"And our revenge ?"

That evening when Elisabetta was
about to close the window of her sleeping
apartment, and the clear moonlight en-
ticed her out on the balcony, from where
she gazed toward heaven with heartfelt
gratitude. she heard her name pronounced
in a low tone by some one near by.
Startled, she looked down to see who ap-
preached, when dark figure appeared
before her.

cloak he reached her beautiful bouquet
of white roses went his way; but, when
Elisabetta's window closed, his dark figure
reappeared. With deep groan he sank
down beside the garden-wall, and leaned
his head against the cold stones and when
the morning dew fell his posture remained
unchanged. Nor did he stir until aroused
by the noise that accompanies the break
Of day in large towns; then he suddenly
arose, looked about him as one who would

away.
For Elisabeth Sirani the day never
broke again. The next morning, she was
found pale and cold in her bed; at her
head was a bunch of white but Ewlted
roses.
A cry of grief resounded through all Bo'
Iona when Elisabetta's sudden death was
know-strange stories were whispered
about, and there were not few who were
convinced that she was poisoned; but, il
she was, who was the murderer No one
could tell.
Marco Sessi disappeared, and was new

Report of the Third Assistant Post
master-GeHeral.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II

WASHINGTON, Nov II.
Hon. E. NJ. Barber Third Assistant
Postmaster-Ge has completed his
annual report. 1t shows that during the
last fiscal year there were issued to
Postmasters, for sale to the public, 632,-
133, 900 adhesive postage stamps of the
value of Sl7,275, 242; of plain stamped
envelopes about 65,000,000, valued at
$1,921 ,952; of stamped envelopes bear.
ing return request 81, 100000, valued at
81 ,133, 1888; of newspaper-wrappe some
100000 valued at $4,000, and of
postalcards 81, 900, 900 The increase in
value of the ordinary issues over the
preceding year was 81 sos, 4SS, or over
per cent These figures represent the
cost of manufacture added to the postal
value
1t is estimated that for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1876, there will be re
quired to defray the cost of adhesive
postage stamps $t49, 764; of stamped en-
vclopes and wrappers $446,520; of post
al-cards S159,S06; and of advertising
$4,000. The number of stamps etc,
issued each year increases at uniform
rate of about 10 per cent. per annum but
in consequence of more advantageous
contracts having been effected the esti-
mate for the above items is some 1871 900
less than the sum appropriated for them
for the current fiscal year.
The Dead Letter Division received dur.
ing the past gear 1901 ,713 letters, repre-
senting an actual or nominal value of
S4,631, APO, exclusive of iewelry and
other property, which class of Enclosures
is treated as possessing no money value
that can with correctness be determined.
One million three hundred and ninety
two thousand two hundred and
twenty-tour letters, representing 49,
SOB, SOS, were delivered TO the owners or
writers, including 225, 1913 foreign letters,
which were returned unopened to the
countries from whence they came. OF
the remainder some , goo, 900 were either
worthless, containing circulars, etc. or
could not be delivered and were de-
stroyed. The rest are filed for reclama-
ton or are in the hands of Postmasters
for delivery.
The Third Assistant strongly recon-
mends that provision be made by law
for furnishing to each and every Post
master throughout the country indelible
ink and other requisites for effectually
canoeing postage stamps an6 for post
marking. None of the postctfices are
now furnished by the department with
any such articles for the protection of
the Government. Mr.. Barber estimates
that the proportion of washed stamps
used again in payment of postage is 5
per cent of the value of all the stamps
sold each year, causing an annu,' loss of
81 600, 600 to the revenue of the lesart.

law which allows free mail circulation
