AT AT I SAO “LA FILOMELA.” 1be hard work of my practice in London had so completely exhausted ago, I was obliged to seek rest and change, Having great faith in variety of work as a tonic and restorative, I determined to spend some months in Paris, where I might, if so minded, follow ap a specialty in which I was greatly interested, and yet live comfort- sister, a widow residing in that cheer- fal capital for the education of her two daughters, For a fortnight after my arrival I led made me the attendant of my sister and nieces, who appeared to consider “Uncle Paul” pendsge. Mary and Liuey were charm- ing girls, aged respectively sixteen and seventeen, aud my sister had cause for the triumph she felt in the success of her mode of bringing them up, for they were thoroughly well informed and sccomplished, and yet seemed tc be without any consciousuess that their intelligence and acquirements were above the average. Of course I heard a greai deal of their instructors. They laughed at their (German master in an amiable way; im- itated the flery Italian, whose patriotism was the mwofy for most eloquent courses; and pitied the Parisian, who sould not persuade herself their accent was sufficiently pure. Their love and admiration was reserved for their sing- ing mistress, for whom they had nothing but praise so unqualified that I saw the girls were victims to one of those pas- sions evoked m school days, which, fer strength and vehemence, are often pro- totypes of the love of later life, They called this lady (whose name was Ginlia Martigny) “La Filomela,” and told me if I could Lut hear her sing, I should never again menfion such second voices as those of the or lonne of London, Paris and Vienna, whose organs I had hitherto been accustomed to consider entirely satisfactory, My s'eter was very fond of Signorina Giulia, told me she would like to know something of her history before permitting the intimacy for which the girls ware eager. “Does the lady encourage them?” wked 1, “By no means,” was the answer; “she disgourages the slightest attempt to establish more friendly relations; and all ¥ know of her is that she was trained for a publie singer, and has for some jgeasons entirely relinquished the careef, and will only teach or perform at privite concerts, and even then she 1s capficions m her choice of houses to which she will go.” “In what way?” 1 inquired. “She has never sung for any of the Americans here, but for French, Eng- rate bat ality she will always appear; and her voice and style are really quite ont of she common, ed well in public, I am certain.” “Strange!” I said. ‘*What belongings has she?” “That I really do not know,” replied my sister, “I have heard her meation he lives with her.

The opening words of Braga's serenata, *'O quali mi risvegliano,” filled the vesti- bule with wistful, longing tones, and a soft accompaniment on piano and violin harmonized to perfection, It was only for a few bars, however, for Lucy's little voice took up the strain, and the spell was broken, [ went to the morn- Hp os in search of my sister, and asked if it wore “La Filomels” I had heard; « needless qaestion, for T knew it could be no one else, and was filled with ou desire to hear her notes again, Laura told me that most likely she would not sing any more, as she very reldom did so, and that her method of tenohing was one of her peculiarities, 1 | being condueted so much more by pre- | cept than example, and yet entirely successful, “But,” she added, *‘‘I have taken tickets for a concert in ald of some | charity which 1s to be held at the house { of the Duchess de IL’Agan next week, {and as ‘La Filomela' is to sing two | songs, you had better go with us and { hear her.” “Willingly,” 1 rephed. “It wonld | greatly please me to see the possessor of such a voice,” | My nieces were delighted that I had | heard their nightingale, and told me she | take the violin accompaniment, | then I saw *‘La Filomela.’ | I describe my impressions?

