tude. Little as l am prepared to judge,
l cannot dissent and must fully concur
when Willie pronounces the beauty of
the senoritas of Barcelona beyond all
question. Such remarks as these passed
necessarily from one to another during
our extended promenade. ''See, Judge,
| isn't she charming ?" Look Willie,
there comes something au fait." Evil
liam, look! look see that exquisite
blonde. how about Golden Hair now ?"
William looks, but his memory of golden
hair so floods his emotions that we Hear
some such response as ''Oh, pshaw :" or
'She wont hold a candle" We peer in
to the shop windows, which are quite
Partisan, and walk through the plazas
into the courts, staring about as unsophis-
tcated lads in Broadway. Barcelona is
unlike any city [ ever saw before, and
one among the most elegant, if not the
gem of all I ever saw; but we have
many yet to see, and | withhold judg-
mont. l may say of it, peculiarly for
eign satisfying CUR ideal, yet homelike to
our qualification. To appreciate it, let
one come feom the filth of Andalusia and
Morocco, not from over the Pyrenees
fresh from tidy France. The manner,
the dress and the general bearing of
these Spaniards is widely at variance
with those of Southern Spain, quite as
different as the Yankee of Vermont and
the planter of Georgia. Ask these ram
blers on the Rambla questions such as.
''is the cathedral near? ?" and we get an
answer polite and to the point, not as in
Andalusia, where the Intercepted would
stare at you savage as banditti, or
mournful as if proceeding to his mothers
funeral, or suspicious as if to say Il
guess it's my pocket-book, not the ca
thedral, you want" but worst of all an
unciyil reply eyidencing contempt in its
every word. We do not fail to observe
the peculiar and elegant attire Of the la
dies Of Barcelona, -rObed in the heaviest
of fine black corded silk eXtravagantly
| trimmed with deep point laccS, and
shoulder mantle hanging in graceful
folds from a golden comb in the pro-
fusion of raven hair. This mantle is Of
silk velvet, purple tinged, black, and
over all as a gossamer, the draping of q
rich black silk veil. We also remark the
number of Photographic establishments;
the word not to be mistaken is emblazOn-
ed on all sides, "FotOgratia. We have
sought the rooms and, strange to say,

with tropical sun and whose military
uniform bore upon the breast several
crosses and decorations, entered the cafe
with the multitude of other guests and
called for refreshments. Having dis
patched the latter this officer proceeded
in the usual course to the pay desk of
the house, and was handing the amount
of his bill to the attendant ''lady of the
counter" when between the latter and
himself there passed look of startled
recognition, followed by an exclamation
from the one, and the fall, in a dead
faint, of the other
In moment all the guests of the cafe
were gathered in excited cOncourse
around the PROSTATE woman, and the
strongly agitated soldier hanging over
her, and it was some time before any
explanation of the scene could be OBJ
tanned. When at last, in response to the
rather angry questioning of the two mas
culine proprietors of the cafe, who now
appeared from the inner room, the mill
tary intruder wildly claimed the fainting
lady as his long lost wife. The whole
company cried out that he must be a
lunatic, and commended him to the DO
lice. No lunatiC was he, however, but
the ''late husband" Of the fainting wife
the eX-captain, who, ten years, ago,
wOOed and married her in Switzerland.
From the wreck of his vessel Gas cor
rectly reported at the time) on the coast
of Africa, he had been cast ashore, alone
and almost insensible, the solitary sur
vivOr of the catastrophe. In such situa-
ton death seemed preferable to the brok-
en- life he saw before him, and he was
upon the point of leaping back into the
waves when the thought flashed upon
him that France had an army in Africa,
in which it might be possible yet to re
trieve his desperate fortunes.
The eXtravagant idea was an inspira-
ton to eXtravagant action. At the near
est military post in Algeria the wrecked

and his friends in France to believe that
years rolled on, and by his superior in
telligence and bravery he had risen to
the rank of captain. Then fastened to
France. then to Switzerland, he had
reached SOleure only to hear that his
wife, apparently dying Of grief for him,
had been carried BY her uncle to some
place in France, there probably to die.
RemOrsefully aware now of the fatal
mistake he had made in Concealing the
fact of his existence from those more in
terested in it for so long a time, he had
returned almost a maniac TO Africa, not
doubling that his wife was dead, and
caring for nothing hcnCefOrth but the
chances of an honorable death-bed in
battle for himself
