can not understand, he said, "hoW
If is YOU get OH so well with prima

Patti. You are marvellous man, anu

Patti does not wish to break her en-
gagement with you, as she certainly
would have done with anyone
else under the circumstances;
Give me the $500 and she VIII
make every preparation for gong

You can let her have the balance

I thereupOn handed him the GoOO

parted with the money in his pocket;
After the opening of the doors l had
another visit from Signor Franchl. BY
this time an extra sum of ESQ had
come in. I handed it to my benevo-
lent friend. and begged him to carry
it without delay to the obliging prima
donna, who, having received 1850,
might, I thought, be induced to com
pIete her toilet pending the arrival OF
the G4O balance. Nor was | altogether
wrong in my hopeful anticipa-

Franchi came back and communicate

Nine. Patti had got one shoe on;
"Send her the G4O," he added, and
she will put ON the other" Ulti-
mately, the other shoe was got on;
but not, of course, until the last $40
had been paid. Then Nine. Patti,
her face radent with benignant
smiles, went on to the stage; and the
opera already begun, was continued
brilliantly until the end.
