"wiahee to manyr repeated his father. "What, yon dont mean that yon have got any ildloulons notion of that kind in yoar head?" "Well, I snpt>08e a man mav think of mar- lyingat some period of his ifie," replied his son In a haU-<leflant tone; "at any rate, lather you did." "Tea, yes, of course—one of the things one has to go through before he dies; but I dont see thai one need go out to be roasted in India In antlQlpation of such an event." "That,may be, father; but I want to have a ••caieer.not play at having one: however, we can talk about this at another time. Tou are not coming with nsT" "No, I've seen vratettalls enoagh In my lite.

"I don't think It will be prudent'to talk of your preference for Eastern to European cus- toms in that respect before the ladles, particu- lady as they dont apply to Englishwomen, do you, father?" remarked the young man with a Jiivrtilch the elder one shook his head with a Imowing smSe as he replied: "Ah, yes; as well let them think themselves peifectJpoor things 1" Aa observation which it was perhaps quite as wan Mrs. Talboys did not hear, since even her husband bimsell admitted that he was riunpecJtedL^ j ant P ^lg_o|_fonr which started Ing, Mis.

The Cascade de Coo is nine ^ miles, from Spa, and the varied scenery as they rode along excited the admiration of our trav- elers, particularly of Loo, who felt so light- heanedand In such exuberant spirits that she looked haU-Iaughingly ata solitary horseman descending one of the paths which wound up round a hiU to their right. Iliere was some- thing so oomlo in his appearance, for his pony was small.'.he himseu was big. and riding down a steep hfll la never a graceful attitude at any time. Just as he reached the road in -wlilch thejf were riding along, however, she Tecognized the man, and her face became , white to her very Hps, while her tooKae for the ■ moment lefnsed to ntter a sound. The horse- man stared at her, but, though he admired her lovely face, there was notliuig familiar in it, imlees it were a far-off memory, too distant and indistinct to be relied upon; and Uiss Travels* face was hidden from his momentary ^Sanoe by her sunshade, and he passed on, wondering at the look of terror that had greet- ed his approach. So struigewas it that the memo^ of it haunted him all day long, and he had not forgotten it when he went to dine, according' to Invitation, with his old Indian acquaintance. Colonel Talboys. Here, if she were still in Spa. the young man expected to ' neet.Habel Tiavers, since most of the inmaf^ of the hotel would naturally dine at the table d'hote, and, to be frank, this was the one thing that made him heettate about accepting the Invttatlon. For Kabel Tiavers had, the young nan felt, annbbed and slighted him. since he had caned upon her at the hotel, left his own card and his sister's, with the address also at which they were staying, but no notice had been taken of his visit, no return call made, and Con- stance had told him that not only was she aTeise to rememberlngthe acquaintance of their stepmother's sister, but she had no doubt the dislike was reciprocated. Nor, when hn .-sme to think of it and remembered their last Inter- -vlew in En^and some ten years ago, did he -Qiink his sister's view of the case improbable; and though he would have liked to have seen IiOO, or heard eometliing abont her, that boy- lah faitataation, which had shown ItseU In such a Tory disagreeable manner, had, if not utterly died out. been so buried under the dust of time and more matnre love-passages tliat the ohancffl were. It not revived, it would stand a good chance of dying ont altogether. "Let me see; snewlUbe about the awkward age now," he mused as he walked towards the hoteL "Ten years ago: she will be sixteen or seventeen now, with elbows and shoulders sticking out at ilfbt angles, and aU her prettt- nessveiy probauy gone awav with her child- hood.

