God! how tho lies poured forth! a very cascade of them! and they wore all told with such an air of truth! I marvelled at the c;l« • and rapidity with which they glided off tliis fair woman’s tongue, feeling somewhat the same sense of stupid astonishment a rustic exhibits when ho sees for the first tune a conjuror drawing yards and yards of many-coloured ribbon out of Ids mouth. I lookup the little hand on wldch tlie wedding ring I had placed there was still worn, and quietly slipped upon the slim finger a circlet of magnificent rose brilliants. 1 had long carried this trinket about with mo in expectation of the moment that had now come. She started from my arms with an exclamation of delight. "Oli, Cesare! how lovely! How good you are to me!" And leaning towards me, she kissed me. then resting against my shoulder, she held up her hand to admire the tlasli of the diamonds in the light. Suddenly she said with some anxiety in her tone — “You will not toll Guido? not yet?” “No,” I answered: “I certainly will not tell him till he returns. Otherwise ho would leave Rome at once, and wo do not want him back just immediately, do wo?” And 1 toyed with her rippling gold tresses half mechanically, while I wondered within myself at the rapid success of my scheme. She, in tho meantime, grew pensive and abstracted and for a few moments wo were both silent. If site had known! I thought. If she could have imagined that she was encircled by the arm of her own husband, tlie man whom site tiad duped and wronged, the poor fool she had mocked at and despised, whose life had been an obstruction in Iter path, whoso deatli site had been glad of! Would she have smiled so sweetly? Would site have kissed me then?* ****** * Site remained leaning against mo In a reposeful attitude for some moments,ever and anon turning tho ring I had given Iter round and round upon her linger. I’.y and by she looked up. “Will you do me one favour?” she isked. coaxlr.gly: "such a little thing—a trifle! but it would give me much plcasiro!” “What is it?” I asked; “you must eownand and 1 obey!” “Well, take off those dark glasses just for a minute! 1 want to see your eyes!” I rose from the sofa quickly, and answered her w th some coldness. “Ask anything you like but that, min bella. The least light on my eyes gives mo the most acute pain—pain that irritates my nerves for hours afterwards. Me satisfied with me as 1 am for tlie present, though I promise you your wish shall bo gratified—” “When?” site interrupted mo eagerly. I stooped and kissed her hand. "On i fie vetting of our marriage day," I a'.sm* red. She blushed and turned Iter head away coquettlshly. "Ah! that is so long to wait!” she said, half pettishly. “Not very long, I hope,” I observed, with meaning emphasis. “We are now in November. May I ask you to make my suspense brief? to allow me to fix outwedding day for tlie second month of tlie New Year?” “Hut my recent widow hood I . . . Stella's death!” site objected faintly, pressing a perfumed handkerchief gently to Iter eyes. “In February your husband will have been dead nearly ? six months,” I said, decisively; "it is quite a sufficient period of mourning for one so young as yourself. And the loss of your child so increases the loneliness of your situation, that it is natural, oven necessary, that you should secure a protector as soon as possible. Society will

not censure you, you may bo sure—besides I shall know how to silence any gossip that savours of Impertinence.” A smile of conscious triumph parted her lips. “It shall be as you wish,” she said demurely; "if you, who are known in Naples as one who is perfectly indifferent to women, like now to figure as an Impatient lover, I shall not object!" And >lie gave mo a quick glance of mG.-liiovous amusement from under languid lids of her dreamy dark eyes. I saw it, hi.t answered stiffly— "You are aware, Contessa, and I am also aware that I am not a ‘lover,’ according to tlie accepted type, but that 1 am impatient I readilv admit.” "And why?” site asked. “Heeause," 1 replied, speaking slowly and emphatically, “1 desire you to be mine and mine only, to have you absolutely in my possession, and to feel that no one can come between us, or interfere with my wishes concerning you.” She laughed gaily. “A la bonne hourc! You ne a lover without knowing it! Your dignity will not allow you to believe that you are actually in love with me, but In spite of yourself you are —you know vou are!” I stood before her in almost sombre silence. At last 1 said, "if you say so, Contessa, then it must be so. 1 have had no experience in affairs of the heart as they are called, and I find it difficult to give a name to tlie feelings which possess me; I am only conscious of a very strong wish to become the absolute master of your dcstinity.” And involuntarily I clenched my hand as I spoke. She did not observe the action, hut she answered tlie words with a graceful bend of tho head and a smile.” "I could not have a I rtt -r fortune,” she said, “for I am si.r- icy destiny will he all brightness and beauty with you to control and guide it!” “It will be what you deserve,” I half muttered; then with an abrupt change of manner I said: “I will wish you good night, Contessa. It grows late, and my state of health compels me to retire to rest early.” She rose from her seat and gave mo a compassionate look. "S’ou are really a great sufferer then?” she inquired tenderly. "I am sorry! Hut perhaps careful nursing will quite restore you. I shall bo so proud if 1 can help you to secure better health.” “Rest and happiness will no doubt do much for me.” 1 answered, “still 1 warn you, cara mia, that in accepting me as your husband you take a broken-down man—one whose whims are legion and whose chronic state of invalidism may in time prove to be a burden on your young life. Are you sure your decision is a wise one?” “Quite sure!” she replied firmly. “Do I not love you? And you will not always he ailing—you look so strong.” “1 am strong to a certain extent," I <aid. unconsciously straightening myself is I stood. "I have plenty of muscle as far as that goes, hut my nervous system is completely disorganized. I—why, what is tho matter? Are you ill?” For she had turned deathly pale, and her eyes looked startled and terrified. Thinking she would faint, I extended my arms to save her from falling, but she put them aside with an alarmed yet appealing gesture. “It is nothing.’’ she murtnored feebly, “a sudden giddiness:—! thought—no matter what! Toll me, are you not related to tlie Romani family? When you drew yourself up just now you were so like—like Fabio! 1 fancied,” and she shuddered, “that 1 saw Ids ghost!” I supported her to a chair near the window, which I threw open for air, though tho evening was cold. “You are fatigued and over-excited,” I said calmly, "your nature is too Imaginative. N’o; I am not related to the Ro-

