Only one glim pee of It was *11 tluit Julian Chest wu-k caught in the swaying crowd that filled tin- room* mi tbc night of Mr*. lVlgrove'a iiutHqueradu ball, yet it struck <«i his conaclouiinem like u new seusatioii. a revelation of untried rapacities and possibilities within hut heart. Julian Ckftrick had always laughed at the idea of love. 'There is no such thing,' lie said. lIxive forsooth! People mkrry because |U i\ mutual convenience, an established custom !' Hut when lie saw tlie case at Mr*. Pelgrove's masquerade ball, lie furled hi* mnnen ami sent in his letter* of capitulation to tlie little blind God with tlie bow and arrow*. Julian Chest wick in spite of the theories at a lifetime, fell in wit with a Marquise Louis the Fourteenth, with big black eyes, a pale oval face, and a moutli wh<M*e Hweel an'hnes* coiretqtonded not Illy with i*>wdered Jetty locks, patche*. and dainty high heeled lioota. It came aud went like a sliadnw—Uie 1 tew itching face— and Julian Chest wick luvdened to his hontem with a heart tliat th milled and clieeks aflame with Uu fevered quest: 'Tell me, Mr*. Pelgrove, who i* tlie MarqvUc in the velvet trained dree* and the red heeled boota ami the diaiuoml HUmunlierV' Mrs. Pe lag rove stared. •My dear Mr. Chestwirk, there are at least half a dozen Marquises here. * Julian bit his Hp.

He haunted the moms like an unquiet spirit all the e veuing. until people bepn to believe tliat the llungarian ITince. with the tawny moustache and the velvet blue eyes was an ubiquity: but' the face, flbone upon him no more. 'So you won't marry Mi** Jtoajrlfield?' quoth hi* uncle, a choleric okl gentleman who was iwrtfcularly fond of two tiling* in this world— nutty-flavored port, and his own way. 'No, air,' said Julian recklessly. And what tlie- -the deuce is the reaKn!' /-v /s ryn p - 'ttoctfuao 1 love somebody eke.'

So he sakl nothing at all; and in consequence thereM iss l*earlAekl married somebody else, and Julian Ctoestwlck worshiped at the shrine of the oval face, contented with it* rememtiered smiles as they haunted hi* dreqin.' 'I sluill see her some day,' he told himself, 'and until then I -frill wait lS^muatsA Oii tfaWerfe* of j4i<»i<>graphic artists— he pored over the tlie sunny side of Hroodway at times when the tides of Bnhlcmalde nrocnenade '-nrW R' overwhelmingly , 'I nliall see her,' hfl kept repeating, ltT I mily bide my time!'.. When Mr* Ykid ^akenhaa kvited hill ftownPto a Chrisbno* pally at PakfllihSMi Qourt, an old -fashioned place with wide-ihrnatqu cl#nibe>* and gfhvee of holly and laurel and nodding ever^ greens. Julian Cheetwick hesitated. the dreomuThia ftfe-Um* Ml fire to one, compared with any rflhar place, and yet Julian Client wlrk was too grari chres-idayer not to comprehend tliai You'd better cW; sold Field Pakentiam. 'we shall have no end of larks!' knsiwA Paken♦No, it won't. ' 'All flgfct, then; I'll eome.t But when?' demanded Pakenham, whe. haviag been oidMed by his sister* to 'be sure and secure that handsome Mr. Chest Wkk,' was nfctavuHy de^irou* %n clinch the nail of assent •Net ms sea.

