C,April 3.���[Special.]���Mr. Horne moved the resolution of which he had given notice recommending to the Dominion government tho establishment of a quarantine station and hospital at or n ar Vancouver. Mr. Horne refused to withdraw the resolution, with which, he said, the C.P.R. is in accord, Mr. Abbott having assented to it, and as he (Mr. Horne) considered Vancouver the proper place for the quarantine station anyhow. He had been asked to move the resolution by men more competent to judge than are the members ot the legislature. Mr. Hunter remarked that no doubt if the superintendent of the C.P.R. said a quarantine station should be built at Vancouver it would have to be done. (Laughter) The motion waB lost., only three members votinsr for it. Sword's Amendment Lo��t. The amendment by Mr. Sword on the Nioomeu Slough Bill was lost on division, and the resolution, with the words added by the mover, was carried. Creditors' Trust Deeds.

He said he had been requested by a number of his constituents to ask for this return. Motion agieed to. Consolidated Statutes. Hon. Mr. Beaven moved: "That this House is of opinion that whenever two or more statutes bearing upon the same subject ur.* combined and issued from the printing office prior to the consolidation being legalized by the Legislative Assembly, that the p .tophi, t su issued shall bear an endurse- ment indicating tliut the consolidation had not been bu legalized, but that the original statutes cuutd be perused in the annual volume, meuti iniug it." Hou. Mr. Davie moved that the debate* bo adjourned, which was agreed to. Privilege. Huu. Mr. Beaven, on a question of privilege, took exception to the Speaker's summary of his objections to the introduction of the Government measure respeciiug the Hors.fly Hydraulic Mining Company, as In- said only one of several objections he bud made appeared upon the record in the decision of the Speaker.

Ou consideration of the report on the bill establishing councils of labor conciliation and arbitration, Hon, Col.

He explained that this change waB in accordance with the views expressed in committee by Mr. Brown, aud which seemed to meet with general approval. Report as amended agreed to. Mineral Claim Assessments.

Hon. Col. Baker said he had no doubt that the placer miners are also entitled to consideration, and if an amendment in thia direction were made he would heartily support it. He thought the oondition of affairs in the Kootenay last year amply justified the resolution now before the House, which he therefore cordially endorsed. At 1 p. m, tho House rose; to meet again at 2:30. After fuither discussion the amendment to the Mineral Act offered by Mr. Kellie was adopttd; and the report on the bill also was adopted. Bill read a third time and passed. Public School Aet. The House again went into committee on the bill to amend the Public School Act, 1891, and Amending Acts.

Mr. Grant presented a petition against the law requiring the closing of saloons from 11 p.m. Saturday until midnight on Sunday as an inconvenience to those who wish to obtain refreshments during those hours. The petitioners ask that the hours for remaining closed ou Sunday be from 6 a. m. tu 1 p.m. ana from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Hon.

Ye Olde Worlde's Fayre. Ye Olde Worlde's Fayre entertainment given at the Opera House last night was an unqualified success, from a social, financial aud artistic poiut of view. The programme consisted of ten scenes, all of which gave evidence of careful preparation and rehearsal, reflecting great credit on the performers and the fair manageress, Mrs (Dr.) Davis, who must have worked hard to at- tatu such thorough perf<etioo. Scene I. was au openiug chorus by the orchestra and full oompany, in which Miss A. Glaholm and Messrs. Fiauk Charlton and Fred Field sang solos. In lhe sec. nd setue Mr. Chas. Charlton Bang a song of the "Coster's Courtship." Scene III waa entitled the "Sheriff of Not- tlugham," by the orchestra. Mr. Frank Charlton agun rendered a s.*lo in very good style. The Tambourine March and Di ill, which coustitutetl scene IV., was the feature of the eveniug ami called forth 1'apturuus applause aud loud demands for an encore, to which the sixteen young ladies with Miss Rose King as captain, pleasantly responded. Number five of the tableaux very much cirants, comprised a "Drinking Soug" rendered by the following quiutette: Messrs. P. B. Fowler, F. Charltou, G. Bate, Fred. Field and Chas Charltou. '"Won't You be My Sweetheart?'' was asked iu song aud sweetly sung by Miss May Hague, who was well aBsi��ted by the chorus. This made uumber six on the performance. Number seven feature was devoted to "Tim Toolan," the Hibernian being ably expounded aud represented by Mr. Gus. Bate who was twice encored. Mr. live pioved himself to be quite a capable artist iu character soug. Scono VIII preseutod all the young la.lies us "Gypsies" asking in song to tell fortunes, When grouped in a semi-circle srouud the soloist, Miss A. Glah lm, who sang in a churmiug manner, this made a very pretty Bceiic. Number nine on lhe programme included auother comic song by Mr. G. Bate, who was again cucored. In the linal scene, Mrs. (Dr.) Davis sang a solo, assisted by the chorus, entitled "Legend of the Chimes." This and "God Save the Queen" brought a most pleasant and thorougly enjoyable evening's entertainment to a close. Following are the names of the young ladies who assisted in the Tambourine March and the choruses: Miss Maud McGregor, MtsB Haarer, Miss Wilson, vliss G. Simpson, Miss Johnson, Miss M. Hague, Miss M.

