It is now known that Mrs. Hungerford is Irish, with more than an ordinary proportion of wit and imagination. Her "Wild Irish Girls," it has been remarked, are capital company. The books by Mrs. Hungerford owe their popularity to their freshness, brightness, lightness and other pleasureable characteristics, all of which are combined in the highest degree in LADY VERNER'S FLIGHT. The new story is a light, airy romance the style is sprightly, unaffected and energetic; the plpt contains just that amount of complexity to make its gradual development delightful; and the characters particularly the women are drawn with that mixture of realism and idealism which the great majority of readers prefer to the cold, hard matter-of-fact methods adopted by some writers of eminence. LADY VERNER'S PLIGHT Will reveal Mrs. Hungerford's powers to great advantage. The heroine always the most interesting character in a story is at once brought be fore the reader, and curiosity is aroused in her surroundings, ambi tions, hopes and fears.

OCTOBER 23. A LADY'S SHOE. Continued from yesterday. 1 I have forgotten what the play was; it wns probably one of the dull comedies that are now esteemed and edited because they are old. Many people were crowding into the bouse, ana in the vestibule stood Jack, who made a sign to his lady that all was well. Then he disappeared without being seen by the father he was hoodwinking. Tom was less fortunate. That is to say, the father did see him. He was also more for tunate, however, for he had a few moments' talk with Miss May. That lady ought not, ' perhaps, to have let Tom know that she was coming to the play to-night She was really Jack's now, or about to be, if the plot did not miscarry. But was it not natural that she should ieel sorry for Tom? That day she had sent him his letters he -used to slip them into her hands, and she kept them in a box besides Jack's letters, with an in timation that all was now over between them. She had also added that she was go ing to the play that night, and I suppose her reason for that injudicious act was that she looked forward to a delightfully sad parting with him. But Miss May had not quite understood Tom. In the crush at the theater she held out her hand the one further from her papa that Tom might squeeze it surreptitiously. Thus did she nope to break the blow. But frantic Ton) would have none of her hand. He stalked after her into the box, and in presence ot her father demanded an explanation. Miss Mar, who was al ready beginning to wish that she had never seen those lovely little bronze shoes they were hurting her so much wept at Tom's grief and admired him for his vehemence. As for the father, he was first amazed, sec ondly delighted, and thirdly afraid. It was pleasant to him to hear that his daughter was determined to be done with the youth, but disquieting to observe tha the whole house was listening to. Tom's declamation. Tom promising to lower his voice. caDa consented to leave the box for fire minutes 1 that the farewells might take place in privacy. In that five minutes the second last act of a tragedy 'was played in the back of the box. Tom announced tbat his prospects were now death by his own pistol. Miss May, in terror, "put her hands on his shoulders, and then, remembering Jack, withdrew them. She had promised Jack not to say a word of the conspiracy to Tom. bnt now it all came out At 9:30 a written notewas to be handed in to Miss May, pur porting to come from an aunt of hers who was in a box beneath. The note was to ask her and her papa to join the aunt Papa loathed the aunt, and was therefore certain to refuse; bnt he would let Miss May go. In the lobby she was to be joined by Jack, whisked into a carrlaee that was nlnnri waiting near the theater door, and borne off ju iuo uirecuon oi ureioa ureen. There was quite a chance of the runaways being 20 miles off before the chase began. "So farewell, Tom, dear Tom," said Miss May. But dear Tom. forgetting his prom ise to papa, began to stamp, calling her the most horrid names, and thus deligntine her. "You know how I could love you," she said, picking her tenses carefully. "But am I to blame if you are so poor?" 