HALF A TRUTH.
BI “THE W< HESS.”
set;” she bad paused at one non nil from the
valley to the Olympian heights and he was
left below looking up at her.
And yet before him lay a letter from Va-
lerie asking him in her aunt's name to
come aud dine in Upper Brook Street the
following evening. Yes he was asked
now and then; lie was not to see Valerie
often; .he was to be alienated front him:
taught the creed that money and rank are
all in all. She was changed already: she
was not as she used to lie down at Wei-
ford; her letters failed to satisfy him and
she did not always answer promptly.
No wonder Louis felt chafed and heart-
sore; no wonder (especially as he was only
just twenty-three) he talked and thought
a good deal of nonsense about lore in a
cottage (even the cottage by the way
would have been problematical I. fighting
the battle of life more bravely with the
loved one by your side and the rest of it.
Th? trifling facts that without the loved
one he could scarcely do more than keep
afloat and that heads of departments take
no account of loved ones in regulating in-
crease of employes’ salaries—were natur-
ally overlooked.
Bulat the appointed time Louis drove
up in a hansom to Mrs. Langley's house
and was u bered into the drawing-room
and a minute later the door opened anr
Valerie in her moss-green velvet gown
came in. and ran up to the young man.
“My own Valerie!” he said taking het
'n his arms and kissing her many times
•‘it is hard to see you so seldom.”
Valerie drew herself gently from him.
"We cannot help it Louis can we?” sho
said forcing herself to speak brightly;
“and we must make up our minds to a still
longer separation.”
“Valerie! what do you mean?” He
canght her hand almost roughly in his pain
and fear.
The girl turned white. Did lie love her
so much? and she—Heaven help her!—she
felt like a hypocrite.
“Only” she said hurriedly “that in
January we are going abroad until the
spring!”
“No no Valerie you will not consent?”
“Oh Louis be careful!” exclaimed the
girl with a quick glance toward the door;
“any moment aunt Constance may come
in. How could I help consenting even if I
did not wish to go?” Valerie's truthfulness 1
was not yet corrupted.
“You do wish to go. then?” said the
young man excitedly—“to leave me—for
months!”
“I have told you I do” the girl answered
shrinking back but speaking firmly.
“Why should you be angry with me for
that? I have always longed to go abroad”
she added turning away toward the fire
so that her face was hidden from him.
Louis stood still a moment before he
followed her and took her hand again.
She let him take it but did not cling to his.
“I have no right perhaps” he said in a
changed tone “to blame you or—or to
doubt you because you are willing to leave
me; but I cannot help thinking that your
aunt wants to part us. When was this
decision made?”
“A few days before the dance Louis.”
“And does she attempt to forbid our
writing to each other?"
“No no! You don't think I would sub-
mit to that?" exclaimed the girl.
Before Louis could reply the door open-
ed. and Mrs. Langley came in to Valerie’s
relief though scarcely to her lover's.
Mrs Langley greeted the young man
cordially. She was too thoroughly well-
bred a woman to ask a man io her house
and then snub him.
The three dined together: there were no
guests besides Louis Charteris; and during
the progress of the meal Mrs. Langley
mentioned that she and her niece purposed
making their first halt at Paris where they
would remain about a fortnight and then
go on to Italy.
“By the way” she added to Valerie
“the Aston Lawfords are in Paris. I must
remember to call upon tliem.”
"Aston Lawfords?” repeated Valerie.
“Are those the people Lord Emly was talk-
ing about? He said they were iron.”
“Aston Lawford is an ironmaster" said
Mrs. Langley quietly; "but he is also a
man of good birth and lias a large estate
in Nottinghamshire.”
“That lie bought himself?" asked Valerie
with the instinctive contempt of laud In-
heritance for land-purchase.
“None the worse man for that surely!”
observed Louis who inclined out of the
sheer pugnacity of youth to what he term-
ed '‘liberal’’ views. “A man who earns
land may be a better man than he who
simply inherits it.”
