The day was a rather warm h g e one for March, and Mr %Iaxmann d —a small, stout man, with a very red face—had removed his collar b I and necktie, which lay on the table in front of him, beside his beer mug. bank, full His waistcoat was unbuttoned and thrown back, revealing a not too the immaculate shirt front. Rush, as l soon as he announced that he was b f from The Dawn, was ushered into confidence the manager's presence, but was lk d about to retreat with an apology for under their arms if Miss Knowlton intruding upon his deshabille, when had not come to the rescue, and in- sisted that the orchestra should be paid with the money which was due her that day, and which she knew Maxmann would have ready for her, because he could not afford to treat her as he had the poor musicians. "Noble creature!" said Rush to himself. "She is as good as she is great." And to think that he was going to see her, and on that very day, too! He learned from some of the peo- ple of the theatre that she drove out. with her aunt every afternoon on the days when she didn't sing; and, as this was one of them, Rush con• voile . Hes a regular agidator, chided that he would nor find her Ohs and he won't be happy till he gets at home then, but that he had bet - up -a row. He's sugceeded in,rnak- ter call at her house just before din- • ner time, when he would be pretty sure of finding her in. This would give `him time to dress, as it was not quite 5 o'clock. So he hurried over to West Eleventh street. Never before did this young man dress himself with so much care.— He had taken his usual bath in the morning, but he took another, and put on the best of everything .be owned. He looked over his stock of shirts with the eye of a Brummel. The collar of one was too high, the collar of another too low. Finally ho completed his toilet and set forth. His landlady met him in the hall. "Bon jour, Mnie. Pinot," he said, gayly, as he ran downstairs; but Mme. Pinot was so struck with his changes appearance that she could not find words to return his saluta- tion. . "Well," said she, in French, fur she said it to herself, "something has happened; he doesn't look like like the same person I saw this morning." And indeed he did not. There was a color in his cheeks and a brightness in his eye that had not been there in many a day. His en- counter with' Archie Tillinghast and his assignment from The Dawn office would have been exciting H enough without this great climax. He lost no time in walking to West Twentieth street, but when he turned into that street and the little gothic housesstood in all their prettiness before him, he slackened his speed. For a moment he thought he was ill, but he concluded that it was cnly the effects of an exciting day. Back and forth he walked in front of the house he was so soon to enter, and could not make up his mind to pull the 'bell handle.— "Rush Hurlstone, you're a fool !" he finally said. "Don't you know this is business?" Chen ho mounted the steps and rang the boll. How musically it tinkled in the basement below! The door was opened by a man servant in livery, of whom be demanded, "Is bliss Knowlton in?" "I will inquire, if you will be good enough to send up your card," replied the man, with the evasive answer of the well trained servant of you, a public person, at the same time " ushering Rush, who banded him Mr Musgrave's note of introduction, into a gem of drawing room. A U grand piano stood in the middle of the room, which was adorned with I fine paintings and some rare por- traits of distinguished singers.— Flowers in baskets and in vases filled the place with a rich perfume. Easy chairs and bric-a-brac abound- ed. The whole atmosphere of the room was ono of luxury and good taste. "This is her home," thought Rush, looking about him; "these are the rugs her tiny feet tread upon; these are her hooks; there stands her piano, over whose Pitcher's Cagtoria. the little man sprang to his feet and embraced him in the most af- fectionate manner. "Gome ride in, mein dear young gendleman," said he, forcing Rush into a chair. "Sid town and make yourself ad home. A glass here, you young rascal." (This to the office boy.) Then, filling the two mugs, "Your goat hel, my frient," Rush drank the toast and ex- plained his business. "Yes, you may call it a strike, a leedle one; but I don't tink we'll haf any more drouble. -. It all comes of tad flagelot of mine --such a stupid in making some of the odders tink that they want more ,money for re- hearsals, but they don'd, and they know it. But some mens are never - satisfied, That's all there is; the performances will go on all ride.