In the dim corners of Lady Arling ton's bie dra wine-room iu tirosvenor place rosc-shaded lamps were castiue a tender plow, but near the three tall windows and in the center of the room there was still sufficient day lieht to illuminate the faces and frocks of the euests wtm wore assembled for dinner. Lady Arlinpton. clad in shimmering white satin and wonderful pink pearls, flitted like a spirit from proup to proup: now prectiiip a fresh arrival, now pairing olT her friends. "Lady Susan, l.rtl MarraLle will take you down. He's awfully dull. I know, but Itertie Fancourt is your other side. Sir Charles, you're des tined to the tender mercies of Holly Lansdown. Take care of yourself; she's a dreadful little liirt. an.l lmasts of lu-r victims. Ah! livia, I'm de lighted to see you. ("ol. LVcrtoti. take care of my friend.

Olivia, my ilear. if in five minutes lie does not turn up I'm afraid you'll have to po downstairs alone." And with a pay little lauph La.ly Arlinpton turned away. Mrs. Abinpcr smiled after her re treatinp tipnre, and Col. L'ecrtoii. catchinp sipht of her si iphtly-curle.l inout h. thoiipht she ha. 1 the sweetest lips he had ever seen, and so thiiikinp, he ItKke.l the closer. He saw a slender woman, with a shapely head set upon a round, white throat. The low-cut bodice of her plain black pown clased a sliplit waist and made a littinp framework for her dimpled shoulders. Her hip black fan seemed all too heavy for her tiny wrists and small p:.nk-t:pjed tin pcrs. In the fast-fa.iinp liirhl he could scarcely ilistinpitish her feat tires, but he noticed that lu-r hair was soft and fair, and that her eyes were larpe and just a little sad. The pallaut colonel was still won derinp what kind of a voice so eliarm inp a woman could have, when the door was lliinp wi.le and a tall man strode into the room. Lady Arlinpton heaved an audible siph of relief, waved rather than spoke an introduc tion between Mrs. Abinpcr and the newcomer, and then, like a multi colored snake, lu-r puests rustled down the wide w hite staircase to dinner. There was a momentary drappinp of -.ilkcn trains under chairs an.l a pen-.-ral settl inp down ln-fore the last ar rival turned to scan the woman at his side, whom in the swift transit from the drawinp-rooui to the d i I. inr-rooni lie had only vapuely concluded was slipht. and pretty, and fair-haired. "Olivia: You?" His tone f aston ishment was t--o loud for po.nl breed inp. but the chat about the table was lively, and no one heard his voice save, indeed. Mrs. Abiiiper. "es, it is I. I knew you the mo ment you entered, thouph the room was almost iarn. "And yet we've not met for so many years." he said; then, with the pal laut after-thoupht of a man of the world, he added: "Not that you look one day older than when " She finished the sentence for him: "We parted.' There was a siph in her voice and a touch of pure sentiment in her sad eyes as she spoke, and recalled, as women love to do, the apony of that hour, fifteen years apo. which hail torn her from Anpus l errers" arms. She h;nl lee n so younp then little more than a child but her whole soul had Ik-cu piven to her Imyish lover, and the parental edict which had sent Anpus to India and herself to a wretched marriape had nearly broken her heart. Hut the dream of the past was dis pelled by him who had recalled it. "And y..u married?'" he said. "Yes; I was obliped. Mr. Abinper was rich iu those days, and he boupht me." "In those days! Is he not so now? "He died two years apo. a pauper." Mrs. Abinper spoke quietly. She had lived so L.np w ith the trapedy of existence that it had lost its most jvoipnant thrills, and had depenerated into a pray monotony of misery. No so Sir Anpus l errers. A look of unutterable pity crept into his eyes, a note of intense sympathy into his voice. "And you are " "A widow, and a pauper, too." She made a little pesture with her small, white hands: a pesture that in vited inspection of her poor pown. of her lack of jewels- and that told more plainly than could a thousand words of peiiteel poverty and want. "Mv poor Olivia." he said, and as she plaucetl at him she saw tears on his eye lashes. Lady Arlinpton prumbled next dav to her Husband of Mrs. Abinper s dull ness an.l Sir Anpus Ferrers' silence. Hut that lonp dinner was, in truth, nothinp but a dream to the man and woman who had parted with such passionate tears fifteen years apo. ami had met once apain so unexpectedly. Yet, thouph both dreamed, their visions were so different. He, rich, titled, still in the prime of manhood, was absorled in the dead past. If he had been firm, if he had married Olivia, how much unhappiness he mipht have saved her, how much eace it would have broupht to him self. And Olivia dreamed only of a future with the man whose imape hat! Ieen ever in her heart, of a time of love and joy. and freedom from sordid money troubles, and shabby frocks anil somi penteel 1 nlpinps. And so, except when now ami then they exchanped some conventional phrase, there was silence lietween the two who had so much to say. After dinner it seemed perfectly nat ural to Olivia Abinper tiiat sir Anpus Ferrers should seek her, and. in