THE REVOLUTION` IN TH
LIFE OF MR. BALINGALL.
C FIAPTER I.
The afternoon had been fine, but when
youog Mr. Balingall stepped out of Miss°
Vanoourt's drawing -room, he found that a
black drift had blown across the moon, the
air had chilled, and drops of rain were fall-
ing slow aed cold, as if the low -hanging
clouds were flanged with melting
icicles. He drew on his gloves, buttoned
his great -coat over a pink flower, and
walked fast, with his head bent .lightly to
the wind. It was nearing midnight, and the
streets were almoet deserted. Turning a
corner, he came rather suddenly on two peo-
ple, a man and a woman, wlie were talking
earnestly together. Barely glancing at
them, he gave the inside of the walk, and

was about to pass them by se hen the woman
-s, mere girl-reised her hand and stopped
him.
" Will you be so kind," she said with an
exquisite gentlenese "88 to direct us to a
carriage stand? We are strangers in the
city, and are somewhat hurried, wishing to
take the Southern train."
Her voice shook a little as she ended, and
before Mr. Belingall could reply, her com-
panion -a young man with a handsome, ir-
resolute face -beret out in a tone of exces-
sive agitation :
"Don't you do it, sir, don't yoe do it.
She is gping. to Kilbuok, where the yellow
fever is raging. Twenty-five new crows yes-
terday -frost a month off. I am responsible
to her family. She will die; she can't help
dying." ,
"I beg of you not to make a scene " said
the girl, sharply. Then, to Mr. Bal'ingall,
Sir, I am compelled to go. It is a matter
of life and death. This is entirely my own
affair. I am of age. This gentleman pro-
mised to take me tci the station. We have
been walking about for more than an hour.
He pretended to lose his way, and I know
be has purposely misled me. You are a
stranger, but if you have a heart in your
bosom," -and she made passionate ges-
ture-" will you npt help me?"
"Her deeth willrbe on your head," cried
the young man. "Don't dare to give up to
her. - She is not with h0 mother, and she is
out of her wits with trotible."
To this moment Mr. Balingall had not
spoken. He had looked' from one to the
other of the strange par. The man, fliush-
ed, frightened, with. an air of depreostion
rather than of authority; the girl, quiet,
pale, and cold bat for her angrily burning
eyes. She was muffled from head to foot in
some dark looking stuff, a veil was woun
lightly round her small hat, and pushed up
just above square, delicate dark brows.
They stood near a gaslight, and these de-
tails stamped theniselves half unconsciously
on Mr. Balingall's mind and memory.
"Ob, my God !" she cried, while we
stand here the time passe', and the South-
ern train leaves at midnight." • She turned
her great angry eyes upon her companion.
"1 will never forgive you while my reason
lasts," she said, "if I do not get off. How
many times must I tell you that this itt no
affair of yours? What are you to me ?"
Your brothers will hold me responsi-
ble," he said, half sullenly.
"My brothers shall not hold you respon-
sible. I made my will this moruing, and it
exonerates you and every other human be-
ing. I act for myself: No one has a right
to oppose me, you least of all. I shall kill
myself if I do not go. How dare you keep
me with your inane talk? You coward!
Beoeuse you are afraid of fever yourself,
you think every one else ought to be. And
you tried to deceive me, pretending you
could not find a oarriage. It is shame.
You may leave me. I will trust myself to
this stranger. Will you take me to the ata --
tion? There is no time to lose,"

