Into my bosom dare to creep.

"LA FILOMELA. "
Tlie-liard work , of in } ' practice in
London had so completely exhausted
my energies that in January , two years
ago , I was obliged to seek rest and
change. Having great faith in variety
of work as a tonic and restorative , I
determined to spend some months in
Paris , where I might , if so minded ,
follow up a specialty in which I was
greatly interested , and yet live com
fortably in holiday fashion with my
eldest sister , a widow residing in that
cheerful capital for the education of her
two daughters.
For a fortnight after my arrival I led
a lazy life , and fell into a routine which
made me the attendant of my sister and
nieces , who appeared to consider
"Uncle Paul" a decided ! } ' useful ap
pendage. Mary and Lucy were charm
ing girls , aged respectively sixteen and
seventeen , and my sister iiad cause for
the triumph she felt in the success of
her mode of bringing them up , for
they were thoroughly well informed
and accomplished , and yet seemed to
be without any consciousness that-their
intelligence and acquirements were
above tl o average.
Of course I heard a great deal of
their instructors. They laughed at
their German master in an amiable
way ; imitated the fiery Italian , whose
patriotism was the motif for most elo
quent discourses ; and pitied the Par
isian , who could not persuade herself
their accent was sufficiently pure. Their
love and admiration was reserved for
their singing mistress , for whom they
lad nothing but praise so unqualified
that I saw the girls were victims to one
of those passions evoked in school days ,
which , for strength and vehemence ,
are often prototypes of the love of later
life.
life.They called this lady ( whose name
Giulia "La Filomela "
was Martigny ) ,
and told me if 1 could but hear her
sing , I should never ag ain mention such
second rate voices as those of the prima
donne of London , Paris and Vienna ,
whose organs I had hitherto been ac
customed to consider entirely satisfac
tory.
tory.My sister was very fond of Signorina
Giulia , but told me she -would like to
know something of her history before
permitting the intimacj' for which the
girls were eager.
"Does the "
encourage them ?
Basked I.
"By no means , " was the answer ;
"she discourages the slightest attempt
to establish more friendly relations ;
and all I know of her is that she was
trained for a public singer , and has for
some reason entirely relinquished the
career , and will only teach or perform
at private concerts , and even then she
is capricious in her choice of houses to
which she will go. "
"In what way ? " I inquired.
"She has never sung for any of the
Americans here , but for French , Eno--
lish , or foreigners of any other nation
ality , she will always appear ; and.her
voice and style are really quite out of
the common. She would have succeed
ed well in public , I am certain. "
"Strange ! " I said. "What belong
ings has she ? "
"That I really do not know , " replied
my sister. "I have heard her mention
lier father , but I do not feel sure that
lie lives with her. She never goes any
where before nine in
the evening , or
stays after eleven. She has a little
brougham , and at night a young maid
servant is always in it. She seems to
have no acquaintances , and not to wish
for any. I confess the slight mvstery
piques me a little , as we usually learn
the histories of the girls' teachers' so
quickly. "
"She is probably very poor , " suo--
gested I , "and does not wish to display
her want of means to all beholders. "
"I think not , " was the reply. "I
sliould judge her to be comfortably cir
cumstanced as far as money goes. "
The conversation ended , and as I had
not seen the lady , the matter faded
from mymind. _ One day I came back
from a visit to a confrere earlier than T
expected , as he was summoned away ,
and on opening the door of my sister's
"flat , " I heard some one singino- with
a voice so pure , so melodious , ° sotround
and full , that I stood transfixed. The
opening words of Braga's serenata ,
"O quail mi risyegliano , " filled the
vestibule with wistful , longino- tones ,
and a soft accompaniment on-pTano and
violin harmonized to perfection. It
was only for a few bars , however , for
Lucy's little voice took up the strain ,
and the spell was broken. I went to
the morning-room in search of my sis
ter , and asked if it were "La Filomela"
I had heard ; a needless question , for I
knew it could be no one else , and was
filled with a desire to hear her notes
again. Laura told me that most likel } *
she would not sing any more , as she
very seldom did so , and that her meth
od of teaching was one of her peculiari
ties , being conducted so much more by
precept than example , and yet entirely
successful.
