For a moment Jim stands dumb with
c(.msterrta'lon at the announcement of
this intention ; but, reflecting that it
.utd not be a whit more irrational to
a.ternpt to reason with a madman who
had reached the padded -room stage of
lunacy, than with his present compan•
1011, he contents himself with spying :
"And supposing that you do not learn

thing so impossible 1"
hut as the hours go by, the possibility
becomes a probnbiliiy, the probability a
certainly ! Midnight comes, and the
closed telegraph-olI ee puts a final ex-
tinguisher upon the expectation, which
no one but the unhappy lover had ever
entertained, that Florence would be en-
lightened before the dawn of another
day as to the place whither her two
truants have fled.
Burgoyne has accompanied his friend
to on his last importunate visit to the
now -going -to -bed and justly -incensed 1i!
Bis. Ile has been ashamed again to pre-
sent himself al theso-often-uttacked door,

negative—curter and less suave than the
last one --that follows it ; has heard the
deor shut again, and the hopeless foot-
steps that compo slabgering down to him."You will go home now Y"
"'Perchance, Ingo, I shall ne'er
go horse 1"'
replies Byng; and, though he is com-
pelled to admit that there is no longer
any possibility of his to•night obtaining
the information for which he so madlyhungers, that there can consequently be
no question of his setting off by one of
lite early trains, since he would not know
in which direction to go, and might only
be fleeing further from her whom he
would fain rejoin, yet he still keeps with
fevered pertinacity to his project of
spending the night a 1a belle efoile.
,Finding it impossible to dissuade hits.
Jim resigns himself to bearing him com-
pany. it is with very little reluctance
that he does so. There is no truer truism
than that all sorrows, however moun-
tainous, are more easily carried under
God's high roof than man's low ones, and
he who docs not sleep has for con►pensa-
tion that at least he can have no (tread-
le' waking. So the two men wander
at;out all night in the boon southern air.
There nee not many hours of a sum-
mer's night during which the stir of life
has ceased and has not yet reawaked in
an Italian town, the talk and the tread
and the mulebehls, and the flutes of the
voiceful people lasting on till near the
small hours, and beginning again ere
those hours havo had strength to grow
big. But yet there is a space of time
when Florence lies silent, baring her
beauty to the constellations alone; add
under this unfamiliar and solemn and
twisty aspect the two night -wanderers
see her. They see her Carnpanilo
"Commencing with the skies,"
with no distracting human bustle about
her feet ; they see her Perseus battailing
beneath her Loggia, and her San Giorgio
standing wakeful at his lost on Or son
Michele. They see her smiling palace
rows, tier stealing river. and her span-
ning bridges --palaces out of which no
head peeps, n river on rt►ich no boat

rings. They have all her churches--

chunk shadow, how he had hied to las
himself up into a more probable sem
bfance of pleasurein her expected and
dreaded caresses. There seems to be
scarcely an inch of the way when he has
not had some harsh or weary thought of
her; tie is thankful when the brief tran-
sit, that has appeared to him so long. is
over. And yet the change is only from
the sharp sting ot- recollected unkind -
!losses to the dull bruising ache of anti-
cipated ill. A garcon is sweeping out the
salon, Inc the hour is yet much beyond
eight, so Jim goes into the dreary little
dining -room, where Ivo places are Inid
with coffee -cups and rolls. Only two.
And, Brough he knows that nothing
short of a miracle could have already re -

het to come down to breakfast, yet the
ocular demonstration of tho fact that her

Jim refrains from saying how likely
this culmination of his trend's woes has
nl.peored to hits, since i' would have
been the height of the illogical for the
is • !Merchants to have put themselves to
extreme inconvenience in order to escape
from n person to whom they immediately
afterwards gave the power of following
them. Ile refrains from saying i1, be-

soling power the "told you so" philoso-

"Do ! \Nkat is !hero to do? What

"1 believe that in point of tact lie

know that a Buffalo does." replies Bur-
goyne, with a matter-of-fact dryness,
which proceeds less from want of sym-
pathy. than from an honest belief that it
is the best and kindest method of deal-
ing with Byng's heroics.
"Shot through (ho heart !" murmurs
the tatter, repeating his own phrase as if
he found a dismal pleasuie in it. "1 had
always been told that it Mai a painless
death; 1 now know to the contrary."
"Shall you stay here? entero is no
longer any use in your staying here."
"'There is no longer any use in my do-
ing anything, or leaving anything un-

which Burgoyne looks back as upon n
blur of wrolchelness, with distinct
points of pain sticking up here and
them out of it.. it is a blur ; for it 1s n
time -space, wi'hout the usual limitations
and divisions of time; a week not cut
up into orderly lengths of day and night,
but in which each has puzzlingly run
into and over•lnppet each other. 'There
