He is persuaded to act as substitute. as she could upon it, and perm Lord Algy to lead her to the draw- ing -room, all dressed as she was as Juliet. CHAPTER XV. - It was apparent at once that Maida Was the bright particular star of the evening, for no sooner did she make her appearanee in the drawing -room than she was surrounded by a throng ef admiring people, each eager to do homage to the genius -which had held than enthralled. She knew they looked upon her as something above them, and removed from them by a touch of the divine. And what did she know et herselt? What had the last hour brought to her consciousness? Was it not that she ;night at any moment be hurled front her high place? Was it not that it rested with the whim of a man whether or nor she should con- tinue to hold the high place she had usurped? • But was that all that troubled, her? Was it only that site might lose the good things of the world to which she had so accustomed herself that it ltad begun to seem as if they actual- ly did belong to her? Or, now that there was a witness of her falseness, did it come to her more strongly than ever before that she was, in plain words, an impos- tor? She had a right to the love and admiration of the old.man who drew her to his side with such a tender touch of his trembling hand. • But •.she right to the humility with wIlich he looked at her, as if begging her. pardon for the liberty ef laving her? . . • • But he was her father, she told her- self with an inward agony, the great- er that it was hidden by a smiling face. And she wanted his love, She Wad never -realized before . that. she needed some love—Some pure and dis- interested.love, She was not, as .she had been, cold and hard. Her life had -seemed to have been 'impercepti- bly changing her. She was colt - fronted by a great danger. And what was the danger? . . • . She had, • thouglit- from. the .very force of ,halait, that what she would most dteed Would betlie loss of the opportunity to avenge her naOther's wrongs, and •that. the -shame of :in expoCure wettld sting her. Butnow that the danger was at hand, what was it'. she dreaded most? Theexposure? Yes, that was seine- thing—a .groat deal; but, alter all, it was the tender loving case to which she had so uncoasciously accustomed heriself. She hared -the •old maxi—lov- ed hira at a child might it. father Who had deneshet no wrong. She' had promised to wrong him in res turn, it • is tree, and she had shaped all her • actionsoto that ,end; but, comeweal or woe,, she premised her- self , that she would henceforth take all the 'have lie could give: her, and requite it in such kind that he would never let her be taken from hires What If he should die?. He did not look strong. She noticed its, mare nowthan before. . lie was not what lie had been.. When she Came to hints Suppose he should die and the ex- posure should mite afterward? : Then .it flashed through her mind that safety lay in-raarrying Guy— geed, noble Guy. Bet there again.— would. Caryl • Wilton let her marry Guy?' And yet she would not play, with that true heart,,for her own sal- vation. And why? Because down in her heart she know. she did not love him, and could not love him. a He was her. thence of safety, and he was nobleand good, and: she -might have- hint for the * wishing. Then there 7`wits Caryl • Wilton, who Was her threatening ruin. . She knew hiin by reputationto be a roue, -a man of the world, blase and indifferent. She believed he would stop at nothiug to compel her to be his. Well, and what was. her feeling for him? - -ViThat was it, indeed? • • Guy left them tocall the carriage, 'ead Maida stood listening to .the•te- grets of the, duchess and of the guests that :she should leave them so soon. And who was there in all' the bril- liant throng Who said apter or more viitty,things than. she? And who was there who hid the anguish that she did? Maida left the brilliant asserablage with a stifle upon her lips and threw herself back ' among the luxurious cushions of the•tarriages with a pray - or that she might soon be alone with\ her agony. • • As if Guy comprehended her wish, lie said •lie would sit with the driver, and So she had with her only the old man, who so devotedly loved her. She lutd had a fear all the time that she remained at the castle that Caryl would return to the drawing - room, even though she heard him say that he was going to retire. But wheii he did not come, andshe was actually going away, she felt a cer- tain relief, as if the inevito.ble strug- gle had been postponed. "If I could only think calmly," she said to herself, "If 1 cottici think away by myself, I -could face the dan- ger and estimate it. X may see my way yet. lie shall not frighten me by a look." She leaned forward as the carriage drove out of the grounds, for she would like the cool evening' air to strike on her fevered lace. As ate gazed out into the starry darkness she saw a tall figure standing under the gloom of a tree. It was a man rind he had his hands in his pockets and he was smoking. And there was that in the poise of the ilgure and the very air which told her that it was Caryl Wilton,. who had not gone to bed, Ile was out there, and he was thinking of her. Oh, lietvironi * was there no escape from him? She fell back • in the car- riage with a little gasp of terror, arid buried hem' face in her hands., "My darling, my darling, My pre - Cisme one!" cried Sir ";Richard, in alarm. •"Ts it more than fatigue? IS • "It is. aothing, father," she an- swered, feverishly. "It is nothing at all. rather, has it ever seemed to you that I was not grateful for the love you give mime? Has it ever seem- ed as if I did not love you enough in return? Toll me, father, dear.' There Was a surprising pleading in her voice and manner, and the old maw, who had never seen, her so be- fore was frightened. "No, my darling," he ansWered, reassuringly; ''you have loved me more than I have deserved, but not Mere than X Would give My life to have." "But 1 de leare you, father. And / need your love. X need it, father. You understand that, don't yeti? If X deer fseemed not, to—to-abe reepon Sive, you will forget it, will you not, and think of me as 1 cia now 05 your loving daughter'?" She :mid this almost in a whiaper, but it Wan all distinct enough to the old Many who earns In the midst of Itis alarm Could not but rejoice to hear her speak so.

