 In the coursc of an hour or two, the landlatly sent to inquire when Miss G's apartments would be vacant. Indignant at this insult. Miss G. replied, ''to-mor. row ,norning.'' She determined to go to Genoa anu loin some English tr'eads whO were s,aying there, and directed the Conr-
 ier 10 be ready for the early train. Inthe evening he came and said it was quIfe un-
 naceSsarv to leave so early, and as me nu..sa was i'll. it would be better to take the .econd train. Miss G. said ''tllat will bring us into Genoa in the evening"" and that she would rather start early than ar rive late. He replied that the second train (which only went half way to Genoa)
 would bring them into Genoa before dark and seemed 50 conf lent that Mss c. yield aI.
 Al the railway terminus she resumed her carriage, (people take tl'eir cnrrlages an tho rail roads. but it's progress was so slow ihat she several times endeavored to hurry the Courier, who kept saying they would be in Genoa in good time. Another
 carriags, yvns observed behind them, keep

 first post. the postillIOn was changed, the
 Courier assigning as reason. that the hrsl

 at the first post out of Genoa: But the Courier objected. insisting that they should
 arrive qulsearly, that 1t would nut sfofm'

The Courier then selected rooms ,,hich separs.tsd her from her companions, but sine changed that arrangement.
 The nex. morning they proceeded to Gcnoa. .aua on the following day, Louis. the Courier, came to her greatly distress
 ea. apparently, ut having, as he said. lost ther passports. Fms. ne t. ieateo I1 as 'ni'lgs were in an unsettled state. might subject her to inconvenience, if not dahger. lie hnd endeayered, he said to ob'aln apass> oo,t hut was told that it could only be done by Miss G. herself, on application to the Intendart of Police. She directed him 10 call n carriage, aud she. along with Miss Bennett. would go immediately for the Dnssport. He implored her not to inform Miss Bennett of his misfDrtun8. us she was always finding fault with him. Inc stead of Miss Bennett, therefore, she took her old nurse with her. They were driven 10 n dislan, part of the city. and Miss c was conducted up long flight of stairs inlo a large apartment, Here the Courier left them, saying he would see U the Intend ant was ready to receive them. tic soon returned, saying that Miss G. must go un- attended into the Intendant's room. She followed the Courier, who ushered her in to n room where, instead of the Intendant of Police, she encountered Mr. Wycof! Alter locking the, door, he inf,nmed her ina; the House was occupied by hlmscIi and those only who were in his service: that as she had evuded her promise to mnr- " him, he had taken steps wiilra view to iis consu,nmntion that Ter Courier hnd long ac cd by his orlrs that he rerso at. cd Mrs Austin al Turin that his carriage followed hers from that city; that he had intended to have asserted his rights before she arrived at Genoa, but was thwartOd | by her stopping be fore night that she 1 was now entirely in his power. but inas- much as all he had done was prompted by l affection, having her happiness as well as his own for iis t,bject, ho trusted that she would save him from resorling to painful alternative by cheerfully fulhilng her on, gagement.
