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

opportunity to avenge her naOther's
wrongs, and •that. the -shame of :in

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-

with that true heart,,for her own sal-

was nobleand good, and: she -might

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 /

She :mid this almost in a whiaper,
but it Wan all distinct enough to the

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. That seems easy
enough; but is it all? Oh,. I am not

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. An actress is
born. You know yourself, Lady
Gladys, that all the studying in the
world will not rattke an aetress
tvhere nature has beeft niggardly.
Miss Martleigh is evidently a born
actress. And then 1 think we are
losing sikht of one who deserves
more credit than he Is likely to get—

ment has had a great deal to do
with 'Miss liartlei:gh's sticeesS.
"Thanks, old fellow; but efuppose
you take some ex:edit. I am sure
Miss flartleigh will agree with no
that the pear:mem= owes a great
deal to you."
"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."
"Dangerous'' repeated several.
Caryl was .standirig, leaning indo-
• lently on the back of a eltair, ana lie
stroked his Mustache with his angora
as his eye sought Militia's. She look-
ed at him.
"Yea,

"Yeti ace, such a character is a

endurance from long professional ex-
perienee; how much more severe must
the strain be upon a, youag lady who
lla$ undergone no such training. If
might advise Miss liartleigh,
would say, Do not repeat it."
There was an instant Murmur of
disapatoval at this, but, he Seemed
not to hear it, so intent Was he in

turned toward the floor as he pro-
ceeded. Presently she looked up and

late dinner, and bringing with hire a
wonderful rink of opals ana diamonds
for his sweetheart. •
On the thirdday a. letter having
come for him lay the first post, he
asked to receive the proprietor. Pro-
ducing out of the recently delivered
envelope a letter with an inclosed
cheque for £250, he made request for
his host's open chetwe in explia.nge
for his mother's crossed one. • A mo-
inentary • hesitation, and—the ex-
change was made. •
•• Next morning the gentleman again
left • for London, this time without
returning. • . .
• The "cheque was wrong—the land-
lord's cheque, too, was wrong—in the
sense that before •payraent 'could be
stopped it had been cashed. Who
the thief Was, or how he had obtain-
ed possession of a cheque on Lady
Soforth's bank, was never discover-
ed. A hue -and -cry was raised, but
nothing came of it, for the rogue
had vanished into thin air'. .
The sequel was, ,if possible, more
strange than the thing itself.
One morning, the younglady who
had been the bait, to "draw" the fa -

day to this has never been heard el.

• Quite recently a gentleman walked
into the aloon bar ole. large public -
house in West Kensington, and asked
for the landlord. ,
Now it so happens that the land-
lord is (unfortunately for himself) a
most approachable person where a
silk hat and a frock coat are con-
cerned. • In this case a message soon
brought him to the counter. A. mut-
ual drink, and the staringera whose
manners and tone were beyond re-
proach, produced a card, •
