would have cot .him much ' to write ;
but now he felt little, for ' fierce anger
crowded out grief and regret, He had not
in the least realized that he was never again
to eee Francesca ; he ceulcl realize nothmg
but that he had been nasulted—gros.sly in-
sulted-abythe man .who should have . been
his beet friend. And yet, though he was
still beside himself witlepassion, he was all
the time aware of an inner voice urging him
to forgive.
After a while he was seized with a strong
desire to start afresh which comes to every
wounded soldier, whether he fights in the
legions of the Seen or the Unseen. His share
of the wrong must' first be set right ; 'that
was as clear as it was hard. He doubted if
he could bring himeelf to do it, but heveent
so far as to go down to the salotto, take out

and. the struggle over. '
Carlo .could not rest till he had done all
that °mild be done, so he went out into the
cold dawn, and, 'making his way to the
Casa Bella, dropped. his .missive in the
letter -box. Then, when all was over, when
he knew that for the last time he was

now that • his anger had .passed, • -grief
claimed him for her own. His betrothal
was at an end ; Francesca was no longer
his ; even a farewell was denied him. With

was that only now did he fully take in the
idea. What was Captain Britton? What
were all the insults in the world before the'a

• How he got home he never knew, but he
vaguely remembered finding his way to his
own room, and seeing through a inist the
sword, and the red letters of " Aspro-
raonte" beneath. Then, in his great
anguish, he had cried aloud, "Strengthen
me, 0 God! that I, too, may be faithful
till death." .

"Count Carossa presents his compliments

Britton, the count will call upon him in the
afternoon.'
"Very happy to see him, Ern sure," said
Mr. Britton, who was the soul. of hospital-
ity. "Perhaps, Signor Donati, you would
be so good as to frame a polite message for
me and deliver it to themessenger—or stay,

This done, they all adjourned to the deck,
where before long they were joinedbyCount
Carona, a•fine-looking manef two or three-
and -thirty, to whom Captain Britton took
very kindly. There was much amusing
discussion as to the merits of the two
yachts, then of Mr. Britton's homeward
route, during ;Which the count discovered
that Francesca and her father were living

push the acquaintance, eliciting very easily
an invitation. to dinner on the following
Wednesday.
Carlo, after the count's arrival, had kept
sedulously in the background, and had said
bualittle. Happening to glance at him
once, Mr. Britton was struck by the strange
expression of his face. He ' hastily turned
his eyes toward Francesca; she was smiling
in answer to some polite nothing addressed
to her by the count. •
The afternoon was spent in rambling
about Naples, showing Uncle .George as
many lions as he cared to sec; then .theywe-
turned to the yacht, to that curious English
meal called "tea "—a new experience to
Carlo—and it was arranged that they should

". I have something to say to you, ecvrana ;
let Mt linger behind the others; there is no
hotter place on earth than these 'streets. of
Pompeii,' and I think we know them well
enough." •
,
The Whole eaarty had driven over early
on' the Monday. morning to show , Mr.
Britton the more recent excavations ; he
had been to Pompeii before, but many years
ago. '
To Carlo and Francesca, however, those
old gray streets and ruined temples were
perfectly familiar, and Francesca was .not
sorry to follow out Carlo's suggestion, and
dispatched Sibyl to tell the others that they
would wait in • the Temple of Veous till
their return. ' •
" At which message ,you may be sure
Uncle George will langh, ' she said. "Had
we been wise in our generation, Carlo, we
should have chosen the Temple of Isis, but
then this is my favorite ; and, after all, we
are proof against teasing now."
Carlo smiled sadly as he looked aeross the
beautiful expanse of country. On one side,
beyond the mined streets, lay the verdant
Campagna, bounded by Vesuvius. arid
Somme, ; on the other was a yet more lovely
view of sea end mountains, With .the White
houses of Oastellamere gleaming intthe sun-
shine. '
"We have not chosen 'a very shady
pliteetl said Francesca. " But, see, there
is just a little patch of shadow' down there.

'Captain Britton was so much startled
that for a minute he could not speak,only
the color rose te his forehead and his eyes
opened ' wider. In all ,his trouble and.
anxiety Carlo could not help observing that
he bore A eornical resemblance to the. orim-
son shade over the lamp, with its . owl's
head and round, staring eyes. How was he
to make this man, of all men in the world,
understand Nita's position and sympathize
with its ' difficulties? While he hesitated
how best to her case without divulg-
ing too much, the captain reoovered his
broth.
"Do I understand that you mean to
turn actor ?" he askea, in a sort of hoarse.
roar. . •
Tone and manner were alike overbearing..
Ciao made one of his dignitiedlittle bows
,
and said gravely, " Merliao has offered me
reasonable terms, and Piste has long wished
that I should go on the stage. Had I only
my own wishee to consult I should certainly
not choose the career of a pablio singer
but, sir; I promised my mother to shield
Anita, and I must do rnybest—I must thiak
of her."
"1 should have thought you were bound.
to think of your promised wife, said the
captain,' wrathfully—" to consult her
wishes."
' "Francesca agrees with me " said Carlo;
" sho would never keep me 'back from a
duty.".
"Francesca is a fool, then. Duty,
indeed 1 A datet to mix yourself up with a,
set of idle, profligate fellows 1 A duty to
pander to the taste of the dissolute, and
play the buffoon on the stege, and be
clapped by all the scum of the town 1"
• Carlo by a great effort strangled the
words Of angry remonstrance which rose to
hialips, and tried to understand the feelings
of an Englishman with Puritan .traditions.
He would at least try to explain the state
of affairs patiently. . •
"It is very hard for me to understand the
view you take of the stage, sir," he began ;
." we Italians honor andrestect our theatre .
;
it is not, &Wyatt would say, the haunt or
the dissolute, but the resort of the whole
people_,,
The captain interrupted him ; he was all
the more angry because his companion had
managed, so far, to exercise a well-bred
restraint. Some devil prompted him to
,
rouse the Italian's latent passion.
o 1 know
"Yes," he said,sneeringly,
your national tendencies well enough, but I
had thought you: were superior to your
countrymen. I see I was wrong ; your are
as frivolous and pleasure -seeking as the rest
of the lot ; it was well said of you Italians
that you were only fit for artists' models
and the operatic stage." •
, Carlo sprung to his feet, fire flashing
from his eyes. •
. "No man is called onto sit still and
hear his country insulted," he cried. "The
words are not worthy of you, sir ; I am sure
you will retract them."
" If I retract them in part I cretainly
still apply them to you," said Captain
Britton.. " What haveyou proved yourself
but fickle and frivolous? You have alto-
eether deceived ine." ,
His patriotic feelings somewhat smoothed,

The Trolley Goes.
New York Electraccd World: A striking
example of the efficienca of the trolley may
be seen by New Yorkers who live in Orange.
Talking about the mule and horse going,'
the trolley Can beat them at their own •
game, for it certainly goes at least 50 per
cent. faster—retiring the animals at the
same time. On the new electric line just
opened between Newark and Orange the
time between the terminals of the line has
been reduced from an hour and seven
minutes to forty-two minutes. And yet
some people persist in wondering why the
trolley system is e favorite and. why the
receipts of a road increase as soon as the
horse is discarded and the electric motor:
Put fit it's place. Just consider the number
of friends the new electric line will make
and the • number of extra 25 -minute .naps
that will be taken in, the morning. The
wonder is, not that, electrieity is so fre-
quently .introduced, but that horse cars
should be tolerated at all when the railway
coinpanies can be persuaded into using
electricity. ' , • . • .
