EATJ NASH stood at tho door of tho rooms, amil ing blandly upon a dainty throng in tho pink of (ta finery and gay furbelows. Tho groat oxquisito bont his body constantly in a series of consummately ad justed bows beforo n great dowagor, Booming to sweep tho floor in august doforonco; somewhat Rtatoly to tho young bucks; greeting tho wits with gracious friendliness mid n twinklo of raillery; inclining with fatherly gallantry beforo tho beauties; tho degrco of hia inclination measured tho altitude of tho recipient as accurately na a nicoly calculated sand glass measures tho hours. Tho king of Bath was happy, for wit, beauty, fashion to speak moro concretely, nobloH, hollon, gamontort, bonux, statesman and poets mado fairyland (or opora Lou (To, nt Ionat) in his dominions; play ran higher and higher, and Air. Nash's coffers filled up with gold. To crown his pleasure, a princo of tho Fronch blood, tho young Cointo do Bcaujolais, just arrived from Paris, had reached Bath at noon in state, accompanied tho Marquis do Miropoix, tho ambassador of Louts XV. Tho beau dearly prized tho socioty of tho lofty, and tho present visit was an honor to Bath ; honco to tho master of ceremonies. What was bottor, thoro would bo sonio profitablo houra with tho cards and dice. So it was that Mr. Nash smiled never moro benignly than on that bright evening. Tho rooms rang with tho silvery voices of women and dolightful laughtor whilo tho fiddles wont merrily, their melodies chiming sweetly with tho joyanco of his mood. Tho skill mid brazon effrontery of tho ambassador's scoundrolly aorvaut in passing himsolf ofT for a man of condition formed tho point without presuming upon tho privilcgo of his rank to laugh at tho in dfgnation of society; an action tho moro praiseworthy because hit exposure of tho impostor entailed tho disclosuro of his own culpability in having stood tho villain's sponsor. Tonight, tho happy gentleman, with Lady Mary Carlislo upon his arm, went grandly about tho rooms, sowing and reaping a harvest of smiles. 'Twas said work would be begun at onco to rebuild tho duko'a countryseat, whilo sot cral ruined Jowa might bo paid out of prison. Pcoplo gazing on tho beauty and tho atatobut modest horo by hor Bido said they would mako a noblo pair. Sho had long been distinguished by hia attentions, and ho had como brilliantly out of tho cpisodo of tho Frenchman, who had been hia only real rival. Wherever they went thero aroso a buzz of pleasing gossip and adulation. Mr. Nosh, scoing thorn near him, camo forward with greetings. A word on tho sido passed between tho nobleman and tho oxquisito. "I had nowa of tho rascal tonight," whispered Nash. "Ho lay at A farm till yesterday, when ho disappeared ; his ruffians too." "You havo arranged?" asked tho duko. "Fourteen bailiffs aro watching without Ho could not come within gunshot. If thoy clap oyes on him, thoy will hustlo him to jail, and hia cutthroata Bhall not avail him a hair's weight. Tho impor tinont aworo ho'd bo horo by 0, did ho !" "Ho said bo, and 'tis a rash dog, sir." "It ia just 0 now." "Sond out to seo if thoy havo taken him." "Gladly." Tho beau beckoned an attendant and whispered in his car. Many of tho crowd had edged up to tho two gonticmen with ap parent carelessness, to overhear their conversation. Thoso who did ovorhcar repeated it n covert asides, and this circulating undcrtono, confirming a vaguo rumor that Bcaucairo would attempt tho ontranco that night, lent a plcasurablo color of excitement to tho evening. Tho Fronch princo, tho ambassador and their suits wcro announced. Po lito as tho assembly was, it was also curious, and thoro occurred a mannerly rush to bco tho newcomers. Lady Mary, already palo, grow whiter aa tho throng closed round hor. Sho looked up pathetically at tho duko, who lost no timo in extricating hor from tho pressure "Wait horo," ho said. "I will foteh you a glass of negus," and dis appeared. Ho had not thought to bring a chair, and she, looking about with an increasing faintness and finding none, saw that sho was standing by tho door of a small sido room. Tho crowd swerved back for tho passago of tho legato of Franco, and pressed upon hor. Sho oponcd tho door and wont in. Tho room waa empty save for two gonticmen, who wcro quietly playing cards at a tablo. Thoy looked up aa sho ontorcd. Thoy woro M. Bcaticairo and Mr. Molynoux. Sho uttered n quick cry and leaned 'against tho wall, hor hand to hor breast. Bcaucairo, though whito and weak, had brought hor a chair beforo Molynoux could stir. "Madcmoisollo" "Do not touch mo 1" alio said, with such frozen nbhorronco in hor voico that ho stopped short. "Mr. Molynoux, you ncok atrango com panyl" "Madam," replied Molynoux, bowing dcoply, as much to Bcau cairo as to horsolf, "I am honored by tho presenco of both of you." "Oh, aro you mad I" sho oxclaimcd contemptuously. "This gentleman has oxaltcd mo with his confidence, madam," bo roplicd. "Will you add your ruin to tho scandal of this fellow's presenco horo f How ho obtained ontranco" "Pardon, madomoisollo," interrupted Bcaucairo. "Did I not say I should como? M. Molynoux was so obliging as to answer for mo to tho fourteen fricn's of M. do Wintorsct and Mccstairo Nash." "Do you not know," sho turned vohomontly upon Molynoux, "that ho will be romovod tho moment I lcavo this room ? Do you wish to be dragged out with him ? For your sako, sir, becauso I havo always thought you a man of heart, I givo you a chanco to savo yoursolf from dtogritco and your companion from jail. Lot him slip out by some rotircd way, and you may givo mo your arm and wo will ontor tho next room as if nothing had happened, Como, sir" "Madomoisollo" "Mr. Molynoux, I desiro to hear nothing from your companion. Had I not seen you ut curds with him I should havo supposed him in attendance as your lackoy. Do you desiro to tako advantago of my odor, sir?" "Madetnoiscllo, I could not toll you on that night" "You may inform your high born friend, Mr. Molynoux, that I heard everything ho had to say; that my prido onco had tho pleasure of listening to his high born confo&aion I" "Ah, it is gentle to taunt ono with his birth, madomoisollo f Ah, no I lnero is a man in my country who say strango tilings ox that that a man is not his father, but himsolf." "You may inform your friend, Mr. Molynoux, that he had a chanco to defend himself against accusation ; that ho said all" "That I did say all I could havo strength to say. Mademoiselle, you did not seo as it was right that I had beon stung by a big wasp. AN OFFICIAL DIRECTORY S. H. GREENE Attorney-nt-Lnw.
