Near Como Ia palauh villa, with forest
like grounds, which is one OF many villas
belonging to the father Of GRrlbaldl's second

francs Tor this villa deli OrmO, but II 10 said
he will take a million II offered. In II and
and on It's vast grounds was held tho Como

season, which event gave me chance 10 see
the building. The villa has some superb
halls In II, and the grounds are very large.
A gentleman who sat next mo the other
day At dinner party gave me little bit OF
q romance about the MarchesA GaribAldi, -
the second wife Of the famous Italian general

OF Garibaldl's sOn.

lon, Milanese Count, who knew all about
the strange affair shc Is the second wife Of

looked all the questions was dying 10
ask, upon which he added with q laugh and
shrug, as II he knew more than was proper
10 tell ut that moments mo reasons were ever
given on either Side"
The subject was dropped, but II recalled TO
me q strange story had heard some years
ago Of second marriage Of Garlbaldls, and
which served well 70 join on 10 the unfinished
or broken link that my dinner acquaintance
had given me. I'll teli II TO you "a Il was told
TO me, and you can join the two links or not,
Just rs you please. II was at least q dozen
years ago. The lady was young, titled, rich,
handsome and fast. No name was given me.
She conceived desperate, passionate adml-
ration for the famous "LibeTatOr Of Italy"
She was young enough 10 be GaTibaldrs
daughter, aud he was posing then, as he has
always, for tho inconsOlable widower-the
celebrated Anita" his frat wife, who &C.
cOmpanied him through many Of his adyen-
lures, and whose sad death has been 60 often
and so touchingly described Ia supposed TO
be the only love Of Garibaldis life. Never
| theless, the marriage took place between the
| General and the young Lombardy MArchesa.
But Aad 70 relate, on the wedding day, after
the ceremony, GaTlbaldl received lnfOrma-
ton, with undOubted proofs, of the lmmOF-
Auty Of his young bride. Why had he not
been told sOOneT2 cannot toll you any
| thing bnt the simple story "a | heard II.
When the newly married pair were left
| alone, Garlbaldl told his young wife what he
had heard, but added, "If You will say you
are An honest woman, will take your word"
Marcheaa,
"we must part forever this very moment, -"
| replied Garibaldi.
Tho young woman turned, left her husband
Of IN hour, and never saw him again, II
| was said That the stories against her chaTac-
ter were false, and the young girl, though
gay, was Innocent. But her pride was 60
wounded ut the charge being made by her
| husband at that moment, and In such per-
emptOry manner that she scOFned 10 Justify
herself. His want OF faith In her dispelled
her Illusions aud broke the charm Of her
