"Beads, they will be reconciled," she said, more eoniestly than tbe subject seemed to call for. "Talis, and they wiu drift apart anddle in wretch- edness and despair." The tone of ber voice and the eagerness with which she bentlorward to learn the result caused the Count'Valdimir to glance at her In u tter st ir- pilse. Perhaps some vatfue suspicion bad suiung to life in bis mind that In the laie of the flcntloiu heroine It was her own she was deciding. "Blessed are the peacemakers. Miss Estelle," said the author as the corn fell npon the table. "Heads have won, and yon have the thanks ol two more hearts made happy." ^ , Again the Count, looking at her, was pnzzled by tlwezpresslon of her lOce. Shevas silent for a moment or two, bnt at length she broke Into some Jestliig reply, and the conversation soon drifted Into other channels. Tbe time passed so pleasantly that, before the guests were swore how it had gone, the strlkliig of the clocks warned them tbat It was time to de- part. Bidding their hostess good-night, they one byone departed, until only EsteUe and the Count remained. "Allow me also to thank yon," tbe latter said, in the sarcastic tone habltnaltoblm whenaddtess- ing her, "for the dellgbtfDl entertainment yon have given na ttUs evening." Bbe had sunk into a chair and made no reply, while ber hnsband, looking at ber, saw with sur- prise that a tear was trickling down ber cheek. "Panl," she said at lengtb, "come and sit be- side me. I -wish to speak with yon." More completely taken bv snrprlEe than if She had suddenly leveled a pistol at his heart, InsUence he crossed the room and did as she desired. "TonheaidmydeclBionto-nlgbtasto the flcd- tlons hnsband and -wlfet" she said, laying her hand solUy upon his arm as ahe imoke. Still wondering, he slgnUIed his assent. In an Instant she bad cast herself at bis feet. "Paul," she cried entreatlngly, "let the throw also decide our late. I cannotlive as I am doing now, or I sbaU go mad. Ton know I loved yon and you loved me once. Try once more to teach me to love you, and I will endure any bardsblp for yonr sake; but live on as I am dolngnow I cannot, for it wUl km me." She might as well have appealed to a man of bronze, for any feeling of remorse for--Us acts or Slty for her that it awakened in bis caUoiu heart, tiu. in spite of hiioBeif, he was not intenslble to ber beanty of Ikce and lonn, and tbe genius that burned within her overpowered. his reason, and made him believe the words were real. He forgot that she was a great actress, and that he had driven her to despeiatlon. He remembered only tbat she had never belore stooped to plead witn bim. He imagined she was weakening to his will, and was ^ad of tbe mood that, woiked still nmher upon, wonld make her subservient and the tool ol his base designs. "Tbe feud was not of my making, EsteUe," he said In a tone of simulated tendemecs. ■Hylove for you has never died, and my acts, which now fill me with remorse, were tbe result of weaknecs against the force of clrcomstances and tbe need of money." ' The tone of regret that vibrated in bis voice would have deceived most women, bnt Estelle knew it was but feigned. She knew his beart was evil as ever It had teen, and that, like herself he was bnt acting a part. Spite of heneu; she could not reprers an Involnntaiy shudder as he placed hlsaimalwnt ber waist and drew her nearer to him. "It Is very cold," she said, rising hastily. "I got <»hniiwi in the dressing-room, and 1 have been aur- eimgeTar Since." As ahe spoke she crossed the room to the table, and,'ialsiogtbe decanter, poured out two glasses of wine.

She paused, almost exhaosted by tbe intensity of tier passion. The man waited a moment or two belbre be answered: "Suppose that, knovring your intentton, I am l>e- DorehOBd 'with yon; that I Inform Lord Clavers of tbe some stary to a certain extent, merely coloring a few ttelB to suit myself; that I ten hlinthat, when Imetyon first, yoa were in rags In tbe slumsof nris, where chastity even in ctilldhoad u s thing unknown; that, struck by the beauty of your Ikce, I placed you in Uie care of the Bisters ol St. Cece- lia; that 1 grew to love you, and wonld have made yoa my wile, only the teaching and habits of your previous life could not be eradicated; that even now yon have more than one lover In secret.'

