My heart leaped with a sudden Impure of fury, but I controlled my voice and answered calmly— "Kequle.scat In pace! lie hdead—let him resit. Whatever his faults, his wife of course was true to him while ho lived: she considered him worthy of iidelity—Is It not »o?"

Ho lowered his eyes as he replied la ati indistinct tone, "Oh, certainly!" "And you—you were a most loyal and .faithful friend to him, In spite of tho tempting bright eyes of his lady?"

Again he answered huskily—"Why, of •course!" Hut the. shapely hand that rested on the table so near to mine, trembled.

And I Uuithed harshly. He stared at tue In blank surprise. "Jslhc make love to you!" lie exclaimed. "Yon jest. Sho would never Hitch thing." "Of course not!" I answered, rising and clapping him heavily on the shoulder. "Women never court men, It Is quite unheard of a reverse of the order of nature!

And arm In arm we sauntered out to the verandah In the most friendly way possible. Ferrari was completely restored to good humor, and Nina, I thought, was rather glad to see It She was evidently afraid of Ferrari, a good point for me to remember. She smiled a welcome to us as we approachud, and began to pour out tho fragrant cofTce. It was a glorious evening the moon already high In tho heavens, and the nightingales' volcos echoed softly from the distant woods. As I seated myself In »low chair that was placed Invitingly near that of my hostess, my ears were startled by a long melancholy howl, which changed every now and then to an Impatient whim. "What that?" I asked, though the quest inn was needless, for I knew the sound. "Oh, It !s that tiresome dog Wyvis," answered Nina In a vexed tone. "Ho belonged to Fabio, He makes the evening quite miserable with his moaning." "Where is he?" "Well, after my husband's death ho became so troublesome, roaming all over the hoti»«e and wailing and then he would insist on sleeping in Stella's r»om clo*e to her bedside. He really worried me both day and night, so I was compelled to chain him up." l\»or Wyvis! He \\sorely punished for his fidelity. "I am very fond of dosrs," I said slowly.

tic demonstrations of delight were watched by my wife and Ferrari with utter astonishment. I observed their surprise, and said lightly— "1 told vou how it would be! It Is nothing remarkable, I assure you. All dogs treat me in she same way.*'

And I laid my hand on the animal's neck with a commanding pressure he lav down.at once, only now and then raising his large wistful brown eyes to my face as though he wondered what had changed it so greatly. But 110 disguise could deceive his intelligen ce—the faithful creature knew his master. Meantime I thought Nina looked palo certainly tho little jewelled white hand neurcst to me shook slightly. "Are you afraid of tills noble anlsnal, Madame?" I asked, watching her closoly. She laughed a little forcedly. "Oh, no! Hut Wyvis Is usually so shy with strangers, and I novor saw hltn greet any one so rapturously except my iate husband. It Is really very odd!"

Ferrari, by his looks, agreed with her, and appeared to bo uneasily considering the circumstance. "Strange to say," he remarked, "Wyvis has for once forgotten tno. llo novor falls to give me a passing snarl."

Hearing his voice the dog did Indeed commence growling discontentedly but a touch from me silenced him. The animal's declared enmity towards Ferrari surprised tue,—it. was quite a,»e\v thing, as before my burial his behaviour to him had been perfectly friendly. "I have had a great (leal to do with dogs in my time," 1 said, speaking in a deliberately composed voice. "I havo found their Instinct marvellous they generally seem to recognize at on«o the persons who are fend of their society. This Wyvis of yours, Contessa, has no doubt discovored that I have had many friends among his brethren, so thero Is nothing strange In his making so much of mo."

Tho air of studied IndifTeronco with which 1 spoke, and the fact of tnv taking the exuberant delight of Wyvis as a matter of course, gradually reassured the plainly disturbed feelings of my two betrayers, for after a little pauso tho Incident was passed over, and our conversation went on wlh pleasant and satisfactory smoothness. Before my departure that evening, howevor, I offered to chain up tho dog—"as, If I do this," I added, "I guarantee he will not disturb yoar night's rest by his howling."

This suggestion mot with approval, and Ferrari waikod with mo to show mo where tho konncl stood. I chained Wyvis, and I stroked him tenderly ho appoarod to understand, aud he accepted his fate with perfect resignation, lying down upon his bed of straw without a sign of opposition, savo for ono imploring look out of Ills intelligent eyes as I turned awav and loft him. 1 On making my adieux to Nina, I firmly refused Ferrari's offered companionship

In tho walk back to my hotel. I "I am fond of a solitary moonlight 1 stroll," said. "Permit mo to have my own wav in tho matter."