"Good -by, Mise. Idal," said the oung

She poured out the quick sentences in a
low but pessionately angry voice. It struck
Mr. Balingall that the extreme gentleness of
her first address to him had boeu that of a
violent repression.
He found his voice, and bowed profound-
ly. "There is a cab strand not three squares
away," he eaid ; "if you will permit me, I
will conduct you to it."
Her escort interposed. "Since the young
lady will have her way," he said, not with-
out dignity, "1 will attend to her. There
is no need of troubling you, sir."
"1 do nit trust him," she repeated.
" Come withue, if you please,"
They starttd off, the girl almost leading,
with quick, long steps. She would not take
the arm of either young man, but walked
between them in eilence so magnetic that
the whole air seemed to vibrate with her
pith. The rain was falling faster now.
Arouhd the lamp -posts were little circles of
light, and each interval of gloom, as they
paseechfrom one to the other, seemed looger
and -blacker than the last. Mr. Ballingall
felt himselrin a dream where all is unreal
and nothing natural, The only words that
would have curie to his lips, had he spoken,
would have been, "1 did not think a woman
could take such long steps."
As they neared the cab stand the girl's
companion made one more effort. For
God's take, Miss Idal-" he, began, impetu-
ouslve
"Do not call out my name on the steeet,
if you please," said she, "and do not speak
to me again. I can't bear it."
He shrugged his shoulders and was silent,
while she made her own bargain with the
cabman, promising him a double fee should
he reach the station in time. Mr. Belingall
obeyed her motion, and followed her into
the carriage. No one spoke during the
short drive. The girl leaned back and clos-
ed her eyes. It seemed to him almost a dis-
honorable thing to watch her, but as the
carriage 'rolled in and out of the light he
could not for his life restrain an eager
glance at the cold young face opposite.
Was she always so white? Or was it the
effect of all that black about her head and
shoulders? And was it the little black hat,
tipped low over her brow, that made those
deep shadows under her reddened eyelids ?.
The face was clean cut, with a short genet-
tive nose, and a wide full-mouth,now drawn
to a straight line of endurance. Her form
was of large and noble proportions. Her
gloved hands were erossed in front, of her,
end now and then they trembled slightly.
Arriving at the station Mr. Balingall
stood with the young lady in the waiting -
room, while her friend hurried off to buy
her ticket.
"Fie would play me falie now if he
could," said she, nervously. "He had pro-
mised to call for me at ten o'clock, and then
he came without a carriage, saying he had
hoped to make me change tny mind. I insisted
on going out with him, and he pretended to -
be so unfamiliar with the streets that he
couldn't find a cab stand. Ono day's delay
might have made me too late. And the
minutes are centuries !" she cried, in a tone
-that pierced her hearer's heart.
" I am glad I was able to serve you," he
said.
The ticket was secured, and the three
hastened to the train. Entering the South-
ern bound sleepiug-car, an oppressive odor
of carbolic acid assailed them. To Mr.
Balingall the etroela,sickly smell brought a
eudden horror -a realization of poisoned air,
and the foelness that disinfectants fight. He
looked at the poor young girl so strangely
met, and pity, like a wave, surged over his
soul. He trembled to think of the result of
her wild courage.
Only a few passengers were ire the car-
e little band of nurses and doctors, a Ca.tho •
lic priest- reading his prayers. They all
-looked curiously at the party who joined
them. And the conductor, when he found
that only the girl was to go under hie guid-
ance into the !sad of peril, said to her as a

should have liked to kiss the hem of her

the oar, catching snatches of conversation
that, like the odor of the carbolic acid,
brought to him a realization of what all this
meant. '
"Merely to offer spiritual consolation to
the dying, he heard the pele priest say.
And one of the doctors, a gay, boyish -
looking fellow, lifted his cap as he caught
Mr. Balingall's eye.
" Morituri to sallitamus !" he said,
lightly.

