hesitant still followed as she led the ray.
