had noticed that Mr. Thornton was ac
companied by a young man, whom he
utiw introduced as hisson, Hrnry Thorn
ton, who had been studying the past
eight years in Europe, and had now re
-turned—changed from a noisy boy of
fourteen to u polished man of the world.
He had known Gussie Hamilton only
as-a romping school girl before he left
home, and she appeared all the more
lovely. to him from contrast when his
father introduced him.
Henry Thornton decided to remain a
week at and the next morning
found them on the way to the gypsies'
camp.
Upon their arrival they were immedi
ately assailed by several old hugs. who of
fered to tell their fortunes for fifty cents.
They each surrendered themselves and
were, borne off in triumph.
To Florence and Henry they repeated
the usual rigmarole about "light cern
plected gentlemen and dark eyed Indies—
strangers and marriages—letters and jour ,
tls—riehes and deaths;" but Gussie
fared somewhat differently.
She had dropped her money trembling
ly in the hand of the villanious looking
beldame, who drew her aside to a clump
of bushes, cut of sight of the ramp ; and
then, looking her in the eyes till it seem
ed as if she would pierce her through.she
repeated three, times, in a hollow
`•Fair lady, beware of the water!"
Frighomed at the strange manner of
the giffy, Gussie fled from her to her
friend&
"Why, what's the matter Gtossie ? Yon
look scared to death!" eKclaimed Flor
ence, on „seeing her pale face and fright
ened look.
"Oh, that horrid woman!" was all she
could sac.
"Ilan she hurt sou?" inquired henry,
tenderly, at the same time casting an in
dignant. lo•ik at the old gipsy who was
seen aporonening.
"No! no! Take me away! Oh, take
me away !"
Henry helped her into the earringe,and
they started on their way home.

One d.sy they received a dispatch at

tinished Its business and should be th-re
the nest day, and for them to send a car
nage to the depot fur him. Accordingly
it wits agreed that Gussie should take the
rotor ph rain: and drive to town to receive
him.
The time arrived for her ,her to start,
but she was nowhere to he found. The
house• and grounds were searched, but !
Ito traces of her could he had. The see

fearing the worst.
A sight burst upon his vision which
made his heartlipeil fur joy, and falling

to her the lost paddle.
The joy of Florence Lincoln and Hen
ry Thornton at her safe return was un
bounded.
Little remains fo be lold, Henry Thorn
ton and Gussie Hamilton were married
the following winter. Florence Lincoln
was also married, and is now in Europe
with her husband, a man in every way
worthy of her.
Let us take one glimpse of the home of
Henry Thornton and his wife.
The old gentleman who is called grand
pa by those two laughing children on his
knee is none other than James Thornton,
the guardian of Oussie Hamilton.
"Henry, dear," exclaimed Mrs. Thorn
ton, suddenly, "did you know we have
been married just ten years to-day ?"
"No, have we ?" replied Henry, glanc