— Do you care for music? Of coarse you do. I see you are a young gen- dleman of taste. Hero are some tickets. Don'd refuse me. I nefer asked you a favor before. Come, and bring her." And the manager • winked. his good natured fishy gray eye at Rush, whe smiled to himself as he thought who the only "her" was. Rush thanked Mr Maxmann for his courtesies, and bad just risen to leave the room, when the door burst open and a gayly attired young woman swooped in upon then. I beg the reader's indulgence for say- ing "swooped," but no other word would describe this young person's manner of entrance. "Ab, here you are. papa!" said she, giving the manager a resound- ing kiss upon Ms bald head. "I was afraid you would be gone before I got here; but I'ye been flying around like 'r hen on a hot griddle all the morning—rehearsals and costumers; there's no rest for the wicked. Don't forget, you're to take the out to dinner to-night.— You must give me a good one, too. All the exercise I've had today has given me an appetite and a thirst, too; don't forget that, papa -.--and a thirst too." Then suddenly dis- covering Rush, who was tugging in effectually at a spring lock. "Who's -the young gentleman? Why don't you introduce me?" ."You didn't give me time, baby. ,Mr Hurlstone, of The Dawn."— .,,Rush bowed politely. "Happy to meet you Mr Hurl - stone, of the Dawn, said the young woman, staring boldly into his eyes, as she put out her large hand, ';swathed in° lavender colored kids, fee him to shake. "Hope you've "bad a satisfactory chat with papa, -;and that he's given you lots of items d+itr your paper and tickets for your - Self.,, ' '`Your father has been very kind," said Rush. But he had hardly said itho last word when she gave vent to' such a laugh as he bad never dieard from the mouth of a woman ;before, and the old manager's face ,.Was actually purple in his efforts to "keep from bursting. "Therel you've said enough," said he, as soon as she could control her lattghtor; "that's as much as .i can stand for one afternoon." The office boy entered the room atthis moment. Rush availed him- self Of the opportunity to escape and bowed himself out. The manager wag choking with suppressed laugh - ."yr, and the young woman was pentoding him on the back as Rush lathed to make his parting bow.

The doer swung back on its hinges; he opened his eyes Aunt Rebecca Sandford entered room. Rush started. If he been struck in the face he could have had a harder blow. It . him a few seconds to recover wits. If he had had to speak he would certainly have disgraced himself, but Aunt Rebecca begs once. "She's very busy just at this mo- ment," (Miss Sandford had an way of saying "she" or "her" w she meant her niece, forgetting that there were any other she hers in the world), "and asked to atep down and see you. I' very partial to press boys my Mr Hailstorm," (another ugly t os hers was to get people's names wrong), "and I'm always glad have a little chat with them. a seat, pray. You wanted to her about that strike. Well, n I really don't see how she could anything on that subject. doesn't want to pitch into Maxmann beeause the man really means well; but, you know, an Italian opera -is an expensive luxury. That's by it's fashionable. It will never popular though, mark my words. English opera is what'll` fetch people. If that child ever sings English opera she make her ever- lasting v lasting fortune, 1 tell her so, t but they all have a foolish pride about Italian opera. It's nonsense, arrant nonsense. The biggest mo- ney is in the English opera, y mark my words." Rush had no doubt that she w correct but he bad not come the to hear Miss Rebecca Sandfor opinion of the relative merits English and Italian opera, He w a diplomatic young man, however, and when he found that the pros- pect r pect of seeing Miss Knowlton look dim, he tried all his arts. When Aunt Rebecca, who was an impul- sive mp sive woman for all her shrewdness and brusque manner, learned th it was her first assignment, she to a personal interest, and said should "see that child as sure there was a Moses in the bulrush- es," ulrus es," and she left the room to fete her. This time there was no mistake. Rush heard the clear notes of Mi Knowlton's voice as she descends the stairs, and - in a moment she was advancing toward him with he hand extended.