"Then on nre the hew of your own story," said 1 'Don t interiupt me. h said I was a hero: 1011 will see. Thecals weiefull; but I found a beat behind a la iy nnd rentlcmnu, who had ap propiiated a couple to themselves, and were wrapped up in sh.tiVis flluepitig very comtoit'ilili'. the limit from the ear lamps fell on their fao s. The gentleman, who seeinid a fondgner, and who proved to be a Mexican of some distinction. was of middle age-a dark, fine-looking soiiion', tpiiet man Hut the lady, young enough to be his daughter, was of daz zling bjauly. A pale complexion, tlushit'g with the slightest tint of rose; an oval face: features as regular as those of a Grecian statue wasn't she beauti ful?" "I suppose she was," n ud I, wishing to bo amiable, when thus .appealed to. "I don't want your opinion on that point. I had been among lougli people. 1 had seen lew that could be called le- tiueil, ur beautiful for a long time; but making allowances for all that, sho was certainly one of the most loveablo women 1 ever beheld. "When she opened her eyes iu the pale morning light, they weieof thnt lingo of violet grny, shaded by long, datk lashes, so rnn- and exquisite. Her little liatul, uitli its long tapering while liugi rs, lipped with rose, hi r slender, li'lieate tcet; her loim and movements of pirfitt grace, all held me iu a kind oljenchm tmct. " The ears lattli-d and roared along down the Little Miani', and we were Hearing Ciiie'nnati, when I lienrd her speak. It was some trifling question. It had the pifileeci ot a spoiled child mil a spoiled benuty ; but then.' eould bo no mistaking tho pu -e, high breed ing ot her articulation. Hy tho timo it was broad daylight l had studied her well, looking over my newspaper. It was Sunday morning, and no train left Cincinnati until ooning. We rode up town from the depot in the omnibus, and I sat opoosite, and so quite near her. "As I looked, what I supposed inii-t be my last look at her, and must have expressed all the admiration und inter est I felt saying with my eyes: 'Who can you be, U, benutilul one! she appeared to see inoforthe first time. Something mu-t have told her what 1 was thinking. A Hush osmo over her faei very slight, indeed, but still per ceptible. It was a little surpiiso and something which was not indignation. "1 had given my checks tor the Jitir nett House ; it was with n ping that I saw my new acquaintances prepaiv to alight at the Spencer. But while the General,as I heard him called after ward, wn? picking up a shawl that had been dionped, I sprang out into tho snow, and with a look -I doubt not of miiigkil icspect and admiration, nud grief gave my hand to tho lady. She thrilled me through with the lighted and quickest touch possible, as if she did not wish to offend a Granger, by declining what ho meant for a civility, but did not say 'thank yon.' Tho hu's band touched his hat to mo with a cold, proud look, which I shall never for get. "I re entered tho omnibus, went to tho Burnett House, took a good bath and breakfast, and then went nnd hcatd some lino inusin at tho cathedral, .Mv railroad vision I laid uwa , with a sigh or two, iu the store house of memory, 'At nino o'clock iu tho evening, I left in the cars for Cairo. Tho Ohio was fio.en. As I enteied the car, my heart beat as I caught sight of La Siguora. Tho only vacant seat was near them. I received no salutation and made none, "I knew she saw mo: but sho did not ra'se her eyes The gentleman looked at mo as he might nt any other traveler, but without n sign of recognition, o" any emotion, unless there was a very slight darkening of the brows I could not hi e well by the lamplight. They made their urrangeiiieiits like praotieul tiaveleis, mid slept, or seemed to sl-ep, I sat quite near aud thought. Did you ever feel a superhuman beauty sinking into your heart, deeper and deeper wilh every moment's presence '! "Will-'' 'No matter. Don't answer now. I must tell my story.
