and nervous hands was trying to soothe
the anguish of his own breaking heart
as we'll as the pains which racked the
form of his sweet little Gianetta. When
he had finished playing, she held out
her thin, white hand.
Dear Nicolo," she said in a low,
broken voice, 81 am going to leave you.
I hear sweet angels calling me. You
can not follow me; yob must remain be-
hind; but far from this place, you will
become famous, all the world will
speak your taarne-oh, then, do not
forget your little Gianetta u" Her head
sank back among the pillows, and
almost without struggle the sweet
eyes closed forever.
Nicolo remained gazing absehtly
upon her lovely face. Alas, for the
first time it was deaf to his tears and
applications. Wild with grief, he
wandered about all day and the greater
part of the night, without aim, without
any thought save that of his utter
loneliness. He visited the water-side
where only a few days ago they had
been happy together; he fingered in
every spot sacred to their mutual
pleasures, and when at late hour he
returned to his room, he shuddured at
the awful stiffness which reigned there.
He looked across to Giahetta's home.
The window was open, he could see the
child lying asleep in her narrow bed,
almost hidden by the profusion of wild
flowers which she mad so loved while
upon earth. A priest was kneellng by
her side, his venerable head bowed and
his trembling lips murmuring prayers
for the repose of her soul. Nicolo
threw himsely upon his knees
Farewell, fasewell my joy, my Lowell
As you have told ME, I am going tar
from this place, where everything re
calls my cruel loss; where 1 can find
neither rest nor torgettulness, deserted
as am by every or eaturel' At these
words he trembled something cold
touched his hand. 1t was the spider!
''Poor insect" he cried, 'the only liv>
ing thing left to mel Come, will play
to you, for the last time, the airs which
my poor Giannetta loved | will play
them as requiem for her soul L
He took out his violin. The sweet,
sad strains of music flooded the air,
wandering out to the little dead child,
who seemed to smile at their message.
Even the flowers seemed to nod their
halt>opened corollas, and the kneeling
priest paused in his deyotions to listen
to the music's dlviner power
On the morrow the red rays of the
sun fell across sleeping child, still
clasping his beloved instrument, on the
cords of which lay dead spider!

hat he has to say:
As along the street I Numbered,
Much marvelled, much wondered,
Seeing sights and things that mortal
Never saw or dreamed before;
On the pavement came rappinR
As, of footballs gently tapping,
And heard q muslin-fapping,
Which my eye would fain explore.
"'.ris some female, then muttered-

Came this female sweeping by me:
Fearing she should chance to spy me,
Suddenly stepped into .
Friendly, waiting, upon door:
Thence 1 saw the lovely maiden
Being from some distant Alden
All perfumed and dry goods laden,
Pass me and go on before.
Nought had / to do but follow

And found by close inspection
That her nOughty, upper sectien,

And her breast was heaving slowly,

And knew,the movement wholly,

Only these and nothing more
And her cheeks were full and rory

Yet her cheeks were very pleasing,
But her look at me was freezing
And she showed sign of sneezihs,
And she swept along before;
And she sneezeda pair of s'plumpers"
Out at least yard before
Only this and nothing more.
Then noticed an uncertain
Lifting of the muslin curtain,
That her feet had deity hidden
From my Grant eyes before;
With each lift came a desire
that 'twonld lit little higher,

Just "tilter"-nothing more.

That pair Of calves we're creeping

Like stately queen before;
Calves that she had lately purchased
From fancy dry goods store,
Potent calves-aud not much more.
And while thus her rigging futtered,

::'And you call this thing woman

She the brazer doll of fashion,
Wrapped III ore tremendous passion,
SInken from her noble station
To the thing that goes before
Oh! that ever mortal vision
Should such mystery explore"
This l nluttered, nothing mora.
And the thought came DER me rushing,
"Nhert has gone the art of b]uahjnR
That we loved in wife OF maiden
In the sanity days Of yore,
Call me if you will, uncivil,
While name her thing of evil"
And wish the very deuce

And again she were arrayed in
Dresses like her mother wore,
Vanished now for ever more.

THE BEST GAME OF THP sgAsoN-ExcITTNd
CONTEST AT THE scHEUTzEN PARK.
At the Scheutzen Park, yesterday af-
ternoon in the presence of large
number of spectators, decidedly the best
game of the season was played between
the A. II. Lawrence and Quickstep clubs
both of this city. Both clubs turned out
strong teams and the game gave evidence
from the first, of being very interest
ing.
The game opened at 1926 o'clock, with
the Quickstepsat the bat, who were neat
ly retired without run ditto the Law
renee. From this time to the end. the
game was of the most interesting charac-
ter, But few bad plays were made by
either side, and only the superior bat
ting Of the Quicksteps gained them the
game.
Among the noticeable plays We're the
fine fly catches by McMenamin, left field
of the Lawrence nine. Both catchers
played well behind the bat. particularly
Collins, of the Lawrence who seldom gets
any practice except when engaged in u
match game. Hindle as usual was up tC
high standard.
This game went far to show the real
calibre of the Wilmington ball toasers
and if they keep on improving, instead OF
deseneratng, our city can soon boast o
two rs fine amateur Organizations as any
other city in the country