` •Such a beautiful hand, too' It felt like a rose lea as it lay in his for half a second. " 1 am very glad to meet you, M Hurlstone, and shall be most harp if I can be of any service to you." Then she sat down on one side o him (Aunt Rebecca sat ou th other), and' "took him all in," as she afterwards told him. She saw tali, well made young man with brown hair, a clear, dark skin, and strong, white teeth that a budding mustache made no effort to conceal. He was certainly handsome, and he had an easy, natural manner that was attractive. About the strike she would rather not say anything, but as he had taken the trouble to find her and did not want to go hack empty banded, she would say that,-althcueh she did not believe in strikes, her spmpathies were with the strikers in this instance. "They did not strike for higher pay," she said, "but for what they had already earned. I do not, now - ever, want to accuse Mr Maxmann. He had no intention of cheating them out of their money; he only wants time. You see, Italian opera is very expensive, and the expenses are not properly apportioned. We prime donne are not paid in the right way. We should not get at ch large certainties. I have always held that a prima donna should he paid in proportion to her 'drawing' powers—a small certainty and a percentage." "Hear that child, now!" inter- rupted Aunt Rebecca, "you might know that she was an artist—no head for business. A small certain- ty, indeed ! Who ever beard of such a thing?" "Not a prima donna, i will ven- ture to say," said Heleu. "No manager would bo bold enough to mention the subject in her presence." So they chatted on for fifteen or twenty minutes, "I have been very frank with Mr Hurlstone," said Helen, and I leave it for you to draw the line between what I have said to you and what I have said to The Dawn. I think that I ani perfectly safe in trusting myself in your hands." And she gave him a look of such confidence that he was quite beside himself. Both Helen and her aunt were pleased with Rush. "When you dire at the theatre come around see us," said Aunt Rebecca at parting. He was so young and so enthusiastic that she liked him; and then lie was a "newspaper man !"

He was a smooth tongu as fellow, and he urged her to writ re labor reform pamphlet, which d's engaged to print and send broadc of over the land—if she would pay t as expenses. But the labor reformers pall os- upon her after a while, and she ed gan to think deeply upon the s jeet of negro equality. She talk ul- about it to every one who wou argue or agree with her. She at tended some meetings held to d took cuss the subject, and once invit he the African orator home to dinn as She said that she had "no vulg h_ race prejudices;" but her father ha h and the dinner party did not co off. Encouraged by her patrora the orator told her cne day that Miss had no vulgar race prejudices eithe d and that he would as lief marry e white woman as a colored one. H r advanced this belief with so roue meaning that Miss Archer rang t t bell and ordered the servant io p him out of the house. After th ,. day she carefully avoided the su y ject of negro equality, and turne her attention to the amelioration r f the condition of the Indian. Tb e fancy pleased her lcnger•than usua e bit after she had made quite a co a lection of Indian trophies, and res a good deat,more particularly poem of Indian literature, she went ou to the plains to visit a friend wh had married an army officer. Ther she saw the Indian divested of ro mance. She thought him a ver uninteresting peasonage, and pre ferred the legends of the poets t facts that there stared her in the face. At the time when Rush Hurl - stone became acquainted with her she was deeply interested in esoteric Buddhism, and had attended some questionable meetings at the apart- ment of the high priestess of Buddha, a certain Mme. Parapet'', who drew around her a wholly Bohemian and partially vicious lot of people, most- ly rnen, among whom she sat smok- ing cigarettes and discoursing of the strange things she had seen in In- dia. She wore a brooch which she said had been plucked cot of the forehead of a departed Hindoo and and placed at her throat. Did any one doubt it? There was the brooch. Mute. Parapoff was a very clever woman, and had written a book en- titled "The Rending of the Veil," which no one read, but which every one said was a wonderful produc- tion. It was in two large folia vol- umes, filled with illustrations,show- ing the veil before and after the rending, and giving the mystic signs known only to those who bad sought faithfuly for esoteric infor- mation on this subject. Mme. Parapoff, as I have said, was clever, but she had a face that would frighten off any one who was not particularly anxious to learn that which she alone professed to teach. Bessie Archer was never more alarmed in her life than on her first visit to Mme. Parapoff's "bungalow," as the latter called it. She had never seen such a looking woman before; her face repelled her but her manner was reassuring.— Tho Russian woman was a thorough woman of the world, and she saw that in this -visitor she had a fish of a new sort to deal with, who could not he caught with the common bait thrown out to the nen around her.
