FOR LOYE OF AN AOTEE8S.

BY "W. C. FULTOX.

"A gentleman to see you, sir, "Ilis name?"

UIIp

jr-cive none, sir said you knew I

him Aveli.'' "Show liim in." I threw aside the evening paper as I bade the office boy show the gentleman into our private apartment, with scarce a thought as to who this stranger might be. The opening of the door announced his entrance, when I beheld a mediumsized man with dark hair and eyes, heavy moustache and closely-cut whiskers, and a clear though somewhat pallid complexion. "Mr. Weldon, I believe?" "That is mv name," I responded, as much in the dark as to his identity as ever. "Why, Bob, don't you know me?" he asked, observing my puzzled expression. ".Ned Pierce, as I'm alive!" and I grabbed his outstretched hand with a vigor that made him wince. "Why, Ned, what under the heavens ever brought you to Paris? The very last person in the world I would have dreamed of seeing." "The channel steamer brought me to France, and I naturally drifted to the metropolis through the medium of the steam cars. But how long have you been in this city?" "Five years last December."

And then he told me how it was by the merest chance that he found me. Having some financial matters to attend to, he had inquired at the hotel for an American banking house, and had been given, among several others, the names of Howe Ralston and Weldon. Inquiry disclosed the fact that it was none other than his old friend Weldon of former years, and hence his seeking me out. Of course nothing would do but that he must accompany me home, and, as it was then nearly dinner-time, we started at once. "I have nothing elaborate to offer, Ned," I explained, "but my bachelor apartments are at least comfortable, and we can talk over old times and have a quiet smoke." "Not married yet. Weldon?" "No, and no prospect of it." "That's singular. I supposed, of course, you were married and settled down long ago."

Why of course?" "O, I don't know! No especial reason, only it was one of my air-castles to find you a Benedict with an interesting family."

Not any for me. I thank you! That is where your building was at fault. And you?"

The sudden turn I gave to the conversation seemed to disconcert him for a moment and he answered, with a lit-

TTeaTiacralways been such a jolly companion! Ever ready for a good time, and neither better nor worse than a great many young men. He had his faults, as who has not? And as for his good traits of character, they appear sometimes so unexpectedly as to seem all the better for the contrast. We were quite good friends years ago, and .1 came as near making a confidant of him as I ever did of any one. I was never very much given to over-intimate friendships with any body, like many .young men, and the majority of young ladies. On the contrary, while enjoying the society of others, I was always of a very reticent turn, rarely telling •any of my companions anything of my personal affairs. What goof would •ever come of it? If one has difficulties lying in his path, they are none the more easily overcome by pouring out •one's trials into the willing ear of a ready listener. And, on the other hand, if one has a bit of good fortune, how few people there are in the world who really care to hear it.

And it was six years since I had last seen Ned! Heigh-ho! How time does fly! It's no wonder I didn't recognize him. Six years ago I bade Ned Pierce good-bve on the deck of an outgoing Cunarder. Left an orphan with a large estate, he was naturally inclined to take life easy, and when I said farewell he was starting on his first trip across the water, while I turned back to my business in the crowded streets of the great city. During these six years I had lost all track of him, and indeed, had not thought of him for some time. I had been quite prosperous in my undertakings. and was now manager of the Paris branch of our banking-house, with a moderate fortune laid by for the traditional "rainv day."

As we arrived at our destination, Ned expressed a decided approval of mv litis —itortabie here." "Have you any engagement for this evening?" he asked as we arose from

the dinner-table. "Nothing imperative.", 7 "Then come with me." "Where?'' & "To the opera."

I had no objections, and at once .. agreed to it, although I cared enough to tions for the season. As usual, my inquire what was to be sung that even- olive-hued Dupres was there, as smiling "ig- and voluble as ever. During the even"lou asked me on our way home ing, which seemed more than usually what 1 had been doing with myself for £ay* I wandered into the almost desertthe last six years,'" he said. "Come

made her appearance than I was attracted by the strange behavior of my companion.

