Almost shnuitaneously I had reache<i my

There were, probably,
that many of us at that time, although I
never had r whole — l opportunity to verify the
local census. One afternoon, as I stood at
the portal of the hospitable 1 English club, I
somewhat idiotically trie* to count the jkx>-
ple going back back and and forth, crossing ami re-
crossing the Plaza Coustitucion; but I soon
grew weary of the monotonous tramp and
aim swinging, bowing and ogling, the car¬
riage sweep sweep and street car ru.di. Bo, resign-
edly, I faced about, went deliberately * up
stairs, and gossiped with ■ * gen enial brot her
cosmojx)lites who had been born before that
quarter of the world was quite ready for
them.
I could not speak the every day langua age
mporary fellow citizens; tizei yet friends
were plentiful, skies fair, the society charnl-
ing, and December’s pulse beat warmly at
eighty degrees or thereabouts.
The previous month, and, in fact, the last
week in it, found me loitering at the Brazil¬
ian capital. There I had awaited the arrival
of a steamer comrade. His mercantile en¬
gagements detained him at Pernambuco and
Bahia. Thus lie escaped a genuine howling,
sail splitting pampero, which had given me a
toss and tumble idea of what a,hard blow
off shore usually is in the vicinity of Cabw
Frio.
AVhen we were again together, I quickly
detected a change in George >rge Hamilton. Ho
seemed preoccup pi eoccupied- i:iiu mind far removed
from either bm si siness or pleasure. 1 had
marked out a :i grand grati plat 11 for sight seeing in
his company, but he took little no appar¬
ent interest i.i the detailed progi*arunu*. Ti-
juca, the magnifleent, faded to lure him, and
Pao Assucar and lofty Porcovado shared
with the renowned Jurdin .rdin Botanico and its
avenue of palms a neglect that was surpris¬
ing. On the voyage out from New York he
had talked so constantly of these freaks and
wonders of tropical nature that I was now
completely nonplussed by his indifference.
During his youth lie had spent several years
in the Atlantic provinces of Brazil. His
father had been one of the first and most
successful railway contractors in that opu¬
lent empire. Besides having a thorough ac¬
quaintance with the coast cities of South
Atncilxf*, iiv/ mm vi- rirn.irgue.se or
Spanish more fluently than George Hamil¬
ton. As I had depended upon his oft re¬
peated voluntary promise to be my guide in
and around Rio, the disappointment was not
hid from him.
Aboard ship our likings had been mutual.
Hour after hour we gazed from the steamer's
deck at the marvelous luxuriance of eternal
summer lands. Threading its way between

had, in succession, passed tlie immense deltas
of Orinoco and Amazon. From Braganza
shoals to the celebrated Magellan straits,
every bay and beadl&nd was an open book to
George Hamilton, and none of them were
blank books.
Incidentally, he had told me that he was
married, but made no further reference to
family affairs. He claimed to represent a
New England manufacturing company,
whose main offices were in Boston. I nat u¬
rally supposed that, his wife was living at or
near that city. His almost studied reticence
about domestic associations prevented me
from making even ordinary inquiries. I was
to learn more, however, and soon; but not
all from him.
To describe George Hamilton in his moods,
or at his worst or best, would result the same.
An attractive man, he easily gained ami held
esteem. Men and women alike were fasci
nated by his physical beauty and intellectual
strength. I bad been proud of his individual
preference. had rejoined

will be, "Good voyage voyage u,ni and good luck.’ luck.’ As As

He stepped lightly across the corridor,
oiiened the wicket and passed to the quiet
street beyond.
Next morning breakfast was dispatched
with some nervousness. Fully an hour and
a half before the advertised time for sailing
I stepped on board th - Gievu. Passenger fol¬
lowed passe;ic r nimbly up the gangway,
but no Hamilton appeared. “PP I went in and

to whether my friend had actually taken
passage on that steamer, he referred me to
the purser, who said that no such man or
name was booked. Perplexed and chagrined
at this information, I went over the Neva’s
port side and was briskly rowed ashore.
Something told me that I had been duped
and purposely - that my late mysterious
companion had a reason for his conduct
which was all potent to him, but which 1
might never know.
Th.it night, at the hotel, when I kicked off
my shoes before retiring, ray left foot struck
a small object on the floor by tlie lounge.
Stooping down, 1 picked up a velvet and
clasp locket. Touching its spring, I saw the
face of a woman of exquisite loveliness. She
was in Spanish costume. Her tender, be¬
seeching eyes fairly glistened in the minia¬
ture, which wfts an admirable painting on
ivory. The locket had, without doubt, been
dropped by Hamilton when he threw himself
on the lounge the evening before. I carefully
placed it in my trunk, with Anti Ur memen¬
toes.
“Was this La Serena? What was her his¬
tory? Why should he avoid so peerless a
woman? Was she his wife? Would I ever
meet tier I” These self interrogations brought
no solution that was satisfactory, although
asked over and over again. At length I fell
asleep, mumbling them in unintelligible
chorus.
Twelve days afterward 1 was, as has al¬
ready been written, one of Montevideo’s one
hundred thousand.
**♦♦••*
The vast, barnlike auditorium of Teatro
Solis blazed with beauty, gallantry, enthu¬
siasm and light. Italian residents, proud of
their countryman, vied with natives of the
Banda Oriental and with many strangers,
then within its gates, to cheer Tomaso Salvini
to the echo. Never had I seen or heard such
approbation. The masterly por¬
trayal of Shakespeare’s “Othello” was re¬
ceived with outbursts of deafening applause.
One of the greatest of modern tragic actors
had a new triumph.
Toward the close of the play I luc e was a