Was there an accusing note in their shrill chorus? Or did ho from an unexplained sense of guilt only fancy it? He stole like a thief through the deserted hulls. When he had locked the door of his room, ho threw himself half disrobed upon the bed and sank into a feverish, broken sleep. It was a sleep of gLreams. He was again in Glendemring'a house, filling his senses with a surfeit of the delicious coloring, tho evasive fragrance, wandering among the treasures gathered from mosques and throne- rooms, tho rugs everywhere ohangefully glowing like huge chameleon skins, the armor looming with feudal significance In shadow. His memory floated back to a blur of wine anil smoke; the soft bite of the champagne was again in his throat, its delicate fire mounting to his brain and shedding over it a confusion Bot't and witchlike. Nor did lie forget the jesting slings at things he had hitherto viewed as sacred, nor the laughter that turned virtue to ridicule, They were recalled with the same genial palliation that had marked his acceptance of them. The rosy light, the crowd where women fluttered like bright lined butterflies, the evidences of reckless wealth on every hand, the complete absence of all restraint, hatl captured hiin, and in it mental saturnalia he heard the toasts and saw the money changing hands at cards, the refrains of songs that shook the windows and the dances that called forth screaming cheers. As half wakeful he tossed upon his bed his memory reveled in ev vy detail of this newphase of life���a wildly joyous thing, hold:.*���; no thought of the morrow, only the delight of the dear, the living moment. A faint tapping sounded through the nebula?. At first il seemed that Glen- denning was knocking on tho table for silence. No, it was rain beating on the window. But as i; sounded still clearer and woke him to full consciousness In* opened his In avy eyes and listened. Some one was gently knocking at his door. "Tom," came sofcly to him, ''hero are lotters for you." Virginia'." voice! Restarted np, leaned his head on his hands, but kept silence. The gay delirium of his dream departed, and he felt sick at heart. He seemed strange to himself. The room was strange. Only Virginia outside tho door calling to him was fearfully real. ~��2m ��� mM Virginia outside, the door calling to him. If she should sc-e him. she would know ���she might even guess from his voice��� that he was He could not finish the thought. "Tom, it's 2 o'clock. Aro you ill? Don't yon hoar me?" And now tho voice had tm accent of fear. 111? Yes, that would be his excuse. And surely it was true. A dreadful nausea surged through him; redhot pinchers seemed holding billhead. Feigning a yawn, he coughed and said: "Who's there?" "Oh, you are awake at last. Sir Lazybones, do you know it is well on in the afternoon?" He made no answer. Virginia must not see him; she must not know. That was all he could think of as he sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped to his hot forehead, "Your lunch is ready now. Will you be out soon? Mr. Pluuket lias sent over ��� dozen or more letters from the theater." "I'm not well, Virginia, I couldn't eat a thing. Let the loiters wait." Silence followed for a moment, and he conld fancy the undeserved pity in her sweet eyes. "Isn't there something I can doto help you? Isn't there something that would tempt you to eat? I must go out, but I'd like to leave you comfortable first." "Nothing, thank you. My head is aching, that's all. A little quiet, and I'll be all right. You mustn't wait in on my account." "You've worked too hard, Tom," came the delicious voice with tender severity. "The strain is telling now. No wonder yonr head aches, you poor fellow. I'm sorry I called you. I'll leave lunch ready tor you." And rtie added with determination, "Now do try and eat a little by and by." She gave a short sigh as she turned away, and Tom felt himself a monster of deceife He remained quite still, with closed eyes, and something very like self contempt flowered in his heart. In one wild night he had become better acquainted with himself and the dark possibilities of his nature than in all the peaceful years gone by. Weak! That was the word an elfin voice seemed whispering in his ear.

