| continuoususy as if countless numbers
yet remained behind and at the sight.
the stoutest hearts gave way. The cry
| fly for your lives, rose up on every hand
| and, darling into the bye streets or rush
| ing headlong down the ,horoughfare, the
mob dispersed with the rapidly OF magic.
By the time the leading files of the caval-
~ had come up. the street was empty.
| Throwing his proud s,eed back on his
launches as he reached the guard the
commander of the collort addressed his
brother officer.
We we're just in time. see. l heard,
ton landing that there was riot in the city
and the cause: and galloped at once
thIher. We are to-day come from Italy;
and bring important news. Diocletian
is dead, and the prosecutions against the
Christians are to be stopped. 1t is well
we came up as we did -
He would have spoken further. but at
this instant his attention was arrested by
Il shrek from the prisoner and the mem
lion of his own name. He turned quick
ly around, and for the first time his eyes
fell on the maiden. Quick as lightning
he leaped from his horse, hinging the bri
die to the nearest bye SANDER, and rushed
towards her.
Julia An,ony' were the mutual ex-
carnations of the lovers as they fell into
each others arms for it was the Numid-
ian hunter, now risen to high rank, who
had thus opportunity arrived TO rescue his
mistress.
Language would be too weak to de-
scribe that meeting. In haste the lover or
dered a chariot to be brought for Julia.
and by his command she was conveyed TO
the house of the pra,or whose wife took
charge Of the orphan girl. The in,clIi
gence of Diocle,ian's death spread with
inconceivabe rapidly; and those who
were favorable TO the Christians, now
spoke boldly out. The great mass of the
influential citizens as usual side with the
new order of things. The tide of opinion
turned. And the mob, finding their as
cendancy over. sullenly submitted. like
wild beasts confined to the limits of their
cage and restrained from harm.
The young officer himself soon became
s Benz naIss siaoiiIess airibniabie
pie and arguments of Julia.
On the pleasant shores of the Numidan
bay stand the ruins of once splendid
palace. Tradition says that there lived
the Christian maiden and her puissant
husband The hero and heroine Of our story