Why, man alive, there are fifteen "girl* coming, and if I •lon't get aouio masculine help 1 haven't an idea what is to become of meT 'Don't get diM uuragtkl old fellow ' said JuUan cheerily; 'I'll aUnd by you!' Pakenluun wrung his friend's hand and went on his way rejoicing! Mr Chest wick's eve roved from face to foes, as he took hk seat at tlie long brilliapt tabk m tlie autiuue old diaiog • roulu, uak-jauincled and low iviled, at Pakenham Court. There were blonde* and brunettes, and blue eyes and gray, scraggy throat and dimpled shoulder*, white silks and lilue merino*, but there was no look or feature in all the gay assemblage which might suggest the French Martpust. and Chest wick, withiu himself, agreed with the great philosopher of old, 'Vanity of vanities, all la vanity!' '1 wislihiiad stayed at home,' thought our self -absorbed hen). llut Lucia Dallas took him in hand and made him talk, wbethcy he was will jj, g or no. 'It 'sail nonsense about your living a Dingoes,' aokl UH VW young lady. 'Where's your tub and your lantern? They're coining down by tlie next train,' said Chest wick, with the utmost gravity. 'Well, then, until they come, I sluill make tlie most of you,' said Lucia, nodding her curls. 'Do you dance?' ♦No.' 'Do you sing?' —-y 'No' 'Do you flirt?' 'No/ 'My goodness gracious!' said Mis* Dallas, putting the tips of Iter plump finger* together; 'what do you do?' 'Tliat '* precisely what you uiu*t find out for yourself.' Lucia looked at him meditatively. 'Are vou fond of picture*?' ♦Ye*. Did you bring your album?' 'No; I was thinking of the old picture, gallery up stairs. Only imagine it — the portraits of the I*akeniuuu ancestry for two hundred yeore bode!' 'They must look awfully ancient!' 'Oh, they ao. I'll show them to you to-morrow. l.ucia Dallas kept her word. Siie wws not one lightly to let off a captive knight, consequently Julian's pleas of 'letter* to write' met with no consideration in her eyes. 'At all event*,' thought Julian, as the spicv little damsel dragged him off, 'I'm glad it isn't ks{>-y«ar!' The Pakeuhaiu picture gallery , however, was, well worth seeing. A long, lofty room, lighted by a dome of gloss, its walls lined with i>ortniiU, it reminded one of tlie same old baronial hall in England. Julian Cheat wick looked dreamily round, and shuddered a little. 'I prefer the future to the past,' said lie briefly. And then turning his eye fell upon a pictured face which thrilled him through and through. A dimpled, smiling face, with hlark eyes which seemed to melt ami glow, even against the opaqueness of the meaningftea canvas, a mouth full of aivh expression, and a dress of the time of Louis (^uatorre. Julian Chest - wick stood staring as if he had seen a ghost. 'Field,' he said, turning to his host, with feature* as pale as if they had been carved in ivory, 'who is that lady?' 'Who ww she. you mean,' laughed Field Pakenham. Why, you know she's been dead these two hundred year* or more!' Julian Chestwidk felt an odd, icy tremble through his veins. Was he then in love with a ghost? He remembered the vow he had registered in his secret heart to wed none but the Mar quit v whose fair face had haunted him so long. Could it he possible that this shadow should rise from the grave of centuries to claim his row?' 4It Is Marie de Roudise, of Normandy, France, afterwards married to Gerald Pakenham, who died in Jerusalem two years after her marriage— ray great, great grandmother— and a van* good looking woman too,' added Fi^kf, rather irreverently. Julian Client wick listened silently He was not superstitious, yet there wa> something in all this that he regarded almnflt as an omen. Lucia Dallas' gay chatter liad lost all interest for him now. Tlie Jewelled finger of the beautiful Marie de Houblte seemed to Iteckcm him— her arched. Jetty brows to contract frownlngly. 'You are mine,' the dimpled lips neemed to syllable, and the haunting eyes, full of strange meaning, filled his hmrl with a vague dread. Had it then been a ghost whose beau tv had gleamed on him once, at Mia lVlgrove'a masquerade ball? And was It possible for men to look on the face of a woman who bad been dead two hundred year*, and yet live? He followed the gay party down stairs, comprehending nothing of what went on around him— walking like one in a dream. 'Mvguertta has come,' he heard Mix Pakenham ray to her son. Was it not Incktf? We had just given her up. ' "n* more the merrier/ paid Field. phOoeophtaollv. Mr. niestwk* had taken his raw! at dinner In a mechanical sort of a way, when a young b»dy glided into the seat opposite him- a young lady ubs black velvet waist and a diamond necklace 'Merciful fate!' he ejaculated half starting from his place— 'Marie de Hon dim!' 11 oW your tongue.' whispered Field, dragging him hark into the choir, it's only my cousin Marruerlta Lerite. htop stamjj^and let ms introduce von like » And as Field Pakenham moke theti names to each other, Julian Cfeeetwirk found himself looking directly into the