manis, though possibly I may have some of their mannerisms. Many men are alike in these tilings. But you must not give way to such fancies, rest perfectly quiet, you will soon recover,” And pouring out a glass of water, I handed it to her, She sipped it slowly, leaning back in tho fauteiifl where I had placed her, and in silence wo both looked out on tho November night. There was a moon but she w as veiled by driving clouds, which ever and anon swept asunder to show her gleaming pallidly white, like tho restless spirit of a deceived and murdered lady. A rising wind moaned dismally among tho fading creepers and rustled the heavy braneiies of a giant cypress that stood on tlie lawn like a huge spectral mourner draped in blaek, apparently waiting for a forest funeral. Now and then a few big drops of rain fi ll—sudden tears wrung as though by force from tho blaek heat of tlie sky. My wife shivered. “Shut tlie window!” she said, glancing back at mo where 1 stood behind her chair. "I am much better now. It was very silly. I do not know what came over me, but for the moment I felt afraid—horribly afraid—of you!” •‘That was not complimentary to your future hit !>;vnd,” I remarked quietly, as I closed vd fastened the window in obedience to her request. “Should 1 not insist upon an apology?” She laughed nervously, and played with her ring of rose brilliants. “It Is not yet too late,” I resumed; “if on second thoughts you would rather not man y me, you have only to say so. I shall accept my fate with equanimity, aud'shall not blame you.” At this she seemed quite alarmed, and rising, laid tier hand pleadingly on my arm. "Surely you are not offended?” she said. “I was no , really afraid of you, you know—It was a stupid fancy—1 cannot explain it. But I am quite well now, and 1 am only too happy. Why, 1 would not lose your love for all the world —you must boliove met” And she touched my hand e^.-ossingly with her lips. I withdrew it gi ntly,and stroked her hair with an almost parental tenderness: then I said quietly;

