Tlila la whut haHH-ned to Dnllaa. In the nftrrniMiti, aa lie was altliiiK in Ilia own rooms inditing; a letter to the beloved of hia heart, the door oiieneii suddenly and a velhil lady entered with some lit tle nolw. There was no need for her to remove her veil to mnke I)alloa aware Hint his viaitor was I.ady IatiK'r(ield. "What la the aintterT" lie cried, spring Iiik to his fii t. 'Ilia lurilahlp knows all. I have left home forever, and I have eouic to you." liiillna grew white timler the bronie w ith m hi. Ii the aim bad ilyeil him. lie went throiiKb a niomrnl lon and compre henaive a that of the drowniuc man. Ilia love lout forever, bimaelf imblli-d with a vlrneo whom he had cerliiiuly never loved and whom he abhorred to-day, bis iMiaitl.m ruined, bi life done for this was the tax on the plea Hunt and faahionable amiiaenieut of milking love to one's ueigh Ixir'a wife. He atikid staring at her; his face, al ways exprcaaive of the emotion of the mnuii-tit, wore a hiirror atrin k eipression, which conlil acanvly be flattering to her Indyahip under the circumstances, hue Hew at him with bitter reproaches. That was 1 be way with a man' a woman sacri ficed everything for him, and then, the UKiinent thinga went wrong, he w anted to cry off. I'allna leaned saainat the etnnmey (ileee, gnauing hia under lip, and iin-upable, iu this deaperatc situation, of aaytng any thing. He only felt an unutterable hor ror, a aickening sense of a loat life, of ruin, iiiImtv, w retclieilneaa. What dcH-s he know? How does he know';" he gaK-d at length. I gave that wretch Auielte warning laat night, and she went to him after luncheon to day. and he came straight to me and made the most violent scene. It eeelna she found one of your letters and kept It the Bend!" Itallas racked hia brain to rcnieinln-r what he could ever have written to her biil.vahip. He did nut believe himself fool eiiiuith to have wnt her a really com promining letter. "What was In the letter T' he aaked. "I don't know. He would not let me see it; but he threatened me, and I told him I ahotilil leave him. and I have. Hut you cnu't stny here!" cried Hal- las, with inure energy thau be had yet diplaycd. "Any im uncut some on may come in ami aee you." What do I carer cried her ladyship, violently, Imrxting into a passion of sobs.. ion have got me into this, and you must get me out of It." Hallaa felt himaelf a brute. He ought to an.it he the grief of this distracted lady; the circumstances- required expressions of tenderness on his part, and be felt nothing but anger, impatience and general deapair. He munt move heaven and earth to get her away from bis rooms to pre vail on her. If possible, to go back home; hut it vos hopeless, know ing her moods as well as he did, to say a word until she had calmed down a little. Ami, perhaps, after all, the worst would happen, and he would liHve to take and keep her for ever. i hat In tlie world had ne even seen In her? And then he thought agon isingly of the girl he loved, whom he looked upon as an angel, and who would now perhaps be lost to him forever. The door opened agiiin very quietly this time; I mllns hud not heard the slight pre liminary tap and Mrs. Trevnnion came in. Uhe was well In the room liefore she w- Lady Hiiiigcrtield crouched in a low chair, sobbing violently. Then she paused, looked at Hollas' pale, distracted face, and grasiKMl. In part at' least, the sit uation. She prepared to retreat, and made a beckoning sign to him, which he obeyed. What on earth does this mean?" she asked, looking at him with frightened eyes. "My dear boy, how can you be ao Imprudent? "Imprudent!" he gasped. "I expect I am about ruined!" He leaned agninst the framework of the door, looking the picture of despair. Mie has left Dnngerlleld and come to me says he knows everything; aud what 11 the name of hen veil ami going to do with her?" That is nonsense!" said Mrs. Trevan- on, sharply. "She must he mad. She cannot stay with you. Hues she want to ruin you?" I suppose so," utteroj Dallas, despair ingly. We must get her away from here somehow," said Mrs. Trevaniou, who was s anxious about Hallua aa she would ave lioen hud her owu sun been placed in a similar prcdicameut. I don t know how, he answered. When she la In one of her tempera, she wou't listen to reason." I shall go and tnlk to her," eaid Mrs. Trevaniou, with determination. "Impossible! cried Dallas, in a smoth ered voice. "She would never forgive nie Resides, awful aa this business is, I can't shirk it." 