hardening of her onro sweet and gra

JoeeJyn departed, fielfng sore outside

"TO K IIONP.ST. AS VMM WORLD GOES."
Mr. Wallie Dinsniore hud been in
dulging in a good deal of casuistry of
late, owing to a desire to reconcile fiis
theory .that human beings ought tn hulp
ne iuiother with his UiitiH-raiiuDial
averwon to being mixed up in other peo
ple's affairs. He might have evailtMl t he
diJYIrutty by hmuling -over the mill er
which .troubled him to Mrs. Cadwalador;
but that would only have been an (mil.
fret 'Wav of forein Ws own hand. 3Ie
smoked n great nnmber-of cigars, settled
in his rindy chair, nnd incidentally tried
to stare Ins greiit white. owl out of oar. 11
teniuioc; bui. he bei-itiilcil htill.
One viorniug while tlitis occupied o
heard a carriage slop ut the door noS a
card was brought np to him. Contrary
to his .usual custom in such cases, liu
jumped up, tossed his cigar into the fire,
gave a pull to his collar and 11 jerk to
bis coat, and bade the wi-vant conduct
Mile. Mnrana npstnirt.
By th lime she Appeared ho had re-
covered his genial serenity. He shook 1
bands with her wilh the quiet cordiality
of a nuin-constuntly in the habit of recei v
ing famuns prime (Inline in his private
sitting room, nnd nt the same time gave
the servant a look which intimated that
be wonld 3e not at home while this vitdt
or remained.
"Yon came in good eeaon," said he:
"the owl And I have just .been talking
bout yoo"
"I did not ask for Mrs. Dtnsraore," be
gan the prima donna.
"Well, I taow," interposed Wallie. "I
have often tried to persuade iter that the
morning ia the proper time to receive
calls, but afce is still wedded to her
superstition. You must try to pat up
with me. I believe I should make a
fretty good aunt."
The lady felt the kindness with which
he endeavored to put her at her ease,
and a faint color dawned in ber cheeks.
Be went on: -
"I see by the papers that you are soon
to leave us. It must be pleasant to yon
to feel bow much respect and regard, as
well as renown, you have won since you
came here. I hope it may soon bring you
back to us?"
"Do you respect me, Mr. Dinsmore?"
demanded she, nzing ber eyes on hi in.
"You were an enigma to me at first,"
be replied immediately, "but I respected
you involuntarily, even before I knew
that I was right in doing so,"
He met her look as he spoke, nnd she
felt that he spoke what ho meant.
"I came to nsk you to help ine respect
rajr'ui-lf," she said, with u pause between.
(IimSElM---'
"Did you know that I was nn actress 11s
well ns n singer?"
"I knew what you refer to the first
moment we met," answered he, with a
friendly smile, "I had seen Mile. Ma
ntua abroad."
She did not need to ask him whether
he had kept her secret. Between per
sons of a certain order of integrity as
surances of such a kind are super II nous.
She breathed n sigh of relief. Ho had
known, and yet bad not withheld his re
spect, the res'ct of a gentleman. Her
sad heart began to take a little courage.
"I think I know your father. Mr. Ran
dolph," he resumed, with the slightest
accent of interrogation. "Yon must not
think me a Paul Pry, but Mr. Randolph
is a gentleman of the old school, not a
good dissimulator, mid he accidentally
betrayed himself to me one day without
knowing it. Perhaps 1 ought to have
confessed to him, but I mil a wretchedly
nndeciiled mortal about such things, nnd
t have been debating for the last month
what Iliad better do. More than a month:
in fact, ever since QeolTrey Bellingham
went away."
As he carelessly uttered the last
words his glance pnssed over her. She
did not move an eyelid. Her breath
stopped fora fewmoments. but that could
not lie seen.
"She has already learned some things,
poor girl!" thought Wallie to himself.
"Your main object in entering the pro
fession must be nearly achieved," he
presently continued, as she remained
silent.
"Yon think it was only the object
that justified me?" she said quickly.
"If I were you," he replied, "I would
be myself in the future."
"But can I sing any more?"
"Speaking for the public, I should say
sing on forever. You have gained a
footing from which nothing can dislodge
you. Yon nwd no other woman's repu
tation, and the public will easily forgive
you the nve you have put upon them:
indeed they have nothing to forgive."
"I would rather you found fault with
me than made it eusv fur me," she said,
with a tremor in her voice. "There is
no one els I can go to."
"I don't think yon need a -scolding,"
returned Wallie. with his kindly smile.
"The past is done with. I can imagine
you hare had an uphill time of it in
many ways. But you have gone far to
rehabilitate completely Mile. Marana's
character, and I should fancy she would
be very eut-tant to have it known that
she canuet claim the meritf the vindi
cation. Another season you would
prolwklf lie free from vulgar annoyance,
even were yon to continue your present
disguise but in your own name nnd with
the outside protection which it would
enable you to command yon would be
perfx5l,)T secure. However, 1 slia'n't pre
tend to advise you. Mademoiselle Miss
lfcuidolj-h. In the first jJnie 1 am an
interested party I want you to go on
singing for my own benefit; and, fur
thermore, 1 cannot tell how far the
L pleasures of the profession may seem to
yon tooutweigh the drawbacks or vice
versa..
"It's the only thing I'm good for
that's Jill," said she, looking up at him.