'Ton could wait for me. My pros "I can't wait. Tom: t?ood-bv. TTl.. m Tom, for the last time." ' "I won't Yon are a heartless coquette. May, if that carriage had been mine, would you have come'with me?" "I I don't know." Men should not distress women with such difficult questions. "Kiss me, Tom, for the last time." "I won't' Then, like a sensible man, Tom changed his mind, and kissed her passionately. "It is not for the last time," he said fiercely. "May, you lov me, and me alone and Jack shall not have you, he will not I have an idea; quick, tell me how I shall know Jack s carriage?" Miss May. wondering, hud Inet )i.fnn answer him. when papa reappeared. U.om departed, but not with the look of a hope less man on his face. -At for the younir ..,, wi ..catcu UCftT 1QH SO she naturally began dear Jack. to think lovingly of V. The rnse with the letter succeeded. Miss May was trembling a little when she left the box. Had her papa flung her a kind word just then she might have postponed the elopement; bnt he asked her grump- ' liy why she was looking at him so sentimentally, and, of course, after that she hesitated no longer. He little thought as the door closed on her that the next time they met she would be a married woman. Miss May always maintained afterward that from the moment when she left her latners box until she realized tbat she was in a carriage beside Jack, all was a blank to her. The theater attendant, however, who saw the carriage drive off, and described the scene subsequently to the infuriated father, declared that she was less agitated thau her lover. "I suppose Jack carried me down that dark side street to the carriage," was Miss May's surmise. "The gentleman was a little excited-like, but the lady she were wonderful cool," was the attendant's declaration. His story end ed thus: "They had started, when the lady she gave a scream, and the carriage stopped, and the gentleman he jumped out and looked for something in the street He got it, too, and then he jumps in beside her again, ana on iney go at a spanking rate. I don't know what it was; something she had dropped, most likely." To his dying day this man was denied the small pleasure of knowing what Jack jumped out of the carriage to pick up. It was one of the Bhoes. Miss May's feet haa been protesting so vigorously in the theater against further confinement in their narrow prison house that with one foot she had pressed the shoe half off the other. In the street the shoe fell off and Jack had to find it, for although in Scotland one may marry in a hurry one's feet must be properly shod. So Miss May thought then, but she was presently to discover that a pair of shoes are a convenient possession rather than in dispensable. Through the greater part of the night the carnage rolled northward, 'but at last an inn now, I believe, a private house was reached, where "they had to wait three hours for froth horiM, MJm May had a bedroom, but did not sleep a wink she said while the nervous Jack paced up and down in front; of the inn, listening for horses in pur suit, aud thinking he heard them every five minutes. ' If a man can be too gentlemanly, that man seems to have been Jack throughout his escapade. He sat on the seat opposite her. He paid her no compliments, he ad dressed her as Miss Gregory, which had not been his custom. Of course she admired this delicacy, but still , The iournev was resumed with earlv .light, and now, as they stepped once more into their carnage both of the runaways iuukcu iiaru ui one oi tne postilions, "Surely, you are not the man I engaged yesieraayv uacK saia to him. "No, my lord," answered the fellow com posedly, "he were took ill, and offered me his place. No offense intended, my lord. I have been on this here kind ot job be fore." "You have been to Gretna Green be fore?" "Uather." "You will do as well as another. Drive on." Miss May said nothing to the man, bat she thonght a great deal about .him. Despite his dark hair and sallow com plexion, despite his boorish manners she thought him like Tom. It was Tom in dis guise. He had bribed the real postilion, and here he was on his way to Scotland with the woman hb wanted to marry, but by no means certain how he was to get her. Within 20 miles of the border there is a" hillock which commands an extensive view. It is close to the high road, and many a man bonnd for Gretna Green has run up to it to see whether his pursuers were in sight Jack was oneof the number. He was not gone many minutes," but in the meantime Tom had found an opportunity of revealing himself to the lady. "May," he said, appearing so suddenly by her side that she screamed, "don't you know me? I am Tom. May, dearest, you said you would marry me if I could take yon to Scotland. I am doing it" "Oh, Tom," wailed Miss May all in a tremble as she said afterwards "I never made any such promise; I am to marry Jack." i "Never." cried Tom. "MV ilarllncr May " r "Tom. Tom." nM in,. -KToi, t..'..

