rassiouato, uud ii-reo iu her pas
lious us an angry child, but super
ficial and changeable, she was already
regretting that the hnd not romuiued
lit .Mary Hamilton's, in order that she
might liuvo leuriii'd something more of
this man who was and yet was nut her
Curios the mm being in tho world
tvhu had ever inn lo u lasting irupros
Biou on her shallow nature.
' And yet, why should I weep';" she
ext-luiiuod presently. "If ho is Car
los, ho euros no more for me. Ik
will not acknowledge me; and if be is
not Carlo.-, why, then he is dead long
years ago, and I wept for him then:
snd 1 weep for him alway.s when 1 re
rui'mhor. Hut of what avail? Itonlt
tpoiis my eyes an I gives mo a rod
face. I will wait! 1 will wait ami Bee'
If it is Carlos Wei1, perhaps
rati compel him to remember!''
Oiiro lluyo answered nothing: but
bo listened and thought, and every
ivnid sank into her memory.
The carriage rolled on rapidly, and
Miss (iuyo's thought-, ps she reviewed
Iho events of t!u past few weeks,
moved even more quickly, while the
tears and murmurs of Mrs. iitluihult
presently subsided entirely.
Tho ucijuaintuiicc of Olive with the
beautiful Lady of I'm 1'au, us she had
railed her in lice thoughts, was one
of those incident:! which .seemed to
justify the girl's reliance on fate. Sho
had desired intimoiy to leurn some
thing of the straiigei and, if possible,
In know her personally: and for sev
eral days after tile night ut tho opera
i-ho ha 1 made in puries in every di
rection, but had f illed to trace the ob
ject of her thoughts, till, cue evening,
her uncle, iu whoso family she lived,
baitl :
"An amusing thing happenod to me
lo-day. A gentleman camo into tho
i'f:ice to te-k me if I could tell him
where he could get n fan mended. It
was a beautiful ml'iiir of lace and
inother-of peurl, mi ! 1 was amused by
his anxiety about it. His excuse for
r. uiiiug to me w,i ; thai lie 'was a
stranger iu Now York, and, as I am
his li.itiker, he riiui to uie for advice.
I gave it; but my advice was that bo
should buy a new fan and throw tho
old one away. That, he said, wns
w hat be had w ished to do; but mad
Mue. liis wife, would have no new fun;
nothing but the broken cue, mended,
woul 1 nervo. And when I subsenuent
ly niw t!iu lady, I didn't wonder that
a man might be w illing to do silly
things to please her. I uevcr taw such
s beauty:"
'Oh, uiude," eu'l limed Olive, ''I
think 1 know about that fan; and the
lady is a beauty, as you say. Tell me
nil you know about them. I will c.vll
on tho huly, if you know her addles-:,
nud have her fan mended. There will
bo a poetic litness about, it, for lb r
Ihu Saxton and myself are responsible
for the breaking the fan." And Miss
li.iye gave her uncle a brief but high
ly colored description of the incident
ut the opera.
"Well, yes, Olive, T suppose you
may call on Mr., llelmholtz You
llelmholtz, the mime i pally is, but it
makes it harder to say; and ho has a
baronet's coriiet or crow n, or what
ever it is called, engraved on bis
raid. As a rule, I don't like that
kind of foreigner; but the man has
lirst-rate letters, and I think he's a
goad fellow, except a little) ciuy
about hi.s wife and very jealous, .1
think you may call, however."
"Thanks, uncle; I shall," said
Olive. And before tho next tiny slie
ba 1 made the acquaintance of Mrs.
He'.mhi'lt, aud by tho end of the
week they were intimate friends.
I.iko most of Olive (iuye'o friendships
tho intimacy was all on one side; she
listened while the other talked. It
did not take this shrewd young wom
an very long to fill the spaces in the
conversation of Mis. Hehnholt.; but
hoa;d;ed uo direct ipiestiou. In tho
first place, it was always possible that
direct oiiestnuis might not lie as
ewerod; and. besides, her passion for '
ilrauiatie eiVcct pi aiui'ted her to "set
the stage" in such a way that the ac
tors could not help taking up the cues
and making the piopcr effect. Her
success in tho scene just enacted nt
tho hoiiso of Mary Hamilton do
lighted her.
"Ho is a cool hau l," she thought,
''tho Honorable Clarence. If I bad
not felt the si-nek go through him
when he tii.-t miw ('destine, his ef
frontery would have impofod on me.
What is the my tory between them?
Hut I need not u-k. Celestine is
w ild to tell me all abo it it and 1 need
only wait till we me alone in her
room Ah, I. "ii '.. e are ut tb.o house.

