I N DELIRIUM. 1)Y M, K. IIOI.AUAM. The grand, public ball is under full sway. Several couples representing tho wealth and aristocracy of Conhaim have to-night thrown nsldc their exclusive grandeur to mingle with the crowd. But this select "set" leave a distinct space between thorn and the gay assembly, among whom arc many of their own em ployes, during tho rests in dancing. A lady and gentleman alt apart to criti cise the crowd. They never oven pause when another couple, flushed and beautiful with dancing, pause beside them, and find feats In a little window recess close by. 'iriiat a perfect couple Mauds and lhat tall, dark man wlthCvhom she Is dancing, make?'' remarks the fashionable lady, in a languid, ailcctcd voice, while she arranges her gold-rimmed glasses. "Physically yes. Morally" "Nonsense. Vou speak as If la belle possessed a soul or conscience. I.ilco a soap-bubble," with n faint, stinging laugh, "she Is a lovely, brilliant delusion. Do you know who the tall, dark gentleman is, Mr. Capaton? Ue Is very distinguished looking," . "Which comes from aping tho airs of his betters, perhaps" pulling his own scant mustache modestly. "He Is a cashier In the bank of Newton & Son, whero I do my financial transactions, Miss Wortliington. Presumptuous kind of fellow, named Kr mondo, I bnlieye." "Ah, Indeed! I have heard Maudo speak of her 'church-mouse' conquest. Sho says he Is a perfect Lancelot, and 'great sport.' But she nays ho is engaged to some, pretty shop-girl, else she would not dare lo trlflo with him," "Indeed! 'haughtily. "I don't know anything about tho fellow, and can't ad- tulro Miss Kdgeivorth's tasto. I really think these public dances are vulgar; do not you, Miss H orthHigton? If I woio a lady" i "Whataboie you would be to the gen tlcincn then, Mr. Capetou, and what an eye jou would have for the 'main chance!' Maudo is beckoning. Please take mo to her." "H'hat an egotistical old fool Capetcn Is!" laughs the man In the window recess, as they flutter away. "And Sadc K'orth Ing'.on Is a malicious old maid!" "VYby, eho'li your cousin, llr. Newt011" exclaimed tho gill, n protf r young creature in white cashmere, whoso dark eyes had long ago captivated Arthur Newtou's heart when he first met her in his father's trade palace, where she was employed. "Treas on against your own 'kin !" "Then you don't mind what one said about Erniondcf' ulng at her with pas slonate, admiring eyes. Her soft color came and went. Sho did mind very much, Ho was her betrothed husband, and all eveulng he had been shamefully negligent of the fact. Norah Gray was proud of her self-control always. It did not desert her now, and she laughed lu low, rippling amusement. Arthur Newton was a man of honor; yet in that moment he foigot everything save the lovely young gill, whose beauty mad dened his soul whesa careless frankness was hut a spur lo his great passion. "Norah," he whlsperod madly, catching ber soft hands In bis, aud drawing her to his heart. "Oh, my darling, my lover Forgive toe! I am mad! I" Then tbs curtain was swiftly drawn Mldsiysome one leeklng a st, and tmi strange tabi.au rayMied. X laomsnt UUr and Norah's nm wua uavs Mm Mtt. u 6 sr. She would have repulsed her companion, i and he would have begged a thousand par ! dons, pei haps; but now , The poor girl shrank back from thu sev- eral curious eyes condemning her. and ! coyercd her white face! with two shaking I hands, ! Arthur turned defiantly upon the Intrud- ers, but the curtain had Instantly droplet'. If only ho might liavo told them she was j his promised wife, and saved her from cot'- stiro by the protecting wgls ot his name and love. "Forgive me," her groaned hoarsely. "Norah, believe mo" Sho turned uuon him her lovels Hashing eyes In withering scorn. "I will never forglvo jou never! You did It purposely. Now that you have blighted my life, 1 houe you are satlslM." irith just thai stinging contempt, and the disdain of a young queen, sho opened j the window and disappeared In tlyi frosly, November night, mad with pain and shame. Next day came a cool. contemptuous note from Walter Ermomlc. begging her or rath- or commanding her to release him. 'After the discovery of last night," he wrotc'-your sense, of delicacy will pcrceivo how Impossible It Is that our engagement should go on." With burning, feverish cheeks Noiah wrapped tho cowatdly missive around her engagement ring, and ruturned both to him without a word. Allhcrprldo tose in aims. It was her mother who wept at this sad blight on her only child's name, forali rront about her usual duties witli more proudly crested head and brilliant oyes. There was nothing of the sad, humbled miscreant lu the vroud, beautiful girl who several times passed Waltor Erraonde, and Maude tdgoworth, the gay, fashionable butter-fly, out riding together. Norah's heart cried out with passionate yearning, but not for this man who had so gladly and lightly resigned her, but for the old faith, tho beautiful dream foreyor dis pelled. Spurred on by malicious, envious tongues the scandal grew lo hngo proportlons.vllely distorted. If ever Norah ylcldod to griof It was In the privacy of her own room. Ucr suppressed agony was horrible. At times It seemed unbearable, and the paling face of her mother almost drove the poor girl wild. Sometimes, coming upon her suddenly. sho found tho dim eyes red with weeping, or her mother on het knets. seeking solace In prayer. No less than thu girl, wronged by his madness, did the wealthy joung aristocrat suffer. All in his power was dono to stein the title of scandal, bat his assertions and threats wete useless as pebbles to hold the ebbing tide. If onl) ho might see and plead with Norah. Gladly, indeed, would 'he have made her his wlfo, but she sternly refused to see him. Whenever ho called, It was her mother who met him with leproachful eyes. j One cold, gray afternoon Norah was was called Into the pompous proprietor's ofllce, and requested to resign, as tho other shopgirls refused to remain If sho did. She knew then what that meant. Discharged here, whero else could she secure employment? What would become of hersnlf and wid owed mother? Her head was bent In bitter thought as she walked quickly against tho rough, bit ing wind. Suddenly a guy laugh mado her glance swiftly up, Just as a spirited team dashed by. Nestling among the warm furs was a party of four, among them Walter Er- moude, and the woman who still held him in her spell A sudden, kharp pain crossed Norah's eyes. The agony and resentment lu her heart made her step unsteady an instant. The world swam around and round in a mocking whirl. She would hare fallen had not a strong arm reached out ami steadied her. Before fclio fully realized It, she was walking along the payemont, leaning on Arthur New ton's arm, while the wild wind whistled around them both. H'lien she did rualizo with whom sho was walking, by whom protected, she sprung from lit m as If ho had been adder instead of a tall, handsome young fellow, richly wrapped In sealskiu, and looking down upon ber with sad, passionate eyes.

Soon he esptscd her standing on a cliff, the ltd wind blowing her garments tn riotous glee. "Waller," she whispered, tottering toward the tall, straight figure with out stretched hnttis. "1 I knew you Mould come back back 'o me some lime." With that she swooned In his arms. "It Is always him that cur," muttered Arthur, as hu noro her swiftly home press ed close against his heart. w "I where am I'.' wherr haye I been? exclaimed Norah.

"Thwy never will be, darling, Maudo Edgcworth Is engaged to marry that brainless idiot, Capeton, who ba fallen In to a lucky speculation somehow. Ermondo lias gone io Canada." That was all ho told her, then; but when tbe j'ouug millionaire's lovely young wife was able to go out, and she heard how Walter Kruionde had gone a dishonored embezzler, having robbod tho bank of ber husband when Maude Edgeuorth tired of her amusement.
