A CHILD OF THE STREETS . CHAPTER f. . A CHILD OF TUB STRRKT8," In an upper room of one of the houses in the densely-populated neig-hlwrhood of Covent Garden sat a girl cross-lep ged on tha nncarpeted floor, sinpngr "oftly to her self over her task of mending: a very tat tered, faded petticoat. It Tras a long, low apartment, with a slanting, smoke-blackened celling, clone under which three nar row apertures, doing the work of win dows, admitted a very small portion of heaven's light. Face and voice and attitude indicated a placid content with present condition and prospects, notwithstanding the scanty clothing the girl wore, and the broken furniture of the room she inhabited. In spite of all its defects, this garret had been her home ever since she could remember anything, and would remain so, just as long as she could earn enough to pay the very modest rent. Her age was sixteen, her face exquis itely pretty, and what is more remarkable in a girl of her cafte," both intellectual and refined ; for Mysie O'Farrell was only a waif, a stray, a child of the street, a little London lass, who lived from hand to mouth on the chance wages which her singing earned from passers-by on the lvement. One stormy winter evening, some six teen years back, a woman, with a baby, a whisky-bottle, and a brogue, had come to this same house seeking a night's shelter from the wind and rain. Judging by her appearance, the landlady reckoned her up as a tramp, but admitted her. Here it was the weary woman ceased from her wanderings, and made her home in the garret, under the slanting roof. A malignant fever, prevalent in the neigh borhood all through one dreary season, numbered the poor Irishwoman among its victims, and little golden-haired Mysie O'Farrell was left to fight the battle of life as best she might in the heart of crowded, cruel London. So the girl grew up to womanhood. Fortunately from her mother she had in herited the rare gift of a singing-voice, thanks to which she had so far leen al ways able to keep a roof over her head, and a loaf in tli cuplmard. And the fu ture ws left to take care of itself. At la-t her task wan finished, needle and thimble laid aide. and the once ln-ight-hned g.-irment donned. The wear er glanced d-iwn at its failed folds with a smile. Between two of the windows, nailed up against the wall, was a small looking glass in a cracked frame. Before this mirror stood Mysie O'Farrell. critically scanning her own image, as she twisted her long, fair hair into one heavy coil, fastening it up with a broad hit of ribbon that onre was blue. Her beauty was the effect of the combination of Spanish lan guor and Irish vivacity, to which might 1 added a dash of native drollery. A loud knocking at the door of the room startled the girl in the midst of her toilette. dune in," she said without turning her head, and a boy entered who seemed to have le.n well acquainted with "pov ertv. hunger, ami dirt." I say, 'Mysie, how late you are and after suyin' yon'd l-e outride theC-olonnade at five. I waited ever so long, keeping a sham look-out right and left. But it's as well I was there, as it turned out. anil I'll tell you why. I'm just in luck's way find so are vmi, I reckon." 'Have you really had good lm-k, fia bviel? Ifimso glad. dear.

JANUARY 22, ISS6 anout six years oi age, at wnicn period of his life he asserted tnat ne naa sa u day long by the side of a woman, whom he supposed must have been bis mother, and helped her to cook chestnuts tinder an old railway arch somewhere near a river. He was a handsome lad when he liked to wash off the stain of the city's smoke and the dust of the streets a black-eyed, sallow-skinned, fierce kind of beauty. Such aa be was anyhow, he satisfied Mysie O'Farrell, who had loved this dark-eyed boy, first by habit, later on by inclination, but in one way or another ever since they had met as children on the London pavement, and sworn eternal friendship over the first handful of cop pers they had earned by their joint sinjr- iner- ..... (iubriel was well scquamted with sin m all her many hideous shajies. He loved the little girl who had grown np by his side, as a man imift inevitably love what is lieautiful and pure. His affection for her was perhaps the only true vein in bis selfish, pleasure loving character ; it held her sacred in bis eyes, but did not prevent him from pursuing other women, of a very oppo site type to Mysie. when he wns away from her; yet she. too. in her way. 7 r haps by habit, perhaps by strange affinity of souls, b-id grown a necessity to his ex istence, lie did not see that the real se cret lay in the genuine love of this one for him which all the others lacked. "Well, ain't yon glad. Mysie I think we're in for a reg'lar good thing." "Oh. Gabriel. I am glad you met that kind man. an.l I hope he may help us to get along, only " and Mysie paused an.l puckered her white brow doubtfully. Only what, now? Jome, out wun n. "Only I wish you hadn't said I was your sister. I shall have to go on tening the same lie every time I see this man. and I'm certain some day to let it out. "All right, so you can later on, don t ya see. Mysie only sighed. "Some .lav." said Gabriel, "when I've got a real giod thing at the theatre, we'll go and get spliced, but there s no nuirj about that business. e needn't wait for the parson's leave to love each other, eh?'' and he drew down her pale, son iace, aim looked closely and curiously into her large blue eyes, that met Ins so stead fastly. "I don't quite understand you, Gabriel dear. Of course I sha'nt wait for anyone to give me leave to love you. I have al ways done that, and always shall but, of course, to be your wife you will have to marry me." Could you live without me, Mysie t I mean wonld yon be content all your life to be no more to me than you are to-day T Would you be satisfied to lie my sister