But, after the meal there came a harder trial than merely sitting at a tea table and acting as if sho were at home there. Sir Richard, anxious to please her, gave her his arm ag they rose from the table, and led her into the little gallery where ho had sat that night awaiting her corning, With a .pleased smile on his face he led her from picture to picture, with- out making' any conanient en any of them, end she got the idea, %some- how, that an ,ordeal was being pre- pared for her, and she. was on the alert to meet it, whatever it might be.

The thought of the dreary past overcame the old man, and he sank into a chair, and with downcast eyes rested his head on his hand. `Guy," he said a =intent later, "do not tell me for a few days any- thing about her past life: I would enjoy her as she is without any thought of the past if I can."

An in- describable air, in Which pity and coldness were mingled, came over'her in an instant, and, ceasing the pa- thetic thing she was playing, she changed :the tune and broke into a gay aria from one of Ithe popular operas. Guy turned'away moodily for he had noticed the effect of his presence on his cousin, but the old man look- ed up gayly and began to nod his head ia appreciative time to the' music. He arose and went over to her•side; and when She stopped, said, enthusiastically: . "Yoa play and sing divinely," "I ain glad if you ere pleased." "More than pleased.

When the crisis of the day was evidently approaching the last fusee had been burnt, and nothing but the cold ashes of Moltke's cigar remained. At length Bismarck's attention was directed to the great general, upon whose sagacity the fortune of -the fight so largely depended. Moving up to him, Bismarck quietly struck a fusee, applied it to Moltke's cigar, and the welcome sight of the blue tobacco smoke °curling up from the commander's lips rewarded the at- tention of the Chancellor. Bismarck drawing bech in his solid way, said, with exultation in his voice: 'All must t now be weir' Moltke smokes again," The battle was won. DIDN'T MIND WHAT SHE HAD.
