Lord Loring hurried away to his
dressing-room. " I won't be more than
ten minutes," he said, and left Bomayne
and Stella together.
She was attired with her customary
love of simplicity. White lace was the
only ornament on her dress of delicate
silvery gray. Her magnificent hair was
left to plead its own merits, without
ornament of any sort. Even the brooch
which fastened her lace pelerine was of
plain gold only. Conscious that she
was showing her beauty to the greatest
advantage in the eyes of a man of taste,
she betrayed a little of the embarrai
ment which Bomayne had already no
ticed at the momen when she gavA
him her hand. They were alone ; and
it was the first time she had seen him
in evening dress.
It may be that women have no posi
tive appreciation of what is beautiful
in form and color, or it may be that
they have no opinions of their own
when the laws of fashion have spoken,
This at least is certain, that not one
of them in a thousand seos anything
objectionable in the gloomy and hideous
evening costume of a gentleman in the
nineteenth century. A handsome man
is, to their eyes, more seductive than
ever in the contemptible black coat and
the stiff white cravat which he wears in
common with the servant who waits on
him at table. After a stolen glance at
Bomayne, Stella lost all confidence in
herself she began turning over the
photographs on the table.
The momentary silence whioh fol
lowed their first greeting became in
tolerable to her. Rather than let it
continue, she impulsively confessed the
uppermost idea in her mind when she
entered the room.
' I thought I heard my name when I
came in, bLo said. " Were you and
Lord Loring speaking of me?'
Bomayne owned without hesitation
that they had been speuk iug of her.
She smiled, and turned over another
photograph. But when did sun-pio-tures
ever act as a restraint on a woman's
curiosity ? The words passed her lips in
spite of her. " I suppose I muan't ask
what you were saying V
It was impossible to answer this
plainly without entering into explana
tions from whioh Bomayne shrauk. 30
hesitated.
She tnrned over another photograph.
"I understand," she said. "Yon
were talking of my faults." She paused,
and stole ano' her look at him. "I will
try to correct my faults if yon will tell
me what they are."
Bomayne felt that he had no alterna
tive but to tell the truth under certain
reserves. "Indoed you are wrong," he
said. " We were talking of the influ
ence of a tone, or a look, on a sensitive
person."
"The influence on me T she asked,
"no. ine in n nonce wmcn you
might exercise on another person."
She knew perfectly well that he was
speaking of himself. But she was de
termined to feel the pleasure of making
him own it.
" If I have any such influence as von
describe," she began, " I hope it is for
goodr"
" Certainly for good."
" You speak positivey, Mr. Romarne.
Almost as positively only that can
scarcely be as if yon were speaking
from experience."
He might still have evaded a direct
reply, if she had been content with
merely saying this, Bnt she looked at
him while she spoke. He answered the
look.
"Shall I oarn that yon are rightr be
said. " I was thinking of my own ex
perienoe yesterday."
She returns to the photographs. " It
sounds impossible," she rejoined, sofilr.
There was a wnse. Was it anything
I aid?" she asked.
"So. It was only when ynn looked
at me. But for that look I don't think
I should have been here to-day."
Ska) ahnt np the photograph oo a
if the gentlefolks up?y rs had enjoyed
their dinner. So far.Uhe report was,
on the whole, favorable But the con
versation was doscribetfag occasionally
flagging. The burden of the talk had
been mainly borne by my lord and my
lady, Mr. Bomayne and Miss Eyreoourt
oontnbuting bnt little to the social en
joyment of the evening; . Receiving this
information without much appearance
of interest, the housnkeeper put another
question, to which, jndging by her man
ner, she attached a certain importance.
She wished to know if the oyster-ome
lette, accompanying the cheese, had
been received as a welcome dish, and
treated with a just recognition of its
merits. The answer to this was decid
edly in the negtuaMr Bomayne
and Miss. Eyreconrt had declined to
taste it. My lord had tried it, and had
left it on his plate. My lady alone had
roally eaton her share of the misplaced
dish. Having stated this apparently
trivial circumstance, the head servant
was surprised by tlie effect which it pro
duced on the housekeeper. She leaned
back in her chair and closed her eyes,
with an appearance of unutterable en

supremely happy woman in London ;
and her name was Hiss Notman.
Ascending from the housekeeper's
room to the drawing room, it is to be
further reported that music was tried,
as a means of getting through the time
in the absence of general conversation.
Lady Loring sat down at the piano
and played as admirably as usual. At
the other end of the room Bomayne and
Stella sat together, listening to the
music Lord Loring, walking back
ward a,nd f'.riiaralawti-. restlessness
whioh teas lur from being characteristic
of him in his after-dinner hours, was
stopped when he reached the neighbor
hood of the piano by a private signal
from his wife.
Wi at are yon walking about for?"
Lady Loring asked in a whisper, with
out interrupting her musical perform
ance.
"I m not quite easy, -my aear.
"Turn over the music. Indiges
tion?"
'Good heavens, Adelaide, what
question."
"Well, what is it, than?"
Lord Loring looked toward Stella
and her companion,
They don't seem to get on together
as well as I had hoped, he said.
"I should think not when you are

