MARGUERITE). cf snr.nntu. kike; Every oho admits that n doctor's ilfo is one of frugality, hardship, labor and priva tion, nnd yet I nm prepared to provo that being a pliysiciain is a condition that has its advantages. If I had been a lawyer, clergyman, bank er, merchant, butcher, baker, candlestick maker, or anything clso up to tho acino of absolute unoccupied swelldom, tlio occasion or which I nm going lo tell you vrould never liavocomo in iny way; and on account or tho extremely felicitous nature, of that o(v casion I say, 'LNeukipius hail I It was ono cold January night, and tlio keen wind was rutting and Hijipitig my face as I walked along Iho citvslreetsccling thoroughly chill ed and uiiroirirortablc, when, turning a corner, t cairio suddenly in view br a perfect splendor of light and warmth nnd comfort that shono through tho enticing glass doors of tho best theatre 111 tho place. 'Almost 111 voluntarily I entered. Tho warm comfoit of tho lobby I fjuiid most grateful, and, see ing n nian I knew, I joined lilm, half intend ing to gossip a few minutes and go home" but ns I waited tho fascinating strains of "Poet and Peasant" reached my cars, play ed by a rather goo i orchestra, nnd this decided me. I bought a ticket nnd entered, but I had scarcely tiken my scat when ono of tho ushers, who happened to know me, camo around front behind tho scenes and said there had been nn accident a man in shift ing oonio of tho scenery had been knocked dowii and injured, and tho services cf a physician wcro required. Of courso there was but ono thillg to do, and that I did with only partial willingness. I wanted to help the man, of course', but I had had a busy day, and was frightfully tired, and beside I had only heard as yet tho first strains of my faVorito selection. However, I told lny friend of tlio lobby to keep my place for me, and followed tho usher out. I found the man but slightly hurt, administered a shake qr two that set him on his feet, and enough brandy to lake him offthem ogaln, and was returning down tho corridor to tho outer World when something of this sort arrested my steps: A door near by was open and just within tho room' stood tlirco figures iu tho very spiciest of costumes. Two of these wero of tlio common typo of ballet dancers, breezy and chirpy, and in tho condition' iii which tbb familiar riddles likens them to a mad dog that wants muzzling j but the third was of : distinctly different stamp. It was not that sho was so beautiful, for I had not ob served that then j but that sho was shame faced, modest nnd shrinking, and drew back in frightened confusion behind tlio others and Fcemed to falter and tremble. I watch ed them ns they twitted her and encouraged her alternately, and saw that, though they wero far from being unkind, they could not succeed In reassuring her, or imparting to her any sharo of their own bold courage. As I stood, screened from view, at tho girl moro closely, I saw that sho was almost a child nnd I saw, too, then that she was Very beau tiful, nml that the bare limbs Hint she strove so ineffectually toomceal behind the iii'eagro draperies of her companions, were exquisite ly molded and full of delioato grace. An- bthcr moment's scrutiny revealed to ho tho fact that underneath tho daubs Of rouge, with M hich they had profaned her innocent cheeks, was a deathly pallor Which niy pro fessional cyo nt onco divined and appreciat ed, and Which impressed mo with such forco that without moro ado I took a few hasty strides add went up to them. " Exeuso me," I said, speaking to the manager1, who jusl then came up, "but this 011113 lady Is ill. Bho is not fit to play to night. You must have her excuebd." "Impossible," tho man replied, hastily and decidedly. "This ft her ildrnt. Sho has been practicing for it ft long timo and she is about our best dancer. It Is only a little et? go-fright, which will iss off 01100 sho begins to dance'. Conic, no nonsense." This last ho addressed to the girl in ft lone of authority that seemed to alarm her and which certainly enraged me. Ily this I was more determined than ever not only be cans! I would not havo tho poor little tiling bullied, but also beeduso I had found her little hand cold as ice when I had taken it iu m,ne and her pulse galloping