Balingall watched the train plunge forward

tate, as some people named it -that every
man was the arohiteot of his own life. For
himself he &Iola* that nothing had ever
happened -to him, but that every effect in
his life could be traced directly to Its
cause, which was arways his own deliberate
action.
On the night succeeding his adventer[e,
Mr. Wingedl went as usual to oall on Miss
Vancourt, He found her flashing some Ring
needles in and out of a glittering stuff that
she oalled Joe wool. She held the sparkling
meshes before her face, laughing through
them and her lover was struck anew with
her beauty.
"Come, admire me," said she, saucily;
"1 am so glad you are -pretty, Fanny," he
said, with a smite; "It does you so much
good."
" Don't you like it yourself, George !" she
said, with a slight pout.
"01 course, dear. But in the abstract,
I don't oare so much for beauty. I like
something grave and noble in a woman's
face."
"Something very grave will come into my
face if you are not more complimentary.
Why, you do not seem to be thinking of me
at all.
I have thought of you all day, Fanny.
In fact, I do not believe there has been a
time 8i1300 1 have known _you that I have
thought of you incr. I have been wonder-
ing if you loved me well enough to die for
"What a very queer mood you are in this
evening !" said Miss Fanny, slipping her
hand into her lover's arm, and iooking up
into his face with a little coaxing smile.
Her endearments were not to be resisted,
and George pressed the yellow head against
his breast.
Fanny was never too impassioned to ob-
serve details. What have you in your
waistcoat pocket ?" she said, rubbing a moll
pink ear against it.
"Ob, nothing -.a little box," said he, re-
luctantly.
It was Idalia's scarf -pin that he had that
evening taken to a jeweller's to have fitted
to a box.
"Ah, you have brought me a present,"
cried Miss Fanny, smiling, and slipping her
privileged fingers into his pocket.
" No, dear • do not open it," he exclaim-
ed, impulsively, but too late. She had
drawn out the pin.
"Why, George ?" she said, in round -eyed
urprise.
Mr. Balingall had been the master -spirit
hrough all this courtship; but, for all that,
e stood abashed before that innocent

nd why he felt like placing his hand over

George felt like a foolish figure in .a wit -
ens stand. The sensstion was not agree -
blot Besides, he did not wish to tell Fanny
his adventure.
"Fanny," said he, slowly, "1 would
rather not tell you -just yet -what it all
means. It is another person's secret. Can
you not trust me ?"
"Trust a man !" said Miss Fanny, with a
toss of the head. "1 know better."
"Why, I thought you were such a sweet,
confiding, innocent little soul."
"1 am not so foolish as I look," said
Fanny, composedly. "And now I want to
hear about Malls."
"1 evonder if I've got to tell it," mueed
Mr. Bfilingsil. "1. thin one of the duties
of an engaged man ?' Then: "Give me
until 4 -morrow, child, to think it over," he
said.
"Indeed I won't. It must be now."
After all, hie scruples might be far-fetoh-
ed, thought Mr. Balingall. He would tell,
and she would sympathize with that brave
girl now at the bedside of her lover. So in a
few minutes more Mies Fanny was in pos-
session of the facts in the case.
" Was she pretty ?" she asked, eagerly.
":Not exactly. She had a noble face, but
it was too pale and worn for me to judge of
ite beauty.
"I never heard of anything so queer in all
my life," eeid M. Balingall's sweetheart,
with stinging emphasis.
"Queer. In what way ?"
Oh, the whole thing; the promenading
around the streets at that hour With a man
who did not want to go with her, and atop-
ing you, a stranger, and actually making
you go to the station with her. Why, she
is the sort of a girl I should call fast !"
" Fast ! My God !"
"George, how dare you say such a word
in my presence? And how dare you look at
me as if I were aelittle-viper ?" Miss Fanny
showed symptoms of tears.
"It is only that I was somewhat surpris-
at your lack of sympathy."
"George, dear, to tell the whole truth, I
was a little jealous. Now isn't that a con-
fession for me to make? You know it isn't
ten minutes since you said that you liked
something grave and noble in a woman's
face, and didn't care for beauty. Then you
say that this girl's face was nieble and grave.
Hateful words 1 hateful Idalia 1 George,
don't you love me any more ?"
"Its a bad business,," said a gloomy `voiree
at hie elbow; and turning, he saw the girl's
late companion. "1 wish to Heaven that I
were not mixed up in it. You see, the way
of it is this: Her mother and father and all
thelamily are spending the summer up in
Minnesota. Atli when the fever broke out
she insisted on coming here, that she might
get news more quickly. She rules the fami-
ly -you noticed what a temper she had ?-
so her father brought her here to some
friends, and hurried back. The old gentle-
man wanted to get ae far off as possi-
ble," said the young man with a chuckle;
"said there were too many refugees here to
suit him ; and he didn't want Yellow Jack
served up as a breakfast, dinner, and supper
dish. But Miss Idal, you see, had a lover
down there, and he wouldn't run away -got
crazy about his duty, staid to help the
people. What queer streaks there are in
some people ! Well, he took it at last, of
course. Lord bleas you 1 -fever doeen't
discriminate, you know. It just hits out
like a blind man fighting in a crowd -
martyr or nigger, its all the same to Yellow
Jack. Soon as ever Miss Idal heard that
he lied it, she 'made up her mind to go t
him. She has sent a despatch every hour,
and the last one from his doctors said, Do-
ing well.' That was enough for her. We've
noticed that they always die when the dis-
patches say Doiug well.' Her friends di
everything except look her in her room. 5
she pounced on me, and forced me to hel