"But , " she added , "I have taken
tickets for a concert in aid of some
charity which is to be held at the house
of the Duchess de L'Agan' next week ,
and as 'Lg , Filomela' is to sing two
songs , you had better go with us and
near her. "
"Willingly , " 1 replied. "It would
greatly please me to see the possessor
of such a voice. "
My nieces were delighted that I had
heard" their nightingale , and told me
she had seated herself at the instrument
to show Lucy it was possible to play
J
the song and sing it too , and had let
Mary take the violin accompaniment.
The night of the concert arrived , and
then I saw "La Filomela. " How shall
I describe my impressions ? Wo all
know how difficult it usually is to recol
lect the idea we formed of those with
whom we are now intimate when our
acqaintance with them was only begin
ning , and yet the memory of the picture
this girl made on my mind is clear
enough to me now. A crowded room ,
a fashionable audidiencc , a popular
tenor , a tremendous pianist heat , light ,
perfumes , flowers all that had made
up the scene faded as the folds of the
heavy curtain at the side of the plat
form Avere parted , 'and a slight , girlish
figure appeared , dressed simply in
creamy satin and with a string of pearls
around her throat and a bunch of crim
son rosebuds for sole ornament. She
walked gracefully and was entirely
self-possessed ; when she stood before
the audience she raised her lovely gray
eyes and gravely , quietly scanned the
faces of ner listeners , Her manner
struck me greatly ; there was no trace
of excitement , scarcely a sign of interest
in what she had to do , yet the look she
threw along the rows of seats made me
feel that it was a matter of consequence
to her who filled them.
"She sang some music by a young
amateur which had been written for
her , and the composer was her accom
panist. The words were sad ones , and
each verse ended with a refrain of "Ma
pace mai , mai ! " The idea was that
the singer could taste love again , fame ,
ambition , but that remorse prevented
any hope of peace ; and the earnestness
with which the signorina gave "But
peace , oh ! nevermore , " was almost
terrible. When the song ceased , the
audience remained perfectly still for
some seconds , and then a whirlwind of
applause literally shook the room. No
encores were permitted , owing to the
length of the programme , so "La File
mela" was not seen again till her next
turn came in its course , and then she
sang an elaborate scene , which dis
played the excellence of her training
and the beauty of her voice , but to me
it was meaningless. In the first piece
was the soul of the singer , in the second
only the power of the songstress. After
she left the room it became dark to me ,
and promising to return in lime to escort
cert my sister to her carriage , I went
out into the starlit streets , thankful to
be alone , for I realized at once what
had befallen me. I , Paul Messent ,
wrapped up heart and soul in a profes
sion which devours the minds and bodies
ies of its votaries , had fallen blindly ,
desperately in love with this girl whom
I had seen once and heard twice , and
for me the world was changed.
I passed a wakeful night , but by the
morning my resolution was taken and
my plans made. I would seek this
girl , and if possible win her. Why
should I not ! I felt certain that no
fault of her own caused her isolation ,
and for anything else I cared not at all.
A week after the concert my sister
gave a musical party , and then I had a
chance of speaking with La Signorina
Martigny. She was sweet and gracious ,
and one evening's companionship seem
ed almost to make us friends. I went
to every house I could at which she
sang , and used every means in my pow
er to penetrate the veil of mystery with
"
which she enveloped herself ; in"vain. .
At the end of a month I found myself
more fondly attached to and more hope
lessly apart from her than I could have
believed possible. I had never passed
her threshold , but I haunted the street
in which she lived , just for the sake of
seeing her enter or descend from her
carriage , and gaining a smile or look
of recognition.
