We had lived more than a month under
the same root brinrc I mid her; but 'A'ithout
Imvititf kci'ii her fucc, without bavin;; heard
her voice, it seemed to Inc. in sump way,
Unit I knew Atni'li;i Weston intimately.
Ninht after niiilit, when I eamo homo tired
to my 1 Ijii n rr-. nnd iwed to nit, idly gazing
in the lire, ninl thinking over my day's work,
Ihe same piitirnl hand nt the same hour
uould I ley i n its pructice, and continue it
1 know not till what hour of thu night!
till long after midnight certainly ; for once
or twice, when I returned from the theatre
between twelve nnd one, o'clock, a lii;ht still
burned in M ins VTetton'it room, Miss Weston's
. inuno was still 'gnini', ns Uiu servant ot
the house termed it, when, in a deprecating
wav, she apologized to me for the nocturnal

etc touch than hers. Intler ordinary
. Ciicutnaianci P, n pri lesstonai jierson praciis
' ine of an evenini:, for four or live hours at a
tn ti:h, in the room imuiediately beneath
you, ib not a thing to be desired; but in
whatever mixid I wns, however tired, how
ever depressed, this girl's playing soothed
nie:jei, whether she played a common
place eft ol (p.iadrilhs or wuitz.es, or worked
at, over and ov. r and oxer ugain, a pi ssugu
in sonic exquisitely graceful little reverie
or nocttirue of her own composition. I
t link it must have been the delicate tints)),
the sense of unweurying patience, in all she
did, that give so intinate puthos to her per
formtirjc, or she was not at all a tine, nor
even, 1 ilsire say, a good second-rute musi
cian. At ull event, aud houi v r- it might
have effected higher judges, her playing
touched me singHliiily ; and sitting, us I
bave said, alone of an cvciii.ig, gu.ing
weandlv at the lire, ami lUtutiin. to her. I
useij to 0iitn think ; "Patient urtist, whom
soever you mav be, I know Vou and feel
. - . ' . ,. .
with you. ork, hope deterred, courage,
scant acknowledgment ol your claims,
I You and 1 speak thu same language.
Our wave in the world lie wide apart, nnd
' yet our feat treadiug the same long and lip
j hid road, l'atient artist, you and I are
i akin."
I felt this and lilted tn indulge the feeling;
I and, I'aiicifulh, lo make out Mis Weston's

b.ain might amum: iteclf with, ami wise
enough uol lo court diailluatouuicnt. even in
the most unimportant things of lite. No
doubt, if I Came to know this neighbor w ho
charmed me so in the spirit, 1 should find
her, in the llcali, a common sort of young
woman enough, with largo hands, and de
fectivc nHpirutea, who would give mo a Card
setting lorth her abilities us protestor ot
music, and request me to reccomiuend tier
among my friends. Thu scent of retaining
a sentiment of interest in our fellow creatures
is to imagine much, and know Tittle con
cerning them. Let my patient fellow-lodger
remain unknown to me, even by sight, that
so 1 might be able to listen to her playing
with pleasure, even if we remained under
the same room for years. A friendly hand,
a congenial familiar mind, w ould speak to
me every night, just a long as the artist
herself remained invisible no longer, pro
bably. But I wan wrong. I saw poor Amelia, and
my vague intangible interest became one of
the strongest 1 have felt nt lirst sight, and
for an utter stranger. It happened thus:
1 wo or three tnends were iliiiing with me
one December night n bitter snowy night
it was, 1 remember and know ing we should
be iato, I sent the people of the house to
bed, promising to see myself to tho fastening
of the street door when my friends left me.
1 did so, considerably after midnight; nnd
then having a heap of papers to wade
through, and feeling no inclination for sleep,
made up a blazing tire, and sat myself down
to work. About an hour nnd a half later
at half pnt 'J a. u., that is to say I was
startled by hearing a ring nt the front door
bell. "Well 1 sat up," I thought. "Here
is one of the second floor lodgers dependent
upon his latch key, and carefully bolted ami
barred out by my own hand." And wish
ing to save the delinquent alike from the
bitter cold of tho night air and from the
land lady's wruth, should he ring again nnd
rouse her, I lit my bed room caudle, ran
quickly down stairs and opened the door.
Tho ghost of a girl's face met my sight.
"The latch was down, and I was obliged
to ring," said a hoarse tired voice. "I hope
1 haven t kept any one up nnd the girl
started back on seeing a stranger, und the
blood rushed up violently into her death
white cheeks. "I I beg your pun'.on, sir,"
alio stammered. "I have been attending a
party, and it was so nenr I ran home on foot.
Susan forgot 1 was out, I suppose, and put
the latch down," And then she begged my
pardon again, with a kind of mingled pride
and humility that touched me more than I
cun say.
This, then, was ray patient unknown
artist. The roll of mubio that cho held in
her trembling iingloveiL liands, her plain
jlaCK dress, tier (iesperaieiy uron nice,
would have told me her story in a moment,
even if bIio had not made use of the words
"attending a party." This was my patient
artist ; and ahivhad been doing about the
Ircnrie.t work picking oakum perhaps ex