He had seen Jack run ning back, "We are pursued," Jack said, as he drew near, panting, "by two men on horseback, and one of them, i am convinced, is your father." . The carriage rolled on more quickly now than ever, and for the next half hour Miss May thought little of which of her lovers she should marry. Her new fear was that she would not be able to marrv at all. Jack was as polite as ever. Certainly Tom had been less delicate. He had called her his darling, he had kissed her hand. He should not have taken these liberties, but till In vain were the jaded horses of the run away s whipped up. The pursuers gained on the carriagejuntil, when the latter was within half a mile ot the border, they were not 400 yards behind. "There is only once chance for us, May," said poor Jack, forgetting in his excitement, that she was not May, but Miss Gregory, "we must leave the carriage at the next turn of the road which hides us from view." "And be overtaken in a moment," cried Miss May, aghast "I hope not," said Jack. "Listen, dear, to what I propose. At the next tnrn I will stop the carriage and you will at once jump out with me. I will tell our fellows to drive on as fast as they can, and von and I will conceal onrselves until your father and his companion have galloped past They will pursue the carriage. In the meantime you and I will cross these fields to the village, whose lights I see plainly, and there the blacksmith will marry us." "They will overtake the carriage in a few minutes," the lady said, "and finding it empty, hurry on to Gretna Green. "Why, we shall find them waiting for us there," "We shall not," answered Jack trium phantly, with his head out of the window, "I see two roads before us, of which the one evidently leads to Gretna Green, and the other to the right I will tell our fellows to lake the latter,' that will give us a good start "And now for Gretna Green on foot," said Jack, giving Miss May his arm. They hurried on, butthe shoe. Miss May had this time no maid to help her, and I the shoe was but half on. She was sliding I her foot along tho ground rather than lift-J ing it By and bye, when they were not a hundred yards from the old tollhouse, which is just on the other side of the border, Miss May sank to the ground, crying, "I can go no further; I have lost one of my shoes." There was no time to look for the shoe in the twilight "Assist her to that cottage," said Jack to the supposed postilion, pointing to the toll house, "and I will hasten on to the village and bring the blacksmith BacK with me. Ask them to hide her if need be. You will be well paid." So saying Jack ran on, while Tom obeyed his injunctions to the letter. With Miss May's assistance he ex plained the position to the toll keeper, who grinned when he heard that the bridegroom was running to Gretna Green for the blacksmith. "Yon English," he sahl. "think 'that there is but one man in broad Scotland who can make a couple one in a hurry, and you call him the blacksmith, though he is no blacksmith at all. If your lover, honey, had stopped here I should have had yon spliced by this time," 'Is that true?" cried Tom, while Miss May stared. .. "I have married scores in my time," the old man answered, "why, I married half a dozen this week." "But is it legal?" asked May. The tollkeeper smiled. "Try it, honey," he suggested. . Then it was Tom's torn to speak. "May," he said in a tone of conviction, -inis is .rroviaentiai. uia gentleman, marry ns as quickly as yon can. Get your family as witnesses, if witnesses are neces sary." .The tollkeeper looked at the lady. "No, no," she said, "I promised Jack, Oh, Tom, how I wish there had been only one of yon." For half an hour did Miss May refuse to listen to what Tom called reason. Then she started up, for she was sure she heard the gallop of horses. "Tom," she cried. So she and Tota(were married. Jack and Mr. Gregory arrived at th tollhouse five minutes afterward, but it was all over by that time. that his grandfather had oome out of the affair victorious. "So your grandfather was Tom?" I said. "If, he replied coolly, "you thinK Tom was the victor." "Well, he got ber." "And Jack did not Bnt perhaps Jack was the luckier man of the two." "Then was Jack your grandfather?" "1 won't say. I leave it to you to de cide which was victorions, the one who got her or the one who lost her." "It must have been Tom. You told me tbat your grandfather's marriage was entirely arranged by a shoe." "Yes, I said so, but both of their mar riages were arranged by a shoe, for Jack subsequently married another lady, and, of course, it was the shoe that led to this marrying her instead of Miss May." "At least," I said, "tell me which of the two shoes this is." "That would be telling all," be replied, "for Tom retained possession of the shoe in which Miss May was married, and Jack found the other one next morning. To tell you which shoe this is would be to tell yoa which man was my grandfather. Can't yoa guess? I have told you he was the one who bad reason to be thankful that the lady be came Mrs. Tom.