I was becoming desperate , and medi
tating an avowal of my passion to her ,
when one afternoon my sister said :
"Paul , I have been to 'La Filoniela's'
house. "
"Indeed ! " said I ; have you made
any startling discoveries ? "
"No , " was the answer , "but I think
Giulia was vexed with me. "
"Why did you go ? " asked I.
"I had a note from her this morning ,
asking if she might postpone to-mor
row's lesson till Thursday , " was the
reply , "but that cannot be , as we go to
Versailles on that day , you recollect.
I forgot to write to her before going
out , and as I was passing the door this
afternoon I sought admittance , really
without giving the matter the second
thought.
"Well ? " I inquired , as my sister
paused.
"Hie door was opened by a very old
servant , who looked , at meith sur
prise , but ushered me into the prettiest
little sitting room I have seen for a
long time" There is no lack of comfort
in her surroundings. I had time to
notice that there was a large armchair
near the fire , with plenty of cushions
in it , and beside it a small table , with a
spectacle case and an embroidered
velvet cap on it , before Giulia came in.
Her manner was stiff , but she thanked
me for the trouble I was taking to ar
range the change of day , for which she
apologized. Her father lives with her ,
I feel sure , and he is old and infirm. "
"You ought to be a detective , Laura , "
said I , "with such powers of observation
and deduction. "
That evening as I was making my ac
customed patrol in front of Giulia's
house , I noticed a man , tall and dark ,
with a pointed beard , who also walked
up and down before the same residence.
He looked continually at the first floor
windows of No. 17 , where were "La
Filomela's" apartments. He was
dressed as a gentleman and looked
strong , but I observed he had a slight
limp. For three evenings I noticed
him , and began to wonder why he was
watching my darling's home , and if he
were connected with the strangeness of
her behavior.
On going into my sister's drawing-
room a week after she had called at No.
17 Rue du Colisee , I foand her and
Giulia in earnest conversation. Giulia
was crying and my sister seemed agi
tated.
"Here is Paul , " she said ; "we had
better tell him , Signorina , he will help
us. "
"My father is very ill , " she said , look
ing up at me with her eyes full of tears.
"He will see no doctor. I don't know
what to do , "
"Tell me his symptoms , " said I.
She described his sufferings , from her
careful account of which I easily gath
ered the nature of his malady. "Have
you tried such and such remedies ? " I
asked. For answer she showed me
three or four prescriptions , which told
me his case was a bad one , and of long
standing ; the only other hplp of which
I knew I could not order without seeing
the patient.
" 1 believe I know a palliative , " I
said , "but I dare not prescribe it with
out seeing your father. "
"He will let DO one come to us , " she
said sadly , and I could see she clasped
her hands tightly , and maintained her
composure with an effort. "He wishes
to be quite unknown in Paris , and fears
seeing any stranger lest it should lead
to his being recognized. "
"But , Signorina , " I said , "his condi
tion is serious ; to a doctor his patient is
only a 'case. ' Explain this to him ; let
me call this afternoon. You cannot
witness his suffering without feeling it
is imperative he should have help. "
"I will try , " she said. "Will you
come at four on the chance of seeing
him ? "
"Assuredly , " I replied. My heart
ached at having to let her go with such
a weight of care on her sweet face. t
Laura told me that Giulia had been
obliged to tell her the seclusion in
which they lived was caused by the
dread of their being discovered by an
enemy who ruthlessly pursued them
with some motive for revenge. She
had been forced to give up the career
for which she had been educated , be
cause it made hiding impossible ; and
she further confided to my sister that
this enemy would give up his wish to
injure her father if she would consent
to marry him , but that she could not
do.
