In consideration "Hold out hold out" tinid Inltfo, witli.'i shnke of his hnnd in the nlr, "I see wh.'it you're driving nt I didn't tnko it In at first that your nmatetir was to appear aa the diva herself, no well ns to bo her mill ititute. It's a ainart notion, but I ex pect it'll do lietter to talk about than to try. Hlie'il slip tip somehow. She niiiiit carry it out for a day or two, but when you como to two or three months, that's another storvl It wonld take a bettor actress than I'vo over come across to" "She won't have to act at all," Joce- lyn interposed. "The public of course will have uiailo up Its miml biiforeliuin) that she is the real original diva, ami the more unsophisticated she appears the tnoro convinced and cliarmod they'll be. They'll take her innocence to be the diva's consummate hypocrisy, man alive! and any nufumiliarity she may show on the stage to be the perfection of acting. But, for that matter, when once they've heard her sing they wouldn t exchange her for all the divas in Christendom!" "If she cnn sing yest" said the im presario rather skeptically. "Did you ever happen to hear of m gentleman by the name of Doriuiur?" inquired Jocelyn, putting down his wristbands and folding his handsome hands on the edge of the table. "Old Dorimar? Rather I Best man in the profession. Dead now, poor old boy! Ah, if he'd only kept his voice" "Dorimar was the instructor I men tioned just now. He went up one day to hear her try her voice, and the coime qucuce was he stayed three years to lis ten to it He told me a month before he died that she was tho finest soprano, with the grandest method, he'd ever known." "The devil he did! Doriuiur was at fool, that's a fact." "I found her out before he did. If it hadn't been for me where would you lie now, friend Moses?" "That's all right; but I've got to faear her first." "That's why 1 told you to make your arrangements to be out of tuwu to-night. We'll take the noon train up there. I've telegraphed 'em to expect me. We'll settle with her to-night, and lie back in town to-morrow morning. Now, as to terms. You'll have to pay her what you'd promised the Kllva." "Oh, 1 wilL will I? I'll see about that!" returned the impresario with .shrewd grimace. "No need of me believing he's the real diva as well as tiro audi ence!" "In that cose we won't take the noon train," said Jocelyn firmly. "Soy, my boy, what's your game?" in apiired the other after a pause, during which the men had looked inteatly at each other. "Do yon want me to - pay yon her salary, and you hand bcr over whatever doesn't stick to your fingers to tlmt it? He! he! be!" "You're a coarse minded idiot," said Jocelyn brusquely. "You attend to your basin eas and lot me manage mine. I know what I want and how to get it If she's not all I say she is, of course the bargain's off altogether. If she is, you'll have to pay for her that's all. And if you don't like those terms you can get out of your scrape yourself if you cant" "You ought to be a rich man, my boy. one of these fine days," remarked the im presario meditutively. "Well, it she comes up to your report I'll agree. But 'X she doesnt" - "If she doesn't TU stand the railway fare there and back!" said Jocelyn, and with that they laughed and rose from the table. Aa they were passing out of the room a tall young man, with a thick brown beard and severe bine eyes, met them in the doorway. He had a roll of paper in his hand. "You're the man I'm looking for." ae aid to Inigo. "Halloo, Beilingham!" said Jooeiym. "How comes on the Tempi of too MusesT "All right," replied the gentleman so addressed, rather curtly, as his manner was. Ha looked at Inigo and added, "There's a point about the construction of the stage entrance 1 must consult you on." "I'm In a devil of a hurry," objected the impresario reluctantly. "I want only ten minutes," Beiling ham said. "Yon architects are worse than oh, by the way, I can't decide about it till to-morrow anyhow,! exclaimed the other, as Beilingham began to unroll his paper. H glaooed at J ooelyn and went on, "Corns to the offlco to-morrow after noon and we'll ts it" "The workmen will have to wait.' said Beilingham. "Everybody has to do tlint," returned the impresario senteutiously, and with a nod ho ami Jocelyn went out CHAPTER II. HOW LOVF.LY AND I'NFOKTC NAT WIS WAS. I "Mturtc l n mrrai Ihlim, my child," he teoulil often my to her. What is more worthy the contempla tion of a humane mind than the specta cle of a pretty young woman? It is the least selfish of all pleasures. By learn ing we seek to elevate ourselves above our fellows; by philosophy, to console ourselves for