nesa, but even through that inpenetrablo
veil I knew It was a sham. I had laid hold
of the hand rail. It shook violently in my
hand; he was also holding It where he
stood. And these suppressed tremors, or
rather their detection In this way, struck a
strange chill to my heart, just aa I was
beginning to pluck It up.
" 'It Is lucky for Btefano,' said I grim
as death.
" 'Ah, but you must not be too 'ard on 1m,'
remonstrated the Count. 'You have stole
this girl; he speak with me about it. and I
wish to speak with you. It is very audash
uss, Arturo, very adaushuss. Perhaps you
re even going to meet her now. eh?
"I told him straight that I w
Then there Is no 'urry, for she Is not
there.'
" 'You didn't see her in the cave?' I cried,
too delighted at the thought to keep it to
myself. '
" 'I had no such fortune,' the old devil
said.
." 'She Is there, all the same.'
.," 'I enly wish I 'ad known.'
" 'And I've kept her long enough!'
"In fact, I threw this over my shoulder as
X turned and went running down.
" 'I 'ope you will find her!' his mallo'ous
voice came croaking after me. 'I 'ope you
will I 'ope so.'
"And find her I did."
naffles had been on his feet for some
time, unable to sit still or to stand, mov
ing excitedly about the room. But now he
stood still enough, his elbows ou the cast
iron mantleplece, his head between his
bands
"Dead?" I whispered.
And be noddod to the wall.
'There was not a sound in the cave.
There was no answer to my voice. Then I
went in, and my foot touched hers, and it
was colder than the rock Bunny,
they had stabbed her to the heart. 8he had
fought them, and they had stabbed her to
heart!"
Tou say 'they' " I said gently, as he
stood in heavy silence, his back still turned.
"I thought Btefano had been left behind?"
Raffles was round In a flash, his face white
hot, bis eyes dancing death.
"lie was In the rave!" he shouted. "I
saw him spotted him It was broad day
light after those stairs and I went for him
with my bare hands. Not flits, Runny; not
fists for a thing like that; I meant getting
my fingers Into his vile little heart and
tearing It out by the roots. I was stark
mad. But he had the revolver hers. He
biased It at arm's length and missed. That
steadied me. I had smashed his funny
bone against the rock before he could blase
again; the revolver fall with a rattle, but
without going off; In an instant I had it
tight, and the little swine at my merry at
last."
" You didn't show him any?"
"Mercy? With Faustina dead at my
feet? I should have deserved none In the
next world if 1 had shown him any In this:
No. I just stood over hint, with the revolver
In both hands, feeling the chambers with
my thumb; and as 1 stood ha stabbed at
me; but I stepped back to that one and
brought him down with a bullet in his guts.
" 'And I can spare you two or three
more,' 1 said, for my poor girl could not
have fired a shot. 'Take that one to hell
' with you and that and that!'
"Then I started coughing and wheeling
like the Count himself, for the place waa
fa ! suMe, VYbea U cleared my man
was very dead, and I tipped him into the
sea to defile that rather than Faustina's
cave. , And then and then we were alone
for the last time, she and I, in our own
pet haunt; and I could scarcely see her,
yet I would not strike a match; for I knew
she would not have me see her as she was.
I could say good-bye to her without that.
I said it; and left her like a man, and up
the first open-air steps with my head In
the air and the stars all sharp In the sky;
then suddenly they swam, and back I went
like a lunatic, to see If she was really dead,
to bring her back to life Bunny, I
can't tell you any more."
"No even of the count?" I murmered at
last.
"Not even of the Count," said Raffles,
turning round with a sigh. "I left lilin
pretty sore for himself; but what was the
good of that? I had taken blood for blood,
and it was not Corbuccl who had killed
Faustina. No, the plan was his. but that was
not a part of the plan. They hud found out
about our meetings In the cave; nothing
simpler than to have me kept hard at it
overhead and to carry off Faustina by
brute' force in the boat. It was their only
chknee, for she had said more to Stephano
than she had admitted to me, and more
than I am going to repeat about myself.
No persuasion would have Induced her to
listen to him again; so they tried force;
and she drew Corbuccl's revolver on them,
but they had taken her by surprise, and
Btefano stabbed her before she could fire."
"But how do you know all that?" I asked
Raffles, for his tale was going to pieces in
the telling, and the tragic end of poor
Faustina waa no ending for me.
"Oh" said he. "I had it from Corbuccl at
his own revolver's point. He was waiting
et his window, and I eould have potted
him at my ease where he stood against the
light listening hard enough but not seeing
a thing. So he asked whether It was
Btefano, and I whispered, '81, Signer,"
apd then whether he had finished Arturo,
and I brought the same shot off again.
He had let me In before he knew who was
finished and who was not."
"And did you finish him?"
"No; that was too good for Corbuccl. But
I bound and gagged him about as tight as
man was ever gagged or bound and I left
him in his room with the shutters shut and
the house locked up. The shutters of that
old place were six Inches thick and the
walls nearly six feet; that was on the Sat
urday night, and the Count wasn't expected
at the vineyard before the following Satur
day. Meanwhile he was supposed to be In
Rome. But the dead would doubtless be
discovered next day, and I am afraid this
would lead to his own discovery with the
life still in him. I believe he figured on
that himself, for he sat threatening tne
gamely till the last. You never saw such
a sight as ho was, with his head split In
two by a ruler tied at the back of it and
his great mustache pushed up Into tils
bulglmr eyes. Bat I locked him up In the
dark without a qualm and I wished and
still wish blm every torment of the
damned."
"And then?"
"The night waa still young, and within
ten miles there was the best of ports In a
storm, and hundreds of holds for the hum
ble stowaway to choose from. But I didn't
want to go further than Genoa, for by this
time my Italian would wash, bo I chose the
old Norddeutscher Lloyd, and had an ex
cellent voyage In ono of the boats slung in
board over the bridge. That's better than
any hold, Bunny, and Lxlid splendidly on
oranges brought from the vineyard."
"And at Genoa?"
"At Genoa I took to my wits once more,
and have been living on nothing else ever
since. But there -I had to begin all over
again, and at the very bottom of the lad
der. I slept in the streets. I begged. I
did all manner of terrible things, rather
hoping for a bad end, but never coming to
one. Then one day I saw a white-headed
old chap looking at mo through a shop win
dowa window I had designs upon and
when I stared at him he stared at me, and
we wore the same rags. Bo I had come to
that! But one reflection makes many. I
had not recognized myself; who on earth
would recognize me? London called ne
and here I am. Italy had broken my heart
and there it stays."
Flippant as a schoolboy one moment,
playful even in the bitterness of the next,
and now no longer giving way to the feeling
which had spoiled the climax of his tale.
Raffles needed knowing as I alone knew
him for a right appreciation of those last
words. That they were no mere words I
know full well. That but for the tragedy
of 'his Italian life that life would have
sufficed him for years if not forever I did
and still do believe. But I alone see him
as I saw him then, the lines upon his face
and the pain behind the lines. How they
came to disappear and what removed them
you will never guess. It was the one thing
you would have expected to have the op
posite effect, the thing Indeed that had

