Yes, Ihe proud reserved Span¬ iard Ireated him with marked distinction. The very prettiest of thc young ladies be¬ gan lo observe that he was not ugly, that there was even something interesting in his features, and the senalors and couticil- Itirs began to ask who ho might be!— Some of thc yoting officers professed to be able to answer this question, and staled that he now and then took a steak for a dinnor, lived in street, and roile a very pretty horse. Thoy then enumerat¬ ed the good qualities of bis horso with groat accuracy, and this led them to a dis¬ cussion on horsd-flciih in general, whicii is said tu huvc been profound and valua¬ ble. After this Frobcn was often seen in company with thoDoii, especially at night. and feathers. He was ve.Kcd to find ihe ground already occupied. A young man slood thure, gazed at the picturo, stepped back to a window to walch lho flights of the clouds and Ihcn came up, and gazed again. He was ve.xed—but bad to be |ia- tient. Hc busied himself with tbc olhor paintings, but kept lurning his head every moment lo see whether Ihe young gentle¬ man Iuul not gone. But hc stood there firm as a wall, and seemed lost irr thoughl. Thc Spaniard coughed lo arouse him, but hc kept dreaming on ; hc inovcd his foot roughly, the young man looked round al him a momcnt_ vacantly, and then turned to fasten again on the picture. "San Pe¬ dro I Santiago de Compostella! what a tedious amaleur!" muttered hc, nnd left tho room angrily, fooling that tho disap¬ pointment had deprived hitn of all enjoy¬ ment for that day. The next day, beforo the clock had done striking twelve, he mounted tho gallery stairs in dignified haste, and made for thc well-known pic¬ ture, and, by good luck hu was the first and only visitor, and free to look hia fill. Ho gazed long and fixedly at the pieiuro; his eye grow dim, ho drow his hand across his shaggy eyo-lashcs.'and murmured "Oh Laura!" A sigh w;is plainly heard as au ocho to this exclamation—ho turned round ill surprise—thc samo young man slood near him looking earnestly at the portrait. Vexed nt Ihe interruption, he nodded a careless salulation ; the young man rs- turiied it with less coldness but equal pride. Tho Spaniard determined to sit his troublesome neighbor dut, but in vain. —for lo his amazement,thc young strang¬ er took a ohair and sat down a few paces off so as lo be al his ease. '-The fowl ! I really believe hc is making sport of my gray hnirs," said Don Pedro, and left the room in great indignation. In the anti- chamber hc mot one of the pro])rielors of thc collection. He tendered liiiii his thanks fur his politeness, but al the same lime eould not help saying a word about tho disturber of his peace. "You may have noliced," ho remarked "that one cf your pictures has a special value in my eyes. I came, on your invitation, lo sco this, to spend my time before it undisturb¬ ed, and now a mischevous young man watches my movements, comes whenever I conic, and spends whole hours, inerely lo vex mo, before a painting thnt he has no interesi in." Tho owner smiled. "I am not so cer¬ tain as to that; thc contrary seems tobe the case, for this is not thc first day that he has devoted to this picture." "VVho is he?" Ihc donr of Ihc house.
