It aai a fair etanlnf ssarijr tommer
and in Florence. The sutset rays lin
gered lovingly it aetmed on tle broad
valley t f tbe Arno, touching in a rosy
ties the xpurs of the Apennines and the
hills on its banks. The quiet, too-for
nr of the dav was over-lent i
charm, impressing in particular a trav
eler who was walking toward an uii
nrftcnticuM iun not far from the river.
The sU auger, an Englishman his dress
proclaimed him, was pleasant to ioo
at in a way. He was tall and well
formed, with very blonde hair and blue
eyes, and his features, too, unusually
good, but the mouth, which alight
mustache almost concealed, was a self
ish one when seen without its smile of
almost effeminate sweetness. 1 s it not
Dr. Holmes who tells us that God made
aU the features but the mouth, and we
alone are responsible for that?
The hand bag he omrrltd bore the name
Paul Courtland, but let us take a cur
sory giant at the owner's early history
and see what has bre.nghhim to Flor
ence. Though ill-starred as being born a
younger son in an English family of
rank, nevertheless on atuining his ma
jority he came into a goodly fortune left
him by a relative for whom he was
named. This did not last long. Paul
Courtland was weak and in Paris most
of the time, but for a while all went
well; his winning smile earned him many
friends. The men courted Jiis society
for his ready wit, and the women, whose
hearts he so easily won, pitied his mis
fortunes. At last, however, the day
came when he awoke to the fact that he
must work for his daily bread. I Ie waa
gifted with much talent and an almost
insane love for painting, so be concluded
to set out for Florence, the cradle and
grave of so many of our great masters;
there, far away from his old wild life, he
would start afresh; the teachings of his
dead mother occurred to him and a
touch of holy shame crept into his
heart. He would reform, and, in fact,
he began already to look upon himself
in that light; it pleased bim from its
very novelty.
Arriving there, as we have said, just
at dusk, his eye was charmed with the
simple grandeur of the city. To the
north of the river Arno the reader may
remember the picturesque bits of ruin
that are standing remains of once
mighty walls. As he approached one
of these he paused. Was it the glory
of the southern sky that pleased him ?
Was he dazzled by those wondrous ruby
tints? His glance waa not toward tlie
heavens, but rested on an Italian girl
leaning against' the crumbling gray
stones. A rarely beautiful race it was,
shadowed by the heavy black hair; her
lips were slightly parted in a smile, and
the warm glow of tbe sunset lighting
up the clear olive skin fahly made him
trembls lest this lovely vision should
fade away, leaving only the ruin in the
background.
Cautiously, almost reverently, Paul
Courtland advanced, but still the girl
did not move. Across her scarlet peas
ant dress fell a trailing vine of ivy, and
in one little brown hand she held loosely
a buncb of drooping water liilies. .As
the young stranger drew nearer he saw
that the child was fast asleep.
"Who is she '( ' he asked in Italian of
a passer by.
Tis Beatrice Gonzani, our little
flower girl Surely, signor, you have
not been in Florence long? Ah, naughty
child! see, she has fallen asleep! What
can the poor old grandmother be think
ing? Beatrice! Beatrice Mia, wake up,"
and before Courtland could prevent him
he had caught her by the arm.
The young man turned away ; he want
ed to remember the picture as he had
first seen it, toned to wouderous har
mony by the setting sun. Securing a
room at the inn he retired early, not to
sleep peacefully, though, but to dream
of Beatrice. The artist bad found his
ideal, he would paint a great work, one
that would make him famous not only
in Florence but tboughout Europe.
Early the next morning be once more
directed bis steps toward the ruin in
the hope of again seeing the beautiful
flower girl Whose fate waa it that led
him, Beatrice's or his own ?,
She was in her usual place, and as the
artist approached he raised his hat courteously.
"Good morning, signoria," he said in
her native tongue, "I have come to
buy soma of your pretty flowers."
Thank you, signor, which will you
have, roses or liilies ?"
"I prefer the liilies, but what is tbe
matter with them, their heads droop r
'.Tis because they arc sleeping, sig
nor; when the sun comes out brighter
they will open their little golden eyas.
Sse what a fine bunch this is, that la tha
center I call the queen and tba others
an paying eonrt to bar."
"A prattyfeSea, Beatrice; I wffl take