W. J. GALLAGHER, Manager Daily Telegram. A PROPOSED REFORM OF LORDS THE Late news t" hand states that, thengi'a- tion against, the House of Lords is rapidly gainiig strength. Three members of the Commons, all hoirs to peerages, who uro Baid to be living in daily dread of their elevation to the Upper House, have prepared a bill and given notice nf its introduction to change the present order of things, and enact that a person entitled to the peerage shall have the option of remaining in the House of Commons if he is a member of it at the time of his succession to the House of Lords, or of offering himself as a candidate for a seat in the Commons, in preference to taking his seat in the upper House. The three gentlemen who are responsible for this bill are Hon. Wm. Freemantle Brodrick, member of Parliament for Surrey; Hon. Geo. N. Curzon, member for South Lancashire; and Viscount VVolmer, member for West Edinburgh. These gentlemen are all young, able and ambitious, and regard a translation to 'he Upper Houae as a practical stilling of their career as politicians. Hence the effort they are making to bring about a change. The announcement of the proposed bill has created widespread comment. The Radicals hold that if it becomes law it will deplete the House of Lords of all its ablest men and leave it altogether without vitality; but they also contend that the residuum would still be able to offer as much resistance to the House of Commons as the Lords can offer under the present condition of things. What course they will take with regard to the bill is not yet known. The Conservatives also recognize the fact that the bill would have a direct tendency to weaken the House of Lords, by depriving it of its ablest members and gradually transferring them to the Lower House. Thus it is held that if such a bill were passed Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Rosebery, the Earl of Kiniberlty, the Duke of Argyle, and Lord Spencer would soon find seats for themselves in the House of Commons. Tins is no doubt the fact. The introduction of such a bill is tho severest blow yet struck agaiust lhe House of Lords, and itB pisxage would unquestionably be followed either by the abolition of the Upper House or its extensive reform. The latter will have to come in any case in a few years at most. It, i3 not probable that the bill will pass this session; in point of fact, the place on the notice paper may not be even reached. When it does come up for dis cussion it will no doubt be supported by the Radicals, and opponents of the Upper House generally, on the ground that if it became law it would tend to weaken the House of Lords and hasten the period of its reform or abolition. As to the bill itself, the demands made in it seem only reasonable. If a man has a seat in the House of Commons he ought to be allowed to retain it, so long, at least, aB his constituents are satisfied, and not be compelled to immure himself in a Chamber, no matter how dignified, in which, so far as the successful prosecution of his political career was concerned, he would feel himself literally bnried alive. This sacrifice should not be demanded by law of any man, whether he is the son of a peer or the son of a beggar. If tbe passing of the law makes further reforms of the House of Lords necessary, let inch reforms be made, and let the peers and their heirs like other people have fair play -before the law. Ho.v. Mr. Foster has Btatcd in the House of Commons at Ottawa that the Bite of the Victoria public buildings had cost $75,000. It had been purchased from the Canada WeBtern Hotel Company. The Government did not know who the persons were that composed the company. On Saturday night last a daatardly attempt was made to blow up the News printing establishment in Toronto by throwing a 241b. I* eg of blasting powder through a back window, with a lighted fuse attached. Fortunately the bung hole of the barrel was too tightly plugged, and the fuse burnt out before the fire reached the ponder. The death of Dr. Brown-Si quard, of Paris, who