AT this moment from some neighboring par
music of "Robert, tor que Jaime" sung by q
voice so rounded, full, and gr and, that our con-
versation died a natural death We listened to
perhaps the most perfect love song in the world
with bated breath, and except that the beauti-
full blue eyes Of Miss Gilmartin filled once or
twice with tears she listened, should have
thought her indifferent TO Alfred, his sufferngs,
struggles, and c0ntending loves; but some thing
in the way she listened told me that my latest
story had impressed her. After this, although
l met Miss Gilmartin often In society, could
not bring about tete- a-tete. She continued to
brothers had bored her.
do not know why was so much shocked
and astonished to hear that Miss Gilmartin was
engaged. She was beautiful, she was belle,
why should she not be engaged? heard she
had carried Off one OF the matrimonial prizes of
the day. There was nothing more natural.
Women must wed; there is nothing else for them
to do.
Yet it was with something of pang that I
remembered, when went OFF to Europe, that
our last conversation had remained unfinished.
ON the beautiful drive ct Nice, inhaling the
Odors of orange blossoms and oleanders, and
gazing on the glorious blue of the Mediterra-
mean, a sapphire set In sapphire, passed two
aides in a carriage, one of whom bowed.
Was 1t the reflection of the sky and the sea,
or 1t was 1t the blue flash of the eyes Of Miss
Gilmartin? A nervous thrill assured me 1t was
fthat transcendent prospect, the beginning
OF the Corn che road, can have an improvement,
l think 1t derived that benefit on this suspicious
occasion. 1 found Miss Gilmartin, and her
mother at the Hotel de Europe that evening,
and learned from the latter that Miss Gilman
tins engagement was broken Off 1t was only
the next morning that we found ourselves TAX
ing breezy and fragrant walk together, which
ended In our seating ourselves under . group of
oleanders, with the Mediterranean for = play
thing.
{" Mr.. RUSSELL" said Miss GilmartIn. "I
never told you what thought of Alfred"
"The King who burnt the cakes?" said I.
"No, your brother, who burnt his fingers.
