CHATTKR III.
Oertawtj- Heme Bay was VanTry to he
recog-niwe. a. g-jat i,,lrl icive from
the outtnde world had tratjsforme.1 its
quiet sea-washed eJiore into aiTasliionaT.le
promena-le.
"w'ho is that creature ihi ihe crimson

"That's the Leopardi. How did yen

A laujfh was his 'htjfhnesa's safe and

the "creature" looked deucetl harubvme,
and so she did in 'her own loud ontr
fashion.

drew in her silken skirt and frathertid
them round her feet.
Yes. it was true, as the fashionable
magpie had said. Newen had iiaunted
her like her shadow ever since her ar
rival at the Dolphin a fortnight lefore.
He knew it, but he also felt that he had
nevertheless advanced not one step near
er to her real self, in spite of his lient ef
forts, in spite of walks and talks ajid ex
cursions into the country, and moonlit
converse on the pier, where the world
fathered to enjoy the coolness of the
nijrht hours, to the sound of dream-like
music, and Ftirrinj of plashing- wave".
He was looking nay, peering into her
face, trying to read in her calm bine eyes
the expression he had so earnestly tried
to call forth, but in vain.
He only so far could flatter himself she
was his friend, and that in a most aggra
ratinglv frank fashion. Platutiics are
very unpalatable to a lover, and sin-h. un
doubtedly, was Newen.
Yes; from that first evening, that first
look from eye to eye, he had felt she was
his fate for weal or woe.
Now, however, he was not so sanguine.
Kither this I'leur de Marie had already
given her love to another, or else she was
a most finished cocpiette, only feigning in-dilT-i-ence
to fa.n the flame of his jiassion.
He would not own to himself that iie
might lie every way froe and yet refuse
him. Such a thought hurt his pride. Any
how, he was detoriuined to put an end to
the uncertainty on the first opportunity.
He longed to throw himself at her feet.
"All the world seems here, and I know
no one," said Fleur de Marie, turning her
face towards the gay-eoloresi moving
mass, ebbing and flowing like a human
title on the f-and below for they were
now standing on the promenade.
Why, here is one of your friends com
ing down from the cliff. he replied,
catching s!ght of Lorita, surrounded as
usual by a lody-guaid, with whom she
was laughing and talking noisily while
she descended the sloje, using her para
sol as a walking stick.
-She is no friend of mine. Sir. Newen."
There w.-is no scorn or malice in the tone,
onlv, perhaps, a shade of sadness, for
which her cavalier could not account.
-Can you say as much for her compan
ion, mademoiselle ?"
The words had scarcely left his lips
when he regretted his Sjieech. "She will
think me imiiertinent," be thought, and
so she evidoutly did. He saw her sweet
face flush from brow to chin at his words,
then she turned to him and replied
quietly :
-I shall cancel that remark of yours
from my memory,. It's unworthy of yon,
Mr. Newen. Come, Miss Hurst, it is past
one o'clock; the band has ceased playing,
and it is hot. Let us go back to lunch."
There was nothing for Newen to do but
to raise his hat and drop behind. As he
did fo. the Leoiardi and her party passed
the little group, looking Imr.k over her
shoulder with a smile of unmistakable
meaning, and a glnnce at Newen out of
her lJd black eyes which heightened her
rival's color.
There were half-a-dozen men with this
woman, but one walked by her side, car
ried her gloves ami handkerchief, and
ji.-emed to engross all her attention.
Only this one did I'leur de Marie no
tice. Hie face was turned away, but bhe
felt that he had seen her as he went Iiy,
and the blight flush faded front her
riiet-ks. leaving her very pale.
Lorita I.eoputdi hail Ix-en forced to