to do : "p!.iy'tvr' for a dance. 'Anything rt

old, (she was about two and twenty,) great
b'mtre circles made her dark ryes look un
naturally large and melancholy ; her poor
little fragile hands hud tho inexpressible
nerveless look of utter bodily pro.it ration.
When I hud shut llie door and .lighted a
candle that was plncml ready for her at the
bottom of tho stairs, 1 remarked that I hoped
that her lire Was slill uli;;lit. On such a.
night as this, a cup of ho ton or oiren u rn

liy eight next morning tho was giving u
lesson to it pupil, tho only house pjpil she
hud, who came to her thieo times a week at
that hour, because Miss Philips, our land
lady, did unt like nnythiny 'professional''
going on under her roof. .
"I would have mentioned to you, Fir, tiinl
wc had a professional lady in the house,"
said Miss Lucinda Phillips, lingering after
depositing my weekly bill upon the breakfast-table,
and evidently wishing to explain
nwny tho occurrence of thu night. "I should
have mentioned our having a irofe:Si;nal
person -in tho house when vou took the
apartinents, only that wo knew Miss Weston's ;
habits are too quiot that alio isn't likely to
disturb any one. As to her troublim you .
last night, it was the merest accident, 1 run
assure you, sir. She was pluving for a young !
people's party ; and ns tho night was dry,
and the distance .was so short, thought she
might as well suve her cab Jure oy walking
homo. I told her how imprudent it was,
this looming, aud she regrets ns much as
my sister nnd I do thut yuu should have had
the annoyance fit' opening the door for her."
The Misses Phillips were sisters of middle
ago und staunch propriety, and tiuir es
tablishment was a privute house that is to
stiy, a cattl printed "Apartments'' was always
kept in tho stationer's window round the
corner, not their own, when their rooms
worn vacant. I low did the Misses Philips,
ic iding in their own private house a por
tion of which they happened to find too
large for their own use, they said come to
take n 'professional'' person under their
exclusive rooff 1 ha.arded the surmise,
delicately, to Miss Lucinda, and after some
hesitation, and, it is unnecessary to add,
nut a little supetlluous verbiage, got si I (lie
romance, such us it was, of my fellow lod
ger's life.
la the first pla"c she n.., a tiutr 'i d. wo
man ; ouly her hnsbaitd being a gentleman
of family, uccording to Miss Lucinda. ami so,
of course averse to anything professional, it
was cousidereii best for the present that
should retain her maiden name. In the
next she had a child, whom she maintained
with some poor relations of her own in the
country. And lastly, it wae evident though
true to the instincts of her sex, Miss Lucin
da at heart was (pote upon ' tho ftptain's''
side that most ol the results ol tiioso patient,
hours' work, those early lessons, those mid
night vigils, went to support nu idle, dissi
pated husband, who neglected nnd a'Vected
lo be ashamed, of tlio lailhiul hands liiu!
worked for him.
"It's been un unfortunate story nltorother.
sir," said Miss Lucinda ; "and though Idui.'t
deny that the captain's gay, and goes about
to races, and such things, mid spends ccry
f:u thing ho can gL-t out of heron himself am!
Ins own pleasures ; still, every ouo must id
low it in a hard thing for a gentleman of mini -
ly to be brought lo see his wife work. He
says himself he'd never hud to leave the
army, if he had not married; pi-chiips lie
wouldn t ; but as it is it took all her little
fortune o! two thousand pounds to pay his
debts, and as hu was obliged to sill his
commibion, to save himself from going to
jail, I can't say that I think it w as akoL-th-
er his wile Who ruined him. However that
may be, ruined he was. His friends ami J
he's got tho very highest connections re- j
fused to help him nny more; nnd Amelia,,
with a baby six weeks old, aud very weak ;
iu her own health, w us throw n, you. may i
say, upon the world ; for thu captain, poor
gentleman, he was so cut up about it all,
lhat ho went off abroad with what little
money ho had to Baden, I think it was for i
the summer. It was then that Mi's. Fit.
gerald took to music us a profession. Her Captain Fitzgerald is not at all a man I nd