deed, she had chosen a quiet corner behind one of the tall, rosc-shaded lamns for their conversation. It was she who talked the most; tell inp him of her prcat trials and disap pointment;, dwelling- on them with the insistence of one w ho is driftinp towards happier thinps. He sat anil listened, and as he listened looked: and as he looked was conscious of a vapue thankfulness that he, still a Vottnp man, was Ik.uihI by no chain to the worn a u who sat before him. He tried not to see the lines alxuit her larpe, dark eyes, the ilrappe.l har,lnes that marred the sweetness, of lu-r mouth. He knew instinctively that her heart and her love were as fresli as the first day they were piven to him. but for the life of him he could not repress a puilty thankfulness that she was only an old friend. l'y and by he rose to po. but held her hand ionp in takinp leave. "Now that we have met apain, Olivia, we must not lose sipht of one. another. W hen may I come aud sc-ci you?'" She looked into his eyes and a happy smile curved the Corners of her lips. "Whenever you please, Anpus. Will you come to-morrow?" And he Im.wc.1 low and left her Ice land the plowinp lamp, her heart leatinp hiph in her lisom with th surety that to-morrow he would sjwak and ask her to Im- Lis wife. La.ly Arlinpton's voice roused her. "Olivia, come out of your hitlinp place at once. I want you to eome to Hurlinpliam next Saturday. Will you?" Olivia smiled a "yes," thinking- w hat would any plans matter now. After tn-iiinrrnw her life would be Anpus" to do with as he would. M.st likely he would want her to po to some quiet river place, where they could In-alone. In happy, dreamful silence she drift ed across the preat drawinp-room to ward the proup pathered about Ln.lv Arlinptor. who was chatting volubly to half a dozen women at once. "W hat did you think of Mira IU-rt-ram's hair? She changes the color every month. I declare. Lady Susan was quite an pry alout it; but then, you know, she thinks it quite indecent to touch up at all. I was so awfully vexed, by the way. that La.ly Ferrers couldn't come. She's quite pretty, and her gowns all fresh, of course, f. r she's only a bride are so very smart." "Lady Ferrers! Is Sir Anpus mar rk d?" ( !ivia Abinper did not know whether she or another asked the question. She only waited for the answer. "Oh, yes: six weeks apo. She's such a dear little thinp. and so nice. Her father's place matches with his own in. Scotland." Olivia Abinpcr did not cry out or faint, thouph the shatterinp of her dream and the breaking of her heart w ere !eyond all m rtal apony. she sa -i: "tjood nipht." and drove in a fr.w-v four-wheeler to her shabby lodpinps. Still silent, still en.lurinp, she went upstairs to her little sittinp-pooui; but when she had lit the pas it llare.l uttoit a face marked by the anguish of a life time. She st.xwl by the table, her hands hanging at her sides, her eyes, w hich coul. 1 not weep, startup In'fore her. "Married" rich' liappy: While I, who have hoped and longed and loved, am" she flung her white arms alxtvc her head, and a preat cry rent her throat a cry of all a n-nman's pent-lip passion, of all a heart's bitter disappoint ment. "It is too much," she cried aloud to the shabby walls and cheap furniture; "I cannot bear it. To-nipht 1 have dreamed of other thinps. I cannot po back to the old ways. My heart ii dead within me dead." She paused; a pray shadow stole over her drawn face, a iukiiUt tire burned in her eyes. For a moment she disap peared into her tcd room, then returned to w here the pas flared. She looked about her and. w ith the careful method of a poor woman, picked up her cloak from the fl.M.r and folded it away on a chair. Then she lowered the pas to the blue and flung op.-n the w indow. "'1 want my soul to Ik. free to po to him if il can." she murmured, leanitip out over the street. "This will ltu l.M.se my bonds and bring me peace and rest, and. ji-erhaps, a little siph of regret from him." With cold white linpers, that yet did not tremble at their task, she drew the stopper from a tiny phial she held in her hand. A thick, sweet odor as of almond flowers floated throtiph the rMim. It dominated the faint jn-r-fume that breathed from Olivia's gown and fair hair, and even tainted with its insidious savor the outer air. ith dilated nostrils she caupht the subtle scent and smiled a little. "Peace ami regret an.l remembrance," she sighed, then raising her hand to her lips, with one movement of her slender throat she swallowed the few drops of 1 i-.j-ai.l contained in the small blue bottle. Her hand dropped heavily on the win dowsill and her linpers relaxed. The tinkle of fallen plass rose from the pavement below. She fell upon her knees In'fore the open window and raised her ashen face to the star-lit heavens. IK-r finpers twitched in apony alove her burstinp heart; her pale lips strup pled to cry but once to the man w ho, for the second time, had plunged her into the darkness of despair. Hut only a whisper came from her burning throat and poor, twisted mouth. "Angus my love pray for me re ntomU'r me sometime. Her head fell forw ard on the w in dowsill. They found her dead at dawn.
