The dinner came to an east, the ladi
withdrew, and the gentlemen presently
followed them to the drawing room
People were already arriving for the
reception, and the room trua getting
crowded. A number of immaculate
young gentlemen, in tight fitting even
ing dress,, were reaching over their shirt
collars to got a glimpse of the notorious
Maranu, There was an nnintermittent
buzz o? talk that made it difficult to
bear anything that was said. The la
dies were numerous and brilliantly
dressed, but many of them looked a
little uneasy, aa if they suspected they
were assisting at a somewhat hazardous
enterprise. The prima donna wore on
her breast a locket set with diamonds
that had belonged to her mother.
"Say, Witman," said one of the
young gentlemen above mentioned to
another, "did yon notice the locket?"
"Haven't been able to get up to her
yet, confound itl Does she speitk En
glish'" "Pretty well, I believe; I spoke
French with her. Full of the devil!"
'What about the locket'"
"Given to her by the czar of Russia,
before ho cnnie into the business."
"By Jove! Say, does a fullow.huve to
be iiiti'oilui -.1, nr can yon go right up
I and talk to her'"
, "Oh. sail in! Slip won't mind. These

"To the culture, the vivueity. And the

Russian guest unites the truining, tlie
knowledge, and the solidity of tbe post.
Rooted in the soil of tli best traditions
of her predecessors, tbe flower of her
genius blossoms in the new sunshine of
today. The grandeur aud digtiity of
her method are vivified aud sweetened
by rare personal charms of manner, aud
by that seeming artlessuess of execu
tion which is tho finest triumph 4nrt.
Her nppeariuice among us is another
proof, not only of the reputation which
wepf the western world have attained
of being tli.- fiimi fribituiil in matters
of musical last and judgment, but of
the great fact that real genius is always

its resources whii'.i alum-can make thp

"that the ordinary repertoire of operas

WARNED OF DANGER.
Apparition That Nkvp.I a Woman From
llrlni Itlttrn hy a ohra.
Tho folic ,, ing remarkable occurrence,
nn nbfolntc fact, wac related ly n 1. '"y
visiting friends in Hartford as it ei
told her by her cousin in Merrat, north
western India. It tonk place in tint
honse of Hip sister of the niinat. r. Of
its absolute accuracy there can be no
question. TIip two sisters in Ini.ia iv.'o
r-onttceted with families of repute ami
with officers in the British iivmy in In
dia. Wo give the story as the lady I'cre
related it. Hie is 11 devout liieiii'i- r of
the Kpisenpal clintch and is iiii-.!,.alun
of misrepresenting in the sl't'litc.-.t V '1"
ticnlar. Her consin, in whose house ti e recur
rence took place, was send il at 11 lifltti-d
table cti'::,V'd in r;uliiij, when, think
ing it about time to retire, nnd happen
ing to lift her ryes from tile liccil-;, f!hi
wiim nstonii hi d to see seated ill 11 chair
before her, mid between bri-'elt und the
door to the bathroom, 11 man, a utrang'T
to her, who calmly regarded her. it was
too great u snrpriso fur her to speak and
demand who was thns intrniiing unliid
den npon her privacy nnd what was
wanted. Shn remained for 11 mo! :' in .11
silent nstoiiishnient.
Then it gradually dawned npon hpr
that tho fignre was probably not that of
a pprson of real flesh and blood, bn a
visitor from tho unseen world of life.
Sho rem inhered having once, us a child,
seen a similar fignre, nnder circum
stances which seemed to proelndn the
idea that if was any person still 111 the
body, ami in later years, in revolving
those circumstances, sho had rcr.K-nibrr-cd
how the apparition hud nf ti r a little
wbilo faded away into invisibility.
Concluding that this new visitor nlo
wns not n person of flesh and blood, she
sut silently gazing at tho silent object,
whilo thi' intruder, whoever or what
ever he w:.s, sat nlso in silence, s'eadily
regarding hrr. Just how loi'g thin stale
of things lusted tho lady did not accu
rately htiow, but if, was probably not
very long, when tho mysterious stranger
began to vanish intoa tluniu rami thin
ner personal presence, until in n mo
ment or two ho had vanished qui to
away.
It was tho lady's hour for her evening
bath, but i-'ho thought she wonld fast h t
out In r two pet dogs from tin irci iifiiio
ment in aunt her room. They camp bark
ing furiously ni'd miming directly tiv -ward
the bntl r : i. There, through the
open door, the lady was horrified to see
on the floor a inonstrons cobra the
snake whose bite is certain and speedy
death. Springing forward to save, her
dogs, sho quickly shut the door, but not
so iiistantaiiK.nsly as to prevent her
seeing the reptile turning and escaping
down through a hole in tho floor where
the drain pipes of bathtub and wash
bowl went a hole which had Iipi-ii euro
lessly left larger than was necessary.
If she hnd gone directly to the bath
room, as she would have done but for
th" intervention nf her mysterious visi
tant, her life wonld undoubtedly hnvc
hocu sacrificed in the net. Iluitiord.
