Rosen must have been watching out from the balcony, for he is iu the street when the droski stops at the door. To witness his wild state of excitement, an onlooker might suppose that it was his betrothed he had been expecting, and who had arrived. He lifts Maruseha to the pavement, and shakes her hands with frantic energy. “ Welcome! Welcome, Maria Petrov- no!” he cries. Truly, if he had not confided to me his passion for a certain young lady, whose image he carries in that locket attached to his watch chain, I could find it iu my heart to be jealous. He gives her his arm up the stairs, too, ignoring my ex istence; and in the sitting room again takes possession of her hands, and gazing ot her with delight and satisfaction, re Iterates: “ Welcome! Welcome, Maria Petrovna. I am mighty glad to see you! I was sure you would come to-night— quite convinc ed of it. And all is in readiness for you. and here is Frau Meyer to show you to jour room.” In the doorway appears, smiling, and smoothing her hair, a large-boned, fresh- colored German matron, whom I have not seen before, and whom the good fel low must have got into the house to wait on Maruseha, and do the proprieties. “ Thank you so much, Herr Doktor,” responds Maruseha, in her pretty, soft German, though he has spoken Russian; und she beams on him in a way that would turn the heart of the veriest dul lard. “ Not ‘Ilerr Doktor,* I pray you,** he protests; “ call me Don Carlos, us of old.’* I recollect with a foolish pang that Carl Rosen knew Maruseha when I did not. It was at Rosen’s I first met her, and straightway yielded up my heart to her. “ Since I have your permission, by all means, Don Carlos. Without it I should not have dared to take the liberty with ■o important a personage as you have grown.” She looks at him with a charm ing affectation of shyness. “ You look quite awfully respectable now, the ‘Herr Doktor* every inch.** Rosen blushes like a school boy. “ You have not forgotten how to tease, Maruseha,” he responds, stroking his sleek mustache with a sidelong self-con scions glance at her. She trips up to Frau Meyer and takes her arm with that winning familiarity, yet courteous grace, which Maruseha always adopts toward those of her sex whose position is inferior to her own; thus sweeping down with a sublime con tempt the paltry barrier that an arrogant society has raised between man and man. Maruseha has a profound reverence for humanity, and a strict regard to its rights. She is a socialist to her heart’s core. It is only with the base that she Is haughty. “ Come; you will take me to my room, dear inadame?” she says. The good woman’s countenance flushes with pleasure. I know her heart is go ing out to my sweet girl, whom she must love, ns ull creatures do. ruscha, when I have ended. “ V'ladimir, thou must return to him at once. Think how- lonely he must feel in the strange hotel and suffering such pain. It is thy bouuden duty to go to him now. “ That is thy opinion, Maruseha?” I respond, fixing on her a look of scathing reproach, which she refuses to see. “ Ba it so, I go." I rise aud begin hastily to button my coat across my chest. “ Good night, Maruseha; I will see thee in the morning, unless— unless my pa tient should require me." A burst of laughter from Rosen breaks in on the first act of my tragedy. “ What— already, spitfire!” he cries, nnd jumping up, comes round to me and pushes me back to my chair. “ Out of this house thou goest not until my re turn, which will be in a couple of hours. As I am obliged to go to my patients, whatever Maruseha may say, it is thy ‘bounden duty’ to stay and entertain uiy my guest.” “ But if he had given his word----- ’’ begins Maruseha, demurely. “ He will keep it,” interposes Rosen. "H e has promised to turn up at Hotel London some time between this and mid night, and he will do so. Meanwhile. Vlashu, if thou hast no objection, I will call in passing, and see how the English man does. I can also set his mind at ease about thee.” I mumble something to which he listens not, taking my affirmative as a matter of course, and leads llie way to the sitting room, where he places Maru- scha on the sofa. I stalk in the rear, feeling my position to be an undignified one. I still contem plate entering a hypocritical protpst against this arrangement of Rosen's. Surely I may be allowed to manage my own affairs? I have it on my lips to say, that all things considered, I think it ad visable that I should go, but It is too late. n e la calling to us a hearty adieu, nnd the door closes behind him. I am standing some paces from Ma- ruscha. She sits looking down at her fingers, whilst she nervously twists round nnd round the ring I gave her two years ago. I regard her silently with growing wrath, for she raises not her head nor makes any movement toward me. At length I speak. “ Maruseha, I can still go If it Is thy pads on the hips and a strap attached lady did evolve, though from the ol> wish.” A pause. “ Since thou wouldst to the legs, all designed to distribute servation of life rather than her ac- FA M O U S IN D IA N A TRAGEDY.

Their imitations o f the amelhyst and o f the vailous other colored gems were so true to nature that even now, after they have lain in the desert sands from 2,000 to 4.000 years, it takes an expert to distinguish the genuine arti cles from the spurious.
