Did the advice of the master act like trine on the flagging spirits of the singer? Did her own natural energy assert sway over timidity before the nnknown? Melita reappeared in the opera as a true, dramatic butterfly escaped from the cold and neutral chrysalis of the shy debutante. Vivacious, coquettish, and winning, by turns, she kept her gaze steadfast ly fixed on Dolores, until the girl’s face became detached from the rest of the theater, a magnetic point, and all else sank into a cloud of vague ob scurity The naivete of interest, the unfeigned admiration, blended with anxiety, to be read in this human mirror, the warm and thrilling sym pathy of bearing, furnished the re quisite chord of intelligence and sensi bility. The girl on the stage made the girl in the gallery laugh at pleasure; she could have as readily made her weep. The singer touched the fibre of emotion in a solitary spectator, in the inexperience of her talent, but with a new-born sense of power to sway and mould a larger public later. Kay, were mere noi moments wnen, uorne up by the strains of melody gathering in chorus and instruments about her on the stage, Melita sang for her art alone, seeing beyond the dilating eyes of Dolores that long vista of renown and triumph on the difficult path she had chosen? A fresh Bosina had ap peared. Possibly the most impassive specta tor of the entire audience was Jacob Dealtry. His coat was shabby and old-fashioned, and he shrank into the shadow of the year of the box as much as possible, although his de^.anor was more abstracted than diffident. His pale, gray eye dwelt with an ex pression of drv disapproval on his granddaughter and Lieut Curzon. Capt. Fillingham turned to him after a time. “The chorus is out of tune,” confi dentially. “Ah!” laconically. “I believe your name is Dealtry.” “Yes,” with uneasiness. “I have heard that name be fore somewhere,” continued the Ancient Mariner, taking a glass from his wife, wherewith to decide on the personal charms of the debutante, as a connoisseur of female beauty. “The name is not an uncommon one,” said Jacob Dealtry, with a cer tain stolidity of aspect, and yet a close observer might have detected that he was put on his guard by the casual re mark of his companion. “Dealtry is strangely familiar to my ear,” pursued the captain, in a rumin ating tone. “Eh!” with a slight cough. The grandparent of Dolores stiffened to an upright posture in his corner, his features twitched nervously, and he folded his arms, as if to control a sudden trembling of all his members. “Were you ever at Jamaica?” ques tioned CapL Fillingham, still striving to cc^lect his souvenirs. “I have traveled much,” was the evasive response, given after a pause. “Yes, she is very pretty,” the An cient Mariner decided, scanning the singer through the glass. “Bless me! how many heads she will turn in her day with those neat ankles!” “No doubt she would easily turn your head,” said Mrs. Fillingham, tartly, whose matronly ankles were of a serviceable solidity The captain chuckled silently, then claimed her attention for a new-comer on the other side of the house. He proffered the glass to Jacob Dealtry, in turn. “All painted actresses look alike,” said the old man, returning the glass with sullen indifference. When the third act was terminated | Melita was called before the curtain amid a shower of flowers and an ova | tion of applause. Huge bouquets were presented to her by gallant officers of the garrison, and one of unusual size and richness, supposed to have ema | nated from the grand ducal box. 1 “WI1L I DO?” Graceful in acknowledgment of these marks of approbation, she sang, with a sweetness, pathos and finish, for which she was destined to become famous, the “Last Bose o&Summer.” A I “I like thatl” exclaimed the Ancient Mariner, clapping his hands with en > thusiasm. i lie turned to his unsympathetic I companion. Jacob Deal try had disap peared. | “Most extraordinary!" mused Capt Fillingham. Capt Blake had taken a seat with Mra Griffith and Miss Symtha “The Diva of to-night aspires to : speedily becoming a Patti or a Neil son," he said, briskly. “She will never soar as a nightin gale,” replied Miss Symthe, languidly. “Her voice lacks timbre, and her head notes quite set one’s teeth on edge.” “If not a nightingale, then a lark,” suggested the gentleman with unim paired cheerfulness, and glancing about him. “She is awfully pretty, the little American. The Russian ofj fleer over yonder is quite wild about her. Ah! There is Lieut Curzon with the Fillimrhams and Miss Dealtry. Decidedly our friend the sailor is in luck.” “The grand duke sails for Egypt on Thursday,” said Mra Griffith, coldly. Miss Symthe turned a snowy should er to the intruder, ' and became ab sorbed in the music. The social wasp twirled his red mustache, smiled, and repeated, mentally, with his eyes fixed on the young woman before him— “Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendid ly null. Dead perfection, no more." Behind the scenes the dobutante made a sweeping1 courtesy to Mr. Brown. She was flushed, smiling', triumphant, and held a boquet “Will 1 do?” she demanded fever ishly. “Yes; you will do,” replied the man ager with deliberation. She laughed wildly, and threw her self on a couch, suffering the boquet to drop from her fingers. “I found my little Maltese in the audience, and she brought me good luck,” she murmured, passing her hand across her brow. “The role might have been better sustained, even a great deal better, mind you,” said Mr. Brown, senten tiously. “We must return to Paris for six months more of conscientious study, my dear. It would never do to face the critics of the most provincial Italian town now.” Melita lay in a little heap on the sofa; she had fainted. The opera terminated, Jacob Deal try waited at the door of the theater. The heat made his head ache, he briefly explained. A tall man approached Dolores, bowed, and ceremoniously begged her acceptance of a package from the grand duke. • Arthur Curzon compressed his lips in silence. Dolores laughed. CHAPTER XL THE BROKEN FAN. HE FULL MOON shone on Malta. A tiny rock, set in the midst of a wide expanse of waters, the island held within its bosom all the conflicting elements of life joy, hope, and pain, and the manifold cruelties of brutality and crime. The warm and