'ell- what of it? Let go my arm." I scrutinized closely this apparently •wonderful prima donuaf and, by the aid of my powerful opera-glasses, noted minutely her personal appearance. A tall, orraraful hlnnde. with laroa eves

iiKe two purpie pansies, ana ner own fluffy, golden-brown hair, almost dark, of the most beautiful shade I ever sa«. Her cream-white complexion was partially discernible through all the paint ajid powder, while her form was the embodiment of grace. She possessed a magnificent voice of great range and flexibility, and kept the entere audience as well as Ned, under bar »©*-\plete sway.

The dying woman had finally sank back gracefully amid the watery endearments, ana the curtain descended to slow music on the last act, when Ned leaned back in his chair with what sounded to me like a half-sigh, while an unnatural flush burned in his cheeks, and his eyes glowed as with an inward fire. Little had been said during the progress of the opera, and be was strangely taciturn all the way home, seeming entirely preoccupied with thoughts altogether foreign to the surroundings. "I beg your pardon, Weldon," he said, when we were once more in the house, and settled comfortably by the glowing grate for a quiet smoke. "I beg your pardon, but I fear I was poor company this evening."

Wnile I mentally agreed with him, protested to the contrary. "You want to hear my story? Very well. It is an o'er true tale, at all events, and may prove interesting."

After a few moments' silence, in which his thoughts seemed far away, he began: "You remember when lasc we parted?" "Yes, on the deck of the steamer, as you were starting for Europe." "Exactly. After landing, I went at once to London, where I remained for several months, doing nothing in particular, but passing tne time as a young man naturally would who had his pockets lined with gold and an abundance of leisure time on his hands. After an idle, aimless life in that old city, I crossed the channel and made my way to Paris. You remember, Weldon, when I became of age, my guardian turned the whole of my income over to me, unreservedly, while he still retained the management of the estate, at my

articular request. As I had never abroad, and, in fact, had not traveled touch in my own country. I naturally felt a desire to see the world." a •., v. "Quite natural, I'm sure." -,^4, "Well, I began to make the most of the two resources at my commandtime and money—and was soon living a gay and perhaps somewhat fast life in this, the best, or I might say the worst of French cities. At any rate, I found myself enjoying it all very well, and it was one ceaseless round of gayeties, with theatres succeeding balls, and these closely followed in their turn by the opera or something equally entertaining. I owed the most of my introductions into society to an artist friend of mine who, though already famous, and on the shining road to riches through the medium of his brush, lived somewhat of a Bohemian life among the multitude of artists studying under those various Parisian masters. Perhaps you knew this Arthur Pierrepont? He was formerly from New York f' a Paris the„ of which he was one of the leading spirits. It was their custom to hold receptions every two weeks at their elegant club house, which were attended by the members who were almost en tirely actors, actresses, journalists and musicians, together with their friends These were always most enjoyable affairs, and we went a number of times during the season. "It was atone of the parties or receptions, that I first met Jules Dupres. He was a typical Frenchman, in stature small and wiry, with coal-black hair and bushy eyebrows, and a heavy moustache, almost hiding his thin, treacherous lips. His eyes were small and deep-set, piercing in the intensity of their blackness, while they darted about so restlessly, and with such a sinister expression, that I instinctively felt a dislike to him before I had been fairly presented. This bad impression speedily wore off as I entered into conversation with him, when I found him one of the most accomplished talkers had ever met. There was no subject could touch upon but what he was perfectly at home, and could outtalk me twice over." "He must have been remarkable."

