II BT OSOXR WII.DU. When the sound of their footsteps had Hod away, Dorian locked the door, and put Iho key In his pookok. Ho felt safe now. No ouo would over look on thing. No eye but hla would over see his illume.
On reaching the library ho found that it was Just after flvo o'clock, and that the ton had been already broURht up. On a little table of dark, perfumed wood thickly in- cruated with nticre, a present from his guardian's wife, Lady Radlcy, who had ipont the preceding winter in Cairo, was lying a note from Lord Henry, and beside It was a book bound In yellow paper, the cover slightly torn and the edRes soiled. A copy of the third edition of the St. Jamtt'f Qauttc had boon placed on the toa-tray. It evident that Victor had returned.
Ho Wondered if ho had met the men in tho hall as they wore leaving tho house and had wormed out of them what they had boon do- Ing. Ho would sure to miss tho picture no do.iibt Awhile he had been laying tho tea-things. Tho screen had not been replaced, and the blank space on tho wall was visible. Perhaps somo night ho might find him creeping upstairs and trying to forco the door of tho room. It was a horrible thing to have a spy in one's house.
He had hoard of rich men who had boon blackmailed all their lives by some servant who hud road a letter, or overboard ft conversation, or picked up a card with an address, or found beneath a pillow a withered flower or bit of crumpled luce. Ho sighed, and, having poured himself out somo tea, opened Lord Henry's note. It was simply to sny that he sont him round Iho evening paper, and book that might Interest him, and that he would bo at the club at eight-fifteen. He opened the "St. James's" languidly, and looked languidly through it.
A red poucil-mnrk on the fifth page caught his eyo. Ho read tho following pai'agraph: "JNQL'KST ON AN inquest Was hold tills nmrnini? tho Doll Tiivern, Ifoxton Jjoud, liy Mr, Uaiihv. tho district coroner, ou ino body of blbyl Vuuo, young- iiclrens recently ui Uiu Hovul Theater; lluluorn A verdict, of (loath by mlEtidvcntitro was returned.

And how horribly real ugliness made things! He felt a little annoyed with Lord Henry for having sent him the'account. And it was certainly stupid of him to have marked it with a red pencil. Victor might have read it. Tho mnu knew more than enough English for that.
Perhaps he hud read it, and hud begun to suspect something. And, yet, whut did it matter i What had Dorian Gray to do with Sibyl Vane's dcuth! There was nothing' to i fear. Dorian Gray had not killed her. Henry hnd sent him. What, was it, ho won dercd.
Ho wont toward tho little pour. colored octug-onul stand, that had alway looked to him like the work of some strung Egyptian bees who wrought in silver an took tho volume up. He Hung himself int on arm-chair, and began to turn over th leaves. After a few minutes, ho becnin absorbed. It was tho strangest book he ha ever road.
It seemed to him that in ex quisito raiment, and to the dullcntc sound flutes, the sins of tho world were passing ii dumb show before him. Things Unit he hit- dimly dreamed of were suddenly mudo rca to him. Things of which ho' hail neve dreamed were griuUmliy revealed. It was a novel without a plot, and wit only one diaractcr, being, indeed, simply psychological study of it certain yonn Parisian, who spent his life trying to renliz in the nineteenth century all'tho passion and modes of thought that belonged to over century except his own, and to sum up, 11 it were, i himself the various mood through which tho world-spirit had eve passed, loving for I heir mcro nvtiflcialit those renunciations that mnn have unwiscl called virtue, as nnu-h as those natural re bollions that wise men still cull sin. Th style in which it was written was Urn curious jeweled style, vivid and obscure a oneo, full of argot and of archaisms, technical expressions and of elaborate para phrases, that characterizes the work of soim of tho linest, artists of tho French school o.
Detaamis. There were in it metaphors a monstrous as orchids, and as in color The lifo of tho senses was described in the terms of mystical philosophy. One hardly knew at times whether one was rending the spiritual ecstusios of somo ineiliiKvul suin or tho morbid confessions of modern sin nor. It was a poisonous book. Tho hoiivj odor of iuriMiso seemed to cling about its pages and to trouble -the brain.
The more cadence of the sentences, the subtle monot ony of their music, so full us it was of coin refrains ami movements elaborately re peated, produced In tho mind of the lad, as tie-passed from chapter to chapter, torn of reverie, a mnlady of droiimlug that mad him unconscious of tliofiUUmr day anil th eroeping shadows. CJomllo.ss ami pieived liy one solitary star fOpper-KWi'ti sky gleamed Umiug'h tho windows. He reml on by its wan till ho -could ivail no morn.