and I shall be blamed for it.",
Mr. Baliegall bit his tongue in the effor
to avoid asking a question. He would no
- take advantage of the strange chance tha
had led him into this young girl's life. Ye
he did not even know her name, excep
"Mise Idal," which was no name at all
Somebody's " Idol " he could well .believe

chief regret about the whole matter seeme
to be that some one might hold him revolt-

They had reached the cab that had brought
theto to the station, and which Mr. Baling -
all had ordered to wait.
" Will you get in ?" he said to his com-
panion.
"No, thank you. I won't go home just
yet; I'm all upset; I must get some bee .
Good -night. I hope you won't regret th s

"Why, my dear little goose, what are
you talking about? Put up your handker-
chief now, and show your eyes in their
natural color. What would become of us,
Fanny, if we should begin to get jealous of
each other ?"
"You will never be jealous of me," said
Fanny, astutely; " you are too sure of me."
"And are you not quite as sure of me ?"
asked Mr. Balingall, too indifferently, in
Miss Fanny's opinion; so she gave her small
head another toss, and said:
" Perhaps so, considering the partnership
with papa."
"Fanny 1"
Mr. Balingall stood up, pale and wrathful.
Miss Vanoourt was frightened; she flung
herself into his arms, but he repulsed her.
"You degrade me," he said, hoarsely.
"George, you are turning into a tragedy
hero," cried Fanny, with a stamp of her
foot. "You know I didn't mean anything.
I only wanted to vex you a little. And you
shouldn't be cross with me. Am I not your
own, own?1
It was their first quarrel, and they made
it up, of course. But when Mr, Balingall:
stepped out into the night once more, it was
with a feeling, new to him, of diseatisfaces
tion with himself. He had never put into
words the benefits of his allianze with Miss
Vancourt, but now an ugly sense of being
self seeking and mercenary disturbed his
composure. The splendid emotion that a
fine deed arouses filled his soul, and his per-
sonal consciousness became intensified and
concentrated, as if he drank a fiery wine.
He seemed to be walking in a valley, while
clouds rolled away from distant and glori-
ous heights, towards which were climb-
ing others whose ambitions were nobler
than his own.
For many days after this Mr, Balingall
found himself reading with avidity, the
fever reports from the South. Heretofore
he had avoided the long columns, vitalized
with offensive detail, and had sneered at
their sensational headings : "Bronze John
still Mowing the Harvest ." " The Breath
of the Fiery Dragon ;" "No Light in the
East ;" " The Wrath of God Unbroken."
But now the lurid words flickered before his
eyes like torches leading to the dismal
depthe,:luto which he looked, not sparing
his sickened sense.
But of Idalia he could find nothing. How
wee it possible? Her very name was un-
known to him. Occasionally there was a
brief dispatch from Kilbuok, rendering
thanks for aid, or gieing a list of the dead.