Ned smiled as he responded, "I see you do remember me, after all." "Yes: but go on." "As I was saying, this man was so entertaining that I soon forgot my halfformed prejudices, and was completely charmed by his manner. As time ran along, and we met at a number of social events, I became quite intimate with him. My artist friend noticed this, and did not appear to sanction it. 'I don't half like that black Frenchman of yours, Pierce,' he said to me one day, while I was watching him at work in his studio. 'Why?' 'O, I fancy he is not exactly a fair and square man. I may be wrong, but he don't impress me at all favorably.' "So thoroughly infatuated had I become with him that I laughed Pierrepout's fears to the winds. I was sure he was all right.

ucrcateu in mat IIIUUBIIJ "I fancied for the moment a slight embarrassment in his manner, but immediately dismissed the idea, reasoning in my own mind that there was nothing very remarkable in two gentlemen chancing to be traveling in the same direction. "The result was, the next morning found us in the same compartment, and booked for the same destination. 'Since leaving you last night,' he explained, 'I find I would have to go to St. Petersburg, after all, so concluded to go at once and be done with it.' '"After along and tiresome journey, we arrived at our destination, and under his guidance went to the Imperial Hotel, where we were accommodated. The weather was simply delightful for that part of the world, and we gave ourselves up entirely to pleasures and sightseeing. He had apparently forgotten his business, as lie never referred to it, while I, who had lost any mistrust I might have had, was only too glad to have him devote his time to amusements. A few evenings passed, and he proposed the theatre. It seems there was a very good French company just beginning a long season there, and were playing to crowded houses. We went, and it was there I first saw my fate."

Ned paused, and silence reigned for a few moments, while with a hard set expression on his face he gazed moodily at the glowing coals. "It is needless," he began, slowly, "to recount all my first impressions, and rave of personal charms. Suffice it to sav, I fell deeper and deeper in love wfth this angelic being behind the scarce less dazzling footlights, and my friend observed it, as we fairly haunted the theatre. 'You admire the lady?' he said, one night, as we were in our accustomed

'Yes I replied, a little miffed at his observance. 'TYes bienl I can give you an introduction.' 'What! you know her?' and I could have embraced him, so suddenly were my feelings changed. "'Yes.' *And will introduce me?' 'If you wish it,' and he darted a side glance at me from under his bushy eyebrows. "You may imagine how impatient I was after that. I could scarce wait till the end of the play, and little heeded the stage when Mile. Veranique (that was her professional name) was not on. "Dupres was as good as his word, and the next day took me around to her house, where she was living with her mother as chaperon. It was a magnificent place, piled full of all the luxuries fancy can suggest, or an unlimited out lay purchase. We found a thron visitors, as it was her reception day and it was with no little difficulty that we reached her presence, when the Frenchman introduced me to Adele Fabian, for she dropped her other name at the stage door. I wish you could have seen her! She was enough to turn the head"of an anchorite, with her deep blue eyes and dazzling smile. It is use less to dilate on this point. It enough to sav t.ho± aoquaVorcrrrcB with ner, But supposed, like me, he had been introduced by some mutual friend. "I became a frequent visitor at her house, and from that to a constant one In fact, I became her shadow. Where ever she went I was sure to be found near at hand, and the close of four months found me hopelessly entangled in the meshes of love, beyond all thoughts of extrication. It annoyed me to ilnd Dupres at her house so much, for it seemed as though I could never call but to find him there. He never appeared to be very deeply interested in her movements, but hung around with a familiarity that was intensely irritating to me. "I fancied my case was not altogeth er hopeless, and finally, when I learned it was the last week their engagement, made up my mind to know my fate, thinking it preferable to this maddening uncertainty." "You were certainly hard hit. mv boy," I said. j*

