she confessed the nature Of her inter-
view with Prince Erberto Giuglio,
who had not yet quit the saLG. Sad
denly as powder expl0des did a feel
ling OF deep resentment seize up0a
young Giacomo's mind, and he rushed
into the apartment where Prince Err
berto was.
"Why have YOU insuIted my sis
teri" sternly demanded the youthful
| Ohigi, confronting him Of the Aldo
brandini house.
Previous to that hour Giacomo's
natural attitude toward his prospect
| i've brOther-in-laW was q Of much
respect and affection. Its unexpected
change was therefore nc palliative to
the injured feelings of the juted prince,
and he quickly required OF Glacomo
to explain the cause0of his asking such
an untoWard question. The Princess
| Catarina interiered and quelled the
| disturbance Git is said by the family of
each); but manysuspect that GiacOm0
Chigf was the victim OF a sound
thrashing.
Until the commencement OF Febru-
airy last Prince ErbertO Giuglio alb
scented himself from the Chigi palace,
in spite of the repeated solicitations of
several members OF that family. On
the first day OF the carnival, a ball
was given st the magnificent Doria-
Pamphill palace, and among the in.
vited guests were the Princess Cata-
rina di Ohigi and Prince Erberto
Giuglio. Though Catarina still pre-
served her sedateness and piety, she
did not forego, at least the formality
Of a dance, and Erberto Giuglio was
her first partner. Throughout the
night the severed lovers seemed more
intimate than ever before, and many
q prying belle concluded at first sight
that the betrothed Representatives of
the Adobrandin and Chigi families
were again recOnciled. So did the
desperate Erberto Giuglio believe It;
but the pious hirt whom he loved was
thinking at the same time of the
Weirdly solemn cloister life and the
brown habit of the order of Mount
Carmel. IVA
After this ball, Erberto and Catari-
ma met frequently, on account of the
renewal of mis- visits to the Chigi pal
ace. On the 25th of February the

three o'clock in the afternoon, with
the intention Of calling at the estab-
lishment of a well known Roman
jeweler, named IOrti. When her
maid asked her whether she would
order the carriage, the Princess de-
elined, saying: az will walk as far as
Iorti's on the Corso." These were
THE LAST WORDS
she is known to have spoken, and it
was the 25th of February. Two days
after, the corpse of the beautiful Wo-
man mentioned in the beginning of
this letter was found, and on Saturday
last, the half-faded face, tie rich,
black curls, the buff silk dress and
gold sleeve-buttons marked c. O..
were Identified as those OF the fair
and accomplished princess Of Chigi--
Catarina.
The fact Of a foul murder having
been committed is beyond doubt;
that the princess committed suicide |
is not suspected by anyone. The |
project Of police, a shrewd and expe-
rienced officer, asserts that the collar
bearing in letters of blood the word
vendetta" (vengeance), and the dag
ger with the diamond hilI, may be
traced finally to the assassin. An ex-
dealer In precious stones and
metals in Rome asserts that he may
identify the dagger, and that, should
be succeed in doing so, a prominent
1Obleman will be involved in serious
difficulty. The Chigi family have
their hall in mourning, and
yesterday members of noble families
attended a requiem mass celebrated in
he Chigi palace by MOnsignor Eardi.
Those who inquired for information
behalf of the journals would notbe
eceived at the palace, and strict
riders were given to all the servants
. avoid communication with every
'Ody from outside, and inform every
aller that the family could attend to
10 visitor or business for several days.
