1t was on Saturday-a day Mary Somers
was supposed to spend with her mother,
but which shc really spent with her friend, |
either in perambulating the streets, going to
the matinees, or in secret contradictions on
the mysteries of life with Adele, all alone in |
Mrs. Jones little uncomfortable rarlor
Mrs. Somers ought perhaps to have pre- |
ferred that her daughter should be with her;
but then as Mrs Somers was religious
woman, an active member of fashionable
church, a leading name on all charitable
committees, Institutions, and charities, she
had no time to attend to Mary beyond send.
ing her to the fashionable school, to which
all mothers with husbands in the high
social position of Mr.. Somcrs sent their
daughters.
Mary was, therefore, not afraid of being
discovered by her mother, but Adele said
her mother would never forgive her, and
would betray them both if she came to know
Of the meeting, therefore had she contrived
that it should take place after dark. They
crcpt out at the back door, down the mar
enced hands of Adele, and Signor Zralldi is
found waiting on the other side
Mary could not see him distinctly, but
she heard his beautiful broken English, and
she heard him tell her that she was the only
being he had ever loved since his removal

The interview lasted but few moments,
ending in fervent kiss on Mary's brow,
and solemn promise on her part to write
to him, for this italian prince, whose only
resource was to become tenor, was forced
to depart and to follow the orders Of the
miserable manager who paid him.
But he would return, he would dedicate his

The tenor prince kept his word; the, let,

all danger.
and her letters the tenor would not return
for oyer year, SO prolonged was the tour,
but Mary learned to love nm desperately
| from their lmpassloned correspondence.
Meantime her friendship tor Adele IN
creased IN proportion to the devotion she
displayed, and such conversations as these
took place:
Mary, now don stir, let me look at you;
why, how well you look, to be sure, and
what stylish hat; Oh, II only had one
but no, what am saying
You shall have hat, darling Adele,
