My Jove! 1 mutt get out of here and have tome air and quiet." Blake had been working at a terrible pnee for nionitht and he wat even now tt raining every nerve to accomplish more than wat expected of him, through the feverish restlest ttrlving from thoiitrhtt of hinuelf. W'irk wat the panacea. What mattered tt it he did lie awake night after night eon tciout of gradual lost of tt-rength for the day's labor, if at the close of the conflict for sleep he fell Into a com atote ttnte, neither awake nir sleep ing, wherein a deliciout, rettfn! lan guor predominated, granting him float ing vitions of the woman he loved. Upon hit brow he felt the gentle touch of her cool flngert; he heard her murmur wordt of pity and tenderness, in low, tweet tones, and for a few mo menta hit soul teemed to leave the body and float with hert, at did Fran oetca and Paula, through apace. It wat north the hard grind of the wearitome day to welcome night, the old struggle aud once more thia de- near aud he averted the most terlout contequencet," the replied, nerwiusly. "Lord Alfredl firnce, It he ever to be near you?" the agitated lover ejsc. iilalcd, while the color flathed Into hit pale ftce, V "Ned I" That wa all, but the tone of re proach cut him like a whip. "My darling girl. It it rumored everywhere that you are engaged to marry him, hilt 1 could nt believe it. You would not tell yourself for a title and the paltry gold ha coiitrola?" he asked In a bitter tone. "KeU! you are unjust to me now at always. Lord Alfred hna been very kind, he la a connection of my family and he Is nrraturing to restore certain estates to me that hnve been In liti gation for yeare. Indeed, Xed, I f"r you will be allocked to hear that I am l.adv Grace Ward Instead of Oh. Kedl don't look to horror-atrlcketi," the added, roguishly. "It is a tmall af fair, anyway. The title goea with the estates." "Where are the estatea, may I ask?" he freezingly Inquired. "In Klfexhlrej Scotland, you know niy birth-plBce. You are not angry with me brcauee of this stroke of good fortune, are you Ned?" Pbe looked at him keenly as If to rend his soul.

Xed!" the girl Interrupted him, in a beseeching tone, hut bia un reasonable overtaxed system refused to recognlite It. "I am no fort une-hmiter', Grace, but your opportunities are greater, and you muat marry befitting your sta tion." "Ned llluke! I am ashamed of yon an American gentleman discussing station and cnt in this age and in this country. That is at absurd us your unreasonable jealousy over Lord Alfred, lie la not young more like a father to mc, but you assumed thut I was like most of the women, daw.led by gold and splendor, there are some exceptions, Ned llhike," retorted the new thoroughly angered girl. "You men credit us with intelligence, nnd at the slightest deviation from the line of your interpretation of u, from your point of view lo! we e.rn not an gelic, seraphic, but individual. In ar me! Why are you all so llloiilcal? We hnve been waiting for certain condi tions to prevail that we may marry. Poverty was our bug-bear; you have been hnlf-killing yourself to swell your bank account to respectable pro portions, as you term it, that we may not be followed by that silent subtle serpent of life that atenlthily follows from place t'o place, seeking to poison one in tome vital spot that hug-bear poverty. Now we or I at least" she hastily corrected herself "hnve a suf ficiency. Fortune or fate brings us together once more, and when I hnve the pleasure of tellirug you of our my good fortune, you talk of 'atntlon.' " During this Impetuous speech, Blake hnd time to think that he was not quite the hero of this little trat-edyj the heroine bad the middle of the stage. "Grace, I beg your pardon," f a!d he, gently. "True, true, every v . d you say, but there Is a sequel.