three or four yearB ago made himself notorious by his alleged ilis.iovery of an elixir that would indefinitely prolong life, i*i announced. Dr. Brown-Sequard waB a scientific enthusiast and physician,who was for many years past devoted to experimental Investigation on physiological subjects, with the result 'hat he at last persuaded himself that he had succeeded in discovering an elixir by which human life might be greatly prolonged. His own death iB the best reply to his theories. He was well known, not only in France, but in Great, Britain and America, where he often delivered short courses of lectures to physicians and students on his favorite subjects. There waa no reason, we believe, to doubt his perfect sincerity, and hones'y,but Old Death has at last proved too tough an antagonist for him, as he has for all the rest of the sons of Adam hitherto. Some two years ago he announced that he was quite convinced that he had succeeded in adding ten yeara to hiB own life. Parties of men aggregatingseven al hundreds, belonging to what, they call the Industrial Army, are parading in various parts of the United States at present, with Washington for their goal. What they will do there when they arrive, or what good they will be able to accomplish for themselves or any one else is not apparent. But all the same they continue to tramp diligently along muddy and snow-covered roads, in showery and very often stormy weather. Tlie so-called army seems to be composed mostly of tramps and persons out of employment. The army appears to subsist on contributions obtained at, the towns along its route. Ou the whole the men appear to lave hitherto oonduott-d themselves well. Beyond a li'tle raiding on tamers' hen roosts anil pantrieB, iheie l,as been no plundering, and no violence. These movements of semi-org tnized bodies of men through the ci untry uro a a\*i;gerouH sign ol the times, whioh may easily lead to more trouble. Waul ot work anil food is doubtless the cause. On Monday a parade of several hundred m��n of the local industrial army took place at San Francisco. Some of them stated that they were hungry, hnpo- less, and discouraged. They appealed for contributions, but met with very lillie success. Sacramento was the point for which they uere lirsl heading, theuee Washington. How they mean to cross ihe R**eky moumaius and the plains beyond, without provisions, tents, or commissariat of any sort, ismo*e than wa cau imagiue. The whole thing seems an undei taking of desperate men, which cm only result disastrously for the mioguided people engaged in it, and is very likely to end in pillage aud loss of life. The United States Governmeut ought to put a stop to the movement, and make arrangements where necessary to feed the homeless and hungry wanderers. The problem presented seems a very difficult one to deal with wiBely. When you want, first-olass job printing remember the Daily Teleoram.

Sharp was presented with a congratulatory address on hisProvidential escape from harm on the 13th March last. The address, signed by the Secretary and Chief Ranger, read as follows : "To Alexander Sharp, Esq., Court Hon. Robert Dunsmuir, No. 7854, A. 0. F., Wellington, Biitish Columbia, desires to express its abhorrenco at the dastardly outrage perpetrated on the morning of the 13th of Maroh, 1804, at your residence, by the firing of a bomb, to the endangering of your life and properly. "It also cougra'uUtes you on your Providential escipa from ail personal harm; and it desires furthermore o express its sympathy with Mrs. Sharp aud sister on their naturally shocked sensibilities at the outrageous act. "As a brother of our honorable order, we extend to yon and your family our satisfaction at your continued safety; and as men, we ardently hope the miscreant and accomplices may speedily be brought to justioe. "Wishing j ou and your family continuance of prosperity, unmenoced by villainy and free from all harm and danger, and hoping you will long live in health and happiness, we subscribe ourselves, on behalf of Court Hon.

