Blondelle drove ber nearly to distraction.
Observing tbat whenever she came, near

changed disguises with one of her guests,
and intimate Irlenils, Beatrix Pendleton, and ,
was thus enabled to watch ber hnsb':J aud ,

Sybil observed tbat a masker. re rout

watched Mrs. Blondelle as closely as sbe old ,
herself; and sbe subsequently bad occaslvii .
to remember and shudder at tbat I'nct.

them to attendants, placed for ibnl pinposa ,
to tbe right and left of tbe duot. Thus,
when, the company filled tbe room, every
luco was shown, but " Death" was nowhere ,

At last the party broke up. Only a P w