Sit down there behind me.
" What am I to do?
" Am I not reaving? Listen to me."
" My dear, I don't Understand mod

" Then read the evening paper,
The evening paper had its attractions.
Lord Loring took his wife s advice.
Left entirely by themselves, at the
other end of the room, Bomayne and
Stella justified Lady Loring's belief in
the result of reducing her husband to
state of repose. Stella ventured to
ipeak first, in a discreet undertone.
" Do you pass most 01 yonr evenings
alone, Mr. Bomayne?
Not quite alone. 1 nave tne com

'Are your books tne companion that

' I have been true to those compan

He put the question an assumed

side, to answer him in the same tone.
" I almost wish I really had some in

sadly.
"Whvr

took it on myself to say that you wanted

"I am sure you meant well." As he
spoke his face darkened a little, be
traying a momentary feeling of distrust,
Had she put indiscreet questions to his
traveling companion, and had the ma

it right to say more, there was no oppor

Bomayne felt ashamed of the suspi
cion by which he had wronged her.
"You have a generous nature," he said,
earnestly. "Among the few people
whom I know, how many would feel the
interest iu me that you felt ?"
" Don't say that Mr. Bomayne I Yon
could have had no kinder friend than the
gentleman who took oare of you on your
journey. Is he with you now in London?'
"No."
" I am sorry to hear it. You ought
to have some devoted friend always near
you."
Hlie spoke very earnestly. Bomayne
shrnk, with a strange shyness, from
letting her see how her sympathy af
fected him. He answered lightly:
Yon go almost as far as my good
friend there reading the newspaper," he
said. . " Lord Losing dotsn't scruple ta :
tell me that I ought to marry. I know
he speaks with a sincere interest in my
welfare, lie little thinks how h dis

" Why should he distress you V
" He reminds me live as long as I
may that I must live alone. Can I
ask a wman to share such a dreary life
as mine? It would he selfish ; it would
be cruel ; I should deservedly pay the
penalty of allowing my wife to sacrifice
herself. The time would come when
she would repent having married me."
Stella rose. Her eyes rested on him
with a look of gentle remonstrance.
"I think you scarcely do women jus
tice," she said, softlv. " Perhaps some
day a woman may induce you to change
your opinion." She crossed the room
to the piano. " Yon must be tired of
playing, Adelaide," she said, putting her
hand caressingly on Lady Loring's
shoulder.
Will you sing, Stella?"
She sighed and turned away. " Not
to-night," she answered.
Bomayne took his leave rather hur
riedly. He seemed to be out of spirits
and eager to get away. Lord Loring
accompanied his guest to the door.
" You look sad and care-worn," he
said. " Do you regret having left your
books to pass an evening with us?"
Bomayne looked up absently, and
answered: " I don't know yet."
Returning to report this extraordi
nary reply to his wife and Stella, Lord
Loring found the drawing-room empty
Eager for a little private conversation,
the two ladios had gone npitairs.
" Well," said Lady Loring, as they
sat together over the fire, " what did
hesav?'
Stella only repeated what ho had said
before she rose and loft him.
"What ia there in Mr. Rimayne's
life," she asked, " which m ule him say
that he won Id be selfish ami cruel if he
expected a woman to marry h'm ? It
must be something more than mere ill
ness. If he ' ad couunited a crime, he
oould not have spoken more strongly.
Do yon know what it is?"
Lady Loring looked uneasy.
" I promised my husliand to keep it
secret from eveiyWy," she said.
" It Is nothing degrading, Adelaide ;
I am sure of that."
"And vou are right, my dear. I can
understand that he has surprised and
disappointed you : bnt if you knew his
motives " she stopped, and looked
earnestly at Stella. "They say, she
went on, " the love that lasts longest ia
the love of slowest growth. This feel
ing of yours for Bomayne is of sudden
growth. Are you vory sure that yonr

"I know that I love him," said Stella,
simply.
" Even though he doesn't seem, as yea,
to love vou?" Lady Lonng asked.
" All the more because he doesn't I

Ulr Lorinir allowed her to get as
far as the door, and then suddenly called
her back. Stella returned unwUlmgiv
and wearily. " My heed a bea an 1 my

more than that, for the sake of yonr

may ever hope to win its reward. It is
time, and more than time, that yon
khould decide whether it is good for
yon to see Bomayne again. Axe yon
strong enough to do that?"
" Yes, if I am convinced that it ought
to be done."
"Nothing would make me so happy,"
Lady Loring resumed, "as to know that

On the memorable Monday when the
picture-gallery was opened to the pub
lio for the first time, Lord Loring and
Father Benwell met in the library.
" Judging by the number of carriages
already at the door," said Father Ben
Well, "yonr lordship's kindness is
largely appreciated by lovers of art." ,
"All the tickets were disposed of jn.

