LOST FOR A WOMAN.

. Ip the drawing-room ' of 'Tremaine ilanbrj .a young lady sat oieirtormy, Ootpt'e? mom-; ing, "listlessly toying with' some fancy-work! jfha.held between her dainty 'finger a.

'Birch Was Alice Tremaine Ht nine- ■ teen. She was the only daughter of Hugh; Treniaine. the descendant of ah ancient but; impoverished faihily of Commoners. The houße of Tremaine dould ill afford thej expensive careers on whioh it had laanohedl its fiohß, and Alioe Had been somewhat' -negleofedt'not having yet attended her feat London season.- This, Mr. Tfeinaine fully reatie'ed, oouldnot be much longer deferred bat he consoled himself with the -thought that saohibeaaty as hbrs cbuld not long lack brilliant offers.' ' , : Onthis partwular morning Alice was restless and preoccupied ; and well she might, be soi ior to-day was to be a memorable one in hex life. The Marqnis de Mnrado, a Spanish grandee, ..who waa staying, with Sir Robert Caimiohaels a. -neighbour of the Tremainpß, % had proposed to Her the day, before, Alice had neither accepted nor declined him,. but the Marquis wa&.to call to-day for an answer. It w«b this- visit she was now expecting. She had been thinking the matter over Binoe the day before, , and now she had made np her mind— ahe.would. accept the Marquis, True, he v wae rathftr sallow, and old enough to be her father | true^ehe loved Gfebrge Arnold, to Whom she had plighted her troth, and who ;,waa now in Paris, arriving to make g fortune and a name with pailette and brush. She and Geprgejbad parted a few months before with the underß^andtng Xti&t they were to wait a year, at the end of whibh, time he Would havejx'eaohed the age 6f t twenty-five, and would come into a legacy, not large, but Buffioientlysb to enable them to livecomfortably until George wa ; s able to make his art prove remunerative. On this rihderstanding they had parted, and Ge&rge had gone tp Paris to ajonde enter fb f a the strangle for I forttine and fame. Alibe had at fir^t pined J for her lover, and bad been faithful to him -in thought tod in deed until the Marquis do' Mu'rado crossed her path arid laid his heart, his titles, and k hiß fortune -fft her Wet. Then sHe hesitated, but her hesitancy was of short duration.; She loved George Arnold— yes, Bhe loved him b*b much as a nature "so selfish , as hers was .capable of loving ; bat she loved better the Brilliant position she would occupy before the world ab the wife of the Marquis of Morado ; she loved better the diamonds with Whioh he would bedeck her, and the health whh whioh he would etuiouad her. dtid thbagh't of his noble castle in Aragon, of his Italian villa by the lake, arid of his mansion in Paris, all resplendent with ormolu and malachite, and. rare ' objects of art and Parisian taste ; and, true to the instincts of her Bex, for these she' sacrificed the man to whom she had plighted her troth. How few of her sex would haVe done otherwise ! One month later, in Paris, George Arno S was seated in a small room fitted np as a studio. He was ,a young man of. about twenty-four,, standing over six feet, ve»y square-shouldered, but so symmetrical .and light in. his movements. that his size hardly struck one at first. His features were nO more than comely; the brow was fall, the eyes were wide apart, the lips were thin, bat expressive. It was a face of power, and oapabie of harshness, bat leavenM by » olear bine eye, marvellonsly expreteive, wander? f ally tender. He wiss the youngest son of Sir Frederick Arnold, whose estates in Norfolk were near those of the Tremaines. A huge mastiff of pare breed, with noble head and massive chestj lay at his feet, looking wistfully np at himr George's face .at >his_ moment _s?as. deathly pale, and bore indioation pf terrible mental Buffering. In hia c2eacb&4 hettid 2t« hate a\<jopy qC <&^ Times of (ffe^di&y before, and bis eyes eeemed glued in a'wlld sfo'te on a paragraph in the paperr which read as follows :

Mabbibd;— On Wednesday, the 15th mat., by the Dean ofNoifwiob, assia'tecl by the Bey. Dr. Foley, the Mai'qais Jose Marie deMurado to Alice, only dS^gnter of Hugh Ttemaine, Esq., Nor/olk. At last i apparently mastering his emotion by a mighty effort, Ge'drge Arnold flung the ife£fr indjiatiefntly aside; and Bpr&ng to hie itet; &q drey a mioMafe ftM Ms bieaat, &!\\\ ttve gioutia,ftM ivunoQßVy crushM it to afoms beneath his heel.