fragrant night wrought magic with the town. Flights of steps became purest marble, balconies cast delicate arabesque pat* terns of shadow on adjacent walls, towers and domes gained the fantastic semblance of minarets and mosques. The massive bastions of the fortifica tions acquired majestic proportions, guarding the harbor, where the ships at anchor seemed to dream above their own images reflected in the waves. Lieut Curzon quitted II. M. S. Sparrow, and a small boat be (. him swiftly to the shore. Tlu Drow of the light craft, propelled by the stalwart arms of half-a-dozen man-of-war's men, cut through the water, like a wedge of steel, with mar vellous rapidity of motion, yet the progress could not keep pace with the impatience of the yonng officer to gain the quay. He wished to see Dolores again, after the opera, and to question her about the mysterious, package she had re ceived at the door of the theater. What right had the grand duke to send her a parcel at all? No thought of his cousin. Mrs. Grif fith, dwelling in the old palazzo above, crossed his mind. Miss Symthe had ceased to exist for him, banished by a novel passion He was in love. Those about him would soon discover his secret, with the covert pleasantries and open chaff of the unscathed. As well attempt to hide the head in the sand, ostrich-fashion, as to hope to de lude sharp-sighted comrades in all matters of the tender passion Self consciousness did not, as yet, annoy ] him. Love, had come to him with a smile and aj song. He wore his colors i of the prenx chevalier with gaiety. {.Who would dare to gainsay him? In good timo lie Intended to make Dolores his own. 8he should learn to rely npon his strength and wisdom, to look uo to him. In the meanwhile, soft dalliance and deli cious wooing would be his portion. □ The full moon held domain over the open country, bathing road and field in an Incomparable, dazzling white ness. Clusters of Oriental mansions, sparkling with the luster of polished stones, and framed by black depths of garden, seemed to invite the intruder to cross the threshold, and share in mysterious rovelries: they were modest villages by day. The sky was of an intensity of blue that appeared dark, as the moon, gathering effulgence from the transparent purity of atmos phere, dimmed the stars to mere glim mering points of flame. Light and air became blended in one. The quiv ering moonbeams were fragrant of orange, nespoli and oleander from the parterres, and the breeze luminous, permeated with little rays of phos phorescent gleamings. Was it this union of the elements in the southern night that awakened eelestial musio in the soul of the pedestrian? The sea was visible, a Crystal shield stretching to the horizon. A milky sail loomed with a ghostly distinct ness in the track of light. The waters heaved and whispered as if some marine monster of fabulous propor tions and terrible strength were about to rise to the surface, menace man, and sink once more to sullen depths. Gradually the vague sadness insep arable to such a scene of perfect love liness at this hour oppressed Lieut. Curzon, like a haze of mist brooding over some invisible marsh on the bor ders of a forest, lie ceased to hum a strain from II Itarbiore. The silence was only broken by the barking of a dog, or the tinkling of a musical in strument, strummed by a desultory touch. He extended his hand and grdsped emptiness. A moment before, spurred forward by ardent anticipa tion, he now dreaded to reach his des tination and reap the fulfilment of some unforeseen disappointment At a turn of the road he met a man. Capt Blake, with his cap tilted over one ear, a cigar between his lips, and bearing evidence of having dined well, accosted him with airy mockery. “Good evening. What! Are you moonstruck?" "As you seem to be," retorted the sailor, curtly. "You are right I have been far afield to seek some violets in a certain garden for Miss Ethel Symthe. I have bought them, mind you. Would you believe a man could be such an idiot?” “A pretty woman is sufficient excuse for any folly,” retorted Lieut Curzon, indifferently. “On dit cela! Pnt not your faith in princes, nor any daughter of Eve," warned the gallant soldier. "Good night,” said Lieut Curzon. "Good night” “You have been seeking the watch tower,” thought the former, grimly. "You have a rendezvous at the watch tower, my friend,” reflected Capt Blake, in turn. "I have a mind to spoil your little game in that quar ter. I fancy I could do it ” The trifling incident of a disagreea ble meeting aroused suspicion and alarm in the breast of the lover. In the seeker after country violets, cigar in mouth, and cap set jauntily at.lt on the head, he discerned a uird of prey, tracking the light footsteps of Jacob Dealtry’s grandchild. IIow gladly he would have welcomed an excuse to knock down by a well directed blow, this tacit adversary! Heavens! Had Capt. Blake already seen her? What a fool he had been to take her to the ball and the theater! He must warn her against the enemy of her sex. How could he warn her in her innocence? The Watch Tower rose before him suddenly, almost unexpectedly, in the midst of perplexing meditations as if conjured up by some magic spell, even as the little church is reputed to have sunk through the earth and vanished on a spot not far distant The place was glorified by moonlight A tower of silver, with the projecting points on the parapet resembling hoarfrost, mute, and apparently deserted, set in the margin of trees of silver, each leaf and twig sparkling as if with metallic reflections, was enclosed in a boundary of sheeny radiance. An aspect of un reality, as of flickering moonbeams gathered to the semblance of a picture only to shift and dissolve with the next cloud overspreading the heavens, gave the Watch Tower a remoteness from life and human sympathies. It might have been a fairy mansion set in a wilderness of enchanted wood or plain, and Lieut. Curzon the prince, clad in the cloak of Fortunatus, in quest of adventures. (to be continued.)

When Judge Buxton of North Caro lina as a young lawyer made his first appearance at the bar. the solicitor, as is customary in that state, asked him to take charge of a case for him. The young lawyer did his best, and the jury found the defendant, who was charged with some petty misdemeanor, guilty.