liko mad. I sn'-, Thompson, I, said; in a tono which I made just as rbtoluto as I possibly could, but which was persuasive ami good humoicd ns well, "this sort of a tiling won't do, you know. It simply is out of tlio ques tion. I tell you this girl is ill. If sho goes on the stage, ten to one sho faints dead away an awkward thing in any case, but if it is known (us it will bo if tho necessity arises) (hat you foroed her to go in direet opposition to tlio Imperative, warning of a physician, why tho thing will look black for you, don't you bout Now, let tho girl off, do. She'll infallibly get you in troublo if she goes on, and I tell you this is noeommon stage fright. Tlio child is ill. Look at her." She had sank back on n chair and hasti ly drawn a shabby shawl over her, and sho sat with white parched lips and distended eye-lids, breathing heavily and with diffi culty. Perhaps it was because Thompson saw that she would get him in trouble If ebe went on perhaps because bis studious ly barricaded heart had partly burst its pris on walls, nnd I rather think it was this lat ter, the man drctv lip his shoulders and gavo in. "All right,"' ho said, htlffly. "Sho pays tho fine, of courso, and sho runs tho risk oflosing her engagement nil for a bit of babyish nonsense, but if sho choose3 to do it, sho can. Thero are thoso who will nlind it moro than I." At these words the girl for tho first timo epoko : " Oh, Mr. Thompson, I will go, indeed I will. I am bolter now," she said, eagerly "I don't think I nni sick. I went through it perfectly tills evening. It is only tho the dress that frightens me. I am not nccus- tomed lo if. I don't seem to know myself in it; but I supposo I will get used to that.' I murmured np:ous"hea veil forbi'd,"undcr my breath! and then Said aloud: "You are liot to dnncp to-night. I tell you you aro ill, and I will liot allow it. I know it. I know your 'condition better than you do,and I know how your licart is plunging and Muttering about quito as well; though it is in your breast and not mine. As to tlio fine, Mr. Thompson," I said turning lo him, "yod and I will settle that." Mr. Thompson, to his credit be it 'said, de clined to allow mo to adjust this matter,soy ing ho would seo to that tho next day when ho camo to discuss tho matter with tho aunt and guardian of Mademoiselle Marguerite. In tho meantime ho notified her associates, who began to ttrcam out of tho dressing rooms, that tho first act was drawing to a close, and tho fifih scene, in which the bal let feature is introduced, was about to bo performed. A certain young woman among them, Airier', bolder and inoroplroucidVi than tho rest was notified, to her apparent satis faction, that tho post of primicro daitsueso would devolve, upon her, instead of Mad emoisello Marguerite; ns tho bills had an nounced, nnd tho airy cavalcade of sylphs and naiads floated on to tho stage. Th'o manager hurried off lo superintend their entree and Maifcmoiscllo Marguerito 'and I wcro left teto-a-tcto. Bho looked gratefully up at mo from her rcfitgo behind tho big shawl ; but I could seo that there was quito as mucli of fright and anxiety in her look as gratitude arid relief. ' NoW tho thing for you to do," I said, nialter-of'factly, "is to get homo as soon as possible. Where do you live?" " Iii Hill street," sho said. Fortunately my professional experience mado this information intelligible, to tne, which mv social knowledge, would certainly not havo done, so I understood that she lived a great way oil' in A very poor but respect able locality. " And how aro you to get there ?" I said. "Tom was to como furnio after tho play." "Who's Tom?" I asked. " Only my cousin," tho answered, in so meek and scared n voico that I divined that my last inquiry had been put in rather an ungentle tone. " And he's not to como until after th'o play?" I went 'on, inoro affably "and meanwhile you aro sick nnd ought to be in bed, instead of waiting hero two hours lor Tom. Sucli a child as you are, too. Why, you ought to bo in bed now. How old ere you?" " Seventeen," she said", stoutly'. " Hardly," I said, doubtfully , "however, you must get ready now. How do you nnd Tom propose to get homo? In the cars ?" '" No; I Always walk," sho said. This determined me. Go and