Her Rival.

♦' A Young lady was sauntering along tho quay, by the side of the Sciue, pausing at every one ot the shelves of old books that lined tho parapets, and now and then ask ing the price of some moth-eaten, battered volume from the equally moth-eaten and battered proprietor, meditatlug over his pipe under tho budding trees. She was very prettily and very daintily dreased, but her face and carriage showed so much quiet resolu tion and self-reliance that the boldest idler of the boulevards would have been deterred from annoying her even in cynical Paris and on tho very boundary of the Latin Quarter. She was deep in a quaint little copy of La Bruyere, some sixty years old, which was nfl'cred at hnlf a franc, when she hoard a burst of light laughter not far from hor ear, so strangely mingled of sweetness and a kind of haunting mockery that she involuntarily raised her eyes. Approaching her were a young man and a girl, perhaps two or three years older than herself, ami as near the perfection of physical beauty as it was pos-iblo fora ,vomau to be, Miss Do Forest acknowledged tn herself *ith a strange pang. She had a profusion of pale chestnut hair, a skin of lilicsand roses, larpo liquid eyca, a perfectly developed figure, ard an undulating grace of motion which did not belong to the streets of Paris. She was per fectly well dressed ; butwhileMissDcForrcst m her own toiletdisplayed the happy medium between "chic " auddignity characteristic of the •'demoiselledumeilleurmondo" of what ever nationality, the eirl who suddenly con fronted her with an impertinent glance had more Qf the quality of chic than was strictly desirable. " She ir not a lndy," thought Miss De Forest; "a grisette, probably,"and the jealous pane deepened, for the man accompanying this girl—the man who raised his hat without looking at her, while a faint color overspread his handsome features and clear skin—was tho man of all others to Amy de Forest. She had loved ArthurDuucan for more than a year, had watched the ebb and flow of his genius, had encouraged him to now effort in bis despondent hours, and shared with him the pleasure of his suc cesses. There had grown up between them a comradeship which on her side had ripened mto something deeper, and on his had led to the thousand subtle marks of preference | that mean nothing or anything. And what a uIU er men meant nothing, seemed in Arthur Duncan to mean everything, so much so that Amy de Forest, clever, self-possessed girl as she was, had come to believe in the absolute predominance in the echeme of her future life of this one figure. Only yester day evening they had sat long together in the embrasure of the wide window that looked upon the gardens of the Luxem bourg while the Jlamps sprang into light through the dusk ; and when he went away, pleading an engagement in a friend's studio he had litted her hand to his lips in the nark, ness and called her his better angel. The girl bit her lips and opened the La Bruyere aeain—the bitter, healthy draught of the old wit's cynicism acted upon her as a^ tonic aud kept back the starting tears. The lives of her men-friends outside of her mother's drawing-room did not concern her she thought; but it was hard that Arthur,' with his talk of aspiration toward an ideal and the elevation of art above sordid realism should find his inspiration in the soul of a grisettc. And yet she could not blame him • the gir) was beautiful—like a white ronnded water-lily with dewy petals. Perhaps if she herself, were a man . She closed the book abruptly and paid the old" bouquinisto "forit and then turned up a long avenue that leads past the Pantheon to tho gardens of the Lux embourg. She liked those gardens better than the stately alleys of the Tnileries. Ihcro was more of the ilavour of old, Paris.

bout them before the Second Empire—the 'aria of De Musset and Balzac. She liked lie threadbare students with their books, he knots of sowing-girls, the bourgcoise lothcrs and nurses, with the children play :ig around them ; the old men, with red rib ons in the buttonholes of their rusty bioad loth coats. The sprint? wind swept down the avenues, cented with flower-odors from the market fSt Hulpice. MissDe Forest wandered on d where thegreat fountain stands, halfdricd, pith the water shallow over the rockwork of ts basin, and green, wet beards dripping ibout the Tritons and Neptunes, and ivy hrowing its arms out from the crevices of heir shapes, and, overhead, new leafing rees casting a tender twilight upon the [uiefc place. The voices of children lame from the main avenue. Miss De forest seated herself on the edge of the basin tnd looked into the shallow water, yellow niththe dead leaves in its bed. The re lection of her own face came back to her 'ramedin the shadow-boughs. There had been tithes tthon Hi bright blue eyes and delicate outlines had seemed ;o her to lill all the requirements of beauty, but now, darkened by the decaying leaves xnd with the memory of the splendid jreature she had just seen rising before her, it seemed quite impossible that auy man could ever regard her as beautiful. " Pure physical beauty is the best worth having," she thought with a little sigh. And then she thought many things that a girl might think under the circumstances, but that poets set down only in allegory—the world-old problem of the two women strug gling for authority over the soul of the one man, as old as history and legend—Tann hauser bound in the chains of Venus ■while his chaste Elizabeth awaited his return. All men solve it for themselves, and all women in one way or another bido the issue of it. Miss De Forest fell to studying her daintily-gloved little hands as they lay on her lap, and especially where last night Arthur Duncan's lips had rested. A shadow came between herself and the sunlight beyond the trees, and, glancing up, she say before her the man she loved. She looked up at him with a smile slightly touched with the cynicism learned from the small book in her lap. " VVhat charming weather, is it not? The air is full of spring souuds to-day. I have been walking a Ion? distance," "Alone, MissDe Forest?" " Yes ; why not 1 1 much prefer walking alone unless 1 hate a very agreeable com panion, and you know I am not a 'demoi selle fraugais'e' to be bound by ' les conven ances.' " Were these two people, talking the sraallestof small talk, the twowhohadp»rted the night before with tbe look in their meot ing eyes that makes spccch^useless ? A shadowhadcomebetween them —the shadow of a woman with limpid eyes aad a shape like a pictured goddess, Thero was a moment's silence. A bird snug in the tree overhead, a leaf whirled down into the tran slucent water, the drops trickled down from the preen beard ot the water-god. '' When will you come and see my picture, aa you promised ?" '• Whenever mamma will go with me. You know I cannot go to your studio alone." There was a distant, haughty ring in her voice that Arthur Duncan had never heard before. "I am going home," she said rising. " I am tired-I have walked too for. Will you not come in this evoning V "Xhiiiiks : I am sorry, but I have made an engagement whicli I can scarcely break." "Ah!" " May I taka you to your door 1 The streets are full of btudouti and all kinds of pcoplf." " Thanks : I have no fear. Ido not think any one will trouble me." slitting that evening in the tender cpring twilight among tho flowers of the balcony high above the street, with a boy-artist on a low stool at her feet, looking up in as ort of adoration at the cloud of golden hair that was like a halo above her white gown. Amy de Forest asked her young page if he had seen Arthur Duncan of late. "No one sees much of him now. Hi's engaged, the fellows lay, in some sort of frightful love affair with a Spanish girl who dances at the Bullier. She posed for the picture he has just iinisbed. The fellows say it's an awfully clever thing—sure to get in the Salon next year, lie calls it' The Goiidess of Morning.' " Yoc, that was the name he had told her. So it was her rival she met yesterday—a paid dancer at a students' ball ! But, certainly, Arthur Duncan's artistic instincts were not at fault, for the girl was nn ideal incarnate of morning dew and rosy cloud and vaporous sunlight. It gave her pleasure, despite her humiliation, to realize the trutli and poetry of his conception. "You have never been to th« Bullier, of ciursfi, Miss De Forest? But a grfatmany Amcricttnjgirls do go—under veil?, of course, and well protected." "I confess I have always wished to go. I've no doubt, if I were a man, I should be a very dissipated one." " For a little while, perhaps," said the wise young man at her feet ; but you would soon get tired of it—itissofrichtfully monoto nous, even iv Paris. But if Mrs Dc Forest would go, a dozen of us would form a bat talion of escort for you." "Does this girldance there to-night?'1 ■ " Yes ; three times a week, and dances divinely." " What is her name?" " Augustine. These waifs of Paris never have any surname." " I should like to see her." The lamps were lighted, more artiste came in, and the conversation turned on Arthur Duncan's picture, which those who had seen it pronouueed worthy of Lefebre)himself. " MrsDeForest," said the boy artist, Guy Ralnsford, " Miss De Forest has just con tided to mo an overwhelming desire to see the ball at the Bullier. Won't you gratify her and come to-night ? No one will recog nise you under your Teile, and Here are eight strong men roady to protect you. We are all going. Think of all the good American folk—clergymen and deacon?—who go te the Mabille, and certainly this is no worse." Mrs De Forest demurred a little, but finally consented. She had peculiar theories of education which had perhaps given Amy the truthful healthy outlook upon life which she possessed in a remarkable degree for so young a woman. If she had none of the illusions that dwarf the mental vision of more romantic girl's, she had purn and generous instincts, funbiased by fear or pre judice. What corruption could there be in a tawdry students' ball for a girl who had weighed the problems of life in her otrn mind and found tho balance in favour of law and order ? It was a noisy and mobloy scene they en couutered—gaudy and common of necessity —but with some artistic quality in its fiber, born of the city and ftslpeople. ■ Guy Rains ford felc Miss De Forest shrink as Bhe clung to his arm. " What is the matter, Miss De Foreat ? Are you afraid ?" "No; only sorry—only sorry for there poor people. I don't think I have a tasto for dissipation, after all, Mr Kainsford." " I thought tho sight of a little would cure you. It women in general could see something of life they would soon lose that morbid admiration for fastness which troubles many of tliem. Ah, there is Augus tine, dancing ; she is quite different from the rest." The party forced itt way through the crowd to within a few feet of its edge. In the space left for the dancers stood a shapely girl, with her fair chestnut hair rolled high above and about her head, her perfect arms and shoulders bared and adorned with the sequins of the Palais Royal, a scarlet bodice and a short skirt of yellow satin flounced with black lace There was a touch of paint on her lashes and an artificial depth of colour on her lovely cheek. The castanets rattled as she curved her arms above her head and twinkled her light feet, swaying her lithe body to and fro, till with her large, pale head she looked like tbe round lily-cup swaying on the water's surface, to which Miss De Forest had that morning compared her. In the front of the crowd stood Arthur Duncan, toweriug head and shoulders above his neighbours, his handsome tace aglow, bis eyes brilliant with rxcitemrnt and eagerly following every curve of the dancer's motion. " He has forgotton that I exist," thought Amy de Lorest, bitterly, and she trembled from head to foot. "Take me home, Mr Bainsford. Speak to Mamma, please—the air here is stifling. lam sorry to take you away, but I do not feel able to stand." Guy Kainsford took Mrs De Forest and her daughter home and then returned to the ball. One of the other men told him that Arthur Duncan looked strangely troubled when he was informed that Miss De Forest had pone away ill with tho atmosphere of the pi ace. When the dance was over Arthur stole away to the door of the dancer's drassinc room, and waited to take her home to her rooms, high up in one of tho old houses frowned upou by the Sorbonne. The exercise and the applause of the crowd had heightened her beauty and made her absolutely dazzling iv her radiant health and youth. Arthur, looking upon her as she sat over her supper drinking the red wine, mixing her salad with the hearty abandon of the peasant nature she had brought from tho Pyrenees, felt strangely the pathos of tho stern necessity which could cast this perfect creature, this type ot the world's youth and morning under the iron wheels of the great Parisian

And jet I' it wan always of Amy that he dad ! thought while he worked,' aWg ' her voice that sounded in hi) ear ' spurring him on to effort and snoceos: He passed her house and saw a gleam of vhite in the moonlight among the flowers of her balcony. He would go in and tell her all. He found her alone, sitting on a:Joi chair among the pansies and heliotrope and early roses. They talked upon indifferent subjects, more and more remote from the one nearest their hearts. At length Arthur said, " I heard you were at the Bullier luj evening, Mits De Forest." .-, "Yea. Mr Rainstord persuadedmanmu to go, I waa eager to see the original if your picture. She ia certainly very b«w. tiful. It was the tame person I site yon with yesterday morning, I think." " Yes ; she has left the QuartierMdpme no one knows whither. She—Amy^tlytm. put an end to all my doubts and faltering t SVill you let me tell you that I love youl Will you be my wife as you have ahrijs been my better angel?" "I bad fancied, indeed I had been told, that you were very much in love with your model. You can scarcely love two women at once." ' ' " She has gone forjever." " And lam the "pis aller ?" Thanks: Amy, I never loved ncr—it waa simply that she was the ideal of my picture, and thejtwo were eoas onein my mind that 1 could not separate them. You yourself are artist enough to understand that. And Iliad no meau3 of knowing that you loved me. Only A ugustlno herself revealed it to me." And then lie read her those portions of the dancer's note that concerned herself. Amy pondered long over it. She did not"',:.; believe the dancer's words that she did iiOt care for Arthur, that she was tired of the Quartier. She had seen those lovely eyej fill with light when they fell upon him in the dance-rhythm. And afterwards she heard, in some careless studio-talk, that "the Spanish girl had been mad about Duncan." It was strange to her to think that the white flower of self-sacrifice could aud and bloom in the soul of a paid dancer bt a student's ball. She forgave him for she loved him, and if . she had been a man herself she 'doubled if her life would have been blameless', Andf the shadow of the Spanish dancer passed jrat from their lives, A year passed, Arthnr's picture had been hung on the line in the Salon, and lie lad often er than his wife knew sauntered Jjy,; wondering if the Spanish girl would notfei of its beinp; there and come.to look at her own beauty. She had never been heaidof in the Quartier t ince she left it. More than one offer had been made for the " Goddesi of Morning," but Amy would not $ itj ■ go—it had been her weddine gift from ha ' husband. ; Spring has come again. The Luxem bourg gardens are filled as before with (jay crowds—the streets of Paris were beautiful ' with flowers. One morning a man in M 1 official dress brought a folded Da ' Arthur as ho worked in his studio. On it 1 was written : " A Spanish woman, very ill 1 in the hospital, begs to see M.J"le p ointre" Duncan, Will Monsieur have the cobijiUl ; sance to come to the poor soul ?"' Ho wrote 1 a note to his wife, telling her of the circum* stances, and went across Paris will) the 1 messenger, stopping only a moment for a ' few white water-lilies that a boy thriiat in< ! to his hand in the market. i ■ They showed him into a ward where ' womeu lay ill of consumption in all its ' stages, and in a cot near the window whew the spring sunlight streamed over her, j* found Augustine, still lovely withjhs 1 lovlinees of approaching spirithood, but no longer the joyous goddess of inorniiig; JOT a pale, fragile, large-eyed womau, wlwsb 1 life was almost ended. "I knew you would come—you «wo always good. I wanted to see you before I died. 1 loved yon when I left you, biod : ami. I would have died for you; but your love was not tor me—a model—a P* 1* dancer. I was wild in dissipation afterl lelt the Quartier. I tried hardto kill my self and I have succeeded. Withniyfe> sign of illness came desertion aud povef. " The day I was brought here I had gons to see your picture, and I fell down before He had laid the water-lilies within re# of her thin lingers ; she look them up ana caressed the lleshy leaves. " They are like tho?e I used to gather in ir.y childhood in a little village amoug Uf B mountains. I wish 1 had never come to Paris. But then I should rover liavcmet you. Hie is beautiful and good, your yomig wife, but she cannot love you as I di" "Tieus"! lam better. Perhaps Ii»»T live—my hair has not changed ; you MCd to kiss it once, kiss it now, only once—ws - will notcaie—she has had you for a whole year, and I have hungered and thirfctcoior one touch of your hand." . There was a rustle of drapery hi the pJ n between the beds, and Amy stood suddenly by her husband's side in her black dress aa» her sweet young matronhood, with flower?, violets, and heliotropes and pale roses 1B her hands. The sick woman raised &<*• "You here—his wife I" „ .i "It was you who gave him to me, saw Amy in the soft low notes that the yew» love had brought into her voice. . „ " You were jealous of me once, niadauc, said thedancer.

"Among the flowers—yes, in my ova country—up in the mountains where,u» lilies grow in the streams.

Suddenly she cnea, " I am choking I Some water 1 My medi cine !" and the life stream rose to net lip?. , i ArtharDuncan caughtlher in hisarnisani Amy knelt by the poor bed.