"Then yon had th* advantage of me," he ■went on,''forI neverthoughtftr a moment that It could be yoo." "No,perhape I have changed the most; bnt then y<ci were older than I before yon went away, and, besides that, you ate so much like Constance that anyone ought recognize vod as belonging to each other.". A half frown came OTBC. the young rnaiTs flee; though hehadheaid nothing about the onfesslon ot her gnilt that his-sister had made, and he himsell had no certainty about it, there WBBsomethlng so strange and eiratlo obont CoDstanoe, one might almost - eay'at tlinesao mad, that; whereas ha . might once have felt flattered to be compared to her. he now took it as anything but a compliment. Finding so little was tolie got fipm Xoo, he next addressed himself to JUisB Travels, vrith inquiries as to the probable date of her return to England; whether she was going- to reside In her.old home at Netting HID, and how and where Lady Travers was. "Oh, my aunt la quite weU," said - Wabel, re- plying to.tiie lastqnesUon; "herhome is in London; she is quite independentjof ma now; her brother, who vras offended with her for mairying aa she did, and had- not spoken to her tor many years, died about six montns ago leav- ing her a handsome income; it Is to be hoped shewiU live long to ei^oy it. Her last letter was rather amusing." "I can vroU imagine that. I should have caUed upon her when I was In En^and if I had thonght abont It; however, I return again soon. Ton know that the baby, as they caU Iter, Is now a big girl, and that Hiss Finch Is mauled." "No, I did not know the latter piece of news; who has she manled?" "A cousin of my father's named LetweU; he Isnta young man, neither Is she a young wo- man as tar as that goes." Then he caught his breath.rememberinethat Mabel Traversliad by this time reached, ft not passed, her seventh Instie. " "Miss FinA Is not so very old; she and I are abont the same age," letumed Mabel with a smUe. "But about Constance—what makes her live abroad, and who Is she staying with now? It Is almost a pity she did not foUow yon out to India; she might have got married there." "She talked of coming out with me, but, as she says she shall never many, I dont see the use." . "She might keep house for yon," suggested Loo. who thought it would be a capital thing for both brother and sister to be at such a dis- tance from herself. • - "I might prefer a wife to manage my honse," replied Herbert, with a glance that made Jack ifiboys' face fluah, and Loo look quickly in another direction, so that she might not notice It; "and," Herbert went on, "if I were to mariTr, Constance would not be a desirable resident in the house." , „ . . "No, I should think not," assented Mabel emphatically: while Mrs. Talboys began to in- quire about lUss Dorset. How old was she? Was she good-looking? She must call upon her. And along fire ot smaU talk foUowed, the Talboys being aU this time blissfully unconscious that the Doieets they were speaking to and of, and those whose name had been so notorious some ten years before in connection with the Orove Honse murder, were the same.. For Herbert had carefully concealed the fact while In India, never speaking of his family if he coald avoid It, and, when he did write to his father, alwnys sending to liis business address, until the whisper had gone ^road in that land where the residents are so given to scandal that his father was a.bntterman or a butcher. When the story came to Herbert's ears he laughed loudly and somewhat bitterly, bnt never con- tradicted it; the truth, he felt, would be far worse than this absurd Action, and he had a morbid horror ot being pointed out as one of a family in which such a terrible, and to the world at large as well as to himself such a mysterious tragedy bad occurred. By tacit consent poor little Freddy's death had never been mentioned between himself and any of the family since he first left England, and ne wss in momentary dread now lest Blabel or Loo should in any possible way allude to it. But the dinner passed off far better than might have been expected, save that Count Ldldlslas Schobelofl, having seats for himself and friend next to our party, would persist in joining jo tbeconvetsation, and escited the ire of both of the Tonng men by asking and obtaining per- mission from Mr». Talboys to present a bou- qoot to the young lady. .'!Ifs only a polite aoknowldgemont for the money I won for him at the gaming-table the other morning," said the colonel's wife, when, an hour after, as the party ot six were soaled In their private sitting-room, a waiter brought up a bunch of flowers certainly equal in size to a large Cheshire cheese, with the Count's card and compliments, by liermlsslon ot Mrs. Tal- boys. to Miss LucUe 'Travers. "Oh, how beautiful!" exclaimed the girl, whfle her face flushed brightly. "I am so fond of flowers'. BeaUy, the Count does improve on acquaintance; doeent he?" At which Mabel smiled, the young men frowned, and Mrs. Talboys commenced a pane- gyric on the Count, which her husband Inter- rupted by sxiggesting a gome of uaide. "I dont care aboiit playing," sold Jack. "Neither do I." saidXoo. "Then we will play whist." said the colonel. While, to Herbert's dlsgnst. Loo and Jack at the far end of the room talked and laughed menlly: thus p^iog-attention to them, he tKougHs*iaiSft%^'\fia2s^l^^«2^ O lOugl before. CHAPTER XXXI. A BETUTtS OF OIJ> INTATITATIOS.