the past and to fortify our' selves for the future; by religion (as it is commonly practiced), to make ourselves rospectablo in this world and comfort able in the world to come. But he who stands rapt in the fascination of a girl's beauty enjoys the possession by another of what he can never have himself, ad raits his inferiority and generously ex nits in the existence of goodness for its own sake. The solo drawback is the risk he runs of fulling ia love that in, of wishing to restrict to himself a blessing designed to rejoice mankind at largo. It might seem a pity that such a girl as Beatrix lutuilolph should be so silo a tea as net to huve it in her power to confer upou every one the unselfish gratification whereof we speak. But to be rare and diflicultof access are among the conditions of mertal loveliness. In nootherway, perhiir, could the heavenly aroma bo preserved: und were we t be come callous to beauty, as wedo to pain. life would have nothing left to promise us. On the other hand, dullness is negative, delight positive, and a single day of glorious sunshine compensates for a Whole blank week or lifeless land scape and leaden sky. But Beatrix, though delightful to look upon, was not beauty in the abstract: she was first of all a distinct and con crete human person. It is fitting, there fore, to consider not so much the loss the world isustained by her seclusion, as its effect upon herself. Certainly she was not of a temperament naturally inclined to solitude. She was quick to feel motions of all kinds, and apt and simple in the expression of them. Her propor tions, both or the soul and the body. were symmetrical and active: as she moved easily and sweetly, so was she sweetly and easily moved. Her life, in spite of its circumscribed conditions. showed an instinctive love of largeness and variety, and herein she was helped by a generous and lively Imagina tion. She could not read a story or watch the sun rise without engender ing in her mind a thousand fresh ideas of the possibilities of existence. And her body was in such fine harmony with her spirit thut you could see a stirring thought turn to roses in her cheeks, or conjure diamonds to her lovely eyes. When she came forth in the morning from ber maiden chamber, having put on, let us say, a fresh, white gown. Just crisp enough to whisper as she stepped. and a pink or a blue ribbon (as fancy might dictate) at her throat and on her hair, and her figure elastic and alert with the wholesome vigor of nineteen years, and a mouth that laughed fragrance and music, and large brown yes, which besides being as beautiful possible in themsolves were rendered yet more so by being a few shades dark er than her rippled hair and 1 and hands that were white wonders of Warm flexibility and tapering softnt when this exquisite young American girl, in short type of the most charm' tng and most intelligent womanhood in tha world cam dawning like Aurora out of the room in which an bad been dreaming visions only leas lovely than herself, It did seem aa if th Golden Ag wer now about to begin, and as if noth tng fals or impure were henceforward possible. 8h explained, without otter ing a word, why the grass in spring is so deliciously green, tot sky of so tender - a blue, why birds sing . and water is transparsn why violets have perfume, and tho sun wnrmtli. She was the spoken secret of the universe the interpretation of its fuirestelements. By what tiiishnp, then, Was such a creature confined (its she was) to a few square miles of village land In the center of the stnte of New York? Was such n pearl created only to be oast before cattle, ami the villnje grocer's Son, and the hollow chested young Unitarian minister, nnd the innkeeiicrs daughters? The world could not nITord it, and yet there she was, nnd just at the time this story begins there seemed to be ratbor less probability thnn usual of her ever getting anywhere else. She lived with her father in a roomy brond beamed, brown old honse, en vironed by elm trees taller, but less an tique, than itself. It was nn American Eighteenth century house. Home hero of the Revolution had passed a night in it. It stood on the side of a low, gradual hill, and was four miles away from the nearest railway station. Altogether the region was sufficiently remote, though New York city was hardly more than three hours distant by rail. The mail arrived twice a day, and Mr. Alexander Randolph, the owner of the honse and estate, received yesterday's World every forenoon, nnd rend it dnrmg the hour preceding dinner, which always took place nt 2 o'clock. It was an eminently conservative