“You got those lines out of some melo-
drama Louis” returned Valerie cavalier-
ly. “I cau’t discover what they mean; un-
less they mean that a tradesman is better
than a gentleman.”
“I don't quite agree with either of you”
interposed Mrs. Langley “but you surely
don’t call an ironmaster a tradesman Va-
lerier’’
“I wasn’t speaking of Aston Lawford
aunt Constance. I meant that Louis’ idea
—that man who makes money is a better
man than one who inherits it—would in
fact put even trade before land wouldn’t
it?”
“I didn’t mean it so” said Louis vexed
at being taken up in this style by Valerie
“but you have such invincible prejudices
about laud Valerie!”
“These will become modified with time
and experience” said Mrs. Langley indul-
gently; "meanwhile I may tell you that
the Lawfords are received everywhere be-
cause really their connection with iron
is accidental. The Lawfords are a good
family and Aston Lawford’s mother was
a Vernon of . Even the Beauregard’s
pardon the iron.”
“Are they so very proud?” asked Louis.
“Intensely proud. I dare say Captain
Beauregard looks askance at the iron”
added Mrs. Langley laughing; “but then
military men are especially stiff on such
points."
“I tHink he is quite right!" said Valerie
stoutly.
"And yet I dare say he would marry an
ironman's daughter if she had plenty of
money” remarked Louis.
Valerie did not for a minute think he
would but she said no more. She had an
instinctive fear of being too warm in Max
Beabregard's defense.
A little before the time for Louis to take
his departure Mrs. Langley contrived to
leave the two young people together for
this was the last Louis would see of Va
lerie for several months.
For a few moments neither spoke; then
Louis put his arm about the girl and
whispered:
“You will be true to me Valerie will you
not in spite of everything?”
“Ah! Louis ” the throbbing of her
heart seemed to choke her.
He Interposed quickly:
"Yes yes. I know I ought not to doubt
you. But there are so many things to take
you from me!”
So many! Valerie pressed her hand to
her forehead.
“You think” she faltered “that wealth
and love of homage would change me?”
“I was afraid Valerie. And after all I
am so unworthy of you.”
“Ah no; you must not say that. I will I
write to you” she went on hurriedly “as
often as I can; and—and you will write to I
me; and perhaps—we shall not be so very j
long away!”
Stic was speaking almost al random; J
heart and brain were In confusion and ;
but tor the self-absorption of love leads I
must surely have noticed much in her
manner to disquiet him. As it was. he
drew her closer to him. and kissed her. If
it had only been a brother’s kiss! But now
every nerve in her laxly shrank from the
caress; lips and heart were unresponsive.
"I know yon will be true to me" were
his last words: and then Valerie fled to her
own room.
The words rang in her ears—beat upon
her brain. Had she ever loved Louis?
Had she been wrong from the beginning’
That unimpassioned affection she had for
him wits that love? She put such ques-
tions from her in a kind of terror; she would
not think to-night.
With a strange persistence in closing the
door of her inner conscionsness she did
not even look at a photograph which she
kept locked up in n private drawer. She
had seen it tn a show-window with those
of other officers conspicuous in the Egyp-
tian war and she had bought it witli two
or three more unseen by Fanchon who
accompanied her.
Night and morning Valerie looked nt
that picture: hut to-night she did not. She
was fighting against the inevitable trying
instinctively to blind her eyes and (leaden
her senses. But when that struggle conies
full knowledge follows swiftly. Even
youth and inexperience cannot in such a
case as this long juggle with conscience.
CHAPTER XVI.—AT THE GRASP OPERA.
