What fairer fate could a man desire?— what life more certain to keep health in the body and peace In the mind? Could l not help him to his happiness, I wondered? i, who had grown stern with long brooding upon my vengeance— could 1 not aid in bringing joy to others? If I could, my mind would be somew hat lightened of its burden—a burden grown heavier since Ouido’s death, for from his blood had sprung forth a new group of Furies, that lashed mo on to my task with scorpion whips of redoubled wratli and passionate ferocity. Y'et if 1 could do one good action now—would it not lie as a star shining In the midst of my soul's storm and darkness! Just then Lula laughed—how sweetly!—the laugh of a very young child. What amused her now? 1 looked, and saw that site had taken the axo from Vincenzo,- and lifting it In her little bands was endeavouring bravely to Imitate his strong and telling stroke; lie meanwhile stood aside with an air of smiling superiority, mingled with a good deal of admiration for the slips active ligure arrayed In the Hue kirtle and scarlet bodice, on whicli tiie warm rays of the lain sun fell with so much amourous tenderness, roorlitiie Llila! A penknife would have made as much impression as her valorous blows produced on the inflexible, gnarled, knotty old stump siio essay, cl to split iu twain. Flushed and breathless with her efforts, she looked proitier than ever, and at last, baflled. she resigned the axe to Vincenzo, laughing gaily at her incapacity f,,r wood cutting and daintily shaking her apron free from tin, chips and dust, till a call from her mother caused her to run swiftly into the house, leaving Vincenzo working away -is arduously as ever. 1 went up t.,, tiin . lie „aw me approaching, and paused In his labours with an air of slight embarrass-
ment.
“You like this sort of work, amlco?” I said gently. “An old hahlt. Ec.cellenza—nothing moro. It reminds m,- of the days of my youth, when I worked for my mother. All! a pleasant place it was—the old home just above Fiesule." His eyes grew pensive and sad. “It is all gone now—lipished. That was before I became a soldier, lint one thinks of it sometimes.” "I understand. And no doubt you would be glad to idurii to the life of your boyhood?” He looked a little startled. “Xot to leave you, Eccollenza!” I smiled rather sadly. "Not to leave me? Not if you wedded Lilia Monti?” Ills olive check flushed, but lie shook his head. “Impossible! She would not listen to me. She is a child.” “She will soon be a woman, believe mo. A little more of your company will make her so. # lint there Is plenty of time. She is beautiful, as you said; and something better than that, she Is innocent—think of that, Vincenzo! Do you know how rare a thing innocence is—In a woman? Rc spect it as you respect God; let her young life bo sacred to you.” lie glanced upwards reverendiy. “llccellaiiza, I would as soon tear the Madonna from her altars as vox or frighten Lilia!” 1 smiled and said no more, bnt turned into the house. From that moment I resolved to let. this little love-idyl! havo a fair chance of success. Therefore I remained at Avcilino much longer than I had at first intended—not for my own sake but for Vincenzo’s. Ho served uie faithfully, he should have Ids reward. I took a pleasure in noticing that my efforts to t-s n-in-.h-s V, , , t ' h» V wasted I sunk* with Lilia often on indifferent matters that interested her.and watched her constantly when she was all unaware of my observant gaze. With me she was as frank and fearless as a tamo robin: hut after some days I found that she grew shy of mentioning the name of Vincenzo, that she blushed xehen he approached her. that she was timed of asking idin to do anything for her; and from ail these little signs I know her mind, as one knows by the rosy streaks In the sky that the sunrise is near. One afternoon I called the Signora Monti to my room. She came, surprised an4 a little anxious. Was anything wrong with the service? I reassured her housewifely scruples, and came to the point at onco. “I would speak to you of your child, the little Liila,” I said kindly. "Have you ever thought that she may marry?” Her dark bold eyes filled with tears and her lips quivered. “Truly I have,” she replied with a wistful sadness; “but I have prayed,

