_Mrs. Bowen did not responcl to the
question of placating and ptiuishing her

went back to Madame tre elli and to the
other elderly ladies, in the room that

merely with unabated joy, but with a
zest that seemed only to freshen from

that Miss Graham was behaving badly,

•
shade Of mocking in Mir Graham's
yoke.
The great outer door of the hotel was
, locked, of course, and the --poor little
porter kept Colville thumping at it some
time before he unlocked it, full of sleepy
smiles and apologies. " I'm sorry to
wake you up, said Colville) kindly.
.",It is my duty,"' said th porter with
1
amieble heroism. He dis bargedan-
other duty by lighting a whole new
candle, which would be , et down to
Colville'e account, and went before him
to his room up the wide stairs, cold in
their white linen path, and on through -
the :crooked corridors haunted ; by the
ghotte of extinct tables (note,' and full
of goblin shadows. He had recovered a
nooedky suavity by the tinic he reached
Coltille's door, and bowed , imself out,
after lighting the candles w thm, with a
sweet plenitude of politetiess, which
Colville, even in his gloomy mood could
not help admiring in a man 0 his shirt
sleetes, with only one suspe der up.
It there had been a fire, c lville would
have liked to sit down befor it,a,nd take
an not:aunt of hie feelings,b t the atmos-
phete of a bed -chamber in Florentine
hotel, at half past three o clock on a
winter morning is not one th t invites to
meditation ; and he made este to get
into bed, with nothing el arer in his
Mina than a shapeless sens• of having
been trifled with. He ough not to have
gone to a dancing party, to egin with,
and then he certainly ought not to have
attempted to dance; so far he might
have been master of the si uation, ana
was responsible for it ; bat le was, over,
and above this, aware of not having
wished to. do either, of eying been
wrought upon against his Convictions to
- do both. He regarded now with supreme
loathing a fantastic purpose which he
had, formed while tramping round on
those; , women's dresses, of privately
taking lessons in dancing, and astonish -
f
ing Miss Grahm aat the nextball where
they met. Miss Graham ! What did
he den -for that child ? Or tirs. Bowen
either, for the mattet of that? Had he
comefeur thousand Miles to be used, to
be Played with, by them ? At this
point Colville was aware of the brutal
injustice ef his mood. They were ladies,
both!of them, eharming and good, and
he had beeo a fool ; that was all. It
was not the first time he had been e fool
for women. An inexpressible bitterness.
for that old wrong, which, ;however he
had been used to laugh at it and despise
it, had made his life. solitary`and barren,
poured upon his soul ; it was as if it had
happened to him. yesterday.
A :band of yourig men burst from one
of tliA narrow streets leading into the
pinta and straggled across -it, letting
theirvoices flare out upon the silence,
and then drop extinct one- by one. A
whole world of faded associations flush-
ed'again in Celvilie's heart. This was
Italy, ; this was Florence ; and • he
execrated the hour in/ which he had
dreatited of -returning. I

The next mornings sunshine dispersed'
the black mood of the night before; but
enough of Colville's self-diseeust m-
mainedeto determine him net to let his
rettrtt to Florence be altogether vain, or
his sojourn so idle as it had begun being.
Theetague purpose whieh he had cher-
of studying the past life .and char-

He believed that he could not only sup,
ply that brief historical 'sketch of Flor-
ence which Mrs. _Bowen had lamented
the want of, but he could make her
history speak an intelligible, an unmis-
takeable tongue in every monument of
the past, from the Etruscan wall at
FiesoIe to the cheap, plain, and taste-
less shaft raised to commemorate Italian
Unity in the next piazza. With sketches
frein his own pencil, illustrative of
points which he could not otherwise en-
force, he could make such a book on
Florence as did not exist, such wbook as
no one had yet thought of making.,