It was after the second act of "Faust" at
the Paris Grand Opera and among the
well-dressed crowd that poured down to
the mile was a group one of which at-
tracted universal attention. This was a
very young girl dressed entirely in cream-
white who leaned on the arm of a man
somewhere between six and-thirty and
forty—an almost ludicrous contrast in
every respect to his lienutiful companion;
for whereas she was tall slender and del-
icate to fragility in appearance with that
wonderful purity of skin and clear brill-
iancy of eye which is the lot of some favor-
ed few of Eve’s daughters lie was barely
above the medium height of robust build
and somewhat heavy in feature—a gentle
man—there could be no doubt on that
point—but of the type which is peculiarly
—one had almost said obstreperously—
English
The other members of the group were
two ladies: one middle-aged rather prim
in carria ?• and dress and bearing a strong
resemblance to the gentleman: and the
other older but not b olting so handsome
stylish and richly attired.
•“Beauty and the Bets!’” whispered a

“Thanly and the Ihtixl."
"Bite! fathers <lo not hmkai thcirdnima
ters as he whs looking just now at made-
moiselle!”
"I'iel! is that goddess destined for such
a man? Oh the irony of fate!”
Man and girl passed on; the latter scarce-
ly noticing now—she was so used to it!—
the attention she excited said archly:
“Mr. Lawford you promised me you
would do me a service—which I would not
name then—when we left the box.”
“Whatever tiie service is I will do it
Miss Herbert” replied Aston Lawford.
“Then please try and get me a London
evening paper. You will la* able to Hud
one surely in one of the khmquex near here.”
“Oh yes. Is that the only service I can
do you?”
“For the present yes” returned Valerie
smiling. “Stay get me all the English
evening papers they have. Am I not greedy
for war news?”
“You are a soldier’s daughter. Besides
you know so many out there don’t you?”
“A good many. Now go please or you
will miss the opening of the third act.”
“That would not matter if I were doing
your bidding.”
“Well the papers might lie gone and
that would be worse.”
She slipped her hand from his arm and
Aston hurried away.
“What errand have you sent Mr.
ford about Valerie?” asked her aunt.
“To get some evening papers” replied
mademoiselle playing with her fan.
Mrs. Kangley smiled to herself. Aston
Lawford reputed millionaire and certain-
ly immensely rich was clearly eprix with
the portionless beauty; and she whether
she perceived this or not. made him do her
bidding.
The party had returned to their and
the curtain had risen on the thirl act
when Lawford withan Er nt nj Standard
Globe and an early Telegraph “special”
came back.
Valerie’s eyes flashed as she saw his
trophies.
“Oh thanks!” she said In an eager un-
dertone; “that M a feast! I h oe you 1 id
not to take lunch trouble?”
“If I lia I I would not grudge it” ho an-
swered. taking his piace beside her.
“You ou *ht not! retorted the girl sauci-
ly. “Chut! We must not talk; but I muxt
look at the telegrams.”
“Ijct me!” said Lawford taking the pa-
pers from her and opening them at the
centre pages.
The girl’s heart l>eat fast as she looked
at the Standard telegrams. There had
been no fighting where Max Beauregard
was but some skirmishing elsewhere. The
Telegraph and the Globe told the same
tale and she drew a silent breath of relief.
She could put aside fuller reading for the
present until she was alone: and feeling
secure that he at any rate was safe she
gave her undivided attention to the opera;
while Lawford who did not care much for
any mnsic thought a great deal more about
the beautiful girl at his side than about
the sorrows of Margherita.
Mrs. Tjangley ami her niece were leaving
Paris for Rome the next day: and as the
party drove back to the Louvre where
Mrs. Langley was staying Law ford turned
to the la iy and said:
“I hope I may have the pleasure of seo-
iDg you off to-morrow*”
“We shall be delighted!” replied Mrs.
Langley.
Law ford glanced at Valerie but Valerie
was looking out of the* window and did
not seem to hear question or answer. She
heard both however.
The carriage stopped adieux were said
and Mr. Lawford and his sister departed
Valerie bidding a rather indifferent “good-
night” to the former.
“Is Mr. Lawford going to Rome?” she
