"You are an exceedingly extravagant girl, any dear," said raadam, re-enterires the men; "but I must say that that dress, with those graduated shades of blue satin and poultde-sole, 'and that exe quisite white Brew:tele laCe, is simply perfeetion." But exquisite dresses were n.o novelty to Mise Tredennick; and, besides, elm felt weary and loW-spirited to -day. She posi- tively refueed tp "try on" the dress, say - big that one annoyance of the kind was suificient. "Don't you feel well, Mildred?" madam asked at length, with the air of one who was enduring martyrdom. "No, I don't," replied Mildred, shortly. "You had better lie down, and let Morton or Trewhella bathe yonr 'head with eau -de -cologne, 'and take a little red lavender," advised madam, in the tame tone. "Nonsense, madam," geld Mies Trip- dennick, almost rudely; "I never sine render myself helplessly into the burets of servants when I fell out of sorts, to be fuseed about and nuesed like a sick lap -dog." And the curtain- ed doorway fluttered and the door banged as Miss Tredennick swept oat. * "And you lueve..mieconception, Steph- en, -rne.dain seid, late that evening to her nephew, who had come to dine with them, and later still to eseort them to Hollingeley House, "you have' no. con- ception how Mildred lute troied me to- day!

I cannot tell what is the matter with the girl," concluded madam, alnaost in despair. "I will not undertake her chaperonage during another seasen if she doers not alter. I must say that she is not much comfort or society to me, either." At the moment naadam would not for lur fortune three times o'ver have wet - corned her unmanageable ward as her quiet, affeetionttie, kind hearted neph- .ew's wife, and at the Sterne moment, oddly enough, with her final werds, her thoughts went with sudden quick re- gret to one who had been the most thoughtful, patient, gentle, obedient and agreeable of young companions. .

And for a, few minutes the last ipeak- er'a thoughts went after the endled tle znaiden with regret, and vain longing for her presence, CHAPTER XVII. At half -past nine o'clock Stephen Tre- denniele returned from his hotel, and was ushered by smirking, courtseying Miss Trewhella at once into madam's dress- ing room, where he found his relative robed in black -moire antique, point lace crimson velvety roue, and point lappets on her eilvery abundant hair, and dia. monde scintillating on her white pima? hands, her round wriets, her neek, and from lier dainty aristoeratie ears ,as if they were dewdrops fallen from the drooping rpses in her hair, She was very magnificent, but she was in eonsterna. tion-alrnost in teera. "She won't go, Stephen!" madam cried breathlessly with alarm and exeitement and extensive vexatien. "There WO never any one moze tried than I have been, thief day! I positively declare that Mise Tredenniek WWI return to her fa- ther and mother to -morrow, and let them send hee to a etriet scheol or con- vent, or wherever they like best- I wash my hands of her!' "Why does elle refuse?" Stephen Tre. dennick asked, in surprise and trouble. "Arid how al:ould like Va.

"Lea me see her, aunt," Captain Tre- dernick said, deprecatingly, "perhaps Millie is not well." "Perfectly well," asserted Madam, with a stamp of her foot; whereat Miss Trewhella ehuekled internally. That worthy young woman was re- solved to endure no rival in her mis. tress' consideration, and strove in her meek enduring hypocrisy of affection- ate d'evotion and her power of sly deal- ing, to aid in widening the breach be. tween her mistress and her haughty niece by every means in her power, were it °lily by the finest point of a knife-lika wedge. Miss Tredennick, who had been an object of feer to her P•om the first, and of jealous envy ,had be- come latterly eimply an objeet of spite- ful hatred, %%ince Miss Tredennick's own maid was now the recipient of Miss Tredennick's lavish preeents, PPerfeetly well," Madam repeated; "but ,if you think you can talk that •Self-wrilleid, unmanageable girl into rea. son, you are mirstaken. You are itt, lib- erty to try." She dropped indignantly down on a seat, almost regardless of her superb moire antique and point lace. "Trewhella,.tell Morton that Captain Tredennick washes to epeak to her mis- tress." "Thank you," said Stephen Treden- niekt coldly, passing out before the ob- sequious h andna a dere "d on' t trouble yourself.

Captain Tredennick put his strong hand on the woman's arm, quietly put her aside, and knoeked Mildred's dressing -room door. The young maid, a mat, pretty girl, with a frightened face and flurried manner, opened it in. stantly, "See s there, sir," she whitspereel, reply to his query, and, motioning him toward one side of the dimly -lighted room, elie gladly eseaped for a while frem its preeinets. "Millie, my dear girl, are you not well? What is the matter?" The Cap- tain groped his way to the shaded lamp and turned on a bright Mate of gas lit the exbirigniehed waxecandles at 'awl mirror, and then he saw Mildred lying, on the sofa her face turned away and buried in die eushions-inpre as if she had flung herself there in pain or mis- ery than for repose, with the volumht- cue folds of her dinner -dress lying on the carpet, her rieh hair all disordered, and one hand convuleively clasped. The room was filled with light and the beauty of rich, brilliant robes. Ste- phen Tredennick seemly knew where to stand or sit or kneel for webs of eostly frost -work, for trailing satin or tulle, for tiny white -satin shoes for jeweleasses and bouquet -holders, and eseence-bottles, Rea gloveboxes, and gorgemes cashmere wrappers. Miss Tre- denniek let none of her eight hundred, a ,year lie idly. by. "Millie dear, what is the matter? Won't you tell me?" he asked, coaxing- ly. "We are always alike, Millie -my dear eousin what mils you?"

The question whether a passenger on a railroad train bas a. right to retuSe to pay his fare if a seat is not provided for has been 'raised from time to time. It Is debatable. Circumstaiices beyond !inch control as a railroad may be reas: onably expected to keep over its trans? portation facilities may make it acres- ionally impassible to provide seats for all passenekers who want to ride on a particular e -train. At the same time, ,o,Wlisearit.a person buys a ticket he has a right to be expected to be provided with The simplest way to do .justice to both the railroads and to the traveling public would seem to be to allow any passenger who is compelled to stand, a certain re- bate for every mile that he travels be- fore a. seat becomes available for his use. .popiToy Best Paper Plib- lishcd on Poultry Culture.
