Ordinarily the. count was not a nitan
addicted to drink, Oeca,,,ionuily, as we
have before remarked, he IvuuId take
witis to excess, bu� the occasions We re
rare. Oil tho present, h-owever, he had
drank frnely, th,)ugh Zanoni did not
oWerve it. Remember, the Man had
been a slave to his wrtith for a long
time. Tile man Nvboju liv bad stopped

� Since his meeting that ulorning'with
Isabel he had not, only nursed his hot
anger, and breathed continuous impre-
cations upon Lhe I)lebeiiin PILinter, be-
lieving hina to be ;I demon and very
ghoui; 6ut the plotting marquis had
been constantly by his side, Whispering
int,i-w lik ear I iase and revengeful
thoughts.
So that -now, with ittl Me-inTluefte

brought to it cliniax in this meeting,
Zancini founil 114inself voillronted by a

suspected even ,I. Moiety of the truth—
he utight have found ineant; of avoid-
ing the catastrophe thiti. was to come.
"Di(I you wisli to speak to me, Sig-
nor Count?"
A few speol,nds elapsed before the
count could gain his brefith. I'lle

voice. so calak and do musical, seemed
to touch ills match and the powder in

poisonous reptile, that luill:4 fly night

, 'Count Denarol" relurned the ar-
tist in blank astonishment, and with-
out the least porticle of angar, "will