You see, I needed you, to know it, anal that is why.X Old you, oh, let trio cry! Bo not mind. It will do me good." She sania back and sobbed and laughed and sobbed alternately in mild hysterics. It was the first time she had ever done such a thing, and it told hoW great the strain on her nervous system, had been. ,.. Sir 'Richard was greatly alarmed at first, but he soon saw that her ex- citement was wearing itself off and becoming less, so he dial nothing but gently soothe her and say reassuring loving words to her. And for the first time since her home-comiag she threw her arras around his neck and voluntarily kis- sed him. And it was done in such a fond, sweet way that he was reas- sured as to her Hitless, and put it down as nothing but fatigue; even enjoying the thought in his loving heart that he had a confidence with that peerless daughter of his whom nobody else might know was any- thing but the 'proud, self-sustaining creature she seemed. He went of to his room to dream of Ilea voluntary kiss and embrace. And Maida, what • did she in her room? She had told her maid not to wait for her, and so she was alone with her thoughts, just as on that first night she had been alone with them, "Now let me face the situation.", she said to herself. "X am calmer now. I almost betrayed myself to the dear old nian, but I do not mind. He knows I love him and he will be the happier for it. I am happier for having told him. Now let me think of this other. Let Me think of the peril. What have I to fear from this man? What does he know? "What does he know? He knows I am Maids, Carringford. Yes, Well, what of that? That does not tell •him that I am not also Constance Hartleigh. How should he know that I did not use another amine as .an incognito? How. should he? Then, suppose he should attempt to expose me, what would I say? X would say that I had acted as Maida Carting - ford. Whocould prove that I was not Constance liartleigh? "Yes, yes.

Maida Carriagford! Oh, Heaven! they will know that the real Constance never was an actress!..

Yes yes; but did we not go wherever they went—m3r mother and I --where the mother- and she went? Then why could I not say that / was Constance all the time. The places in the book by which I learned to play my part do correspond wonderfully With our own movements. • Well, well. Oh, no.

"But 1 clid .not, and am here' to fight the battle with the right all t against me. • Well, I will fight!" • She threw herself 'down on the bed, an dressed as ;she was, as if She stfou/d let the matter rest there. And With her head buried in her hands, she 'went to sleep, Murmuring, with the last rays of consciousness: . "1 Imo* he loves me." To be Continued. HOOKED AT LAST, CHAPTER X1V.--Continue4. And when they had left the stage a scene of the wildest description followed. The audience, held in breathlese suspense until they • had gene, broke out into cheers and cries and old Sir Richard fairly wept with the joy of what bis daughter had done. .A.nd after that first struggle with herself she thbught no snore 01 the consequeaces, but played with ail her heart a,nd soul.,It Was a wonderful perfmanance which she and Garyl Wilton gave that titled audience. She forgot, in the abaadon. of the true artist, that the handsome face, the deep musical :voice, belonged to the . one who could ruin her at a word, to the maw she had sent from her with outstretched hand, and eyes from. Which blazed that 'most terrible oS things—a pule woman's anger. She forgot everYthieg until it was all carbr: 113iien she icarterribered wlaat she had done, and realized whet it ineanta She saw it in the look on tate face of the man who had led her before the footlights to receive the mead of applause whicii she had earn- ed. And she knew now at what a priee she had earned it. If he had had any doubts before he had none •novs. He knew for a mr- tainty that Constance Hartleigh and Maida Carringford were the same person. He knew she was the per- son who had so scornfully spurned .his suit in that far away time when she was Maida Carringford. She BMW it on his face, • Well, he might know it. .What then? Could he prove it? Would he prove it? Had he fixed upon a price •. for his silenee? _ • He said nothing to her, she note.- ingtit -him. He took. her hand and led her off the stage. They Met Lord Algy in the wings. Almobt as white as herself, Algy was the first to opeak. ' He had stood leaning against the seene watching her, the tears running down his pale, thin cheeks, his lips quiverihg, Ms hands clasped, all his artistic nature moved to its greatest depths. •et Even noar the words came With dif- • ficulty, and he contented himself with • bending low over her outstretched hand and kissing it With the rever- ence Of a. cleaptee toward his saint. Guy stood at arid moodily watch- ed her with a grave end wistful look. How -could he ever hope to possess the love Of this peerless creature? It seemed to hina now more than ever before, that a vast distance lay be - them. There had once been a questio» of his nmxrying her, though she might not be his equal. Was not the question now, as to whether he was her equal?- A vast, wide -stretching gulf seemed. to yawn between them. He alone • said no Word of praise, while the • rest, in ah eager clamor, exclaimed and apostrophized,. ' Suddenly, in xt little pause, as Maida set fanning herself, and grad- ually coming back into her usual calm self-possession, • came a thin, clear voice—that of Lady Gladys. "And only think, this is her first appeatance!" It was a little thing to disturb the harmony or bring color to the pale face, but it did, There was a mo- ment's pause in, the clamor, a pause as Of doubt, and all eyes were fixed on the cioWitcast eyes, hidden by the -white 1ic10 and long lashes. "The first time! Is it not marvel- lous?" repeated Lady Gladys, turn - 1 -1. front one to another, butrkeephig her sharp eyes on Stades Slowlytho dark head was raised, but before she could speak a word, a voice, low and deep, said . slowly, and with a sort of cutting eraphasis which made it seem to mean more then it said; "I do not think there is anything raarvelleus ift it.

"Oh, I am boyoud the reach ga flat- tery, Algy," retorted Caryl to Lord Algy, who had just spoken, "But Silos IXartleigh's performance really Was wonderitd--wonderful—wonderful, but dangerotta."
