The estest selling be nU isamm nt neonte wantI Any KATE. There's something in the name of Kate Which many will condemn; t But listen now while I relate The traits of some of them. There's deli-Kate, a modest dame, And worthy of your love; She's nice and beautiful in frame, As gentle as a dove. Communi-Kate's intelligent, As we may well suppose; Her fruitful mind is ever bent On telling what.she knows. There's intri-Kate, she's so obscure, 'Tis hard to find her out; For she is often very sure To put your wits to rout. Prevari-Kate's a stubborn maid, She's sure to have her way; The calling, contrary jade, Objects to all you say. There's.alter-Kate, a perfect pest, Much given to dispute; Her prattling tongne can never rest; You cannot her refute. There's dislo4Kate, is quite a fret, Who fails to gain her point; Her case quite unfortunate, And sorely out of joint. Equivo-Kate no one will woo, The thing would be absurd; She is so faithless and untrue. You cannot take her word. There's viodi-Kate, she's good and true, And strives with all her might Her duty faithfully to do, And battles for the right. There's rusti-Kate, a country lass, Quite fond of rural scenes ; She likes to ramble through the grass And through the evergreens. Of all the maidens you can find, There's none like edu-Kate Because she elevates the mind And aims at something great. THE MH ON THE LBFT# _.-o .--. "The gentleman on the left Kate -do you know him ? He has looked frequently towards you." "Has he." "Who is it ?' "I cannot tell. I have not seen him." "Suppose you look ?" "I prefer not. I came to see the play. Is not Helen Fauchet superb ?" So, so. I wish you would tell me who that gentleman on the left is. I am sure he knows you, and he is strikingly' handsome." i"At present the stage interests me. Besides, if men are rude Senough to stare at strangers, there ~is no occasion for us to imitate them." "Your ladyship has io curiosi ty ?" "Not any; I exhausted it some ttime ago." "Her ladyship was not telling the truth; she was intensely cu :rious, but it pleased her at, the time to pique the honorable Selina Dor .set. That strange sympathy that makes us instantly co nscious of a familiar glance, even in a crowded 'building, had solicited her regard just as Selina had advised her of it. If she had not been asked to look toward her left, she would proba bly have done so; -as it was, she resolutely avoided any movement in that direction. The play finished in a tumult of applause. Lady Kate Talbot for got everything in hei- excitement,, and as she stood up flushed and - trembling, she inadvertently turned toward the left. Instantly she re cognized a presence with which she sought to have been familiar enough. t The gentleman bowed with an t extreme respect. Lady Kate ac knowledged the courtesy in a man dner too full of astonishment tobe altogether gracious, and the,elabo rate politeness of the reconition was not softened by any glance implying a more tender intimacy than that of mere acquaintance. My lady was silent all the way home, and for some reason Selina was not disposed to interrupt her reverie. It did not seem to be an unpleasant one. Kate's face had a ,bright flush on it, and her eyes held - in them a light-a light that re ,sembled what Selina would have called hope and love, if my lady rhdnot benalready mare,and nher destiny apjparently settled. n "Selina, when you have got rid pt of all that lace and satin, come to 'nmy room; I have something to say ~~to you." -Selina nodded pleasantly. She -was sure it concerned the gentle Sman on the left. She had no love St irs oflher own on hand or heart a t present, and being neither litera Sry nor charitable, her time went .,hea4iy onward, A little- blt; ol ,.tmau% esp.tIall$ ifmelei with the cold or proper Lady Tal bot-would be of all things t4e most interesting. She was speedly unrobed, and with her long blonde hair hanging loosely over her pretty dressing gown, she sought my lady's room. Lady Talbot sat in a dream-like stillness, looking into the bright blaze on the hearth. She scarcely stirred as Selina took a large chair beside her, and scarcely smiled when she lifted one of her loosened curls, .and said, "What exquisite hair you have, Kate! True golden." "Yes, it is beautiful. I know that, of course." "Of what are you thinking so in tently ?" "Of the gentleman on our left to night." "Ah, who is he? He seemed to know you." "Ie ought to know me much better than he does. le is my husband, Lord Richard Talbot." "Kate !" "It is true." "I thought he was in Africa, or Asia, or -Europe, or somewhere at the end of the world.' "He is now in England, it seems. I suppose he just arrived. I have not seem him before." "Where is he staying, then ?" "I presume in the left wing of this mansion. I notice there are more lights than usual in it to-night. His apartments are there." "Now, Kate, do tell me all, dear, You know I love a romantic love affair, and I am sure this is one." 4 "You were never more mistaken, Selina. There is no love at all in the affair. That is the secret of the whole position. I thought that as you were staying here this week, r.nd might probably see or meet I my lord, it was better to make all clear to you. People are apt to as sociate wrong with things they do not understand." "To be sure, dear. I suppose Lord Richard and you have a little disagreement. Now, if