'You must go away and leave her to me." Dallas was so much In the habit of do ing what his friend told bini, that, iu spite of dreadful misgivings, he obeyed her, ml w hen the street door closed upon him Mrs, Trevaniou went to interview I-aily Dungerfleld, feeling about as uncomforta ble as she had ever done In her life. Mrs. Trevnnlon'a manner Is so quiet, ml her tone so cool that they have a mesmeric effect on I.ady Dungertield; ml every word is so true that it goes oine. She stands with her face averted from the speaker, and a new light begins to dawn upon her. After all, she has committed this escnpude in A fit of pas sion; his lurdship has been very augry, but he said nothing about leaving her or turning her out of the house; she left It in an access of passion; he is not to know Where she has been, unless Mrs. Trevan- ion betrays her, and that (with a pang oi rage) she is not likely to do. for Dallas' sake. But her head la not cool enough to reason, so she simply doea what the im pulse of temper prompts. "I have not the least intention of sacri firing anything for Mr. Rroke," she said contemptuously, behaving, figuratively sieakiiig. like the ostrich, who puts its head in the sand. "I came to say some thing to him. aud be ran away like a cur. so I can't say it. But I suppose," with sarcasm, "if you can come and see him there is no reason why I should not do the same." Mrs. Trevanion smiled. "You flatter me very much." site said, "But what a woman of my age can do is not what ia permitted to a young woman like you. ' I.ady Dangerfield curls her lip snperci! totisly, as though to say: "You need not think you take me in by mat." "Well," she remarked, "we may as well go out together, and I will get into a hanaom." Mrs. Trevanion turned to her with a sudden movement. "Just this once," she said, "make fr -nd of me and trust me. It me drive you home; it w ill lie better for you. Aud.' looking Ijidy Dangerfield straight iu the eyes, "think what you will of me, but when I give my word it is sacred; no one shall ever know a ayilable of this." "I don't care whether they do or not,' said ber ladyship, recklessly. "And I would not trust any woman in the world on her most sacred oath. But I think it quite possible, for the sake of your Hear Pallas, scornfnly. "that you will hold your tongue. All right; yon can drive me home if you like, aud then come back to be thanked sin blessed by him." The following morning Dallas received a let'.er from Ijidy DanKcrtield, which was a choice specimen of invectives, ma I li-e, aud sarcasm, but it was dated from her husband's house, and contained no hint of spending the future or any part of It in the society of Mr. Broke. In ieed she went so far as to caution him against presuming to call at her door or approach ing her In public. With a deep sigh of relief, Pallas tore the letter into fifty pieces; she was his eryrmy for life. CHAPTER XVIII. June was delighted to return home. As for Tom, his Joy at recovering her was exuberant; he could hardly take bis eyes off his darliug, and returned for the nonce to the lover-like demonstrations of the first part of their married life, which June in later days had so sorely missed. Madge came up to the Hall every day. and the cousins talke.i with much inter est of the incidents of their stay in town and looked forward exceedingly to the ad vent of some of their London friends at the end of the month. Mrs. Trevanion was coming; Dallas was to spend a week with them, and also a Mr. Cat-slake, in whom Madge took a certain amount of iu tercet, aud who had evinced a decided partiality for her society. In her mind June had already arranged a marriage between the pair, ns Mr. Carslake was in every way desirable, with the exception of being perhaps rather too old. It would have seemed strange that so very gmve aud quiet a man should attract and be attrncted by a madcap like Madge, did not the very smallest experience teach one that opposite and not similar quali ties most frequently draw the sexes to gether. A week later Mr. Carslake and Dallas arrived. . Mrs. Trevanion was to have come on the same day, but her son had caught a severe chill aud had to be nurs ed at home. Three days went by three pleasant summer days, with blue skies, aud a hot sun tempered by delicious breezes. Mr Carsluke, Dallas, Juue aud Madge made a very happy quartet. They rode and drove, played lawu tennis, strolled in the gardens, sat under big trees, went on the lakelet always together, and yet sufrl ciently apart to be able to carry on their conversations out of each other s imme diate hearing. Tom was tremendously busy with various bucolic operations, aud no smallest thought crossed his mind of there being any danger in leaving two such handsome young people together as his wife aud Dnllus. Juue was his; to his way of thinking, the marriage ceremony locked the doors of a woman's heart and gave the key over to her husband's keep ing. There were only two sorts of women the right sort and the wrong sort. June was the right sort; therefore, for her, there only existed one man in the world, and there was no earthly occasion for him to watch that no one else had desig., on his property. So far hia confidence waa perfectly jus tified. June loved her husband, and was not likely to have a thought about any other man, except, perhaps, that be was good to look at and good comimny, and Pallas was full of hia unfortunate pas sion, and, although never unappreciativc of a pretty woman, had no thought or wish that might endnnger his host a aud cousin's pence of mind, Dinner was over. Juue was about to rise from the table. Let ua go with yon; may we?"jsaid Dallas, in a low voice. "We don't want to drink any more, and this night is too heavenly to be spent indoors." Tom aud Agues remained sitting; the other four had riseu. I will stny with you, Tom, said Ag nes. "May 1, June, 1 nave several mings to say to him, and then we can go aud look at darliug boy." Juue was sensible of that irritation which her