Then came the usual pause and raking of the sawdust in the eir- cle, which the audience watched with a solemn interest, as though it were a mighty important part of the evening's entertain- ment. The second half of the amusements commenced with the great attraction of the establishment, the skillful riding of a little girl, daughter of one of the proprietors. Very. pretty and graceful she appeared, as the 1ing master led her in, a petite fairy like creature with golden hair hanging in curls tothe waist, and her white drese float- ing around her like a eloud. 1na moment she was i and ing round the circle, her little arms waving and the gar= light gleaming on her grace(ul head, mak- ing 1t look as if surrounded by a golden halo. Not a leap did she miss, not a false step did she make in her rapid course, and the applause was loud and long as she sprang down at the end of the act. . ¢ Capital, capital,' exclaimed my hus- band, applauding with the rest, while little, Marion clapped her hands in childish glee.

And indeed I felt strangely impelled to remain, I -eould not tell why, though 1 still shook with the same strange mixture of cold und fear ; I tried to think of what 1 was seeing, and that only, but I felt chilled and gloomy. "Presently my husband spoke to me again. Hi ¢ Kate." ¢ Well? I was watching the autigs of the two clowns in the ring, and4rying to fancy I was enjoying their performance. ¢ Who is that man staiing at you ?* ¢« What man ?' ¢ That "one there, mamma,' said the child ; I have been watching him so. long. 1 followed the direction of her eyes and finger, and looked. The vacant space wus no longer vacant, and with an exclamation of surprise and delight, I then rose from my seal. ¢ Who is it 2 asked my husband. ¢ Harry, I replied--¢ my counsin Harry. I wonder how he came here ? «1 thought he looked as if he knew you; ask him to come here ; there 1s plenty of room." He did not khow Hurry ; they had never met, but-he knew how dear he was to me. We had been brought up together like bro- ther and sister, aud had looked upon each other as such till circumstances separated us and he was sent abroad.

There had been some money trans= actions between Harry and myself; I was his ilebtor to a small amotint--so small as 10 be hardly worth mentioning, but for what followed. I heard of him once or twice, but always that lie was no better ; but our movements were uncertain, and our corres- pondence flagged. I had no news of him for a month when I reached Edinburgh, but I expected to see him in the course of a week or two. It was a delightful surprise 10 'meet him thus vnexpectedly, and well enough to be in a place of public amuse ments. He was looking intently, and as 1 thought somewhat sadly at me, not re- garding the performance in the least, but gazing straight across to where we sat, with a wistlul look in his merry eyes that troub- led me somehow. He seemed thinner, and his hands, one of which lay idly en the front of the box, were very white and deli- cate looking. Tdo not know what made 'me note his appearance so particularly as I did--his fair hair with a wavy inclination to curl which he had a habit of throwing oft his forehead by a peculiar toss of the head (like a young man shakmg his mane, as his father used to say,) his regular features a Ittle drawn it seemed, as if with some suf- fering or other ; the diamond ning he was roud of wearing, from which the clusters of light sent out shimmering jets as the hand moved now and then ; his drese, quizt and gentlemanly as it always was ; the cu- riously carved handle of an umbrella, one of the souvenirs of his stay at Rome, all seemed to strike me with a strange force as | wiited for the pause iu the performance 1 nodded across the space, and smiled a joyful welcome, but lie took no heed ; he made no sign that he was aware of my presence, save the honest mournfu] gaze he had fixed on me from the tirst. . : « Go now,' wy hugbandsaid, as the act conoluded, ¢ 1 will come with you." We made our way round, and sought ad- mission 10 the box where he sat. ¢ Only room for one, air," said the box= keeper, looking at vs, wondering no doubt al our return. ¢« There isn't room for any one," I said ¢ we want to speak 10 a gentlemen, the one who came in last in the front row." ¢ Only one gentleman in the font row,' he replied. - » "0 yor, there are two ; only one has jost come in.' ¢« Not to this box,' replied the man ; cit must be the next ; no one has either gone out or come in since Mlle.

The man was right ; the place was va- cant --there sat the elderly couple nthe front seat, the people behind them the same who had been there all thegvening, atl beside the lady the empty place where not five minttes before } had seen ny. cousin sitting. ¢ He must have gone out,' I said, he will come back again; I'm sure he saw me here 2?

I checked the angry reply I saw rising to his lips, and again asked the man to open the door. He did so, grumbling audibly, and I entered again to see an emply seal. The lady who sai in the seat said: "Have you not made some mistake ?, she said, "and taken me for an acquaint- ance. [saw you nodding to me two or three times to-night." Not to you," I replied but to the gentle- man who sat there." "The gentleman who sat there,' she re- peated with a puzzled expression of face. 'Yes he is arelaton of mine; I am dis- appointed; he is gone." "Gone !" she said. «My dear ycung lady, there has been no one here ; that seat has nol been occupied at all." Ii was my turn to stare now, for I" fully thought she was laboring under rome delu- sion, but the otier occupants corroberated her statement, and I was fain to think we had all been mistaken someliow and go back to my place. «Its very odd," my husband remaiked, «I am sure | saw some one there."

Don't look so frightened, Kate, it is some mistake, we will catch him coming out ; the padorm- ance is nearly over." Daring the last act of horsemanship we left our reals determined to solve th: great myetery, if possible, and stationed onrselves in the lobby opposite the door of the byx in which we lad seen my cousin, assuring ourselves that he dad not left before we moved. He did not come out, however, no one but those we had seen passed out the door. Again we spoke to the lady and gentleman by whose. Tarry had been 50 long ; they weie at a loss™to understand our persistent assertions that the seat had been filled during the evening, and again assured us there had been no one there. "It was entirely vacant," said the lady, 'for a feeling, I eannot really account for his kept him en roching on it, as one is apt to do sometimes on an empty place. I have felt allthe evening as if I could not sit there. It was as;much a mystery as ever, and'we went away completely puzzled. Neither of us had the elightest tinge of superstition about us, and we looked upon the whole af- fairs as a mistake in rome way or another. Arrive! at our lodgings, we found a letter for my husband from Londen, requesting us to attend to some business in Glasgow before returning, so that our journey was put ofl for a few days. When we did start, an un- usually rough passage fell to our lot, and | was so exhausted when we arrived in town, that we put up at the nearest hotel for the night, and saw no one till the next day. My sister had arranged our house for us, and was to be there to reeeive us. I was surpnsed to find her pate and harrassed, and dressed 1n new morning. She apologised for things not being in order by saying she had had a sad time for the last week, and a harrassing journey. 1 was completely puz- zled. ¢ Time ! journey » I said. ¢ What do you 'mean 7' ¢ Surely my letter 'was clear enough,' she said. «I have have been to Te----, you know." «1 received no letter,' I replied. did you write?" | ¢« On Wednesday.' ¢ And we left on Thuraday, too early to have it.

My sister was summoned to see him, and nursed hin to the last.