And with a gay parting salute he left me. No one else in the city app- ared to share his foreboding scruples, if fie had any, about my forthcoming marriage. It was everywhere talked of with as much I iuiere.-t and expectation as though it were some new amusement invented

the peculiarities Clothes washed
**, them always attract attention by their
Xoignod to love mo- me, her newly accepted husband. One very amorous epistle had been written on the self same evening she had plighted her trotli to me!—Letters burning and tender, full of the most passionate protestations of fidelity, overflowing with the sweetest terms of endearment, with such a ring of truth and love throughout them that surely it was no wonder that Guido's suspicions were all unwakonod, and that ho hud reason to believe hinisolf safe in his fool’s paradise. One passage iu this poetical and romantic correspondence fixed my attention. It
ran thus:—
“Why do yon write so much of marriage to me, Guido mlo? It seems to my mind that all the joy of loving will bo taken from us when once the hard world knows of our passion. It you become my husband you will assuredly cease to bo niv lover, and that would break my heart. Ah, my best beloved! I desire you to be tny lover always as you were when Fablo lived,—why bring commonpiaee matrimony into the heaven of such a passion as ours?” I stuflii I the e words attentively. Of course I understood their drift. She had tried to feel her way with the dead man. She had wanted to marry me, and yet retain Luido for her lonely hours, as •'her lover always!” Such a pretty, ingenious plan it was! No thief, no murderer ever laid more cunning schemes than she; but the law looks after thieves and murderers. For such a woman as this Law says, “Divorce her—that is your best remedy.” Divorce her! Lot tho criminal go seot free! Others may do It that choose—I have different ideas of justice! Tying up the packet of letters again, with their sickening perfume and their blood stained edges, I drew out the last graciously worded missive I had roi coived from Nina. Of course I heard j from her every day,—she was a most faithful correspondent! Tho same affectionate expressions characterized her letters to me as those that had deluded her dead lover,—witli this difference, that whereas she inveighed very much against tho prosinoss of marriage to Guido, to me she drew the most touching picture of her desolation, how lonely she had felt since her “dear husband’s” deall;, how rejoiced she was to think she was soon again to bn a happy wife—tho wife of one so noble, so true, so devoted as 1 was! !She had left the convent and was now at homo—when should slie have tho happiness of welcoming me, her best beloved Cesare back to Naples! She certainly deserved some credit for artistic lying; 1 could not understand how she managed it so well. Almost I admired her skill, as one sometimes admires a cool-headed burglar, who has more skill, cunning and pluck than Ids comrades. ] thought with triumph that thougn tho wording of Ferrari’s will enabled her to secure all other letters she might have written to him, tills one little packet of documentary evidence was more than sufficient for my purposes. And I resolved to retain it in my own keeping till the time came for me to use it against her. And how about D’Aveneourt’s friendly advice concerning the matrimonial knot? “A man should not walk on ihe edge of a precipice with his eyes shut.” Very true. Hut if his eyes are open and lie lias ids oneuiv by the threat, the edge of a precipice Is a convenient position for burling that enemy down to death in a quiet way, that the world need know nothing of! So for the presont 1 preferred tho precipice to walking on level

We will pray for your happiness, Lilia and 1, till the last breath leaves our lips H • iove it—tiie name of our benefactor shall bo lifted to the saints night and morning, and who knows but good may come of it!” I smiled faintly. "Good will come of it, my excellent signora, though 1 am all unworthy of your prayers. Rather pray,” and I sigh: d heavily, “for the dead, ‘that they may be loosed from their sins.’ ” The good woman looked at mo with a sort of kindly pity mingled with awe, then niiirnihring once more her thunks and blessings, she left the room. A few minutes afterwards Viuceuzo entered, I addressed him cheerfully. “Absence Is the best test of love, Vincenzo; prepare all for our departure. Wo shall leave Avellitio the day after tomorrow.” And so we did. Lilia looked slightly downcast, but Vincenzo seemed satisfied, and I augured from their faces, and from the mysterious smile of Kigtiortv Monti that all was going well. I left tho beautiful mountain town with regret, knowing 1 should see it no more. I touched Lilia's fair cheek lightly ttt parting, and took what 1 knew was my last look into the sweet candid face. Yet the consciousness that I had done some little good gave my tired heart a sense of satisfaction and repose—a feeling 1 had not experienced since I died and rose again from the
dead.
On the last day of January I returned to Naples, after an absence of more than a month, and was welcomed back by all my numerous acquaintance with enthusiasm. The Marquis D’Avencourt had informed me rightly—the affair of duel was a thing of tiie past, an almost forgotten circumstance. Tiie carnival was In full riot; the streets wore scenes of fantastic mirth and revelry; there was music and song, dancing and masquerading. and feasting. Hut I withdrew from tho tumult of merriment, and absorbed myself in the noeessrry preparations for —my marriage.