CHAPTER 'VI.—THB KZZT KomnMG. Her bands clasped wildly to her forehead, and a very whirlwind of mingled Ikiut and trlnmnh sweeping through ber bresst, EsteUe rose Irom be- side tbe tmcoDsclous man. For a moment or.two It seemed to her aa If vrltb the reaction of ber pent-up feeUngs ahe most feint. Only the thought that as yet she had bnt partlaUy triumphed ras- tolned her. The despeiate scheme she bad deter- mined npon was only Jnst begun. stlD, so weak tiad both her vital and mental force become from tbe long-snstalned stialn upon them that she almost repented ol what she baddone. or wbat avail had been the degradation and tbe socrl- nce she vTas about to moke t To relinquish aU the feme she hod won for tbe privilege of going ont alone again to a hand-to-hand straggle with the world for a bore existence.

Until aU hope is dead otur mortal bodies cannot die. and It was for the sake of this shadow of a bope she Uved. She loved Lord Clov- ers, and It was for the thought that some day this love might arise glorified from tbe shadows aroand it tbat Abe was leaving lome bebind her and going into exile. She bad dismissed ber maid more than an hour before, and, passing from the boudoir Into the ad- joining bedchamber, she removed her evening dress and arranged herself Ino plain traveling- suit. A smaU valise wss already packed with ber most valuable Jewels and a few necessory articles of apparel, and, taking it In her hand, she returned to the bonuolr. For a moment she pause!, regard- ing the beovUy breathing man who lay upon the lounge with a glance such as might be Inspired by some deadly, slumbering reptile. Tben, passing from the room, merely closing and not locnng tbe door, she descended the stairs, and a few moments laterstood in tbe street. A cab chanced to be slowly passing, and she hailed It at onoe. Tbe man waa Inclined to be Btuly at llret, saying his borse was too tired: bnt tbe promise of donble fhre quickly restored his complacency, and, entering, she ordered blm to drive to the Royal ArUngton Theatre. The doorkeeper Uved in a small bouse In the side-street where tbe stsge-entionce was. She Imew the rooms be occupied, and was pleased to see a Ught stin burning In the window. She rang the beU. and in a few minutes the door was opened by tbe doorkeeper himaeli; wbo looked the surprise he flelt at seeing Hlsa Uordaunt there at sucD an honr. The words that were rising to bis lips she checked with an impatient gesture. "I am called away from the city very suddenly " she said, "and I want to entrust yon with a mess- age. Do yon know Lord ClaveiBt" ■The 'andsome young genileman wIUcli. beggln' ?aiir pamoD, does olten come to see you 'omet es. mlsa, I knows bim weU."

The manager wiu be sore ta know." "There is no need to ask anyone. He Uvea in Belgravla. The number Is on this card. Take this there early to.morrow morning, and give It Into no one's hands but bis own." As ahe spoke she drew a small packet from her tnsomand gave it,'with the cord, intobu hands. It was closely sealed, bnt bore no addresa "Ton WlU not lose it or give It to any person but himself t" ahe asked aazlouBly. "I know my bosinesa, miss, and you can depend upon me." "Very well," she said, placing a sovereign In his hand. "Remember, eany In the morning, and give It to no one bnt blmselC*' TH not forget, miss," tbe man sold, and, thank- ing him, EsteUe moved away to where the cab was waiting, at the comer of the street. Once more seating heisel^ she gave the driver ordera to drive at once to tbe railwsy-statloo. In leas than half an boor the station was reached. As she entered the depot the clocks were striking two. and the ex- £icss-troin fer Dover was Just on the point of start- ig. Ten minutes later she wos dashing towards the coast at the rote of sixty miles an hour. IVben the dawn broke, with a purple glory on sky and sea, she stood watcblng the wlilte CIISB fede into the dlatonce from the deck of the steamer for CaUls. It was nearly on honr loter before the same dawn penetrated tbe fog and smoke that brooded - Uke some gigantic bird with outstretched wings above Loodon, na tbe streets began to resonnd with the footsteps ot in busy mlOlons aa they hnr ried to begin a new day's work.