After some friendly argumoht they yielded to my wishes. bade them both a civil "good night," bending low over my wife's baud and kissing it, coldly enough, tJod knows, and yet tho action was sufficient to make her flush and sparkle with pleasure. Then I left them, Ferrari himself escorting me to the villa nates, and watching me pass out on the open road. As long as he stood there, I walked with a slow and meditative pace toward She citv, but the Instant I I heard the gate clang heavily as it closed, I hurried back* with a can lions and noiseless step. Avoiding the I great entrance. I siipped round to th» western side of the rounds, where there wjvs a close hick-1: of laurel that .-extended almost up to the verandah I had just left. Knteriug this, and bending- the boughs softly aside as I pushe«f my way through. I gradually reached a position from whence I could see ih verandah plainly, and also hear anything that passed. Guid'i was sitting on the lowchair I had jut vacated, b-aning bis back aoaSns? my wife's breast he had reached up one arm *0 that It encircled her neck, and drew her head down towards his. In this half embrace they rested absolutely -U. nt for s^me moments*. Suddenly Ferrnri spoke— "You we very cruel, Nina! You actual! nude me think yo-.i admired that

He rose, aud standing erect, almost lifted her from her chair and folded her in his arms "Yes, I am coming in,*' he answered ''and I will have a hundred kisses for every look and smile you bestowed on the Conte! You little coquette! You would flirt with your grandfather!"

She rested against Win with apparent tenderness, one haud playing with the flower in his button-hole, and then she said with a slight accent of fear in her voice— "Tell me, Guido, do you not think he is a little like—like Fabio? Is there not a something in his manner that seems familiar?" "I confess I have.fancied so once or twice," he returned musingly "there is rather a disagreeable resemblance. But what of that? Many men are almost counterparts «f each other. But I wiil tell you what I think. I am almost positive he is some long lost relation of the family—Fabio's uncle for all we know, who does not wish to declare his actual relationship. He is a good old fellow enough, I believe, and is certainly rich as Croesus he will be a valuable friend to us both. Come, sposina mia, it is time to go to rest."

And they disappeared within tho house, and shut the windows after them. I immediately left my hiding-place, aud resumed my way towards Naples. I was satisfied they had no suspicion of tho truth. After all, it was absurd of me to fancy they might have, for people lu general do not imagine it possible for a buried man to come Dack to life again. The gamo was in my own hands, and I now resolved to play It out with as little delay us possible.

CHAPTER XVI IME flew swiftly 011—a month, six weeks, passed, and during that short space I had established myself in Naples as a great personage—great, because ofmy wealth and the style in

which I lived. No one in all the numerous families of distinction that eagerly sought my acquaintance cared whether I had intellect or intrinsic personal worth it sufficed to them that I kept, a carriage and pair, an elegant and costly equipage, softly lined with satin and drawn by two Arabian maros as black as polished ebony. The value of my friendship was measured by the ltixuriousness ofmy box at the opera, and by the dainty fittings of my yacht, a swift trim vessel furnished with every luxury, and having on board a band of stringed instruments which discoursed sw«et music when tho moon emptied her horn of silver radiance on tho rippling water. In a little while I knew everybody who was worth knowing in Naples everywhere my name was talked of, my doings wero chronicled in tho fashionable newspapers stories of my lavish generosity were repeated from mouth to mouth, and the most highly colored reports of my Immense revenues wero whispered with a kind of breathless awe at every cafe and street corner. Tradesmen waylaid my reticent valet, Vlncenzlo, and gave him douceurs in tho hope I10 would obtain my custom for them— 'tips" which he pocketed in his usual reserved and .discreet manner, but which he was always honest enough to tell 1110 of afterwards. Ho would most faithfully give me the name and address of this or that particular tempter of his fidelity, always adding—"As to whether the rascal sells good things or bad our Lady only knows, but truly he gave me thirty francs to secure your excellency's good will. Though for all that I would not recommend him if your excellency knows of an lionester man!"

Among other distinctions which my wealth forced upon me, where the lavish attentions of match-making mothers The black spectacles which I always wore, were not repulsive to these diplomatic dames—or. tho contrary some of them assured me they wero most becoming, so anxious were they to secure 1110 as a son-in-law. Fair girls in their teens, blushing and ingenuous, were artfully introduced to me—or, I should say, thrust forward like slaves in market for my inspection—though, to do them justice, they were remarkably shrewd and sharp-witted for their tender years. Young as they were, they were keenly alive to tbo Importance of making a good match—and no doubt the pretty innocentlald many dainty schemes in their own minds of liberty and enjoyment when one or the other of them should become the Countess Oliva, and fool the old black spectacled husband to to her heart's content. Needless to say their plans were not destined to be fulfilled, though I rather enjoyed studying the many devices they employed to fas cinate mc% What pretty ocrltng glances I received!—what whispered admiration of my "beautiful white hair!" "so dis tingue!"—what tricks of manner, alternating from grave to gav, from rippling mirth to witching languor! Many An evening I sat at ease on board my yacht,

.TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATf. 7

ana rerrari were mcfuaea as a matter or course. At first Nina demurred, with some plaintive excuse concerning her "recent terrible bereavement," but I easily persuaded her out of this. I even told some ladies I knew to visit her and add their entreaties to mine, as I said, with the benignant air of an elderly man. that It was not good for one so young to waste her time and injure her health by useless grieving. She saw the force of this. I must admit, with admirable readiness, and speedily yielded to the united invitations she received, though always with a well-acted reluctauce, aud sayins that she did so merely "because the Count Oliva was such an old friend of the family and knew my poor dear husband as a child."

