Th"n with wavering stops she came toward

Now the nama of Count Antonio when
spoken by him rousell the 1lIlto more than
Vail the ministrations of his physician : he
roused hImself once agaIn , cryIng : : .
" 0. AntonIo ! ' ( ' . had forgotten AntonIo.
Does ! ! ho still live ? "
"Your hIghness : has nol given the ( signal ,
for his death. " . !
"Have I not 7 Then hero- "
Ho had raised his hand , but with a great
cry the Lady Lucia sprang . forward and
seized Ills hand before' he coulll move It ,

no , nol" Ant ) ( lie ! ! duke hall no strength to
fling ! her off . but ho gasped : Free mo Cram
herl" And the master of the household ,
terrlfiell lest ! ! In her passion she should tlo
vlolencJ to his highness : , roughly tore her
hands trom tile dulte's hand , and the duke ,
released , sat up on his couch , and he said , In
n hard , strange voice , thaI was heard of all ,
oven to the ( scaffold and yet 13lIIed ! ! ! ! not the '
volc3 that they knew as his :
"Let Anntonlo- " Dut then lie ! ! stopped , he
clicked In his throat and catching at his
shirt , tore It loose from him. "I.t ! An-
tonlohe cried agaIn , "It ! ! \ntonlo- . "
And he sat there for an Instant , anll his cs ! ! I
drew him , the intelligence ! ! \ departIng ! ! from t
them ; once again ho opened his lips , but L
nothing came from them s'dve a gasp : and I
with n thud ho Cell back on his pillows , and , ,
hnvlng rolled once on his sIde , turned again
of n hIs back and lay still. And a great hush
fell on every man In the square , and they
lookell l on one IInother's faces but found no
answer.
For ValentIne . duke and lord of Forl1loh ,
was dead of his sickness at the moment when
ho sought to send AntonIo to death. Thus
marvelously did heaven In Its ' 1lgh purpose
deal d with him.
"His highness III dead , " said the phylclan ,
and the master of the household , ns his duty
WIIS , came to the front of the duke's couch ,
nnd , standing there before all the Ileollle ,
broke the wand of his office and ! let the
hrolten fragments Call upon the marble sops
and he cried aloud :
"Hear all of youl It has pleased AlmIghty
God to take unto Himself the soul of the
noble and illustrious Prince Valentine , duke
and lord of Fornlola. May his soul find
1I4col"
Jlllt there came from the people no answero
Ing l cry of "Amen , " as . according to the cus-
tom of the duchy , It should have come. For
they were amazed at the manner ! ! of this
death , _ and many crossed themselves In frar ,
and women sobbed And Lorenzo , standIng
on the scaffold by Antonio . was struck with
wonder and fear and clutched Antonto's arm ,
crying , "Can It be that the duke Is dead ? "
And Antonio bowed his head , answering ,
"MIlY Christ receIve ! ! his soul ! "
Then Ito master of the household came
forward again and cried :
"Hear all of yoni ! According to the high
pleasure and the appointment of AlmIghty
God , the noble and illustrious prince , Vaien
tine , second of that name Is from this hour
duke allll ( lord of Fornlola , whom obey , serve
anti honor , all of you . May his rule be pros-
Ilerous. "
And this tIme there came n low murmur
of "Amen" from the peoplc. nut before :
more could pass bore was n sudden commotion -
motion In the square before time scaCfold.
For nona , seeing what was done , allll know-
lug that ( the ( duke was deall , had glrlllced at
thoplkemen who stood near , amid when hfJ
saw that hey looked not at hIm , hut toward
where the master of the household stood he
sprang forward and ran like a deer to lie
scafft'td : , and ho leaped UII to the scaffold
before any could hinder him and Ito cried
In u mighty howl voIce , saying :
"Illy " what warrant do you hold my lord a
prIsoner 1" ?
And tIme apprentIces raised a great cheer !
an' } with one accord Pressed upon the plko. !
men- . who , ulI1l1zed by all list had passed , I
gave : ) \'ay before them , allll the apprentices
IFOkIIV their bonds and surged like a wave
of water up to tilt ! foot of the scaffold , shout-
11mg , : - -ntonto'll name anti ( time young lord who
, belt ? Tonnnaliino came with him and broke
through and reached the scaffold , for they
feared for Lorenzo , anti yet woulll not let
T/Jmlllllsillo go , and Loronzo was sore at a
Iou. but ho drew his sword and cried that
ho wOllld slay any man that touched Antonio
Jnlll the right of lie mailer should be

"I have no authority . " raId Loremizo "For

Then time Count Antonio fastened hll shirt
again about his neck and hut on hIs doublet ,
and he sIgned to Iena to stand al ono aide of
bllll ; , anll hO bade the young lords to loosen
Tommaalno. And ho said to l.oron7o , "Lot ;