always, as now, and see another woman my wifet" He watched her changing expression narrowly, perhaps anxiously. "Well." she said at last, and a tender, far-awr y look stole into her Hue eyes, and made them dim and soft, "that's dif ficult to say, Gabriel. I know what I mean, but the words won't come. I shouldn't like to see another girl your wife, and I'd rather come and live with you altogether, liecam-J I could do every thing for you mend your clothes, and cook your meals, and all that, and it would be nice to see you pleased. But still, if you didn't wish it, anil didn't care to marry me right off, I should le happy enrugh going on as we are doing now; shouldn't you f Gabriel laughed and kissed her pretty bright hair. "Oh, then you can lie jealous, eht But come along ; we must lie off. We'll take a new track to-night, and come home with no end of coppers to a Jolly spread. Come on'." And Mysie crossed her plaid shawl over ber worn dress and drew her veil over her face. So they stole down the rickety, broken stairs and let themselves out into the crowded, gas lit streets, to earn the price of a supper, or each go hungry back to bed. A few days later, Gabriel and Mysie found themselves at the hor of the bouse of Kignor Brunetti, director of the Ii.yal Olyntp'ftTi Opera Company. The trial of their voices did not last very long. It took place in the presence of the director and that great master of tin; vocal art. Andrew Brevet, who. at its close, rising from the piano, thus address ed them: -Von can go now, but remember, you must be with me punctually everyday at the hour I fchall indicate. Ni-nor Bru p-tti will provide you with money an.l clothes, which will render it unnecessary for yon to sing in tiie sti-eetH. You quite underhand, that rmii-t not hapten again. Some day .mi can repay him if you suc ceed. Be sure. l.e punctual, and steady." "G.mi I bye. Miss Cole," added Brunetti, .0 Un l.f.1.1 oncn the door for the pair to pass through, fixing his lxild blue eyes on Mysi'j's face as bho shyly bade Lim lare- "V ell. was I ml-taken this timet Will they .ioT' asked Brunetti. turning to bis companion when they were alone. "I cannot yet say, so much depends on the personal energy of e.T-b. I lelieve the rirl has genius. We slmll see. The. N.y 'has a glorious organ, but I think he w:'l not c.i-ent to drn lg"r'.

"What sacrilege to the Queen of Song. No; her true name is Mysie O'Farrell, I beard. On the night of her dfhut at Mar gurite, a certain royal jersonage in Her Msjesty's box was heard to remark, Such a f.ice as hers must Eocene Sue have seen when he wrote of the Fleur do Marie.' The saying was caught up, as princes' sjieeches usually are, and the name stuck to her." "When did thiB 'star' apiear in the Heme Bay heaven?" By the 11 -'Sli down.

"Ta-ta." and with a laugh he turned and strode up the beach, humming as he went a broad built, blue-eyed, bronzed Englishman, of medium height, and captain of the good shiji Nimrod. The dressinggong had sounded through the Dolphin liotelsome ten minutes when two men entered the hall and looked at the clock. "As I thought, we are late," said the captain, and he hurried up the Wide stair-case, leaving his more careless com panion to f. .How at his leisure and pleasure. At as slow a pace as if he were taking part in the vninuH de la rour. and as if j there were no such Words as apjietite and dinner in his dictionary, Cuthtiert Newen j sauntered down the long, dimly-lighted j passage, and entered his room to dress. Cuthliert Newen was a dandy from the I crown of his close-cut, curly, dark head, I to the soles of his well-shod, well-shaped feet. Whether his character was as effemi nate as his tastes remained to be proved. Hitherto hisvareer bad been one of For tune's favorites. He had seen the best part of tbe world, but had never for one moment rouirhed it. "I say, Newen. are yon ready! Sonji's a thing of the past, and if we don't mind we shall miss the fish. I came in to tell you a bit of news. No end of a 'go. As good ss a play!" "What's up, now! Another prima don na arrived!" asked Newen carelessly, as lie dosed his door and followed his friend down the passage. "Now that's a good shot, as it baj.jiens. I told yon the Fleur de Marie was here. Well, by the next train down comes ber great rival in all her war-paint, the queen of contraltos." "What, the Leojiardi?" "Yes, the Ieopanless' herself. Quite by crhanee, I believe. Of course, the man ager of th; hotel was aware of the com ing collision ; but he knew better than to let the cat out of the bag. Why. it's the making of the man. Half London will tie down here presently. I believe the tenor, Gabriel, is exjiocted to-morrow. He is always to lie found in the shadow of one of the fair ladies. Poor chap! I always pitied biiu so much. Naturally be must admire them both, being, as they are, beauties of such cot.tast. He must feel like an ass lx-twcen two bundles of hay. . Doubtless, lie has a rare old time of it with them, for I lielieve even the immac ulate Fleur de Maine is, like London, at bis feet. It's n good thing that the emni ' tv of rival-y isall on the one side between these women, or the betel wouldn't bold them, dime on. the Leopardi isn't down yet. Prolatbly she's jxiwdering! Fleur ( tie Marie is ut at the other end. Lucky dog, your sent makes her your rit-a-vit. Mine is on t he opposite side. I must con sole myself with her rival here she comes." And Captain Onrzon stej.ivd aside to let ber pass. A wbispier among tbe waiters, a slight stir at the table, and .slie had t-wept into the vacant ciiiiir near the window which Lad been reserved for her. Newen took his seat, and after glancing down the in'n'r. raised hi eyes f.r a leis urely survey of those present. This was Fletir.de Marie. He looked at her Iwt woi.4l barrier of twisted i-ilver branches gnrlandetl with liow.-rs; looked.

