A very credltable production of
Goethe's renowned work, Faust, /"
was given Monday evening by the Nor
rison company at Turner Opera house.
The scenic and electrical effects were
very fine and seldom equalled here,

it's rain of fire and genuine flashes of
lightning especially being on grand
scale. The histrionic honors were
shared by Miss Morrison as Marguerite
and by Mr.. Montague as Mephisto.
than by whom the characters could
hardly have been better portrayed. Mr..
MacLarren in the titular role was good
in some scenes. but failed to satisfy in
others. The production deserved a
larger patronage, which would no doubt
have been the case but for the very
stormy weather.

Now, as he went from his chamber to
cross the moat by the drawbridge, he
encountered Prince Rudolf returning
from hawking; they met full in the cen
ter of the bridge, and the Prince, seeing
NJ. de Merosailles dressed all in black
from the feather in his cap to his boots,
called out mockingly, "Who is to be
buried to day, ny lord, and whittier do
you ride to the funerals 1t cannot be
yourself, for see that You are marvel
lousy recovered of your sickness "
"But it is myself" answered the Mar
quis, coming near and speaking low that
the servants and the talconers might not
oyerhear. And | ride, sir, to my own
funeral

the Prince. "Yet | do not see my sister
at the window to watch you go and l
warrant you have made no way with
your wager yet"
"a thousand curses on my wager, ,
cried the Marquis. Yes, have made
way with the accursed thing, and that
is why l now go to my death"
"What, has she kissed you p cried
the Prince, with a merry, astonished
laugh.
eyes, sir, she has kissed me once and
therefore go to die"
~ have heard many a better reason
then, answered the Prince.
BY now the Prince had dismounted
and he stood by NJ. de Merosailles in the
middle of the bridge, and heard from
him how the trick had prospered. AT
this he was much tickled, and alas he
was even more diverted when the pen
itence of the Marquis was revealed to
him, and was most of all moved to mer
riment when it appeared that the Mar
quis, having gone too near the candle,
had been caught by its flame and was
so terribly singed and scorched that he
could no bear to live. And while they
talked on the bridge, the Princess looked
out on them from lofty narrow win
dow, but neither of them saw her. Now
when the Prince had done laughing, he
put his arm through his friends and
babe him not to be a fool but come in
and toast the Princess kiss in a draught
of wine. For" he said, Though
you Will never get the other two,
yet it is a brave exploit to have got
one"
But the Marquis shook his head, and
his air was so resolute and so full of sor-
row that not only was Rudolf alarmed
for this reason, but Princess Osra also,
at the window, wondered what allied
him and why he wore such a long face;
and she now noticed that he was dressed
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1895-08-11

ploring him to summon his resolution
and conquer his sickness for his friends
sake at home in France, and for the sake
of her brother who loved him.
"There is nobody who loves me, " said
the Marquis, petulantly; and when Osra
cried out at this, he went on. ''For the
love of those whom / do not love is moth
ing to me, and the only soul alive | love
=" There he stopped, but his eyes,
fixed on O5ra's face, ended the sentence
for him. And she blushed and looked
away. Then, thinking the moment had
come, he burst suddenly into a flood of
protestations and self-reproach, cursing
himself for a fool and presumptuous
man, pitifully craving her pardon, and
declaring that he did not deserve her
kindness, and yet that he could not live
without it, and that anyhow, he
would be dead soon and thus
cease to trouble her. But she,
being thus passi0nately assailed.
showed such sweet tenderness and
compassion and pity that NJ. de Nero
sailles came very near to forgetting that
he was playing a comedy and threw him
self into his part with eagerness, re-
doubling his vehemence and feeling now
full half of what he said For the Prin-
cess was to his eyes far more beautiful
in her softer mood. Yet he remembered
his wager and at last, when she was
nearly in tears and ready, as it seemed,
to do anything to give him comfort, be
cried desperately:
"Ah, leave me, leave me! Leave me
to die alone! For PHYS sake, before you
go, and before l die, give me your for
glveness, and let your lips touch my
forehead in token Of it. And then |
shall die in peace"
At that the Princess blushed still more,
and her eyes were dim and shone, for
she was very deeply touched at his
misery and at the sad prospect of the
death of so gallant gentleman for love.
Thus she could scarcely speak for emo
ton; and the Marquis, seeing her emo
ton, was himself much affected; and
she rose from her chair and bent over
him and whispered comfort to him.
Then she leant down and very lightly
touched his forehead with her lips; and
he felt her eye -lashes, that were wet with
her tears, brush the skin of his forehead;
and then she sobbed and covered her
face with her hands Indeed, his state
seemed to her most pitiful.
Thus NJ. de Merosailles had won one
of his three kisses; yet, strange to tell,
there was no triumph in him, but he
now perceived the baseness Of his device;
and the sweet kindness of the Princess,
working together with the great beauty
of her softened manner, so affected him
that he thought no more of his wager,
and could not endure to carry on his
deception; and nothing would serve his
turn but to confess to the Princess what