chango Voiir dress now as toon as Vcu can," I saiii, "and wash your face, if you don't want that stuff to poison you. They heed nit havo tricked you out iu all that. Couldn't they seo that your skin was far prettier than pny of their hideous arts could make it? Come, little girl, hurry up. I shall wait outside and see you again." I walked olfds I finished, and sho closed tho door behind me. Borne wcro standing about e'nga god in the numerous unsightly causes which aro employed to produeo har monious effects on the stage, and I walked, lo the side of tho scenes and looked on at tho ballet from there. Goodness I what a pirouetting and chassucing and revolving and kicking 1 I never cared for a ballet, and that flight it positively disgusted me. How glad 1 was that I had kept this little modest daisy out of it I What a lucky thing sho had never been in it at all that this was her tfeiut night I I turned my back upon tho gausy creatures and walked slowly olf. As I did so tho door opened and tho oddltt little vision appeared. How could ten iniiiutes liavo made such a difTerrnce? Instead of being a rcd-chceked, gauzy fair)-, witli half-clad limbs and gossamer wings, I saw a pale, prim, dowdy littlo girl, dressed in worn and shabby garments, with a wee, sweet face lookingout from a battered Shaker bonnet, and os or-folksy and orphaned an air as ever you saw behind a jeanut stall at a crossing. I could not help it I laughed. You would havo laughed, too. Indeed, I bluih to state that I laughed quite loud; but, to my gratification, instead of being offended tho child laughed too, Iiow that sho ws "clothed and iu her right mind," she was no longer shy and constrained. Her agitation had passed off, too, leaving her strongi-r and better, and she gavo mo tho brightest and funniest of looks as she said : " You would not have known mo would you ? I dare say you thought I was alwayi line and beautiful liko that but you tea I am not." I distinctly did see that sho was not fin but not beautiful I No, I certainly failed to perceive that. Why; the child was er, charting, delicate, fair, round, supple, dainty, with as charming a kitten-face OS over you conceived of. Whilo wo wero talking Mr; Thompson camo up, nnd I nsked him to let mo drive Mademoiselle, Marguerito home; Ho was under, the mis taken impression, that I had my buggy be low, as, indeed, I quite intended that lie should be, and, after a littlo demurring; hs assented. " I would not say yes to every gentleman, I can tell you, doctor," ho said. ".But I think I know my man, nnd you can take her. Her aunt is ycry careful about her; and slni'll bo disappointed enough at the job ymVvo ilorio lo-ilight.. Sho had built great hopes e.n the girl's success, and I don't exactly like, i'o see her to-morrow. Supposo you go in and explain matters to her. You did tho mischief and ought to bear tho blame. If she'd been hero it would riot have happened but her baby was sick, and sho could not conic'." I littered a 'd'eVout thanksgiving ltia( It was so, and willingly agreed to meet the aunt and cxpliiin matters. So the girl and myself set out; leaving ,tho manager in a very good .liunior, for tho old hand had proved most satisruptory, and ho knew the now ono might have failed, and the ballet had been a success'.,. Powh nt tho critt-tt)ico to tho theatre J. called a carriage, arid put Mademoiselle Marguerite, into it, and; hav ing followed 1'riys'elf, proceeded to begullo tho tedium of A lone drivo by plvine my companion witli A 'scries of tho most pointed iiiqdiries,whlch doyclopcd tho following facte: That the child's parents wero dead (but eela radians dire, for sho looked too essentially orphaned to odriiit of a doubt); also that Ehe lived with her aunt, who was vcrv kind and good, but very .poor; aud, as I learned now from Maggie, riot Wholly unconnected with tlio laundry bilsiricss sho had no hus band and many b'Abies : I also learned that tho rupturo of this .engagement would greatly annoy and Vex her kind protectress. who had counted milch on tho wages her skilful littlo dariscuto nlcco would receive. When we reached Hie' "exceedingly hum bio dwelling on Hill street which my com pahio'n designated as her residence, I en tered 'And had the honor of a presentation to tlio