"Exouse me if I leave you," the

The same address as usual Derwent's

With those words he hurried out,
making his way, without ceremony,
through the orowd in the picture-gallery.
.
Father Benwell returned to the li
brary. It was quite needless to trouble
himself further about Mrs. Eyreoourt
or her address.
"Thanks to Lord Loring's pioture
gallery," he thought " I have found
the man I"
He took up his pen, and made a little
memorandum" Winterfleld, Derwent's

" I have just come from the gallery,'
Lord Loring continued. "And here

of some of the visitors. You know my
beautiful copies of Raphael s Cupid and
Psyche designs ? The general impres
sion, especially among the ladies,

Father Benwell rang the bell when
Lord Loring had left him.
" Do tbe ladies drive out to-day at
their usual hour? he inquired, when
the servant appeared. The man an
swered in the affirmative. The carriage
was ordered for three o'clock.
At half-past two Father Benwell slip
ped quietly into the gallery. He posted
himself midway between the library-
door and the grand entrance, on the
watch, not for the civilizing influences
of art, but for the appearance of LaJy
Loring and Stella. He was still of
opinion that Stella's ' frivolous " mother
might be turned into a source of valu
able information on the source of her
danghter's earlier life. The first step
toward attaining this object was to dis
cover Mrs. Eyrccourt's present address.
Stella would certainly know it, and
Father Benwell felt a just confidence
in his capacity to make the young hvly
serviceable, in this respect, to the pe
cuniary interests of the church.
After an interval of a quarter of an
hour, Lady Loring and Stella entered
the gallery by the library-door. Father
Benwell at once advanced to pay his
respects.
For some little time he discreetly re
frained from making any attempt to
lead the conversation to the topic that
he bad in view. He was too well ac
quainted with the insatiable interest of
women in looking at other women to
force himself into notice. The ladies
made their remarks on the pretentions
to beauty and to taste in dress among
the throng of visitors, and Father Ben
well waited by them, and listened with
the resignation of a modest yonng man.

Unquestionably, a gentleman, with

ligent blue eyes apparently a ill in

A Bom antic Caheer. The mere
narrative of Garibaldi's life reads like a
medieval legend or a tale of heroic
times. He is at once the Ulvses and
tne Actwies of the Itnlian nationl epic.
Long before his name had been heard in
Europe, his exploits, both by sea and
land, had made it a word of power in
the new world. Hiving been involved
m revolutionary intrigues, he quitted
Europe in 1836 for South America, only
to return after twelve years' oxile. the
story of which with its stirring adven
tures both of battle and peaceful enter
prise is as romantio as anv subsequent

1848 Gsribaldi returned to Europe, al

ots, bv the promise soon to be blighted,
ofPioNono's accession as the liberal
pope." But though he soon lonnrt tht
hiJ hopes In thnt'dlrection were td ha
disappointed, Garibaldi did not return
in vain. His share in the defennn nf
Rome against the troops of the French
republic under Gen. Oudiuot and bis
victory over the Neapolitons in the
campaign of Valletri served to show his
countrymen that they would not want a
leader ready to go all lengths when the
time came.
Tbe time did not come for another ten
years, and the inti rvening period was
one of sorrow and humiliation for Uar-
baldi. After tbe disastrous Roman
campsign, ending with the occupation
of Rome by the French troops, and tbe
overthrow of Mnzzini's triumvirate.
Garibaldi was hunted from place to
ulace: two of his devoted friends were
taken by tbe Austrian troops and shot
without any form 01 trial : bis heroic
wife, Anila, tbe companion of all bis ad
ventures and perils succumbed to the
exposure and privation of his flight, and
the general himself only escaped from
19 more implacable loes to be arrested
by Sardinian troops and carried to Gen-
nere La Marmora, who held tbe

peace with Austria, and ttie bopes of
Italy seemed extinguished for tbe :110m
ent. Garibaldi onoe more crossed the At
lantic and settled in New York as a tal
low chandler. He returned to Europe
in 1855, and in 1859 the war between
France and Austria brought him again
into the field. Here we approach the
better known, or, at least the better re I
membered parts of Garibaldi's eventful
career. All the world recollects the
exploits of the Chasseurs des Alpes,
whom Garibaldi organized for mountain
warfare, and led with consummate dar
ing along tbe sub-alpine ranges nod to
the very summit of tbe Sielvio Paas be
fore tbe sudden peace of Villafranca put
an end lor tne moment to tne rising
hopes of Italian patriots and statesmen.
Siill more familiar is tbe story of the