'deTvlarie.
IFehad half a mbiud'to fr. liack and
speak to her, for on 'his itmnost heart,
tew ugh ierhaps he: hardly' k-new it then,
fee still felt there was no vwanan in the
wNrld like his tild 5ve aial girl-comrad",
"Jiysie O'Farrell.
How beautiful ri&e was.'fair as a lily
. as pure, and awie-r-areil for him for
kirn, debased, fahse. course, given up as
he was to every vice itiat ever sent a
cnau'a evuj bp jx-rditiou. She cared for
liim aye.. n now. heiinew he had on
ly to go back and a'k to lie forgiven, and
idie would smile that ift, slow, wonder
ful smile, and grant ihin.ttlie token of for
giveness. He had only tgi1j:tk but ah, that
wns the rub. The -"on!ys are often aa
difficult to get oven- t death in this
world. Only to go lonck to bid good-bye
' to this black-browed flb-.-anty by his side,
and yet he could ntt.
She held him in Ixmliige. twisted him
round her finger. pii! ber own tune to
which be must dafsr gierforee, kept him
alout her like any sjianiel, to fetch and
carry; now jiettod him, now neglected.
Yes, held in liotidagu Ir- the .wer of her
beauty, such as it wnt.
He was no more U lier than fifty others
who carried her fan, -"atoHl" her suppers,
thiew her bmiciutdm gave her gold, and
yet when tdie would, tlie could cajole him
into the ln-Iief that while she accented
gifts and gold from otlstrs, from him she
took onlv love.
And Fleur de Marie, swert Mysie
O'l-'arrell, was all his wn, as true as
death, and as pure as mi gels. And yet
yet what ?
Oue by one Lorita's followers had drop
ped away in despair of getting a word or
a look, while (Jabriel mnopolized her at
tention. At the door of the lKOphin they
came to a standstill. His rooms were at
the Brunswick.
She looked at him. tappsxg her foot j-t-ulantly
on the stone steps.
"1 f you want to lunch eaith iue, can't
you nay sot Dut I don't 4hink I want
you. You are stupid and dull to-day, and
why is itf Yon can le so brilliant when
you choose. I like to l amused, so, as
you have lost your tongue, go and buy

good Imy I like to read while I am eat

"Then may I stay when I return V
"Well, we'll Bee j depends oa the lik
you bring. Mind, it must lie chock full
of fun. I like to be kept on tbe broad
grin. Cto on," and he playfully dealt
htrn no gentle blow on the knuckled of his
itstretched hand with her parasnl.
If you send me aliout my l.-usiness
wh-n I do come buck. I hhull take the
lx k with me, mind."
"All right, wait and see. We'll square
matters when you bring the book. Don't
1 hing." and she turned into the hotel.
CWAPTKR IV.
Life in the busy little bay was like a
fashionable scrap-lxk all through those
memorable months of July and August
sketches, portraits, finished pictures,
woodland scenes, "bits" of shore and
Imats. with a changing sky overhead,
each page a contrast to the last.
Hern Hay was keeping carnival, only
at the wrong time of the year.
In the shadow of the cliffs tots a woman,
and at her feet lies a man with a sun
burnt, handsome face that rents on folded
h. tids ami is upturned tej hers with a
look she could not help understanding,
were not her ey es on the water instead of
on him.
His elliw8 are sinking deeper into the
shingle, and his six-feet long In.ly in
stretched at its length, as near to her
chair as he dare approach.
He is thinking bow pretty she is, and
wondering what she sees in those endless
waves to bring that wistful expression to
her pretty eyes and that sudden quiver
to the parted lips. And she oh, sad to
tell! has for the moment forgotten his
existence, which accounts for the start
that recalls her to present company as he
fjienks.
"Have you quite made up your mind to
go back to town to-morrow 1" he asks, as
a pn-lud to what he means to lead up to
a proposal.
"Yes, indeed." was the reply. "I have
taken a very long holiday nearly six
weeks. Here we are ir. September. I
must begin work again at once, or I shall
te getting into Mr. lire vet's black books,
not to spe.-ik of Signor Urunelti. I have
mnch to do liefore the winter season com
mences." There is a pause. He finds conversa
tion an uphill affair to-day.
Do you care for the life you lead!
That sounds rather an impertinent qnep
tion, but I hope we are friends enough to
allow of something lieyond Conventionali
ties Iietween ns. I know most women
would declare themselves more than con
tont with your brilliant present and pros
pects, and, certainly, the career of a
prinii tltmiin is enviable in a way; it must
lie jmrndise to a small material mind set
cm vanity in all its forms. But you are
not like any other woman I have ever
met. You are not vain, y ou are not a
lover of luxnries. the worsliip which waits
to make you its obj.i-f does not turn your
head. You can see London at your fi-et
and yet remain calm."
"Oh, you do not know me. Captain New
en. I do h-art ily enjoy my success, nnd
I do not think I could, of my. own free;
will, nlmu.loii the cain-r of a singer for
anything under the sun." r"plies Fleur
de Marie candidly, smiling dow n calmly
into his upturned face in which there is
so much for her eyes to read if she could.
"No." she repeats softly, at if some
question within Jier lmd risen to confront
"lMn-2-jiei d not luink 1 o!i leave

