And all night long the same quiet moon shone on a broken-uearted woman, ag she paced her leudid chamber with clasped hands and tear- less eyes, struggiing with her uitter sorrow and despair, a a stern silence far more terrible to see than the wildest, saddest tears a woman ever shed, uM. ‘The noonday sunlight, shining through crimson curtains, cast a rosy glow on the pale cheek of the painter Claude, as with a look of troubled joy he ‘stood before his easel, from which Theresa's face T cannot give these lips the proud, bright smile she wears, and yet if I had never looked on her this Would’ seem “most beautiful to me,” he mur- mured, balf aloud, a3 he bent nearer still to gaze upon bis lovely work, It Is mos: beautiful, dear Claude,” echoed a low Yolce at his side; and, turning with a guiliy start, he met the dark eyes of Beatrice bent on him with a strange searching look, before which his own gaze fel ‘Why have you never let me see this lovely face fore?

At length the opera ended, the priestess’ doom Was spoken, the futal veil was folded around her, ‘and With her wild, sad farewell lingering on te air she was borne away and ail was over; but soon, amid the welcoming shouts of those who had sat Speil-vound by her power, she reappeared, no i zor ale cea sorrow-stricken, but radiant with al it in youthful joy at joveliness, as with folded Lands she bowed before the admir- ing throng, who carpeted her path with flowers and vented their delight in joyful cries and echo- ing applause, sl nly there was a pause, and a deep stillness fell om the excited multitude as every eye turned trom the lovely singer to a fairer, stranger sight. ‘The curtains were thrown wide apart, and the stately form of Beatrice stood proudly forth, glit- tering with a strange magnificence; jewels Sparkeled on her velvet robe, aud suone like stars im her dark hair; a deep changing color glowed upon her cheek, and a wild brilliance flashed in her dark eyes. they glanced rapidiy about the ‘upturned faces looking into ners, “Look up, look up, ‘Theresa, and receive the crown!” cried a distant voice that she weil knew, aud ufuing her wondering eyes, the lovely singer shudder as she met the dark glance that flashed Upon her from the haggard face of the rival she had wronged, and in that glance each read the other's meaning; and while Theresa bowed her Read in shame dnd fear, Beatrice, with a sudden smile, raised her white arms high above her Read, and stood a moment gracetuly holding. & flower crown, while her eye sought out some dis- tant object; then the garland fei/, and high above thy tumultuous applause that shook the walls soared tne death-shriek of Tueresa, and Beatrice pointing to her as she lay amid the flowery, with the fron crown concealed among the rozes On her biood-stained hair, cried in a voice tuat never ceased to echo in one guilty hearer’s eat “You bade me crown her, Claude; see, 1 have done it! better to die crushed with st: “s, than live to be ‘What you lave rendered me;” ana with a;wild, fear- ful laugh she vanished from the sight df the hor- Tor-stricken crowd, Years passed away, and in a lonely convent lived and died a sad, gray-haired man, worn and wasted With remorse; ‘and in quiet home for tue lusane welt a beautiful, pale woman, who constantly wove garlands, and, like a swan, died singing mournfuily, and these were BzaTaicg and CLaupE. be sail; ere we xo We trust our all to thee ‘The sea is mighty, and our boats are small.