him across the bridge.
mot, said she, that / care what be-
comes of the impudent rogue !" Yet she
did not leave the window, but watched
very intently to see what NJ. de Nero
sailles would do.
For long while he talked with Ru-
dolf, on the bridge Rudolf, seeming more
serious than he was wont to be, and at
last the Marquis bent to kiss the Princes
hand. and the Prince raised him and
kissed him on either cheek; and then the
Marquis went and mounted his horse
and rode off slowly and unattended, into
the glades of the forest of Zenda; but the
Prince, with shrag of his shoulders and
a frown on his brow, entered under the
portcullis and disappeared from his sis
ter's view.
Upon this, the Princess, assuming an
air Of great carelessness, walked down
from the room where she was and faced
her brother, sitting still in his boots, and
drinking wine; aud she said:
I'M. de Merosailles has taken his leave
then 2"
even so, Madame" rejoined Rudolf.
Then she broke into fierce attack on
the Marquis, and on her brother also,
for man, sa d she, is known by his
friends, and what man must Rudolf
be to have friend like the Marquis de
Merosailles
Most brothers, she said in fiery tom
per, "would make him answer for what
he has done with his life But you laugh,
nay, daresay you had hand in it,"
AS to this last charge the Prince had
the discretion to say nothing; he chose
rather to answer the first part Of what
she said, and, Struggling his shoulders
again, rejoined. "The fool saves me the
trouble, for he has gone off to kill him
self"
ITO kill himself ~ she said, half
credulous, but also half believing, be-
cause of the Marquis gloomy looks and
black clothes.
"To kill himself" repeated Rudolf
For in the first place you are angry,
and he cannot live, and in the second he
has behaved like rogue, so he canuot
I've; ard in the third place, You are so
| lovely, sister, that he cannot live; and
in the first, second and third places, he
is a fool, so he cannot live T." And the
Prince finished his fagon of wine with
every sign of i'll -humor in his manner.
''He is well Dead" she cried.
''Oh, as you please, said he. ''He is
not the first brave man who has died on
your account" and he rose and strobe
out of the room very surlily; for he had
great friendship for NJ. de Merosailles
and had no patience with men who let
love make dead bones of them.
The Princess Osra, being thus left
alone, sat for a little while in deep
thought. There rose before her mind the

picture of NJ. de Merosailles riding
mournfully through the gloom OF the
forest to his death; and although his
conduct had been all and more than all
that she had called it, yet it seemed
hard that he should die for it. More
over, if he now in truth celt what he had
before feigned, the present truth was an
atonement for the past treachery; and
she said to herself that she could not
sleep quietly that night if the Marquis
killed himself in the forest. Presently
she wandered slowly up to her chamber
and looked in the mirror and murmured
low, "Po0r fellow !" And then with
sudden speed she attired herself for rid
ing, and commanded her horse to be
saddled, and darted down the stairs and
across the bridge and mounted, and, for
bidding anyone to accompany her, rode
away into the forest, following the tracks
of the hoofs of NJ. de Merosailles' horse.
1t was then late afternoon, and the