CHAPTER XVr.

Hehnholt. amply justified
Mrs
Olive (layo's anticipations, ami by a
judicious iiuostion occasionally and
patient listening, she soon knew the
mind of this .superficial but fascinating
youug womnu.
"It is seven years since I first met
Curios Mendou," she said, "and I
loved him from the hour I beheld biiu, J
us I shad love tie! memory ol mm lo
the last moment if inj life. He loved
Honr.1 B-.s-Jr-.'- SnxO
me, too: T snail always believe that iu
spito of everything though he de
ceived mo about our marriage, but I
believe ho was deceived about that,
too I have good reason for thinking
that (.'alios thought the man who mar
ried us w as really a pi ie.-t ; and if he
had lived be would huvo m.i.lo me his
wife truly mid lawfully, of course, I
had no ,0110 to light for mo, like you
happy American girls with fathers
uud brothers, no on
but a half-crazy
adopted brother, who was not unv r
lation to me at nil. Hut he was good,
Henri was and no sister ever hud a
truer brother: he believed in Curios,
too, and just worshiped him. I doo't
know what has become of poor Henri
Yun Tas-ei; bul if he is still alive, he
would light for my rights against
Curios or any mau. Hut f;ir!i.s ist

Stanley is so like him that he has
made inn lose my wits almost; and
oven il he were still alive, it would be
no use now, for I am married to the
Huron Von lli'lii, holt. -and In; is so
jealous. If Carlos has come to life
iigiiin he would kill us both. Toil ino,
cheric: i you think i: pos. ible tin.i
iu all the Woild two people should be
so much alike as my Carlo! und tiii;;
Honorable Clareii.vV"
"It is certainly singular and un
usual," foiid Oliie, iu a liieiitutive
manner; "bul, as Mi s Hamilton said,
there have been such c.i-es.' If v.uir
Carlos is b a I, an 1 y

"Oh, Dion! Yes-,

creature, and iu a moment shown
weeping (i untidily i.ud wiiugitig hoi
hands.
Olive waited for this paroxysm lo
wear itself out, and then said calmly:
"Canyon tellm" Imw it happened';"
"it wis a quarrel over curds!"
sobbed Mrs. llelmholi.. "In that
part of the world it is tno-dlv quarrels
over caul i. It was in v mining tow n
in California. Ilei.ii u i Tie-.- I my
brother, I uhv.ivse.iUed him: 1 should
have told you that I was poor waif,

rreneli-Ciiiiudiun family, who were

California ai loss the continent, more
than twenty veais a ;.i--well, lleiiii,
Carlos ali i myself had just reached
this liiining-low n, where we were go
ing to give o if show. It consisted of
of sleiglit-of-iiiiiid tricks, singing and
dancing. 1 did the singing and danc
ing, of course: and as I was beautiful

was only seventeen v.o always hoi

I'he eiilei tuiiiineiit was cubed 'Pro-t'e-sor
Villi Tassel's Wonlels of
Magic; but I w as the real magic, and
it was to sec ino dance that people
came. Hut Henri supposed tiny
Clime to see his oiuleis of mesmer
ism and thought reading aud all such
nonsense, because ho wus quite craiy
on that subject and believed cvuy
word of it hiiu-elf. After 1 left him".
1 guess ho found out his mistake. It
was ut one of oiu' shows that Curios
lir.-t saw me, nud then he came every
night. lie was only a cow-boy, but
his father had belonged to the leal
Spanish aristocracy ; his name was
?deiidoa, mid there is a wonderful
trcuuro belonging to the Mondoa
family bidden somewhere in Cali
fornia. Thai was what attracted
Carlos to our show. He had hoard
of the mesmerism and clairvoyance
and all that stuff, and he thought if
there was any truth iu it he might
lind out son n ihing through mc; but
he soon saw thai I wus a fraud in that
way, though he declared 1 was a per
fect witch to him and had the magic
of beauty, which was the only magic
any man ever wanted in a woman.
"Ah, moil 1'ieu! How ho made
love tii me, and how I loved him! We
had been married nearly a year, when
we reached the miuiiig-tow it on the
night 1 am gohifi to tell you of; the

I was waiting for him iu angi r, ton,

Carlos to do me justice or cNo

"Are they so?" asked Ci It -tine,
with the wondering siinpliei y of ,t

the whole lay tory."
Olive regarded her for a moment
. with il positive feeling of envy; her in
genuousness was so perfect and ap
parently genuine.
"You ought to have remained oil
