labor of his hands •or by that of his

nen gallant inaniter, a dignified bearing,
and a medical voice. Of these Javan -
takes be intended to make the most.
There were wealthy heiresses in the
world, and he intended to woo and win
one.
Yet the count had not been very hue -
useful in bus love adventures so far. At
Naples he had nut •nith a celebrated
Aznerican heiress. He hal felt supra

es, he saw and loved Inez Lynne,
Count Montalti was essentially a sol -
fish man. No matter what the coat, he
never refused himself thegratification
of any wish. Now that for the first
time he love&, and. loved. paseionately, be
determined that at all risk the beautiful
• young girl should be wooed and won. He
knew that a, marriage with her would
ruin all his prospects, for she had no
money; but he cared nothing for that.
All that Count Rinaldo cared or then,
or at any future time, was the gratin -
cajole of his,own selfish wishes.
He had resolved that a private mar-
riage should take place as soon as he
could persuade Inez to consent. He ask-
ed himself what was to be done after
that. A hundred things en:tilt happen.
He would trust to fate and fortnae. The
present was alone worth living for; the
future inust take cere of itself. That be
might desert the younggirl he had taken
j
such pains to win was ust possible. The
idea, flashed once or twice across his
mind, but he dismissed it, as he did
every enter thought, and dwelt only
upon the happiness of winning the love-
ly, innocent child, who trusted him so
implicitly.
It was this reckless, unprincipled, sel-
fish men whom the poor girl intrusted
with her love and her life. .At first the
thought of a secret manlike was dis-
tasteful to her proud, high spirit. It was
not so she felt, that the last of tht
Monteleones should be won; but he
knew her generous nature, and appealed
to that. He dwelt upon the poetry and
romance of their love, growing like a
beautiful flower in the shade, unlike the
common vulgar love that sought the
light of 'day. He appealed to her gener-
osity. She was so young, so childlike
in her simplicity, she must be pardoned
that site yielded to his fervent prayers,
and promised to become his wife in sec-
ret.
The count undertook all the arrange -
meets. Inez bribed old Juanita., telling
her she was going to spend a long day
out in the grounds. A. carriage good
waiting a short distance dotvn the road,
and no one saw 'her as she stole from
her home,
No one missed the lonely girl. Cater-
ina, sat all day in madame's room; Me,
who was supposed to -wait upoi the
young lady, said nothing of her absence.
When she returned late 3n the evening,
with a pale, frightened face, no one eaw
her but Nita, who was waiting for her;
elle kissed the trembling girl, and made
her drink some wine, telling her she had
walked too far, and must not go out
alone again. In her heart, •the old ser-
vant deeply pitied the solitary fate and
lonely lot of the signorina.
Even while the "glamour" lasted, Inez
never liked to remember that day—the
hurried flight, the half -confused eere-
mony that bourid her forever to Rinaldo,
the introduction to her husband's friend,
Luigi Careen°, the hasty return. Even
the passionate thanks, the loving words,
and tender caressen of her husband, did
not efface these things from her mind.
Sho was not quite happy; she did not
like to remember that she had helped to
deceive Madame 'Alonteloone. In after
years she could not emiure to thiek how
she had been duped and betrayed herself.
For six whole weeke, de.spite this one
shadow, her life was like a dream of ro.
metre. Ifer young husband seemed day
by day to adore her more aucl more,
They spent tome and happy hours toge-
ther it the orange grove, where he had
first told her of his love, Tre never cean
ea to thank her for whet he -called her
"generoue efecrifieen Neither of them
thought =eh of their future, or of
how their illeetarred union would end.
For six weeks Inez drank deeply of the
mip of luippinese, Day by day she grew
fonder of the handsotne, kindly man,
whose every word seemed like lt caress.
Only onee dm she ever ask of the future,
end then he told her that, whet' ell /teed
or emcey was ended, ho should go to
Madame Monteleone, And claim his bride.
It was easy for the skilful, aecomplisited
teen of the world to delve that 111110-
eent child., and nutke everythilig
hie to her.

