and often passed an evening at one or
the other of the numerous places
OF amusement in New York. On the
night in question, the dreary ugliness of
this, the most dismal of American opera
houses, was enhvened by thefa faces, the
brilliant toilets, and the noisy chatter Of
crowded and fashionable audience. I
had come to listen to the music, and was
much disturbed blythe incessant talking
which went on around me, party oc-
cupying seats in the front row imme-
diately above me being especially an
noying. They kept up a continual stream
OF conversation and laughter in very au-
dible tones. till at lat, fairly out of pa
tience, turned and looked up. hoping
that my indignant glances would have
some effect in reducing my tormentors to
silence. As did SO. my eyes rested on
the face of a young girl who, with part
ed lips and eager gaze, was leaning over
the front Of one of the boxes, and looking
intently at the performance on the stage.
As the fame in yonder fireplace seizes on
the fresh-placed logs and flashes upward
into new brightness, it shines upon
the painted image of the beauty revealed
to me at that moment, the face that fas-
cinatedmy gaze and enthralled my heart.
"Cest Ia fatalite!" sings Ia Belle Helene,
in that opera of Offenbach's which I have
too much cause to remember. It uus ia
tality, the blind infatuation which seized
upon me in that moment, and which
held me captive till a few short months
ago. I loved Maude Pemberton from the
first moment that I looked upon her,
and l left the theater with the settled
purpose (unavowed even to myself, it is
true, but not the less existing) of MAX
ing her my wife.
MADNESS! you will say. All, yes, it was
madness; but are any of us so wise that
we may forever escape from the commits
sion of acts of insane folly ? Is any mind
80 perfectly balanced that it may not be
swayed by one of thase sudden impulses,
prompted by the feelings and passions
which may have seemed dead, but were
but sleeping? In my youth had never
loved, and my fate when it came met me
in this insane, unreasoning guise.
To be continued.