confused images, molight, hours of long
darkness—all things gross, refined, material and spiritual wore shaken up in my life like the fragments iu a kaleidoscope, ever changing into new form and bewildering patterns. My brain wa- clear yet I often questioned myself wl.ether I was not going mad—whether all the careful methodical plans I formed were but the hazy fancies of a hopelessly disordered mind. Yet, no; eacii detail of my scheme was too complete, loo consistent, too business-like for tint. A madman may have a method of :e : ion to a certain extent, but there is always some slight slip, some omission, .' one mistake whlcfi helps to dls-over hi-- condition. Now 1 forgot nothing—f had tho composed exactitude of a c« eful banker who balances his accounts with tho most elaborate regularity. I can laugh to think of it all new; but \, "ii,— then I moved, spoke and acted like a human machine impelled by stronger forces than my own—Iu all thin n precise, In ail things inflexible. WIlLic iLvs *eck of my retail.i ■ i oru A veil it: "in ? ecniinc marriage with the Countess Romani was announced. Two days after it had boon made public, while sauntering across the Largo del Castello, 1 met the Mai quia D’Aveneourt. I had not seen Imu since tiie morning of the duel, and his presence gave mo a sort of nervous shook. He was exceedingly cordial, though I fancied lie was also sliahtly embarrassed. After a few commonplace remarks he said abruptly: •!So your marriage will positively take
place?”
I forced a laugh. "Ma certamonte! Do you doubt it?” His handsome face clouded and his manner grew still more cons rain al. “No; hut I thought—1 had hoped—” “Mon elier,” I said airly, “I perfectly understand u> what you allude. But wo rneu of tho world are not fastidious,— we know better than to pay any heed to foolish lovo-fanelos of a woman before her marriage, so long as she does not trick us afterwards. The letters you sent toe were trifles, mere trlfios. In wooding the Coutessa
was engr od morning after morning wiili dre s.ankers, tailors and milliners, and she was surrounded by a certain “set” of female friends, for whose benefit she displayed the incoming treasures of her wardrobe till tlcy were ready to cry for spite and vexation, though they had to smile ami hold in their wrath and outraged vanity beneath the social mask of complacent composure. And Nina loved nothing better than to torment tiie poor women who w»re stinted of pocket money with the sight of shimmering satins, soft radiant plushes, ri< ii velvets, embroidery studded with real gems, pieces of cosily old lacu, priceless scents and articles of bijouterie; sin* lovi-d also to dazzle the eyes and bewilder the brains of young girls, whose tiuo.-u toilette was a garb of simplest, white uiir univloriied save by a cluster of natural blossoms, and to send them away -te!; at h'uirt, .pining for they knew not what, d!ssatisliq;l with everything. and grumbling at fate for not perniittifig i Lein to deck themselves iu such inarvuiloii“ai rangiuneiits" of costume us those |. e eased by the happy, the for-

I'm r .naiio ns! had they but known ail liiCj wo.tid not have envied hen Women are too fond of measuring hap piness by the amount of fine clothes they obtalu, and I truly believe dress is the one tiling that never fails to console them. How often a fit of hysterics can be cut short by the opportune arrival of
a new gown!
My wife, In consideration of her approaching second nuptials, had thrown off her widow’s crape, and now appeared clad in those soft subdued half-tints of colour that suited her fragile, fairy-like beauty to perfection. All her old witcheries and her graceful tricks of manner and speech wore put forth for my benefit I knew them all well! I understood the value of her light caresses and languishing looks so thoroughly! She was very anxious to attain the full digdity of her position as tho wife of so rich a nobleman as I was reputed to bo. therefore she raised no objection when I fixed tho day of our marriage for Giovodi Grasso. Then the fooling and mumming, the dancing, shrieking, and screaming would be at its height; it pleased my whim to have this other piece of excellent masquerading take place at tiie same time. Tiie wedding was to bo as private as possible, owing to my wife's “recent sad bereavement,” as she herself said with a pretty sigii and tearful pleading glance. It would tako place In tho cliapol of San Gennaro, adjoining tho cathedral. Wo wore married thoro before! During the time that intervened, Nina’s manner was somewhat singular. To me she was often timid, and sometimes half conciliatory. Now and then I caught her largo dark eyes fixed on me witli a startled, anxious look, but this expression soon passed away.
