of secretly planning a match between
us. Violetta's blood is as good as the
beet in Italy, and the fact that poverty
compels her father to rent us the villa
would not trouble Lady Castlefort. The
truth is, there is a charm aboutthisun-
restrained yet half clandestine relation
in which we now stand, which I am
loath to give up. Besides, we are about
to have* new member in our family,
and I wish to see how her presence af-

of a home to me that I presume to take
a personal interest in your private af-

I1.
Lord Castlefort and his mother, hav-
ing no immediate ties in England, pass-
ed their winters in Naples. They bad
secured the 'villa` of an Italian count,
whom reversed fortune had driven into
the lodge of the estate,where he lived
with leis daughter ana couple of old
family servants.
Lord Castlefort was wealthy, culti-
vated;
ulti
vated; of fine musical':abilityand• of un-
exceptional family. He had the •entree
of the best .-musicalcircles of Naples,
ttnd intercourse with, the leading Ital-
ian composers had taken from his music'
much ofitsGothic sombreness. When;.
however,, he wished to produce the sym-
phony he had written.he found himself
confronted by. difrirculties upon every
hand: Unsuspected obstacles sprang
up on every side; and he learned how
bitter can be the spirit of Italian,jeal-
itusy.: Many who had been his friends
became his avowed opposers, and he
had but too good reason to believe those
more dangerous still who continued the
outward Show of sympathy. The con-
flict, for conflict it at last became, was
waged with much bitterness upon both
sides, and the composer was almost in
despair when help came from an unex-
pected quarter.
Diplomatic ,business brought to Na-
ples the Venetian Duke di Moeciri
whose acquaintance Lord : Castlefort
had made in Paris some years previous.
The duke professed :much admiration
for the. Englishman's music and friend -
1n for .its author winch the latter was
far from reciprocating. The duke's rep-
utation was none of th€: best •and Cas-
tlefort suspected that his flatteries were
wholly disinterested. He knew the
etiap was au bus to be considered
pa ,. �t n ofrt, and that nothing so
hie pride as dedications froom
artists Merit lnwhateverdepartment.
AS for Highness's reputation as a
proficient in fne black art, Shied in the
broad sunlight of the nineteenth cen-
tury noon made the superstitious Nea-
politan laxaoroni cross themselves at
sight of him, the sturdy Englishman ,
naturally laughed that to scorn.
When the duke offered to overcome
the difficulties which prevented the pro-
duction of the symphony on condition
that it should be dedicated to him, Lord ;
Castlefort scarcely listened. The au- a
ttor promised himself the pleasure ,
of dedicating it to Count Brogni, and
did not willingly abandon leis intention.
.A.s difficulties increased, however, the i
united solicitations of his mother and of
Brogni himself prevailed, and the Byrn -
phony was dedieated to, the Duke di
itfocciri.
As if by magic all difficulties melted
away, and upon the evening of the day d
uppoon which the conversation recorded
above tooklace, the symphony was
produced. The composer conducted,
and despite the opposition which was
expected, the work was most enthusi-
astically received. The symphony had
been placed last upon the concert pro-
gramme, and as quickly as possible afte
er its conclusion. Lord Castlefort es-
caped from the congratulations which
were now heaped upon him, and drove
rapidly hoose.
When he and his mother reached the
villa they were !net with the inform -
taut that a young lady had just arrived.
"It is dile. Stoccatt," said Lady Cas-
tlefort. "I did not expect her until to-
morrow; but she is welcome at any
time."