" 'Tis best so," he m'brmur'ed presently. "I have now ndthibg left me but % art— mi yon; Carlo," he added, turning to hie dog, whose eyes at oiitie lighted up with fidelity and affeotion, akdwho advanced to otfrees His master's hSnd; " Could a man wish for a' better mijjtreßs or a truer friend V

, Five years later all Paris was ringing with the praises of. a. great painfer. The excitable Gallic nature, worked up to ii s fullest extent* vented itself! in unstinted applause. On the boulevards, in the cafe"3, in the salons everywhere, .jyordß. of praise were spoken of a young, painter whose wonderjial • masterpiece, .exbfbited in the salon that day, had taken; Paris by storm. Meanwhile George Arnold, for. he it wtts who had so suddenly become famous, eat alone in Ira studio, with Carlo for his sole companion. George load somewhat changed; Ms fine frame' was thinner arid his cheeir pailer than when. We last saw him. Many -were the. invitations he had received' that evening;<but he had preferred to remain at Home^alone with his dog. He was now reading a letter bearing the English postmark, and seemed absorbed in thought.' It wtts* from his" old friend Sir Bob'ert CarmichfceV inviting- him to come and Bpend'the shootin"g;sea»dn at his place. - At length" Gtforge started up with the air of tsufirwho hatfteKen'S sadden bow mr five jean ernes 1 hare wen home,

and it will do us gcbd to revisit the old scenes— eh, Carlo?" Carlo's eyes %htedup, and" ie« wagged hiar tail as if to signify that" he fully agreed with lus master.,. The dog, tike George, had also somewhat altered. He was no longer so bright of eye nor ao agile of limb as he had, once been, buthis senses were now, as alert as? ever for his master's approach, "and >ish6arfc*e>t as faithfully and joyously atiis maiiWi' careßS as when, beSeath the giant oaks' on the * Arnold estate, the fire of youth coursed through every sinew of his mighty frame. ' Having made np Mb mind, Gtaorge at once Btarted ior England, and late one evening arrived Jft Sir Boberf s country-seat, where he received a 'warm welcome from hie host. Next morning, on coming down to breakfast,, he met some of the other guests of Sir, Bobert, with whom hafrbeeVacqnMntedj in former days. „An animated conversation was going on between Captain Forrester 'aria 'Major Greene. The' latter ~tiaa been away with his regiment in India, Tuid the former was describing the then reigning beauties. " I tell you what, though, old fellow," we've 'alnfogt the first words that' feU on George.; Arnold's ear, "for really dazzling, peerlessbeauty none ban compare with Madame la Marqueßa de Murado. Suoh eyed, sbch hair, such a figure, and, by Jove ! sttoh conquests. Why, half London went mad over her this Beasoti. Her, husband was the Marquis de Murado, you know. He died last year." ' '. ' " . •' ; ; i •» How enthusiastic you are 1' "Why, I half suspect you -• went mad; over her/ as you term it, yourself," laughed Major Greene. "'lll did, it's the fashion ;■ r so that's one comfort," retained the other. ' *. "I should very much' like v tb 'see this beauty." . >■' „ .' ' • ••Your wish ' will, eobri be.; gratified}" answered the tlaptaitt, "fox I hear $he is coming ' here to-morrow. . I.- advise yon, ''though, to 'lakß;car,e,-,o¥ ypu^rn;ay-lear|i to,, tegret ever having seen her.-v • ?-' "Oh l no fearjdf tbaV laughed : Major Greene, gayly. :'' '■ >: ' - The conversation then turned on other topics, bat George heard not what'waiß said, . so Engrossed was he by the varying emotions, 'tbe.Be few wowlb of conversation' had aroused ' within him. ri He rose Boon -afterwards from the table and' sdubtfered .put into the cool morning -air- „ ■ ' ; So the woman he had once loied bo dearly, ■arid who had co cruelly wronged him, was soon, to oome under the same roof as himself. His 'first impulse was tofleelrom her pre-, sence; but on second tbougnt he decided 'that this would be oravenly. No! the old love was dead within him. Never again, could she revive in bis heart one spark of e, tenderness for her. He would stay and fao this matchless coquette— he would brave th \ vaunted conqueror of men. The evening of the following day he walkec down to the drawing-iboni iv faultleßß, evening-dress. He pushed open the door,, and there, with the light of the chandeliers falling full upon her, etddd Madame la Marquesa de Murado. • Time lad indeed fuelled the glpr|ous promise of her -maidenhood.. As a girl etie. had been beautiful, /aa fa wpmaii , she was irresistible. Maturity had lent her, added charms, and she now looked the leak, ideal of the woman of fashion— the pampered - beauty of European capitals. She greeted him as an qld acquaintance, and not a muscle of her face betrayed the slightest emotion as he bowed, low before her. Days passed by. and-George often met tincl converaed-with her;' and no reference was made by either of them to the past. George made no effort to avoid her, and flattered himself, that she waß powerless to resume her former sway over him. The Marquesa, however, had formed a terrible resolution. She was secretly angeled at the coldness of her old-time lover, arid, 'the lust of conquest awakened, within her by her many suooeßses, she could not endure . that even this man, whom in the bygone 'ti/ae ehe had go 'cruelly wronged, should refaae hik allegiance. No ! be should once more bow before her, and acknowledge the sway of her , peerless beauty. He was~a great artist.. He should place his talents ,]it her service, ana by transferring lier bharms to the canvas •■ make her name and her beauty immortal', Having formed this resolution, she plbyed her oaida adroitly and as none knew better than tbiß matonleßß ooquette. It was the evening preceding her departure, however, that she laid the train that should spring the mine— that she played her trump-card. There was a ball that night, and to George's own great surprise he awoke as • from a < stupor, after a short conversation with the Marquesa, to find himßelf writing his name on her tablets as her partner in the next waltz— how it happened George himself never knew. When the time came he led her • forth, and as they whirled round to the delioiona music, whose, soft cadence was almost a caress, her eyes gleaming with a subtle, dangerous light into his, her breath fanning his cheek, his hand/ brushed by the rippleß of her hair, he felt the warm blood rush with lightning rapidity through every vein, and every pulse beat and .quivered at though all nerves had been transformed into ' strings which throbbed beneath the influence ! of a magnetic Co<nsu »