On Ferrari I heaped all manner of benefits. Certain debts of his contracted at play I paid privately to surprise him his gratitude was extreme. I humored bim in many of his small extravagances —I played with his follies as an angler plays the fish at the end of his line, and I succeeded in winning his confidence. Not that I ever could surprise him into a confession of his guilty amour—but ho kept me well informed as to what ho was pleased to call "the progress of his attachment," and supplied me with many small details which, while they fired my blood, and brain to wrath, steadied mo more surely in my plan of vengeance. Little did he dream in whom he was trusting! —little did lie know iuto whose hand he was playing! Sometimes a kind of awful astonishment would come over me as I listened to his trival talk, and heard him make plans for a future that was

never to be. He seemed so certaiu of his happiness,—so absolutely sure that nothing could or would intervene to mar it Traitor as he was, he was unable to foresee punishment,—Materialist to the heart's core, he had no knowledge of the divine law of compensation. Now and then a dangerous impulse stirred me, a desire to say to him point blank, "You are a condemned criminal—a doomed man on the brink of the grave. Leave this light converse and frivolous jesting—and, while thero is time, prepare for death!"

But I bit my lips and kept stern silence. Often, too, I felt disposed to seize him by tho throat, and, declaring my identity, accuse him of his treachery to his face, but I always remembered and controlled myself. Ono point in his character I knew well—I had known it of old—this was his excessive love of good wine. I aided and abetted him in this weakness, and whenover he visited mo I took care that he should have his choice of the finest vintages. Often after a convivial evening spent in my apartments with a few other young men of his class and caliber, ho reeled out of my presence, his deeply flushed face and thick voice bearing plain testimony as to his condition. On tJiese occasions I used to consider with a sort of fierce humor how Nina would recoivo him—for though sho saw 110 offense in tho one kind of vice sho herself practised, she had a particular horror of vulgarity in any form, and drunkenness was ono of thoso low failings she specially abhorred.

Go to your lady love, mon beau Silcnus!" I would think, as I watched him leaving my hotel with a couple of his boon companions staggering and laughing loudly he went, or singing tho last questionable street-song of the Neapolitan bas-peuple.

You are in a would-be riotous and savage mood—her finer animal instincts will revolt from you, as a lithe gazelle would fly from the hideous gambols of a rhin oceros. Sho is already afraid of you,— in a little while she will look upon you with loathing and disgust—tant pis pour vous, tant mieux pour moi!"

I had of course attained the position of ami intime at tho Villa Romani. I was welcome there at any hour,—I could examine and read my own books in my own library at leisuro (what a privilege was mine!), I could saunter freely through the beautiful gardens accompornied by Wyvis, who attended mo as a matter of course: in short, the house was almost at my disposal, though I never passed a night under its roof. I care fully kept up my character as a prematurely elderly man, sHghtly invalided by a long and arduous career in far-#ff foreign lands, and I was particularly prudent in my behavior towards my wife before Ferrari. Never did I permit the least word or action on my part that coiUd arouse his jealousy or suspicion. I treated her with a sert of parental kindness and reserve, but she —trust a woman for intrigue!—she was quick to porceive mjf reason for so doing. Directly Ferrari's back was turned, she would look at no with a glance of coquettish InteUigenoo and smile—a little mocking, half-petulant smllo—or she would utter some disparaging remark about him, combining it with a covert compliment to me. It was not for me to betray her secrets—I saw no occasion to tell Ferrari that nearly every morning she sent her maid to my hotel with fruit and flowers and Inquiries after my health.—nor was my valet Vincenzo the man to say that he carried gifts and similar messages from me to her. But at the commencement of November things were so far advenced that I was in the unusual position of being secretly courted by my own wifel—I reciprocating her attentions with equal secreey! The fact of my being often in the company of other ladies piqued her vanity—she knew that I was considered a desirable parti—and—she resolved to win me. In this case I also resolved—to be wonl A grim courtship truly—between a dead man and his own widow! Ferrari never suspected what was going on he had spoken of me as "that poor fool Fabio, he was too easily duped yet never was there one more "easily duned" than himself, or to whom the epithet "poor fool" more thoronghly applied As I said before he was sure—too sure of his own good fortune. I wished to excite his distrust and enmity sometimes, but this I found I con Id not do. He trusted me—yes! as much as in the old days I bad trusted hits. Therefore the catastrophe for bim most be sudden as well as fatal—perbaps, after all. it was better