“1 said. Macro, tbnt we were acquainted.
There is sometimes afflhtlnotkm WtwOen that
and solid friendship. K'o have recently
parted company in Rio.”
At this announcement she eHneind her
bands, as it in agony. Her frame visibly
shook, and her passionate eagerness was so
great that I feared other guest* might see It.
But merriment ran, riot; and each couple or
coterie wus absorbed in it* own enjoyment.
Quickly recovering her composure, Mrs
Hamilton asked-
“Are you sure that yaw-acquaintance wav

“He called you La Serena ”
“Only in derision.”
“No, i cannot think It. Hia tone when
speaking that name (only heard by me once
from his lips) was one of affection seemingly
choked by some bitter (Hsappointment."
Then I briefly told her till that I knew of
him whom I had so greatly iiked. How, as
fellow voyagtsrs, we had first met on a steam
era deck in Now York harbor; of our pleas¬
urable social intercourse; his last evening
with, mo; the broken appointment on the
his Nev^f, and my action; suspicions of ns to the’reason fol
grange 'the my subsequently find¬
ing locket, and how it* portrait ambled
me to recognize her at the Teatro Soil*.
“You say,” sherepliod, “that George Ham¬
ilton must have preceded or followed you to
Montevideo!"
“Such is my opinion, senora.”
“Why should ho do that! Not for your
sake, surely; nor yet for his own. With me
(so cruelly deceived) he cannot hope to be
reconciled. Besides, he is outlawed in Brazil
and the River Plate republics for heavy de
falca turns.”
A light broke upon me. The mystery was
being solved, and by an accidental friend of
the family. There were two George Hamil-
tons, and La Serena imagined that she had
married the wrong one It had been my
friend’s father’s name, le, I 1 knew. He had one
day ly told U me that about the time of his fatherY
death, death, in in Massachusetts, Massachusetts, the the name name had had been been
adroitly used by a swindler In South Anieri
ca, who obtained large sums of money.
"You became George Hamilton’s wife here,
in Montevideo, senora?” was now my leading
question.
“No,” she said, "at Paris. Though I was
born in Uruguay, my education was com¬
pleted ilton in abroad. this country I never Just knew George Ham¬
as we were pre¬
paring for our home coming here, tlie Euro¬

London. When I did quit the English me

tropclis it was to return to the protection of
my good friends in France. There has been
no word of my husband, except what you
bring me, since I discarded him. At the hotel
in London I left a letter for him, telling him
that be must never dare to seek me."
“Might he not have been innocent, se¬
nora?”
“Impossible! The evidence w as direct and
convitsnng. He was described as tho base
son of an American contractor, who, years
before had been much esteemed in Brazil.
His family history was given, and even his
person described. ”
"There have been caws of false persona¬
tion,” said L
“Prove to me that this is oriel” she ex¬
claimed. “Prove to me that I've wronged
my husband, prove tiiat ho is true and hon¬
orable as was that man, now dead, whose
name be bears; prove this, and all of this,
and my woman’s prayers are for you for¬

“I may be able, senora, to do more than
this.”
“Oh, sir, do not mock me! There come,
at times, taunting specters in my dreams;
but 1 awake to hopelessness. You have
strangely interested me in yourself Lieut.
S- will soon bring yon to visit mo Then
you can return the locket. Alas, it was my
wedding gift to him you still call friend!”
Tho gay assemblage was now breaking up.
On every ery side were heard shouts of "Good
night!” I” and and “Merry “Merry Christmas!” Mrs. Ham¬
ilton’s carriage had been ordered, and, as 1
handed her into it, she said.
“I am glad, senor, that we have met.
Something tells me joy will come from it!"
Then, with “good night," sweetly spoken, she
sank back on tho cushion*.
Following her into tlie coach, Lieut. S-
closed its door His extended hand was has¬
tily grasped and released. As the vehicle
rolled away, they cried in unison, “Merry
Christmas!” 1 responded with a hearty
"adiosl”
Overhead glittered the constellation of the
Southern Cross. Its exceeding brightness
was hailed by me as a good omen.
Modesty and bravery are sterling qualities.
Lieut. S- [Assessed them both. Whatever
he did while on active service for Her Brit¬
annic Majesty and the glory of his country
was in line of dot; Talking about it was

So I told him Iji Serena’s story, and my own

Before wo had gone ten paces there was a

been capsized by a sudden flaw of wind.
Help was close at baud, but there was too
much of it. Three person* were seen cling¬

a woman’s head and arm became visible. She
clutched wildly at the air and sank again.
At that moment I missed Lieut. 8-, who
had been watching the scene with keenest in¬

of the Narcissus and was swimming toward
tho unfortunates. But another and more
powerful stroke was in advance of the in¬

was La Serena, drowning, within reach of
many arms of steel.