I could on ly do anything toward a reconcilia tion, I should be so happy, you know." "No, Selina. there has been no i quarrel, and you can do nothing at all between xis. I don't want you to try. Just be kind enough to ig nore the whole circumstance. Lord Richard and I understood each other nearly four years ago." "But it is not four years since you married ?" < "Just four years yesterday." "Aud my lord has been away-" "Three years, eight months and i eighteen days, so far as I know." "Well. this is a most extraordina- I ry thing, and very, very bad, I i must say." < "Jt might easily have been much < sadder. I am going to tell jou the exact truth, and I rely upon 4 your honor and discretion to keep the secret inviolable." "My dear l,fate, I would not name it for the world." "Listen, then. One night, when I was scarcely 7 years old, my i father sent for m to his study. It 1 had been known for months that he was dying. He was the only creature. that I l.ad to love, and I loved him very tenderly. I must mention tlyis also, for it partly ex plains my conduct that the idea of disobeying him in anything had] never presei.ted itself to me as a possibility. This night L. found with him his life long friend, the late Lord Talbot, and the present: lord, my hu band. I was a shy, shrinking girl, without any know ledge of dress or society, and very timid and embarrassed in my man ners. Then my father told me that it was necessary for the good of both houses that Richard and I should marry, that Richard had consented, and that I must meet a few friends in our priyate chapel at 7 o'clock in .the morning a week later. Of course these, things were told me in a very gentle manner and my dear father, with many loving kisses, begged me as a last favor to him to make no objection." "And what did Lord Richard' say!" "I glanced at him. He stood near a window looking out over our fine old park, and when he felt my glance he colored deeply and bowed. Lord Talbot said rather angrily, "Richard, Miss Esher waits for you to spealg. Then Lord Richard turned toward me and said some thing, but in such a low voice that I did not catch its meaning. "My son says you do him a great honor -and pleasure," exclaim~ed Lord Talbot, and he kissed me and led me toward the unwilling bride groom. "Of course I ought to have hated him, Sehina, but I did not. On the contrary, I fell desperately in love with him. Perhaps it would have been far better for me if I had not. Richard read my heart in my face,' and despised his easy conquest. As for me, I suffered in that weak and torturing suspense of a timid school girl in love. I dressed my self in the best of my plain, un becoming, childishtoilkt, and watch ed wearily every day .for a visit from my promised husband; but I saw no more of him until-our wed 64 uamnhngn. 3, tbhu thi sama very rict ciottung naa arrivea tor I me, and also a London maid, and I f think, even then. my appearance t was fair enough to have somewhat z conciliated Richard Talbot. But t he scarcely. looked at me. The r ceremony was scrupulously and v coldly performed, my father, aunt v and governess being present on my c side, and on Richard's his father and his'three maiden sisters. "I never saw my father alive r again, he died the following week, e and the mockery of our wedding u festivities at Talbot oastle was 1 suspended at once.in deference to s my grief. Then he came to Lon-- I don, and my lord selected for his a r>wn use the left wing of the house, v and politely placed at my disposal b all the remaining apartments. I 3 considered this an intimation that I m was not expected to intrude upon N Iis quarters, and I scrupulously n ivoided approach to them. I knew h rrom the first that attempts to win C aim would be useless, and indeed I .elt too sorrowful and humiliated to v ;ry. During the few weeks that I ve remainded under the same roof t< ve seldom met, and I am afraid I lid not make these rare interviews S Lt all pleasant. I felt wronged and ti niserable, and my wan face and f( ieavy.eyes were only a reproach to w lim." r( "Oh, what a monster, Kate !" h< "Not quite .that, Selina. One st lay I saw a paragraph in the Times ni aying that Lord Richard Talbot fC ntended to accompany a scientific p] xploring party whose destination w ras central Asia. I instantly sent Lnd asked my husband for an Inter- C riew. I had intended dressing my- w elf with care for the meeting, and w naking one last effort to win the sI -indly regard, at least, of one whom could not help loving. But some tc Lnfortunate fatality always attend- ai d our meeting and I never could ti lo mybelf justice in his presence. m le answered my request at once. w : suppose he did so out of respect w Lnd kindness; but the consequence e: ras, he found me in an unbecoming c lishabille, and with my face and vi yes red and swollen with weep- 0 ng. "I felt mortified at a prompt at- P4 ention so malapropos, and my man- Ic ker instead of being.winning.and a] onciliating, was cold, unprepos essing. I did not rise from the al ofa on which I had been sobbing, bi 6nd he made no attempt to sit M lown beside me or to comfort K ne. .6" "I pointed to the paragraph and h Lsked if it was true. tt "'Yes, Lady Talbot." he said, a Ic ittle sadly and proudly; 'I shall elieve you of my presence in a few w lays. I intended Writwell to call h, in you to-day with a