He was not a musician, and, al though all that was best ad most un pronounceable on the London concert stage was at present performing In her ladyship's drawing-room, the only comment he could find to make to Philip Rutherford was that there was too much of "this beastly fiddling." Then he had left Philip Rutherford, and annexed Miss Phoebe Horton (much the prettiest of the three Miss Hortons), and now passed Into the gar den, looking aa one who passed out of the valley of the shadow. Chinese lan terns twlnSled everywhere. The gar den was no wilderness. London gar dens are not big enough for that and at the moment parts of It were densely populated, but the Major and his com panion passed through the groups near the house Into the comparative solitude beyond. There, as it was necessary to say something to Phoebe, he said that he didn't 'iare for a vIoMh. He was a man of few Ideas; when he had got one he never made the mistake of express ing It In the same way to a woman as to a man. In a general condemnation of the violin Phoebe supported him en thusiastically, and the walk In the garden would not have taken more j than three minutes fifteen seconds by a respectable chronometer. And that was all there was against the Major absolutely nothing else. He returned Miss Phoebe Horton to Philip Ruther ford In excellent condition, and sought out Christine. He found her, and he Judged by her appearances that there was a storm gathering. Unquestion ably the best thing to do with a gath ering storm is to take it Into supper. Dy the time It has finished Its supper it has probably forgotten the cause of its storminess, and a holy calm follows. So the Major, who, though he had tew Ideas, was not an unpractical man, suggested that he should take Christine in to supper. "No, thank you," said Christine. "I don't want any supper." "Well," the Major said vaguely, "one must do something." , "I don't want to do anything," said Christine. "Well," the Major said again, "It's very hot In here, and this music doesn't much appeal to me, you know. Will you come out Into the garden T" Christine got up, sighed, and said that she only came because she was tired of saying "no" to everything. They passed out together. The gar den was almost empty now; nearly everybody was In the supper-room. "You like this garden, don't you?" said Christine. "Well, yes," he said; "these lanterns and things aren't bad. If you get right up to the far end you can't hear the music at least, not enough to matter." "Did you go up to the far end just dow?" said Christine. r "What do you mean?" "Nothing." "Oh, come! One doesn't aay those things for nothing." "Very well, then. For the last half bcur you've been hiding In the gar den." "Oh, come! You mustn't say such things." The passion deepened in her voice. "You've been hiding In the garden with Phoebe Horton." She tried to laugh. "I thought you'd had time to explore it." "As a matter of fact," said the Major, "I don't suppose I was out here five minutes. If I'd been out here for five fortnights, what would it have matter ed to you?" "Nothing," she said, ' drearily. "Nothing matters to me now." Then he observed that things were growing more serious. He took her two hands. "Tell me," be said, "what Is It?" She began to cry. An hour and a half later Major Owen got out of a hansom in Jermyn st He paid the man his legal fare, added another shilling because the man didn't grumble at It, and went up to his chambers. On an ordinary oc casion, being a middle-aged gentleman of some discretion, he would have gone straight to bed; this was not an ordi nary occasion. He changed his dress coat for a smoking Jacket, mixed hjm self a brandy and soda, lit a cheroot, and sat down in an easy chair. But his mind was too disturbed for inac tion. He got up again, and paced the room, circling like, a planet round the The three les-oris that are all the bettor for knowing : that clioerlul uesn can change misfortune into love and friends ; that iu ordering ones self aright, one hoi pa others to do the same ; and that the power of finding beauty in the humlilust thing makes home happy and l fe lovely.