Ned smiled as he continued:. .: 4. 'u "It was a beautiful day that I called, determined to know the worst. Upon sending in my card, I was ushered into her presence, and by great good luck found her alone. I made a few incoherent remarks upon minor topics, and then boldly declared myself, urging my suit with all the fervor of a burning passion. A rosy blush mantled her :'air face for a moment, and then, dying away as suddenly as it came, was succeeded by a deadly pallor that o'erspread her entire features. 'I am deeply grieved at this, my friend,' she said, in her low, musical tones, 'and I would have spared you this confession!' And she turned her head to hide her face. 'But, my darling, I love you more than words can tell. My very existence hangs trembling on your lips.' "I seized her hand and pressed it to my lips, which seemed again to touch her heart, for with a sad look in her beautiful eyes dimmed with tears, and in a faltering voice, she said: 'It can never be, however much I may—' 'Then you do love me? O, my darling, nothing shall separate us!' and I drew her to me, seeing the lovelight beaming in her starry eyes. 'Ahl don't be too sure, my fine felIowl'sneered a familiar voice, as Dupres walked into the room. He had cen in the room adjoining, and through a partially-opened door had heard all. "Adele turned to the window, while I met his scowl with a steady face, fired by the devilish gleam in his wicked eye. 'So ho!' he said: 'this is the way I find my charming friend emploj^ed.' 'Scoundrel!' I cried 'leave this house!' 'I guess not,' he replied, with exasperating coolness, when he rolled and lit a cigarette. 'I trust monsieur will becalm. I have a little business to transact with our amiable American friend. Adele,' turning to her, 'will you be seated?' "She sank into a chair without a word, and seemed dazed at his villainous manner. 'I desire monsieur to give me his note of hand for twenty-five thousand francs. I will write the paper and he shall sign it.' He seated himself at the small table, and made preparations with all the sang-froid imaginable. 'But suppose the gentleman refus

"Then calming himself a little, he ea claimed, in less excited tones: I 'Perhaps you did not know th» yonder sits my wife? Do you hear My wifel' 'Jules Dupres, you lie I' cried Adefy, as she sprang to her feet and confron ed him indignantly. 'How dare yu tell such a preposterous story! Whit little forbearance I bad for you is go forever!' and her eyes flashed liked 1monds. "As she hurled this stinging rebuce at him, his swarthy face grew lijid with passion, and he made a step rward as if to grasp her arm. 'Villain!'I cried, and quick a a flash swung a chair over my head. le was quicker, however, and drawing a revolver as the chair descended on his head, fired point blank at my fice. With a sickening crash the chair felled him as one dead, while the billet clipped off a lock of my hair, barely grazing the skin. He lay unconscious. Securing his weapon, I raised him to the couch, and saw he would be all right in a few minutes. 'Is thig true?' I hoarsely whispered, holding Adele at arm's length. 'No, no! Believe anything rather than that!' She wrung her hands in anguish. 'Leave me for the present, I beg, nay, I implore you, and to-morrow I will explain all!" "What could I do under tho circumstances but comply with her request? As I passed out of the house I told one of the servants to go to his mistress's room, thinking she might need some one near at hand. "Those were the longest hours of agony I ever endured, waiting till I might call the next day. It came at last, and to my eager inquiry at the door of Adele's house, the servant responded that mademoiselle and her mother had taken their departure early that morning. Impossible! I groaned in my anguish, unconscious of my surroundings. Then it was all too true!

Was there no message left—no letter? "Yes, there was. The letter was handed me and with feverish anxiety I tore it open and devoured its few hurried lines which were far from satisfactory. Dupres was not her husband at all, but her affianced from early childhood by t.V" Toshes of her parents, and had concede.I that mode of extorting money. She had now broken it off, ana considering herself disgraced, had left us forever. It was useless, she said, to try to follow her. "I was as one demented for days, when I finally recovered enough to begin the search. I have looked continually ever since in every city in Europe. She had changed her name, commenced an operatic career, and eluded me at every turn. It was only two days ago that I found her singing here in Pans. I have not yet been able to see her, but am determined to have an interview at the earliest possible moment. I understand Dupres is in the city, though he dare not apprcach her. If I meet him, let him beware!"

Ned firusiip.ci—ja—deep silence "Come, cheer up, old fellow! It will all turn out right!" "I hope it will," was the response, as he bade me good-night.

Two days elapsed and Ned did not p.0™® around. The morning of the third day, as I was reading the paper over my breakfast-table, the following notice caught my eye: "A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.—The police report the finding of a man bearing the name of Jules Dupres, in an almost dying condition, at the northern confines of the city, from the effects of a sword-thrust through the left side. Two rapiers were found on tho ground, and the natural supposition is a fatal duel. I he man was removed to the hospital, where, on recovering consciousness, he gasped, O, my side—Pierce—revenge!' and some incoherent remarks. Whether he meant that the sword pierced his side, or that his adversary was named mif01 been determined."