examine his catalogue, and see what
there was in it to his purpose. While

Colville heard a lady. asking for a book
in that perfect Italian which strikes
envy to the heart of the stranger suffi-
ciently versed in the language to know
that he never shall master it. .He rather
-rejoiced in his despair, however, as
an earnest of his renewed .intellectual
life. Henceforth his . life would be.
wholly intellectual. He did not regret
his little excursion into society; it had
shown him with dramatic sharpness how
unfit for it he was:
Good -morning !" said some one in a
bland under -tone full of a pleasant
recognition of the claims to quiet of a
place where some others were speaking
in their ordinary tones. .
Colville looked round on the Rev. Mr.
-Waters, and took • his friendly hand.
"Good -morning. ---glad to see you," he
answered.
Are you looking for that short
Florentine history for Mrs. Bowen's
little girl ?" asked Mr. Waters, inclin-
ing his head slightly for the reply.
"She mentionedlit to me."
By day Colville remarked more dis-
tinctly that the old gentleman was short
and slight, with a. yontlifol eagerness in
his face surviving on good terms with
the gray locks • that fell- down his
templesfrorn under the brim of his soft
felt hat. With the boyish sweetness of
his looks blended a sort ' of appreciative
shrewdness-, whieh pointed his smiling
lips slightly aslant in 'what seemed the
expectation rather than the intention of
humer. . •1
"Not exactly," said Colville, ex-
periencing a difficulty' in withholding
the 4ct that'll' some sort he was just
going to write a short Florentine his-
toryt and finding a certain pleasure in
Mrs. [Bowen's having remembered that
he had taken -an interest idEffie'sread-
ing. He had. a sudden wish to .tell Mr.
Waters of his plan, but this was hardly
the time or place. •
_
They now found themselves face- to
face with the librarian, and Mr. Waters
made a gesture of waiving himself in
Colville's favor. •
" No, no ?" said the latter; you had
better' ask. I am . going to put this
gentleman through rather an extended
course of sprouts." •, •
The librarian smiled with the help-
lessness of a foreigner who knows his
interlocutor's English but notthe mean-
ing of it.
" Oh, I merely wanted to aak," said
Mr. Waters, addressing the librarian,
and explaining to Colville, "whether
you had received that look on Savon-
arola yet. The German one."
d I shall see," -said the librarian, and
he went upon a quest that kept him
some minutes. ,
"You're not thinking of taking Savon-
arela's life, I suppose ?" suggested Col-
ville.
Oh no. Villarift book has covered
the whole ground forever, it seems to
me. It's a wonderful book. You've
read it ?"
• "Yes. It's a thing that makes you,
• feel that, after all, the Italians have,
only to make a real effort in any direc-
tion, and they go ahead of everybody
else. . What biography 'of the lett
twenty years can compare With it?"
"You're right, sir—you're eight,"
• cried the old man, enthusiastically.
"They're a gifted race, a people of _
• ,
genius.
"I wish for their , own sakes they'd
give their minds a little to generalship,"
•said Colville, pressed by the facts • to
hedge So-mewhat. •"They did get s• o
badly smashed in their last war,- poor
fellows."
"Oh, I don't think I should like them
• any better if they were better soldiers.
Perhaps the lesson of noble. endurance
• that they've given our times is all that
we have the right to demand of them in
the way of heroism; no one can say
they lack courage. And sometimes it
seems to me that in simply outgrowing
the different sortstof despotism that had
fastened upon them, till their broken
bonds fell away without- .pesitive effort
on their part, they showed a greater
sublimity than if they had violently con-
quered their freedom. Most 'nations
sink lower and lower under tyranny;
the 'Italians grew steadily more and
more civilized, more nobre, more gentle,
more grand. It was a wonderful spec-
tacle—like a human sOul perfected
through suffering and privation. Every
-period of their history is full of instrue-
tion. I find my ancestral puritanism
particularly appealed to by the puritan-
ism of Savonarola."
- " Then Villari hasn't satisfied you
that Savonarola wasn't a. protestant ?"
"Oh yes, he has. I said his puritan-
ism. Just now I'm interested in justify-
ing his failure to myself, for its. one of
the things in history that 1'de found it
hardest to accept. But ne eloubt his
puritanic state fell because lt was dreary
and ugly, as the puritanic etate always
has been. It makes its own virtues in-
tolerable; puritanism won't let you see
how good. and. beautiful' the Puritans
often are. It was inevitable • that
,••••.c.••••••••••••••••••••••
Savonarola's enendes should misunder-
stand and hate him."
• "You are one of the IDA men I should
have expected to find among the Arra-
biati,” said Colville. •
g Oh, there's a great deal to be said
for the iFlorentine Arrabiati,as well as
for the English Malignants, though" the
Puritans an neither .case would have
known how to say it. Savonarola per-
ished because he was excessive. I am