'•IteaUy,Mr.irot».*.oj3 4^,^ you have aced my king or ™tumed mv lead I" exclaimed jtfts. -Talboys witEJuSS^d irritation. "We lost the game not for want ot good cards, but because yoo have played them so badly." And though usuaUy very sweet and amia- ble, the lady was now very reasonably annoyed. "I beg your pardon, I am dreadfully stupid to-day." he blundered, "and I so rarely pla; atcaras. Olve me one mora chance, and '. will try to do better." "Pray do." returned his hostess, "and. my dear Loo, will you play us something? I am ahald your laughing and talking helps to dis- tract our attention. Jack wlU turn over the leaves for you." "Tes, with pleasure," was the unhesitating reply. And then the two betook themselves to the piano, and while Mendelssohn's "Songs With- out Words" were sounding In his ears Her- bert Dorset felt he most pull himself together and pay aome attention to the ordinary rules ot whist, if he would retain his reputation for sanity at all. Fortune favored him with. 11 not a good band, at least a cross one that played well with his partner's, so that they at once scored four by tricks and two by honors, and Mrs. Talboys' spirits and temper improv- ed accordingly. For fuU an hour this went on; then Mabel Travers declared she was tired, and suggested that Jack Talboys should take her hand. Someone proposed that Loo should do so; but she declined, saying: "She dldnt like cards, and didn't think she could play." After which the card-party seemed to lan- guish. Loo and Miss Travers having gone off, but without saying good-night, to their own room. "Thevwill come back again," Mrs. Talboys said, with a significant smile at her son, whose eyes were lingering upon the door. This remark made Herbert Dorset's blood boU, for this night, with ten times ite old In- tensity, his boyish passion for the chfld who had so plaintively colled herself "Poor Loo" had come back for the beautiful woman she had grown into, to form the ruling influence and power tor good or evil of his manhood. "I can't help it, auntie. J am as much afraid ot hlin as I ever was." The speaker was Loo, and she sat with Miss Travers in the double-bedded room which they jointly occupied. "I am sorry tor It, my dear," moiled the elder lady gravely; "he seems greatly im- proved. Indeed, I should scaroelv recognize him, and he seems to desire to oe friendly.

But aU these are dreams, auntie. I am afraid I am a dreamer." "I don't know, dear Loo. Dreams such us these should bo an InspiratioD. a source of cour- age and emulation, not of weakness and fear. ■To me such thoughts would make me count Herbert Dorset as nothing, and Instead of being frightened by a man who seems verj' harm- less, and who at the worst was only a mischiev- ous, headstrong boy, I would have my right hand cnt off before I wonld shrink from him." Loo was sUent for a. moment, buried in thought: then she said slowly: 'Yes, I suppose so; I never thought of that. It does seem cowardly, ondyetitisjustthe some feeling that I shouldnave if unawares I put my hand on a black beetle or a snake, or felt them crawling over me. It is repulsion rather than fear, and Is a horrible sensation, till without thought one rushes away from the cause ot it But people have got over this feeling, and have learnt to handle snakes and beetles, and to take an interost in them. Yes, I suppose I can meet Herbert and appear to bo friendly with him it I try. Yes, I will." "WeU, dear, yon will have to decide between one of two courses," said Mat>el gravely, yet kindly. "Either we must leave our plensant friends the Talboys, and ictnm to £nglAiid to- morrow, or we must meet Herbert and Con- stance Dorset on friendly terms." At the mention of the name of Constance an- other involuntary shiver passed over Loo's frame, but she made no comment. "You see," Mabel went on, "It is not as though they were known only to us, then we might avoid them to a certain extent—but it seems that Colonel Talboys met Herbert in India. Yon heard Mrs. Taltrays say sho should call on Constance; there will be Invitations nnd entertainmente on both sides, and we must join in it or go away. Under the circumstances there is no medium course. Which it most be you must decide, for your comfort and happi- ness is dearer to me than my own." "That Is Just Uke you, annUe; yon would give up everything in the world for me; but even it I were so selfish as to take advantage of your kindness might gain nothing. Her- bert would perhaps follow us, or we should .meet himiagaln. Jlo, I must get over my terror —it can scarcely l>e eaUed natural fe£r—and ll Mi; »oon| fr the better. - Don't think'of me any fcore liL,thi«,mittar. audtK bot^ ftftaids ^Herbert or Constonee as though I neither liked nor disliked them.'