But her qnet blne'Cycs are looking out

She does not answer, only looks down
with heightened color at the place where
those letters were traced.
"I am glad to know that you are uot
free," her companion resumes, after a
long never-to-te-forgotten pause, "lie

secret hope of some diflerent reception in

Marie, with crimson cheeks and trouble

"You dil not contra-lict me just now,

"I am not bound to Gabriel. I am
nothing to him," she answered with a
strange quiver in her voice.
"But is he nothing to yout"
She turns and faces him with angry
eyes.
"What right have you how dare you

something nearer and more necessary

"I will. I xvili throw myself off that

"Hush! you v.il! go liecause you love

more miserable if you diil."
"You might luarn to love mo in tup

"Love is riot a lesson to lie learned, I
think. It is nn inspiration, a fate; it

"Unless it dies a violent death." puts in
her companion, for some instit-ct tells him
that is how it has Ih-cu with her.

trouble in the beautiful face, as she turns
and stretclws-out both of her hands, un
able to sjieak for sorrow that she lias
nothing to give, only a Hod-speed.
At last she says brokenly:

He holds her little white hand, that is
soft as a silken glove, for one moment in
his own broad, brown palm, lookingat it m
loving wonder, then he touched the blight
fingers with bis lijs. and left her with
one long, long look, but never a word.

towards the town, slowly, with steps tiiat

Once only, when be comes to the sum

woman who has just pronounced his ban
of exile, standing as he left her, with her
fair face seaward, leaning over the liack
of her twisted willow chair with its gay
colored cushions, while the fading sun
light falls on her dead-gold hair, and
touches the rare-cut crystals at her neck.
"I fancy , somehow, she w ill yet be my

