Alfred Doncaster had loved the beau

seen her. and he had fondly believed
that she loked upon him with more
than ordinary favor
But now his hopes lay shattered, ana
the future stretched out black before
him.
The strong, handsome young man
sighed. and was silent for a long time.
At last the sweet maiden said:
Try TO be brave, Alfred. Look at
me. See how / am bearing up"
He turned toward her in wonder. and
said:
Why should you bid me do this?
What have You to bear up under?"
She shrank back little and replied
oh, Alfred, if you only knewl"
Evanseline!" he cried, catching her
IN his arms and holding her in a strong
embrace, you love me. All, darli lg,
you cannot hide the truth from me,
Tell me is it so.''
Yes" she whispered, Il love you,
Alfred"
oh, heaven!" he groaned, this is
terrible, terrible. oh, if you only hated
me-loathed me! Then my fate would
be less bitter"
She was frightened and drew away
from him.
Why" she asked, "do you want me
to hate you?"
An" he answered, Il might bear
my own burden, but how can / survive
knowing that you, too. suffer-"
Yet why should either of us suffer-"
the trembling girl inquired
"Evangelinel" he almost Kissed, edo

minutes to win her back again.-New-

of the Hermann house of magic was
a German physician. When not en-
gagged in bringing his patients back to
health he spent his time in devisinS
weird illusions and curious tricks with
which he delighted his friends. He
took up his residence in Paris, where
he developed & wonderful expertness,
but this Hermann never appeared IN
public He performed his feats for the
amusement of his friends alone at in
formal gatherings at his home. He
was the father of eight sons and an
equal nurAber of daughters. Carl, the
eldest son, possessed from childhood a
talent for sleight- -ofhand, and, as he
grew older, determined to make it his
profession. He was wonderfully sue
cessful. and his name and fame as
magician was known throughout the

world. He died seven or eight years
ago Carl made up his mind that Alex

such step was great. To carry out
his cherished design that Alexander
should perpetuate his name in legerle-

spirited him away TO Russia. ana
trained him for the end in view In St
Petersburg Alexander made his first
public appearance. They travelled over
the greater part of the world together
The two brothers came to America in
1861, and fifteen years later Alexander
became citizen of the United States
Carl and Alexander then started on q

was the old Emperor with Alexander
and his wife that he decorated the
former with the cross of Brazil, and
to Nine, Hermann he presented a mag
nificent butterfly brooch for the hair
the Intrinsic value of which amounted
to several thousand dollars.
Like his brother Carl, Alexander
commenced a few years ago to look
about him for successor. He realized
that In all human probability he could
not i've many years. and the desire to
leave successor for the work he loved
SO Well seized him. He went to Europe
especially to see his nephew Leon, and
so struck was the great magician with
Icons deftness and dexterity in ac-