comparing In Cleveland the public with the
private operation of water supplies, gas

"When private hands take hold of these
things," said Mr. Dalrymple, "they run
them beautifully at first. The people at
first are highly pleased. But with time's
passage the popular pleasure wanes; it
changes to vexation and to bitterness; and
that," said Mr. Dalrymple. "reminds me
of a recent happening in Glasgow.

The following anecdote is told of Gen
eral Oilman Marston, a once famous New
Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending court at
Dover, when a young attorney made a
motion that was denied by the court. The
young man remonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling of the judge.
Bo vehemently did he remonstrate that he
waa fined $10 for contempt of court. An
older attorney took the matter up and he
was fined a similar sum. Still another, who
thought he stood a little better with the
Judge, endeavored to straighten the mat
ter out, but he, tooT enriched the coffers
of the state by .paying a "ten spot" for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to rise
In Ms sent and advance to the clerk's desk.
Taking his long pockethook from hjs pocket
he took out two flO bills and laid them on
the ek.
"What Is that for?" said the court.
"I want, you to' distinctly understand,"
said the general, "that I have Just twice
as much contempt for this d d court as
any man here, and I am paying for It."

newpair men were waiting In one of the
company's offices awaiting news. word
came that some of the railroad claim
agents had already settled with and se
cured releuses from some of the Injured

That called forth a story of the experi

to settle with a passenger injured in a
wreck on a southern railroad, In which a
coach had rolled down an embankment.
The passenger had several ribs and a leg
broken, a scalp wound and internal in

to have paid him $2,500 for a release.
When asked what he thought would be

The kindness and generosity of Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll won for him many
friends who could not but deeply regret his
opinions. Among them was Henry Ward
Beecher.
In the study of the famous preacher was
an elaborate celestial globe, which had
been sent him with the compliments of
some manufacturer. On Us surface, in
delicate workmanship, were raised figures
of the constellations and of the stars which
compose them.
The globe struck Ingersoll's fancy. He
turned It round and round, examining It
with admiration.
"This Is Just what I want," he said;
"who made It?"
"Who made it, do you say. Colonel?", re
peated Beecher. "Who made this globe?
Why, nobody, of course; It Just happened."