CHAPTKR V.
A year had passed. The London sea
son was at its zenith. That turn in the
tide of fashion which brings the pleasure
boats back to town laden with loveliness,
talent, and wealth, bad set in with sun
shine of the brightest. London lay lmsk
ing lazily in the sweet air of June, with
pleasure at her head, and poverty at her
feet.
All the outlets of trniety are thrown
open. On one of the June evenings, ier
hnps the lialmiest out of the thirty, the
Opera House at Covent Garden was
crowded from gallery to pit with an en
thusiastic and exjiectsnt audience. The
playbills, fluttering from hand to hand,
announced a powerful caste for the jxt
fornianee of "Aida," with Signora Leopar
di. Signor Gabriel, and Fleur de Marie in
the title r-yie.
The hum of voices grew still as by the
spell of a raised finger; tbe sea of moving
figures cease to sway to and fro; the or
chestra was silent.
Presently ttie music, broke forth once
more, as if impatient of control, and the
voice of a woman was bonte on fts swell
ing liosom, on waves of infinite sound,
Bow rising, now falling, now pathetic, now
passionate, till at last, dying away by de
gree, it left ujion the hearts of the hear
ers that burden of pleasurable pain
which is so strange a sensation, and can
only find expression in a quivering sigh.
The short interval of silence was fol
lowed by such a burst of applause as is
not often heard. The public literally
brought the house down with their ve
hement cries of "Fleur de Marie! Fleur
do Marie!"
Never had her voice sounded so spir
itual, and yet so sad. It was as if each
note were a spoken tear.
She was, however, not listening to the
roar of many voices, or the hurricane of
clapping hands. She did not heed the
flowers that fell at her sandaled feet.
She felt as one walking in a dream. She
only t bought :
"What din's it all avail, since he loves
roe no losigerf What is fame to me. since
I fail to li-ok fair in his eyest Oh, Gal
riel. Gabriel, one hedgerow w ild blossom
thrown by your band at this moment
Would mean more to me than the rftltest
and rarest of these exotics, which are
cast, after all, to my voice, and not to me."
She knew where be w as. and how he
was looking at her n- one l,.-iks at tho
Venus de M -dici or any other fainoui- bit
of lieanty, critically and ca-ually. Siie
nawall this fioin under hr droojiing
eyelids, as she fjto.nl enduring the world's
applause. Ib- was leaning against a side,
scene, whispering and laughing with tho
Leopardi, with jtsinn in his dusky eyes,
and a rose lietween his teeth. He was
toying idly with if as he had trirte(t with
her. Presently he would cast it aside,
withered and brnised.
This woman, her rival, had won him in
the lottery of life as one wins a gold heap
at a game of canls. Tin-rein lay her
triumph. -
Fleur le Marie i,nssed out. foHoWeil .y ,
tnen in the opera's livery, laden w il b tbe -flowers
th" world had ttiven.her. f'rie
an.-' rf -L- i arl:. G..I xV "Gal : i- !.
Leojiardi!" He led her on the stage, bow
ir.g right and left.
""He shares his success with her and
it with me," cried Fleur de Marie, aa
abe closed the door of her dressing-room
and threw herself into a chair, while fan
-and flowers dropjied to the ground.
"I see how it is' He loves me no longer.
It is useless nay.it is breaking my heart
to go on like this. There is no hope for
tne now, because she bas won him. How
cruel she is! Cvuld she not le content
with half London at her feet? She does
not care for anyone save herself and I
have only this one to love. I will go
right away! I cannot endure to aee him
daily, to sing with him nightly, and lie no
more to him than the dancing-girl in the
ballet. 1 will go right away. All this
fretting will injure my voice, and then I
shall starve. I cannot see another, and
one sounwortliy. spoil Gabriel's: life, blight
his fame, aa she will, assuredly she will.
How cruel she is! but oh. 1 wish Gabriel
might come back tome as in those dear
old days. What has fame given me after
allf Only a heartache and a few flowers;"
and with these thoughts Mysie O'Farrell
gathered her wraps aNmt her, and swept
down the stej to her brougham, which
was waiting in the midst of a crowd to :
liear her to her home. !
.
The afternoon was drawing to a close, i
It was barely four o'clock, but the streets
were dark, and the lams were lighted.
At one of the lower front windows of a
house in Warrington-crescent sat a wo
man in a black silk dress, with a face ,
most disconsolate.
Certainly the outlook was dreary, and
the room in which she found herself was
weird with the flickering, fitful firelight.
She rose from her seat liehind the cur
tain, when the sounds of singing in the
Street arrested her attention she drew
up the Mind and peered out inlo the
street. She only saw a dirty, gaily
dresse.l pair of Iwggars standing by the
pavement, lioth little Savoy-arils, lirmtn
and handsome. Their vivaliat ion was
so atrocious that the listener mechanical
ly put her finger to her ear and winced
but still she remained where she stil,
for something in the sight of those two
eatfged, screaming children recalled old
days to her. She ojiencd the window anil
cast out a handful of roj .pers to thern.
The hoy crossed the street, hat in
hand, and the girl helped him to gather
them uji, Imwing and gesticulating their
thanks to the giver. Then the watcher
paw thern put their dusky heads together,
and count their earnings with smiling
faces.
"Ah. how happy they are! dirty, des
pised, homeless, often penniless, but how
happy! Just as I was once."
S:ie drew down the blind once more. As
si;-- did so t'ue servant entered. .-:u 'm - a
salver covered with a i-il" of letters.
Poor little Mysie O'F.-irr- 11! 1,-ss th in
live yenrs ago she was only a stray street
singer, and now each list brought peti
tions from half the oiera directors in Ku
rope and America, Ijegging her to give
them if only a couple of nights, with
pnwnises of fabulous remuneration.
She now took up the heap of letters
wearily. Suddenly she started, as her
eyes fell on a bold, untidy handwriting,
scrawled across a foreign envelope, which
liore the post-mark "Bombay."
"Ah!" she exclaimed, "he has not for
gotten. I fancied he would. But no; this
is the very day, Septemler 20th, be said
he would write.
She opened the letter, and hnrriedly
read its contents ; it was not long, but
characteristic.
Hi iTKt.. noHBIT. Aucru-t !

"What a strange letter." thought Mysie
with a laugh, "more like a business
trasactioii than a proposal. What shall
le my reply 1 Shall 1 answer it in per
son? Shall I quit the stage while yet I
am popular, and go out to India and mar

if I never saw his face or heard bis voice,
I might forget him. He never will love
tne again, that 1 know. I will have a
long think over it all" and an hour
passed. At last she drew her writing
table towards h"r. and wrote as follows:
