The old actor’s daughter sat silent and
thoughtful for:»time. She was revolv-
to, in her mind scenes and incidents of
w hich her father was entirely ignorant
Let ns describe them.
It was a jieriod three months previous
to the foregoing conversation. The
mother had just been laid in the cold
pure, and the father was, as now, un-
Jhle to leave his room. The wolf was
hovering around their door, .and Marie,
timid in action, but bravWin heart, had
jemlved to assist the parent she loved so
dearly.
It was a bitter winters evening when
jhe left her home for the pnrpoee. The
riipp blast cut her to the very heart, as
shed.ow her thin mantle around her.
But she had read in the papers that girls
wer> . wanted for the ballet at one of the
theaters. They were to apply at the
rtage door that morning, but she had
been unable to leave her father’s aide at
that time. She feared she would be too
Ute; still she could but try.
On reaching the stage door her heart
almost failed her; but their home again

iccost the doorkeeper.

••Better wait till tomorrow.'
-I tried to come today, sir. Hut could
not."
"Indeed! Oh, here he comes; you can
apply to him now."
That functionary happened to be pass
ing, and hearing the words understood
their import at once. He turned a
marching look upon the poor girl, and
was about to pass on. But he caught
light of her face in'the gaslight, and said:
“Not bad looking if she is in rags. So
you want an engagement ehf
"Yes, sir, if you please,” replied Marie.
"To play Lady Macbeth, I suppose?’
“No, sir; for the ballet.”
"Oh! Ever been on the stage before?”
'•Only as a child, sir.*
“Ob, only as a child I Do you sing?”
"Yes, sir—very well."
“Very well, so you think; I might not.
Do you „ nee?"
"Yes, sir. Father was an actor, and
he says I dance very weU."
"Oh, then yon can come tomorrow
and try it."
“1 will be here, sir."
"Bring your props with you."
Poor Marie hesitated; and the mana
ger, observing this, said: “Oh, perhaps
yon don't know what I mean by props.
Well, they are your feathers, jewels,
ribbons, laces, tights, slippers, gloves,
ud so on. Ws only furnish the body of
your dress.
The poor girl still hesitated, when the
manager asked again. “Can’t yon fur
nish your own props?*’
“I fear not at first, sir," was the timid
reply.
"Then we don’t want you.'
The manager turned away, and Marie
daggered toward the door, half blinded
vith grief and disappointment. But ere
•he had passed it a gentle hand -was laid
npou her shoulder, and a sweet voice
exclaimed, “My dear child, come and
*ee me tomorrow as early as possible.
Sere is my address." Uu i U
Marie viewed the extended card and
turned her eyee toward the speaker. She
*as a brilliant creature, and the poor
girl tried to stammer forth a reply, but
could not. She left the theater and took
her way homeward. She could not help
thinking of the beautiful lady and her
magnificent dress, sparkling with jewels.
What could she want with her?
Even bright picture* of the future rose
before her vision, and these dulled the
•hatpnees of her grief at the disappoint-
ment she had met with. She did not
tell her father what, she jiad done, or
that she hud an engagement to mee* one
the great ladies. the tbsater.
On the next day Marie culled at the

hand in her own for u moment, and
tear drops fell upon it. ’Then she said:
“Father, the darkest time is just be
fore the dawn. Cheer up. I will re
turn in a few hours, and tomorrow we
will be richer than we are today."
The daughter left that wretched home.
But no sooner had she taken her depar
ture than her father began to think of
her last words. They were strange.
What could they mean? What act did
Marie contemplate?
At first a suspicion swept across his
mind-vague—but gradually assuming
form. But as the thought pressed upon
his brain it began to madden him, and
for hours he tossed upon his bed of pain,
calling for hiB child, praying for her
safe return. ' . '*
Midnight came and passed, and still
Marie came not Several times had the
old actor resolved to arise and go in
search of her, but lie had not strength to
do so, and as often would fall back upon
his pillow, groaning in the agony of his
soul. ~
Daylight same and still Marie had not
arrived. But just as the sun began to
throw its golden rays over the city, a
carriage was heard to drive up before the
actor’s house. He listened. He heard a
footfall upon the stairs and he recogniz
ed the footstep.
In a moment after Marie burst into
the room. She rushed to her father’s
ride and, throwing her arms around him.
she wept
The old man did the same; but he ob

rich material and. putting her away, he
'contemplated her for a moment with a
mournful expression. Then he said in a

the excitement that followed the discov-
sries of silver in Yucatan in 1877. The
Indians had been bringing down small
quantities of horn silver for some time
arid selling it at Merida. Finally, one of
the half breed merchants of that town
got an Indian drunk and induced him to
tell where they obtained the silver. They
say" it was'one of the mines from which
the Aztecs, or whatever race it was that
built the cities, the ruins of which cover
so many miles in that country, used to
get the silver for their temples. At all
events, the merchant came back with
two burros laden with almost pure sil
ver. He said that there was silver
enough in sight at the mine to load a
fleet of steamers. He told in a general
way where the treasure mountain was,
and started out with a pack train for
more. One of his mules strayed back
nearly a month later, but that was all
that was ever heard of him.
