CIIAITER XVII.
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

"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

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.

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.

her eyes meet Dallas', "a woman's heart
is a very curious and complicated thing.'

A Song or Ecstasy.
Iu the Century there Is a paper 01
the "Sougs of American Birds," by
Joiin Burroughs. Mr. Burroughs says:
A very Interesting feature of our bint
poixfM Is the wingong, or sarjg of ec
stasy. It Is not the gist of many of
our birds. 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.