couain Invarfnhly produced In her. !lie hud remarked how Agnes had been strniuliig every nerve to amuse aud Interest Tom during dinner. The embryo saint hod even herself little coquettish airs, and Tom had laughed and talked more tlio n usual, and seemed in tho best of teiniers and spirits, "By all means stay and talk to Tom," returned June, with a perceptible change of tone from that in which she had just Ix-en speaking. "But please," with de cision, "do not go up to the nursery. I particularly dislike having Tom disturbed in his sleep." "Why, Juny," cried her husband, "yon go up every night of your life yourself, and the boy sleeps like a top; nothing ever wakes him." June would have reiterated her prohibi tion, but, not wanting to be made to look nnamisble liefore her other guests, she turned and went out of the door, which Dnllus was holding often. "Let us go in the boat; shall we?" he suggested. She acquiesced readily. The moon was coming out, and both thought, as Halloa pulled lazily at the sculls, of the last time they were there together. "What a night!" she said. "1 wonder," smiling, "what has become of those young lovers." , "It is going to ! a match, is it not?" asked Dallas. "Well, he is a thorough good chap; but I should have fancied him a little bit too old and serious for Misa Madge. But one can see that she doea no,t think so." "How I wish," said June, drawing her slim fingers through the water, "that l-aiy Jane waa here! Then you would be happy, too." "I am very happy," he answered, with a long sigh which a little belied bis words. "I wonder," pn using to rest on his oars, aud looking very earnestly at June, "if it will ever come right?" "I hope so," June uttered, kindly. Dullas bent still nearer June, and gazed at her even more intently. "Do you reully think," he said, "that marriage is a good thing?" "A very good thing," she answered. smiling. "But," said Dallas, "what is one to do? Most likely a man can't marry the first woman he falls in love with very lucky too for him, gercrally and is he to go on being faithful to her memory? And then," a little smile curling his lip under his fair mustache, "there are so many cuarming ladies going about the world, one would have to tie made of marble not to fall iu love with them. Do yon remem ber," resting on his oars and looking at June, "this time three years ago? I was most awfully in love with you. I was miserable for a long time afterward." June smiled; the time is past and gone when the memory of Dallas short love making and sudden flight could wound her amour-propre; she has even got over the dreadful numiliation of baviug been kissed by him. "Were you awfully in love?' she asked. archly. "Yet you went away and made no sign. By the way, as if stimulated by sudden curiosity, "why did you not wish me good-by or send me a message before you left? It waa not at all civd of you." 'I)on't you know?" said Dallas, with some eagerness. "Did Tom not tell you? It was he who sent me off and made me promise not to see or sicak to you again. And " here Dallas was aliout to reveal how Mrs. Trevanion had dissuaded him from writing to her, when it occurred to him that Lady Nevil, however much she liked the other lady, would not care to have been discussed by her and himself, and paused abruptly. "It was rather a shame of you," he went on, changing his sentenc?. to let me tumli you did not care for Tom. Juue leaned back against the cushions and looked up at the dark-blue sky. 'It was quite true," she said, thought fully. "I did not love him then; I felt quite sure I uever should; and yet. bringing her eyes slowly down again to the water, a year later I adored him, and have gone on adoring him ever since. suppose," smiling a little, and letting her eyes meet Dallas', "a woman's heart is a very curious and complicated thing.'

Indeed, kss than a dozen vpccles are known to rue as singing on the wing. It seams to miring from fore intense exclteuieut and setf-aban-donuve-nt tlmn the ordinary song deliv ered from the- perch. When the bird's Joy reaches the point of rapture It Is laterally curried off its feet, and up it goes into the air, pouring out Its song ns a rocket pours its sparks. Tie sky nrk. and the bobolink, habitually do his, but a few others of our birds do It only on occasions. Last summer, tip n the Caukills, I added another Hutue to my list of ecstatic singers that of the vesper-sparrow-. Several times 1 heard a .new song in the air, and aught 8 glimpse of the bird as it dropped back to earth. My attention would be attracted by a succession of hurried, clilrpiug notes, followed by a brief burst of song, then by the vanish ing form of the bird. One day I was lucky enough to see the bird as It was isiug to its cHuuai In the air, and Identified Is as the ve.ier-pparrow. The burst of song tliat crowned the upward flight of seventy-flve oi one hundred feet was brief; but It was bril liant and striking, .and entirely unlike the leisurely chant of the bird while up on tlie ground. It suggested a lark, but was Ices buzzing or bumming. Th preliminary chirping notes, uttered faster and faster as the bird mounted to the air, were like the trail of sparks which a rocket emits before Its grand burst of color at the top of Its flight.
