She began the recital and showed
familiarity with the story extraordinary
in one Of her years. She seemed also to
feel an incomprehensible agitation as she
related the sufferings of the Maid of Orleans.
When she reached the point where Joan of
Arc was condemned to be burned alive
she was too overcome to speak.
At that moment the locomotive whistled
several times and the train began to reduce
speed, soon stopping entirely. Wiping
off with a napkin the frosty window of

Hundreds, thousands of those beautiful

was full And it was a house noticeably
and scrupulously well hammered in at least
one respect there was no chattering or
confusion when the opera was in progress.
But many went out before the opera was
over-it didn't end until two or three min
utes after midnight. They lived in the
suburbs, suppose, or had got to get up to
build the fire in the morning; and so before
the opera was finished there were many
vacant seats on the floor, and lo the grand
tier was all but empty.

Fourteen years of age, and fair as a lily,
with silky, golden hair, expressive blue
eyes and charming face; kind and gentle

OF manners that indicated the superior

such was the description of my cousin

her education, had intrusted her to my
care to he taken to school in Paris.
We left Madrid by the Southern Express,
and early in the afternoon of the second
day which was in January it began to
snow heavily. Dolores and | were seated
al one of the small tables in the dining car,
and were just beginning dinner, when the
train stopped and we heard the call, "Or-
leans, five minutes stop"
"Orleans," exclaimed she, covering her
face with her hands,
"Yes, Orleans, the birthplace of Joan
OF Arc" said l.
NO. quickly replied Dolores, uncover
ing her pretty face, Joan Of Arc was not
born here. She was native of Domremy,
and if she is known by the name of the
Maid Of Orleans it is because of her efforts
to prevent this place from falling into the
hands Of the English"

HOW OPERAGOERS DO RUBBER!
1T AMAZES MIR. STOGGLETON THE
WAY FOLKS CARRY on.
The Audience at the Opera House as 1t
Appeared to Citizen Who Doesn't Go
There Very Often-TwO Shows for the
Same MOney-One Mysterious Feature.

"Well," said Mr.. Stoggeton, -Ive been
to the opera: and go SO seldom that when
I do go enjoy it very much The opera
I heard was 'Tannhaeuser.' / cant say
I'm greatly stuck on 'Tannhaeuser,' but
it's all right, and l like all operas, any
way.
This is the first time I've been in the
opera house since it was done over, and
I like it. But for the lands sake, when
they were about it why didn't they blow
in few thousand dollars more and do
the ceiling too!
-The ceiling is apparently the old one,
left over untouched; all right enough. l
suppose, with the previous style OF the
house, but it looks mild and faded now,
compared with the rest of the splendid
interior; makes you think of a man in
gorgeous uniform coat, with corduroy
trousers. And that act drop, too, must
be an old one Red, and so it goes all right
with the house. but it looks worn, and so
doesn't come in well with the fresh new
decorations.
"The audience was fine; and how vast
it seemed, as it really was! A perfect sea
of lovely women beautifully dressed and
of bravely attired men, stretching out in
all directions, with many more such people
in tiers of boxes and galleries rising on the
face of the surrounding cliffs, those at the
highest about as far away as the eye could
see.
THAT audience would be something well
worth while going to see even if there were
no opera. Look where you would and you
saw some new beauty in face or in grown.
or in both: and how the people did look and
rubber! The way the people on the ground
floor, especially, looked at the people, in
the grand tier boxes was something that
/ never saw the like of before.
And somehow it didn't look rude or i'll
hammered, or what ! suppose you would
call provincial, to see them do this, either.
1t seems to be the custom, for one thing,
and, for another reason. the distances in
this great house are such that you have
to look with opera glasses. and looking
at anybody in that way is something very
different from walking up to him and staring
him in the face.
But. anyhow. the. people on the ground
