an honest living. When she ran away from her Yonkers home with her fathers coachman she never gave a thought to the future. After the reporters found her and her husband iu West Twelfth street it was impossible for them to go into the street without a crowd at their heels.
 The most trying experience of this kind happened when the excitement over the elopement began to die out. The young runaways had been in the house all day. Their room was on the first floor, with te windows only "A short distance above the sidewalk. To prevent passers by from peering into the room the curtains were kept tightly drawn. It was very warm one evening, and when darkness began to gather the curtains and windows were raised. Mrs. Schelling was seated near one of the windows, when she felt tug at her skirts. She screamed and sprang back into the room. Her husband looked out and saw tall fellow make desperate efforts to climb into the room. When he saw Schelling he dropped to the side walk and disappeared
 Shortly aiterward the young couple started out for a walk. They had not gone far when they discovered thnt the same fellow was following them. A flow minutes later they noticed a crowd gathering, and saw that the big man was pointing them out to everybody he met. Gradually the crowd grew until Schelling became alarmed. He then hurried his wife into cab and escaped.
 The most persistent of their tor mentors were alleged theatrical agents. They kept calling at the house until their rings at the bell were not an- swered. Then they wrote offensive notes, making all kinds of absurd offers. To escape this, MT. schelling moved to West Twenty second street.
 A Sun reporter called on Mir. and Mrs. Schelling. He found them in their pretty little room. Brussels carpet was upon the floor. A piano, filtered with music, stood facing Q handsome dressing case. The papered walls were adorned with Scriptural notices and portraits in neat frames.
 Mrs. Schelling had on the brown dress she had on when she climbed the hill to the Mount St. Vincent Seminary and met her brothers in friendly converse. She has grown stouter and looks happier than when the reporters were chasing her about the city. She wore pair of dragon shaped earrings, thickly studded with diamonds. Diamond rings were upon her fingers. She was asked about her engagement with Manager Amberg of the Thnlia Theatre.
 '1Oh, I can't say anything about that" said she, "because I promised Mir. Amberg I wouldn't am glad the affair is settled, because have been worried to death by men who wanted to engage me. My husband was very care full though, and would listen to terms from no one unless he assured himself first that they were gentlemen and capable of keeping their share of the contract. As most of these men were any thing but gentlemen, their visits had only one result, and that was to worry me to death.
 "A friend of mine introduced me to Mir. Amberg, and on Tuesday l called upon him. He asked me to sing, and did so. He was pleased, and he engaged me at once"
 Manager Amberg was found in his office at the Thalia Theatre.
 "I never would engage anybody sim. ply because they happened to be noto- rious," he said. "They must possess merit or have no use for them. When asked Mrs. Schelling to sing she will ingly consented. She went on the stage and sang. My theatre is large, but her voice filed every part of it with the most exquisite melody. Ineyer before heard woman sing who had such con. trol of her voice. She sang a selection from Fl Trovatore, and did it splendid ly. immediately engaged her for six months. She will begin singing in con- certs on Monday evening next have not yet decided where it will be, whether here, at Steinway or Chickering Hall, or at the Academy of Music. She will re. main here two weeks, and then go to Boston. After that she will travel West. She has expressed desire to sing for benefits, and have agreed to let her sing in behalf of any worthy charity"
 "Will she sing in opera ?'
 "She will, if think her capable of committing opera to memory. If she succeeds ss an opera singer she will bo able to sing in English. German, French and Italian opera. She will have to work hard to get along, but she seems willing to be instructed. She has no wardrobe, and by my advice she has en- gagged Mme. Michaelis of Fifth avenue to fit her out
 "will her husband be business man. ager ?"
 "No. I have engaged him as ticket agent He seems willing to work, and I have no doubt will prove trustworthy. It was rumored that Mrs. Sehelling's father had written to me to cancel the engagement. I have received no letter or communication of any kind from him. I should not cancel the engage. ment even if he did request it, as con- sider that he has nothing to say in the matter"