do.The
The next few hours passed slowly for
me , and yet my spirits rose. Surely
this chance would bring me nearer my
darling. I could undertake her father's
case with confidence , for his disease
was one I specialty studied , and suc
cess with which had been the chief
cause of my gaining with somewhat
"unusual rapidity a large practice. At 4
o'clock I was admitted to the patient ,
whom I found suffering under a distress
ing paroxysm of his malady , and I was
thankful to be of use to him. At
length he fell asleep , and I persuaded
Giiuia to leave him to the care of their
old servant , and to take some rest. She
was engaged to sing that evening at
the house where I had first seen her ;
she told me the duchess was to have a
large party , and counted on her pres
ence , and as she had been one of her
earliest , and was always one of her
kindest friends , she was anxious to keep
her appointment. I could assure her
I thought her father would suffer no
more for the present , but hid from her
that his case was desperate and the end
not far distant , though I apprehended
no immediate danger. She consented
to allow me to sit with him during her
absence at the concert , and I promised
to go to the Rue Bel Perpino , where
the duchess lived , to meet her as she
left , and convey the latest news of the
patient.
My watch by the old man's side soon
passed ; he was dreadfully weak , but
talked to me apparently .with confi
dence. He said that with his death
Giulia's life would change , and that he
believed it would be a happy thing for
his darling when lie was taken. "She
will not think so , " he added in his fee
ble voice , "we love each other so dear-
iyBefore
Before eleven I took my way down
the Avenue Friedland to the Rue Bel
Perpino ; the duchess' house Avas near
the corner , and as I was early I did not
'
enter the street but walke'd up and
down. It was April , and the soft
spring night was delicious. There had
been a shower , and the pavements
gleamed in the lamplight ; carriages
were rolling to and fro , but of pedes
trians there were few. I saw Giulia's
brougham waiting near the turning to
the street ; the driver's face was toward
me , so I quickly recognized him : he
was conversing with a man who leaned
against the lamp-post close by , and
whose head was raised so that the light
fell strongly on him for a moment. I
saw a black-pointed beard , and needed
not that he should move away with a
slight limp to enable me to recognize
the stranger who had been watching
"La Filornela's" dwelling. I felt that
I must tell Giulia of him , so I begged
for a seat in her carriage that I might
go home with her. bhe seemed sur
prised when I accompanied her into the
house and asked her to give me a few
minutes' conversation. She went to
look at her father , who was sleeping
peacefully , and then came back to me.
I plunged at once into the subject , and
told her that I thought she ought to be
warned about the man whom I had seen
watching her house and talking to her
coachman ; when I described him and
mentioned the limp with which he
walked , she sank into a chair and be
came so white I feared she would faint.
Her dilated eyes had such a look of
terror and anguish in them that I could
not forbear taking one of her cold
hands in mine and saying , earnestly :
"Signorina , trust me ! Tell me your
secret ; 1 implore you to let me try and
help you. "
"I will ! I must ! " she said , "I can
bear it no longer alone. This man
whom you have seen is Seth Walton ,
our enemy ; my father wronged him ; he
was agent in New York for him ; his
own business was grievously unsuccess
ful , and he took some of Mr. Walton's
money. It was to give me the three
years' education in Rome , which would
enable me to sing in public. He hoped
to repay it before it was necessary to
settle accounts , but could not. Mr.
Walton discovered it and came to us in
Vienna ; it was the night of my first
concert ; how well I remember it ! I
had made a success , and when we
reached our home this man was waiting
for us ; and I heard what father had
done. Since then we have wandered
abouti We are Americans , and our
name is realty Martin mine Judith.
We have tried to hide , and have been
in many cities and I have shunned my
country people everywhere , but still he
has always found us. He threatens to
have my father arrested unless I
marry him. All ! " she said , with a
broken sob , "I can cannot do that
death would be preferable we must go
away again. "
"Will he not take the money and re
linquish his revenge ? " I asked.
"No , " she said ; "of course we have
offered him that nay , thrice the sum
and the amountis lying at his banker's
in New York ; but ho holds the proofs of
the deed , and seems to care only to be
revenged. "
This was indeed terrible , and I could
only implore her to let me see this man
if he should attempt to invade their
home. I left her , promising to come
early on the morrow.