household; at all events its master was a conservative and a democrat, as his fathers had been before him These forefathers were of Virginia ,i descent, and two generations ago had owned large plantations in the south. But the yonng Randolph of thnt epoch had fallen in love with a northern lady and ended by marrying her and settling down on this estate, which was his bride's dowry. He was onginnlly quite wealthy, but lost money by speculations during the war. With intent to compel a better fortune he soon nfter run for an office, but was defeated, as a foregone conclu sion, by a crushing majority. To crown all he lost his wife, to whom he was de votedly attached. She died of typhoid fever in 1868. He was left with two children, n boy of 10 and a girl of 6. Mr. Randolph, though of a haughty and headstrong character, was not whnt is called thorough. He was tall and of slender build, with high shoulders, a gray mustache and imperial, and thick, wavy hair, growing rather long. His eyebrows were bushy nnd overhanging and gave to his eyes a fiercer expression than might otherwise have belonged to them; he had a habit of twisting them between his thumb and finger whon in thought, which looked ominous to stran- gers, but really amounted to nothing His fingers were very long, and so were bis arguments and discussions; almost the only short thing about him, in fact, being his temper. His general aspect was that of a retired southern brigadier whose slaves hud boon unrighteously made contraband. His expression was, ordinarily, profoundly serious, and he smiled rarely; bnt it was not difHcnlt to make hint break into a shrill, giggling laugh, which absurdly marred the severe contour of his visage and betrayed the underlyiag weakness. He was fond of phrases, and bad a fjtncy for calling himself "the most in dulgent of fathers," but whenever his children transgressed the moral law of their father's good humor or indolence and this wua not seldom the case with Ed. who was as restless 4iad independent as a liuwk he fell upon them with sweeping broadsides of rebuke, culmina ting, if they answered him back, in vio lent assertions of tlieir total depravity. d was sent to school, tut the study of books "had no part ia his scheme of exist enoe. In the boy s seventeenth year Hamilton Jocelyn, a friend of the fam ily, being on a visit of a few days to the Randolphs, was tickled by Ed's bearing and the story of bU exploits, and offered to take him back withliim to New York city tot a month or so, to give him in struction in the laws and amenities of polite society. He went off accordingly, and the month had prolonged itself to six before he came back. His father thought that he had been improved by his sojourn there. He had brought back with him. oartaialy a great deal of entertaining talk, and gave Beatrix endless accounts, of the .great city, its streets, its houses, its bosses, its theatres: above all, of it operas and its concerts. Both she and Ed had always been passionately devot ed to inusic. They had understood it. by the Jight of nature, as it were, from a very early age, and had constantly practiced ever since. Ed's voice was not of much use, but be was an admirable performer on th violin. Beatrix, ou the other hand, was above all things a singer, and her voice developed into a soprano ef remarkable range aiid power. Her stndiee were not confined to church musio. tihe knew by heart all the great operas and oratorios, and in pursuance of the marked dramatic ability which she possessed she bad, with Ed's assist ance, acted out scenes from many of the former (so Car as two performers might) on the stage of tha back drawing room. On day Hamilton Jocelyn, who had heard all the famous singers of the world in his time, attended ope of these privet entertainments. Contrary to expecta tion he turned out to be the most eulo gistic auditor that Beatrix bed ever had. and he wound np his praises by declar ing that ah must be provided with a master to bring her voice oat The most indulgent of fathers was gratified by this tribute of admiration from such a source to his favorite child, and a week or so afterward the master was sent for. This was aa elderly Englishman of resjiectable antecedents, who, twenty years before, had tiegnn his musical career with what wns considered the finest tenor voice of the age, and whose knowledge of the principles of music wns as profound as his proficiency wns remarkable. Hut before he had lieen n year on the operatic stago tho theatre in which ho was singing caught fire, nnd he wns burned about the throat in such a wny ns forever to destroy the voice which