What she heidjfil‘z‘arâ€"(ily dared With the consciousness that she had lost him, her passion seemed to turn upon herself, and now her one absorb- ing though! was for revenge. .But how could she avenge herself upon her rival? Under ordinary circumstances they would never meet; their lives were as far asunder as the poles, and yet Lilas swore that since she had fail- ed to win love she would have revenge, and she kept thenceforth a watch on Ernest Westbrook’s movements night and day. ‘ At first she told herself that she was glad he was gone. But she was not glad. And Vmeanwhile Eva had gone back to her work, but wi_th_neyv hgpe in her L _ , __4 1:", . u But she had failedâ€"completely and utterly failed. She had. insistedthat Ernest should make his choice between her and her unconscious rival, and he had obeyed. and had gone away never to return. For a few seconds Lilas stood like a woman petrified. She‘ had been so accustomed to storm and. carry every- thing before her. that she could not realize all at once that this time she had failed. "1 have chosen. Goodâ€"night, Mad- emoiselle do Lampier," and. so saying, he turned on his heel and walked out of the house. “I mean that you must choose be. 'tween Eva Randolph and me. I' saw the adoring way in which she looked at you; I remember now that you would not talk to me about her. I am, not jealous of such a poor thing, but I wouldn’t share the affections of my dog with her, and I won’t share you. You must choose between us this very night." ,Like a man who had set himself some appointed task, he followed her into the brilliantly-lighted drawingâ€" room, and he paused, leaning on the back of a chair. as she turned round upon him almost fiercely, and said: “1 will have no more 01' thisfifoolifig, What do you mean to do?" "I don’t quite understand you,” he reglied, cautiously. "Take that!” and she tossed him a piece of gold; then. seeing Ernest Westâ€" brook, she exclaimed, in! a changed tone: "Ah! then you have come at last.” "Yes," he replied, quietly, "Come with me." and heâ€" got into the brougham. ' Without a word he followed her, and then, almost in silence, they were driven to the small but sumptuously- furnished house in which” she lived. “I can bring prooivs; you are my child; 1 will convince your to-morrow, burtitpâ€"night I starve." “Good-night. Miss RAnEip-EIâ€"EE afraid you have not' had a very plea- sagt evgning." Then he came back to the stage an- trance of the Palladium, with the hope, it must be confessed. of finding that Lilae had gone, he was just in time to meet her on the pavement in some- what angi, discussion with a broken- down, needyâ€"looking foreigner. This she said _in French ,and the mg? answgrqd, volubly: "1 don’t ‘believe Vyoun istor'y. My father was a communard, and is dead, beyond a doubt. You are not he; I _not Â¥be1ieye you.” It can be readily understood, there- fore, that he was in nomood for obey- ing the imperious message which Lilas had written him. Indeed, the proba- bility is that he would not have read the note till the next morning if his mother had not injudiciously asked him if he would' like to escort Eva home. “No, I have an appointment." he replied, decisively; “you had better drive round with her yourself.” And in a louder tone to the gilgl._he said: Her voice sounded harshly' upon his ears; her sensuous’ movements, her tightly-draped form, and her wanton gestures, made him blush; to think he had brought two modest women to see her, and when, as the play went on the moment came when the former playmates recognized each other, he was relieved rather than surprised to see Eva shrink back and cover her face, as though with shame. “We were “children tdééther," he heard her say in a low tone to his mother. "and to think that she could have come to this!” Lilas was on the stage; he saw and heard her, but for. the first time he fully realized the wide gulf that separâ€" ated the notorious actress from the twig women by his side. " Angry as he secretly felt with Eva, he could not help looking at her every now and again, and' thinking how sweet and pure and gentle she was. The very tones of her voice soothed him, while the touch’ of her ungloved band sent a thriil of happiness to his vegy heart. v Yes, if he remained long with her and saw'mu‘l of her, the old spell that he thought he. had broken would come over him again, stronger than ever. He was more than tempted to yield to it, but he told himself he had not been fairly treated, either by his mother or by Eva, and then the recol- lection of Lilas Lampier’s voluptuous beauty came back to him, and be deâ€" termined at least to wait. u In point of tact,'he ééiild do nothing else at present, for by this time they had reached the theatre, and had en- tered their box. With a slight shrug of) the shouldâ€" ers he yielded the point. If his mothâ€" er would but leave matters alone how much more comfortably life would slip along. CHAPTER X.â€"Continued. At the last moment he wished he was not going to take» them to the Pallaâ€" dium. and he suggested to his mother that they should go instead to the opera; but Mrs. Westbrook reminded him that he had secured a. box at the former place, and added.‘ that she par- ticularly wished to use it. She would Be a Lady. V _..‘r--vuv Eva was long in recovering from her wound and the shock: caused by the outrage. and her wedding, when it did take place. was a very quiet one; but her“ weddeH life is not the less happy on that account, and when she thinKs of erring" Lilas, it is with a sigh of pity 'that one so richly endoweu. will) nature’s choicest gifts should have flung them all away so recklessly. Eva sprang to her feet with astonish- ment and indignation at such an intru- sion. but Ernest, instincLively dreadâ€" ing some danger to the woman he loved, rushed in front! of her. ‘ Quick as he was, however. Lilas was still quicker. The unhappy creature lived just long enough to day: “She will be .a lady; but, Iâ€"â€"Iâ€"-â€"-” She never finished the sentence. and, a few mnutes after , she expired. Without a word, but with lightningâ€" like rapidity, she took aim at Eva with a pistol she held in. her hand, and fired, then there followed the report of a second shot; she had turned the weapon against herself. The horror and consternation that followed baffles all description. Eva was only slightly wounded. but Lilas bad fatally injured herself. While Ernest, with his arm around Eva, was talking of his love, and urging that there need. be no delay in their marriage, the door of the room was opened without knock or care- mony, and Lilas Lampier stood before them. _- ._.V. “n...ku uvavhuvl . He answered her with? lover-like warmth and affection, but little as they thought it, a third surprise, and this not a pleasant one, was close at hand. “You see, I have had two bright surprises this morning,” she said, with a happy smile, when he had read the letter; “a fortune and ahusband cope almost together.” it was same time before the lovers were calm and cofllected enough to talk of anything but their mutual love, and it was the sight of the lawyer’s letter that recalled the fact of her long-wixhheld fortune to Eva’s mind. A change had come over the young man. He seemed older, but the look of dissipation that had begun to taint him was gone. , The old expression of earnest, manliness had taken its place, and nciw, no sooner was the door closed behind him, than be advanced to the trembling girl, took. both her hands in his, and. said, without a. word of per- face: “I come to repeat the question I wrote to you months ago, Eva.