the young girl on her perilous way: iie
was a man wbott thoughts had always been
as controlled and methodical as his well -
regulated habits; but be found now, as
most of us dolat one time or another, that
there was a rebel in his brain whose wings
he could not; clip. If he could only know
the fate of Idalia, he believed that she
would cease to torment his visions ; but
to a decided nature uncertainty was the
moat harrowing of feelings. So he reaboned ;
and at lest the time came when he oculd test
this belief.
He was standing one day in the box office
of a theatre, baying some tickets for an en-
tertainment to which Mies Vancourt had
expressed a wish to go. Among the men
awaiting their turn at the ticket stand he
saw the youug fellow who had been with
Idolise The recognition between them was
mutual.
"How do you do 7" geld the Southerner,
with a cordial nod.
"1 neglected to exchange cards with
you," said Mr. Balingall, after a little talk.
Pray allow me to do so now."
"My name's Ormsby," said hie compani-
on ; but it isn't much use to make acquaint:
anoe now. I get off to -morrow to a polder
country. Yellow Jack is creeping up, and I
shouldn't wonder if it got to this very city.
Give it time enough before frost, and it
will travel to Maine. That a my dead-
-solemn opinion. It's like a coil of rope that's
unwinding."
"May I be allowed to ask after the young
lady who went South a few weeks ago?"
said Mr. Balingall, quietly. "1 hope she
fcund her friend recovering."
"She found her friend dying," said Mt.
Ormsby, shortly; "and she -she died last
week in the Louisville hospital."
Mr. Baliogall's heart gave a gIr. est sick
bound. But he expressed his regr ts eteadi-
ly. Then for a while he walked about the
Streets, seeing nothieg. Dead -that strong,
cool face, that emile of Heaven's sweetness,
that fearless heart -dead ! "1 had not
thought she would die," he muttered; and
a fury took possession of him, as of all who
sniffer and strike with their feeble force
against the invieible, invincible monster we
call death. ,
Mr. Balingall did not go to the theatre
that evening, but sent an excuse and a sub-
stitute to Miss Vancourt. The young lady
found neither to her taste, and was as in-
credulous to the one as indifferent toward
the other. Indeed, this was not her lover's
first offence; for the past few weeks he had
failed to please Miss Fanny entirely. His
attentions had been as unremitting as ever,
but they lacked flavor. He was sotnetimes
abstraoted in her presence; he was less
patient than usual with her caprices.
Fanny was a born gossip, and a great
talker. Mr. Balingall had often laughingly
declared that the relation between them was
that of fountain pen and diary; and one of
the chief joys of herengagementhad been the
minified interest with which he had listened
t� her exhaustless detail of the small affairs
of her oirole. But now he lost the thread
oecasiolnally of her long narratives, She had
to repeat, whioh she always did very fully,
and with an air of indignanesurprise.
":Indeed he is I not the same man," she
declared to her intimate friend, to whom
she was not too proud to complain of her
lover.
The confidante, properly sympathetic, as
' the maid in white muslin should be, sug-
gested that there must be a reason for such
change, which : her dear Fanny must find
out .
"1 believe," said Fanny, thoughtfully,
" that I date it all from the night he met
that girl."
"The yellow -fever heroine, you
with the romantic name ?"
"With the very Ally name," said Miss
Fanny, with in injured look.- "Idalia, in-
deed. You knot* we hsd a 'little quarrel
about her to begin with, and since -then I've
noticed that he ,avoids opeaking of her,
though I've aeked him a thoueand ques-
tions. And it is only since then that he has
had that air of being a thousand miles sway
when I've been talking of the most interest-
ing things,"
"Perhaps he is 'Worried about some of
his patients? Young doctors sometimes
are.'
" No; he has no practice apart from
peps's, unless it hi in the hospitals or among
the poor.. Of course he wouldn't -bother
himself about (Amity patients," said Fanny,
with fine indifference,
"So you think it is Idalia ?"
"What else can it be ? Nothing has
happened to him out of the commonrun of
thinge,except that adventure, as far as I can
find out. And I know that he admired her
immensely."
"1 should. not submit to it if I were
you."
" Why, what would you do ?" cried the
helpless Tilburina.
"Oh, I should have all ' eorts of scenes
with him," replied her friend, with pleasing
vagueneee. "And I should not be too ami-
able with hirn, Fanny. You must assert
yourself, if you mean that he shall respect
your rights.