During my frequent visits to the Villa I #aw much of my child Stella, She became passionately attached to me—poor Uttle thing!—her iore was a mere natural instinct, had she bat known It. Often, too, her nurm. Assaau* weskf bring ber to my botol to ao hour or so with tne. This was a great treat to ber, and her delta tit reached it* whm I took ber on my ku«e und told hmr a I'alry story—her fmvmsrli-e one being that of a good little firl fsapa $wldealy wmi away, a.«d how tfas Utile jri.-J grieved for hlso till at Ja»-i *.meklnd fairies helped her to fiad him avail*. I at 8m setsewhat

afraid of old Assunta,—she bad been my nurse,—was it possible that sho woukl not recognize me? The first time I met her in my new character I almost held my breath in a sort of suspense— but the good old woman was nearly blind, aud I think she could scarce mako out my lineaments. Sho was off an entirely different nature to Giacomo the butler, sho thoroughly believed her master to be dead, as indeed she had every reason to do, but, strange to say, Giacomo did not The old man had a fanatical notion that his "young lord" could not have died so suddenly, and he grew so obstinate on the point that my wife declared he must be going crazy. Assunta, on the other hand, would talk volubly of my death and tell me with assured earnestness "It was to be expected, Eecelenza— he was too good for us, and the Saints took him. Of course our Lady wanted him—she always picks out the best among us. Tho poo* Giacomo will not listen to me, he grows weak and childish, and he loved the master too well—better," and here her voice \*uld deepen into reproachful solemnity, "yes. better actually than St. Joseph himself And of course one is punished for such a thing. I always knew my master would die young—he was too gentlo as a baby, and too kindhearted as a man, to stay hero long."

And she would shake her gray head and feel for the beads of her rosary, and mutter many an Ave for the repose of my soul. Much as I wished it I could never get her to talk about her mistress —it was the one subject 011 which sho was invariably silent. On ono occasion when I spoke with apparent enthusiasm of the beauty and accomplishments of the young Countess, she glanced at me with sadden and earnest scrunity—sighed—but said nothing. I was glad to see how thoroughly devoted sho was to Stella, and the child returned her affection with interest—and though as the Novomber days came 011 apace, my little ono looked far from strong. She paled and grew thin, her eves looked preteriiatiirally large and solemn, and she was very easily wearied. I called Assunta's attention to theso signs of ill health: she replied that she had spoken to the Countess but that "Madame" had taken no notice of the child's weakly condition. Afterwards I mentioned the niattei myself to Nina, who merely smiled gratefully in my face and answered. 'Really, my dear Conte. -nu aro too good! There is nothing tho matter with Stella, her health is excellent sho eats too many bonbons perhaps, and is grow ing rather fast, that is all. How kind you aro to think of her. But. 1 assuro you, she is quite well."

I did not feel so sure of this—yet was obliaed to conceal my anxiety, as over-much concern about tho child would not have been in keeping with my assumed character. [To bi Continued.]

Metallic Iron from Shooting Star*. A learned Danish professor has come to the conclusion that every year the weight of the earth is augmented by the falling on its surface of metallic iron in very fine powder, and that this iron, which comes to from shooting stars, falls almost con tinually, sometimes alone and sometimes mixed w'ith rain or snow. In all snow he found iron in appreciable quantities, and in a state of fine subdivision. He has in this way procured material enough to form a •mail charm, which one of his friends wears attached to his watch chain.—London Tit-Bits.

If not speedily relieved, may lead to serious Issues. Where there is difficulty of breathing, expectoration, or soreness of the throat and bronchial tubes, with a constantly irritating cough, the very best remedy is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It removes the phlegm, soothes irritation, stops coughing, and induces repose. As an emergency medicine, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral should be In every household. "There is nothing better for coughs than Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I use no other preparation."—Annie S. Butler, 169 Pond st., Providence. R. I. "I suffered severely from bronchitis but was

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It saved my life." —Geo. B. Hunter, Goose River, N. S. "About a year ago I took the worst cold that ever a man had, followed by a terrible cough. The best medical aid was of no avail. At last I began to spit blood, when it was supposed to be all over with me. Kverv remedy failed, till a neighbor recommended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took half a teaspoonful of this medicine, three times a day, regularly, and very soon began to improve. My cough left me, my sleep was undisturbed, my appetite returned, my emaciated limbs gained flesh and strength and, to-day, thanks to the Pectoral, I am a well man." —11. A.
