 'Royal Harmachis,'' she said, "Cleopatra summons thee presently, to declare to her the voices of the stars"
 So the hour had falleni
 ''lt is well, Charmion," answered. "Are all things in order?"
 "Yea, my Lord; all things are in order; well primed with wine, Paulus guards the gates, the eunuchs are withdrawn savc one, the legionaries sleep, and already Sepa and his force lie hid without. Naught has been neglected, and no lamb skipping at the shamble doors can be more innocent of its doom than is Queen Cleopatra"
 ''It is well,' said again; s'let us be go- ing" And rising, placed the dagger in the bosom of my robe. Taking a cup of wine that stood near drank dsep of 1t, for food had scarce tasted all that day.

columns of black marble, we stayed, FOl beyond was the private chamber of Cleo patra, even the same wherein I had seen he, sleeping.
 Abide thou here," she said, "while I tell Cleopatra O.. thy coming" and she glided from my sido.
 For long stood, mayhap in all for half an hour, counting my own heart beats and, as In dream, striving to gather up my strength to that which lay before me-
 At length came Charmion back her head held low and walking heavily
 "Cleopatra waits thee," she said, spass on, there is no guard"
 "Where do meet thee when what must be done Is done?" asked, hoarsely
 'Thou meetest me here, and then to Paulus. Be firm and prosper Fare thee we'll"
 And so l went; but at the curtain l turned suddenly, and there in the midst of that lonely iamp-lit hall I saw strange sight. Far away, in such fashion that the light struck full upon her, stood Charmion, her head thrown back, her white arms out stretched as though to clasp, and on her girlish face stamp of anguished passion 80 terrible to behold that indeed can not tell itl For she believed that l, whom she loved, was passing to my death, and this was her last farewell to me.
 But of this matter I knew naught; so with another passing pangof wonder drew aside the curtains, gained the doorway and stood within Cleopatra's chamber And thcre, upon a silken couch at the far end of the perfumed chamber, clad in wonderful white attire. rested Cleopatra. In her hand was a jeweled fan of ostrich plumes, where with she gently famed herself, and by her side was her harp of ivory, and 0 little table whereon were figs and goblets and flask of ruby-coiored wine. Slowly drew near through the soft, dim light to where in all her glowing beauty lay the wonder of the world. And, indeed, never have seen her look SC fair as she did upon that fatal night. Couched in hor amber cushions she seemed to shine as a star on the twllight's glow From her hair and robes came perfume, from her lips fell music, and in her heaven ly eyes all lights changed and gathered as in the ominous opal's disk
 And this was the woman whom must slayf
 Slowly I drew near, lowing as I came {; but she took no heed. She lay there, and the jeweled fan foated to and fro like the bright wing Of some lowering bird
 At length 1 stood before her, and she glanced up, the ostrich plumes pressed against her breast as though to hide it's beauty.
 "Whatl friend, art thou comet" she said. "'Tis well; for grew lonely here Nay, 'tis 8 weary world We know SO many faces, and so few there are whom we love to see again. Well, stand not there so mute, but be seated" And she pointed with her fan to calven chair that was placed nigh to her feet,

 "Yea, yea" said; "why troublest thou me thus at such an hour?''
 May, know not; but tonight, Harma- chis, Fate is in labor of a great event, and In her painful throes mayhap she'll crush me in her grip-me or thee, or the twain of us, Harmachis. And if that be so well, I would hear from thee before 'tis done, that twas naught but a dream, and that dream forgot" @
 "Yea, 'tis all dream," I said, idly I; ''thou and l, and the solid earth, and this heavy night of terror-ay, and this keen pointed knife-what are these but dreams. and with what face shall the waking come?'
 "So, now thou fallest in my humor, Royal Harmachis. As thou sayest, we dream {; and While we dream yet can the vision change. For wonderful are the fantasies of dreams, seeing that they have no stabiI- 1ty, but vary like the vaprous edge of sun set clouds, building now this thing and now that, being now dark and heavy and now ahgnt with splendor Therefore, before we wake tomorrow, tell mo one word. Is that vision of last night, wherein seemed to be quite ashamed, and thou didst seen, to laugh upon my shame, a fixed fantasy, or can it, perchance, yet change it's countenance 1 For, remember, when that waking comes, the vagarles of our sleep will be moro un- alterable and more enduring than are the pyramids. Then W Il they be gathered into that changeless region of the past where all things, great and small-ay, even dreams, Harmachis-are, each in its own semblance, frozen into stone and built within the Tomb of Time immortal"
 H sS l did pain thee; but OCT that vision comes no change. l said what was in my heart, and there's an end. Thou art my cousin and my friend; moro I can never be to thee."
 "'Tis well-'tis very we'll" she said; "let 1t be forgot. And now on from dream-to dream" And she smiled with such a smile as had never seen her wear before; twas sadder and more fateful than any stamp that grief can set upon the brow.
 For-though, being blinded by my own folly and the trouble ct my heart knew it net-with that smile, for Charmion the Egyptian died tho happiness of youth, fled the hope of love, and burst asunder the holy links of duty. With that smile did she eonsecruto herself to evil, did she renounce her country and her Gods, and trample on her oath Ay, that smile marks the spot where the stream. Of history changed its course. For had I never seen it on her face, Oc;avanus had not bestridden the world and Egypt had once more been free and great.
 And yet twas but woman's smilei
 "Why lookest thou thus strangely, girll' l asked.

Audiences of South America.

"How do South American audiences
differ from our oWnp" asked the re-
porter.
.South American audiences are very
sensitive to the good and bad points OF
a performance. While they will almost
go crazy with enthusiasm over a great
artist, they are not ashamed, as 1 have
Just said, to show their disapproval by
vigorous hIsses. A peculiar feature Of
the Brazil audiences IS that the ladies
have fashion of promenading in the
lobbies during the entr'actes. as men
do here, chatting with each other, and
criticising the good or bad points of q
performance. Brazil Is an empire aud
Montevldeo is republic, but, singular
enough, you see more soldiers on duty
at the theatre of the republic than at
thOse of the empire. | suppose the
reason cf this Is that Santos, the late
president of Montevideo, was shot
tnrough the head III the theatre, aud
this has made the Montevldeans guard
the theatres very carefully. Every
night before the opening of the door a
body of 100 soldiers files up, and after
the performance begins they are dis
tributed throughout the house. Fifteen
bombeiros, or members of the fire
brigade. also appear, and these are
placed principally on The stage to guard
against danger from fire. All the
scenery, you see, is painted on paper.
1t is done IN Italy and is very beauti-
full 1t can be shipped more easily
than canvas scenery YOU can carry a
dozen palaces in your trunk and still
have room for a collar button-and
Can be- easily replaced if damaged or
destroyed. 1t is pasted on canvas after
1t gets to the theatre. 1t is, of course,
very lnfammable. and the precautlon
of having so many fremen constantly
in attendance is by no means an un-
necessary one.
