I have been at grcnt pain to get to the bottom of the whole Htory. When I first begun to truce it by inquirie among circus managers, perforiueiHiid i employee, I wn tnyelf a doubter. The ' whole thing wn no Htraiige, romantic and remarkable that 1 did not give it much credence. I It fcemcd IK) improbable, no Impowd ble, that for a time I thought it absurd, , too ridiculous to Investigate, I I myself bud seen Carlotta on her 1 first apiearunce in America and re member her a a great artist, a miperb I creature, very dark, very Ismitiful, and ! inch eye, o large, so bluck at the first look it Rcemed a though her face wn 'all eye. I I do not remember whether Carlotta wa Hpniihdi or Italian. She bud many j accoiiiplishmeniHiiiid npoke several lan i gnnge. Hhe hud Un alxnit everywhere 1 all over the world, following her pro I fcwdoti, and on account of her splendid I talent commanding the highest of aal j aric. j The manager who induced the black ; eyed Carlotta to come to America in i deed secured a prize that rare thing, a ' drawing card. The equestrienne came . direct from St. Petersburg to New York, bringing her own ring stock mid accom panied by a groom. There wn nooptiorttinity at that time for tho company with which the artist will to appear toopeu in New York, al though during tho season riiiladclphia and UoHtou wero favored with an opiHir tunity of seeing a real queen of tho arena. From all that I can learn tho foreign artist wa exceedingly tractable, or, ns the manager phrased it, "easy to get along with." Said thosenioi partner to mo, "If tliero wa ever a woman who minded her own liusini ss, it is she. " Corhitta, though, wa reticent and dignified, and although she wa not fa miliar nor permitted any familiarity on the part of the other mcmlicr of the company every attache admired her and Kiko in her praise. It was the aiiinu with the ring people, the concert folk and the working force. The Is antiful rider at this timo wore serious ii I r, mid while slio wa not pining away or running Into a decline a smile rarely low to her lip, except when the applause rung around the ring and the people' plaudit caused her black eye to dance with pleasure Kime surmised that the woman wn homesick and sighed for more familiar Keened and surroundings, and ono sym pathizing sisti-r, who had herself been touched by a Cupid's dart, remarked: "IguesMif the truth were known Car lotta is iu love!" That little mis wa a good guesscr. She must have been a genuine Yankee. (If course such a beautiful woman ami such mi artist had admirer in the company who would have breathed mat rimonial iispiiatloli if they had re ceived liny encouragement. It i a matter ot fact that tho senior iniinogcr, a widower, endeavored in vain to capture the charming equestri enne, but in spito of hi position and hi solid fortune he received no more encouragement than the other ambition aspirant. Whatever wa tho story of her heart, tho woman had no coiilidant, mid the season wa far advanced before any of u wero any tho wiser a to her anteced ents. A performer who had traveled much abroad and appeared in foreign ci reuse with our lady magnificent visited our show, ami from him it was learned that there wa a particular and pcculiai i cause for tho presence in America of ! Carlotta, the rider. 1 wa just a hungry for the new as any of them, and this is what this tnaii bad to say a near a 1 can recall it: "As you say, Carlotta is a great rider and a good a sho i gtent. Why, she set Kuiope ablaze, that woman did, and it i iu tho Kuropenn capitals that an arculc artist is appreciated. 1 know that ImjUi by observation and experi ence. " The man spoke with enthusiasm, and ho could have had no better listener. I wa all attention a ho continued: "Now, what I am going to tell yon is acred. 1 inn not telling all the rest cf this, but one can't help looking on so Interesting a subject. Understand mo that there was nosciind.il in theinattei, but the secret Is out when I tell you that Curlottu. thecircn rider, was loved by a prince!" 1 repeated, "Carlotta, the circus rider, was loved by a prince!" "Just so," remarked the relator, fe- sinning, "and now mark the result, i Tho prince's family on learning the i state of attain hustled the prini'e out of , the way. Overtheto a prince must obey oidcn or incur the royal displeasure. I The young fellow was just 'buried, ' and his allowance was cut off. Hough ! on the proud piince, was it not?" 1 thought it was "rough" aud said I io and then asked: "Did the prince love the circus rider, the supcih, the beautiful Carlotta?" I "He did, wa the answer. I "And the lider loved the prluoe?" " Without a doubt." "And where l the prince!" I "llh, I suppose lie is Mill under par- i ental surveillauce and displeasure." "And will they ever b brought to i gvtlicr agaiuV "Love net only laughs at locksmiths, but it grins st mad papas." "But be has rank," 1 suggested. "Yew, and be lias a heart," he re turned. "He i not only prince, but a mail." That waa all he knew about the case, ml 1 knew no more until the very last day of the season, w hen a distinguished feutlcmuii, with the air if nut the title of a pi Hu e, anlved a visitor to onr queen of the circle, the beautiful bru nette, Carlotta. i There is always something of a hurry and a senrry when the circu season coin'- to an md and the hand at the lust performance playa "Home, Bweet Home," and I wa unusually bny my self, but nut so much engaged a not to notice that Carlotta and the ttrarger 1 apx-ared to lie supremely happy. What u act Carlotta rode at botb performance that day! Such style, such grace, such abandon) 1 remarked it to one of the manager with the com pliment; "A great rider!" "Ureutt the world ever saw!" lie re turned and added, "lint she I lost to us. She will not ic-engugo." "On account of the newcomer?" I Suggested. "More than likely," returned tho tnunnger. At tho breaking op of tho show there wa a general handshaking and saying of "Ooodby" all around. Tho lust 1 suid the word to wu the qniM-n of them all, the js-erless Curlottu. Tho lx uuty wu gru'jious, ami a sho extended her little hand, with it j-wt b d fingers, site tuid sweetly: " Yon have all lieen no kind. Adien T' That was nice, but Curlottu did not In trod i ice me to bet distinguished visitor. "Of course ho is tho prince," 1 suid to myself. That was the lust timo I ever saw either of them. And it wu year and years l-fnr I even heard of them, and then 1 obtaiued my information In a peculiar way the information came , nnsonght I stumbled iiimiii It. I had engaged to go out with a tent shew and wu sent for by tho manager just ufter the holidays to do sotno writ ing tip for Ihe next scuson. He bud la-en ; building some very coetly tableau curs for the street pa rack-, and he took me over to the winter quartet that 1 might see them and expend some adjective de scriptive of their massive grandeur. At tho quarter 1 met several attache with whom I hud traveled In previous years, and one, Sailor Dan, wns over- . joyed to meet me, u wo hud not seen each other for year. The old canva- i man' greeting wa a honest u it wa ; hearty. He explained: "I am milking a net of cage covers for the old man." " Where have you lcii since I saw ; you last?" I asked. i "Down in South America," he re plied. "Hud a good, a greut time, but after nil said mid done I'm glad to Imj buck in tin country. Tliero i no place like old Philadelphia, after all." Fortunately tho manager was called to another pint of the quarter, giving Sailor Dun iieliimco to talk, mid ho wu a greut talker. " Yon see," said Dan, "when thatscii on ended, when you saw me last, I en- j gnged to Carlotta to go to South Amer ica a lu r groom. You sec, her groom , was that hone-sick that ho wouldn't : travel any more and went homo to some outlandish part of Europe. Now, I'm I a suilor, not altogether green about : horses, ns you may know, knocking j about with circuses a I have been for 1 so many years. , "Well, wo went down Into South America that i, Carlotta, her bus- j bund, tho prince, and mo" I "The prince?"