"I wonder what Geoff rev would say to
that?" thought Wallie. "By Jove! it's
ontragnoiiH what fools theso boys and
girls will lie. 'J'iiey will they seem to
like if! Well, then, they deserve to have
their little miseries, don't they? Of
course it hey do! I wish J were" he
'lirt-Kcil inmseir ami dropped his ?ye.s
which had dwelt too lung upon her love-
lincsa. "Coi.-io, come, he wiid to him
self severely, "this will never do. At
tend to your business, old two-and-forty,
and pay proper reverence to your daugh
ter!" He got nip ami said aloud;
"Miss Randolph, I'm Ruing t ask you
great favor. I'm an old man, as I
needn't teli you, and I am a slave to ray
habits. Would you permit me to smoke
a cigarette? What small wits I have go
hopelessly wool gathering if I don't keep
them together with a little tobacco."
Miss Randolph smiled.
"My father always smoked," said she.
It would make me feel at home."
"Dear meT thought WaDie ruefully,
"she might have let me off as an elder
brother! But she takes me at my own
valuation blew her heart! Now let os
see what can be done."
He lit bis cigarette, and sent the
smoke curling through his nose. "Art
is certainly a great resource," he observ
ed, "and a noble one. It baa beets-said,
nd it may be true, that it admits of no
rivals. If one's affections are unoccu
piedone's human affections, I mean
and are likely to remain so, I dure say
one could not do better than to devote
one's solf wholly to art. You feel, yon
say, that there is nothing else you could
possibly prefer to it: that you wera
untie for music and for nothing else'?"
"Nothing else," she repeated in a
husky voire, fueling us if, with those
words, she had surrendered her last se
cret of hope of happiness.
"This will come out nil right," thought
Wnlliu to himself cheerfully; "if that
ass Mcoffrcy were only here it might be
settled on the spot." Aloud he said:
"That being the case, I don't see how
yon could be more fortunately situated.
With you rirrumstatircs, expediency
and inrlinatiiin all pull together. It was
not so wilh a young friend of mine
once who showed remarkable talent for
the stage. She had got so far us to make
her debut, with every prospect of suc
cess, when she was unlucky ent..igh to
full in love with and lie fallen in love
with by 11 young gentleman of good
family here, 11 lawyer. You will
hardly believe it, Miss Randolph,
you are so differently constituted in
every way from her," continued Wallie,
gravely; "but when she discovered that
lie would feel pained if she remained on
the stage she actually gave up her whole
career! And they were married, mid
she has never been beard of in a public,
way since. And she seems very happy
too! But she could never have had the
same single hearted devotion to art that
you have."
"I can understand her being happy,
though," said Miss Randolph, almost in
a whisper. Then Wallio's heart smote
him that he had played upon her. After
all, what did ho know ubont what had
occurred between her nnd Geoffrey?
There may have been 11 veritable trago
dy instead of an ordinary lover's misun
derstanding. As n matter of fact he had
no suspicion of tlio tragi-comic mistake
which was the immediate cause of their
separation. Ho thought it probable that
Bhe had revealed her true name to him.
and supposed that they had differed on
the "public cureer" question, which he
had just illustrated in his fable.
In order to give himself and her time
for reflection he took np the conversa
tion at another point "In the event of
your accepting another engagement,"
he said; "I suppose Inigo wonld be the
fortnnate man?"
"Nothing has been decided about
that," she replied, fulling with a sense of
relief into the business tone. "I have
been told that is, it seems that there
maybe a difficulty I hnd not thought of
a legal trouble. This money that I have
been receiving," she went on, nfter it
pause, "has been paid, of course, to Mile.
Marana. The agreement according to
which it is paid is signed by ber that
is, not by me. So it seems that legally
1 am only her representative her dep
uty, ns it were, and she can. if she
chooses, demand that 1 make over all
the money to her. But of course all the
money, or most of it. has lieen paid
away for to my father, so you see there
would lie trouble.
"Humph!" ejaculated Wallie. taking
a pinch of his mustache between his
thumb and forefinger. He meditated for
a while, staring nt the owl, which si
lently returned his gaze. "Who is your
lawyer? he inquired ut length.
"I haven't any."
"Was it Inigo who"
"No be I don't know whether it had
occurred to him." The truth was that
Hamilton Jocelyn, in requital of the in
jury to his feelings, hnd written the
prima donna a letter, in which he had
advanced the above suggestion: and he
had further announced that it was his
purpose immediately to acquaint the
real Marana with the position of alTairc.
and to offer her bis services in the event
of a prosecution. It is doubt fill whether
he really contemplated any action of the
kind, but it would not have softened the
unloveliness of his present sensations
could he have known that Beatrix was
not in the least surprised or shocked ut
the position he had taken. It seemed to
her quite in keeping with his character.
"She might give yon some annoy
ance." Wallie admitted, after further
consultation with the owl. "but I'm by
no means sure she could obtain a ver
dict. I imagine sho must have writ
ren to Inigo, definitely withdrawing
from the engagement, and hence bis
substitution of you Was that the way
of it?"
"Yes: and I lielieve she paid the for
feit." "Then 1 don't think you need worry.
There can at any rate be no doubt that
you have done the singing, and as sing
ing is paid nowadays, four thousand dol
lars 11 night is none too much for it."
"It was three thousand the first month,
and thirty-three hundred afterward."
put in the. prima donna.
"Inigo certainly told me when he re
turned from Enrope last June that he
got Marana for four thousand a night,"
Wullie affirmed. 'Bnt probably he took
advantage of yonr being a debutante to
cut it down.
"Mr. Jocelyn that is, I think not; 1
was told that I received the same that
she was to have had."
"Hamilton Jocelyn? Is he mixed up
in this affair?" inquired Wallie. with an
air of dissatisfaction.