tion and held a high place there. :Per-
haps his absence had piqued her; eer-
tamly iter other suitors did not shine
in the presence of this higlx-bred, hand-
some count.
It is possible to repent even of the
realization of our most ardent wishes.
Count Pinata° found it so, although he
never showed it to his young wife; a
thousand times he wished that she had
the wealth of Donna- Maria, then he need
never repent, need never leave her; 'but
affairs wre growing desperate with birn,
and he resolved to take counsel with
his devoted and inairnate friend, Luigi
Carnello. To Wyehe confided all. His
imprudent marriage was already known
to him; but now he told him of his em-
barrassed eiretunstances, and the changed
manner of the laeiress toward bim.
'What a pityit Is you have bur-
dened yourself with a .wife, Rinaldo,"
- said his friend. "I always thought it a
nost fooUsh thiug todo."
"But she is so beautiful, and I loved
her so," said the count.
"Yeti:have indulged in a very great
luxury, let me tell you," said his friend;
"it is seldom that people in your posi,
tion or mine can afford to marry foie
love, I do not see what you can do.
You might follow the heiress to Madrid,
and marryher, but for the wile you
have here.",
"A wife that no one knows anything
abottt," said. the count; "that is a secret
only known to you."
Then the two men paned arid looked
• at each other. In the counsels of the
wise there is goodness and wisdom; in
the tounsels of the wicked, sin abounds.
"The only thing I can see for you, the
only way of escape, is by freeing your-
self, if such a thing be possible, from
the tie you have contracted," said Car -
natio.
"I do not see how it could be clone,"
was the reply of the man who, three
months ago, had declared he must wilt
his love or die.
"Fortunately for you," said Luigi,
"your wife seems to be a- sbnple, un-
suspecting child. It would be easy to
deceive her, if you like to do so."
"I would not hurt ber 'for the world,"
cried the count.
"There ie no need for that," sitid his
friend; "it can be. managed; and she, far
from suspecting you, will mourn over
you as one of the best and truest of Men
—sone whom the gods loved,' and so died
young."
"But I love her still," he said. "I do
not like to leave her."
"In that woe, why waste my time'and
yours?" said Luigi. "The alternative
lies very pininiy before you. If you
remain here you will certainly be im-
prisoned for debt, and so lose everything,
Even if you do remain, you can-
not claim your wife, You have no
means of supporting her. There is noth-
ing but ruin before you in Seville. Free
yourself; follow Donna Maria to Ma-
drid; marry her, and you rill be one of
the richest mettle Spain."
"You talk of freeing myself," said the
count, impatiently, "as though' it Were
easy to do so."
"So it is," interrupted Luigi, "i£ you
will only follow my advice; but, reneenn
ber this—my brains are my capital, and,
if our plot succeeds, I shall expeet
very handsome aeknowledgment of my
ekill."
Thee, in a 1w, voice, for the words
had an ugly sound, the traitor unfolded
hes plan. At first the count listened
impatiently; then the foreible style in
which his companion spoke gained. upon
itim. He sighed as he listened, and sat
for some moments in perfeet silence.
"It is a clever idea, cettabileen he said.
"But do not be impatient, Luigi. 1 do
not like to think that I .8411 never see
that beautiful fate again. You think
there is no fear of deteetion?"
"Nat the least," replied Luigi. 'That
tuniuspecting wife of yours will listen to
me and believe; she will make -no irt-
quiries; she will not dare to draw down
the auger of her friends when there will
-
be no one to protect her,"
Evett his hardened heart softened as
Inc uttered therm few words. What had
the hitioeent girl done, that she should
be Bo cruelly deceived?
"New- mind," were Tangc parting
words," you begin this evening. We
must have it all over hi ten days, and
you mutt go to Madrid."
CHAPTER XX.
While her huftbiold plotted With his
frimids, Inez was, wondering what made
him tate that evening above all others.
She had something to give itim—her
first present to him—eed slie had 'vent

