Romance in Real Life.

A highly romantic incident occurred
o few days ago at Huber's, the we'll
known Vienna photographer, says the
list. James Gazette. An elderly gentle
man, apparently foreigner, went to
have his photograph taken; but as he
had to wait few minutes for the usual
preparations, an album of specimen
photographs was handed to him. All
at once the employees in the next room
heard shrek, and, hurrying to the
salon where the stranger was waiting,
they found him lying senseless on the
floor. When he came to himself he ex-
planned that the album at which he had
been looking contained photograph
which he was convinced was that of his
daughter, whom he had not seen for
,twenty-one years. The features were
so like those of his wife that he could
not be mistaken. He said that un-
fortunate circumstances had compelled
him to leave her twenty-one-years ago,
at time when his daughter was only 8
years of age. He had made every ef-
fort to find out the whereabouts
OF his family few years later, but had
not been able to discover any trace OF
them. He had long since acquired the
conviction that they were both dead.
The photographer told him that the
portrait in question was that of q teacher
of the piano forte residing in Vienna
giving her name and address. 1t was ar
ranged that the stranger, Herr M
of New York, should call on her the
next day, and that in the mean timt
she should be warned of his intended
visit. The lady turned out to be his
daughter, and has already left Vienn'
with her father for the United States
He is wealthy speculator, and th'
poor music mistress has suddenly fount
herself heiress to fortune of severa
million of dollars. Herr M, prio
to his departure, presented Herr Hube