Cutbert Newen started and glanced at tbe speaker. Lorita Leopardi was a fine dark woman a red and white beauty, with full face, and figure inclining to embonpoint, just such as Reubens put into his pictures, lips like pouting poppy-leaves, hair black as night, eyes as dark as it is possible for eyes to be that are only brown. A bad. sensual face, at once revolting and at tractive. "Are you one of Lorita's admirers!" asked Curzon, as they sat over wine and cigars, when the ladies bad quitted the room. "No, there's too much of her." Can't you have too much of a good thing!" Query. You say she is a fine creature so is a tigress." "But doesn't she dress well!" "That's decidedly an open question in ber case. She leaveB nothing to the imagination." "Come now, you are too hard on her." "Better than being too soft, which wouldn't pay." "What do yon say to Fleur de Marie!" "Nice-looking little thing, as blondes go," replied Newen, leisurely sipping his claret. "Nice-looking, indeed! What a critical chap you are. Why, she's a pearl!" "Hush, they are singing. Let's join them. It is worth bearing." They lingered at the ojeii door to listen. Newen loved music as part of that jas sion for the beautiful which possessed bim. A few simple chords struck by fingers "as fair as the lilies," and then it broke forth. aH if impatient of control, that voice which flooded the room with melody and arrested even the stejw of the passers-by on the pavement outside, who stojjed spell-round by the window. The one most keenly alive to the power and purity of that voice exjTi.-nced a sense of relief when it was silent. It was indeed a novel sensation for bim, the world-weary man. to feel his heart throbbing in such a tumult of mingled pleasure and jwin. She had chosen that pretty simple old ballad, which all F.nglish girls know so well, "On the lauiks of Allan water." j The clear, bell-like tones fell on the air j like droj of some divine essence of sound. At the close of the song no one j apjilauded. no one thought of praising the j singer, and so far from calling for an en- i core, nearly all those present felt that one ballad sung by that one voice was just . about as much as they could tiear, and already several beads had turned aside. , Fleur de Marie rose from the piano, and quietly bowing to the assembled , company, floated down the room, her del- i icate draperies floating after ber as she went. Her companion followed, bidding "good night" riubt and left. The Leojiardi. who bad lxen lying back in the depths of a divan, listening with half-closed eyes, now looked up over the top of her black Fatiu fan, an.l showed all her brilliant white teeth as she said: Was there ever so sad a song! I must own that, for my part, I like to leave a smile with my audience, and not a tear." So saying she moved towards the j.iano. She was determined to dispel the effect pro biced by her rival's song; so, with a couj le of crashing chords and a lanj-h, she threw lck ber head and dashed in to a wild Jacobite bnllad, entering fully into the spirit which breathes through every word. Her voice was too perfect to fall short of its aim. A burst of applause ran? through the room as tbe singer paused, flushed, triumjibant, and breathless. Then, almost before the excitement which she caused subsided, she broke forth again into that inimitable ju'ece of musical mu tiny. "La Marseillaise." The listeners rose to their feet and rushed towards the nano, with one ac cord clapj.ing their hands. Outside, on the pavement, the crowd that had gath ered in the moonlight shouted loud hur rahs and called for encores. But Lorita. though she laughed, well pleased, plead ed fatigue. Fleur de Marie and her sad-sweet beau tiful ballad, were, for the moment, forgot ten. After all. the world has an Ajn il heart, and it liketh letter to laugh thin to weep. "Come, now, I must own that's more to my taste." said Curzon. bis lshrinir face once more bright and smiling. "Thri-e's trouble enough in this world without singing dirges." To be Continwd.