I told Laura the sad history , and we
agreed that she had better accompany
me to the Rue du Colisee in the morn
ing , and that we should try to keep
watch all day. At 10 o'clock we were
there , and I found , to my sorrow , that
a change had taken place in Mr. Mar
tin's condition. He was sinking rapidly ,
and a few hours might sec the endI
was obliged to tell Judith as gently as I
could , and she bore the news bravely.
It was as I had surmised ; by the even
ing Robert Martin's sins and sorrows
were over , and I gazed at the calm
features almost with thankfulness. His
face looked much younger than it had
done in life , but there was a weak ex
pression on it , even in death. Judith's
grief was sad to witness , but she was
patient exceedingly and permitted mete
to arrange for her alii details , as if I
were an old and trusted friend.
I went to her house on some business
the afternoon after the death , and hear
ing that she was sleeping , I asked that
I might go into the sitting room to
write a note. The old servant was out
but Judith's little maid showed me in
and gave me what I needed.
I Avas bus } ' Avriting Avhen there Avas a
loud ring at the outer door , a rough
voice said : "I shall enter ; let me pass ,
girl. " The door Avas flung open , and
Seth Walton came rudely in. He paus

but began coarsely
"I knoAv that Robert Martin lives
here ; I insist on seeing him ! "
I stood up and gazed at this man ; a
arim idea came to me. "You shall see
him ! " I replied , and opened the door

Games ofSarayes.
London Saturday Review.
We must look for considerable sim
plicity in the games of savages. We
must also -allow for their Avant of me
chanical skill. No outsider , not even
Mr. Gale , knoAArs ho\v a cricket ball is
stuffed and sewed ; some at least of the
processes are a trade mystery. The
savage cannot produce a cricket ball , a
golf ball , a billiard ball ; his equipment
is thus scanty , and he has to do the best
in his pOAver with the rude materials
and means at his command. Yet AA'C
must not despise the games of the sav
ages. Little studied as they have been
by the anthropologist ( for CA'cn Mr.
Taylor has chiefly AA'ritten about a
primitive form of backgammon and
and about tsigan , or polo , alone ) , the
games of savages deserve to be observed -
ed Avith respect. The arrangement of
such vague things as savage games is
not very easy. They ma } ' , perhaps , be
classed as imitative , gambling and
purely sportive , though the divisions
naturally overlap and run into each
other. The first category may be dis
missed brieity enough. Of savage as of
civilized children it may be said that
"their whole vocation is endless imita
tion. " A Avedding or a funeral among
their elders is copied by the little
ones in childish play. The Esquimaux
children "build little SHOAV huts , Avhich
they light up Avith scraps of lampAvick
begged from their mothers. " Austra
lian children have their tiny boomer
angs and light yet dangerous boys'
spears , the latter being made of a long
reed tipped AA'ith a sharp piece of hard ,
heavy Avood. Australian children are
regularly taught by the old men to
Avicld their little Aveapons , and the late
Mr. Grimston. at HarroAV , has his Aus
tralian counterpart in the aged Murri.
Avho sets up the mark for the children
and teaches them IIOAV to direct their
missiles. A disk niade of bark is thioAvn
bark doAA'n on the ground , and ,
as it bounds along Avith irregular leaps ,
the young blacks cast at it AA'ith their
spears. "Obedience , steadiness , fair
play and self-command Avere inculcated
by the practices witnessed" in the play
ing fields of the bush. The imitative
games of young savages , then , are like
those of other people , only varing in
the things imitated. Among games AA'C
can scarcely reckon are the dances of
the adults , in AA'hich the manners and
customs of beasts are imitated. These
dances have ususually a religious sense
( as Avhen the Athenian girls mimicked
the bear in the AA'orship of Artemis ) , or
they are magical ceremonies , intended
to secure luck in the chase.
'Rah for Bel ! "O , it's a quiet cam
paign , is it ? " says the fair Belva Lock-
AA'ood. "Well , it isn'tgoing to be much
longer ; I'm just nominated on the fe
male suffrage ticket for the presidency ,
and don't you forget it , dear , there's
going to be lots of bustle in this cam