Wiell, thank Heaven, I can return to Mrs. Westbrook every penny she has spent upon mel” ' . There might have been some magic in the mention of the name, for scarceâ€" ly had she uttered it before a servant announced, not Mrs. but Mr. Westâ€" brook. - ’ "Dear Madam,” he wrote, “after careful inquiry, we find that your late father was possessed of property pro- ducing at the time of his decease about a hundred a year, but now of much greater value. He died intestate, and. his widow should have taken out let-' ters of 4 administration; this she neglected to do, but contrived to ap- propriate the whole income, and what- soever personal property there might have been in his possession at the time of his sudden death, to her own use. Your signature was probably wanted by Mr. and Mrs. Church .to enable them to realize the estate. as I have ascertained they meant to do, and then leave the country, I advice you to give me authority to take immediate proceedings against them. As far as 1 can at present judge, the property to which you are legally entitled is worth five thousand pounds.” Thus three weeks passed on, and then Eva received a communication from the lawyer in whose hands she had placed her stepmother’s letter. “nnnr Madam” 5m ‘xrrn+n an“..- Very tal‘dily, but, at length, very resolutely, Ernest’s mother admitted to herself that she had made a serious blunder in interfering with} her son’s worked and pressed into molds, or peat.

On the fifth day she felt that she could endure this suspense no longer. Etiuqette demanded that after dining at Mrs. Westbrook’s house she should go and call upon‘ that lady, and, glad of the excuse, she dressed herself with more than usual care, and took a cab and drove to her house in Mayfair. After this, Eva thought ‘ her some- time patroness would write to her 6r come to see her, even if her son did not desire to renew. his suit, but she did not, and Eva was sometimes almost driven to believe she had dreamed of that dinner and the; visit to the thea-u tre. Strange as‘Mrs. Westbrook’s con- duct might seem tq our heroine, how~ ever, there was much. method and not a little wisdom in it. ' But he never came, and the next day pased, and again the next, and she could not work or think of her work to any purpose in the tremulous anxiety that had taken possession of her. Despite the coolness with which he had treated her, Eva more than half suspected that he would call the day after the visit to the theatre, and she waited in all the day long, -and her heart palpitated painfully at every loud knock at the street door. But fate was against her. Mrs: Westâ€" brook was not at home, so she could but leave her. card and go back as she came.

Some men spend their lives sitting on the bank waiting for a tow, while others get out into their boats' and pull for themseh ves. And it may be here remarked that every man has a chance in this race, and no man need fear to enter, for the race is not necessarily to the man who feathers his ear the nicest; the bungler may win by keeping at it, There are different degrees of success in life, but no man can achieve any of them. high or lowâ€"he may be au- of that -- without labor.

To a reporter who recently interviewed him he said: "1 very gladly’ testify to the great merit of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. A few years ago I fell avictim toone of the worst forms of kidney trouble. I was tortured with terrible pains across the back. I could neither sit up or lie down with any. degree of ease. I consulted a doc- tor, and he gave me medicine which I took from time to time, but instead of helping me I was growing worse; My digestiom became impaired and I suffered from additional pains in the stomach. I would feel cold along the spine and in the region of the kidneys; sparks would apparently float before my eyes, and Iwould havo frequent headaches. I then began using time-:- dicine advertised Ito euro kidney troun' ble, but to no avail; it left me poono er in pocket, while Igrew worse in health.