draft of the n, )rovisions I have made for your ,omfort.' w "I could make no answer. I had Ic hought of a good many things to i lay, but now in his presence I was d dmost fretful and dumb. He look- a' ~d at me almost with pity, and said IC n a low voice, 'Kate, we have both. >een sacrificed to a necessity in- al 'olving many besides ourselves. I d; uin trying to make what reparation b s possible. I shall leave you uni- Ii ~estricted use of three-fourths of my f< neome. I desire you to make your y .ife as gay and pleasant as you-E possibly can. I have no fear for ;he honor of our name in your il aands, and I trust that and all else h :o you without a doubt. If you ' w'ould try and learn to make some excuse for my position, I shall be tl rateful. Perhaps when you are i riot in constant fear of meeting me, V this lesson may not be so hard." 0 "And I. could not say a word in f< reply. I just lay sobbing like a ~ child among the cushions. Then be lifted my hand and kissed it, E and I knew he w gone."b "And now, Ka , that you have I become the most brilliant woman in 8 England, what do you intend to ~ do ?" "Who :knows ? I have such a r contrary streak in my nature. I f always do the thing I do not want f to do.". .s Certainly it seemed like it, for, t in spite of her confession, when ' Lord Talbot seat the next morning I to request an interview, Kate re- ' gretted that she had a prior engage- ~ menit, but hoped to meet Lord Tal bot at the duchess of Clifolrd's that' night. My lord bit his lips angrily, but nevertheless he bad been so struck with his wife's brilliant beauty that I he determined to keep the engage ment. She did .not meet him with sobs this time. The .centre' of an .ad miring throng, she spoke to him with I an ease and nonchalance that would have indicated to a stranger the most usual and commonplace of ac quaintanceships. He tried to draw I her into a confidential mood, but she said, smilingly, "My lord, the wdrld supposes us to have already congratulated each ether; we need not undeceive it." He was dreadfully piqued and the pique kept the cause of it con- E tinu.aily in his mind. Indeed, un- 1 less he left London, he could hard- ( ly- avoid constant meetings which c were constant svtkons. My I] lady want4 Vt af-sabSH bustyra t er weain, ner spienuiu wiuew, umj ne manners, were the universal Leme. He had to endure extrav. gant comments on them. Friends ld him that Lady Talbot had ever been so brilliant and so be ritching as since his return. He ras congratulated on his influence ver her. In the meantime she kept strictly t the distance he himself had ar inged four years ago. It was vident that if he approached any earer his. beautiful but,long-neg. ,cted wife, he must humble him. lf to do so. Why should he not ? a Lord Talbot's mind the reasons gainst it had dwindled down to ne. It was his valet. This man ad known all his master's matri. ienial troubles, and in his own ay sympathized with them. He as bitterly averse to Lord Talbot's aking any concessions to my dy. One night, however, he re ived a profound shock. "Simmons," said Lord Talbot, ery decidedly, "go and ask Lady albot if she will do me the honor > receive a visit from me ?" My lady would be delighted. he was in an exquisite cos tme, and condescended to exhibit ir his pleasure all her most be idering moods. It was with great luctance he left her after a two )urs' visit. The next night he ayed still longer. My lady had ) other engagement, and he quite irgot the one he had made to be esent at the marquis of Stairs' Ine party. The following week my lady re ived every morning a basket of inderful flowers. and a little note ith them containing a hope that te was in good health. One morning she-was compelled say that she wai not very well, id Lord Talbot was so concerned at he sent Simmons to ask if he ight be permitted to eat breakfast [th her. My lady was graciously Ung, and Lprd Richard was quite ,cited by the permission. He tanged his morning gown and cra t several times, quite regardless Simmons'- peculiar face, and, th many misgivings:as to his ap arance, sat down opposite the vely little lady in pale blue satin d cashmere and white lace. It was a charming breakfast, d during it the infatuated hus tnd- could not help saying a great any sweet and flattering things. ate parried them very prettily. t is well," she said, "that no one ars us. If we were not married ey would think we were -making ve."1 "And if we -are married, Kate, by not make love now, dear ? We Ld no opportunity before we were arried." "Ah, Richard, in fashionable life e should make ourselves ridicu us. Every one says our behavior irreproachable. I should. have ~arly liked it when only -a sy. ;kward country girl; but now, mny rd, we would be laughid 'at." "Then. Kate, let us. be laughed , I for one am longing for it ~ring for it.

"We should have to run away to te country, and now I think of it I ave not been to Esher since we ere-married, love." When such a conversation - as is was prolonged for five hours it as little wondered that my lord's alet, and my lady's maid received rders to pack valises'and trunks, >r that next day Esher hall was in happy tumult of preparation. Love comes better late than ever, and Lady Kate always told erself that she never could have een so happy in those sweet old ardens with her lover as she was rith her. husband.