AU uruvgiat. little table on wHlrti the tall glass sparkled like a star under the electrlo light. At lant he stood still. "I have done for myself," he said. Freedom was at an end. His com fortable-chambers, that early In tfie evening he had regarded as his per- manent abldlng-place, now seemed the unsubstantial fabric of a vision; the breath of Hymen, and they were gone. Then came second thoughts. Had he really done for himself? Christine was charming; she had distinctive ways of her own, but she was none the less charming. She would, he considered, do him credit The money did not happen to matter much In his case, but he remembered vaguely that there was money. What seemed much more Important was that she looked very pretty when she cried. A few hours before he had never dreamed of maf ry lng, certainly not marrying a girl like Christine. As It was, he had proposed to her for reasons that he was totally unable to analyse, and he must go on with It. Half an hour's further reflection hav ing still shown him that he must go on with it, he finished his drink, switched off the light and went to bed, and the next morning, having dressed himself with great care, and grumbled profusely at his very excellent valet, he called on Miss Blake, in Bryanston. Square. Now, Miss Blake was the sister of Christine's father, Colonel Blake, and Christine's guardian. The engagement was to be Bhort. The drudgery of If began at once. He had to go to many places where he had never been before, and did not want to go again. He waited, a perfectly ghastly figure, in the shops of fashion able milliners, feeling that every lady customer who entered regarded him as an Insult and an outrage. He had to sit through concerts, they were very good concerts, and a very good con cert was, from the Major's point of view, the very worst sort of a concert. An ordinary tune, as he sometimes ob served, he could more or less under stand. He was made to dance fre quently, and In the small hours of the morning, when respectable, middle aged gentlemen should be In their beds. It was all very trying, but gradually It dawned upon him that there were one or two compensations. Christine certainly behaved very nicely to hlra. He bought her a ring (diamonds and sapphires), nnd her reception of it gave him great pleasure. He repeated this pleasure by buying her other thlngB. After a fortnight he owned to himself that things might have been worse. But he didn't fall In love with Chris tine definitely until she fell 111. Then the Mnjor went temporarily mad. He became a source of wonder and pained surprise to his friends, and a scourge and chastisement to his valet. He lived chiefly in telegraph offices, han som cabs and In the shops of the flor 1st and fruiterer. By a constant sue cession of telegrams he kept himself Informed of Christine's progress dur ing those brief periods when he was not driving to see her, or purchasing for her scented flowers, which she could not bear to have In her room, or out-of-season fruit, which she was not allowed to eat. By the time she bad recovered ber health her conquest was complete, and, with the magnanimity of a conqueror, Bhe decided to do some thing to please him. So she told him that she meant to have her por trait painted. It would be bung on the line of the Academy Delmay was always hung on the line and af terward she was going to give the por trait to him. He said that he was charmed, and he really was, "But," he Bald, "the sittings will bore you terribly, and you are really not strong enough for them. Why don't you have your photograph taken In' stead?" Christine pointed out that It wasn't the same thing at all. "No," be answered; "I suppose not." In matters of art his education had been somewhat neglected. "But," he went on, "I have really seen some photographs which I liked better than the things which had been colored by hand. She laughed at blm, and Instructed him. "But why do you go to Delmay's?" be said. "If I were going to have my portrait done I'd have It done at bed rock prices. Delmay charges no end of a lot, Just because he got some of those writing chaps to scribble about blm in the papers." "But be paints so beautifully," said Ohrlstine; "there Is no one at all like him." "That is Just It," said the Major; "If you were not very pretty It might be just as well to go to a clever chap who could put It on a bit for you, but as it Is, why any one of them who under stood the rudiments of his trade couldn't go wrong. However, Christine had her way. The Major's conception of artists derived chiefly from stage-plays, was that they wore velveteen coats and long hair, and led improper lives. Del may, it is hardly necessary to add, had never warn a velveteen coat In his life, was aa well dressed as the immaculate Major himself, and differed from him chiefly In the fact that he possessed far fewer scruples and much more In telllgence. Miss Blake was a patient woman, but she got weary of continual attendance at Delmay's studio. After repeated sit tings he still seemed to be progressing very slowly; she didn't like to tell him to hurry, especially as be was always perfectly charming to her, but she auked him to dinner with a vague Idea that a sense of the social obligation might lead him to shorten those sit tings aa far -aa possible. The. Major suggested that he should see the por- NOTICK Allhunting. fishing or other truspiuuilng ou the premises of the under signed, In DingHum Township, on Kny mondsklil and Uwnrfakill Crocks, is fr bludeu under peuiilty of the law.

It was nearly finished when Delmay found that his conscience would not allow him to go on with It any further, and that he would have to begin It' all over again. Once or twice, as Miss Blake sat In the studio, turning over the Illustrated papers, her head nodded and her eyes closed. She told Christine that It was very boring. Christine said she was very sorry, but seemed in the best of spirits. Once more It was late at night, and the Major paced his chambers. They no longer had the air of a dream that might pass at any moment. In fact, he knew that, except when he was away for the shootfng, or spending an occasional week in Paris, he would In habit them for the rest of his natural life. Christine's letter lay on the table. He took It up and reread portions of it "It was your Impetuosity that drove me Into It. I was frlehtened. and hardly knew what to say, and gave way. I had my fears even at the time, but I thought that I would give It a fair trial, and see if I could bring my self to love you. I am so Borry If I have given you any pain, but I know now (something which has happened re cently, has shown me) that I could never really love you like that." He read this through twice. Then he recalled that scene In the garden where the proposal had been made, and he remembered from whom nracticallv the proposal had come. And then, though he was sore at heart, he grinned sardonically. It says much for the generosity of his nature that, althouph he was not nres ent In response to Miss Blake's Invita tion to the reception on the occasion or ner niece's marriage with Maurice Delmay it says much, I say, that, though he was not present he sent sliver candlesticks four of them The Delmays still use them.
