a third room of small size, which my
wife christened her library by virtue of
the bookcase and secretary of ebony and
gold wherewith she caused it to be de
corated, though she was rather puzzled
how to fill the bookcase, as Ouida's novels
and the poems of Owen Meredith and
Swinburne comprised nearly the whole
of her literary possessions Besides the
entrance to the dressing-room, there was
another mode of exit from this library,
a small door which open directly upon a
narrow fightof stairsleading downward
to the ground floor, and at the foot of
which there was another little door open
ing out into a densely-shaded walk, which
led into the most secluded part of the
grounds. This walk and staircase had
been constructed by the former proprietor
for the use of an invalid daughter, who
by this means, when the house was
crowded with guests, could still make
her way to the garden and ground un
perceived, and there enjoy her usual
daily promenade. There was a dead
latch and a bolt on the lower door, so
thit when it was not in immediate use it
coulddbe securely fastened.
One stormy day in March I came up
town to call on a business friend at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel When I quitted him
I founmd the storm had so increased in
violence that I determined to return
home at once, though it was still early in
the afternoon, a determination which I
put into execution at once. As I opened
the front door I heard voices in the par
lor. Czar, wet and muddy, was at my
heels as usual, but, without considering
his untidy condition, I entered the parlor
in search of my wife. She was seat
ed by the window conversing with a
gentleman, and, rising at once, though
with a slight shade of embarrassment in
her manner, she said :
"Ah ! here is my husband. Richard,
this is one of my oldest frieni~--Mr.
(Gordon Arnold.L"
,, for the first time I looked upon
the man of whom I had heard so much in
untfaorable connection with the name
of the lady I had married. Pale, slen
ider, dark-eyed-handsome certainly, yet
not the style of inail for whose sake
,ne can fancy a woman going mad,but the
soft voice mand graceful manner pos
re sed an undoubted charmn; and so I
Imentl!ly confessed to myself as he rose
from his seat on the sofa and came for
ward to receive my greeting. As I ad
vanced to take his proffered hand, a
growl from the dog startled me, and I
stopped suddenly and looked round.
Czar was in the very act of crouching
for a spring The hair upon his back
stood up in a still bristling ridge, his up
per lip was drawn back so as to display
his stron'g white teeth, and the sidelong
glantm of his angry eye showed but little
of the pupiL In an instant I had him
by the collar, not one second too soon to
prevent him from flying at Mr. Arnold's
throat. It was evident that Czar had
taken one of those violent antipathies to
him, to which the gentlest of dogs are
occasionally prone, and which teach them
with the subtle instinct of their hate,
strong as is their love, to detect at once
the presence of their self constituted foe,
Sby the sound of his step, the rustle of his
garments, nay, the bare fact of his ap
proach.
Mr. Arnold was visibly startled.
"Your dog seems vicious, Mr. Kerri
son," he said, in a slightly tremulous
voice. "Itis a pity that so handsome a
creature should be so dangerous."
I made some apology, and dragged
Czar away, which Lwas obliged to do by
main force, so detErmined was he upon
seizing Gordon Arnold. Meanwhile
Jaunde stood by, /white and trembling.
"Do have th dog killed, Richard,"
she cried at lastwhen Ihad sunceeded
in mastering hi. But I only shook myv
headl and aed r Cr was an old
subjectof dirspte between Mrs. Kerri
son and mye but I was not disposed
to sacrifice m old friend and daily com
prniou mere beesnee she shared my
dislike to m wife's "oldest friend."
I did not turn to the parlor after I
hal chain up the dog, but sought the
seehlion my library, where I awaited
Mr. Aruc 's delparture. In about half
an hour I' heard the froit door close
and then 3Iu'Ide, humming one of Offen
bach's melodies, came into the room
where I sat.
"Why did you not come back, Richard?
she asked. "I wanted ye to meet Mr.
Arnold; he usemad to be s kind to me
when I w a poverty-strken school
girl, and I* you would like him."
This was with that air of raive
rankness which is calculated to ward
off all reproof or blame.
"When did the Arnold family arrive
home from Europe? I asked.
"About a month ago, I believe."
"Have you called upon Mrs Arnold
since her return?"
"Yes; about two weeks ago."
"Has she returned your visit?"
There was a moments hesitation, and
then Mauds repied:
"No-at leat--not yet"
'"Then it is my wish that you should
not continue to receive her husband."
To be continued.
