WI chatfed about it at his club he auly laughed and stroked his mustache complacently, for be was eX- treuiely good-tempered, and even’ the scowls of Maitiand and Carniorth did not ruffle him. But he bad evidentiy not made up his mind which of the ladies was to be Mrs. Fitzgerald Brandon. He Laughed one day with Clementing, but dined with Minna tie next; le sat the whole evening in the opera-Dox Of one, but he Was certain to be seen in the Row next torning with the other; and 80 Uhe balance of power Was maintained, ladies Were at their wits' end. How was lating swain tO be Secured? It was in- tolerable to see him flirting openly with Minna aiver he had all but proposed the day before to Clementina; and vice versa. Of course every one Was amused but the two Victims, and they were really miserable. However, an event to which both had jong iooked forward would, they hoped, bring matters to a crisis, Lady Mabel Smith was going to give a bal masque at her charming suburban Villa on the Thames, and the widows had devised ravishing tollets for the occasion. Little Fitz Would surely be subjugated at last; and there would be so tnany opportunities for hiin to proj in those delightful gardens, sloping to the river, and Lit with colored iainps, a la South Kensington. ‘Theeventtul evening came at last. Mrs. Des- mond, arrayed as Madame de Potpadour, in rose- colored velvet aud diainonds, and Mrs, Somers, as Mane Antoinette, in pale blue satin and pearis— arrived almost simultaneously at Lady Mabel’s. Little Fitz, to whom botn ladies haa. of course, confided the secret of her Incognito, had got him- self up very maguificently a8 Louis’ XV, and this Mrs Desmond considered as almost tantamount to @ declaration, ‘The ball was a most brilliant affair; the weather Was everything 1U should be, warm, still and moon- less; the iuiniuations were gorgeous, the music mirable, and the wine super- ve. Lady Mabel’s guests took their pleasure With Jess of instilur sadness and more of continen- tal liveliness than usual Whether it was the novelty and daring of the thing, or thetact of the hostess, or the unlimited ‘opportunities for flirtation, or the spice of intrigue and mystifl- cation introduced into the affair by the wearing of masks, it 1s certain the bail was a complete suc~ cess from beginuing toend, Minna Desinond, how- ever, was far from happy, for throughout the | evening little Fitz devoted ‘himself almost exclu- sively ‘to her rival. The blue dress of Marte Antionette was always to be seen In juxtaposition ‘With the brilliant costume of Louts XV. “T suppose he thinks a8 Clementina “ts masked, People Won't talk,” thought the disconcerted wid ow as she Watched the patr, Carnforth, Who had somebow discovered that Mad.ine de Pompadour was no other than his fickle Minua, came up to her and began to talk. At first his attempts at conversation were coldly received, but Jack was not easily snubbed, and at length She Secmed to relent and gradually gifded into a friendly chat Carniorta was delighted; he begged for a waltz, and Minit did not refuse the request. When the, dance was cued, he led his partner tnto one of. Une pieasait nooks In the garden, hoping that the widow's inood would not change before he could find courage to propose. But tue lady’s thoughts were still running On Louis; she was deteriniued not to throw up the cards yet. ‘The first thing to be done was to get rid of Carnforth, so he was dispatched to fetch an fee, much to his disgust. Just as she Was about to leave the arbor in search, Of the recalcitrant Fitz, she Was startled by a Tustle in the bushes near, and a volce—Clemen- Una’s voice—whispering her name, At the same Ume, the bushes parted, showing the blue dress of the queen, neiementinal” erled the astonished lady; “you ere?” “Hush, dear.

A Review of the Volunteer’s Record. From the New York Times, Americans do well to be enthusiastic over the work of the Volunteer. Moderation in all things, however, 1s to be earnestly commended, and a cold, careful study of figures is always wholesome, ‘The Tesult of such a Teview of figures is not likely to drive a wise man crazy with antctpatory joy, though it is productive of no ttle comfort of soul, ‘The first ume the Volunteer met the other giant sloops was in the runof the New York Yacht Ciub’s fleet trom New London to Newport. The work done by the yachts between the start and Watch Hill counts for nothing, owing to the un- certain Winds. From Watch Hill to Point Judith itwasa windward beat with alight air. Inthe 1735 mniles the Volunteer beat the Puritan 2 minutes, 55 seconds, That was the tirst test. The next was the Goelet Cup race off Newport. In the sall of 17% miles east-southeast from the start to the Milleyard Sound Ughtship, wich a moderate wind south-southwest, the Volunteer gained 4 minutes 16 seconds on the Mayflower, and 9 minutes 11 seconds on the Puritan. In the run of 4% miles from the Vineyard Sound to the Hen and Chickens lightship, the only running with spinnaker set that the’ Volunteer did. during the cruise, she ined 2 minutes and 38 seconds on the Puritan, in the reach home, adistance of about 16 nautical mniles, Which she accompilsned tn 1 hour and 28 minutes and 19 seconds with a freshening breeze, the Volunteer beat the Puritan 1 minute and 19 seconds and the Mayflower 2 minutes 58 seconds, In the sail trom Newport to Holmes’ Hole, or Vineyard Haven, the only fair test of the yachts was the reach of 17% miles trom Brenton's Reet Ugutship to the Vineyard Sound Lightship. In Uuis the Volunteer beat the Puritan 2 ininutes and 23 seconds and the Mayflower 2 minutes and 14 seconds. ‘The Puritan lost something like halt a a minute by endeavoring to pinch out to wind- Ward of the steel sloop.

In the run of 12 miles with the wind on the starboard quarter the Puritan gained 1 minute 18 seconds on tue new sloop, but this was largely due to the fact that the Volunteer overstood the mark. In the reach of 12 miles to the finish the Volunteer covered “the distance in Ba, the Puritan in 1:05:18, and the Atlantic in 1:05:03. ‘A squall at the nish accounts for some of Luis gain, but the Puritan and the Atlantic must have Teached fully as fast as the steel sloop until the ‘Squail helped them to go faster. On Monday, In the windward work from Vineyard Haven to ‘the Ted buoy off Cuttyhunk Ligut, the Volunteer beat the Puritan 7 minutes 38 seconds. ‘Theuce to the finish the yachts saited nearly close hauled, and the Puritan gained 24 seconds on the new yacht, We shouid know a good deal more about tiie Vol- unteer if the Mayflower had done her best on the cruise.

A special to the Baltimore 4 merican trom Wood- Stock, Va., says that yesterday the special grand Jury ordered by County Judge Newman met to in- Veatigate the delivery from jail, early last Satur- day morning, of United States Senator Riddle. berger.