plea the signor. who bad been so kind
to her. He wanted to paint tbe flower
girl as be had first seen her on that
summer evening, aeleep under a won
drous southern sky. So each morning
sh3 would come to his studio for a
while, wearing the pretty scarlet peas

across the skirt. Tbe young English-

"If you like it, signor, then it pleases
me; but what will become of it now
that it is all finished ? It is really very
fine, that picture of ours," andslie
nodded her head in solemn approval.
He smiled a little at the evident pride
she took in "that picture of ours," and
then he answered ber questiou.
The world shall have it, Cara Mia, if
it pays a good round price, but the little
model-she looked so pretty lie could
not resist saying it-will belong to me t
and he held nis Laud out to her as he
spoke.
Trustingly, contidmgiy, me young
Italian gave him hers, and Paul Court
laud raised it to his lins.
"Very well," he arid, remember you
promiped ," and then, changing his tone,
"it is time for you to go now, Beatrice,
but first let me give you a present for
being such a good child and holding so
stilL"
He went to a cabinet and, taking out
a tiny sapphire frame, replaced the por
trait it contained of a French lady with
one of his own.
This," and ho laughed as bo gave it
tolier, "is a poor exchange for yours.
Adio till toniorrovf ."
"How kind' you are, signor. lean
never thank you enough," and the dark
eyes shone it'i pleasure as he left the
studio.
"It Is only the jewels that delight I
her," he said comfortably to bimsell as
he closed the door, "but she is a dear,
good little thing, and I must be careful
for her sake as well as my own. How
foolish I have been for the last few
days. I came to r lorence to make my
fortune, nnd to fall in love with the
first pretty face I met. Ueautirul Be
atrice! I would not like to make her
unhappy, and she trusts me so. But
yet there is no harm done; she is
only a child and cares no more for me
than I for her." He felt very noble as
be leaned out of the window and called
after the retreating figure once more,
"Adio." This time, though, he did not
add "till to-morrow." but 'forever."
the flower girl heard the first word only.
The next morning Beatrice went to
the ruin as- accustomed hour to sell
her liilies. Xoon passed and made way
for evening, but Paul Courtland did
not come. The next and the next, and
finally the whole month, crept by; still
her English lover came not, and the
pretty face grew paler as the weeks
wore on.
She knew nothing had happened to
him, for her sharp eyes had described
him once or twice in the distance.
Surely he had not tired of her? No!
he had told her once that he loved her
and he was too noble, too good, to utter
a falsehood. Perhaps lie had been very
busy and had not found time to come;
Beatrice caught at this as a last hope,
One sultry afternoon the weary girl
slipped in through the open doorway of
the grand Cathedral of Florence to find
consolation in prayer; tired out with
whing and waiting she feel aslucp.
The mighty peal of the organ at last
aroused her, and looking up she saw a
wedding was about to be celebrated.
The scene was one of joy and brilliance;
myriads of candles were burning on the
altar in front of which stood a stately
lady dressed in the purest white. Bea
trice recognized her as the Signorina
Itinezza, the richest heiress in all Flor
ence. Beside her was a distinguished
looking man, very tall and very fair.
Something in his attitude as he stood
there struck sudden terror to Beatrice's
heart; she tried to dispel the wild fear
and leaned forward the better to see his
face. Just then the service began, she
heard his voice and all doubt was at an
end this was Paul Courtland'? wedding
day.
With tightly folded hands and a face
that was terribly white the flower girl
hecrd tbe service through, heard the
priest pronounce the benediction and
then knew no more.
Some hours later a priest might have
been seen walking toward the Arno,
wishing, perhaps, to escape from the
hum of tbe noisy city and be free to re
flect in peace, lulled by the rippling of