'Well, sir," proceeded. Miss Lucinda, pa
thetically, "of course, it w as a great come

house to house as a music mistress; but, bit

take hi r maiden name again, so us to run
no risk of disgracing him or hisconneetioiis ;
ami this she has done from this time, about
two years ago, till now. The way she came
to live with us was this : as sho got on in
her teaching, it was found n disadvantage

timu sho came, poor thing, she called my i
sister aud me into the room, and told us !
the whole story. Bhe had been advised not .
to lo so, she said, but she would not live in
our house a day and deceit e us; Captuin j
Fitzgerald wus her husband. He wus above
her in birth ; ami now that she wus obliged
to earn her breud.tluy thought it wiser for it ,
time that she should take her innidcn cunie
again, especially as tho captain's London
friends believed her tu be dead,
"Hut 1 am not dead,' she suid, trying to
smile, nnd then ending by bursting into
tears. ' I'm Ida wife; and soinu day, when
I am richer, we slut1! live together uguili,
und how it would be brought to seo her, if

we would allow it sometimes, uud gave u
rclerences if we wanled to ascertuin the
truth of her story, which we're never done,
or wished to do," added Luciuda, warmly,
"Tho next the captain tailed, my sisdr told
hi til thai thu is at awvirs flow ma tins stood,
nnd thu captain behaved most beautiful,
air!" Miss I.tifitnii almost wept. "And
he he took my sister's had. for he's no more
pride than if he was nothing and his first
cousin nn honorable, nnd his mint married
to ft peer ot tho realm and said ho should
always look upon us both n sisters, and
that ho recommended hisi dear Amelia to
our sacred cure. Till then lie hml our
doubts, as to keeping the young per-mi, lor
charily is one tiling, and respectability's nn
other; but the moment the captain spoke so
honorably, wo lelt what our duty was, nnd
we've kept to it. Mis wile might owe tin a

1 was at n little Christum cvetiinre rnrlv
n few nights later, at the house of one of my
oldest friends, nnd in the hired musician of
! the evening, I recognized my fellow-lodger.
In her Cinderella black dress, and with her
I pale, worn-looking face, the brave little wo-
man seemed fairer to mo than uny of the
flushed, wreathed and w hitc-muslined ati-
gels of the party, ller iliiiqte had the
same character as her phiviui'. Bcautv of
feature she hail not; hut there was a look of
quiet strength about thu ch ar cut lips, an
expression of power in the deep set iron-
gray eyes, which riveted one stratijjely and
instantly to hertnee. And her hair in itself
i was a bcitiitv! Such a mass ol naturally
waved gold brown hair as it, was, draw n
with careless grace from t.er brjp.d forehead,
and twisted in a rich coil nrniiiid the lilt!,:
clusniral !;: ad. There wore, many lowly
Parisian wreaths, no doubt, and it great
deal of lovely Patisian hair worn bv twenty
or thirty voting ladies in tnv friend's draw-
ing room, but nouoofthi female co'jl'umt
there seemed to ine nt all to compare with
poor Amelias simple liands ol waving gold.
Did her husband think so too? 1 wonder.
For. reader, her husband was there ,
dancing to his wile's music; mid looking as
unconcerned a tine gentleman ns vou ever
saw in jour life. I was standiii'.' i 'o.-c be
side tlio piano when Captain Fitzgerald's
nit ute was announced, and for an ki.-L;ini I

of the house, an. I careleaslv lin iit limed lue
captain's name. Who was (apt. Fitzgerald,
and had thev known liuu huigf I did not
remember seeing him ut any of their parties
before.
'Weii in a certain way, we have known
him a long time," blie uiiswered. "He was
in the same regiment, you know, as my
brother Frederick, and that brought him a
good ilea! about our house when wc were

I left London lale on the afternoon of the
uexl day, ami s 1 was getting into my cab
lit -Miss 1'iiiliips'e door, had :t kind little
farewell nod from Amelia. Her usual pale
face was lit up, and llulied with smiies; a

the captain's profile long whiskers, eye
glass, and all -was dimly discernible be

happy by condesi eliding to cat his tuikcy