J. M. Barrle Is as shy as a school girl,
says a writer. I At a pretty girl look stead
fastly at llarrle for five minutes and If
she ran catch his eye he will exhibit about
the same symptoms of distress as a man
who has swallowed a fish bone. Constant
activity and contact with the world seems
to be powerless to cure him of the shyness
which Is developed the moment he talks
with a good looking woman. Only tqe other
Jay a young actress who had been rehears
ing in one of his plays and directly under
his eye pleased him so much that he asked
her to luncheon. She couldn't go that day,
and the refusal embarrassed him, but he
plucked up courage and asked her again
the next day. Another engagement inter
fered, but on the third trial the girl ac
cepted and waa pleased to think that she
was to have an hour of delightful intel
lectual entertainment. Barrie ordered the
luncheon and as the dlches were brought
on he looked up and looked into the girl's
eyes. From that moment he was absolutely
Schless. He did not utter one word
during the meal and after it was over he
was Just able to gasp out: "Shall we re
turn to the theater?" and offer bis arm.
Then, as a sort of relief, he hunted up the
stage manager and talked to him at the
rate of ninety words a minute for half hour.
deepening, Ms lines had vanished. He
looked years younger, mischievous and
merry and alert as I remembered him of
old In the breathless crisis of Borne madcap
escapade. He was holding up his finder;
he was stealing to the window; he was
peeping through the blind as though our
side street were Scotland Yard Itself; he
was stealing back again, all revelry, ex
citement and suspense.
"I half thought they were after mo be
fore," said he. "That was why I made
you look. I daren't take a proper look
myself, but what a Jest if they weret
What a Jest I"
"Do you mean the police?" said I.
"The police! Bunny, do you know them
and me so little that you can look me In
the face and ask such a question? My boy,
I'm dead to them off their books a good
deal deader than being off the hooks! Why,
If I went to Scotland Yard this minute to
give myself up they'd chuck me out for
a harmless lunatic. No, I fear an enemy
nowadays, and I m In ip'ror -f the some
time friend, but I have the utmost confi
dence in the dear police."
"Then whom do you mean?"
"The Camorra!"
I repeated the word with a different In
tonation. Not that I had never heard of
that most powerful and sinister of secret
societies, but I failed to see on what
grounds Raffles should Jump to the con
clusion that these every-day organ grinders
belonged to It.
"It was one of Corbuccl's threats," said
he. "If I killed him the Comorra would
certainly kill me. He kept on telling me
so. It was like his cunning not to say
that he would put them on my tracks
whether or no."
"He is probably a member himself!"
"Obviously, from what lie said."
"But why on earth should you think that
these fellows are?" I demanded as that
brazen voice came rasping through a sec
ond verse.
"I don't think. It waa only an Idea.
That thing Is so thoroughly Neapolitan,
and I never heard It on a London organ
before. Then, again, what should bring
them back here?"
I peeped through tho blind In my turn,
and, to be sure, there was the fellow with
tha blue chin and the whit teeth watch
ing our windows, and ours only, as he
bawled.
"And why?" cried Raffles, his eyes danc
ing when I told him. "Why should they
come sneaking back to us? Doesn't that
look suspicious, Uunny; doesn't that
promise a lark?"
"Not to me," I said, having the smile for
on"!e. "How many people, should you
imagine, toss them S shillings for as many
minutes of their Infernal row? You seem
to forget that that's what you did an hour
ago!"
Raffles had forgotten. His blank face
confessed the fact. Then suddenly he burst
out laughing at himself.
"Bunny," said he, "you've no Imagina
tion, and I never knew I had so much! Of
course you're right. I only wish you were
not, for there's nothing I should enjoy more
than taking on another Neapolitan or two.
You see, I owe them something still. I
didn't settle in full. I owe them more than
ever I shall pay them on this aide of the
Styx!"
He had hardened even as he spoke; the
lines and the years had come again and
Ms eyes were flint and steel, with an hon
est grief behind the glitter.