Tho Victoria Railway and Light Co. shows a pretit for the last three mouths of ��5,000. The British Columbia Jockey Club met yeaterday afternoon at 13 Cordova street, Vancouver. There were large congregations in St. Andrew's church, Vancouver, ou Sunday morniug and eveniug to hear Rev. Robt. R. Maitland of Nanaimo. Ss. Empress of India, Captain Marshall, sailed on her 15 h outward voyage yesterday afternoon from Vancouver. Sho has a large cargo this trip, as usual consisting principally of flour, while she will take a good many saloon passengers. During the past month 2,510 books were issued by lhe Vancouver libiarian anil 78 tickets were given to new members. During the month of March last 2,171) books were issued. The increase iu tlie patronage of this institution is a healthy sign. Arrangements for the Victoria Cance club's first annual ball, to be held on the 13th iiist. at the Mount Baker hotel, Oak Bay, are all but complete. The members expect to spend a most enjoyable time. The dancing public should keep the date before them. Officers of the navy have accepted an invitation. Au ex-Catholic priest goiug under the name of Prof. Rudolph is lecttiling in cities along the coast, and as he is liable to visit British Columbia, people hud better be on the lookout for him, aa he is reported to be a little bit careless about settling bills. He forgot, among other things, to pay his hall rent at Tacoma. Miss Mary Giffney of Vancouver was arrested on a warrant taken out by a young man named McLennan, who charges her with the larceny of a parrot. Miss Giffney says that she used to live with McLennan and that he made her a present of the parrot last Christmas and that they having quarreled he has taken this step to make her give it back. It is expected that the Alaska boundary commission will arrive in Victoria in about a week or ten days, prior to commencing their operations for the coming season. Practically the staff will be the same as last year, and the few vacancies that have arisen in the interim have been filled, so that the several parties will arrive complete. Rev. Father Yoike, brother of F. M. Yorke and Mrs. Theodore Davie of Victoria has been made vicar-general of the archdiocese of San Francisco. He is scarcely past 30 years of age, but is regarded alieadyas one of the brightest minds in the Roman Catholic church iu the weat. The news of his elevation to this important post was received with pleasure by his relatives and friends iu Victoria David Jones and Wm. Sieward appeared in Vancouver Police Court to a charge under Section 121 of the Code. The evidence was partly put in when Mr. Armstrong on behalf of the prisoners requested a remand as the charge was of a most serious nature punishable by imprisonment for five years with a whipping and the prisoners had not had opportunity to retain and instruct counsel. The case was accordingly remanded to thia morning. The Victoria Colonist says: "Only those having copies of the catalogue, which may be obtained at Cuthbert k Co's auction rooms, will be admitted to the premises at the sale of the fumiiure of Mrs. E. M. Cameron's handsome residence, 314 Vales stieet on Tuesday next. This is done to exclude mere curiosity seekers. The furniture is of a very high order, and it is to be sold for what it will bring." This is, indeed, the height of exclusiveness. Governor Moresby, of New Westminster, received word by telegraph that Mr. VV. J. Moggridge, one of tho proprietors of the Belle Meade farm, Hall's Prairie, had been shot by burglars on Friday night. Mr. Moresby immediately left for the scene and will thoroughly inveatigate the case. Mr. Moggridge has been living alone since the departure of Mr. C. D. Moggridge to England some time ago. The burglars were probably aware that Mr. Moggridge had been in town on Friday and had drawn money to pay the farm hands. A cigar box bearing a very honest look lay on one of tlie Government 'treet sidewalks yesterday morning. Many passers-by took a look at it, but all remembered in good time what day it was. The hackmen cast many an anxious and curious look at the innocent hex, but they were ail "up to snutf" on the cigar question. Finally a bootblack came along whose curiesiiy waa greater Ihau his fear of ridicule; he seized the box and quickly opened it in the shelter of a convenient doorway. Lo! it. waa full of prime Havanas, and the booibiack was the only person of all concerned who did not feel like an April fool.���Victoria Times. The civic authorities admit candidly that they have been sis riled out of their customary Self-possession by a letter they have received from the local representative of the Canadian Pacific railway. The letter in question iu the blandest tones imaginable conveys to Ihe city the information that all expenses in connection wiih the keep of small-pox suspects in lhe Chinese bond house must ho defrayed by the city- as they are being kept by the city's orders.

