' Tlieir only child Sybil was now 0 years old, and of a beauty so rare and delicate as to cause the sternest land ladies to melt and the most obdurate creditors to soften when thev saw- her. She was literally the idol of both pa rents, and when the Brat welcome gleams of, success came, : their Orst thought was that they would be able to give their one treasure a good edu cation and a permanent home. For a few mouths thiugs had looked very bright, and then, just at the end of the season, Jock had a fall and dislocated his kuee. It proved to be a long, troublesome business, and it was, of course, impossible for him to get an en gagement, Jls bad luck would have it, the "Sothcrn" was changing hands, and the manager, to whom he owed much kindness, had gone to America. ll had been a hot summer, but the llesseltines had been obliged to give up their pretty little house in St. John's Wood, and to go into inexpen sive lodgings. They would. liave been better on in the country," but Jack was so sancruine of sneedv recovery . and so fearful of having to return to the old drudgery if he once heft Lou don, that he insisted upon remaining there. Nothing seemed to hurt tiybil, who for all her fairness was very healthy. - She made friends every where, and attracted a good deal of kindly attention. Ono (lay, as lira. Hesseltine sat sew ing and dunking sadly of unpaid bills and it cloudy future, she was inter rupted by the entrance of an untidy servant, who announced with ' mani fest awet "Miss Iesanges and Mr. Melton." Everybody knows beautiful Viola Desaugcs, with her storm life history- and her brilliant artistic gifts. Amy Hesseltine had pften admired ber upon the stage, and rose to receive her nmgiiiflcently arrayed visiibr, a little conscious of her own poor dress and of the shabby room, - Miss Dceaiiges-saw iu a moment that she bad to deal with a lady, and said with ber own special wiunins sweefc oess of manner: "1 hope you will for give what seem like an - intrusion when 1 explain its cause. liui ueiore J do this, may 1 introduce to you Mr. Melton, the author cf 'Passion Flow ers,' the forthcoming new play at the 'Parthenon f It was to have been brought out in three weeks, but a very erioua obstacle has occurred, likely to tit lay its production.

"It is like a dream to rue I ! to think that my play will soon be brought out with you as its heroine,' ; I said llorace Melton, after a ' pause, j ; "Like all poets, 1 have my queer fan-1, ! cies, and I cannot help tuinking that ;' such a child as this must bring rood i fortune with tier. She is like one of tho , vi&irtna nf t fiA old mnfttarenf th nnirnla watching round the Holy Child." ; Miss Desanges sighed. There was something odd and unworldly about this young man. - lie had a strange way of speaking his thoughts aloud that fascinated Tier by its simplicity,' She felt that he et least believed her to be a good woman, and his faith ir ber was more precious than tht tv cense poured at her feet by a host of adorers, to all of wuom sue was equal 1 v uld.

All these thoughts flitted through ncr oraiu ns sne sat mere - oimpiu . and poor, as were all ber surround iligs, she knew intuitively that she wus in a happy Lome, contrasting Amy Ilesselliue a lot curiously with -ber own splendid misery. . i Meanwhile, in the next room, Amy was hurriedly explaining to her hus band what had happened. At first bis negative was as emphatic as her . own, but she could see that his father-; ly pride was much gratified by the visit of tho great actress. "If you will give me my crutches I will go in and see Miss Desanges myself, and in spite of his crutches Jock looked so . handsome when ho made his appear ance that be inspired both visitors with very sincere pity.

Miss Desanges was sim ply delighted when she bad gained ber point; she was so rich that she could well afford to be generous, but the terms she offered were far higher than she had at tirst intended. . "Perhaps Mrs. Hesseltine, yoo would kindly briog Lcr down to meat the theatre to-morrow, at about 12 o'clock, iusl to try ber. 1 am not afraid.

He could scarcely remember the time when he had not loved Viola Desanges. but lie was a man of honor, , and he knew that she was married, K Latterly she had been more miserable than usual, and then ono memorable night each had guessed tho secret ol the other, and the knowledge had ' brought a bitter sweet rapture that was mora liko pain than gladness. Viola was the stronger now, since little golden Jiaireu teacher bad taught her sweet lessons of patience and forgiveness. Sho was learning to ' be bravo in her resignation.