* "And I doreo^^sm—ui i.. aa-M state of indifference soon?" smUed Mat>el, as the two kissed each other, then rose to join the party, whom they had both left. "I was afraid you had gone to bed," said Jack Talt>oys, with a smile of relief and pleas- ure on his race as the two ladles re-entered the room. 'Oh, nol We thonght yon were so much en- g»»>-» ...ith your cards that you could dispense with our du-.—^„ Bocletv," laughed Loo. ■How are you getting Vi,^-^'-^ f^d«d, walk- ing behind his chair and looking vt-^ hand. "Not very brilliantly; suppose yon help me. See, hearte are trumps." And he showed her his cards, and seemed as though he would be quite contented to talk to her without playing them, till his father sharp- ly caUed his attention to the came, and his mother's impatience and Herbert Dorset's scowls recalled him to the fact that whist is a serious occupation, and must not be treated lightly or slighted in any degree. Loo stayed by Jack's side for a few minotes. when, recol- lecting her convetsatlon with Miss Travers. and U&e determination she had made, she walked on a step or two, and with a shrinking of the heart, it la true, paused behind Herbert Dorset's ohoir. He half turned and looked up at her face, his own handsome in its way, as it naturaUy was, transformed in an Instant with the smile of gratlfled pleasure that came over it, while Loo, naif suiprlsed, half pleased, and a good deal frightened, said: "Dont let me disturb you, Herbert I was only looking at yonr cords." Her involuntarily calllngblm by his Christian name, thongh natural enoagh, quite from want of thought in her agitation, trivial as it was, made the young man's heart bent faster and his cheek flush, while Jack Talboys at once lost heart or interest in the game. She always caUed him Mr. John or Mr. Jack, and he had never yet prenomed, exceptin his own mind, to address her simply as "Loo." "Suppose, mother, we have tea when this game Is over?" ho suggei>ted, "and let us have some music or chat Whist is dreadfully un- soclal^particularly tor those who are not play- ing. Ivhat do you say, Mr. Dorset?" "Yes, I think it would be a pleasant change," assented the guest After this Miss Travels played and Loo sang, Mra, Talboys talked, and the colonel went to sleep. "Do yon never go to the soiree dansante at the Bedoute?" asked Herbert, when the music ceased. "Oh, yes, wo have been once or twice," re- EUed Mabel; "but we go about so muchdnr- ig the de^ that-we are generaUy tired In the evening. Loo and I have been leading sach a quiet Ufe. We are not used'to anytung like dissipation." "Yes; I have heard from home about yon occasIonaUy," replied Herbert; "bnt the in- formation was always very meagre.

Tbe police, however, got wind of It: and aa each party, with their tolloweis, reached the northern end ot Hayo's Bridge they were ordered under arrest mnd bound otot to ke«p the peace, thua atoppln^ what might have ended In a general and bloody fracas. Aa the other two brothers died unnatu- ral deaths. It was leti for John K. Worsbam to die from using hair-dye, which eventually brought on paralysis ot the brain and ended his troubles on Sunday, Hay 26. From my early manhood I have known John A. Wor- and unhesllatlogly say that he was one ot the kindest, moet Ubeml and best ot (rlenda. But let others speak—the widows and orphans, his old servants, and the stem-hearted and bronze-faced sporting-men who went through the sectional war without once qnlrerlng, but who yesterday, at tbe grave ot their deceased trlend, gave vent to their feelings In tears. At 6 -p. M. the funeral procession, composed not alone ot sporting-men or the family ot the departed, but also ot-some of the moet wealthy residents of this city—men ot buslnrss, who believed that John A. Worsham's word was bis bond—filed past In carriages and on toot. And at the toot of a wide-spreading magnolia-tree tbey all assembled around I he grave to listen totho Doctor Houghton of. Richmond—Doctor Curry (and may his little church never be empty !|—who. In an Impressive manner.Which told on hiB hearers, said: "Let the faults of the man tie burled with blm, and allow me to remind yoo that what I am colng to say did not come from the Hps ot his Immediate friends, but from some ot the widows and orphans ot our late unhappy strife. I never knew the man personally, but I am bere to pay hira tribute; for those who told meet his modest goodness and charity, not wishing his right hand to know how much bis left band gave, are members ot my church, and os such I believe their voluntary testimony. And may Ood help them now, as their earthly friend has left forever." After the services were over, the red clay of old Virginia fell on the coflln with a thud, as the spades were handled by bis friends. Knowing well that there are many friends ot the lato John A.