“If so, we an* agreed, and all is well. Let me dvlse you to take a long night's rest; your nerves are weak and somewhat shaken. Y'ou wish me to keep our engagement secret?” She thought for a moment, then answered musingly— “For tlie present perhaps it would be best. Though,” and she laughed, "it wuuld be delightful ins < all i he other women jealous and-envious of iny good fortune! Still, if the new - were told to any of our friends—who Knows'?—it might accidentally reach Guido, ft id ” "I understand! You may rely upon aiy discretion Good night, Contessa!” "You may call me Nina,” she murmured softly. “Nina, then," I said with some effort, us 1 lightly kissed her. “Good night! — may your dreams bo of me!” Slie responded to this wi;h a gratified smile, and as 1 left tlie room she waved her hand in a parting salute. My diamonds Hashed on it like a small circlet of lire; the light shed through the rosecolored lamps that hung from tlie painted ceiling fell full on her exquisite loveliness, softening it into ethereal radiance and delicacy, and when 1 strode forth from tlie house into the night air heavy with the threatening gloom of coming tempest, the picture of that fair face and form Hilled before me like a mirage—the glitter of her hair Hushed on my vision like little snakes of lire—her lithe hands seemed to beckon me—her lips had left a scorching heat on mine. Distracted with tlie thoughts iliut torturod me, 1 walked on and on for hours. The storm broke at last, tlie rain poured in torrenzs, but heedless of wind and weather, 1 wandered on like a forsaken fugitive. 1 Veemod to he the only human being left alive in a world of wrath and darkness. The rush and roar of the blast, the angry noise of waves breaking hurriedly on the shore, the swirling showers that fell on my defenseless lo ad — ail these things were unfelt, unheard by me. Tnore are times in a man’s life when mere physical feeling grows numb under tlie pressure of intense mental agony—when tlie indignant soul, smarting with the experience of some vile injustice, forgets for a litllo its narrow uml poor house of clay. Some such mood was upon me then, I suppose, for in tho very act of walking 1 was almost unconscious of movement. An awful solitude seemed to encompass mt—a silence of my own creating. 1 fancied that even the angry elements avoided me as 1 passed; tiiat there was nothing, nothing in all tho wide universe but myself, mid a dark brooding horror called Vengeance. All suddenly, tlie mists of my mind cleared; 1 moved no longer in a deaf, blind stupor. A Hash of lightning danced vividly before my eyes, followed by a crushing peal of thunder; 1 -aw to what end of a wild jovrney I had come. Those heavy gates —that undefined stretch of land—those ghostly glimmers .of motionless white jike spectral milestones emerging from the gloom—I knew it all too well it was tho cemetery! I looked tlirough the iron palisades with tho feverish interest of one who watches the stage curtain rise on the last scene of a tragedy. Tlie lightning sprang once more across tlie sky, and showed me for a brief second the distant iiiurblc outline of tlie Romani vault. There tlie drama began—where would It end? Slowly, slowly there ilittod into my thoughts tho face of my lost child—tlie young, serious face as it had looked when the calm, prcternaiurally wise smile of Death had rested upon it; and then a .curious feeling of pity possessed me - pity that her littlo body should be lying liiily out there, not in tlie vault, hut under the wet sod, in such a relentless storm of rain. 1 wanted to take her up from that eoid i^.iicli—to carry her to some homo where there should he light and heat and laughter— to warm her to life again with my arms; and as my brain played witii these foolish fancies, slow hot tears forced themselves into my eyes and scalded my cheeks as they fell. These tears relieved me—gradually the tightly-strung tension of my nerves relaxed, and 1 recovered my usual composure by degrees. Turning deliberately away from the beckoning grave-stones I walked back to the city tlirough the thick of tho storm, this time with an assured step and a knowledge of where I was going. I did not reach my hotel till past midnight; but this was not late #or Naples, and tlie curiosity of,the fat French liallporter was not so much excited by tlie lateness of my arrival as by the disorder of mv dress. “Ah, heaven!” lie cried; “that Monsieur the listiugilfshed, should have been in such a storm all unprotected! Why did no! Monsieur send for his carriage?” leut vliort ills exclamations bv dropping five francs Into his overy-ready hand. a« suring him that I had thoroughly enjoyed tho novelty of a walk In bad weather, whereat ho smiled and congratulated me as much as ho had just commiserated me. On reaching my own rooms, my valet Vincenzo stared at my dripping and dishevelled condition, hut was discreetly mute. He quickly assisted me to change my wet clothes for a wai n; dressing gown, and then brought a glaof nuilled port wine, but performed these duties with such an air of unbroken gravity that I was inwardly amused wliiio I admired the follow's reticence. When I was about to retire for the night. 1 tossed him a Napoleon. He eyed it musingly and inquiringly; then he asked— “Your Excellency desires to purchase something?” “Your silence, my friend, that is all!” I replied with a laugh. “Uiidcrsianrt me, Vincenzo, you will serve yourself and me best by obeying implicitly, and asking no questions. Fortunate is tlie servant who, n custonied to see Ids mastor drunk every night, swears to ail outsiders that ho has never served so - , r and discreet a gentleman! That is your character, Vincenzo—keep to it, and ws shall not qirirel ” lie. smiled gravely, and pocketed my piece of gold without a word—like a true Tuscan as lie was. The sentimental servant whoso fine feelings will not allow him to accept an extra “tip,” is, you may bo sure, a humbug, 1 never believed in such an one. Labour can always command its price, and what so laborious in lids ago as to be honest? Wlial so difficult as too keep silence on oilier people’s affairs? Sm/i herculean tasks deserve payment! A valet who is generously bribed, in addition to ids wages,can be relied on;if under paid, all heaven and earth will not persuade him to hold his tongue. Loft alone, at last, in my sleeping chamber, 1 remained for some time before actually going to bed. I took off the black spectacles which served me so well, and looked at myself in tho mirror with some curiosity. I never permitted Vincenzo to enter mybedroom at night, or before 1 was dressed in tho muruing,