would hnve made him rich nnd famous enough to satisfy ambition itself. Professor Dorimnr, ns ho nfterwnrd came to lie called, had some small private tneatis which rendered him in a humble way independent, nnd with a philo sophical serenity which rarely char acterizes the musical temperament he settled quietly down to lie a writer on tho art nnd science of whoso highest triumphs ho could never more hope to partake. For the last eight years ho hail lived in New York, but ho was known to very few. lie sat with his piano and his manuscripts, and his visions of divine harmonics, in a retired littlo room a few blocks west of Wash ington square, nnd seldom went forth save to listen for half an hour to one or other of the very few singers who in his judgment were great enough to sing. He never was known to have tin dertnkon tho personal instrnrtion of pupils, though he might undoubtedly have derived a large incoms from so ioing. But ho wns of opinion that the fight to use the voice in musio is given to but two im three in nn age, and the chance that the training of one so gifted should fall to him was too remote to be considered. To the inyrind chances of failure he preferred his comparative pov erty nnd his peace of mind. Whnt arguments Jocelyn employed to woo him from his reserve cannot be known. But Mr. Rnndolph received a note from the professor, mentioning tho dny nnd hour of his arrival, nnd request ing Mr. Randolph to meet him nnd drive him up from the rnilwny stntlon nlone. This was done, and on tho way the pro fessor stipnlated that he should be enabled to hear Miss Randolph's voice before she wns aware of his presence. "There is a train back to the city this eveuing, sir," he remnrkod, "and, if I should conclude to take it, it would be well to have snared the young lady the annoyance of nn interview." The mat ter was readily managed. Beatrix sang with the unembarrassed freedom of sunoosed solitude, and the Profes sor listened. When the young lndy t bad finished her selection, whatever it wns. she rose from the pin-en and passed out through the open window of i the room to the veranda. Here sho was 1 surprised by the appearunce of a meager and pallid personage, or gentlemanly i bearing and aspect, with a broad scar on the right side of his face and throat, 1 and many thonghtful lines and wrinkles i on his brow and nround his eyes, who , advanced toward her with a bow and took her hand. As she looked at him she fancied there were tears in his eyes. "Miss Randolph," he said, in a low and very pleasant voice, "I am to have the honor of being your instructor; my i name is Dorimar." He said no more at that time, bnt raised her soft fingers to i his lips, and with another bow dis- appeared. He did not take the ovening train bock to the city, but on the contrary took up his abode in the Randolphs' house, and being, in addition to his musical attainments, man of cultivation, and of a singular naive charm of character, he was nearly as much of an acquisition to Mr. Ran dolph as to his daughter, and they nil became very good friends. As to his teaching, it was a matter between his pupil and himself, and was not often re ferred to ool. side. It seemed to afford him especial nleasure to think that Bea trix was singing for music s sake, and without any purpose of publishing or profiting by ber acquirements. "Musio is a sacred thing, my child," he would often say to her, "and like all sacred things it is shamefully and almost uni versally desecrated. It is not a mere question of voice and ear, but of purity and loftiness of soul. Great music never was greatly sung by a charlatan, or libertine, or a fortune hunter. I, for my part, thank Cod that you are what you are, and that you will never be obliged to weigh your musio against gold. The world may listen to you if it can, but yon shall be spared the insult of recei v ing for it what it dares to call recom Beatrice acquiesced in all this wisdom, bus somewhere in ber secret soul she mar have ch' fished the germ of on am' bitiira to meet great multitudes of her fellow creatures, to test herself upon them, perhaps to delight and inspire them, if there were power in her so to do. Three years passed, and then Ed went to Europe. There was soma pre text about his attending lectures at a university of mining engineering in Saxony, but it was a tolerably trans- Cent pretext That he should come k at the end of two or three years somewhat toned down was th best Mr. Randolph hoped. As to the question of funds, after a good deal of meditation Mr. Randolph came to th following rather eccentric determination: Id was to be allowed to draw