froM the proportions his vision had as-

" How perfectly weird the Vision of
Sin is !" Imogene continued. "Don't
you like weird things ?" .
" Weird things ?" Colville reflected.
" Yes ; but I don't see very much in
-them any more. The fact is, they don't
seem to come to anything in particular."
"Oh, I think -they do' I've had
dreams that I've lived -on for days. Do
you ever hate prophetic dreams?"
" Yes • hilt they never come -true.
When they Oa I know that I didn't have
them." -
"What do you mean?" -
"1 mean that we are all so fond of the
marvellous that we can't trust .ourselves
about any experience that seems super-
natural. If a ghost appeared to me I
should want him to prove it by at least
two other reliable, disintereeted wit-
nesses before I believed my own account
of the matter."
" Oh I" cried the girl, half puzzled,
half amused. "Then, of course, you
don't believe in ghosts-?"
" Yes • I expect to be one myself some
day. But I'm in no hurry to mingle
with them."
Imogene smiled vaguely, as if the talk
pleased. her, even when it mocked the
fancies and whims whicheafter so many
generations that have indulged them,
she was finding so fresh and new in her
turn.
" Don't you like to walk' by the side
of a. river ?" she asked, increasing her
eager pace a little. "1 feel as if it were
bearing me along."
I feel as if I were carrying it, said
Colville. "It's as fatiguing as walking
on railroad ties." _
"Oh, that's too bad!" cried the girl.
How can you be so prosaic ? 'Should
you ever have believed that the sim could
be so hot in January? And look at those,
ridiculous green hill -sides over the river
there! -Don't you, like. it to be winter
when it is winter ?"
She did eot seem to have expected
anythingfrom Colville but an impulsive
acquiescence, but she listened while he
defended the mild weather. "1 think
it's very well for Italy," he said.
has always seemed to me—that is, it
seems to use now for the first time, but
one has to begin the other way—as if
the seasons here had worn themselves
out like the turbulent passions of the
people. I dare say the winter was much
fiercer in the times of the Bianchi and
Neri."
"Oh, how beautiful ! Do you really
believe that ?"
" No I don't know that I do. But I
shouldn't have much difficulty in prov-
ing it, 1 think, to the sympathetic under-
standing."
" I wish you would prove it to mine.
It sounds so pretty, I'm sure it must be
- true."
"Oh, then, it isn't necessary. 1'11 re-
serve my arguments for Mrs. Bowen.
" You had better. She isn't at all ro-
mantic. She, says its very well for me
she isn't—that her being matter-of-fact
lets me be as roma,ntic as I like."
"Then Mrs. Bowen isn't as romantic
the would like to be if she hadn't
charge of a romantic young lady ?"
• "Oh, 1 don't siy that. Dear me! I'd
no idea it could be so hot in January."
As they strolled along beside the long
hedge of laurel, the carriage slowly fol-
lowing them -at a little distance, the sun
heat strong upon the white road, blotch-
ed here and there with the black irregu-
lar shadow of the ilexes; The girl undid
the pelisse across -her breast, with a fine
impetuosity, and let it swing open as she
walked. She stopped suddenly. "Hark
What bird was that ?"
It was the nightingale, and not the
lark," suggested. ColvilleSlazily.
" Oh, don't you. think Romeo and
Juliet is divine ?" denianded Imogene,
promptly dropping the question of the
bird.
" I don't know about Romeo," return-
ed Colville, " but it sometirnes occur-
red -to me that Juliet was rather forth -
putting."
"You know she wasn't. It's my fay-
oriteplay. I could go every night. It's
perfectly amazing to me that they can
pay anything else." •
You would like it . five hundred
nights in the year, like Hazel Kirke ?
That would be' a good deal of Romeo,
not to say Juliet."
" They ought to do it out ef respect
to Shakespeare. Don't you like Shake-
speare?
" Well, I've- seen the time when I pre:
ferred Alexander Smith," said Colville
evasively.
"Alexander Smith. Who in the world
is Alexander Smith ?"
- " How recent you are! Alexander

about the year 1850."

" No ; I'm a great deal moretract le

"What kind of books do you like to

"Oh, no kind. I think we ought to
get all our books out of the library."
"Do you never like to talk in earn-
est?" , 1 1 ' • 1
"Well, not often," said Colville.
"Because, if you do, you can't say with
a _good conscience afterward that You
were only in fun,"
" Oh ! And do you always like to talk
so that you can get out of things after-
ward?" ,
"No. I didn't say that, did I ?"
" Very nearly, I should think."
‘' Then I'm glad I didn't quite.",
"1. like people to be outspoken --to

They had come to a point where
some moss -grown, weather-beaten Sta-

traversed the bosky stretch between the
avenues of the Cascine. "Ah, how

and giving himself to the rapture th, t a
blackened garden statue imparts to one
who beholds it from the vantage-gro Ind

"Do you remember that story of
Heine's," he resuteed after a mom nt,
"of the boy whosteals out of the old

of the garden statue, fallen among the
rank grass of the ruinous parter es'
And long afterward, when he 1 oks•
down on the sleep of the dying girl
where she lies on the -green sofa, it se ms
to him that she and that statue are. the

"Oh !" deeply sighed the young girl.
" No ; never read it. Tell me, what it
is. I must read it."
. " The rest is all talk—very good talk,
but I doubt whether it would interest
you. He goes on to talk of a great many
things—of the way 'Bellini spoke French,
for example. He says it was blood-
curdling, horrible cataclysmal. He
brought out the poor French words and
broke them upon the_ wheel, till you
thoughtthe4whole world must,give way
-with a thunder -crash. 'A dead hush
reigned in the room; the women' did
not know whether to faiet or fly ; the
men looked down at their pantaloons,
and tried tO realize what you had on."
"Oh, how perfectly delightful! how
shameful !" cried the girl.. I must read
it. What is it in ! What is the name
of the story ?"
"It isn't a story," said Colville. "Did
you ever see anything lovelier. than these
statues?" . •
" Noe" said Imogene. "Are hey
good ?"
" Iley are much better than go
they are the very worst rococo."
" What makes you say they are b
tiful, then ?" '
"Why, don't you see? They dom.
memorate youth, gaiety, brilliant, joy-
ous life. That's what that kind of sta-
tues were made for—to look on at rich,
young, beautiful, people and their gal-
lantries ; to be danced before fine ladies
and gentlemen playing at shepherds and
shepherderses ; to be ; driven past. by
rnarchesses and contessinas flirting in
carriages; to be hung with scarfs and
wreaths; to be parts' of eternal fete8
champetres. .Don't you see how bored
they look? When I first came to Italy
I should have detested and ridiculed
their bad art; but now they're exquisite
—the worie,the better."

easily.
"Mrs. >Bowen would. It's a pity Mrs.
Bowen isn't here with us. Effie,
if I lift you up to one of those statues,
will you kindly ask it if it doesn't re-
member a y:oung American signore
who Was here -just before the French
Revolution? I don't believe it's forgot-

. " No,' no," said Imogene. "It's time
we were walking back. Don't you like

you would if yoti like those romantic
things. I used to like Scott: so ninch !
