New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-05-04

interesting head among the crowd,
really an exceptionally interesting
head; but now l am very anxious to
become acquitted with your adorer.
All! that blonde youth? Not bad;
that young man has distinguished
air-no doubt comes from a fine
family-and what is much better, he
docks manly and healthy"
@'How coldly you judge him! ] think
him extraordinary! I never saw a
handsomer face! He has & fine physi-
que and appears like a prince, just as
dimagine the prince in the fairy tale.
For the last week ] have met
him daily on thePromenade-oh! and
he has the sweetest snow-white poodle,
chat often jumps around me in joyous
leaps, as if he had something to tell
me! Since then, too, 1 always meet him
at the theater, where he fixes his opera
glasses steadily upon me as soon as
the curtain falls. Do you think he
doves me, Regina?"
II cannot say with any certainty,
but at any rate you are in love with
%him!"
"Oh, Regina, you are SO cruel"
Swell, dear do not let your courage
fail you; think you stand a chance Of
becoming the mistress Of the sweet
white poodle, If his master continues
TO stare at you to-night-for you your
self are not less sweet. " Reginareplied,
smiling at her younger sister, 81 beau
tiful girl of eighteen, with whom she
occupied one OF the first boxes.
Regina herself, 10 years her senior,
who had been suddenly widowed after
an exceedingly unhappy marriage,
was one OF those dignihed, interesting
persons who are characterized by an
atmosphere of melancholy. These
women often 60 through life alone, be-
cause they are rarely understood and
appreciated.
Regina's lovely eyes turned once
ter had diverted her attention. Yes,
remarkable head. The man to whom
it belonged could not possess a plain,
everyday nature; he must be an ex-
traordinary creature He was not
handsome, but there was something
glowing, fascinating something very
forclble in those features, as If pas
sionate fancy and unrelenting realism
had combined to bring forth a true
human soul, filled with a sense oil
beauty
How strange! In spite of the dis
tance, it seemed as if his eyes were fix
ed upon her, and she felt herself drawn
to him with kind OF magnetism
There--he took up the opera-glass,
and that disturbed her impression
so she turned away. At this moment
the curtain rose, and her attention
was fixed upon the stage. But be
tween every act, as soon as the daz
cling light filled the theatre, it. seemed
TO Regina as if she were to greet d
friend, one long sought for and final
Iy found, whose look should tell hel
that he would understand her deepest
and lnmost thoughts aud sensations
Oh, how good, how lovely beyond de
scription it seemed, after such long
long wandering!
The little sister at her side was sc
absorbed IN her own romance that
she no longer needed her. The Wag
merriam music and the glowing looks
OF her ''amoroso" put her into an ecs
tacy OF delight which vel, became he1
eighteen years; and as both were go
ing home in their closed carriage each
one leaned silently in a corner. Re
gina had closed her eyes,, as il SHIT
were dreaming, but Elsie sighed nov
and then in a most heart-rendins
manner.
Dear Madam: This can go on no.loncer
we;'re acquainted; only enough, however
to know that we must look for one another
We have veto confirm that which W,
have told through the opera glasses,
feel wonderful agitationin my soul lik,
that which must have stirred til,
great soul of the universe 81
the morn of the creation afte
the Let there beliaht'' Believe me Their
will lie light for us both