Ho never Indeed, had, any cause to somewhat grotesque dread of mirrors, nnd polished metal surfacesj and. still water, which enmo upon tho young Parisian so early In h'is life, and was occasioned hy tho heavy decay of a beauty that had onco, apparently, boon so remarkable. It was an almost cruel and perhaps in nearly every Joy, as certainly In every pleasure, cruplty has its place- that ho used to read the latter part of tho book, with its really tragic, if somewhat overemphasized, account of the sorrow and despair of one who hnd himself lost what in, others, and in the world, ho had most valued. Ho, at any rate, had no cause to fear that The boyish beauty that hnd so fascinated Basil many others besides him seemed never to leave him. Even those who had hoard the most evil things against him (and from time io time strange rumors about his mode of.
life. crept, through, London nnd became the chatter af tho clubs) could not believe anything to his dishonor when they saw Ho had always the look of one who kept himself unspotted from tho world. Men who talked grossly became silent when Dorian Gray entered the.room. There was-something in tho purity of his face that rebuked them. His mere presence seemed to recall to them the Innocence that they had tarnished.
They wondered how ono so charming and graceful us he WHS could have escaped tho stain of an age that was at onco sordid and sensuous. Ho himself, on returning- home from ono 3t those mysterious and prolonged absences that gave rise to such strange conjecture iraong those who wore his friends, or thought that they were so, would creep tip- stairs to the locked room, open tho door with the key that had never left him, nnd stand ivith mirror in front of tho portrait that Basil Hall-ward had painted of him, looking aow at tho evil and aged fuco on tho cnn- rns, and now at tho fair young face that laughed buck at him from tho polished flass. The very sharpness of tho contrast ased to quicken his sense of pleasure. Ho jrew more and more enamored of his own Denuty, more nnd moro interested in tho of his own soul. Ho would ex- irnine with minute care, and often with, a Monstrous and terrible delight, the hideous incs that soared tho wrinkling forehead or irawled around tho heavy sensual mouth, wondering- sometimes which wcro tho more lorrible, tho signs of sin or the signs of age.
3o would plnco his white hands bosido tho bloated hands of tho picture, and imile. He mocked tho misshapen body and die failing limbs. There were moments, indeed, at night, when, lying sleepless in his own delicately iceuted chamber, or in the sordid room of little ill-famed tavorn near the Docks, under an assumed name, and in dis- ruise, it was his habit to frequent, ho would flunk of the rain ho had brought "upon his loul, with a pity that was all tho moro poignant because it was purely selfish. But moments such ns these were rare. That His eye fell un the yellow book that Lord about life that, many years be- nug-rooui, huvo i Lord Henry, with his uarious smilo, "Clonio let usgoia to dinner.

Lord Henry had stirred in him, ant. together in tho garden of their Mend, seemed to increase with gratification. The more be know, the more he desired to mow. Ho had mad hungers that grow more ravenous as lie fed them. Yet he was not really reckless, atany rato his relations Mi society.
Once or twice Jvery mouth during the winter, and on ouch Wednesday evening, while the season he would throw open to the world tiis beuutiful house and have the most ccle- orntud musicians of tho day to churiu his (jnests with tho wonders of their art. His littlu dinners, in the settling of which Lord Henry always assisted him, were noted ns much for the careful selection nnd placing of those invited, as for tho exquisite taste shown in tho decoration of the tablo, with its subtle symphonic arrangements of exotic (lowers and embroidered cloths, and antique pluto of gold and silver. Indeed, there were many, especially among tho young men, who saw or fancied they saw, in Dorian Gray tho true realization of a typo of which they had often dreamed in Eton or Oxford days', a. type that was to combine something of the reul culture of the scholar with all the grace- and distinction and perfect manner of a citizen of tho world. To them he seemed to belong to those whom Dante describes as having sought to "make themselves perfect by the worship of beauty." Like Giiutier, ho was one for whom "tho visible world existed." And, certainly, to him lifo itself was tho first, tho greatest, of the arts, and for it all tho other arts seemed to be but a preparation.
Fashion, by which whut is really fantastic becomes for a moment universal, and dandyism, which, in its own way, is an ut- teuipt to assert the absolute modernity of beauty, hail, of course, their fascination for him. His mode of dressing, and tho particular styles tlmt he uffecteil from tiuio to time, hail their marked influence on tho young exquisites of tho Muyfuir balls mid Pall Mall club windows, who copied him in everything that he did, nnd tried to ropro ducetheneeiilentiil charm of his graceful, though to him hair-serious, fopperies. For, while he wiis hill too ready to accept tho position tlmt. wiis almost immediately ollorcil to him on his coming of 11150, uiiil found, indeed, subtle pleasure, in tho thought tlmt he might really become to tho London of his own what to imperial Nmtnimi Homo the author of the "Sntyri- cou" had once been, yet in his inmost, heart he desired to be something more, than a mere urMfi- clcuantianiin, he consulted on tho wearijii- of Jewel, m- tho knotting of neck-tie, tho conduct of cuue. He croato life, save It from that uncomely Puritanism that is having in own dny, its curious revival.