the then unendored ''era incognita of

&illy and seriously ill; "The Stranger"
was on,the bill of our nest evening per- ,
formance.and it became necessary to send I
a special messenger to San Francisco, to
engage if possible, another actor to sup
ply his place. It so happened that by the
steamer which came into port on the pre
vious day from the Isthmus, a young
English tragedian, whose name, gentle
men. can do no possible good to mention,
arrived to fulfil an engagement at the
Metropolitan, on the following week. By
permission of the managentent of the
Metropolitan. it was arranged that the
young English stranger should, come np
to Vallejo and help us out of cry difficul
, ties on the following night.
"As it was impossible for the stranger
to arrive in time fur the rehersal,the piece
was rehearsed without him ; and as it
was almost dark before the boat arrived
from San Francisco, not one of the com
pany ever saw the young English tragedi
an till he emerged from his room at night,
dressed. and, by a singular coincidence of
circumstances, as the "Stranger." To
those who remember the incidents of, the
play. I need not say that the "Stranger"
and "Mrs. Haller" do not meet until the
fourth act, I was playing the "Baron" in
the piece, and as my part was most, im
portant in support of the "Stranger," I
was requested by the manager, after re
ceiving a hasty introduction in the dress
ing room 'of the new arrival, to, "run
through our scenes" and see that all Was
right before the certain rung upon the
third not.
"It may be remembered by those who
have even a canal knowledge of the play
that. in the third act there is a beautiful
and pathetic song jatrodece4 by a young
peasant girl—a song which she says" Mrs.
Haller" had taught her:
"above a @tient sorrow here—a grief Mt non impart ;
It-breathe, no stah, It shed no team, but it COMILIMo
my heart."
"While this was being sung to the
"Stranger," I could not help observing
that he was strongly moved, and it its
conclusion, when he recited the lines:
have beard that air before, but it
was to no other words.'
'"Francis, share your supper with your
friends ; 1 need none.'
"He came almost fainting off at the
wing where I was standing. I thought I
never saw a better piece of acting.
"Oh my God! My God—my heart is
breaking!" he exclaimed, as he sank sob
bing on my shoulder.
"What's the matter?" I inquired.
"Nothing, nothing ; a baobab, weak,ro
niantic notion, perhaps, but I never bear
that sung but it unmans me. Please come
with me to my dressing-room, and let 138
see about our long scene in the fourth act.
"In the dressing room and in the suc
ceeding act, I could see that the young
stranger was laboring under a strong
mental excitement which he himself could
not account fur.
"Let the scoffers turn lip their noses,
and cry bosh," said Dashall; "but as true
as I hold this pipe in my hand, the poor
young fellow told me : 'I feel, friend, as if
there was something hanging over dm to
night—imagination some may call it, Su
perstition, other—l know not what it is;
but me God ! my God I I feel a strange
fatality over me, as if my very life were
leaving me'"
"It was in vain that I tried to reassure
the young tragedian. Ile seemed like one
over whom SUMO great evil was impend
ing. And as the curtain rang up out the
fourth act, lie seemed so thoroughly ab
surbed and grief-stricken, I deemed it
best to leave him to himself.
"In the fourth act where the "Stran
ger" relates the story of his life, the deep
shame which bus driven him from contact
with the world, his shrinking self-coueln
sion,his utter lonehness,his agonizing de
spair, and breaking heart—a heart re
quiring consolation, as Kotzebue elo
quently described it :
- "wy heart la Illte a doer Ant ee.polebre.
Let what fe attain It mooltlet and dray,
Why one • the wretzho,; ehaenel bon.
To spread peetilouce around 7"
"I never in my life felt so thoroughly
carried away as in the last scene of the
act, where the "Stranger" and "Mrs. Hal
ler" met for the first time. The situation
was so startling as to electrify both actors
and audience. A single glance of recog
nition told the story—a story 'behind the
scenes' a sorrow stricken lonsband and an
erring wile bud come together under cit
eumstances stronger than any novelist
could invent, hut, nevertheless, gentle
men," said Dashall, "what I tell you is
strietly trite."

"Nothin of the sort—Lliat is, at least so
tarots the public ever knew. Between
the fourth and last acts—and then,'mind
von, it was known that the "Stranger"
and Adeline were actually husband and

Adeline lav in convulsions in her dressing
man, a Idle the "Stringer;" in an adjoin
ing appartnierit, sat motionless as death
with his face buried In his hounds, his lin
gers twisted in the masses of his luxur
iant hair. silent save as to the heavy, sup
pressed breathing, which told too plain
ly the inward struggle which was tog-I
ging at his very heart-strings. When all
1 will ready for the fifth act I approached'
vim gently laying my hand upon his!
shoulder, I informed him of the fact.---t
As be looked tip I think I never saw a
face so changed — pale as marble statute,
the large dar eyes sunken in the sockets
and with a look of controlled agony pain
fill in the extreme even for a moment to
look upon. His bearing wee that of al
thorough gentleman, who had made up
inimPto keep his feelings in check even
if the effort should kill him. Walking,
calmly on the stage, he proceeded with
the play with wonderful self-command
till the final interview with the erring
and repentant wife. Pout Adeline came
on the scene sustained on my arm, and
RS she faltered out, "Leave lute," it seem
ed to me as if she would sink fainting to
the stage. To describe the scene that
followed is entirely beyond my power.--
Suffice it to say, that since that scene
was written by the ill-fated Kotzebue. it
has never been acted as it wash that night.
Acteil. did I say ? No, there was no act
ing about it, but a stern and painful re
ality, where fact and fiction were so
strangely blended as to leave upon me an
impression I shall never forget.
"As yon know. Gentlemen, there is not
a line in the whole acetic which did not
directly apply to the actual situation, yon
may judge of the effect wheal rendered
by two highly sensitive natures, wrought
up to the greatest pitch of feeling by the
agonizing realities of the scene.. 'The ne
ws and audience seemed spell-bound 118
the scene reached tts climax, and the rep
entant wife fell fainting at t he: feet of the.
abandoned husband. Pointing seleitianlt'
to heaven, and speaking the concluded
line, 'There, Adeline, you may be mine
again,' he stooped gently down, raised
h her head tenderly from the ground, gave
a partingskisa upon her pale forehead,
laud her gently and reverentially down;
gave a long, tenderly, and heart-broken
look, and, turning slowly up the stage as
the curtain descended, the ill-stared coup
le parted, no more to meet again upon
the earth.
"A headstone at the 'Mission' In. Salt
Francisco bears the names of 'Adelaide'
and the 'Stranger,' who found rest be
neath the waves f the Pacific, being on
hoard the ill-fated Australian steamer
when she was lost, many years - ago., On
her passage from San Francisco; Let us
hope they both have found the' Peace
which seemed denied here in.'another
and a better world,' where sorrow is un•
known and sin can never enter."
