TCoNCLUDED.
The invitation. then Of ,eyera' noble
friends had been sub'crhlge. SO such
witness we're to be near. Still there were
were five or six sailors and two servants,
besides Andrengo; how were all these to
be blinded? Meanwhile, how pathetic
was the unsuspecting face Of my lover!
What he was suffering was from the
anomalous pain of our relative POSITIONS
little dreaming of its approaching end
As the day wore on, while we sat or walk
ed upon the deck, he tried now and then
to obtain an exchange Of glances; but |
would not notice this, as | perceived that
we were closely watched every instant.
I seemed to have lost the sense of fear
and apprehension for myself, chiefly no
doubt because my feelings were absorbed
by Sebastiano. How to break my oath
did not know, even had | dared to think
of that and how should be able to keep
it. | knew still less
The marchese was very talbative and
fluent, and quite exeried himself to be
"entertaning." We had supper at an
early period Of the night, after which
the marchese arranged that we should
fish for an hour to enjoy the cool night
breezes after so hotla day, as it was too
early for bedtime.
Something peculiar had been construct
ed for this ocsasion. As the deck would
have been too narrow for the number of
visitors who hadb been invited, as we were
informed, two platforms, each of about
four feet width, had been attached by
iron hinges to one side of the upper edge
of the deck. These lay flat at the side of
the yacht, like leaves Of an English table,
but could be raised to the level of the
deck by means Of cords at each end
These cords were solely for this purpose,
but would instantly break with a mans
weight if he stepped upon the platforms
Two long iron brackets were therefore
fixed fatty underneatu each platform,
and these being drawn outward by little
ropes, strongly and securely sustained
these additions to the width OF the deck.
am not good at describing things, and
can only narrate what happens or appears
to me and what ! may have felt and
thought, SO you must try and understand
these two platforms. As for me, the
marchese took care 10 instruct me all
about them well enough.
Both the platforms were now raised,
and the longirdn bia ket5 drawn outward
beneath them, all the hinge parts being
well oiled to make them work easily

done: II have been made the wiie-and-
no-wffe Of cunning artificer, and am
beginning more fully 70 appreciate his
genius" The lurid dawn OF his plan be-
gan to break fitfully upon me.
The marchese called for two chairs, and
bowing courteously to Sebasuano, point
ed to one of them, and then to the fore

lines ought not to be too close together
He then placed his chair upon the plat