My friend twgan thus: 'The strange thintr I sm einf to tell you is true; I know It because have It from a friend, or, rather, a relation, of one of the officers on board the ship. ome years atro, leforethe existence of the Sue? Canat a large F-ast Indiarnan was making ber way easilv, with light summer winds, along tnrongh the Indian Ocean to Calcutta. Tbe Cspe bad been passed several days liffore, and now, with charming weather, officers and passen gers, to say nothing of the crew, were look ing forward to the end of what bad been a jileasaut, though quite uneventful voy age. "They bad had nothing more serious than a half-gnle o' wind.' had met only three or four ships homeward tiound ; and in spite of a score of more sgret able passengers, in spite of la-st sensation novels, of musical entertatnmenta, of flir tations by moonl'ght on deck, and even tn spite of unlimited gossip, the days had grown very monotonous, and the weeks unaccountably long; even bght hearted middies bad begun to chafe and fret over the long confinement on ship board, and the young ladles to sigh for an I excitement. j I take it for granted that yon know 1 that t he aervice of the Knst India Com- I pany's ships was like the Naval tn its or- ganizatkra; there were captain, lieuten ants, midshipmen and petty officers: the . ships were mounted with heavy guns, and 1 were well srrned, and manned with men trained for righting. The voyage was . long, and In time of war tbe ludiamen were reenrded as very desirable booty, t These ships were lartre, strongly built and j very commodious, and often luxuriously fitted np. ! The day had been hot, and tbe light ; wind had died almost entirely aw ay ; the great ship rose and fell on the long waves, and her sails bung loosely from the tall t masts that slowly swayed back and forth 1 with a monotonous, creaking sound one t knows so we ll who lias been much at sea. It was fiundown,' anl the short twilieht I of the tropics was fast deepenins into night ; everybody had come upon deck to enjoy such whiffs of air ns might be stir rlnc, the passengers and officers on the quarter-deck, while the crew were hanging j over the side or lazily lounging on the neat coils of rope al.ut the deck. "SudwWilya faint, very faint sound ' , so faint, one knew not what tt was nor j whence it came or scarcely if there had , beon a sound at all. People asked each other about it ; some had heard it and others had not ; mid after some discussion 1 it wnss de. i.:e"l there really was nothing . at alL And just as they reached that con clusion the sound came ngnin, and a little clearer, more jKisltive than tw?fore, so that every one heard somethim;. 'It was the moan of the breeze through the rlgeing '.

And then the thiiiit was talked over and over, and everylxxly had a theory, and no ody was satisfied w ith any of them. "Meantime it grew darker, and the creat stars of the Southern World started out, making the night luminous v. ith their won derful glory. "A silence fell upon the busy I tongues, and all eyes were trazit; upward, 1 when suddenly through the hush broke the ' tone of a 1 I1. Full, clear, musieal it rang I out. then died slowly, seeniincr to go further i and further away, until the last faint i found came from a lonerlKtnr.ee off; then ' again silence, and jieoplo 1. Hiked strangely at each other, and almost ss if they were fearful of breaking that stillness by speak 1 ing the words that hung on every lip. At ( laat Captain Stanley hailed the masthead, i "No, sir, nothing in sight- It's a little rnlhtvupto windward. 'Keep a sharp lookout d'ye hear ' 'Ay, av, sir !' "A slight jiufT of wind blew past the I phlp just slight enough to lienr the di ' titict tone of the mystcrionsbell.and also to : tell from which direction it came: it was deeper, clearer, fuller than before. The mystery deei.ened, but Caj.tain Stanley ' saiil, qmctly: 'That mist undoubtedly i holds the solution of the sfTair : it i some j ship's bell, as wc shall st; as soon as it ! Wis a little.' But hour after hour went 1 on, snd still tbe mist bung low on the j water, and still the mournful sound of that 1 bell was borne tv the cars Ji-rlCIivd ' nil through the niuht on lwmrd the Dare. ! Few left the deck, and all night long tha ! sad, weird tolling kept them company- row seemingly closer to them, and again so faint snd far away. It w as uncanny, and to the sensitive ones sounded like tlie strokes of doom. Just before early dawn, while it wa yet only a clear starlight, the mist lifted, and at once came the cry from the mast- bead: Something to windward.' 'What is she like' 'Well, it's a queer sort of craft alto- gether.' 'Mr. Crabby, will you tro up and see what you makb 01" her' said Captain Stfluley; and Mr. Crab-n. a light footed young middy, sprang up the rlgninsr. and in a few moments returned, saytiic : "She, or it, is a very queer-looking thing, sir; it is pn-tty dark yet, but, as well a I can see, it looks like a big flat boat with a sort of house on it tt floats low in the w ater.