It was to hnvo its service of tho intellect, certainly; yet it 1 was never to accept any. theory or system that would Involve tho sacrifice of nny mode of passionate experience. Ita aim, indeed, was to bo experienced Itself, and not the frulte of experience, sweet or bitter as they mlght.be. Of the ascetism.that deadens tho of tho vulgar profligacy thatdulls them, It was to know nothing. But it was to tfloch man to concentrate himself upon tho moments of a life that is Itself but a moment.
There are few of us who have not sometimes awakened before dawn, either after one of those dreamless nights that make one almost enamored of death, or ono of thoso nights of horror and misshapen Joy, when through tho chambers of the brain sweep phantoms more terrible than reality itself nnd instinct with that vivid life that lurks' in alii grotesques, nnd lends to Gothic art Its enduring vitality, this art being, one might fancy, especially the art of those whose minds have been troubled with the malady of reverie. Gradually white lingers creep through tho curtains, nnd they appear to tremble. Black fantastic shadows crawl In to'the corners of the room, and crouch there. Outside, there is tho stirring of birds among tho leaves, or the sound of men going forth to their work, or the sigh and sob of tho wind coming down from the hills, nnd wandering round tho silent house, as though it feared to wako tho sleepers. Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, nnd by degrees tho forms and colors of things are restored to them, and wo watch the dawn remaking tho world in its antique pattern.
The wan mirrors got back their mimic life. Tho ilameless tapers stand whore we have left them, and beside them lies tho half-read book that wo have been studying, or tho wierd flower that wo had worn at the ball, or the letter that wo had been afraid to read, or that we had read too often. Nothing seems to us changed. Out of tho unreal shadows of tho night comes hack the real life that we had known. Wo have to resume it whore we had left off, nnd there steals over us a terrible sense of the necessity for tho continuance of energy in tho sumo wearisome round of stereotvped habits, or a wild longing, it may be, that our eyelids might open some morning upon a world that had been refashioned anew for our pleasure in the darkness, a world in which things would have fresh shapes and colors, nnd be changed, or have other secrets, a world in, which the past would have little 01 no place, or survive, at any rate, in no conscious form of obligation or regret, the remembrance even of Joy having its bitterness, and tho memories of pleasure their pain.
It was tho creation of such worlds as these that seemed to Dorian Gray to be tho true object, or among tho true objects, of life; and in his search for sensations that would bo at oneo new and delightful, and possess that element of strangeness that is so essential to romance, he would often adopt certain modes of thought that he knew to he really alien to his nature, abandon himself to their subtle influences, and then, having, as it were caught their color and satisfied his intellectual curiosity, leave them with that curious indifference that is not incompatible with a ardor of temperament, and that indeed, according to certain modern psychologists, is often a condition of it. It was rumored of him once that he was about to Join the Roman Catholic communion; and certainly tho Roman ritual hud always a groat attraction for him. The daily sacrifice, moro awful than all tho sacrifices of the antique world, stirred him ns much by its superb rejection of the evidence of the senses as by the primitive, simplicity of its elements and the eternal pathos of tho human tragedy that it sought to symbolize. Ho loved to kneel down on the cold marble pavement, and watch the priest, in his stiff, flowered cope, slowly and with white hands moving aside the veil of tho tabernacle, and raising uloft the jeweled lantern-shaped monstrance with that pallid wafer, that at times, one would fain think, is indeed the "panis Cidestis," the broad of angels, or, robed in tho garments of the Passion of Christ, breaking the Host into the chalice, nnd smiting his breast for his sins. Tho fuming censers, that the grave hoys, in their luce and scarlet, tossed into tho air like great gilt flowers, had their subtle fascination for him.
As he passed out, ho used to look with wonder at the black confessionals, and long to sit in tho dim shadow of one of them and listen to men and women whispering through tho tarnished grating the true story of tlieir lives. (Continued next week.) LANGUAGE OF A DOC. Ouw tho Cuuln, Ulr.tlonury Wiw Kvolved from Ills Tall. sought to somo new scheme of life that -would Imve its rcasonud philosophy und its ordered principles and find in the spiritualizUii: of the senses its highest realization. Tlte worship of tho senses has often, and with much justice, been decried, men feeling natural instinct of terror about passions and sensations that scorn ourselves, mid that we are conscious of shuriuK with the less highly organized forms of vxistenee.