lest he should surprise me without these appendages, which were my eldef disguise, for. In such a case, 1 fancy oven his studied composure would have given way. For. disburdened of my smokecoloured gla.-ses, I appeared what I was, young and vigorous in spite of my white beard and hair. My face, which had he‘'ii worn and ha fgard at first, had filled up and was healthily coloured: while my eyes, ♦ he snokesman of mv thoughts, were bright with tlie clearness and tire of con-1 stliutlona! strength a..u ,u,ysl jl well! being. I wondered, as I stare>: moodil' j at my own rcffectlon. ’now it was that li did not look ii). The mental suffering 1 continually underwent, mingled though It was with a cerlaiu gioomy satisfarthm, should surely ha\e left more indelible traces on my countenance. Yet it ha* boon proved that it is not always the hol-low-eyed, sallow and despairing looking persons who are ready in sharp trouble —these are more often bilious or dyspeptic, and know no more serious grief than the incapacity to gratify their appetites for the h.gli flavored delicacies of tlie table. A man may be endowed will, superb physique and a constitution that is in perfect working order—his face atid outward appearance may denote tinmost harmonious action of the life principle within him—and yet his nerves may be so lincly strung llutt he may be capable of suffering neuter agony in his mind than if his fiodv were to he hacked slowly to) ic es by jagged knives anti It will leave no mark on his teat tires while youtii still has hold on his llcsli and blood. So it was with me; and I wondered wliat she—Nina—would say, could she behold tne, unmasked as it were, in tlie solitude of my own room. This thought aroused another In mv mind—another at which I smiled grimly. I was an engaged man. Engaged to marry my own wife; betrothed for the second time to the same woman! What a difference between this and my first courtship of her! Then, who so great a fool as I— who so adoring, passionate anil devoted! New, who so darkly instructed, who -•<) cold, so absolutely pitiless! The eiImaxle my revenge ,s nearly reaehed,! looked through the eomiux days as one looks through a telescope out to sea, and I could watch the end approaching like a phantom bin neither slow uor fast, but steadily and silently. 1 was able to calculate each event in its due order, and 1 knew i o was no fear of failure in tlie final re Nature itself—tlie sun, moon and st, s. the sweeping circle of tlie sea- ms— <il semi to aid in the cause of ligi justice. Man’s duplicity may succeed >ii withholding a truth for a time, but in the end it must win its way. Once resolve, and then determine to carry out that resolve, and It is astonishing lo note with what marvelous ease everything makes way for you, provided there be no innate weakness in yourself which causes you to hesitate. I had formerly been weak, I knew, very weak—else I hud never been fooled by wife and friend, hut now, now mv strength was as tho strength of a demon working within me. My hand had already closed with an iron grip on two false unworthy lives, and had 1 not sworn “never to relax, never to relent,” till my vengeance was accomplished? I had! Heaven and eamh had borne witness to my vow. and now hold me to its stern fulfilment.

V INTER, or what the Neapolitans accept as winter, came on apace. For soirre time past tho air

^ had been full of the

mild chill and va-

porous murkiness, which, not cold enough to be bracing,sensibly lowered tlie system and depressed the spirits. The careless and jovial temperament of the people, however, was never much affected by the change of seasons—they drank more hot coffee than usual, and kept their feet warm by dancing from midnight up to the small hours of tlie morning. The cholera was a thing of ihn past,—the densing of tho city, the sanitary precautions, which had been so iniicii talked about and recommended in order to prevent another outbreak in the coming year, were ail forgotten and neglected, and tin* laughing populace tripped lightly over the graves of Its dead, hundreds as though they were odorous banks of flowers “Oggi! oggi!” is tlieir cry,—to-day, to-day! Never mind wliat happened yesterday or w hat will happen to-morrow,—leave that to i signori Santi and la Signora Madonna! And after all there Is a grain of reason in their folly, for many of tho bitterest miseries of roan grow out of a fatal habit of looking beck or looking forward, and of never living actually in the full-fated present. Then, too, Carnival was approaching; Carnival, which, though denuded of many of its best and brightest features, still reels through the streets of Naples with sometiiingof the picturesque manners that in old times used to accompany its prototype, the Feast of Kacchus. I was reminded of this coming festivity on the morning of tho 21st of December, when I noted some unusual attempts on tlie part of Vincenzo to control his countenance, that often, in spite of Ids efforts, broadened into a sunny smile as though some humorous thought had llitti‘d across his mind. He betrayed himself at last by asking mo demurely whether I purposed taking any part In tlie Carnival. I smiled and shook my head. Vincenzo looked dubious, but finally summoned up courage to say— “Wlli the Eccelenza permit”—"You to make a fool of yourself?” I interrupted, “by all means!

Nearly 22,000 Hindoos lost their lives last year from being bitten by snakes. As a household remedy it cannot be excelled—Mr. L. E.