. I lovely dark eyes of the nuiieut Marquise I of the day* of Louis Quatorze. t 'I never thought of it before.' said Field Pakenham; 'but she due* look like tlie portrait of our French aiMMgruMa. 'I dressed like it for a masquerade I hall in New York last winter,' laughed Marguerita herself, and you would j have fancied I had just *t*p|«d out of I the frame.' 'Before you went to Havana?' asked t one of tlie Miss Pakenham*.' 4 'Ye*, before I weut to Havana. ' The riddle was solved at last. Julian , Chest wick'* lieart grew light w a feath ' er w iiliin his breast, and life becauo* 11 possibility of brightness once more! 'I'll marry tliat girl, said Julian to - himself, 'or I'll die a bachelor! You see our friend hadn't cured him t self of tlie liabil of rash vow* even yet. But he kept this uue. Wbau lie went ■ away from Pakeuliaiu Court. Marguerita Leslie had promised to become his 1 wife. > 'It'sa very short acquaintance though. ' obrarved Mha> Leslie, with a demure ■ shake of her diamond ear-drops. 'No, it isn't; It's a very lung one.' said Julian earnestly. And tlmn he ; told her how, when and where be had . first fallen in love with Iter' 'And you have really loved lue all i this time?' site asked. 'Yes, 1 have!' 'Dear me — 1 didn't know there wan so much constancy in man!' 'Man is too often a mugodged individual/ said Julian aenteoAioualy. Nor was he altogether in the wrong.' Hsnts K». Tlie citizens of Santa Fe, New Mexico, an' ]treparing to celebrate tn July, wlial they call their "tertiocuilleniai." or in otlier word* the SS3d anniversary of the aettk-meut of tlie town. The first European who ever went through the region now occupied by New Mexico was Cabeza de Baca, who was wrecked on the cost of Tens, in 1531. He gave so brilliant an account of the country, tliat in 1M1 Oorooado organized the firat expedition to thai Territory, and a* nearly a* can now he ascertained . in 1550 Santa Fe was settled. The celebration of this Important event in tlie history of the southwest is to occupy the whole month of July. Two {N'tnuuieitt exhibition halls are to contain the main features of the occasion In one there will be a collection of historical and archaeological curiosities. The Territory is full of the remains of ruined towns and of ancient stone implements. Tiiere are nineteen Pueblo vintages ill existence. In these the ]«eople, the manners and customs are precisely such .a* they were two hundred year* ago. The Pueblo people are desretMbtnt.N of the aborigine* of the country, a part of them lieing the Zuni Indians, recently brought prominently before the country. TTfieve will he, in the second place, a large collection of Spanish antiquities, representing tlie second civilisation; tlie Ameriean, wffl also l>e represented fawn the earl fast times down to the iwvsent. The ether permanent building will contain a display of the resource* of the Territory, in this department the materials, gold, silver, copper, lead, and cool both bituminous and anthracite, will be the chief exhibits. New Mexico has the onlv anthracite coal beds in the southwest. A number of special entertainments will he given on the different day* ct the exhibition, beginning with an rtal>orate opening ceremonial, in which it is hoped that Rev. Dr. R. 8. Storm will deliver the address. After that there will be a pageant representing the entry of the Spaniards into the city. One day vft be given up to an exhibition of the games and dances of the Pueblos. On another dav will he an excursion to the cave dwellings, which are not fOrftnm Santa Fe. Still another day will be utilized for an exhibition of the cattle and sheep. The month of July has bekn Chosen for the celebration because M is pleorantest month in the fear.