nlint.with whom I had on interview, of which it is necessary to stato nothing ex ccpt that it was of a satisfactory nature. Tho next morning', happening to havo a patient iu the neighborhood, I called again, and discovered Maggio (for so her mint au daciously addressed tlio quandom Madem oiselle Marguerite) laboriously lugging around a big boy baby with as natural and motherly a littlo air as if gauze wings and breezy costumes were things that had no existence outsido hiv own brain. Sho had a cozy, comfortablo littlo way with her as I saw her trim) that mado her Ec'em not leu childlike, though Inoi'o womanly. Seeing sue was ttui paio irom last ingiit a attack, 1 told her lo go oil' and get ready for a drive. She obeyed in tho simplest and most pleased way, leaving mo Again with her aunt. I thought when she returned sho would have made some effort nt smartness in her ap parel, but there was. liot. tho least. How ever, tho deep bonnet had been replaced by a big and widcspicadillg hat, Very scant as to trimming, and very iloilcoininit.il as to shape; but Eomehow shb looked very sweet in it, and; as I drove alofg with her, plying her with deep-laid, questionings, and cau. tisusiy drawing her out', I somehow got to find u great senso of comfort and pleasure from tlio presence of lilch perfect innocence, truth, and genuineness, as I discerned in my little ballet; patient. I did not go to the park, purposely, chocking a more secluded route ; but as v?i 'drovd along I, encountered several peoplo whom I knew and was forced to recognize, who looked at ine nnd at my stron go companfoil with a surprise mitigated by the, fact thot.'cVery one considered Mr. Monroe an oddity an unaecountablo mar, who cared nothing for what peoplo thought. Iu reality I minded tli'cir comments so little and was so littlo Influenced by the stares my elegant lady, friends directed toward mo ns thoir swell equipages bowled past that I got In tho habit of taking Maggio with mo every .evening oii my rounds, and I found myself growing oddly dejienderit on the pleasure of these drives. The little crea ture wAs to 'artless, nnd naive, and charm ing',.lhat contact and association with her were to mo a delightful chango from the forms and manners of other people. I wonder if I have succeeded, in a sort cf sneaking attempt, which I will own to, if making you regard ino as a respectable, middle-aged physician, hojielcssly old and tedious', and lieyond the rango of tender passions of any kind I If I have, the whole structure must bo pulled down now, and I will have to ask you to receive with your acquaintance a young man of twenty-eight, by no means antcdeluvian as to dress and manner, and well-looking, ns ho Is told: This statement of facts is necessary just here lo make you oompreheud how it was that the sweet little Maggio artnally became fond of ino and mado lue see it. As I had previously nsecrtniued the fact that I was exceedingly fond ( her, I look a Week to think about it, and then went to the aunt to propose certain plam, which; being put into execution, resulted in a boardirig-school for Miss Maggio and plenty of wholesomo instruction, prosecuted under my especial care and guidance, which was so successful that in two years tliey gavo me back my Mnpgie, a pretty tolerable scholar nnd a mos uncommonly pretty littlo woman. When they gavo her back to me what was I to do with her? I had a highly Kitisfaetary plan in view myself, but was doubtful as to how she might reoeivo it. To my everlas! ing joy and gratitudo sho took "it after a little jwrsuasioD sho distinctly favored it, and so, without much more ado than Weir mick's " Halloa, here's a church t let's have a wedding," sweet Maggio arid I were mai ril. Thero wero no such tiresome prelim" narios as consulting relations arid informing friends. All that came afterward, when I presented them to Mademoiselle Marguerite as Mrs. Monroe. After all, thero is some thing to be, gained by having a reputation for eccentricity! for, knowjng my nature anil habits of life,, peoplo oitly said it was jutt what might have beeri expected of Dr. Monroe, and without Irlore ido culled at his pretty new establishment to fo hit pretty new wife, and aa many as came once raoJa' gain, for my Maggie wen all hetvrtt
