king carnirat u IEenice.

Suddenly there is the sound of a gun
thrice repeated. The heralds strike UP
the march from aida A hush falls
upon the crowd. The signal has been
given that the King of Carnival has ar
rived. The bark with the sea-shell canopy
makes it way out ON to the lagoon be-
tween the black posts of the channel, fol-
lowed by the skimming gondole. 1t stops
by the side of small, black steamer with
red pipe, that pnffs in from Trieste
every day or SO. The crowd turns and
watches 1t, and sees how the sunlight
flashes on mass Of red and gold that APP
pears on the deck, and moves slowly
down the side and enters the gauze-
winged boat. A murmur rises among the
people, which deepens into cheer.
As the bark nears the steps the people
behold ther royal guest seated on a chair
of state, with his host Pantalone standing
by his side, and the lesser personages
grouped near.
'tHe Is with us once more, after so
many years" whisper the people.
Thoughts of other carnivals crowd upon
them---the welcoming of other sovereigns
the mirth and masking of other days.
The testers throw open the iron gates,
and the old king alights, gathering his
robes around him. He is in scarlet vel
vet, with an ermine mantle. A golden
crown is on his head, and flakes Of gold
sparkle in his long hair. For girdle
he wears string of sausages. He is

volume Of Mrs. Browning's early poetry, pub
lishedi in 1926, when she was between sixteeT
and seventeen years of age:
Mine eyes are weary of conveying
The farirest things, too soon decayihgi
Mine ears are weary of receiving
The kindest words-oh, past belieyingl
Weary my hope, of ebb and flow;
Weary my pulse, of tunes of Woe:
My trusting heart is wearest.
I would would ] were at rest
For me can earth refuse to fade?
For me can words be faithful made?

And DER mine heart a stone be press'd-
Or vain this" Would were at restm
There is land Of rest deferr'd:
No eye hath seen, no ear hath heard,
Nor Hope hath trod the precinct DER;
For hope beheld his hope no InOrei
There human pulse fOrgets its tone
There hearts may know as they are known!

| But he took no notice of her, and was
! about 10 sound third time, when with a
tearing, groaning noise, the whole ledge
where she stood slipped away from under
| her, and slid rather than dashed down
| into the sea.
| Falling with it, she received no hurt,
but whea it suddenly ceased TO move she
was flung as if from a catapult right out
upon the surface of the ford.
OF course she sank senseless and like a
stone; but as she rose again Carl and his
boat shot near, and just as she was about
to sink, his hand grasped band of her
floating hair, and drew her towards him.
Next moment his strong arms had lifted
her into the BOAT, while from his lips es-
capped the cry
Good heavens. it is Elmer
AT his words she opened her eyes and
half rose up.
"Oh, is il you, Gail Fly fly !" she cried.
The cave is full of smugglers, and they
will kill yor if they think you have found
out their hiding place Fly fyr'
''Smugglers in the cave" cried Carl.
"Then NAV God have mercy on their
souls! See, the fallen cliff has shut them
in forever, and they are buried alive!"
Eline started up yet more, and looking
towards the cave saw that where its
mouth had been was now q round topped
hill formed of rocks and earth, and SO
large that no human hands might remove
it for years
ooh, it is horrible, horrible Can they
not b., saved2" she cried.
"There is no salvation for them in this
world" replied Carl, solemnly, as he took
the oars and began to row towards the
beach, where stood their father, strainlng
his eyes to watch their every movements
When they reached the beach, and he
found they were both safe, though Eline a
little shaken, he wept tears of Joy again and
again. Then the three went up to their
home, and there knelt down and gave
thanks for their escape, at the same time
praying for mercy for the poor wretches
who had found living grave.
Years after, when the sea had done its
work, and washed away the hill of loose
earth that closed the cave, Carl and Eline
ventured to visit it. The sight they saw
was enough to freeze the blood
Here and there, about the habitable
part OF the cave lay the bodies of the men
as they had died. They were in all i'm
aginable attitudes of agony, despair, and
rage, and in one or two cases it was evil
dent they had fought and slain eacH
other.
Over all their bodies was white coat
ing, like polished marble, formed by the
dripping from the roof: and fancitul
person might easily imagine them TO he
