The departure of Garibaldrs family from the Isl =

should have been completed, is rendered necessary
by the state of Manlio's health. The boy is strik-
ingly like his father, but delicate. Menoti, as the
head of the family refrains from expressing any
wish with reference to the disposal of his fathers
remains, except that, if they are claimed by Italy,
they may remain for year ut least in the spot
where it was his fathers desire that they should
rest forever. The tomb has been constructed of
granite slabs cut from the neighboring rocks.
Upon the slab which forms the cover is inscribed
the single word "Garibaldi,' with the Star of the
Thousand of Marsala carved above it.

And was helped up the ladder with a crab hang

secutive epileptic fits while the marine corn doc
tor was being removed. The Mephistophelean
glee of the broker, however, gave him away, and
for fear of some counter trick, he decided TO bathe
early in the morning thereafter. A few days after
that the bath h-house keeper was startled by some
terrific yclls and hastily entering the tank house,
he beheld the broker houndering out with q big
jagged toothed spring rat.trap clinched on his
heel.
''Who the devil put this horrible thing in the
