Madam Jhindus refreshes herself 1 with ft siysjfa behind tin* curtaina i?? , dining-room, and comes out again gracious and smiling to hor guests. Miss Lafnrgo glows like a star of tho < brightest radiance. Her bluo o.yos are jdenr and bright as summer skies. She l smiles like an angel, and quite forgets for tho timo being to snap her littlo I white teeth at anybody. tSlio is socrotly deterntined in hor own mind to bring tho gallant Captaiu to her feet to-night, but this task is | nioro diltieult than she at first imagines it will 1 in ho. Tho Captain lias angled some in his own tinio, and though ho at oneo nibl^cs dolieately at tho bait thrown out by his fair guest, ho is too experienced a tish to at once swallow it, hook and all. J.oo watclios tho pair socrotly. ftho loses hopo and almost bolioves that tho Captain is in love with Miss Lafargo, after nil. 15: t, outwprdly, she is as gay as tho rest v f them, ami never loses a dance, bo it wait/, or galop, or tho stately old cotillion. Kho receives enough attention to turn tho head of another ahd enjoys it after a fashion, loo. Hut sho is not sorry wbou tho clock strikes ono and tho revolers begin to disporso. Still, 1 tho Captain hovers near Miss I?afarge. i ? Madam sits in a great carved chair near tho open door of tho hall as tho 1 guests cotno down tho stairs, wrapped and ready for departure.

Ho goes along with tho tray to tho great carved chair iu which she is reclining. Miss l.nfurgo has disappeared in tho dressing-room at tho head of tho staircase. She now appears a vision of blondo lovolinoss in her white etnbroidored e\oiling wrap9, as tho voice of Obo sings out slowly : "Carringo for Stubbloliold. Carriago for Miss Ijafurge." Now she lloats down tho staircase. Flio Captain, like tho gallant gcntlovw linn that lio really is, stands near V^bidain, ready to hand Miss Jjnfargc to < 1 "5|ngo. Jo...

At tho mention of Miss Lafarge's name, tlio-kort, spiat person standing sow of tho casement poors T1(T futo the light and stares nt' l\L ? *J the floating figure. He is curious to seo tho kiud-neartod lady who was yesterday too ill to grant him an intoi view. Now. at the announcement of her nauio ho leans slightly forward, and ns sho comes under tho full glare of tho gas light curiosity gives wav to am izoment. This emotion is quickly displaced by 0110 of overpowering rage, for he glancos at hor with tho ?yes o? a devil. Totally unconscious of the effect hor prosonco has producod on the soi-ilisant sorvant, Miss I.nfargogracefully approaches tho great carvod chair whero | Madam is seated, to say her adieus. Kibboy slirinl s back away from her, | his hands shafting ho thartfce crrps mt- 1 tie on tho tray ho is holding. i Captain Hazard steps toward hor as i sho panscs in front of Madam. Miss i Lnfargo opens lior pretty mouth, and i rays in her silvery voico how much sho i )ias enjoyod tlio ovening; says somothing pretty about tlio pleasure Madam has Riven her, and glances casually for the tii'fit tinio at tho butler. What she boo* in that scared face r>roducos a stranRO eflcct upon my ady. Tho light fades from her eyes, tho bloom loaves her lovely face. She looks away, partly recovering herself, and gives tho Captain hor hnnd. "I am not feeling well, I think," is what she says, faintly. "With your permission, Madam, I will bid you goodnight." She stoops before Madam, then turns toward the Captain. An*ovil countenance, on which is written cvory evil emotion known to the human he rt. lieors at her from the shadows of tho stairs down which she , has just come. Mis* Lafargo sees this faeo. She retreats two steps. White foam begins * to gather upon her livid lips. "Jutfilh," says n low and warning J" voico. llor teeth chatter. A sudden chill freezes tho very marrow iu lier bones. "Judith." v Now b'uu shrieks. A long, wihl . p'orcing shriek, that rings ihroug'nout . tho houso?a shriek that paralyzes _ Madam in her cliair?a shriek lliat c fotches the guests from tho chambers? B a shriek that brings the servants from below stairs?the policemen from tho ' park grounds. The butler drops his tray and it falls ' crashing to tho tloor. He looks im- " ploringly at Hazard, who stands trans- . tixod with astonishment. l'eoplo crowd into tho hall; guests 8 and sorvants mingle confusodly to- , -j .41 . ' Miss Lafarge sees nobody, nothing but tho evil faco and twinkling rod eyes ^ of the stranger. She shrieks again. Suddenly she rushes toward him; her eyes look like blue Humes, she loans upon him liko a t tigress, and, snapping, snarling, buries her little white teeth repeatedly in his T llesh. How liko abeaut'ful demon sho looks c as sho snarls, and growls, and bitoB. c But it is a si -koning sight. f U1AI IftU AYXI. I. MAD. I >HE jioliconion know their duty and do it. They J aoizo her.

( Miss Lafargo bursts into a peril of ringing laughter.