ANPANTS.
When Lord Castlefort entered the
breakfast
tea nrct inetthe mariner,
ion of his sv'mp14 after he
found his mother and 1►erguest Welting,
biro. With the strains of the music
still lingering in his head, it is little
wonder that when Lady Castlefort pre-
sented hien to the stranger the opening
bars of the mantic seemed to sound in
his ears.
The new confer vas a tall, slight
maiden, with dark hair and wonderful
eves, a complexion olive but perfectly
clear. She seemed to shorn traces of
English blood littler carriage and in the
shape of her long, firm hands. She
greeted Castlefort without embarrass.
meld and equally without boldness. A.
subtle something about her seemed to
hien to indicate that she was possessed
of some prevfousknoivled eof him, but
it was natural to suppose that her moth-
er or his Mil had spoken to her of him.
The table talk was larvae confined to
ene symphony anti us perlornlance ants
the ilupreesiun whirl► it had made. Sig-
nora Stoeeati listened with her eves fix-
ed
ixed upon iter plate, and without joining
in the conversation. In reply to a ques-
tion from Lady Castlefort in regard to
her journey, she raised her eyes with a
sudden penetrating glance, but immedi-
ately dropped them again, murmuring
some incoherent reply.
The young man examined her cur-
iously. There was a grace about her
movements which greatly charmed him,
and while she was totally finlike any-
one he remembered, something still
made her seem familiar. lie puzzled
over this half resemblance after he had
returned to his own rooms; and when
Count Brogni came to the villa in the
evening he found bis friend still deep
in the mystery.
"I have been over my whole list of ac-
quaintances " Castlefort said, "past and
present, and I cannot tell of whom she
reminds me. I could almost say of some
one whom I have known most intimate-
ly. The strangest part of it is that
both my mother and myself bad the im-
pression that the young lady was blonde,
There is somethin uncanny about it."
"I am most anxious to see this mys-
terious damsel, his friend said; "is
your fair enigma musical?"
"I suppose so," was the response; "all
young ladies are nowadays. But she
does not appear like an ordinary mortal;
she may be a genius."
"Violetta must look after you," said
the other, smiling. "This stranger has
evidently made a deep. impression upon
your fickle heart."
"Consider my relation purely. a fath-
erly one," replied Castlefort. I assure
you I feel really paternal towards her."
"Why not fraternal?"
"I do not know exactly; but oatmeal
it is."
"When does the duke return to Ven-
ice?" asked the count, suddenly ehailg-
ing the subject.
Not until after the carnival, I be-
lieve. He is urgent for the revision
and copying of the symphony; I do not
understand his eagerness. It may, aft-
er all, be merely an attempt to flatter
me; bat he declares his intention of
bring' g it out in Venice."
'When the two friends joined the
ladies, Lord Castlefort watched with
.some curiosity to see what effect the
stranger would have upon his friend.
She received the cotent graciously, and
from,the.first.treated him with marked
preference. There Was a strange ab-
sence of conventionality in her mariner,
to which, however, no fault• could be
found •u on the score of lightness. She
..ccharmed without apparent, effort, and
'from•the firstliere were firmly estab-
lished bereieen herself and Lord Castle-
fort frank land friendljr relations, like
those between brother and sister, or, as
he lightly said,.of father and daughter.
Lady Castleort, upon her part; was
charmed with her guest; and as was her
wont, began at once to plan a letter to
Lady Stoccati, full of the praises of her.
friends daughter. As Lady Castlefort
was a notoriously poor correspondent,
however, the letter remained unwritten; -
although from day to day . my lady de-
vised new and well-turned phrases
wherewith to embellish et.
The spell of the maiden seemed to ex-
tend itself to all the household.. Brogni;
too, was completely subdued by it. He
experienced to some degree the same
sense of former acquaintance which had
puzzled Castlefort.
"But that is natural," he said to_ hid
friend. "Every beautiful 'woman. is,a
reminiscence of Paradise."
Upon the•first evening he found him-
self following Signora Stoccati's every
movement with close gaze, and when
,r repeated regetests she consented,
to play,he led her to the piano with an
air of evotion of which he was only

be given upon the pianoforte, her pe

Astonishment arts adnfirationt were
mingled in the ft elates of her hearers.
The count, leaning forward as he sat,
l eenied rrrapt in the music. He remain-
ed silent after the last chord had ceased
to vibrate; but Castlefort cried out in
exulting surprise:
"Where did you learn the andante of
my symphony'?"
I have to begs your pardon," she re-
plied smiling, the themes are lying
litre upon the piano."
"But they are only memoranda which
I have been too careless to put away."
The piano does not do it justice,"
the said, evatitng thetalint. "flow
mush you miss the horns here."
"You should have heard it last night,"
exclaimed Brogni, as she played the
phrase.
She smiled, but made no reply. Cas-
tlefort was recalling. with secret amaze -
Meat, the fact that the instrumentation
was not marked upon the MS. she had
found upon the piano.
All solicitations failed to induce the
Signora to play again
Signora
a composer," she said,"encour-
age apt pouri? I cannot believe it."
"That is unanswerable certainly,'
Castlefort laughed; "unless Ton should.
ply the same again."
The first evening seemed to determine
the relations of Signora Stocenti with
both the young men, Castlefort ex-
hibited ever after the fatherly interest
he had vowed, and equall • she showed
afrank, fres liking for vhim such as
might exist between old companions.
Oddly enough, despite the dissiluilarit
between ills mini:telly English face and
her Italian beauty, she constantly show-
ed a subtle and balling vet undeniable
likeness to Lord 1'astlefint.
"Frazolina is safely vttursister,Carl,"
Violetta would say. 't13e sure she was
stolen from your side in the cradle."
The eount's feeling for the beautiful
stranger was inuiisguistatly a stronger
passion than affection. Ills old boast
that music was and should be Iiia only
mistress, was wholly forgotten. He WAS
so fervent and sell abandoned in his
love that be scorned any attempt at
concealment. Indeed there was ht f raz

fine imperceptible barrier. iviiteh all

They all felt, too, the presence of a
certain mystery about Frazolina, and
melt inwardly expplained it differently.
To the Count di Brogni it cvas only the
shyness and sweet intoxication of a
maiden's first love; the mist through
whielt his star gleamed: unchanged and
undimmed in itself. Lady Castlefort
vaguely attribute 1 this intangible some -
thin to a peeuP.u`ity of temperament

it no farther. Tier son, on the outer
