was from the flush of her cheek and the
tenderness of her tone as she closed the
adenza that Giulio now first surmised
what might be the nature of her feelings
towards him. This was the song:
oh, sue not though for fortunes dover
With lordly pomp to gid thy fate,
Nor ask OF cold, ambitious power,
To crown thee with q naughty stated
Seek not for conquest to entwine
Ensanguined laurels in the hair,
But listen to this lay of mine,
This orison, this ardent prayer
Of"l0ve me, love mel"
Oh, if the noontide of thy heart
With sorrow were O'ercast,
If grief had done it's deadliest part
Till Joy were of the past,
How gently mid such gloom would fall
The brilliancy of hopes JOY shine,
When thought on thought would still recall
When first fond lips were pressed to thine,
With "lOVe me. love me!
The song had ceased. II was simple
melody, but there was startling express
sion of earnestness in 1t which struck to
Giulie's heart. For brief space he sat
in silence, and then thus spoke to the
| beautiful cantatr;ce:
"Lay aside the mandarin, dear Beat
rice, and let us talk. You have never
you as my sister, and it is not we'll that
you should be in ignorance OF this"
"Nay," said Beatrice, with smile and
a blush, Il will not own you as a brother,
and will have no unravelling of myster-
les. Let me sing this barcarole." :.
| 'Beatrice," said he, with a grave air
and{earnest tone that suddenly chilled
her mirth Beatrice, this is the time. for
your sake as for my own, to have the
mystery unraveled, if it be worth the
name of mystery. am not quite what I
appear; in word, an of the royal
house of Spain; my mother was the
daughter of a noble OF Almaine my father
the Emperor Charles. To avoid mar
rage of his choice, heart and hand being
| plighted to lady-love of my own, fled
from Spain and became pupil of your
fathers as much from love Of the art as
to give my leisure pleasant occupation"
But he spoke to ears which heard him
not, for ere he had concluded Beatrice
was in swoon. She was speedily recov-
cred and thus earnestly spoke to him:
II did not know could not-that we
had prince beneath our humble roof:
but whatever you are you must quit
Venice. 1t was but yesternight heard
!! at the riddotto at Signor Barberigo's that
the provveditori had an order to arrest
Spanish prince who was disguised and
concealed in Venice, heard it by the
merest chance, as stood near two nobili
who we're talking together, and that the
arrest was to be made tomorrow. You
must fly, signor;. it neither suits your
safety nor your honor that you remain
here. Venice wars with the Emperor
Charles; my father, the most honored
citizen of Venice, has been distinguished
by the emperor, and the suspicion Of hav-
ing willingly harbored you would only
be equaled by the misery Of your capture
here"
Giulio, or, as he should rather be called
Prince Anthony of Leon, seemed aston
ished at this intelligence.
.And whittier can f1y2' demanded he,
seeking counsel in this hour of peril from
Beatrice.
You named-you spoke of-you have
ne to whom your faith is plighted; she
must i'll deserve it If she will not shelter
.you.''
