And when the "Compendium" had become a centre-table ornament in the homes of the rich, and a bulky object of awe in humbler abodes, she went over the ground again with other volumes calculated to serve her double purpose, from "Dr. Chase's Receipt Book" to "Picturesque Italy, profusely Illustrated."

At every suggestion Mr. Chase's smile only got broader and more indulgent.

The Squires, the Centaurs of the chase And all the chase's patrons, Each in his own, his ordered place; The comfortable matrons These were your stuff, and these your skill Consigned to future ages, And caught and set them down at will In Mr. Punch's pages.

Till the shout, and the groan, and the conflict's dread rattle, And the chase's wild clamour came loading the gale.

Chase's heart was boiling with disappointed rage.

Then transpired the thing which brought about Hollingsworth Chase's sudden banishment from Rapp-Thorberg, and came near to making him the laughing stock of the service.

At that instant something struck sharply against the stone column above Chase's head.

It did not require extraordinary keenness on Chase's part to gather that her ladyship and Browne had suddenly decided to engage in what he would call a mild flirtation, but what Saunders looked upon as a real attack of love.

"Excellency," he replied, in answer to Chase's question, his voice trembling with excitement, "they left me at the bend, a mile back.

What do you say to a charity ball, the proceeds to go to the survivors of the plague we're expected to have?" The Princess gave a quick, involuntary look at Chase's face.

Chase's mind refused to work quickly.

The Princess clutched Chase's hand tightly as they stole through the bleak, chill corridor; she found herself wondering if the girl was to be trusted.

She would have whispered her fears into Chase's ear had not a sharp "sh!"

Chase's bewildered eyes were the first to discover the presence of loose, scattered masonry in the pile below and the truth dawned upon him sharply.

Mrs. Saunders alone divined the thought that filled Chase's mind.

Chase's heart was beating furiously as he stepped to the curb.

These threats had been received with patience up to the point when patience seemed to be no longer a virtue; but finally, when (in May, 1864) such a resignation was tendered under some aggravation of opposition or of criticism, very much to Chase's surprise the resignation was accepted.

" "If you had seen Dorothy Chase's wedding silver" responded Sally, and stopped there, as if words could no further go.

" Sally went hurriedly forward and met Dorothy Chase's smartly tailored figure in the middle of the tiny passage.

Actually, my hat hits on both sides!" Then came Neil Chase's barytone drawlhow

Bob, watching, grinned at Uncle Timothy meaningly, and received in return the mild sparkle of amusement with which the "antique" was accustomed to show himself invulnerable to neglect from young persons of Dorothy Chase's stamp.

"Well, of all the surprises!" was young Mrs. Chase's greeting, as she swept across the porch in a Paris gown which fairly took one's breath away, as it was disclosed by the falling open of a gorgeous evening wrap.

Josephine asked the question calmly, being used to Dorothy Chase's fashion of putting things.

"I would gladly hoe potatoes all day if I could be let off from going to play for Mrs. Chase's friends this evening."

Are they all members of the firm?" Jarvis laughed as he followed Chase's glance up the rows.