In the space of half all hour there was none

anti the archbishop offered ell a prayer betore
the PeoPle ! ! ; and having done this , he tured
to AntonIo and saId :
"My Lord Antonio , most anxiously have
his highness and we of his council eOlsldercll
of this matter ; all It has t'eemimed to us al-
my own , In truth , was the sale reluctnnt
voice , and now I also am brought to the same
mind-that whereas ! ! the virtuous purposes of
jurposes
Ilrlncel arc meet to be remembered and
male , lereptllal by fnlhflll fulfment afler
their death . yet the errors of which they ,
being ! ! mortal , are guilty , should , not evenly
them ! ! nor be suffered to endure when ! ! they
have passed ! ! nway And though we are not
blind to your oeellses , yet we Judo ! that ti n
the beginning tbe fault was not yours. There
fore his hIghness decrees your pardon for al
orenses against his cIvi state and power
And I myself . who hold authority higher
than any earthly might , seeing In what this
day has witnessed the fInger of God himsel
do not fight against It , but will pray you , as
soon a you may fit yourself thereunto by :
prayer and meditation , to come In n humble
mInd and seek again the blessing of the
church For In what you did right , and In
what you outstepped right , God himself immtis t
one day judge and I will seek to judge 9f I I
no more. "
"My lord " saId Antonio " 1 have done
much wrong. Yet I will own no wrong In th Ca
'
matter of the abbot nor In That of the snore ii
bones "
But the lord archbishop smiled nt AntonIo ( m ,
and Antonio bent Vend klued the rIng that : ,
was on his finger. and the old man laid his
,
hand for a moment on Antonio's hed , sayIng -
lag : "It may be that God worlcl ? sometime !
In ways that I may not see. "
Thus It was that the Count AntonIo wal
restored to isis place and caIn" again to For
nlola. Having been .eleve3 of the sentence
of excommunicatIon that lied ben laid upn
him , ho was wedded In the .cathedral to the I
Lady Lucia so soon as the 'lays ' of mourning !
for the duke had passed. And great was the' '
joy j In the cIty lit their wedding , for ever
maid and ever man saw In the triumph of
Antonio's love a. sign of the favor of heave .
to t those who love with a pure and IIbldlng
passion , So they made gnat feasts and , '
were marvelously merry , and liens lea not :
the t day \O by without plghting hIs troth ina
comely damsel saying , with a twInkle In I
his eye that the Count Antonio would have
need of hIs son ! , whose servIces ho had prom-
IsC' i to him as they rode togetner across the
plain on the morning when Antonio had supposed I- I
posed that he was to die. Nor would Lien a :
give any other reason whatsoever for the !
marriage Nevertheless , I Is likely that theTe :
were others But whether Dena fulfilled his I
promise I know not , for . as I have saId so
\ l I known cOlcerlftng hIm that. his true , Ito I
name does not aurvlve and It has prove i :
an Impossible thing to discover lhether any :
lof his descendants yet live In Fornlola I I
chance that they do , I trust that they fight
as well and serve DS loyally anti ( pray beth ri- '
than he. But Martolo has left those that :
bear his name and a great-grandson of 'lis '
Is I at this very time htntmal to the ( monastery -
tory of St. Prlslan , where I have seers ' and L ;
talked with him many times .
Time task which I had lalll upon myself
thus fills Its end , For there la no need for
me to tell of the after deeds of Count Antonio
of Monte Veiluto . nor how , In the space of a
few months , ho was chosen by all the lords
to be ruler anti protector of the state during
tlo Infancy of tie duke , In which high ofce
he dll many notable deeds , both of war and
peace , nnd raIsed the duchy to a Seat height
of Ilower and conferred many favors on the
townsmen of ornlola , \hom ho loved nnd
cherished because they had not forsaken him
nor ceased to love him during all the years :
that he dwelt an outlaw In the hIlls. And
he built again his house o'n the hIll which
Duke Valentine hall burnt . and dwelt there
with Lucia 0111 with Tommaslno also unt
Tommaslno toolt to wHo that sale lady tor
whose sakI he had lingered and thus fall. . mn

tverell his charge Into his hand , yet co mm.
tlnuell to connsel him and was very high In

sought his aid and his counsel , and he was
greatly liQuored of all amen Thus I there
was aught In hIs youth that merltl censure ,
I may be held that he blotted out the shame :
of It by his after life , for his later da's
were lled with honorable aervlco to his I :

A STnEAM O MUSICAL WanDS ,

poured forth a stream of musical words , the
sentences as round and balanced as would
have been those of any other man who had
coned his subject ! ! for a fortnight. I had ! !
hll In silence , for one of the first lessons
I ever learned ! ! from lie good Doctor Em-
mons-that great light of New Englllnd
theology-was to listen and not talk , If I
would grow In knowledge and wisdom nut
I remember that after awhile I did dissent
from some of his opinions when , with a
gentle smie , he saul : "J am sorry we don't
agree : but you are wrong. I answered your
objCtlons ! ! In time last speech I sent you
Have you read It ? "
"Yes , and am not convinced. ! ! Yon always
run a thlllK Into time ground . You would
malto more friends If you used a little mora
moderaton , "
"I don't agree with you , " he said. "To
get a entail slice wo must ask for the whole
loaf. "
"nut you might at least ask for It In a
respectful ! ! manner. You can win imo man by
abusing hll , "

the personaltes that were ever observed In
the speeches and public addresses of Mr.
Ph illume. Whie In private Intercourse he
would not apvly a harsh word to his bitterest
enemy , li held that , as men are , to gain
theIr attention ho had to resort to harsh epithets -
theta and unsparing denummolation . For this
relson those who merely read his speeches
or beard him ( noun the 1IaUorm , knew next