on the paternal resources for whatever sums of , money .. he - from, time to ' time might require. '"You may draw little or yon may draw much, my son," the old gentleman said, "and, be it much or little, all your drafts will be duly honored. I shall not restrict yon nor advise you, but 1 shall depend upon your own sense of honor and decency, as a Randolph and a gentleman, not to abase my confidence in you," This speech seemed to the ntterer of it very noblo nnd impressive, and nlso veiy sagacious and worldly wise. For if to put n yonng fellow npon his honor will Dot make hi'ii reasonably virtuous rl economical what will? Ed certainly showed himself pleased with the nr raugemcut, if not so much impressed by the plirnses in which it was announced to bim. He was nn enterprising nul sblo yonth.'nnd probnbly expected to make a fortune of his own rather than pend his father's. The next thing that occurred in thi eventful yenr wns an offer of miirriagn, emanating from no less distinguished a personage thnn Hamilton Jocelyn him self. Beatrix thought it wns exceed ingly funny he should do such a thing, and not altogether comfortable; but as it was instinctive with her to consider othnr people's feelings almost ns much ns her own, nnd sometimes more, sho . suppressed her emotions nnd expressed her acknowledgments, adding that she had no idea of marrying anybody. When Jocelyn fonnd that her resolve wns not to be shaken he very gracefully said tlint to have known and loved her fcras a privilege anil a revelation for Which he should never cense to lie Indebted to her. He said that ho had perhaps presnined too much in hoping that she conld ever care for a grizzled old fellow like him self, but that his sentiments would never chnng", and thnt if, at nny future time, circumstances shonld lend her to reconsider her present views, sho would find him eager and grateful to throw himself nt her feet. He concluded by requesting thnt she wonld forbear to mention the episode to nny one. even to her father, lest the latter shonld be grieved to discover that she conld not bring herself to consent to nn ullinnce with his oldest friend. Beatrix replied that she hnd no wish to ppealc of whnt had occurred, and thnt she hoped they both would forget it as soon ns possible; Hereupon jocelyn took ins leave, anu went back to New York, probably re gretting the issue of tho adventure al most ns mnch as he professed to do, al though perhnps for reasons other than those he thought it expedient to allege. The third event was the death of poor Professor Dorimnr, which occurred sud denly and filled Beatrix with grief, not withstanding that it appeared in one sense the most nntnral thing that conld have happened to the good nnd mag nanimous old mnn. Ho hnd had a habit, of looking upward ns ho talked, nnd Beatrix had thought that lie seemed mnch of the time communing with a better world, and perhnps derived from some angelic source his grand ideas about musio and its mission to mankind. It was the first death the girl had ever wit nessed, nnd it invested the three years of the association together of the pnpil and her master with a sort of retrospec tive sanctity. They had been altogether the happiest years of Beatrix s life. The professor had taught her something clue besides how to sing. Less by words thnn by some tacit, sympathetic inflnence he had led her to perceive and meditnte npon the nobler and loftier aspects and capacities of human nature. As to his share in her vocal culture and her own proficiency he never had made any defi nite pronouncement; but on the morning before his death ho requested her to sing for him the air from Handel's . oratorio of "The Messiah" "I know that my Redeemer liveth." When she had finished he said: "My child, yon have enabled me to thank God thnt my voice was destroyed, and that my lift has been for so many years a lonely dis appointment. I have had trinmphs and blessings that most men do not even U..I.AlA,liiM A mlirhttf o.irofAl allow nun .o i , j. n J is in yonr hand," he went on, turning' his grave and gentle eyes npon her. "I have helped to show you how to wield ' it Power is very sweet, bnt it needa,--almost an angel not to use it harmfully. I don't know what life may bo before you, my dear; bnt whatever it may be I trust that when you come to the end of it you will find as little cause to regret having met me as I have much cause to rejoice that I have known you." Beatrix hardly knew how to understand this at the time, but afterward the words fre quently revisited her memory, and may have had some influence over her at crit ical moments of her career.