If he were not weak, he could not ao easily have thrown away his shy reserve and lent his voice and ear to words that stood forth now stripped of all. captivating glamour, coarse, cynical, shameful. Distinctions would not so soon have grown misty. He had loved Virginia as dearly as it was possible for him to love. Yet for a night he had forgotten hor. Her resistless eyes and guiding hand had not situ id with him to lead him away from the flattery and easy comradeship of women unfit to breathe her name. He loved Virginia. But was he worth her love? Thrown amid varied tempi aliens as he saw now he must bo in ;i crowded, worldly life, would his heart remain irmjoiled? Could he keep faith with her? Yesterday, without oue wavering doubt, he would have said "Yes." Today he felt a gloomy, tormenting fear. No, he dare uot say that the bright wave of success would touch him and its backward surge boar away no moral wreckage. He sprang up determined that a first failure should not rob him of courage. He would nut think. He could not fancy his life apart from Virginia's. When he entered the sunny front room, ho found the round table drawn close to the window. Tho sun struck scintillations from tlie glass ami eddied in swimming beauty around a bowl of fresh hyacinths placed beside his plate. He ]dcked out a cluster and pinned it in his coat, caressing for a moment the uplifted, perfumy bells. "They are like herself���fair and sweet and pure. I wish she was here now." Just before him hia bloodshot eyes flamed from a mirror. They seemed repeating tho question: "Are you worth her love?" CHAPTER VHI. Delatole's apartments were in the University building. He loved the weather stained pile because it was old���so little was old in New York. He loved the gloomy halls and the high, dusty windows. His rooms were a medley where discord in the extreme blended into a startling harmony. Curiosity shops had iieen ransacked for treasures, and he had even paid flying visits to ship chandlers' shops upon the wharves in the desire to collect antagonistic bits. Fish nets that had the salt of the sea woven into their fibers took the place of more conventional hangings. Mags of every size and the most fanciful shapes, some of them very old, hung iu a line around the mantel, each a mirror for the crackling fire Ijolow. Divans swathed in Turkish stuffs jutted from shadowy angles and held palpitating gleams from hanging lamps in their oriental, bespangled folds. His bed had curtains of pale tapestry fragrant as spice and looped up hy spears. It was screened by a leathery Indian mat resembling the back of a huge turtle and suspended by hooks from the ceiling. Delatole had many sides to his character. He was a rake, a parasite, but he was also a genuine artist and loved his work. He loved the somber dreams which stole in upon his solitude in tin; old house, in this old street. They tipped his pen with cabalistic power. When tho wind howled and the snow fell, tlio drafty passu; *'S seemed trodden by ghostly feet, and fancy often crosseti his threshold, gi.rbed in some fluttering rag of tho dead years. Sometimes he had but to half shut his eyes, and looking across, his untidy desk to the limits of the spacious square beyond seo the roof tops stretch away into a sun kissed desert, lund the hanging smoko become the white tents of a waiting army. Yes, he loved the place, but it must go and his life there bo remembered as a dream. On this November afternoon while he wailed for Tom he held in his hand, which was trembling with rago, a notice to leave these self same apartments or pay a very large sum in a very short time. Curious that a man should prefer as a tenant Bome commonplace fellow with money instead of a brilliant critic who mado cigarette lighters of his dunning letters! A few oaths that reduced creation to chaos, and a few puffs of a cigarette cleared his brain. He sat back to think. So much money had gone at the gambling table: so much ou the races; so much in speculation. And the result? Enormous bills flowing in from every quarter, chief among them an appalling array of figures for more than a year's rent. "There's not a hole or corner where I can borrow a third of it," he exclaimed impatiently, and tightening tho girdle of the eastern robe infolding his slight figure he strolled to the window, and through the tangle of bare branches looked across at tho snowy grass plots of Washington square. He scarcely moved for many minutes. Was there nothing ho could do? Nothing: One plan after another was dismissed as impracticable until his eyes fell upon Tom coming across the park, the orange light streaming from the west behind him, making a moving Bilhouette of his ���rigorous figure, Delatole's eyes became inscrutable, the smoke wreaths curled furiously around his head, and he caressed his lip with the point of his tongue, as if ho had literally tasted a palatable thought. "You fooll Why didn't yon think of him before?" he said aloud and burst out laughing. When the sedate English valet, who had almost forgotten the look of American money, opened tho door for Tom, his host strolled from the window with bands outstretched. *��� "Only half an hour latol" he said airily in his drawling voice. "Not bad for a new celebrity. Did you see Tho Challenge this morning? Good���wasn't it? Here, read this." He picked up some loosely Mattered pages covered with his delicate, eramped writing and pushed them into Tom's hands. "This will be in on Thursday morning. Yon see, it's a minute review of tlw play. Yon certainly can't complain." Tom carried them to toe window and tnmc-d ono rustling pa;;e after another. Glorious words were these���ni.vruelic, intense. Aud how trile!