My ached at having to let her go with ’ face, Laura told me that Giulia had been obliged to tell her the seclusion in which they lived was caused by the enemy who ruthlessly pursued them with some motive for revenge, Bhe which she had been edneated, becanse it made hiding impossible; and she further confided to my sister that ' next turn came in its course, and then played the excellence of her training { and the beauty of her voice, but to me it was meaningless, In the first piece was the soul of the singer, in the see- ond only the power of the songstress. After she left the room it became dark to me, and promising to return in time to escort my sister to Ler carriage, I went out nto the starlit streets, thank- ful to be alome, for I realized at once what had befallen me. I, Paul Messent, wrapped up beart and soul in a pro- fession which devours the minds and bodies of its votaries, had fallen blind- ly, desperately in love with this girl whom I had seen once and heard twice, | and for me the world was changed. I passed a wakeful night, but by the morning my resolution was taken and my plans made, I would seek this girl, and if possible win her, Why should I not! 1 felt certain that no fault of her own caused her isolation, anything else I cared not at all, A week after the cohcert my sister gave a musical party, and then [ had a chance of speaking with La Signorina Martigny. Bhe was sweet and gracious, and one evening's companiouship | seemed almost to make us friends, | { went to évery house I could at which | sho sang, and used every means in my | power to penetrate the veil of mystery { with which she enveloped herself: in vain. At the end of a month I found | myself more foudly sttached to and {| more hopelessly apart from her than I could have believed possible, 1 had | never passed her threshold, but I haunted the street in which she lived, | just for the sake of seeing her enter or descend from her carriage, and gaining | & smile or look of recognition, and for | tating an avowal of my passion tu her, | when one afternoon my sister said: ! house,” | “Indeed!” sald I; **have you made | any startiing discoveries?” “No,” was the answer; “but I think Ginlin was vexed with me.” “Why did you go?” asked 1. *‘1 had a note from her this morning, jrow's lessen till Thursday,” was the $ | to marry him, but that she could not do. The next few hours passed slowly for Burely darling, my gaining with somewhat unusual rapidity a large practice, At four o'clock I was admitted to the patient, whom 1 found suffering under a distressing paroxysm of his malady, and I was thankful to be of use to him. At length he fol! asleep, and I persuaded Giulia to leave him to the care of their old servant, and to take some rest, She was engaged to sing that evening atl the told me the duchess was to have a large party, and connted on her presence, and as abie had been one of her earliest, and was alwas of ber kindest friends, she aunxions to keep her appointment, [I could assure her I thought her father wonld more for the present, but hid from her that his case was desperate and the end not far distant, though I apprehended no immediate danger, She consented to allow me to sit with him during Ler absence at the concert, and 1 promised to go to the Bue Bel Perpino, where the duchess lived, to moet Lier as she left, and convey the latest news of the patient, ‘ Aly watch by the old man’s side soon passed; he was dreadfully weak, but talked to meapparently with confidence, He said that with his death Ginlia's fife would change, and that he believed it would be a happy thing for his dar ling when he was taken. ‘Bhe will not think 80,” he addad in his feeble voice, “we love each other so dearly,” Before eleven I took my way down the Avenue Friedland to the Rue Bel Perpino; the duchess’ house was near the corner, and as I was early I did not enter the street down. It was April, and the soft spring night was delicious. There had been a shower, and the pavements gleamed in one Was suffer no fow.

Her father lives with her, 1 feel sure, and he is old and in- firm.” / “You ought to be a detective, Laura,” sald I, “‘with such powers of observation and deduction,” That evening as I was making m accustomed patrol in front of Ginlia's house, I noticed a man, tail and dark with a pointed beard, who also walked w and down before the same residence, o looked continually at the first-floor windows of No. 17, where were ‘La Filomeln’s” apartments, He was dressed as a gentleman, and looked strong, but I observed ho had a slight limp, For three evenings 1 noticed him, and began to wonder why he was was raised so that the light fell strongly on him for a moment, I saw a black. pointed beard, and needed not that he should move away with a slight limp to dwelling, begged for a seat in her carriage that I might go home with her, Bhe seemod su her to give me a fow minutes’ conversa- tion, Bhe went to look at her father, who was sleeping peacefully, and then came back to me, thought she ought to be warned about the man whom 1 had seen watohing her house and talking to her coschman ; when 1 described him and mentioned the limp with which he walked, she sank into a chair and became so white I feared she would faint. Her dilated eyes had such a look of terror and apguish in them that 1 could not for. bear taking one of her cold hands in mine aud saying earnestly “*Bignorina, trust me! tell me your secret; I implore yon to let me try and help you.” “Iwill Imust!” she said, “I can bear it no longer alone, This man whom you have secon is Beth Walton, our enemy; wy father wronged him; he was agent in New York for him; his own business wad grievo UNSuConss. ful, and he took some of Mr, Walton's money.
