comi'Ietely mastered the art of trave-1-ng,
that I felt highly elated at laving
it the very outset an opportunity af
ioidcd me of giving positive-evidence
A my artistic achievements. . "
I had chosen the route of the Jloal
Cenis, and .ct cub from i Oeneva in
he morning by the railroad, which,
a that lime took us to the ft ot of the

err3" we were toia.r.rat aiuing me

void I make the road impalpable for

a good one, but I am very sura I

CIJAFER IIL
I suppeso I do not differ from most
of my readers in one respect; "I feel
often at first sight attracted toward
certain people atd repelled by ethers,
and this fiist imx'ression, in my cae
at all events, has rarely proved a
wrorg one. The thfee ladies just
mentioned interested lr.o tho moment I
aw them, cne of them especially. She
was an amiable old ljrly, ever whose,
f ne features the winter of life seemed
to have breathed but lightly; for. her
face appeared still fresh,, and had cvi
dently retained its former extiaordi
cary beauty. Snow-white curls en
circled 'it, .enhancing the expression cl
intense U:;dhearlcdncs, which soejr.cd
stamped upon it in ineffaceablojines.
-The fcccond lady v.-as a beaulifnl
young g:il cf seventeen or eighteen
years of age, whose dender figure and
regular features, of a transparent coo
rlexlon, were of the most perfect oid3r.
There Vvas -surely no blemish - in her
beauty, to which the elasticity and
rapidity cf her motions and a rcmaika
Llo vivacity of the eyes and gestures
imparted an additional charm. Tho
sight of this young "girl would have
called forth the odmiiation of any
man, and most certainly did not miss
its .effect upon me, who tad always
been a devoted admirer of bcaiily and
the fair sex ! ,
Tho third, ono likewise was well
worth a closer examination. She might
havo been a year or two older than
her youthful companion ; her exterior
however bore a striking lontrast to
that of the younger girl. She was
petite." but of an cxccr-tiunally well-
proportioned figure. All her features
were regular nud beautiful ; large
black eyes, whoso dark lustre indi
cated a mind of great depth, gave her
face that expression of silent suffer-
ng, pcouLar to all Southern types.
The only thing disi leasing in her was
a certain iroraovaliaty, a fixedness of
countenance and lack of expression.
which mado her resemble a stature.
By an adroit manoeuvre I- had ap
proached to within h few paces of
thejn and, while leaning against one of
the pillars on the platform, 1 succeeded
in overhearing a few broken sentences
of their conversation.
'".What harm is ther after all 7" said
the younger girl. "The next train
going to Italy leaves to-night, and we
shall no doubt get three places then.
MeanwmU wo can take a look at the
town and the surrounding country. I
like to -travel slowly; the impressions
yon receive are all the more lasting."
" to they arc. raula." replied the old
lady; " but this part of Savoy is so de
void of piet u resquen ess 1 1 am told.
that there u scarcely anything worth
seeing.'.
" Never mind !' said the young girl
with a charming shrug of her should
ers" wo can see strange fat es at least.
and - that " is always amusing."
"Wo shall l ave to submit at any
rato remarked the old lady. I
should have much, preferred to con
tinue our journey without delay, for if
wo havo to remain here to-night, we
cannot possibly srrive at Genoa until
very late to-morrow eve."

lady turning to the other young girl.

at tho shorter of the two girls, who
had answered to tho r.amo of Clclia,
and never shall I forget. tho-sight it
might have moved a stone.

same aftitiido as before, 'her head
turned tlightlj on ono side in the di
rection where I stocd. Her face wort
tho samo serious expression, which hsd
struck me at first not a muscle had

" What can tho thirty-first of March

lessly. " You seem to have a strange

aur.t was evidently on the point el
making some remark, when a sligM
noise near mo caused them to loot

such close "proximity , they walked ofi

up to them, politely bowing to the old
lady, I said! ,
" I beg pardon for thus intrnding