���how nianvl- onsly true! Hia own iatiinato ctrngsles in writing the play had been divined by the keen critical understanding cf Gie writer. The lines flowed delicately, subtly, and were sweet as incense. They throbbed in his brain; his eyes lightened. IS m> i Tom carried them to tht; vAndoiD. "I had not hoped for this," he said, with a grateful glance as he came back to the table while slowly drawing off his gloves. "How awfully kind of you! My conviction that you mean it all is far dearer than that New York will read these words." "Yes, I mean it all." Delatole handed him a cigarette, gave an abrupt gljtnce at his harassed, weary face, and said musingly��� "You don't look like yourself today. Aren't you well?" "I'm quite well." "Eut you seem depressed." Tom smoked for a moment in silence. "Not so much depressed. I am disgusted," he said fiercely. "Did you know that I was���drunk last night?" Delatole opened his eye3 very wide and softly laughed as if infinitely amused. "I wish you wouldn't laugh," Tom said, a little sullenly, a streak of color crossing his cheek. "It was the first time and is not pleasant to remember." Delatole's eyebrows twitched; he lowered his eyes and thoughtfully moved some trifle on the table. "But, I say, are you going in for respectability���for that cumbersome respectability that 'strains at a gnat?' Are yoa?" The languid curiosity of his tone was more contemptuous than his laugh. Tom was troubled by a strange feeling as he listened. He did not like Delatole in his usual genial, unreserved way. Just to watch the slow movements of his listless hands held an enigmatical fascination. He felt a strong desire to emulate his ease and sagacity, but underneath and through it all there floated an ill defined repul.-.i.)n. The man seemed the product of a forced, perverted lite. Something about his dark pallor and sneering lips dimly reminded Tom of a flower forced into a semblance of bloom by the aid of a noxious gas, but with life aud oolor and strength missing. "You see, my dear fellow," Delatole continued, "I know that you are fresh from a religious environment���that you are young; therefore I don't accept your views seriously. Perhaps they are but natural. I won't label you 'prig' and give you up. I'll only give you time. Hero comes my man with some brandy and soda. Perhaps your saintship won't have any?" "Of course I will. You don't suppose I meant to draw such fine distinctions. Surely yon understand," said Tom earnestly, and he looked away into the leaping golden heart of the fire. "Last night's events gave a blow to my preconceived ideas of life. I mean to hold to them, yon see." "Eupbish! A littlo laxity only makes a man's nature wholesomely expand. Now, look here, Murray," and Delatole spoke impressively us he stroked his pointed beard, "I'm going to transplant you, and to a soil where you'll grow mentally. If you don't astound us with a play even more unforgettable than 'The World's Way,' because more mature, it won't be my fault." A question darkened Tom's eyes, and he leaned eagerly forward. "You made a wonderfully good guess at life's flavor in 'The World's Way.' But I'm going to make you taste it in truth, the brackish and the sweet. In short, Tm going t yor.r fortunes with rooms with me. S appointed me I h and dream alone. you. The suite i: not clash. Besitlt s is an atelier left vi, ran away ouly n debts.

We would just across the hall nt since De Coufcey ntly to escape his ly find the drapery of a departed model still upon the platform. You could furnish it as you please and have it as your own particular den." He watched Tom's eyee travel half wistfully around the odd, artistic place. "Charming," he said at length and added slowly, "but impossible. You see, I'm going to marry very soon." Delatole stared at him as if incapable of grasping the statement. "Yes," said Tom, and now a blunt tenderness rang in his voice, "I am going to marry Virginia Kent." "Are you mad?" and the words wen a slow exclamation. Delatole rose as he spoke, lifted one of tbe fragile glasses on tiie table and contemptuously flung it from him. It lay upon the hearth, a moss of opaline splinters. "In auother year you will be aa artia- tically ruined as that glass." Not dreaming of the selfish motive prompting this violent objection and listening to words that were a passionless prophecy, Tom could not resist the shudder that ominously passed over him.