was a simple, pretty gift, a woven dein

be, how he would kiss her and thank
her, "for, lie loves me so much, my poor e

At the 'appointed time she stood near

"Do not talk to nee so. Rinaldo,"
she cried; "you tortur ."
"Then I will not, if it grieves you,'
ha returned.; but several times that
evening he reverted to the • cousin
who would take his title.
In after nears 'Inez remembered
how that evening, after he left, her,
he returned to her side, and folded
her in bid arras as though he would
net er release her. Again she trollied,
and asked him if he was falling in
love with her afresh. Poor girlh she
little dreamed how or when she
should see Rinaldo Montalti again.
The following evening he did not
come. She waited by the orange -trees
until it grew late, and that night Inez
first learned the torture of suspense,
He must be ill, she knew. How she
raved blindly, madly, against he t
fate He was ill, and he could not
even go to see him or nurse him;
there was no means by which she
could ascertain how he was, or any-
thing about him. Was ever fate so
sad as hers? Madame Monteleone
hardly knew the pale fete that greeted
her the eollowing morning. All that
day the girl lived in a torturing fever
of suspense; it seemed that- evening
would never come. Long before the
time she was at the trysting-place,
watching, with wistful eyes, the road
by which he should come. There was
no sigri; her eyea grew dim with tears,
and her hands burned like fire. The
euspense seemed killing her, when,
in the fax dista.nee, she ,saw some one
corning along the high road. One
glance showed it was not her hus-
band; it was .Luigi Carnello, looking
grave and anxious. Did he feel any
sorrow or remorse when his eyes fell
upon I that pale mournful face? It
was an changed,' he hardly knew it.
"What is it," she cried. "Where
Is my husband? What are you tome
to tell me?" .
Gravely, end with all seeming kind-
ness, he told her that Rinaldo lay ill,
and that he had begged him to sea
his wife, and give her many loving
messages for him.
"Can I see him?" cried the poor
young girl. "Remember he is fny
husnand. Let me see him."
"It would be quite impossible," he
replied. "Rinaldo will hasten to you
as soon aa he is well."
A half smile of relief quivered for
a moment upon her lips, and ehe
said, more •eheerfully, "Then, he is
not very ill; he will soon recover?'
"We hope so," was the reply; "but
mafortnnately the fever is very pre.
valent, and he has shown some symp-
totes we do not like. The best medi-
cine that can be given him will be
a cheerful meesage from you. If I
tell him you look sad or unhappy he
will grieve deeply.

said. "1 need not, if you: tell' me lig

erly, that evening, When hie friend
sought hirn.
"She will not die of grief" replied
Luigi, with a cynical smile. "She
became quite cheerful before 1 • left
her. She will soon be consoled, I
imagine."
So, day by day, regardless of the
agony ruthlessly inflicted upon that
young heart, the Cruel plot was car-

Twain's Reputation.
Mark Twain was talking about the
faanous robbery in hie beautiful coun-
try house, says the Boston Herald.
"Had I been livingin Hartford,"
,
he said whimsically, 'some of my
Hartford friende, would certainly have
accused me of robbing myself. They
have a poor opinion of me in that
town.
' "Marshall Jewett, the ex -Governor,
used to take up the collection in our
Hartford cburch. They never asked
me to take it up. I fretted a good
deal over this matter. '
"'Site here, Jewett,' I said one day,
• 'they let you take up the collection
every Sunday, but they would never
let me do it. '
""Oh, yes, they would,' said Jewett
--1,hat is, with a bell punch, like the

Origin of Dominoes.
The origin of -dominoes has been attrib-
uted variously to the Greeks, the Chin-
ese and news, but a Paris eonteinporary
hes discovered that the ever popular
game owes its invention to the Benedic-
tines of Mont Cassin. Two of tho order
were sent into lengthy retreat, and they
hit upon a method of whiling away the
Sparc time without infringing the rubs
of silence by playing with square stones
upon whieh VallCUS dots were inaeeecl.
While perfecting themselves they nerfeet-
ed or rather eeueved the game, and. were
accustomed to frequently repeat when
playing in the evening Psalms from es -
pets, especially the first, that is Psalm
eix, which begins "Dixit DOrnitIlla Dom-
ino meo," When the retreat wsts over
the game was soot" known in the convent.
Then its fame spread to the village and
beyond. The verse was reduced to one

Queer Sleeping Places.
One of our large, wild animals that
. sleep through the winetr is the badger.
His burrow extends a considerable dis-
tance and winds about as if the occu-
pant meant to make it as difficult as
possible for his enemies to storm his
fortress, When the winter comes he
bars the doers by closing the entrance
with soil, which not only makes his
dwelling all the more secure, but helps
to keep out the cold. Then he retires
to 'the farthest corner and coils himself
up on a nice, soft bed of well -dried. grass.
Sometimes the badger will occupy a "fox
earth," which for some reason has been
deserted. by Reyeard. The squirrel also
goes to sleep in his cosy nest among the
trees, though he wakens occasionally to
have a feed of nuts which he has stored
in an out-of-the-way corner known only
to himself.
