The butler writhes away from tho
greap of tho angry father. In the
rapidly growing darkness his face is
rendprod indistinguishable. Could
Frederic Bolton bc o that face as it
looks now, ho would fear for his life.
"I am Kibbev, tho butler ot Bywator

"Hearth!" again ejaculates Mr. Bolton.
"I am not mistaken in that voice."
lleforo Kibboy is awaro of Bolton's
intention, Bolton strikes a match, and
holds it exultinglv in the butler's face.
wf think if this young lady should goto
Madam, and tell her the past history of
Kibbcy tlio butler, that. Kibboy the
butler would be summarily dismissed
from By water Park," said Bolton
tantalizinglv. "I feel snro that is what
the end of this affair will come too. As

and thorn is no law in America that
will doprivo her of her father's society.

?hod you not bettor try to mako some

"Send the lady away and I will talk

her to go away. She is already flitting,

curiously choked and low. "Only it

Set into a good place than something
appens to prevent mo from enjoying

"No crookedness around Bywater
Park," says Bolton, warningly.
"Of course not. I'm going away
now; or, at least, I will go directly
after Madam's party. She gives a party
T teadny evening in honor of Miss l.oo."
,kShodoes?" Bolton is interested.
"It is to bo a swell "affair," says Ribbey,
disconsolately. "I'm so sorry to
loave Bywater Park before it conies off.
Jnst my infernal luck, though."
"Are vou trvinar to live hnnnnt.lv
"Trying! 1frhy, I am."
Tho butler is fumbling with a roll of
something which he has drawn from'
his pookot.
"1 wrn doing fine till M>?s Tjoo came
hero, h'ho knew me, or thought she
did, which amounts to tho same thing,
you know. I've lived in terror ever

"She won't tell if yon behave yourself,"
Bolton says, shortly.
"I hate to lose inv situation," Kibbey
replies, insinuatingly; "and I ought to
be lot nlono a earning a honest living,
it sooms to me. Every man has the
right to earn a honest living if ho can."
"Slcs," assents Bolton.
"And I am saving up mouoy," coos
on Kibbey, moro insinuatingly still,
"it is awful hard luck to be thrown out

" Why, I might go away and not report

"Oh, If you only would I"
Kibbey presses the "something" which

bonds.
"Here's two hundred dollars as I'to

"No," replied tho butler,-hurriedly;
"no monkeying, I promise 'you." '
An-l I cforo Poltqn cau sny another

"I shan't' need Loo's locket, aftor

nmk<n Irs way back to his hotel, "and

Mrs. McUill.cuddy quiet for mouths to

Mr. IJolton roaohos his inn, writos a
few lines to I on, telling her that he
lias unexpectedly received a remittance
and that ho will thoreforo cancel the
engagement for Tuosilay evening,
blows out his catid'o, and in high goodhumor
w.tli himself and tho world,
jumps into he 1.
Not so with tho butler.
Kil>l>ey rushes away to his room at

i ionsly into a chair, shakes two lints at

anathematizes as "that d d l'olton,"

mutters, gloomily. "If I leave, and
of course /II have to leave after this,

Now tho butler fotclies pens, ink and

tho luitler, eying bis blurrod epistle

for tlioy behave with tolerablo deconcy
whenovor Miss J.afnrgo rides behind

With one exception, everybody at
Btubbleliold adores Miss Chidley'f
"Doar Marion." Obe is tho solitary
oxcoption. But, as Miss Chidlcy vory
tru'y remarked, "Obe was always on
the contrary side, anyway, and his opinion
was of no consequence."
At first Miss Lafarge refused to believo

and theroupon brought the entire
battory of lior sweet smiles, her

to bear upon the black boy.
But her efforts wore all without the

and only watched her tho more

and felt moro suspicions still of tho
charming young lady.

And perhaps tins wr\s trne.
Fiitdiug'hcr oflorts were wasted upon

Shu sits now, quito unconscious of
ovory tiling around her, llio too of her
small rod slipper peeping coquetlishly
out from tlio hotn of her whilo gown,
and Madam Dundas' card of invitation
in her hand.
ISIiss Chidley, round and roly-poly,
reclines cnnfoi tably on a divan near
tlio enchantress.
"Dear Marion" has often tlioso spells
of comploto abstraction, and Miss Chidley
lias at last becoino well enough acquainted
with her young relative to
know when a "lit is en," uud keep silence
accordingly.
Miss Lnfnrgo btnrts from hor revcrio
with a suddennoss that takes the spinster's
breath away.
"You blessod old thing," cries dear
Marion, springing up from her chair,
and embracing her relative affectionately,
"you havon't said a word for a
month. Speak now, and say if we artf
to accept the invitation to Bywator.
I'll own that I am longing to go there."
"Then the alTiiir is settled," says tbo

The look of fright upon her faoe n
deepens into one of nlrect torror. Ilor t
teeth chatter. A chill shakes her from 3
head to licel. Her face is ghastly; her v
lips livid. "I ost!" who mutters huskily ^
between her dry lips, "lost!" 1
Miss Chidlo3" gazes at her in aston- .
islunent. "You are ill, Marion. What

Miss Lafargo evidently docs not hoar

"Marion, you need seo no one, if you
chooso not to," Miss Chidley says,
reassuringly. "What has frightened
you?"
Miss I.afargo is shaking like an
aspou; still sho makes 110 reply.
The parlor door swings open and
Obe's woolly head is thrust into the
room. "A gentleman to soe Miss Lafargo,"
says Obo, placing a card in

Her bluo eyes glance ovor the nemo
written on tho card, and a wilder terror
leaps into them.

to aotuaily grow smaller?to wither and