"How warm the rooms axel" xaurmoiefl the Maiquesa, when the ,waltz ended. " I declare theheat is unbearable." , Without a word he drew her to the farther end of the ball-room, and, opening a small door behind spine tall ferns, led her ont into' a magnificent conservatory. ' Here the air was 0001, and rare exotics, flowering shrubs; and bloßgomW 61 nfttive growth exhaled a deliqious. fragrance, while, tb« jplash of a fonnWih' that dadOeS and apsriled in the moontigbivras ftft low» Bveel mam falling D&ißHntigty on Vhe bm.

They lingered .for some time and, overcome by the magnetism of this woman^s presence, and his senses lolled by the tranquil beauty of hiß surroundings, before 1 they left George had forgiven the past, and' had promised on her arrival in Paris to aooede to her wishes with regard to the t>- f her Dortrait

Alther wonderful odweri Of fasoinatioh were pat forth, .and while the' artist lingered lovingly over hU work his' goal drank in deep draughts of intoxicating^ happiness and love. At lart the* work was. completed: Inspired by genius and love,'. George Arnold hid oreated that which would make him atill mojr^e Jampuf, and.; cause *$ Borope to ring with the Beauty of th« Marr, quesa. ?he painting was exhibited in the Salon, and once more Paris was taken by storm.

That evening George Arnold sought the preeeuoa oftbe woman toe bad made famous; j He threw himself ai-ber feet,, and in burning phrases poured forth his pasßion. first; she was moved by. the earnestness an<l warmth, .of this man's jiature ; but only momentarily, for . ambition soon averted itself, Bythe provisions of thg late Marquis* , will, should "be., again marry, the* estate* passed from .her to a. distant relative^ Should she reßign all, and marry a oompara^ iively poor man ?
